Copper Ore & Concentrates
Copper ore and flotation concentrate inquiries with impurity focus.
Copper concentrate trade depends heavily on payable metals and deleterious elements. We help buyers define acceptable Cu ranges, precious-metal interest and impurity limits such as As, Sb, Bi, Pb, Zn and Hg before approaching suppliers.
Forms typically discussed
- Copper ore (oxide / sulphide)
- Copper flotation concentrate
What buyers should prepare
- Import impurity regulations at destination
- Payable terms and treatment/refining charge basis
