Commodities
A Zambia-led physical materials desk serving smelters, processors, manufacturers and industrial buyers with documented origin and transaction-specific quality controls.
5
core products with specification sheets
01
The desk handles LME Grade A copper cathode, zinc ore from 20%–60% Zn, manganese ore, gold doré and H₂SO₄ 98.0%–98.5% commercial smelter-grade sulphuric acid.
02
Zinc is central to galvanised steel, durable mechanical components, battery and electrical applications, brass production and industrial protective coatings. Mercury structures spot purchases and term supply or off-take discussions around the buyer’s required assay, volume, loading point and delivery basis.
03
Mercury’s current zinc offering is sized lump and fines at 20%–60% Zn. Each requirement is assessed against grade, moisture and relevant penalty elements, with commercial terms subject to the final assay and executed sale and purchase agreement.
Direct product enquiry
Submit the required grade, volume and schedule. The request opens in the trading desk inbox, where the quotation and follow-up messages are emailed back to you.
04
Manganese ore is a strategic metallurgical input for ferroalloy production and steelmaking, with selected material also serving specialty processing requirements. Mercury structures spot and term supply around the buyer’s target grade, sizing, volume, loading point and delivery basis.
05
Mercury’s current manganese offering is Mn 38%–48% in sized and lump fractions. Every quotation is transaction-specific and remains subject to final assay, moisture determination, sizing review and the executed sale and purchase agreement.
Direct product enquiry
Submit the required grade, volume and schedule. The request opens in the trading desk inbox, where the quotation and follow-up messages are emailed back to you.
06
Commercial terms are assessed against contained manganese, physical quality, lot size, loading location and the agreed Incoterm. Origin records, export permits, weighbridge tickets and independent assay or inspection documents are supplied where applicable to the transaction.
07
Gold doré is a semi-refined, silver-bearing alloy produced for onward refining rather than an exchange-traded finished bullion product. Mercury structures transaction-specific supply for qualified refinery, jewellery and precious-metals counterparties, subject to source review, assay, export requirements and refinery acceptance.
08
Mercury’s stated gold doré offering is Au 85%–96% fineness in numbered bars, with a 5 kg minimum consignment. Provisional commercial terms are reconciled against the contracted assay and refinery outturn, with deductions, payable metal and settlement mechanics defined in the executed agreement.
09
Precious-metals transactions require enhanced controls. Mercury reviews the supplier, declared origin, legal right to sell and transaction documents before progressing an allocation. Independent assay, export documentation, secure insured carriage and refinery acceptance are arranged or confirmed where required by the contract.
10
A complete request allows the desk to assess product suitability, compliance requirements and commercial structure without implying that inventory has been reserved.
11
The desk coordinates specification review, loading-point selection, inspection and moisture documentation, origin and export records, and the logistics needed for the agreed delivery term. Buyers can submit their required assay, volume, destination and preferred Incoterm for a transaction-specific quotation.
12
Supply can be structured ex-works at mine, warehouse, vault or smelter gantry, with product-specific inspection, weight and export documentation.
