Supplier Verification
Fraud in cross-border mineral trading typically starts with an unverified seller, not a flawed transaction structure. Checking the seller before the deal - not the deal itself - is where risk is actually reduced.
What We Check
- Licensing - confirming the seller holds the mineral dealer licence (or local equivalent) their jurisdiction requires, verified with the issuing authority rather than taken on trust.
- Documentation - reviewing export licences, compliance certificates and other paperwork a legitimate seller should be able to produce.
- Business history - checking whether the entity has an established, traceable operating history rather than being newly created to service a single transaction.
What Verification Doesn’t Cover
Supplier verification confirms who you’re dealing with. It doesn’t confirm the material itself - that’s what assay services are for. The two work together: a verified seller, and independently verified material.
Get Started
If you need a supplier checked before you commit to a transaction, contact us with the seller’s details.
