Questions we hear
from global partners

How do I pay for minerals or services?
Payment is made directly to BlackAurium Holdings at your agreed terms. We work with international payment structures appropriate to commodity trade, including wire transfer and trade finance instruments. Our team will guide you through the process during the enquiry stage.
What does ESG compliance mean for our supply chain?
Our ESG compliance means that every mineral we supply has been sourced, processed, and documented in accordance with environmental, social, and governance best practices. This satisfies regulatory requirements in the EU, US, and other jurisdictions — and protects your organisation from reputational and legal risk associated with conflict minerals or non-compliant sourcing.
What is AuriumConnect and how does traceability work?
AuriumConnect is our proprietary mineral traceability platform. It records and verifies the chain of custody from extraction point through refining and delivery. You receive full documentation — including certificates of origin, processing records, and compliance attestations — giving your procurement team the audit trail required by international regulators and OEM standards.
Where are you located and how do we engage with you?
Our offices are at 37 Buitenkant Street, Cape Town, South Africa. We work with international clients across the globe — engagements typically begin with a scoping call or meeting to understand your volume requirements, compliance needs, and preferred commercial structure. Contact us by phone, email, or WhatsApp to begin the conversation.
Which minerals do you supply and in what quantities?
We supply cobalt sulphate, cobalt metals, cobalt concentrate, cobalt hydroxide, lithium concentrate, lithium hydroxide, copper cathodes, PSGs, and other battery and industrial minerals. Quantities and specifications are discussed during the enquiry process — we accommodate both spot purchases and long-term offtake agreements.
