Assess the material.
Clarify the basis.
Prepare minerals, ores and concentrates enquiries around material identity, assay information, physical condition and the intended processing requirement.
Start with the assay and commercial basis.
A minerals or concentrates enquiry should identify the material and the composition relevant to its intended use. Share the available assay, the sampling basis and the quantity under discussion.
Specify whether figures are expressed on a dry or wet basis and identify moisture requirements. Impurities, particle size and physical condition may also be relevant to evaluation.
Origin, location, inspection arrangements and commercial availability require material-specific confirmation. Our specialist materials imagery represents the wider catalogue and is not a photograph of a mineral lot.

Sampling & inspection
State how representative samples, independent inspection or loading checks should be arranged. These need agreement for the actual supply.
Quality & documentation →Composition & acceptance
Identify payable elements, critical impurities and the limits needed for your process. Provide the specification used to evaluate an offer.
Share your specification →Shipment planning
Communicate destination, packaging, loading and documentation expectations before commercial terms are finalised.
Shipping & delivery →Keep the supply-chain facts distinct.
Country of origin, processing location and dispatch point may differ. Do not infer one from another. Request the documents and disclosures your procurement process needs.
The final offer should identify the material, specification, quantity basis and any agreed inspection or documentary conditions.
Payment milestones and delivery terms are confirmed in the quotation and proforma invoice. Published catalogue content is not a guarantee of a particular lot, assay, production capacity or delivery date.
