Global Procurement - Chile/Peru Copper Concentrate

Copper concentrate from Chile/Peru

By bypassing 12 layers of middlemen, we directly connect with leading mining companies such as Chile's National Copper Corporation and Peru's mining industry, compressing the supply chain from mine to smelter by 40%. The monitoring stations we have established in the Andes Mountains of South America enable real-time synchronization of mining progress, ensuring a stable supply of over 200,000 tons per month, equivalent to 7% of China's monthly import volume.

ISO Full-chain Quality Traceability

From port-of-origin SGS testing to port-of-destination CIQ re-inspection, each shipment is accompanied by a blockchain-based quality passport documenting 18 key indicators, including copper grade (≥25%) and impurity content (lead and zinc ≤1%). In the event of grade fluctuations exceeding ±0.5%, we commit to initiating a price difference compensation or free return mechanism within 48 hours.

Flexible Supply Chain Solutions

With a 180,000-ton bulk carrier charter agreement, the shipping time from Chile to Lianyungang is locked at 22 days, which is 30% shorter than the industry average. The innovative “futures price lock + batch pickup” model can reduce customer capital occupation by 50% and provide a hedge buffer when LME copper prices fluctuate wildly.

Procurement Support

We understand the industry concerns behind the 80% external dependency rate — supply disruption risks caused by geopolitical turmoil, cost surges due to exchange rate fluctuations, and compliance pressures triggered by tightening environmental policies.
