Facilities

Four ways we finance mineral trade.

Each facility is structured to the transaction. The right one depends on where you sit in the chain — miner, aggregator, exporter, or refiner.

01

Pre-export finance

Working capital advanced against a confirmed offtake contract. Repaid from the export proceeds at settlement.

  • Up to 80% advance against contracted value
  • Facility sized to your confirmed export volume
  • Single or revolving structure

02

Purchase order finance

We fund the purchase and aggregation of concentrate from licensed miners against a signed buyer contract.

  • Payment directly to licensed suppliers
  • Independent assay and weight verification
  • Custody and transit insurance arranged

03

Structured export finance

Bespoke facilities for larger exporters moving multiple consignments per quarter, including LC discounting.

  • Bonds and guarantees on request
  • Multi-jurisdiction settlement support
  • Dedicated trade finance officer

04

Refinery-gate advances

Short-tenor advances secured against delivered material awaiting final assay and settlement.

  • 3–21 day tenor
  • Assay-based valuation
  • Release against Bill of Lading

Eligibility

What we need before we can lend.

We lend against real transactions with real buyers. If you can document the trade, we can structure the financing.

Compliance first

We operate under Uganda's AML and minerals-trade regulations. Every counterparty is screened before we commit capital.

  • Valid mineral dealer or export licence
  • Track record of at least 12 months of exports
  • Confirmed offtake or buyer contract
  • Clean title to the material being financed
  • KYC and AML documentation for beneficial owners
