⚡

HPAL Feedstock (EV Batteries)

Our limonite ore, with its 1.42% Ni and high Fe content, is the ideal input for High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) plants producing Nickel Sulfate for the EV battery supply chain.
Best fit: China HPAL buyers
Procurement lens: consistency & auditability
🏭

NPI & Stainless Steel

Consistent grading and controlled impurities (low MgO/SiO2 ratios) ensure high-efficiency production in Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) and stainless steel smelting operations.
Best fit: Indonesia NPI & stainless desks
Procurement lens: sizing & moisture predictability
↔ Global intermediaries (C): bankable terms, compliance clarity, and repeatable documentation workflow.
✓ Stainless producers (D): consistent supply cadence aligned with smelter scheduling and operational continuity.

logistics & supply chain excellence.

Our logistics infrastructure is engineered for the high-volume demands of global smelters. By centralizing our operations through the Iskenderun Port hub, we minimize lead times and maximize shipment reliability.

  • ✔ Incoterms: Primarily FOB Iskenderun / Türkiye
  • ✔ Vessel Laycan: Strategic scheduling every 15-60 days
  • ✔ Sizing Precision: Controlled 0-50 mm (d80=37.5 mm) processing
  • ✔ Stock Management: Advanced batch-pile segregation

quality assurance protocol.

We understand that metallurgical consistency is the backbone of your refinery’s ROI. Our quality protocol is non-negotiable:

Each cargo is inspected and certified by SGS or Alfred H. Knight. Analysis is available at truck-level or batch-level to ensure absolute transparency.
