We specialize in high-demand, critical minerals sourced responsibly across Africa, including:

• Cobalt – Battery-grade, for EVs and energy storage
• Lithium – Spodumene and brine-based, supporting clean energy
• Coltan (Tantalum Ore) – Essential for electronics and aerospace
• Tin (Cassiterite) – Industrial and tech applications
• Tungsten (Wolframite) – High-strength manufacturing
• Gemstones & Semi-Precious Minerals – Ethically sourced and certified

We also offer custom sourcing solutions for rare earth elements and specialty minerals. All materials are processed to meet international purity and size specifications.

Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, we maintain a strong operational presence across key mineral-rich regions, including:

• Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – Cobalt, coltan, tin
• Zambia & Zimbabwe – Lithium, tantalum, base metals
• Tanzania & Mozambique – Gemstones, graphite, rare earths
• Rwanda & Burundi – 3TG (Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, Gold) compliant supply

Our regional offices and field teams ensure on-the-ground oversight, compliance, and rapid response to market changes.

Ethics are non-negotiable. We follow strict due diligence protocols aligned with:

• OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains
• ITSCI, RCS Global, and iPoint compliance frameworks
• Local government traceability programs (e.g., iTSCi tagging system)

Every shipment is audited for origin, processed through conflict-free zones, and documented with full chain-of-custody records. We do not source from artisanal mines linked to human rights abuses or illegal operations.

Yes. CM Mining is ESG-driven by design. Our supply chain is built on:

• Environmental protection (low-impact processing, waste reduction)
• Social responsibility (community engagement, fair labor practices)
• Governance (transparent reporting, anti-corruption policies)

We provide ESG compliance reports and support our clients’ sustainability reporting needs, Including Scope 3 emissions tracking and responsible sourcing declarations.

Absolutely. Unlike spot-market suppliers, we offer long-term supply agreements backed by:

• Strategic partnerships with licensed mining cooperatives and industrial operators
• In-country stockpiling and processing hubs for rapid fulfillment
• Flexible volume contracts (from container loads to bulk shipments)

Our 99.8% on-time delivery rate and multi-source network ensure supply continuity, even during market disruptions.

Quality is our promise. We implement a 4-stage verification process:

1. On-site testing – XRF analysis and visual grading at source
2. Centralized processing – Crushing, sorting, and purification at our partner facilities
3. Lab certification – Independent third-party assays (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek)
4. Final inspection – Pre-shipment quality check and documentation

You receive full test reports, certificates of analysis (CoA), and batch traceability with every order.

We handle all export formalities and deliver complete, audit-ready documentation, including:

• Commercial Invoice & Packing List
• Bill of Lading
• Certificate of Origin
• Assay Reports & Quality Certificates
• Conflict Minerals Reporting (CMRT)
• ESG & Due Diligence Statements
• Customs clearance support (importer-specific requirements)

No paperwork stress, Just smooth, compliant delivery.

Lead times depend on destination and order size, but here’s our typical timeline:

• Processing & Export Clearance: 7–10 days
• Sea Freight (Africa to Europe/Asia/USA): 21–35 days
• Air Freight (Express): 5–7 days (for urgent, high-value shipments)

We optimize routes through Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, and Durban ports for faster global access.

Yes. While we serve multinational corporations, we also support SMEs, startups, and emerging manufacturers with:

• Minimum order quantities starting at 1 MT (varies by mineral)
• Flexible payment terms and logistics options
• Dedicated account management

We believe access to high-quality African minerals shouldn’t be limited by company size.
