Critical minerals

Critical minerals, material forms

Earth Metals directly handles critical mineral form factors that span the supply chain. Each material form presents its own unique set of challenges with respect to quality determination, packing and logistics.

Cobalt hydroxideCopper sulphateBrass scrap

Upstream and midstream

We source material from vetted operations and oversee assaying, weighing and moisture determination protocols unique to each product type to ensure quality control and cargo integrity during shipment.

Cobalt cut cathodesNickel pelletsFerrochromeGermanium optical scrap

Downstream

We are a trusted supplier of qualified alloys and high purity metals to the specialty metals and superalloy materials industries where certain applications require ultra low impurity tolerances.

Material forms

Our coverage of material forms includes the following:

  • Ores and concentrates
  • Metals and high-purity metals
  • Alloys: ferroalloys, master alloys and other alloys
  • Intermediates: oxides, salts and other chemical compounds, e.g. crude oxides, hydroxides, sulphates and carbonates
  • Industrial byproducts: waste, filter cakes, spent catalysts, sludges, recycled components and off-specification products
