A metals and minerals trading house, built inside a governed group.
We are the subsidiary of BV Holdings PLC responsible for exporting metals, minerals and scrap out of Cameroon — to international buyers, refiners and smelters who need to know exactly what they are buying and where it came from.
Precise by design, because this sector demands it.
Metals and minerals buyers — gold buyers above all — are right to be sceptical. Conflict sourcing, money-laundering exposure and undocumented supply chains have made trust the scarcest commodity in the trade.
BV Metal and Minerals was set up to answer that scepticism with process rather than promises: specification-first offers, independent assay, recorded chain of custody and a fixed export document set. We trade what we can document, and we say plainly what is still pending.

Four rules we operate by
These are not aspirations. They are the conditions under which we trade, and buyers can hold us to each one.
State only what exists
We list licences, permits and volumes that are current. Anything pending is labelled “in progress” — never implied as active.
Know every counterparty
Suppliers and buyers go through identity, ownership and sanctions screening before any transaction.
Documented or not traded
Material without source, custody and assay records is not offered — regardless of price.
Open to verification
Buyers, refiners and their compliance teams can request our documentation before quoting, through the Compliance Desk.
What we do not do
Being clear about our limits is part of being credible. If a request falls outside these lines, we decline it.
- No undocumented material. No lot is sold without origin, custody and assay records.
- No cash settlement. Payments move through regulated banking channels only.
- No sanctioned or unverified parties — on the supply side or the buy side.
- No unverifiable claims. No licence, certification or volume is published unless we hold it.
- No investment solicitation. This is a trading company’s website, not an offer of securities or returns.
