Copper cathode exporter — Grade A chemistry, verified by assay.
Copper cathode offered against the Cu-CATH-1 (BS EN 1978) / ASTM B115 specification — Cu ≥ 99.99% — in strapped bundles, containerised and shipped from Douala with producer and independent certificates.
What we supply
We offer refined copper cathode to fabricators, rod mills and traders. Each lot is sold on its certified chemistry: the producer’s certificate of analysis, confirmed by independent assay, against the Cu-CATH-1 / ASTM B115 Grade 1 specification.
We state the brand and producer of every lot and never describe a cathode as an LME-registered brand unless it is one.

| Bundles | Strapped bundles, typically 2–3 MT each, tagged with bundle ID and net weight |
| Brand / producer | Stated per lot |
Where it comes from
Cameroon is not itself a refined-copper producer. Copper cathode is therefore sourced through documented supply partners, and the producer and country of origin of each lot are stated on its mill certificate and certificate of origin — not implied.
How it ships

Copper cathode — buyer questions
Are your cathodes an LME-registered brand?
Brand and producer are stated per lot on the offer and mill certificate. Where a lot is not an LME-registered brand, it is offered on its certified chemistry against the Cu-CATH-1 / ASTM B115 specification — never described as LME brand.
How is copper cathode priced?
Typically on the LME Copper cash settlement for an agreed quotational period, plus or minus an agreed premium or discount.
Can we inspect before loading?
Yes. Pre-shipment inspection by an independent company — including weighing, bundle counts and sampling — can be witnessed by the buyer’s representative.
