Maximising Offtake Returns for Mining Companies
Maximising Offtake Returns for Mining Companies
Minerals to Market provides expert offtake negotiation and offtake management services to secure the best mine gate return for mining companies selling their concentrates and direct shipping ores to market. Unlike many commodity traders that look to take a share of mineral value between mine and smelter, we set mining companies up to deal directly with smelters and maximise offtake returns for mining companies.
Our Services
Offtake Negotiation
Minerals to Market assists mining companies negotiate the best possible offtake terms for their concentrates and direct shipping ores with smelters worldwide. We provide detailed financial models to analyse offtake agreements and their various clauses and then draft the offtake agreement to protect mining company interests.
Transport & Logistics
Minerals to Market analyses logistics alternatives in bulk, breakbulk, and containers to identify the overall lowest cost to potential smelting options. Clients are provided with detailed financial models which can be used in conjunction with offtake models to determine the best net mine gate return for concentrates and direct shipping ores.
Project Feasibility
Minerals to Market assists mining companies with project feasibility work including indicative terms for concentrates and direct shipping ores, logistics costs to various smelting options and grade versus recovery analysed against revenue and logistics costs. We assist with models ranging from scoping through to feasibility standard.
Offtake Management
Minerals to Market manages offtake agreements on behalf of mining companies at a lower cost to employing staff or using a commodity trader. Our expertise in offtake agreements, letters of credit, stockpile finance, customs clearance, port operations, bulk shipping and weighing, sampling and assaying enables us to extract the maximum mine gate return for clients.
Ship Chartering
Minerals to Market fulfills the role of shipping department for mining companies by chartering bulk, break bulk and container vessels with shipowners worldwide at the most economic freight rates for service required. Unlike many shipbrokers which focus on sea freight, we look at the entire supply chain in conjunction with smelting terms offered to extract the maximum mine gate return for our clients.
Supply Chain Management

Our supply chain service is fully integrated with offtake management and ship chartering to maximise mine gate revenue for clients.
