Reyneke
Commodities

Connecting African mineral producers with global buyers.

Reyneke Commodities brokers offtake for chrome, manganese, copper and lithium. We look for producers with ore to sell, review the documents they provide, and introduce them to traders and smelters looking for supply.

For buyers

Traders, smelters and converters looking for new supply outside the majors.

  • We look for junior and restart producers that are not yet tied to an offtake
  • Before an introduction, we ask producers for permits, assays and production records and review what they provide
  • One contact, based in Cape Town, who can visit sites where it makes sense
  • Spot parcels or longer-term offtake, depending on what the producer can supply

For producers

Mine owners with ore to sell, or an offtake that pays too little.

  • Where possible we approach more than one buyer, rather than relying on a single local smelter
  • Some buyers link offtake to prepayment or equipment funding. We can ask, but it depends on the buyer and the deal
  • Routes to market that work under export rules and rail limits
  • No fee until a contract is signed and the first shipment has shipped and been paid for

How a deal runs

Six steps from first call to first shipment. Nobody's name or data is shared before step three.

  1. Mandate

    A producer or buyer appoints us for a defined product, volume and period.

  2. Match

    We shortlist counterparties that fit on grade, volume, logistics and payment terms.

  3. Protect

    Non-circumvention, confidentiality and fee agreements are signed before any names change hands.

  4. Introduce

    We put the two sides in contact, with the assays, permits and production data the producer has provided.

  5. Contract

    We support the negotiation on price basis, Incoterms, payment terms and inspection.

  6. First shipment

    Our fee is paid only after a contract is signed and the first shipment has shipped and been paid for.

Illustrative export corridors

Mineral regions we focus on in Southern and Central Africa, and the export ports listed for each. Logistics affect the price as much as grade does, so we look at the route to port early in every enquiry.

The map is a simplified illustration. Lines show possible region-to-port relationships, not fixed routes: actual routing depends on the cargo, infrastructure availability and the export rules that apply.
