COMMODITY TRADING & STRUCTURED OFFTAKE
Trading with operating discipline.
Mhatu structures physical commodity transactions around authority, product evidence and executable delivery, not merely a price discussion.
What every transaction is built around
Mhatu may participate as offtaker, seller, buyer-side supplier, marketer or transaction-execution coordinator, depending on the mandate. The role is defined before engagement so title, obligations, information flows, risk and value are visible to the principals.
Authority
Rights holder, mandate, producer, supplier and authorised signatories.
Product
Grade, sizing, moisture, quantity, tolerance, rejection and testing.
Contract
Title, risk, price basis, documentation, remedies and performance.
Logistics
Loading, transport, storage, terminal, border and delivery capacity.
Payment
Security, invoicing, release conditions, testing and settlement.
Counterparty
Corporate identity, beneficial ownership, sanctions and capability.
Commodity focus
African origin. Defined demand.
For buyers & offtakers
Closer to origin. Clear on delivery.
Mhatu connects buyer requirements to source authority, product evidence, operating reality and delivery controls before commitments are treated as executable.
Define the buying mandate: corporate principal and intended use, commodity and specification, realistic trial and ramp-up quantities, inspection and rejection protocols, delivery point and Incoterm, and payment security.
Portfolio
A broader commodity portfolio.
Sixteen mineral and mineral-product categories, complemented by gas and oil. Commodity inclusion does not guarantee stock, grade or delivery. Product form, quantity, authority and commercial terms are confirmed for each mandate.
Steelmaking & bulk
Chrome, manganese, iron ore, coal, ferrochrome, vanadium.
Base & precious metals
Copper and gold, in cathode, ore or concentrate form subject to traceable origin.
Strategic minerals
Lithium, tin, tungsten, nickel, cobalt, tantalum and rare earths, evaluated selectively.
Potential greenfield interests
Uranium is named only as an example of a potential greenfield development interest. No uranium rights, licences, active projects, resource estimate or supply are held or implied.
Oil, petroleum & gas
Crude oil, diesel, petrol and mandate-led gas opportunities, through appropriately authorised and licensed parties.
Delivery bases
Contract-defined FOT and Incoterms 2020 rules such as FCA, FOB and CIF, selected for the transaction and mode of transport.
