Participate in purchasing a mine.
For investors who want the asset rather than the cargo. We source operating mines, licences and deposits, run the technical and legal due diligence, structure the acquisition, joint venture or co-investment — and because CommoFlow is a physical trading house, the production has a route to market from day one.
Assets come from the regions our trading desk works daily: the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Africa and Australia.
Sourcing the asset
For investors buying into production rather than buying cargo, we source operating mines, mining licences and mineral deposits through the same producer network the trading desk works every day — including owners who would never list an asset publicly. You tell us the commodity, jurisdiction appetite and ticket size; we bring assets that actually match, not a data-room of everything for sale.
Due diligence before money moves
Technical and legal due diligence run before any commitment: geology and resource statements checked against JORC or the local code, licence validity and transferability confirmed, liabilities and royalties mapped, and the operating numbers tested against what the material would really fetch on a delivered basis — a number a trading house can verify rather than model.
Structuring the participation
Participation takes whatever shape fits the asset and the investor: outright acquisition, a stake alongside the existing owner, a joint venture with staged earn-in, or co-investment with other participants we bring to the table. We structure the transaction, coordinate the lawyers on both sides, and stay in the deal through completion.
Offtake behind the investment
Being a trading house is the differentiator: we can put a real offtake behind a project rather than only pointing at someone else’s capital. Production from the asset can flow straight to market through our own desk — and offtake-backed prepayment against future production is often part of the structure, which changes the economics for both the investor and the mine.
Common questions
What does “participating in purchasing a mine” mean in practice?
It covers the range from buying an operating mine outright to taking a minority stake alongside other investors. We source the asset, run technical and legal due diligence, structure the acquisition, joint venture or co-investment, and — because we are a trading house — can attach a real offtake to the production. You choose the level of exposure; the desk is the same.
What ticket sizes do you work with?
It depends on the asset and structure — a licence-stage deposit and an operating mine are different propositions. Send the commodity, preferred jurisdictions and the range you want to deploy, and we will say plainly whether we have something that fits or not.
Do I need mining experience to participate?
No. The technical and legal work — resource verification, licence checks, operational review — is what you engage us for, and the offtake through our trading desk means the route from production to revenue does not depend on you building a sales operation.
I own a mine and want capital rather than a buyer. Same desk?
Yes — from the other side. We introduce investors, funds and JV partners to mine owners, or arrange offtake-backed prepayment against future production. See Investors for mining projects for that direction.
