Buyer-led
We begin with the buyer’s use case, specification, volume, delivery location and timing.
Our role in the supply chain
Optrace is a merchant focused on graphite, tungsten and copper. We work around the practical questions that determine whether a minerals transaction can proceed: what material is required, what evidence supports it, how it will be inspected, which documents are needed and how delivery responsibilities are allocated.
We aim to make sourcing discussions more specific and execution more disciplined. Rather than treating a supplier introduction as the end point, we focus on aligning material specifications, documentation, commercial terms and logistics expectations.
Evidence-conscious
Assay, origin and counterparty records are reviewed according to the requirements and evidence available for each transaction.
Commercially structured
Price basis, inspection, Incoterms, payment terms and responsibilities should be clear before a firm commitment.
Execution-aware
Logistics and documentation are considered early, not left as an afterthought once material is committed.
Our operating principle
We source it. We verify it. We structure it. We deliver it. The exact checks and services depend on the material, counterparties, route and contract, and claims are made only to the extent supported by available evidence.
Our current focus
Our core mineral focus is natural graphite, tungsten concentrate and copper. Additional materials may be considered when a defined buyer mandate and qualified supply information support a workable transaction.
