Precious Metals & Coal Division

Africa's richest resources, buyer to mine, direct.

A dedicated desk that connects industrial buyers worldwide with verified African mines and their accredited agents across precious metals, base metals, and coal. We facilitate every deal; we do not act as the supplier.

The Mandate

A key link in the African supply chain.

Africa supplies the materials that power the modern world, and Pinnacle Impex sits in the middle of that flow as the trusted facilitator. Our Precious Metals & Coal division has direct working relationships with mines across the continent and the accredited agents who represent them, connecting their production to refiners, smelters, utilities, and battery manufacturers across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

We aren't limited to a top-ten list. If a buyer needs a specific precious metal, a particular coal grade, or an off-spec parcel for a niche application, we connect them with the mine or agent who can deliver it. Every introduction is backed by full chain-of-custody documentation and pre-shipment inspection by SGS, CCIC, or Bureau Veritas.
