Four rules for metals deals
- Grade is everything.Ask for the assay or analysis certificate and agree the grade and tolerance in the contract.
- No warehouse-release fees.Requests to pay for “release”, “storage” or “certificates” before delivery are a scam pattern.
- Inspect scrap before loading.Photos are not enough: use an independent inspector.
- Match the price to the market.Copper cathode or gold far below the world price is not a real offer.
