We buy lead concentrate

G-MTW buys lead concentrate at source for mining holdings and smelters. Lead remains the backbone of starter and backup batteries, and it has one of the most mature recycling chains of any metal.

What we buy

  • Material: lead concentrate
  • Grade: 60-75% Pb
  • Minimum volume: from 100 MT
  • Tell us your monthly capacity as well — we handle both one-off lots and recurring supply

Mandatory specification

The maximums our buyers accept, common to every mineral:

Element Maximum accepted
Arsenic (As) < 0.5%
Mercury (Hg) < 0.005%
Cadmium (Cd) < 0.005%
Sulphur (S) < 9%
Fluorine (F) < 0.10%
Moisture < 5%
Particle size 20-40 mm

Dry basis, backed by laboratory analysis. Lead concentrates frequently carry arsenic, so it is worth having the assay to hand before you offer. Full detail on our specification page.

Commercial terms

  • Incoterms: FOB or CIF
  • Payment: letter of credit
  • Inspection: independent, by SGS, Alfred H. Knight or Bureau Veritas
  • Compliance: OECD Due Diligence Guidance

Where we source from

Our origin regions for lead are Peru, Bolivia and Mexico in Latin America, Kazakhstan in Central Asia and Morocco in North Africa. If you operate in another producing country, write to us anyway.

How to sell us your lead

  1. Send your proposal with grade, moisture, impurities, quantity, Incoterm and port of loading.
  2. We assess feasibility and reply with our counter-proposal: price with its discount table and terms.
  3. Sale and purchase contract once both sides agree.
  4. Follow-up to destination, with documentary control across the chain.

No proposal, no site visit and no negotiation — it is always the first step.
