About OreTrade
OreTrade connects miners, traders, brokers and refiners across every ore type, base metal, rare earth element and precious commodity. From mine to market, ethically.
Get in TouchOreTrade is a B2B marketplace for physical commodity trading. We cover iron ore, copper, gold, nickel, lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, and 40+ other ore types and base metals. Every trade on OreTrade comes with a Digital Product Passport: a verifiable digital record containing mine of origin, third party assay certification, conflict free status, full chain of custody, and ESG disclosures.
This is not a financial exchange. OreTrade facilitates physical B2B commodity trading between industrial counterparties: mining companies, trading houses, brokers, refiners, and industrial buyers. All counterparties are KYC and KYB verified before their first trade. Settlement is escrow backed with full audit trail on every transaction.
Iron ore, copper, gold, nickel, lithium, cobalt, rare earths and more. One platform for the full mining supply chain.
Mine of origin. Assay certification. Conflict free status. Chain of custody. ESG disclosures. On every cargo, every time.
Every buyer and seller on OreTrade is KYC and KYB verified. Trust scores, trade history, OECD due diligence compliance.
The global mining and metals market is worth over $8 trillion annually. Most of it still trades offline, through relationships, phone calls, and PDFs. Provenance documentation is inconsistent, counterparty verification is manual and slow, and supply chain transparency is almost entirely absent.
At the same time, the regulatory environment is changing fast. The EU Battery Regulation requires documented due diligence on critical mineral supply chains. The OECD Due Diligence Guidelines mandate responsible sourcing from conflict affected regions. The US Inflation Reduction Act ties EV tax credits to documented supply chain origins. Companies that cannot prove where their minerals come from will face regulatory, commercial, and reputational consequences.
OreTrade solves this by building the documentation infrastructure and trading platform that the next decade of commodity trade requires. Our Digital Product Passport travels with every cargo, giving buyers instant, verifiable proof of ethical sourcing at the point of trade.
OreTrade launched in 2026 against the backdrop of the most significant rare earth supply disruption in decades. China's Announcement 18 (April 2025) placed dysprosium, terbium, samarium and yttrium under export licensing controls, restricting supply to Western manufacturers and causing prices to double in under twelve months.
These four elements are inside every electric vehicle motor, wind turbine generator, and a range of defence and aerospace systems built outside China. There is no short term substitute. OreTrade's rare earth marketplace connects buyers with verified producers in Australia, Canada, Sweden and the United States, with every cargo carrying a Digital Product Passport confirming mine origin and conflict free status.
