Aurum Resources trades copper cathode and concentrate, takes mandates to sell and acquire mines, and runs procurement for outside investors who want Zambian copper without running the operation themselves.
Most Zambian mining deals die between the seller, the buyer and the paperwork. Aurum sits in the middle and keeps the deal moving, from first call to signed terms.
Spot and term supply of copper cathode, and offtake of copper concentrate, between Zambian producers and international buyers.
Sale and acquisition mandates for operating mines, development projects, licences and tailings. We prepare the data pack, qualify the other side and run the process.
Overseas funds, family offices and strategic buyers give us a written brief. We source matching Zambian copper assets or offtake and coordinate technical and legal diligence.

Zambia has one of Africa’s deepest copper endowments, with established production on the Copperbelt and growing development in the North-Western Province. Power, logistics and licensing are the constraints that decide whether a project works, which is why Aurum is built by an operator of energy and infrastructure businesses in the country, not a remote intermediary.
Aurum Resources is a trading and advisory desk and does not provide investment, legal or tax advice. Every transaction is subject to due diligence, contract and applicable Zambian law.
Copper cathode is refined copper produced by electrorefining or electrowinning. LME Grade A cathode is 99.99 percent copper and is the standard traded form for metal delivery.
Copper concentrate is the product of milling and flotation of sulphide ore. It typically carries a copper grade in the range of 20 to 30 percent and is sold to smelters under terms that set payable metal, treatment charges and refining charges.
