Why counterparties stay

Fair dealing is the strategy

Producers are tired of being squeezed on price by counterparties who never take risk. Our model is deliberately different: transparent economics, honest grading, and long-term supply relationships - because a mine that trusts its buyer ships again next month. That is how we grow.

Origination

We know the ground the goods come from

Our supply relationships are direct - licensed mining operations, not layered intermediary chains. That means verified grades, honest documentation and cargo that shows up as contracted.

What we do

Trade. Place. Verify.

01

We Trade

Our core business. We buy from verified producers, take title to the cargo, and sell to industrial consumers and trading houses - refineries, mills and smelters. We carry the documentary, quality and performance risk, and we earn the difference between what we pay and what we are paid, not a commission.

02

We Place

We take our own cargo to market across India, Asia and the Gulf, priced against recognised indices - LME, Fastmarkets and CRU - with export through the Beira and Durban corridors and documents through banks.

03

We Verify

Assay, licence and counterparty checks before we commit to a position. We take title at source only once grade and documentation stand up.

How a deal runs

01

Enquiry

Tell us what you are buying or selling - commodity, grade, volume, destination.

02

Verification

Assay reports, licences and counterparty checks before anything is committed.

03

Contract

Clear terms priced against recognised indices, inspection agreed up front.

04

Delivery

Export via Beira or Durban, documents through banks, settlement on terms.

Shipping

Two corridors. Every ocean.

Cargo leaves Africa through Beira and Durban and sails for India, Asia and the Gulf. Documents move through banks, inspection travels with the shipment, and both sides always know where their tonnes are.

About

Ras Al Khaimah, with African roots

Forest Castle Group operates from its registered facility in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, at the natural crossroads between African supply and the buyers of India, Asia and the Gulf, with a permanent office to follow as volume supports it. Our origination network sits on the ground in Zimbabwe, with direct access to licensed mining operations.

We are deliberately small, senior and hands-on. Every transaction is run by a principal, not passed down a desk.
