Copper cathode is the refined, market-standard form of copper used for wire rod, alloying, and further processing. We supply full-size and cut cathodes sourced from copperbelt refiners in the DRC and Zambia, moved to Dar es Salaam for export.
Buyers receive a Certificate of Analysis with each shipment, and SGS inspection can be arranged prior to loading on request.
