Altin Resources has made a significant impact in the metals and mining sector by being one of the first mining support firms to optimize transport logistics through the implementation of two-way transport systems. We have synchronized transport modalities on both the import and export routes to refinery sites, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.
Our approach involves supplying raw material consumables essential for mining refinement while simultaneously off-taking the refined products of these materials. This innovative strategy allows us to utilize the same transport vehicles for both importing consumables and exporting refined metals, effectively creating a streamlined two-way transport system. This system leads to substantial cost savings, which directly benefit our customers' bottom lines. In the transport industry, this optimization of routes is commonly referred to as a 'back-haul' rate.
Our Services
Our services for customers in the metals and mining industry can be broadly categorized into two main areas:
Consumables Supply
We collaborate closely with process engineers at our customers' ore processing facilities to identify their specific needs. We then facilitate these requirements by sourcing and delivering high-quality chemical reagents designed to enhance refinery output. Our goal is to establish a seamless logistics and inventory management system, ensuring that our customers' refineries, smelters, and furnaces operate without interruption.
Off-Take Agreements
Through our off-take agreements, we enable mining companies to focus on their core operations—extracting and exploiting their resources. We guarantee the purchase of a mine's entire production, backed by a robust portfolio of top global banks. Our customers can trust that payments will be made in full and on time.
Our metals team is dedicated to ensuring that customers receive the best possible prices for their production. The nature of our work and the caliber of our customers have allowed us to accumulate unparalleled expertise in international trade economics related to metals, intermediary refined materials, and raw ores—expertise that sets us apart from our competitors.
Commodities We Trade
Energy
Global solutions for oil and gas markets
Altin Resources has a proven track record of supplying & marketing crude oil and refined distillates. Though we source our feedstock from all over the world, our oil trading activities are primarily reinforced by strategic alliances with producers and national oil companies in West Africa, Europe and Middle Eastern Regions.
Strategically, these partnerships give us access to a wider range of products at unique rates pegged below market benchmarks. Inherently, the benefits of our corporate alliances underpin the competitiveness of the prices we offer our customers and encourage our commitment to creating additional end-to-end value for all our stakeholders.
Altin Resources is focused on closing the divide between suppliers and end users in some of the most remote communities globally. We provide new stimulus for sustainable growth for consumers, organizations, and nations alike.
Our Competitive Advantage
At Altin Resources, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with an incomparable all-encompassing procurement experience at distinctly competitive prices. Our integrated trans-regional supply network enables us to deliver shipments of premium quality Oil and refined products, on spec & on-schedule to some of the most remote parts of the world.
Free from the structural constraints which limit our more unwieldy competitors; being independent permits us to gain access to an extensive range of products blended explicitly to meet the regulator standards of each nation we service. It also affords us the ability to adapt rapidly to sudden and unexpected changes in market dynamics brought about by geopolitical risk.

Agricultural and Soft Commodities
Supporting global food security and agricultural development
At Altin Resources, we recognize the critical role that companies play in the procurement and delivery of consumable natural resources. With the ongoing growth of the global population, we believe that demand for essential foodstuffs—such as wheat, sugar, vegetable oils, nuts, spices, and grains—will continue to intensify, along with the fertilizer inputs necessary to enhance agricultural yields.
Emerging markets, particularly China, India, and Sub-Saharan Africa, are significantly contributing to the rising demand for food. This trend amplifies the scale of trade, aligning with our corporate goal of increasing our exposure to soft commodities. We aim to assist farmers, food transport providers, consumers, and fertilizer manufacturers in meeting these escalating demands.
Agricultural Inputs
We actively trade in phosphate, urea, potash, and other raw materials essential to the fertilizer manufacturing chain. By providing agricultural inputs in the fertilizer sector, we are attuned to the economic cycles that correlate with the harvest cycles of different producers. This understanding allows us to offer timely support for the needs of farmers and distributors.
Our Approach
Our operational strategy focuses on building credible partnerships with farmers and cooperatives to enhance their capacity to produce consistent quantities of goods. For instance, by managing inventories of commodities that can be safely stored, we help prevent the deterioration of perishable items. This approach facilitates a more balanced distribution of produce throughout the year, resulting in a more stable pricing model for farmers, distributors, and consumers.
At Altin Resources, we monitor annual and monthly global price trends for a selection of soft commodities to forecast future price movements, mitigate risk, and identify opportunities. Our trading and supply chain management operations are meticulously structured at every level, supported by a robust capital and equity base, conservative risk management practices, and diligent corporate governance.
We position ourselves as a reliable and credible counterparty, bolstered by strong trade financing relationships with premier Nigerian and UK financial institutions. These partnerships empower us to effectively fulfill our market-making and price transformation functions.
We are committed to developing long-term strategic partnerships and creating successful synergies that benefit our valued customers and suppliers.
