The commodities we bring to society
Aluminium
Aluminium
Often referred to as the metal of the future due to its light weight, durability, strength, corrosion resistance, recyclability and electrical conductivity.Copper
Copper
A key metal used in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. It is an excellent conductor of electricity, making it even more critical as the world moves towards electrification.Silver
Silver
A precious metal used to make coins, jewellery, medical appliances and electronics. It is also a key component for the production of solar photovoltaic cells.Lead
Lead
A heavy metal that is mainly used in batteries. Traditionally used to start cars, lead-acid batteries are being increasingly used to power electric vehicles.Zinc

A metal increasingly in demand for batteries that store wind and solar energy and widely used for galvanising iron and steel to protect against corrosion. It’s long been used in construction because of its special properties.
Nickel
Nickel
Has an important role to play as the world transitions to a more sustainable future due to its use as an alloy in wind, solar and geothermal power infrastructure.Manganese
Manganese
A metal in high demand that is increasingly used in EV battery chemistries and to improve the quality and strength of steel in major infrastructure such as hospitals, office towers and bridges.
