Founded 2026 · Singapore · Planned nodes: Rotterdam · Zurich · Dubai
A physical-metals house in formation in Singapore. Thirty-two metals. One principal. Not incorporated. Not licensed. Not an offer.
The book we intend to run covers the precious and bulk metals that built the last century, the energy metals powering the transition, and the semiconductor metals the AI build-out actually runs on.

Who we serve
A mining deal only closes when all four are satisfied at once. Everything we are building serves one of them.
Orebodies and offtake, priced by people who intend to trade the output. Mines, refineries and processors looking for a buyer, a co-investor, or an outright sale. We are building the screening, the directory, and the introductions a transaction actually needs — capital on one side, government on the other. Introductions go through the principal. Agents do not contact anyone on a user’s behalf without approval.
Exposure to physical metal and to the projects that produce it — when, and only when, counsel says the product can open. The investor book is closed. No allocation, no subscription, no funds accepted. See Invest.
Mining transactions fail on approvals more often than on price. The house is being built to sit in that room, not to talk around it.
Concentrate, cathode, ingot, powder, sponge. Specified metal, not a ticker. Enquiries are read in Singapore. A firm offer, when we are licensed to make one, comes back against specification, quantity and delivery point.
Not a quotation or an offer to trade.
The assay
A tonne of copper concentrate is not a number on a screen. It is drilled, blasted, hauled up a ramp on a truck the size of a house, crushed, floated, dried, shipped nine thousand kilometres and smelted before anyone can call it metal.
That is the distance ALVIE is built to sit across: acquire mining assets and place them with the owners who can develop them, contract at the mine gate, charter the tonnage, manage the assay disputes on discharge, and settle in the market that finally puts a figure on it. Vendors, capital and governments at the same table. We set it — when we are licensed to.
Thirty-two metals on the intended book. One principal. No licensed trading book yet.

The book
Four categories, thirty-two metals. Each line will have its own logistics and its own reason to exist. None of them is a live ALVIE quote.
Public snapshots from Kitco / gold-api / Westmetall / delayed COMEX where present. Not ALVIE quotations. Assessments marked assessment. Dead series tagged. No ALVIE volume.
The reserve asset of the book we intend to run. Refined bullion and dore, between accredited refiners, vaults and central-bank counterparties.
Half precious metal, half industrial input. Among the more volatile lines on the intended book.
The electrification trade. Every grid upgrade, data centre and EV platform is a copper order.
The largest intended tonnage by an order of magnitude, contracted against index-linked pricing — when there is a book.
Energy in solid form, at roughly 14 MWh a tonne. Priced against power curves as much as metal curves.
A corrosion trade. Most of the world’s zinc still galvanises steel that has to survive outdoors.
Fertiliser feedstock and acid. Not glamorous. The plant does not run without it.
Calcined petroleum coke and needle coke. The anode and the electrode.
Thermal and metallurgical. On the intended book with a hard rule: no new thermal agreements. Metallurgical coal is a steel input, not a slogan.
Battery-grade carbonate and hydroxide. Chemistry first, then the tonne.
Cut cathode, briquette, sulphate. A battery metal with a concentration-of-supply problem.
Class 1 briquette, MHP, matte. Stainless still takes most of it; batteries take the argument.
Flake concentrate and spherical coated. Anode, not a pencil.
High-purity sulphate and electrolytic metal. Steel and the sulphate battery chain.
NdPr oxide, separated Dy and Tb. Magnets, not a basket ticker.
APT, powder, carbide. Density, heat, and cutting tools — including the ones that cut wafers.
Oxide briquette, ferromoly, sputtering target. Steel strength and a thin-film line.
Primary gallium ingot, 7N. Compound semiconductors.
Zone-refined metal, GeO2, GeCl4. Fibre and IR.
Refined ingot, ITO target. Displays and a thin solar chain.
Ta2O5 and capacitor-grade powder. Conflict-mineral rules are not optional copy.
Ferroniobium and high-purity oxide. Pipeline steel and superconductors.
Sponge, ingot, 99.95%. Auto-catalyst and electronics.
Sponge, ingot, 99.95%. Catalyst, glass, and the hydrogen story that still needs ounces.
Sponge, sputtering target. Small ounces, hard to replace in some recipes.
Sponge, crucible stock. The metal the PEM electrolyser argument actually consumes.
4N and 5N Al2O3 powder. Synthetic sapphire and lithium-ion separators.
Refined metal, 4N. A copper-anode slime with a solar bid.
Ingot, trioxide. Flame retardant, and a metal on export-control lists.
Ingot, 99.99%. The non-lead that still behaves like a minor metal.
99.9% ingot and alloy. Structural light metal with a power-hungry plant.
99.97% ingot. Unfashionable, specified, still in the battery that starts the car.
Traditional: precious, base and bulk — the tonnage that funds everything else. Energy: batteries, magnets, power. AI / Semiconductor: compute, power electronics, high-purity process kit. Critical: export controls, substitution risk, strategic lists. Full specifications on the book.
The network
Four planned nodes. Not staffed offices. Not live trade routes. Not weighted by tonnage we have shipped. Intended nodes. No live cargo on these lines.
Asia-Pacific trading and physical settlement, as intended. The principal is here. Follows the Shanghai open as coverage intent, not as a 24-hour human desk.
Precious metals treasury and allocated vault relationships, as intended.
European base metals, LME warehousing and CIF settlement, as intended.
Middle East sulphur and fertiliser feedstock origination, as intended.
Investor access
The investor programme is designed to place capital alongside a physical book — against warehoused metal and contracted cargoes, not a synthetic index.
It is not open. There is no allocation. There is no ticket size. There is no metal in an ALVIE vault. There is no performance record.
Not an offer of securities. Not a solicitation. ALVIE is not licensed to take investor money.
The desk
Physical purchase or offtake. Directory if you need a record. Enquiries are read in Singapore. Agents draft; the principal answers.
