Copper

Vale & Ore Strategic Metals Portfolio

Vale & Ore sources and supplies copper ore and concentrates from the mineral-rich zones of Balochistan, Pakistan.

With copper in increasing global demand for energy infrastructure, electric vehicles, and electronics, Pakistan's reserves offer a competitive and underexploited supply chain for both regional smelters and international commodity buyers.

These zones host porphyry-type copper mineralization, primarily in the form of chalcopyrite, bornite, and malachite, embedded in intrusive and volcanic rocks.

Copper Ore Specifications:
(Grades vary based on source and screening)

Cu Content: 10–25% (raw ore)
30–35% (concentrate)

Fe Content: 5–15%

Mo & Au traces: May be present depending on the source

Global Demand Positioning
Copper remains at the heart of the global transition to clean energy, electric mobility, and digital infrastructure. With the global copper supply under pressure due to depleting ore grades and geopolitical constraints, Pakistan’s copper fields — particularly Reko Diq and Saindak — are considered globally strategic.

Vale & Ore offers buyers:

Traceable origin copper ore
Scalable volume contracts
Direct port delivery and FOB terms
Flexible sourcing agreements through mine-level partnerships
