Responsible extraction
Low-impact pit design, water recirculation and progressive rehabilitation of worked ground. We plan closure before we plan production.
ABOUT KWE METALS LLC
Metal extraction for a greener tomorrow.
KWE Metals LLC is a mining and metals trading company headquartered in Hamburg, New York, working copper, iron ore, cobalt, nickel, gold, silver, antimony and precious stones from concessions in Honduras and other Central American countries. We mine, sort and ship material ourselves, and we sell it directly to industrial buyers, refiners and investors — with the assay, the benchmark and the freight cost all on the table.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Four commitments, applied to every lot
Traceable material
Every lot carries assay documentation, weight tickets and a KWE consignment code that buyers can follow from pit to port to delivery.
Transparent pricing
Offers are built on published COMEX and LBMA benchmarks with payable percentages, freight and markup shown line by line — never a black-box number.
Local partnership
Concession communities in Honduras share in employment, training and infrastructure work through our community programmes.
