Why verification matters in the mineral trade

Anonymous marketplaces hide risk. Here's how verified identity, organisation checks and trading history create a safer place to do business.

By Lithos

Anonymous listings hide the one thing that matters most in this trade: who you are dealing with.

Lithos verifies the organisation behind every account — legal identity, position in the supply chain, and trading history. That verification is what turns a listing into a commercial conversation worth having.

What we check

  • Legal entity and business domain
  • Declared position in the chain, from mine to collector
  • Evidence of trading activity and references

Verification is not a badge. It is the precondition for introductions.
