Larger or higher-risk deals get a human review first
For bulk volumes, high-value lots and regulated materials such as precious-metal concentrates, Lithos reviews the enquiry privately before anything else happens. We do not guarantee a match, a timeline or an outcome.
Step 1
Tell us privately
Post what you need or can supply. Larger or sensitive enquiries are kept private and are not published.
Step 2
Human review
We check who you are and your authority to act, ownership, sanctions screening, provenance, and any sample or assay you can provide.
Step 3
Permits and terms
Transport, waste and export requirements are flagged. Any seller mandate and introducer fee must be agreed in writing first.
Step 4
Introduction, if appropriate
Only once both businesses are verified and the review is complete may we propose an introduction. Many enquiries will not reach this stage.
What Lithos is — and is not
- Lithos acts as an introducer. We are not the seller or buyer of any material.
- We do not hold goods, payments or documents in escrow or custody.
- No fee is charged automatically. Any introducer fee applies only if agreed in a written contract.
- No payment is taken on Lithos today.
- These terms are subject to legal review and may change before this service is formally offered.
