From pit to smelter we provide traceability built on vetted mines, on-chain passports, and evidence that stands up to Europe's toughest regulations.
We provide diligent onboarding and risk management, and enable documentation and data management for every step. All fit for trades, audits and due diligence procedures.
It starts with the mine, and it stays with the material. One platform, two services that build on each other.
Before a mine can issue anything, it clears an elaborate review — company, ownership, licences, ESG, assays and the site itself — scored against OECD standards, among others. Fossensis performs risk assessment and offers technical assistance for any next steps.
One passport, recording every real event from pit to smelter. Origin, compliance and documents are scored — so a buyer can review it in a single look, including timelines, timestamps and actors involved.
Follow one example journey: a passport tracing a lot of ore from a vetted pit in Nigeria to a smelter in Europe — every layer a recorded, cross-checked event. The same chain holds for any critical mineral, and a passport can carry one lot or many.
The passport can only be opened by a mine that already cleared onboarding. Origin is captured at the pit — not reconstructed at the export shed.
A production assay opens a running quality record — later challenged by the buyer's own lab at discharge, and an umpire lab if they disagree.
At export, weight and piece count are checked against the manifest. A mismatch isn't hidden — it surfaces as a flag on the passport.
Seals, tags and container numbers recorded at one event must match the next. The chain is only as strong as its continuity — so we check it.
At the border, importer and commodity codes are validated against live EU registries — the evidence a buyer needs for their own due diligence.
At Rotterdam, the buyer's lab confirms the grade. Because every claim is on the record, a dispute has a clear, neutral path to resolution.
When the smelter consumes the lot, the passport retires — leaving a full, tamper-evident trail an auditor, buyer or bank can rely on.
A Fossensis passport isn't a folder to read through. It's an assessment you can act on — with the full evidence one click beneath it.
Each score traces to a document, an identifier match or a registry check — never an assumption.
Missing, expired or non-reconciling evidence lowers the score and is flagged — honestly, not hidden.
Built on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, our material passports can be configured to support the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation, the EU Battery Regulation and RMI's CMRT/EMRT reporting.
Everyone works from one passport — but each of them needs something different from it. Pick a seat to see what Fossensis does for you.
Whether you produce, trade, buy, finance or audit critical minerals — we'd like to show you what a Fossensis passport looks like on your material.
