West African metals. Global markets. Institutional discipline.
Terralix connects West African producers and manufacturers with physical metals trading, structured market intelligence and disciplined commodity exposure support.
Commodity prices are visible. The commercial implications are harder to interpret — and unmanaged exposure can make margins more difficult to plan and protect.

Many West African producers and manufacturers manage globally priced commodity and foreign-exchange exposure without a dedicated institutional decision framework.

A West African metals trading, market intelligence and commodity risk-management business
Bringing structure to pricing and exposure decisions through documented analysis informed by physical-market participation and global market data.
01
Physical-market participation informs our work
Terralix's physical-market experience provides practical context for its research and exposure analysis. Recommendations are developed around each client's commercial cycle, objectives and risk parameters; they should not be understood as mirroring Terralix's proprietary positions.
Daily, weekly and monthly research formats built around Terralix's Zinc-first financial-market development. Broader metals coverage will be introduced only as each capability is validated.
Terralix is designed around the commercial realities of West African producers and manufacturers while remaining connected to global commodity pricing and counterparties.
Actionable Intelligence
Our research combines structured market analysis with physical-market context to support procurement, production and pricing decisions.
Disciplined Separation
Client exposure, commercial objectives and risk parameters are assessed independently from Terralix's proprietary trading activity.
Institutional Ambition
We are building a focused regional platform grounded in documented processes, disciplined execution and evidence-based growth.

Zinc · Primary Market — Financial Development Focus
The metal that keeps the world from rusting
Zinc pricing is influenced by galvanising demand, smelter output, exchange inventories, steel and infrastructure activity, and mine supply. Terralix tracks these factors within its initial financial-market development focus.
GradesSHG (99.995%) & GOB (98.5%) — refined metal supplied against agreed contractual specifications, assay documentation and LME-referenced pricing where applicable

Risk Management & Hedging
For Producers & Recyclers
Support for output-price decisions
For producers and recyclers, Terralix maps production volumes, cost considerations and pricing windows to support a structured output-price risk programme.
For Manufacturers & Buyers
Support for input-cost decisions
For manufacturers and buyers, Terralix maps procurement timing, metal-price exposure and foreign-exchange sensitivity to support more disciplined input-cost decisions.
Available structures, execution arrangements and risk parameters depend on the client, market conditions, liquidity, jurisdiction and authorised counterparties. Hedging can reduce certain risks but does not eliminate basis, liquidity, execution, FX, credit or counterparty risk.
Strategic Price Management
SPM
Every pricing decision takes place within a commercial and market cycle. Strategic Price Management brings structure, intelligence and defined review points to that decision.
For Manufacturers
A documented process for procurement timing
Structured intelligence applied to the timing of procurement decisions — replacing reactive same-day buying with a documented process linked to your production cycle. No particular pricing outcome is guaranteed.
For Producers
A documented process for output-price timing
A framework for evaluating pricing windows against your production cost base and cycle — designed to support more disciplined output-price decisions, not to guarantee a specific price.
The objective is not to call the exact top or bottom of the market. It is to replace reactive same-day decisions with a documented process linked to the client's commercial requirements. Outcomes depend on market conditions, timing, execution, basis, liquidity, foreign-exchange and counterparty risk.

Terralix serves two principal commercial groups — businesses that buy metals for manufacturing and businesses that produce metals for sale. Their exposures differ, so each engagement begins with the relevant commercial cycle and decision requirements.
Manufacturer & Industrial Buyer Profile
01 02
For many industrial buyers, a material input cost is linked to a global market outside their control. A structured process can clarify the timing, volume and risk implications of procurement decisions.
LME
Global metal-price exposure referenced to international markets
FX
US-dollar and Naira exposure layered on top of metal-price risk
Procurement
Timing and volume decisions linked to the operating cycle
Ongoing
Continuous monitoring and review — global commodity markets move continuously
The Scale of the Problem
01
Commodity procurement exposure can be significant relative to a manufacturer's operating margin. Mapping the exposure creates a clearer basis for pricing, procurement and risk decisions.
The Core Problem
Understanding price exposure
Base-metals prices can move materially over a commercial cycle. For a manufacturer processing significant volumes, the financial implications of that volatility can also be material. Structured analysis helps make the relevant assumptions, benchmarks and decision points explicit.
The Naira Dimension
Two connected exposures
LME base-metal reference prices are commonly quoted in US dollars. If the Naira weakens while the relevant metal price rises, a Nigerian manufacturer may face simultaneous pressure from the metal price and the exchange rate.
Producer, Smelter & Recycler Profile
02 02
You built the plant. You carry the cost. Don't let the market take the margin. Your production costs are fixed. Your selling price is not — unless you have a strategy.
LME
International reference pricing may apply under agreed sales terms
Volatility
Base metals prices can move materially over a production cycle
Fixed
Your production costs — energy, labour, logistics, plant — regardless of output price
Variable
Selling-price exposure linked to a market the producer does not control
Illustrative Context
02
An aluminium producer can use a structured exposure assessment to map production costs, expected output, pricing windows and currency sensitivity before considering any risk-management programme. Terralix's aluminium intelligence coverage remains in development.
Value in Practice
An illustrative West African aluminium producer scenario
Illustrative scenario only. It does not represent actual or guaranteed Terralix client performance.
The Producer's Reality
Fixed costs, variable price
Energy, processing, logistics and plant costs can remain relatively stable while LME-referenced aluminium prices vary. Exposure mapping clarifies how that relationship affects commercial margin.
Without a Structured Process
Pricing at the available market
If prices fall after production begins, the producer may face a lower selling price against an established cost base. The resulting margin depends on the actual price, cost and contract terms.
With a Structured Process
Defined pricing decision points
Market intelligence and exposure mapping can support evaluation of whether and when to use an agreed pricing or hedging mechanism. Outcomes depend on market conditions, execution and the selected structure; no specific result is guaranteed.
The Principle
The margin your plant was built to generate deserves a documented decision process
Outcomes depend on market conditions, timing, execution, basis, liquidity, foreign-exchange and counterparty risk. No particular pricing or financial outcome is guaranteed. The objective is disciplined decision-making, not prediction of exact market highs or lows.

Why Physical Trading Matters
01
Commercial Context
Physical-market participation adds practical context on sourcing, quality, logistics, financing and settlement to the interpretation of public market data.
02
Process Discipline
Market views and physical-trade decisions are documented against defined assumptions, responsibilities and risk parameters.
