We bridge the gap between Canadian and Australian mineral producers and Indian manufacturers — facilitating trade in nickel, cobalt, lithium, and other critical metals that power the energy transition.
Nexum Metals is a Canadian-registered critical minerals trading company operating the Canada-India and Australia-India corridors. We connect junior miners who have product with manufacturers who need supply — facilitating every step from sourcing to shipment.
Founded in the wake of the March 2026 Canada-India Critical Minerals MoU, we are building the trade infrastructure for a corridor that both governments have prioritized but no private-sector intermediary currently serves.
Our model is simple: we source from Canadian and Australian producers, match with qualified Indian buyers, and earn a commission on every trade. No inventory risk. No speculation. Just precise matchmaking between supply and demand.
We specialize in the minerals that power electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, defence technologies, and advanced manufacturing.
Class 1 refined nickel and nickel concentrates for stainless steel production and EV battery cathodes. Sourced from Ontario, Quebec, and Western Australia.
Cobalt concentrates, hydroxide, and cathode-grade compounds for battery manufacturing, superalloys, and catalysts. ESG-certified Canadian and Australian supply.
Spodumene concentrate, lithium carbonate, and lithium hydroxide for EV battery production. Hard-rock sources from Ontario, Quebec, and Western Australia.
Copper concentrates and cathodes for electrical infrastructure, EV motors, renewable energy systems, and industrial manufacturing.
Natural flake graphite and battery-grade spherical graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes. Non-Chinese supply for diversified sourcing.
Neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium for permanent magnets in EV motors and wind turbines. Sourced from emerging Canadian and Australian projects.
We manage the entire trade lifecycle so our clients can focus on their core business.
We identify and qualify Canadian and Australian mineral producers that match your exact specifications — grade, volume, frequency, and ESG requirements.
We verify Indian manufacturers' requirements, payment capability, and LC readiness before facilitating any introduction — ensuring every match is commercially viable.
We facilitate pricing based on LME references, current market conditions, and landed-cost analysis — ensuring both parties achieve fair commercial outcomes.
Letters of credit, certificates of analysis, certificates of origin, bills of lading — we coordinate the complete documentation stack for every shipment.
Mine to port, port to port, port to factory. We coordinate freight forwarding, independent quality inspection, and customs clearance across the corridor.
Real-time pricing data, supply-demand analysis, and corridor-specific insights that help our clients make informed sourcing and selling decisions.
