Trade Financing

Mineral Trade Financing -
How We Make Transactions Bankable

African mineral transactions frequently fail not because of bad assets or unwilling buyers - but because the payment and financing mechanisms are not properly structured. We solve this through three core trade finance capabilities, executed with our banking and financial partners.

Whether you are a buyer seeking payment security, a seller seeking pre-export financing, or an investor seeking to deploy capital into a specific asset - we structure the financial architecture that makes the transaction close.

Pre-Export Finance Facilitation

We connect verified African operators with institutions providing pre-export finance against confirmed purchase orders. Our due diligence makes them bankable.

How it works - step by step
  1. 01Operator verification & title confirmation
  2. 02Purchase order or off-take agreement in place
  3. 03Finance institution introduction
  4. 04Escrow structure and drawdown schedule
  5. 05Shipment and repayment monitoring

All trade finance arrangements are structured with Hasnihl as the neutral facilitating party - we represent neither buyer nor seller exclusively.
