Metals, minerals & scrap from Cameroon — documented at every step.
BV Metal and Minerals is the export subsidiary of BV Holdings PLC for gold, bauxite, iron ore, copper cathode and graded scrap. We sell against specification, verify by independent assay, and ship with a complete document trail.

Every claim below is something a buyer can ask us to evidence. If we cannot document it, we do not publish it.
Group-backed
A subsidiary of BV Holdings PLC, with legal, finance and compliance functions consolidated at group level and group logistics support through Douala and Kribi.
Documented sourcing
Each lot is linked to its source, transport and custody records before it is offered. No paperwork, no offer.
Compliance process
Know-your-counterparty checks on suppliers and buyers, sanctions screening and settlement through regulated banking channels only.
Export discipline
Defined Incoterms (FOB, CFR, CIF), pre-shipment inspection and a fixed document pack for every consignment.
Traceability is not a footnote here. It is the product.
Buyers of gold and base metals carry the risk of conflict sourcing, money-laundering exposure and undocumented supply. Our due-diligence process is built to remove that risk before a contract is signed — and to prove it afterwards.
