How Egypt Globe Group fits the mining ecosystem
Egypt Globe Group is a trading + logistics group, not a primary miner. We:
QA and reliability
Egypt Globe Group positions itself as your verified, long-term supply-chain ally: incorporated 2014 with an internal Quality Assurance division at its nucleus, ISO 9001:2015 across all divisions, and uncompromising QA verification from extraction to destination port. Every lot is tested at the loading-port laboratory and the Certificate of Analysis or Mill Test Certificate is issued before the Bill of Lading; lots outside specification are rejected at the loading port, never re-graded or renegotiated. Independent inspection by TÜV Austria, SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas (all ISO/IEC 17020 + 17025) is available on every shipment, laycans are run with documented NOR / SOF, and the specification is guaranteed at the port of loading under the sales contract — see inspection & quality control, trade documentation and quality & compliance. For third-party minerals traded from Egyptian quarries the same discipline applies: quarry-face assay, port-laboratory XRF or wet-chemistry confirmation per lot, independent draft survey and witness sampling, and rejection at the loading port of any lot outside the assay window.
