Suppliers and EPCs that rely on AMIQ intelligence






The portfolio
Glencore Xstrata runs large, long-life assets across several of the continent's major minerals. AMIQ follows each one through its development phases, the long-run capital work that keeps procurement flowing to suppliers.
A core part of Glencore Xstrata's African exposure, and one of the minerals the group has long produced on the continent.
Base-metal mining sits at the heart of the portfolio, with copper among the commodities tracked on AMIQ.
Nickel forms part of a relationship in base metals and cobalt that predates the 2013 merger.
Zinc rounds out the group's base-metal presence across its African operations.
Iron ore features among the bulk commodities in the group's tracked African project set.
Platinum group metals extend the portfolio's reach across the continent's major minerals.
The supplier edge
A diversified miner buys differently across coal, base metals and PGMs. These are the four answers that let a supplier aim at the right asset before a brief goes public.
All 25 tracked projects are mapped by mineral and by stage, from early study to producing mine, so you can read which assets are advancing and time your approach to them.
Each asset is placed within the wider group and the local operating entity, telling you precisely where a vendor relationship is worth building.
The consultants and EPCs already appointed to a project are listed, because those firms compile the vendor lists and route packages onward to suppliers.
Current, checked contacts for the decision-makers who sign off procurement, unlocked as soon as a subscription is active.

Company profile
Glencore Xstrata was formed when Glencore and Xstrata merged in May 2013, formalising a long-standing relationship that already spanned ferroalloys, coal, nickel and cobalt. The combination brought together two major forces in global mining and commodity trading.
Across Africa, the group runs a diversified portfolio that reaches the continent's major minerals, from coal and base metals such as copper, nickel and zinc through to iron ore and platinum group metals. These are large, long-life operations, the kind that keep procurement open to suppliers over many years.
Africa Mining IQ follows 25 Glencore Xstrata assets across Africa, each carrying its own checked decision-maker contacts. Those assets range from bankable and feasibility studies up to producing mines, exactly the long-cycle spending a supplier wants to be early on. The picture connects to the wider field of coal mining in South Africa and the broader landscape of mining companies in South Africa.
Project phases, the group and operating-entity structure, and named buyer contacts for all 25 assets, held behind a single AMIQ subscription.

On a diversified miner, supply opportunities open long before a tender appears. Knowing which asset is advancing, the mineral it sits under and the consultant holding the appointment lets you register early with the entity that actually places orders. AMIQ pairs each of those signals with the buyer contacts held behind the subscription.
Every one of the 25 assets carries its phase and timeline, its place in the group and local operating entity, the appointed consultants and EPCs, and the named buyer contacts opened to subscribers. Capital values are held as gated platform data.
