A fair deal for independent operators

We buy your raw sand, so your operation keeps moving.

You dig it, we buy it.

Across Madagascar and Africa, independent operators are sitting on world-class mineral sands with no easy route to market. If your site can reach 50% zircon-rich Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) or better, Midwest Aggregate Holdings buys your wet, raw concentrate straight off the pit and handles the hard, expensive refining. No second plant. No chasing 66%. Just a buyer who turns up.

Midwest Aggregate Holdings is a procurement and technology provider, not a bank, broker-dealer, insurer, or financial services provider. All procurement is conducted privately, business to business, with licensed operators.

Why operators come to us

Ship raw. Skip the second plant.

The second processing plant is what sends good operations broke — the cost, the debt, the years of waiting. Working with us, you skip it. You ship raw and start earning sooner, so your crew stays on and the site keeps moving.

01

No second plant to build

You skip the multi-million-dollar Phase 2 build and the regulatory wait it takes to chase 66% retail grade. We take the concentrate raw, as it comes.

02

Money coming in sooner

Keep it to a simple Phase 1 wet concentrator and you can be moving dirt and shipping in months, not years — so the cash starts flowing while it still matters.

03

We look after the safety side

Every job runs on Acrisure Safety, powered by Ranes — free to you — helping keep your people safe and your insurance and paperwork down.

Helping you get going

Cash up front, so you can get moving

Getting a mine moving takes cash up front, and that's often the bit that stops good operations cold. So we help — as your buyer. For licensed operations we work with, Midwest Aggregate Holdings can pay you upfront for product you'll deliver, settling part of the value of your sand before it ships, so you can get earthmoving started, gear on site, and the first load out the gate. It's early payment for what we're buying, not a loan.

01

Paid before you ship

We pay part of the value of your concentrate upfront against a confirmed offtake, with the balance settled on delivered tonnage.

02

Outright purchase

We buy your raw concentrate outright at the pit gate, taking the market and logistics risk off your plate.

03

Set against your schedule

Payment sized to your verified production plan and agreed delivery schedule, so it tracks what you actually ship.

These are commercial purchase terms between buyer and seller — payment for physical product we agree to buy, not loans, credit, securities, or investment products. Every arrangement is subject to physical asset-title verification, private B2B agreement, and formal legal execution by corporate counsel.
