Tennant Africa produces and trades antimony, tungsten and tin — controlling the chain from African ore bodies through smelting to finished, commercial-grade metal.
We are an integrated producer and merchant of strategic minerals, operating where geology, processing capability and global demand converge.
Our focus is narrow by design — antimony, tungsten and tin — metals defined as critical to modern industry and increasingly contested across global supply chains.
From mining and hydrometallurgical processing in Zimbabwe to trading and settlement across seven jurisdictions, the business is built to move material reliably from origin to end user.
Physical control at origin. Commercial reach in the world's established trading centres.
Of 118 known elements, our work concentrates on three — chosen for their strategic scarcity and industrial necessity.
Produced to 99.7% commercial grade. Flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, alloys and defence.
The hardest refractory metal. Carbide tooling, hard alloys, electronics and aerospace.
A soft, corrosion-resistant metal. Solder, tinplate coatings, bronze and pewter alloys.
