NordRock TraceChain | Live
TraceChain is NordRock's own traceability platform. Every participant is verified, every batch is recorded and every record can be audited.
The problem
A parcel of tin can pass from a miner to a local buyer, an aggregator, a processor and an exporter before it leaves Nigeria. At each step, paperwork is copied, lost or rewritten. By the time it reaches a smelter, nobody can say for certain where it came from.

What it does
Inside NordRock TraceChain.
- 01
Verified participant registry
Miners, aggregators, processing centres, assay labs, transporters, freight and security providers register and are approved by inspectors. Each receives a unique Nexus ID.
- 02
Trace ID for every batch
Each batch is tagged at source with a unique Trace ID recording mineral type, weight, grade, location and quality certificates.
- 03
Tamper-evident ledger
Every event is hashed and chained to the one before it, so any change to the history shows immediately.
- 04
Role-based dashboards
Each participant sees and records only what their role requires, while NordRock sees live supply across the network.
- 05
View-only verification
Buyers, investors and government verifiers can confirm a batch's origin and chain of custody without editing rights.
- 06
Certificates and reports
Digital certificates of origin for exported batches, plus ESG, trade and origin reports for regulators and partners.
