Frequently Asked Questions

OCRE is an institutional-grade B2B platform designed for the physical origination, clearing, and settlement of critical minerals and industrial commodities from the Western Hemisphere. We are not a derivatives exchange — all transactions are proposed to be physically settled with verified chain of custody.

Rare earth elements (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb, Ce, La, Sm, Gd, Tm), thorium, niobium, tantalum, columbite ore, cassiterite, ilmenite, copper, aluminum, iron (HBI), tin, titanium, vanadium, gallium, scandium, and heavy energy products (Merey crude).

OCRE is designed exclusively for institutional participants — commodity trading houses, industrial procurement departments, sovereign wealth funds, defense primes, and Eligible Contract Participants (ECPs) under U.S. law. Individual retail investors are not accepted.

All transactions on OCRE are proposed to be physically settled. Material is inspected at origin by independent Tier-1 auditors, stored in bonded vaults with IoT monitoring, and delivered against authenticated warrants. Every movement is tracked on distributed ledger for full traceability.

GLOFICA is our proprietary distributed ledger technology providing post-quantum secured traceability for all commodity movements, warrant issuance, and settlement records. It ensures immutable chain of custody from deposit to final delivery.

Every counterparty is screened in real time against OFAC SDN/SSI lists, EU consolidated sanctions, and UN Security Council sanctions. OCRE operates as a compliance-first platform — no transaction executes without full KYC/AML verification.

Spot Market — physical warrants for immediate settlement. Forward Origination — bilateral contracts for future delivery with margin requirements. Venture Board — structured participation in exploration and development projects via OCRE Venture Structuration.

Corporate headquarters in Miami, FL. Physical operations hub in Puerto Ordaz, Bolívar State, Venezuela — at the center of the Guayana industrial region with access to HBI facilities, mineral deposits, and Orinoco River deepwater logistics.
