From the first contact to discussing the recycling terms, to processing and sampling, through to precious metal analysis and final payment, you can expect nothing short of platinum class customer service at every step of the way.
We combine recycling service, market expertise, hedging and other financial instruments to offer customers with stress-free one-stop service for spent asset and precious metal recovery.
Patented Sampling System for Best Possible Returns
Considering the high prices of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), a proven sampling process is critical for minimising loss and attaining accurate value assessment. Our Engineering Team has developed an automated sampling system that is proven to process spent catalytic converters with greater efficiency, faster speed and lesser wastage than conventional bulk sampling systems. This system received 4 patents from the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) of the People’s Republic of China, attesting our commitment to delivering the best returns for our customers’ scrap catalytic converters.
We have in place a rigorous Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for our sampling process to ensure all catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters and other PGM scraps are processed, sampled and analyzed with the highest levels of care and transparency.
For gold and silver secondary materials, we have also set up an equally stringent set of processes for analysis and recovery.
We strongly encourage all our customers to visit our facility and witness the processing and analysis of their catalytic converters and precious metals scraps. The entire sampling process is also fully documented and samples are also available for independent analysis upon request.
Strategic Collaboration with World’s Leading Refineries
BR Metals works with some of the world’s leading PGM refineries. We select the most efficient one based on our analysis results so that you get the best possible returns for your materials.
Precise Analysis for Your Spent Catalytic Converters & Precious Metals Scraps
For value-based settlement, the analysis stage is where the quantity and value of precious metals like Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium in spent catalytic converters and other scraps are determined.
Our analysis laboratories in Guangzhou and Singapore are equipped to provide precise PGM analysis that is key to transparent value assessment. Our teams of chemical specialists and technicians have both the professional expertise and hands-on knowledge to perform both XRF and ICP-OES assay analysis of catalytic converters and other precious metals scraps by both XRF. In fact, we developed a proprietary Standard Based Function Point Analysis (FPA) method to determine the precious metals content using XRF technology with better cost efficiency and speed.
To ensure our assay methodology continues to meet the most stringent international standards, our chemists frequently participate in international Round Robin tests, where our assay results consistently match up with top refineries and internationally renowned analytic laboratories. This means you can depend on us to provide precise and reliable assay of your precious metal scraps with total peace of mind.

Flexible Financing Options & Risk Management
For toll refining service or value-based settlement (Model B), BR Metals offers flexible financing options at attractive interest rates so that our customers can maintain or even increase their buying capacity while waiting for the final out turn of their metals. Down payments upon delivery and other financial assistance can also be arranged for long-term customers.
To minimise the risk from fluctuating precious metals prices, we offer hedging service to “lock in” prices of metals at the optimal daily rates or sell these metals on a fixed date later on. By “fixing” the metal prices, our customers can better manage their cash flow and even increase their earnings.
Our dedicated precious metals management team is also on hand to provide timely market information and professional trading advice. When you work with us, we take ownership of your growth and success.
