A mineral is only as valuable as the trust behind its supply chain. Corvex Logistics Doctrine

Our Story

Uganda's most complete mineral logistics and trading partner.

Corvex Logistics is a Ugandan-owned company licensed by the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines (DGSM) and ITSCI-certified, specialising in mineral transportation, bonded storage, compliance documentation, and cross-border supply chain management across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC, South Sudan, Sudan, and Ethiopia.

Our mission is to provide secure, compliant, and efficient mineral logistics that connect Africa's resources to global markets. Our vision is to become the leading mineral logistics and supply chain company in East Africa. Both are built on one foundation,doing what we say we will do, every time.

Corvex Logistics was founded in Kampala in 2021 by a team of Ugandan logistics professionals who had spent years watching Uganda's mineral wealth leave through middlemen, off-record, and below international price. We started with one licensed truck, one DGSM permit, and one principle: every consignment leaves with a full paper trail or it doesn't leave at all. Five years and 18,000+ tonnes later, that principle remains the only one we operate by.

Reliability

98% on-time delivery across 5+ years of operations. When we commit to a schedule, we build the route around it and not the other way around.

Client Voices

What our clients say.

★★★★★

"We were losing two weeks per shipment to documentation delays. Corvex Logistics took over our export logistics and we now clear DGSM in 3 days. That alone saves us $4,000 per consignment in holding costs."

Robert K.

Director, ASM Aggregation Co. — Busia

★★★★★

"As a Dubai-based refinery, finding a Uganda supply partner with proper ITSCI documentation was nearly impossible. Corvex Logistics delivers consignments that pass our due diligence audit every single time."

Ahmed S.

Procurement Manager — Gulf Refinery, Dubai

★★★★★

"Before Corvex Logistics I sold to local middlemen at 30% below spot. Now Corvex Logistics buys directly at LME reference price and pays within the week. My income has tripled since we started working together."

James M.

Artisanal Gold Producer — Mubende District

★★★★★

"We run a monthly coltan supply programme through Corvex Logistics into our Antwerp smelter. The ITSCI documentation they provide slots directly into our OECD compliance report without any rework. That level of preparation is genuinely rare in this corridor."
