Not Knowing the True Value of Their Material
One of the biggest mistakes is walking into a deal without knowing the grade, purity, or composition of the mineral you’re selling. This puts all the power in the buyer’s hands—and often leads to a lower price.

âś… The Solution:
Always insist on independent or in-house lab testing before selling. At Hego Trading, we conduct scientific, transparent tests in our own lab so sellers know the true value of their commodity—before agreeing to a price.

Dealing with Unverified Buyers or Middlemen
New sellers often fall into the trap of working with unverified buyers or third-party agents promising big deals. These intermediaries can be unreliable—or worse, dishonest.

âś… The Solution:
Work with a registered, experienced, and traceable company like Hego Trading. We’re licensed, well-known in the industry, and operate from a physical location in Pretoria—so you always know where your material is going and who’s handling it.
