The Group

North Slope Resources trades strategic commodities across global markets — anchored in term supply commitments with producers, allocation holders, and end-users, complemented by tactical spot execution across traditional energy and next-generation resource markets.

About North Slope Resources

Who We Are

North Slope Resources, LLC trades strategic commodities across global markets — crude oil and refined products, natural gas, sugar, and lithium and critical minerals. The group’s core business has been developed by establishing long-term relationships with producers, allocation holders, and end-users, ensuring secure, continual supplies across our target sectors.

Our expertise lies in structuring standing supply agreements, offtake contracts, and opportunistic spot trades — providing flexible commercial solutions to producers seeking reliable market access, and to clientele requiring assured supply across demanding logistics and pricing windows. The group aggressively seeks new partnerships and sources to supply the demands of an increasing clientele across traditional energy and next-generation resource markets.

Looking to the Future

The Group’s Trajectory

North Slope Resources is actively expanding its standing supply position across critical minerals and next-generation energy markets, with new producer agreements in negotiation across emerging production regions. The group is evaluating expansion of its commercial footprint beyond its Anchorage base, with trading desk capacity scaling to meet the demands of an increasing clientele.

The group’s long-term strategy is to deepen vertical relationships across the resource cycle — from production to delivery — building a balanced trading position diversified by commodity, geography, and contract structure.
