Our Commodities

We focus on the supply of Anthracite, Thermal coal, Ores and other Reductants.

ANTHRACITE

Anthracite is a scarce, clean-burning carbon source used in energy, ferro alloys, and steel. Its high carbon content, low volatility, and strong calorific value make it a cost-effective reductant with global demand of roughly 200 million tons annually.

We supply anthracite from South Africa, Peru and the US. We opened Japan, the UK, Europe and the US to new South African and Eswatini origins, imported Peruvian anthracite into South Africa, and first exported Middle Eastern anthracite to Europe.

SIZED COAL

Sized coal offers consistent combustion, stable quality, and predictable performance, making it suitable for boilers, foundries, and general heating. Its reliability, ease of handling, and uniform sizing help improve efficiency and reduce waste across multiple industries.

We supply a range of sized coal grades tailored to energy, industrial, and metallurgical applications.

THERMAL COAL

Thermal coal is mainly used in energy, steel and industrial industries. We supply standard grades of thermal coal from RB1 to RB4. We specialise in the supply of sized thermal coal and off spec grades of thermal coal.

We supply various grades of thermal coal from South and eastern Africa.

CLINKER

Clinker is a key ingredient used in the production of cement and is formed by heating limestone and minerals to create the nodules later ground into cement. Its composition shapes cement strength and performance, making clinker a key commodity supporting Africa’s growing construction demand.

We supply clinker to Southern African markets.

CEMENT

Cement is used in the construction industry and is made by grinding clinker with gypsum to create a strong, versatile binding material for concrete and mortar. Its durability and broad use make it essential for regional housing, infrastructure, and industrial development across Africa.

We supply various strengths of cement into the southern and east African markets.

chrome ore

South Africa is the biggest producer of Chrome Ore in the world. Chrome ore is mainly used in the production of Ferrochrome which is used to introduce Chromium to steel and alloys thereby assisting with anti corrosion, abrasion, hardness properties and shine in stainless steel.

We supply chrome concentrate from Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Met Coke

Met Coke is a high-carbon, low-volatility material made from coking coal and valued for its strength in pig iron and steel production. It’s essential to global steelmaking, with China producing over 430 million tons annually.

We supply, source and have access to Met Coke (Ferro alloy, Blast furnace and foundry grades) from various countries as per client-specific requirements.

We focus on trade transparency for stakeholder peace of mind and fair pricing, while maintaining continuous quality control.

We supply and trade various grades of anthracite from South Africa, Peru, the US to global markets.

Anthracite is a clean-burning carbon source used in energy, ferro alloy, and steel production. Ferro alloy producers use it as a low-cost reductant, while anthracite fines serve energy and steel production with high carbon, calorific value, and low volatility. Unlike thermal coal, anthracite is scarce, with global demand at around 200 million tons annually.

We supply various grades of thermal coal from South and eastern Africa.

Thermal coal is mainly used in energy, steel and industrial industries. We supply standard grades of thermal coal from RB1 to RB4. We specialise in the supply of sized thermal coal and off spec grades of thermal coal.

We supply, source and have access to Met Coke (Ferro alloy, Blast furnace and foundry grades) from various countries as per client-specific requirements.

Metallurgical Coke or Met Coke is a carbonaceous material produced through the heating of Coking Coal in a Coke Oven or Battery with the absence of oxygen. The end result has high carbon and low volatile content but is also noticeably stronger for use in pig iron and steel industries. China is the world biggest producer of Met coke producing over 430 million tons per annum.
