Our Products
We strive to produce our products with sustainability and community development in mind. We have started to incorporate renewable energy mechanisms to assist in the production of our products and contribute less to climate change.
Iron ore is the primary raw material used in the production of iron, which is the main component of steel. It is essential for building infrastructure, manufacturing machinery, and producing countless everyday items.
Iron ore is the foundation of modern industrial society. The demand for steel, driven by construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development globally, makes iron ore one of the most important commodities in the world. The growth of developing economies heavily influences the demand for iron ore.
- Over 98% of mined iron ore is used to make steel.
- China is the largest consumer and importer of iron ore globally.
Manganese is a vital metallic element crucial for steel production, where it acts as a deoxidizer and hardener. It also plays a significant role in the production of batteries (especially lithium-ion batteries), fertilizers, and animal feed.
Manganese is indispensable for modern infrastructure and manufacturing. As the world's demand for steel continues to grow, particularly in developing economies, so does the need for manganese. Its emerging role in battery technology for electric vehicles and energy storage further amplifies its strategic importance for a sustainable future.
- Over 90% of mined manganese ore is used in steel production.
- China is the largest consumer of manganese ore globally.
- South Africa, Australia, Gabon, and Ukraine are major manganese ore producing countries.
Chrome is a hard, lustrous, and corrosion-resistant metal primarily used in the production of stainless steel, where it provides its characteristic shine and resistance to rusting. It also has applications in alloys, plating, and the production of chemicals.
Chrome is essential for industries requiring corrosion resistance and high strength, including automotive, construction, aerospace, and chemical processing. The demand for stainless steel, driven by urbanization and industrialization worldwide, underpins the global importance of chrome.
- Approximately 80-90% of mined chromite ore is used in the production of ferrochrome, a key ingredient in stainless steel.
- South Africa holds the largest reserves of chromite ore globally and is a major producer.
- China and India are significant consumers of ferrochrome.
Construction aggregates are granular materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, and recycled concrete, used as a fundamental component in construction. They provide bulk, stability, and drainage in concrete, asphalt, roads, railways, and buildings.
Construction aggregates are the unsung heroes of infrastructure development. As urbanization and population growth continue worldwide, the demand for housing, transportation networks, and other infrastructure projects necessitates a massive and readily available supply of these materials. They are essential for building the physical foundations of modern society.
- Construction aggregates are the most mined materials globally by volume.
- The demand for aggregates is directly linked to construction activity and economic growth.
- Regional and local factors heavily influence the supply and demand of construction aggregates due to transportation costs.
PGMs are a group of six chemically similar precious metals: platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), and osmium (Os). They are highly valued for their catalytic properties, electrical conductivity, and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Their primary applications include catalytic converters in vehicles, jewelry, electronics, and various industrial processes.
PGMs play a critical role in reducing harmful emissions from vehicles through catalytic converters, contributing to cleaner air. They are also vital in various industrial applications, including chemical production, electronics, and emerging technologies like fuel cells. Their scarcity and unique properties make them strategically important.
- South Africa and Russia are the dominant global producers of PGMs.
- The automotive industry is the largest consumer of platinum and palladium.
- Palladium and rhodium have seen significant price increases in recent years due to supply constraints and increasing demand for stricter emissions controls.
