Direct Mine Allocations for African Heavy Industry
We specialize in three core bulk mineral commodities powering cement kilns, captive thermal boilers, blast furnaces, and ferroalloy smelters. Each cargo is verified by SGS/BV assays and backed by Tier-1 trade finance.

Cement Clinker
Sintered calcium silicate nodules produced from precision-calcined limestone and aluminosilicates at 1450°C. Engineered specifically for African grinding plants producing CEM I 42.5N/R, CEM II 32.5N/R, and high early-strength Portland cements.
Key Applications:
- Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC - CEM I) Production
- Pozzolanic & Composite Cements (CEM II & CEM IV)
- High-Early-Strength Precast Construction Formulations
- Sulfate-Resistant Marine & Substructure Cements

Thermal Steam Coal
High Gross Calorific Value (GCV) bituminous and sub-bituminous thermal steam coal sized specifically for rotary cement kilns, captive captive boilers, paper mills, and grid power plants across Africa. Guaranteed volatile matter for rapid ignition and low slagging.
Key Applications:
- Cement Kiln Calcination & Clinkerization Fuel
- Industrial Captive Power Plants (CFB & Pulverized Boilers)
- Sugar Mills, Pulp & Paper Steam Turbines
- Lime & Chemical Processing Rotary Boilers

Metallurgical & Coking Coal
Specialized low-volatile and mid-volatile bituminous coal with high caking properties, swelling index, and hot strength (CSR) designed for coke ovens, blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces (EAF), and ferroalloy smelters across Africa.
Key Applications:
- Blast Furnace Coke Oven Feedstocks (Integrated Steel Plants)
- Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Rotary Kiln Reductant
- Ferroalloy Smelting & Submerged Arc Furnace Reductants
- Foundry Cupola Furnace Carbon Raiser & Injection (PCI)
