SERVICES Commodity Trading E&T Minerals is an expert company when it comes to identifying and securing key resources sought by their clients from a large network of dependable producers. Should value added beneficiated services such as coal screening or crushing and washing of coal be needed they can be provided. Non-beneficiated raw materials can also be provided.

Sampling The reliability and consistency of mineral contents is guaranteed through E&T’s thorough sampling and validation process. In the best interests of the client they make sure to obtain various samples of minerals from their producers. To confirm all minerals are of the highest quality they are rigorously tested at several accredited mineral laboratories. In the future the management of E&T aims to develop their own lab to increase the speed and efficiency of this process.

Contract Management Clients are represented and included in every step of negotiations with suppliers and for long term purchase agreements.

KEY FUNDAMENTALS E&T is a fast growing company with big ambitions and drive to succeed. The passion to build a strong and sustainable global business is backed by a number of key fundamentals which drive E&T’s competitive advantage: • Blue Chip Clients: E&T Minerals’ portfolio includes a number of listed and non-listed blue chip companies. These blue chip clients, along with the other companies in E&T’s portfolio, have been very eager to sign medium to long term contracts with the company. These are the value-added services E&T offers, as well as the company’s future growth potential.

• Access to high quality resources: The local knowledge of E&T’s management team and years of experience in the natural resources sector has allowed them to build strong relationships with solid blue chip producers of coal.
