Connecting producers to markets across anthracite coal and scrap steel — leveraging Group relationships and logistics capabilities to deliver reliable commodity supply chains.
Division Overview
The resource trading division of the Peo Ya Africa Group focuses on the procurement, trading, and offtake of strategic commodities — currently concentrated in anthracite coal and scrap steel. These commodities were selected for their strong regional demand, their alignment with the Group's mining operations, and their trading margin potential.
Anthracite, a premium-grade hard coal with high carbon content and low impurities, is essential to the steel, ferroalloys, and industrial heating markets. Scrap steel trades into the rapidly growing electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking sector across the Southern African region.
By combining mining expertise with market relationships, we are uniquely positioned to source, quality-assure, and deliver commodities that meet buyer specifications consistently and competitively.
