EAST Minerals Group’s core business and expertise is in the exploration, project development, mining, processing, marketing and shipping of mineral sands and rare earths.
Our Group is one of the leading participants in the global mineral sands sector, with a significant market share position in the production of zircon and titanium dioxide products. We have recently expanded our product range to include critical minerals – the highly valued rare earth elements, serving diverse industries and adapting to rising global demand.
With an international industrial presence, our company has world-class mining deposits and holds several major exploration licenses in Southeast Asia and Africa. Our main operations and processing facilities are located in Vietnam, Laos and Mozambique.
Combining geological expertise, business experience and new technological capabilities, we are successfully developing and operating both greenfield and brownfield projects. Our strategically located high-quality assets and a well-developed logistics infrastructure, allow us to capitalize on green, sustainable energy sources and year-round shipping, as well as to handle on-site ship operations efficiently.
We have significantly invested into developing regional infrastructure, by building dedicated ports and storage facilities in our operational areas. These measures have strengthened our globally integrated logistics and sales network, providing us with quick access to customers worldwide and enabling them to secure stable supplies of critical minerals in return.
Headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, our company is led by a team of highly experienced international operational executives, corporate finance specialists, strategy consultants, shipping and logistics experts, marketing and sales specialists. We have over 1,000 employees globally.
Our products portfolio includes:
Titanium dioxide products: ilmenite, rutile, and titanium slag
Zircon products: zircon sand, zircon flour, and zirconium silicate
Rare earth products: neodymium, praseodymium, cerium, and lanthanum
Our mineral sands and rare earth products are key raw materials that can be applied directly or processed into intermediate materials. They are highly valued for their unique properties and wide industrial applications, making the mineral sands industry a crucial contributor to diverse sectors of the global economy.
Our company’s advanced products serve numerous markets, including electronics, construction, ceramics, paints and coatings, paper and packaging, plastics, aerospace and defense, healthcare, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, environmental technologies and many others.
For instance, mineral sands are critical components in some of the most common household items such as inks, paints, tiles, sunscreen and toothpaste. They also have more specific applications in medical devices, welding materials, air and water purification systems, commercial aerospace, refractories, foundries and CRT glass, to name a few. Our rare earth mineral products are vital components in permanent magnets utilized in modern electronics and green technologies, such as electric vehicles and wind turbines.
Notably, our critical minerals cohabitate with our mineral sands deposits, so they are separated into concentrated rare earths as part of our normal mineral sands processing and production. Therefore, we have a significantly lower environmental footprint in comparison to many existing producers.
As the world moves towards advanced and sustainable technologies, our mineral sands and rare earth products are becoming more technologically, environmentally, and economically important across the globe. Securing a stable supply of critical minerals has become a priority for many countries.
Our strategic focus is to responsibly supply the critical minerals the world increasingly needs today to advance high-tech infrastructure and successfully transition to sustainable technologies across various industries. That is why at the heart of our business operations lies a firm commitment to excellence in operational and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance.
Our comprehensive ESG efforts include fostering regional development and creating economic opportunities for local people, communities and economies, prioritizing local employment, safeguarding the health, well-being and fundamental rights of our employees, adhering to high business and corporate governance standards, and serving as responsible stewards of the natural resources entrusted to us.
