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 main mining and processing operations are located in Africa and Southeast Asia. 

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 (rutile and ilmenite). We have a portfolio in rare earth products (cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium and neodymium) that significantly expanded or product range, serving diverse markets and industries. 

Mineral sands are critical components in some of the most commonly used household products such as inks, paints and tiles, sunscreen, toothpaste, medical devices, welding materials, and air and water purification systems. Mineral sands also contain rare earth elements (REE). These minerals are essential components in permanent magnets utilised in modern electronics and green technologies, such as electric vehicles and wind turbines. 

Because of their widespread use in industrial and consumer goods, as well as pivotal meaning for the global green energy transition, demand for mineral sands and rare earths has been stably increasing.
