Mining & Logistics Division

Minerals, graded and delivered.

We supply industrial minerals, metals and aggregates, and we move them. Material is graded to your specification at source and delivered to your plant or port on a schedule you can plan around.

Mining and logistics

Supply is only half the job.

A mineral contract fails on delivery far more often than it fails on geology. The material exists; getting the right grade to the right plant, on time, at a landed cost that still works, is the difficult part.

That is why the two sit in one division. We control the material from the pit through grading and loading to the point it reaches you, and one team answers for both the specification and the schedule.

What we supply

Five material groups.

Graded, assayed and documented before anything leaves the site.

  • Industrial minerals

    Gypsum, limestone, dolomite, calcium carbonate, barite, feldspar, kaolin and silica sand for cement, glass, paint and chemical production.

  • Metals and ores

    Copper, iron ore, nickel, manganese, chromium, zinc and lead, assayed and certified to the grade on the contract.

  • Critical minerals

    Graphite, lithium, cobalt, tantalum and rare earth minerals for battery and technology supply chains.

  • Construction aggregates

    Crushed stone, gravel, sand, road base, concrete and asphalt aggregates in project volumes, delivered to site.

  • Energy minerals

    Thermal coal and other energy minerals, graded by calorific value for industrial use.

Operations

From pit to plant.

Logistics that survive contact with a real road

Haulage, port handling, documentation and customs are planned with the order, not arranged after it. Volumes are matched to the equipment that will actually move them and to the roads they will actually travel.

  • Road haulage and bulk transport to plant or port
  • Port handling, storage and vessel loading
  • Export documentation, certification and customs clearance
  • Scheduled delivery against production requirements

Grade you can plan production around

Material is sampled and assayed before dispatch, and every consignment ships with its documentation. If a grade cannot be met, you hear it before loading rather than on arrival.

  • Sampling and assay against the contract specification
  • Certificates of analysis with every consignment
  • Consistent sizing and moisture control
  • Traceable, responsibly sourced material

Who we supply

Industries that buy by the tonne.

  • Cement and lime producers

    Limestone, gypsum and additives supplied to plant schedules.

  • Steel and foundries

    Iron ore, manganese, dolomite and alloy metals to specified grades.

  • Construction contractors

    Aggregates, sand and road base delivered in project volumes.

  • Glass and ceramics

    Silica sand, feldspar and kaolin to consistent chemistry.

  • Battery and technology

    Graphite, lithium and cobalt for energy storage supply chains.

  • Commodity traders

    Contract and spot volumes with export documentation handled.

Why us

Why buy through Sabbia.

  • One party for supply and delivery

    The grade and the schedule sit with the same team, so a delivery problem does not become a dispute between a supplier and a haulier.

  • Group balance sheet

    Contract volumes backed by a diversified group rather than a single-commodity trader.

  • Documented quality

    Assay, certification and traceability on every consignment, so your own compliance holds up.

  • Spot or contract

    A single trial load or a standing quarterly commitment, on the same terms and the same paperwork.
