Materials

Bulk Inputs

High-volume raw materials, energy products, and bulk commodities for mining, steel, cement, and power generation — with particular strength in African mining markets.

Bulk Inputs Drive Industrial and Mining Operations

Bulk inputs form the backbone of industrial processes across mining, steel, cement, power, and chemical sectors. From mineral ores and energy products to sulphur derivatives and solid fuels, OLFA sources and delivers high-volume commodities with the logistics capability to handle everything from containerised loads to full Panamax cargoes. Our procurement team works directly with mines, quarries, and refineries across major producing regions.

Our particular strength is supplying critical inputs to mining operations across Africa, including the DRC Copperbelt, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Tanzania, and Mozambique — delivering fuel, chemicals, and raw materials with cross-border clearance and bonded warehousing where required.

Mineral & Mining Inputs

High-volume ores, minerals, and construction raw materials sourced from major producing regions worldwide.

Iron Ore (Fines & Lumps)
Limestone
Gypsum
Bauxite
Manganese Ore
Silica Sand
Clinker
Fly Ash
Petroleum Coke
Dolomite

Supplied to ASTM and ISO specifications, with flexible packaging from 50 kg bags and jumbo bags to full bulk vessel shipments. Consistent quality ensures efficiency across cement, steelmaking, and chemical processing applications.

Key Differentiator

Energy Products for Industrial & Mining Operations

Fuel supply is a critical challenge for mining and heavy industry operations, particularly in remote African locations. OLFA supplies energy products directly to mine sites, processing plants, and vessel operators.

Fuel Oil (HFO 180/380)

Mine site power generation, industrial boilers, captive power plants

Gasoil / Diesel (AGO)

Heavy mining equipment, haul trucks, transport fleets, gensets

Marine Fuel Oil

Vessel bunkering for bulk carriers and project cargo vessels

We supply into African mining markets including the DRC Copperbelt, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Tanzania, and Mozambique — managing bulk fuel logistics from international procurement through in-country delivery, including cross-border clearance and bonded warehousing where required.

Sulphur & Sulphur Products

Sulphur is a critical process chemical — particularly for copper and cobalt mining where sulphuric acid is essential for SX-EW leaching operations.

Granular Sulphur

Purity up to 99.5%, conforming to ASTM and ISO specifications. Supplied in uniform particle size for optimised handling. Packaging: bulk shipments, jumbo bags, 50 kg bags.

Sulphuric Acid (93% / 98%)

Technical grade H₂SO₄, critical for copper and cobalt hydrometallurgical processing. Supplied in ISO tank containers and bulk tankers with full hazmat logistics management.

Pyrite

Sourced as feedstock for sulphuric acid production.

Carbon & Solid Fuels

Thermal and metallurgical coal, petroleum coke, and carbon products for power generation, cement, and steel industries.

Thermal Coal

Various calorific values, low sulphur and ash content options, customisable size ranges

Coking / Metallurgical Coal

Sourced for steel industry coke ovens, meeting international quality benchmarks

Petroleum Coke (Petcoke)

Fuel-grade and anode-grade, sourced from refineries worldwide

Sourced to international specifications with strict quality control. Supplied in bulk vessel shipments or containerised loads, with logistics management from origin port to final delivery.
