Phosphate Rock Mining
Our Safaga and Qena deposits yield high-grade phosphate rock with P₂O₅ content exceeding 30%, serving fertiliser producers and chemical manufacturers across the Middle East and Europe.
Silica Sand Processing
Our state-of-the-art washing and classification plant produces ultra-pure silica sand (SiO₂ > 99.5%) for glass, foundry, and water filtration applications worldwide.
Feldspar & Calcium Carbonate
From our Upper Egypt quarries, we supply ceramic-grade feldspar and micronised calcium carbonate to paint, plastics, and construction material manufacturers in over 30 countries.
From Deposit to Delivery
-
01
Geological Survey & Exploration
Our geologists conduct comprehensive deposit mapping using satellite imagery, core drilling, and geochemical analysis to identify the highest-yield mineral seams.
-
02
Extraction & Primary Crushing
Controlled blasting and heavy excavation equipment extract raw ore, which is immediately fed into jaw and cone crushers to reduce material to processing-ready sizes.
-
03
Washing, Grading & Refinement
Advanced hydrocyclone and spiral classifier systems wash, separate, and grade minerals to precise particle-size distributions and chemical purity specifications.
-
04
Quality Testing & Certification
Each production lot is sampled and tested in our ISO-accredited laboratory. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, documenting chemical composition and physical properties.
-
05
Packaging & Global Shipment
Finished products are packed in jumbo bags, 50 kg sacks, or loaded as bulk cargo into containers and shipped via Alexandria and Safaga ports to destinations worldwide.

What is your minimum order quantity?
Our standard minimum order is 20 tonnes (one full container load). For bulk shipments, we regularly handle orders of 5,000 tonnes or more with competitive pricing tiers for long-term contracts.
How do you ensure product quality and consistency?
Every production batch is tested in our ISO-accredited on-site laboratory using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry and laser particle-size analysis. A certificate of analysis accompanies each shipment.
What shipping options are available?
We offer containerised shipment (20 ft and 40 ft), bulk vessel loading, and overland trucking. Our proximity to Alexandria and Safaga ports enables efficient access to Mediterranean, Red Sea, and global shipping routes.
Do you offer custom mineral specifications?
Yes. Our processing plants can adjust washing, grinding, and classification parameters to meet your exact chemical composition and particle-size requirements. Contact our technical team to discuss your specifications.
What are your sustainability practices?
We hold ISO 14001 certification and implement progressive land rehabilitation, solar-powered processing, water recycling, and community development programmes in all areas where we operate.
