Coal mines
Our coal is sourced from well-established open-pit mines in Indonesia and South Africa. These regions are known for their high-quality thermal coal and stable supply chains.
Key mining areas include:
  • Indonesia – Kalimantan (South, East, and Central)
  • South Africa – Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces
Coal specification
We specialize in supplying thermal coal with high calorific values and varying ash, sulfur, and volatile matter contents to meet customer-specific requirements.
Our Indonesian coal typically features low ash and sulfur content, making it ideal for environmentally sensitive markets.
Our South African coal is known for its consistent quality and high energy output. We can customize blends according to delivery destination and customer parameters.
Delivery directions
Our coal deliveries are strategically routed through major international ports:
  • Indonesian coal is exported via Taboneo, Samarinda, and Kalimantan ports to key markets in Asia-Pacific (China, India, Vietnam, Philippines).
  • South African coal is shipped via Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) to India, Europe, and the Middle East.
    Our logistics partners ensure timely and efficient delivery, supported by strong port infrastructure and vessel availability.
Interesting Facts
Black Sand Commodities is one of the 5 largest coal exporters in the world.
Diamonds and coal are distant relatives: they both are composed from carbon (C). But for unknown reasons coal is not used for jewelry.
Coal grades differ in age significantly: from 100 Million years up to 400 Million years (dinosaurs appeared about 225 Million years ago).
100 g of coal has more calories than 100 g of hard chocolate. So think twice when you choose snack.
