Land Mining Ltd: Pioneering Trade in Raw Materials
Transforming the Iron Ore and Manganese ore Mining Industry
The iron and manganese ore mining sector serves as a cornerstone of the global economy, supplying essential raw materials to the steel industry—one of the most vital drivers of national and international economic growth. However, this sector has long faced challenges due to market volatility, high production and distribution costs, and a lack of agility and coordination in decision-making processes.
To overcome these hurdles, it is crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach to coordinated production and distribution planning. This includes integrating economic strategies with legal, tax, and fiscal planning, all within a robust supply chain management framework.
At Land Mining Ltd, our mission is to empower junior miners in South America, Africa and the Middle East by providing expert guidance across key areas of trade and operations. We go beyond profitability to focus on sustainable growth and community impact. By helping local miners break free from the control of large trading corporations, we aim to expand their operations, promote economic self-sufficiency, and uplift the communities that depend on mining.
Through these efforts, Land Mining Ltd is reshaping the future of mining, fostering fair opportunities for both mine owners and local stakeholders who have endured years of inequity.

Strategic Sourcing of Iron Ore
Iron Ore
Iron ore refers to rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted economically. These ores are typically rich in iron oxides and display a wide range of colors, from dark grey and deep purple to bright yellow and rusty red.
The most commonly mined iron ore minerals today include:
- Hematite (Fe₂O₃): Contains up to 70% iron content.
- Magnetite (Fe₃O₄): Boasts an iron content of approximately 72%.
- Goethite (Fe₂O₃•H₂O): Comprises around 63% iron content.
- Limonite: A blend of hydrated iron oxides, offering up to 60% iron.
Ores with exceptionally high iron content (greater than 60%), such as high-grade hematite and magnetite, are classified as “natural ore” or “direct shipping ore” (DSO). These premium ores can be fed directly into blast furnaces for iron-making without requiring extensive beneficiation.
At Land Mining Ltd, we proudly support the sourcing and trading of iron ores and its concentrate across a spectrum of grades, ranging from 52% to 64% iron content. Our expertise ensures reliable access to high-quality materials, meeting the diverse needs of our clients and driving growth in the steel industry worldwide.
Strategic Sourcing of Manganese Ore
Manganese Ore (Mn Ore)
At Land Mining Ltd, we partner with trusted suppliers in Brazil and South Africa under long-term offtake agreements to secure a stable and consistent supply of manganese ore throughout the year. Our shipment volumes range from 35,000 metric tons (MT) to 95,000 metric tons per month, depending on the customers request for China, India, Oman and various north African and Middle Eastern markets.
We offer manganese ore with varying grades to meet the needs of our global clients:
- 27% Mn content with SiO₂ over 25%, and
- 38%+ Mn content for export to key markets in China, India, and Europe.
To ensure superior product quality, we have made significant investments in advanced machinery and precision equipment for ore processing and grading. Our long-term vision is to establish ourselves as one of Brazil's leading exporters of high-grade manganese ore, supplying industries across multiple regions with reliable and high-quality resources.
Risk Management
We offer a full suite of price risk management services designed to meet the unique needs of trading houses, small and large manufacturers, miners, and other stakeholders in the supply chain. Our approach integrates a wide range of strategies that mitigate exposure to price volatility across commodities and raw materials, ensuring more predictable and sustainable business outcomes. Through our tailored solutions, we help clients manage not only price risk but also the associated financial and logistical challenges that arise from fluctuating markets. These solutions create stability and efficiency for both suppliers and consumers, enabling more reliable planning, cash flow management, and strategic decision-making.
Detailed Explanation of Key Elements:
Price Risk Management:
Price risk management involves protecting businesses from sudden and unpredictable changes in the prices of commodities, raw materials, or other goods. These price fluctuations can be influenced by factors such as supply chain disruptions, geopolitical events, currency exchange rates, and market demand. By implementing strategies like hedging through futures contracts, options, and other financial instruments, businesses can stabilize their costs and revenues.
Target Audience:
We clearly define the entities we serve, which include:
- Trading Houses: These organizations act as intermediaries, buying and selling large volumes of goods and commodities. Price volatility can significantly impact their margins.
- Factories and Manufacturers: Both small and large manufacturers rely on stable prices for raw materials (e.g., metals, fuel, or agricultural inputs). Price spikes or drops can disrupt production schedules, profit margins, and sales forecasts.
- Miners: Mining companies extract raw materials, often selling them under long-term contracts or spot markets where prices can fluctuate rapidly.
Logistical Risk Management:
Price risks often interact with logistical challenges, such as transportation delays, supply chain interruptions, or storage costs. By managing these risks, we help clients mitigate the downstream effects of market shifts, ensuring consistent delivery and production processes.
Financial Risk Management:
Fluctuations in commodity prices can affect cash flow, working capital, and debt obligations. We offer financial strategies to manage liquidity, improve credit access, and ensure that clients have the resources to weather price swings without jeopardizing their operations.
Benefits to Suppliers and Consumers:
Our services don't just help one side of the supply chain; they promote stability for both suppliers (e.g., miners and producers) and consumers (e.g., manufacturers and end users). By reducing uncertainty, businesses on both ends can enter into more favorable long-term contracts, improve forecasting, and enhance operational efficiency.
