We trade the whole spectrum of iron ore products and grades, including fine, low-grade and high-grade lump, pellets and hot briquetted iron. Our origination teams operate in all the main exporting countries.
We use our extensive international network to connect specific buyers with particular grades of stock. We deal with the major producers in key exporting countries such as Australia and Brazil as well as smaller mining concerns in South Africa, Mexico and Chile.
As the coal market becomes more challenging, not only with several major economies acting to reduce their reliance on coal in the energy mix but with increasing competition from alternative energy sources, Thorion Group remains committed to the market.
Our focus is on developing advantageous origination strategies, novel trading flows, and innovative delivery methods that will allow us to continue to build volumes and grow market share.
We apply these approaches across the full range of thermal coal qualities, in all the major points of origin, and across all the major global sales markets. We also serve coking coal customers across the world and are growing our presence in coke and petcoke.
Our global sales network, strength and reliability as a contractual counterparty continue to generate opportunities.
has operated at the nexus of finance and community development. We are deliberate in our actions to make both a financial and social impact. We know how private capital can transform underserved communities and help operating businesses grow, and we work with clients and investors to generate double bottom line returns. With fresh thinking that leads to better returns, Thorion Investment is not the same old style of investment firm, but something else entirely.
Some call it transformational capital.
We call it the right way to do business.

Our team is also experienced with scrap, and specialty alloys or further downstream products of the core metals we trade. Our participation in these markets is based principally on where we can add value to the value chain.
We maintain a global presence. We have the knowledge on the ground to source metals swiftly and cost-effectively from around the world. Our focus is on building volume and meeting the varying needs of producers and end-users.
In increasingly competitive market conditions, the ability to respond swiftly to shifting patterns of demand is a key point of differentiation. The refined metals and concentrates teams collaborate closely, using a range of tools to facilitate trading, including structured finance and tolling models.
