Our commodities
HIGG works across three important mineral and commodity areas: heavy mineral sands, gold and coal.
Minerals with industrial purpose
Heavy mineral sands, gold and coal
Each commodity requires a different understanding of geology, extraction, processing, logistics and market requirements. HIGG’s role is shaped by the characteristics of the resource and the needs of the project partner.
Minerals that support modern industry
Heavy mineral sands
Heavy mineral sands contain minerals used across pigment, ceramics, foundry, welding and advanced-material applications.
HIGG’s heavy mineral sands focus includes ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite. The company’s activities cover exploration, extraction, processing capability and industrial supply discussions in Vietnam and Mozambique.
The commercial value of a heavy mineral sands project depends on the quality of the deposit, the recovery process, the operating environment and the route to market. HIGG works with partners to understand those requirements and identify the appropriate project approach.

Exploration and extraction across West Africa
Gold
Gold projects require careful exploration, geological understanding and a practical approach to extraction.
HIGG’s gold activities include exploration, alluvial extraction and hard-rock extraction. Its Liberia operations include gold exploration concessions and wider mining activities in West Africa.
HIGG can support the project cycle from geological investigation and deposit assessment through to mining support and extraction activities.

Energy and industrial resources
Coal
Coal continues to serve energy and industrial markets that depend on reliable mineral supply and practical logistics.
HIGG works with energy and industrial coal resources across mining, logistics and supply-chain requirements. Its coal capability includes project support, extraction, stockpile management and the movement of material to market.
Each coal project is shaped by its resource, operating country, customer requirements and logistics network.
