TRADINGTHE WORLD

01

Sun Resources is a leading multinational company engaged in the supply

of agricultural commodities, oil & gas, coal, metals and minerals. Our

global coverage is vast and our operations extend across the energy value

chain, from production and mining right through to delivery to the end

user. Commencing our operations in 2007 we have grown exponentially,

both in terms of traded volumes and value.

With a strong presence in the Middle Eastern markets, we have been able

to, over the years, make significant inroads in Africa, Europe and Asia. Our

business model is driven by our commitment to providing comprehensive

end-to-end supply chain solutions to our clients. We source the best

product qualities with the most optimum pricing mechanisms.

Our unparalleled service ethos is testament to the fact that we have, in

place today, a number of contracts with multinational companies who

have chosen to make us their preferred partners, both on the supply and

demand side of the energy complex.

Guidingprinciples

We are young and vibrant. We are a young company with a team of

professionals around the world, who are experts in their respective commodity

areas. Our youth enables us to be naturally acquisitive, and therefore, by

definition, ambitious. We continuously stretch our limits and challenge existing

norms but with the clear intention of protecting our partners’ interests while

growing ours.

We conduct our business with integrity. We take pride in conducting our

business with integrity. We compete vigorously, but do so fairly and ethically.

We provide the vital links for the success of your company. At Sun Resources

we work to enhance your productivity and profitability. Each service

complements the next, creating a value chain that guarantees our customers

access to reliable, top quality supplies.

We honor our business obligations. Our business relationships are grounded in

mutual trust. We build and maintain the trust and confidence of our customers

and business partners by communicating honestly, respecting information

entrusted to us, and standing behind our commitments.

We believe in business partnerships. Our partnership model is based on

collective responsibility. We form business partnerships based on fair and

mutually agreed objectives wherever in the world we are doing business.

We understand markets. At Sun Resources we pride ourselves in our

commitment to embracing the nuances, dynamics and unique sensitivities

of the commodities markets. We are careful to assess risk exposure on the

ground, in local markets – where we can see the real relationship between

cause and effect and its corresponding impact on demand and supply.

We are not speculators on absolute price movements. At Sun Resources we

do not expose ourselves, or our customers, to unnecessary risks. Instead, we

use our worldwide reach, local understanding and experience to anticipate

change, marshal resources and deliver innovative, effective and reliable

logistics solutions.

Guidingprinciples

Our business is organized around four major segments:

1. Agricultural commodities

2. Oil & gas

3. Coal and mineral products

4. Upstream investments

Agricultural commodities

Commodities keep the world going and being successful in this market

requires developing a broad access to a wide variety of suppliers, while

constantly improving product management. At Sun Resources, our market

savvy professionals work diligently within our network of suppliers and

transportation resources to achieve the best possible results, simplifying

customers needs.

Our agricultural commodities are sectioned into two main streams:

1. Grains & oilseeds

2. Fertilizers

05

Products /portfolio

Grains and oilseeds We are committed to providing high quality crops from a broad range of

premium producers. Our team draws upon its vast knowledge and experience

to gain direct access to major supply sources and obtain optimum crops.

The main bulk products that we handle are: wheat, maize, rice, raw cashew,

cocoa, soybean, sugar and edible oil.

FertilizersWith the acceleration of the global fertilizer trade, Sun Resources is able to

source and provide a large portfolio of quality organic and commercial

fertilizer products for customers at the best possible prices. Our shipping and

logistics team provides the strength and agility to ensure that our committed

supplies are delivered to our clients efficiently.

We strive to be a profitable supplier of quality fertilizers to meet the changing

needs of our valued customers.

Key fertilizer products in our portfolio include urea, potassium fertilizers, potash

minerals, mono ammonium phosphate (MAP), di-ammonium phosphate

(DAP 18-46) and binary compound fertilizer.

Agriculturalcommodities

A longstanding client of ours required a steady and reliable supply of rock

phosphate. We were tasked with the procurement of the product and its

delivery. Rock phosphate has the reputation of being a difficult commodity

to procure and tends to be mined only in a few countries around the world.

Having taken the client mandate, we found a reliable source of the product

in Cameroon. However, the supplier was located at a significant distance

from the port. Using the local knowledge and network that we have built over

time, we were able to secure surface transportation to transfer the product

from mine to port reliably and safely. Our supply of rock phosphate to this

one client stands at two and a half million tonnes annually.

CASE STUDY

Our expertise enables us to see opportunities across oceans and geographical boundaries, and we have a strong established network that can rapidly adapt to changing circumstances and consistently place the right trades at the right time.

We have built on existing relationships with our energy industry partners and invested in new relationships and innovative contractual arrangements with suppliers, pipeline and storage operators in the energy sector. Our crude oil business is one of the fastest growing within the group, and our aspiration is to become one of the top 10 global crude oil traders over the course of the next few years.

We have long-standing relationships in every area of the business, from government producers and multinational oil companies to small and medium-sized producers, refiners and shippers. We have extensive and established operations in all the key hydrocarbon producing regions of the world including Nigeria, Angola, Russia, Libya and South America.

Our international customer base comprises of a wide variety of industries, ensuring we can facilitate any type of transaction from offtake and supply to refining, blending and strategic storage. This ensures we have a truly global presence.

08

Oil andgas

In recent years, the coal market has become increasingly liberalized, with new

grades of coal and pre-financing instruments creating a more sophisticated

environment and one that is ideally suited to Sun Resources’ experience and

expertise.

We cover a wide range of specific origins for both steam coal and mineral

products. We have a presence in every major mining region and are

successfully meeting the diverse needs of customers around the world.

With the support of our dedicated team, we complete every consignment

on time, from the mine to the end client. We export a wide variety of coal

and mineral products that are sourced from reputed suppliers. The sourced

products also go through stringent quality checks by independent third party

inspection agencies to ensure that the desired quality of coal and minerals is

procured and delivered.

The products we supply include coal, gold, zinc, manganese, aluminum,

copper, iron ore and rare earth metal. 09

Coal and mineral

products

The Indian power market is in its infancy. While trading volumes have grown

over the past few years, it still remains a highly regulated market with state

electricity boards fixing price tariffs through power purchase agreements.

India relies heavily on coal burn, so any upward movement in the price of

coal has significant repercussions on a thermal power producers profitability

given his inability to raise power prices correspondingly. This is especially true

for power producers who rely on imported coal. We recognized early on that

merely trading imported coal would not add incremental value either to our

business or to our client. We therefore took an ambitious step and acquired a

series of coal mines in Indonesia and South Africa. This served two purposes,

one, it created security of supply for our clients, in an uncertain market, two,

it provided us the flexibility to offer our client a wider range of pricing options

that helped him hedge his price risk optimally. Our coal supplies to clients

around the world are in excess of 15 million tonnes annually.

CASE STUDY

At Sun Resources we have an in-depth understanding of the world’s mining

and natural resources markets and can react to changes in the marketplace

quickly and decisively. This knowledge and speed of response, combined with

our ability to move physical products, means that we are able to tolerate price

fluctuations, and manage risk, proactively and more efficiently.

Our strong network in the mining industry, globally and mainly in Africa, has

established Sun Resources as a preferred partner for natural resources supplies

across the Middle East, India and Asia.

11

Mining and investments

Additionally, our goal is to grow through a series of acquisitions and investments

of new mining and energy properties. Our view is very clear, with the demand

for energy set to grow over time, our real value addition would be generated

through the ownership of asset. This would provide our clients the security of long

term supply and establish us as one of the leading fully integrated commodities

players globally. To this extent, we have identified a number of acquisition

targets and farm-in opportunities around the world.

Sun Resources directly invests in assets that are related to the group’s core

commodity trading activities. Teams of international and local specialists are

dedicated to the development and management of these investments.
