Ares Asia

We primarily focus on the fast-growing thermal coal sector through our coal trading platform and we seek to create value for our shareholders through strategic investments in the mining and resources sector. Under a new leadership team comprised of professionals with unparalleled combination of investment and operational expertise in Asia's resourc... es industry, we aim to capture the value curve in the mining and resources sector to create long term value for our shareholders. Given the ongoing trends of industrialisation and urbanisation in key developing countries such as China and India, we believe the demand for resources will remain strong.
