    Our Strategic Advantage

    Our close collaboration with IXM, a top-three global metals trading house, gives Phoenix Commodities LLC access to international markets, world-class expertise, and real-time market intelligence – strengthening our position as a trusted broker within Mongolia.

    Combined with the logistical capabilities of our sister company, Phoenix Logistics LLC, which specializes in cross-border railway transport, we deliver end-to-end solutions that ensure speed, reliability, and cost efficiency across the mineral commodities supply chain.

    We maintain a close partnership with IXM, a globally recognized trader of base and precious metals, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

    As of 2025, IXM is the world’s third-largest metals trading company, trailing only Glencore and Trafigura in trading volume and global influence.

    In 2024, IXM traded approximately 6.3 million tonnes of non-ferrous metals and concentrates, solidifying its position among the elite players of the global commodities market.

    IXM is wholly owned by CMOC Group Limited, a Chinese mining giant and the world’s largest cobalt miner, as well as a major producer of copper. This strategic relationship enables Phoenix Commodities LLC to tap into IXM’s global network and deep market expertise, significantly enhancing our trading capabilities.

    We benefit from our sister company, Phoenix Logistics LLC, which operates under the same holding group. Phoenix Logistics LLC specializes in railway logistics and transportation of mineral exports from Mongolia to China.

    With an operational fleet of 100 railway wagons and several years of successful service, the company has developed strong partnerships with Mongolia’s leading state-owned mining enterprises.

    Supported by a highly experienced team with deep knowledge of Mongolia’s railway infrastructure and cross-border logistics, we plan to further expand our fleet of wagons to meet increasing demand and improve operational capacity.
