Product overview
The foundation of steel and iron production
Iron ore is the primary raw material for the global steel industry. Its Fe content and impurity profile directly influence furnace efficiency, slag chemistry, metallization and finished-product quality.
Our iron ore is selected for high grade and consistent chemistry. Strict quality controls help keep composition stable from the first ton to the last, reducing the process risk associated with mixed or intermediary supply.
You receive material matched to your required Fe target, impurity limit and process route, supported by documented composition on every shipment.
High and consistent gradeFe up to 65%+ with controlled silica, alumina, phosphorus and sulphur.
Verified chemistryCertificate of Analysis supplied with every consignment.
Low-impurity options
Low-phosphorus and higher-Fe grades can be matched to specialized requirements.
Reliable supply
Spot orders and long-term contracts supported through coordinated export logistics.
Origin and sourcing
Trusted deposits, verified chemistry and coordinated export
Our supply draws on trusted iron ore deposits valued for high Fe content and a favorable impurity profile.

| S (Sulphur) | < 0.05% |
| Moisture | < 3.0% |
| Loss on Ignition | 2% – 5% |
Available grades and forms
Lumps, fines and pellet feed matched to your process
Lumps: 10–40 mm
Direct-charge feed for blast furnaces and suitable direct reduction operations.
Fines: 0–10 mm
Feedstock for sintering and pelletizing operations.
Pellet feed
Finely ground concentrate for iron ore pellet production.
Process-specific grades
Blast furnace grade, direct-reduction grade and low-phosphorus grade.
Industrial applications
Iron ore for four core industrial processes
Steel production
High-Fe, low-impurity ore supports efficient blast furnace operation, predictable slag chemistry and steady output across large production runs.
- Higher metallic yield per ton
- Controlled silica and alumina
- Consistent furnace burden performance
Direct reduction: DRI and HBI
Direct reduction plants require high-Fe, low-gangue feed with tight control over silica and alumina. DR-grade lumps and pellet feed support reliable metallization and sponge iron quality.
- High Fe and low gangue
- Consistent metallization
- Grades for DRI and HBI plants
Pig iron manufacturing
Pig iron producers depend on stable ore chemistry for predictable carbon and impurity levels in the finished metal.
- Consistent Fe input
- Cleaner, more efficient melts
- Stable finished-metal chemistry
Stable burden chemistry
Controlled gangue and impurities help improve melt predictability.
Cement production
Iron ore serves as a corrective additive in cement, supplying iron oxide required for clinker formation and stable kiln operation.
- Iron corrective for clinker raw mix
- Stable kiln performance
- Consistent cement output
Cement-grade supply
Matched to raw-mix correction and plant-specific chemistry.
