Koolan Island will be Australia’s highest grade DSO hematite producer at a Ore Reserve Grade of 65.5% Fe*:
-
65% Fe premium currently ~19% per dry metric tonne unit (dmtu) of contained iron relative to 62% Fe price.
-
Differential pinches and swells but has widened since early 2016.
-
The high grade premium reflects the Chinese clampdown on airborne pollutants, a transition to higher efficiency steel plants and steel makers seeking to maximise plant productivity and profit margins.
-
Demand for high grade feedstock imports by Chinese mills has increased as domestic production has reduced.
*For Ore Reserves information refer to slide at end of presentation and ASX release dated 20 April 2018.
