‘We have successfully produced Direct Reduction Pellets. This is a major milestone for the Iron Bear project. Our DR pellets demonstrated excellent physical and metallisation properties, and we are on track to start shipping bulk samples to potential off take Clients as early as Q2 2025. Direct Reduction pellets are a key enabler to low carbon steel production and sell at a high premium to the 62% Fe benchmark. This premium is currently ~ 63.5 USD/t2. The industry standard pelletising conversion cost is ~ 15 USD/t which implies a typical additional cash profit of ~ 48.5 USD/t3 for DR pellets versus benchmark 62% Fe iron ore”
