Iron ore pellets in three specifications: a 65% Fe high grade pellet for export, a second export grade, and a domestic grade.

A 1.35 MTPA iron ore beneficiation plant, commissioned in the second quarter of 2025, upgrades the ore to 64% Fe. This allows the Company to produce 65% Fe pellets, a grade that few merchant pellet plants in the region can offer.
