• Remaining undeveloped or under-developed DSO

deposits with Triopoly

• Other deposits are poor quality

• Concentration generates quality products with low impurity.

Concentration adds ‘Value’ not just cost • 68-70% versus 56-58% Fe (current typical Pilbara product)

• Price premium can offset the cost of concentration

• Magnetite concentrate gives customer ‘Energy’ as well

as quality Fe

• Concentration allows use of more cost effective mining

methods compared with DSO

Why IO that needs Concentration
