Iron pellet plan

[Borealiste]

In your opinion, should we forget the project to reopen the iron pellet plan in Pointe-Noire? Their study concerning this project has now been pending for 7 months and nothing is clear!

IMHO  "Reopening the Wabush pellet plant is a silly dream by someone who had not yet done their DD. The place is a wreck. It would be better to demolish everything, sell the scrap, and build a new installation incorporating new technologies from the ground up. The actual wreck dates from the mid 60s and was never upgraded or expanded while others in the region were doing exactly that

ok thanks, I already know that living in 7-iles, but how do you explain the purchase of the factory and their publication and interview on the study of a reopening and then their silence. We know that this factory is in very poor condition, so what is the justification for the purchase, for investing in a study? The port of 7-iles was lining up to demolish it and champion came forward just before

Reason why you haven't heard about a pellet plan is because they are waiting for the cold pellet technology, Binding Solution technology. As for the buildings David Cataford had said the only reason they bought the pellet plant was for the building, gut job inside.

. However, when announcing the purchase, they mentioned that a study would be filed before the end of 2023 concerning the refurbishment of the plant, also the technology is known before 2021. During the Ausimm event in Australia, a conference concerning this technology in connection with Champion is held there: https://www.ausimm.com/publications/conference-proceedings/iron-ore-2021/development

Yes, bring on a plan! The goal is 25 Million tonnes and pellets down the road.

Yes, bring on a plan! The goal is 25 Million tonnes and pellets down the road.   25 million!! ?? Where does it come from? I don't think they intend to produce that many pellets, we aim to produce 15 million tonnes of minerals!! The question remains, why the study for the plant has not been presented nor an explanation after 7 months of delay!
