Australia-based miner Northern Iron has announced that it has sent a trial cargo to
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, consisting of approximately 80,000 mt of
iron ore concentrate from its Sydvaranger mine in
Norway, for
ThyssenKrupp's own sintering operations and for consumption at Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann in Germany.
Northern Iron said that, if the trial shipment proves a success, the company is aiming to start discussions with
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe to reach a long-term
iron ore offtake deal.
