Kazakhstan's biggest
iron ore producer Sokolov-Sarbai
Mining Production Association (SSGPO), a subsidiary of
mining group Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation Plc. (ENRC), plans to commission a new
production line with wet magnetic separation in April this year, local media have reported.
Accordingly, SSGPO is currently carrying out installation works at the new
production line to start additional
production of non-fluxed pellets and
iron ore concentrate, which will boost SSGPO's annual iron concentrate
production capacity by one million mt from the current 14.9 million mt. Project implementation amounts to a total cost of about $50 million.
