The iron ore pellets are produced in our Pellets Plant facilities.
Pellet Plant, this product is classified into:

Iron ore fines agglomerated in the form of nodules. The term self-fluxing means that they are manufactured with a special alkali additive such as limestone or dolomite. It is used in direct charging to blast furnaces for pig iron production.
Used in direct charging to blast furnaces for pig iron production.

The Granza (granulated iron ore) is produced at our Minas el Romeral facilities, which have their own ore crushing plants.
It is the traditional product of iron ore mines and is generally subjected to a beneficiation process to separate it from the gangue, thus increasing its iron grade. It is used in direct charge for pig iron production.

Fino is iron ore produced at our Minas el Romeral and Pellet Plant facilities. It is marketable iron ore that must generally be sinter agglomerated to subsequently feed a blast furnace. It is used in the sintering process to produce nodules as a direct charge to the blast furnace and for pig iron production.
