Recently, China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Africa Company and Leone Rock Metals Group signed the EPC general contract for the construction of the second phase of the 12 million mt/year beneficiation plant of the Tonkolili iron ore mine in the Republic of Sierra Leone and the second phase of the iron ore mining project contract, with a total contract value of $520 million. The Tonkolili iron ore mine is located in the Tonkolili mining area in the Northern Province of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

The proven reserves of Tonkolili mine are about 11.9 billion mt, and it is one of the largest single magnetite in the world. The main engineering content of the second-phase mining and mineral processing project is to build a mineral processing plant with an annual output of 12 million mt, which will mine and process transition layer iron ore. The mining project mines and strips a total of 18 million mt of ore per year. The contract period includes the preliminary preparation and trial production period of 16 months, and the official production period of 10 years. The beneficiation project includes the construction of a 12 million mt/year of beneficiation plant and the repairing of the existing 1B processing plant. The contract period is 18 months.

Hydrogen-based direct-reduced iron project developer GravitHy has filed building permit and environmental authorization applications for its planned low-carbon iron project at Fos-sur-Mer, France. The strategic green steel project targets an annual production of 2 million metric tons of hot briquetted iron (HBI) designed for electric arc furnace (EAF) consumption, which offers European steelmakers a lower-carbon feedstock alternative to coal-based blast furnaces. Operating at full capacity, the plant aims to cut carbon emissions by about 90% compared to conventional processes, avoiding up to 4 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually.
