Australia's Centaurus Metals Ltd. confirmed its capability to produce direct reduction (DR) grade pellet feed at its Jambreiro Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. A pilot plant successfully produced 0.5 tons of concentrate featuring an average 68.7% iron content, with low impurities including 1.45% silica, 0.48% alumina, and 0.02% phosphorus. The company is evaluating the production of a DR grade pellet with 68% iron and combined silica and alumina under 2%. The development positions Centaurus to supply premium feedstock for electric arc furnaces (EAF), offering steelmakers a critical avenue to lower their overall carbon footprint compared to traditional blast furnace feeds.
