Iron Ore & Steel

business Opportunity in Egypt – Iron Ore & Steel Egypt presents a potential investment opportunity for developing an integrated **iron ore beneficiation and downstream steel-processing industry**, leveraging confirmed **banded iron ore resources** at **Abu Marwat (approximately 6.5 million tonnes)** and **Abu Diwan (approximately 24 million tonnes)**, with combined resources of approximately **30.5 million tonnes**. **Potential investment activities include:** * Mining and extraction of **banded iron ore**. * Establishment of beneficiation plants to upgrade the ore and improve its iron content. * Production of **beneficiated iron ore/concentrate** as feedstock for steelmaking. * Development of downstream facilities for **semi-finished steel products**, including billets and related intermediate products. * Potential integration with existing Egyptian steelmaking and manufacturing industries. **Strategic opportunity:** The project could increase the **local value added of Egypt’s iron ore resources**, reduce the need for imported iron-bearing feedstock, and establish an integrated **mine-to-steel value chain**. Egypt's strategic location also offers potential for supplying steel inputs and semi-finished products to **African, Arab, Mediterranean and other regional markets**.
