Ferrowest Ltd​
Ferrowest Limited is developing the 'Yalgoo Iron Project', a project aimed at producing seaborne traded merchant pig iron from the 100% company owned Yogi iron ore deposit, 14km east of Yalgoo in the mid west region of Western Australia.

​

The Scoping Study and Preliminary Feasibility Study for the Project have been successfully completed and a Definitive Engineering Study is currently underway. Subject to the successful completion of the feasibility studies, production is scheduled to commence in early 2014.

 

Initial production output is expected to be 1.0 million tonnes per annum of high quality (96%Fe) merchant pig iron in a physical form of iron nuggets, primarily for export to quality electric arc steel manufacturers that require pure iron feedstock to average down contaminants introduced by scrap iron feed materials.​

​

The project location in Western Australia with its low sovereign risk, low cost energy, significant iron ore resources and existing infrastructure facilities for natural gas, water, transport and port facilities will ensure that Ferrowest will be a reliable exporter of high quality iron units for steel manufacturers in the Asian region and beyond.
