“The iron ore industry was once a slow moving behemoth which seemed as predictableas

the tides coming in and out of Port Hedland. But the past decade brought unprecedentedchanges

to the bulk commodity, and the next ten years could be even bigger.”Iron Ore Review, 26 January 2010

IIR Conferences inaugural FeTech Conference is well timed to explore the upgrading and beneficiation of lower grade ore for export markets, and is supported by MagNet. Magnetite is more expensive to produce than hematite or direct shipping ore (DSO), but earns a price premium over "normal" hematite as its better quality and cheaper to use in the steel mills.

The local ore industry is a focal point for investment and development, primarily in its Pilbara heartland but gaining traction in the burgeoning South Australian market. Magnetite and other alternative ores - previously thought uneconomic to mine - can make money, with companies studying ways to improve the processing of lower grade magnetite and high impurity ore deposits.

Innovation in the processing of alternative ores is to be a major focus of FeTech 2010, with approaches to high phosphorus ore, access to infrastructure, pricing projections and company updates also a major part of the agenda.
