Iron Ore Fines 62% Fe

Haematite iron ore fines at 62% Fe for sinter feed and blast furnace charge, supplied in bulk or container lots.

Iron ore fines 62 percent Fe bulk cargo prepared for export from South Africa
Product Overview

62% Fe is the global benchmark grade against which iron ore is priced and traded. Buyers reference it directly to the published index, which makes pricing discussions unusually transparent compared with most minerals.

Silica, alumina and phosphorus carry penalties; deviation from the base grade is adjusted pro rata. We quote the indicative specification and the adjustment mechanism in the offer so there are no surprises at settlement.

Fines are moisture-sensitive cargo with a transportable moisture limit. For container shipment we use bulk liners and load within the certified limit.

Frequently asked

How is iron ore priced?

Against the published 62% Fe index, with pro-rata adjustment for grade deviation and penalties for silica, alumina and phosphorus.

Container or break-bulk?

Break-bulk is cheaper per tonne above charter-parcel size. Below that, container lots with bulk liners are the practical route.
