Tailings are waste products from iron ore beneficiation and comprises mainly silica with 14 to 25% Fe

Concentrate is 63/64% Fe grade while superconcentrate is 67/68% Fe

Gravity and low intensity Magnetic Separation Methods

Concentrate is 63/64% Fe grade while superconcentrate is 67/68% Fe

-Self reliance and guaranteed supply of 63 to 64% Fe concentrates to the Nation’s Primary Steel Plant at Ajaokuta which if started, has to run continuously for a period of at least 15 years uninterrupted. -Guaranteed supply of 67 – 68% Fe Concentrates to the Delta Steel Plant when the Superconcentrate/Weathered Ore Pre-treatment Plant project is completed. -Meeting of the local iron ore needs of the Nation’s Oil and Gas Pipeline Coating Industries, Cement Industries, etc. -Meeting of the local requirement of the nations sponge iron for local steel industries -Development of the locally available steel making raw materials, namely; lump iron ore, limestone/marble, dolomite, refractory clays, cokeable coal, manganese, bauxite, ferro-silicon, ferro-manganese, aluminium pigs, scrap, natural gas. -Employment generation at NIOMCO, upstream and downstream Industries for inclusive economic growth. -Technological acquisition and Human Capital Development in Solid Minerals Development and allied services. -Conservation of foreign exchange through Import Substitution. -Earning of foreign exchange through export of excess capacity. -Increased Gross Domestic Product and greater profitability for the nation’s strategic Iron and Steel/Manufacturing Sector of the Economy. -Diversification and Industrialisation of the economy through upstream and downstream industries which supply or receive inputs from NIOMCO. -Increased National Revenue through Profit Tax, Sales Tax, Tenement Rate, Ground Rent, PAYE, etc. -Contribution to National Infrastructure, namely; Rail Lines, Power Lines, Housing, Rural Roads, Processing Plants, Dams/Water Supply Systems, etc.
