FeTech 2010

Silver Sponsor

Lanyard Sponsor

The Chinese dragon's appetite for Australian ore to feed its steel furnaces grows.

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.

Take your opportunity to receive a comprehensive update on iron ore developments from leading speakers and industry professionals with insight into the outlook for the industry now and into the future.

"The development of WA's large-scale magnetite projects have the potential to deliver massive gains to Australia; not least is the significant infrastructure investment that for our member companies alone totals more than $9.6 billion. With an estimated 8,600 new jobs in the construction phases as well as annual export revenue in excess of $6 billion, we think the importance of the magnetite projects are crucial to Australia’s long-term iron ore industry,"
