Anglo American has started blending Kumba iron ore fines with Minas Rio pellet feed at China's Caofeidian port, and the new product is named Anglo American Atlantic Fines, or AAA fines, an official of the company revealed.
"By blending Minas Rio's pellet feed with Kumba's iron ore fines, we are able to offer a high-grade sinter feed with an iron content of approximately 65%, very low contaminant levels and excellent sintering properties - a product that exactly matches mills' requirements," said Timo Smit, Anglo American's executive head of iron ore marketing.
Blended 65% Fe AAA fines was produced from 64% Fe Kumba fines and 67% Fe Minas Rio concentrate.
Smit disclosed that the company successfully completed blending the first batch of around 20,000 mt of AAA fines product at the Caofeidian port on Monday.
