Iron Ore

We are global suppliers of iron ore from South Africa. We trade iron ore in Lumps, Fines, Concentrates and Pellets. Our primary focus is export of iron ore to Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany and Netherlands.

Commodity profile

Iron is the second most abundant metal in the earth’s crust (after aluminium). The iron ores, which are mainly the oxides, are reduced to iron with carbon (coke) at high temperatures in a blast furnace.  Over 97% of this is converted directly to steel without even being allowed to solidify after leaving the furnace in which it is made.  A relatively small amount is used as cast iron and wrought iron.

Iron ore is a key commodity and vital product portfolio for Berium Group. As rapidly growing suppliers of iron ore from South Africa, our approach is to lift the ore from where it is produced in South Africa and deliver it directly to industrial end users or trading houses in Asia and Europe where it is demanded.

Our offer for iron ore is priced off the main price indices. Berium Group is also able to supply niche products such as the iron ore pellets and fines for foundries, iron additives and ferroalloys.

Iron Ore Grades

Berium Group has reliable long term access and can assure steadfast supply of 64.5% Fe Base, 62% Fe Base, 58.3% Fe Base and 58.0 % Fe Base grades of iron ore. However the Fe% of every shipment may vary.  If the iron ore shipped is at a higher or lower percentage than the Fe % Contracted Base, then the price paid for the shipment will escalate or reduce in accordance to the percentage of Fe in the ore that is actually supplied.

We deliver iron ore according to time lines as per specifications. To contact us for our corporate offer and further information, please send us your full details and requirements including maximum tonnage, contract period, and destination port to: louise@beriumgroup.com
