UKREXPORT has direct access to miners of Iron Ore across Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Poltava regions of Ukraine, where up to 20 mining companies operate independently or corporately with Swiss and other West European headoffices. In particular, deposits of Iron Ore are explored in the vicinities of (towns of) Krivoy Rog, Belozerskoye, Kremenchug. The more rich iron minerals of natural 55% Fe – Hematite Ore, Martite Ore – lie down in depth till 500 meters, most layers being explored at 100 meters and 250 meters. The less rich iron minerals of natural 35% Fe (oxidated quartzites of Hematite Ore, Martite Ore) come up outward to surface. That’s why mining is carried out both from under and on the ground. Both these types of natural minerals are being crushed and sorted: small fraction 0-10mm goes for preliminary agglomeration (separation from Silica) but big lumps above 10mm after washing go directly for smelting at steel factories. Considering agglomeration, washing and magnetic concentration, higher grades of Iron Ore attain 65% Fe and more:

Fe 62-66%; FeO2 25% max; Al2O3 2% max; SiO2 10% max; CaO 3% max; MgO 2% max; MnO 1% max; P2O5 0.05% max; SO2 0.1% max

We can propose high grade 64% Fe +/- 2% up to 50,000MT on monthly basis and consider up to 100,000MT on spot basis. Trial lots up to 5,000MT monthly are easier to ship in containers, packed in jumbo bags or wrapped inside one big container bag. 100% T/T prepayment applies only, including first 2% even prior to main contract with miner.
