Brahmani River Pellets Ltd

At Brahmani River Pellets Ltd (BRPL), a wholly owned Stemcor project, we have assembled an experienced project team that is using well proven technology to take low grade fines and convert them to high grade pellets for consumption within Indian and for export to China and other markets.

BRPL has commenced construction of a beneficiation plant located at Barbil in the iron ore belt of Orissa, India, which will take fines from various mines, including AMTC and MISL, and refine them using grinding and magnetic separation processes.

The beneficiation plant will be connected by a 220 km underground slurry pipeline to a 4 million tonnes per annum pellet plant under construction at Kalinga Nagar in the district of Jajpur, close to both industrial development and port facilities, where the ore slurry will be balled and fired into pellets, the highest grade iron ore product used in steel production.

The project is progressing well and under current planning is expected to be commissioned mid 2012. With a range of feed grades available, BRPL will be able to tailor the cost and grade of pellet to meet market demand.
