   Vale to expand iron ore output by 30pct to 450 million tonnes in 2 years
   
   Brazilian mining giant Vale SA last week said that it will expand its iron ore production capacity to 450 million tonnes from the present 340 million tonnes in two years to gain a bigger market share, but it could also lead to an industry reshuffle and shakeout.
   
   Mr Murilo Ferreira president & CEO of Vale said in Beijing last week that the company will raise its annual capacity by 30% in the next two years, especially to provide China with more high quality iron ore products.
   
   Mr Ferreira told “Though weak iron ore demand and low prices have hit the company in recent years, it does not plan to cut iron ore capacity. Instead, it will adjust output according to the market changes.”
   
   Mr Ferreira told “The Chinese government has come out with strict environmental protection laws, which require steel mills to reduce emissions. Vale is happy to provide iron ore products with high iron content and low impurity, thereby helping the Chinese government fight pollution.”

   Italian steel magnate Mr Fabio Riva arrested in Ilva case in Italy after extradition from UK
   
   Published on Sun, 07 Jun 2015 102 times viewed
   
   Reuters reported that Italy's financial police have arrested the former CEO of steel maker Ilva after he was extradited from Britain on charges he committed crimes against the environment and fraud at Europe's biggest factory by output capacity.
   
   Mr Fabio Riva was taken into custody late on Friday at Rome's Fiumicino airport where he arrived from London after being extradited at the request of magistrates in Milan and Taranto, who are investigating the case. Police took Riva to a prison near Taranto where he will be questioned by magistrates.
   
   Ilva was put under special administration in 2013 after magistrates seized EUR 8.1 billion from its owners the Riva family amid allegations by prosecutors that toxic emissions at its main plant in the southern Italian city of Taranto caused abnormally high rates of cancer.
   
   Riva was first sought for arrest for conspiracy to commit crimes against the environment in November 2012. That trial has yet to begin. In 2014 he received a second arrest warrant for committing fraud against the state. In the first degree trial, he was convicted and sentenced to more than six years in prison. He is appealing that verdict.

   BHPB CEO warns that oversupply to keep iron ore prices lower for longer
   
   Published on Sun, 07 Jun 2015 60 times viewed
   
   Bloomberg reported that mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd delivered a sombre warning to global commodity markets that oversupply is very much here to stay. Mr Andrew Mackenzie CEO of BHPB sail last week in Canberra that tumbling prices are creating a testing environment for commodity producers, while demand is slowing to more routine levels amid a transition in China’s economy away from investment led growth
   
   He told “In many markets, recently installed low-cost supply can now be stretched to meet growing demand. Incremental supply, induced during periods of higher prices, will take longer to absorb and this means over-supply may persist for some time.”
   
   Ha also said “The speed at which prices have returned to long run levels for each commodity has varied as a function of the time taken for low cost supply to come to market.”
   
   Amid calls for limits on iron ore production and for a parliamentary inquiry into export strategy, he said that BHP doesn’t see any logic in reducing its output of the steel raw material. He said “It is unproductive for Australia to cut or stall low-cost and profitable supply when the cycle drops. It destroys value, penalizes shareholders, customers and employees and disrupts the power of open markets.”
   
   Expansion by the biggest iron ore producers, including BHP and Vale SA, will see a global surplus swell to 215 million tonnes in 2018 from 45 million this year, UBS Group AG estimates.

   UK Unions to meet on Monday over strike action at Tata Steel
   
   Published on Sun, 07 Jun 2015 46 times viewed
   
   Trade unions- Community, Unite, GMB and UCATT - will meet next week on Monday to decide on the "strike action" on Tata Steel's proposal to scrap the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS).
   
   A Community spokesperson told PTI "The National Trade Union Steel Coordinating Committee, which brings together Community, Unite, GMB and UCATT unions, will meet early next week to determine the next stage of action.”
   
   A senior member from another union, who did not wished to be quoted, said that the meeting is scheduled for Monday and the members will deliberate on whether to go for a 'strike' or a 'short of strike' action.
   
   If the unions decide to go for a strike, the Community spokesperson said: "Unions would have to give 7 days notice to the company of any action (strike or short of strike)."
   
   Last week, trade unions voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike action after a ballot of steel workers was sought on a dispute over the existing BSPS.

   CBI arrests 7 in old illegal iron ore export case
   
   IANS reported that the Central Bureau of Investigation on last Wednesday arrested seven people, including Karnataka lawmaker Mr B Nagendra in a mining case related to illegal export of iron ore from Karnataka's Belikeri port. Other six who were arrested under the Prevention of Corruption Act and various sections of the Indian Penal Code are K. Nagaraj of Eagle Logistics & Traders, Ajay Kaharbanda of Greentex mining company, and their accomplices Yerribaba, Rani Samyukta, Farhan Shiek and Nandini.
   
   A CBI spokesperson told IANS "All the seven accused were arrested for further investigation into their alleged role in the illegal export of iron ore in 2009-10 and remanded to judicial custody till June 8.”
   
   An independent legislator, Mr Nagandra represents Kudligi constituency in the mineral-rich Ballari district in northern Karnataka. A former Bharatiya Janata Party lawmaker, he was arrested earlier in other mining cases and has been out on bail since in December 2014.
   
   The state Lokayukta had accused six lawmakers from Ballari district of being involved in the illegal export of 3.5 million tonnes of iron ore, extracted from illegal mines in the region during the BJP rule in the state.

   JP Morgan sees more job cuts in Australian iron ore minors
   
   AAP reported that although Australia's iron ore miners have been boosted by higher prices in recent days, but analysts predict further job losses in the industry in the year ahead.
   
   Shares in Australian iron ore producers are further on last Friday as the price of iron ore traded around a three month high of USD 64.77 per tonne, more than 35 per cent above the 10 year low of USD 47 hit in February.
   
   But JP Morgan analyst Mr Tom Kennedy says the mining industry is bracing for more job losses over the next 12 months, as private resources firms plan to slash capital expenditure. He wrote "We expect further job shedding in the resources sector as we descend the capex cliff. Recently announced spending plans are indicative of a further 12 per cent fall in mining employment in the next 12 months, equivalent to 0.2 per cent of the labor force."
   
   Mr Kennedy added that resources investment had fallen by two per cent of overall economic growth in the past 18 months, and based on mining firms' investment intentions, a similar sized decline is likely over the next year.
   
   Around AUD 80 billion in mining projects have been cancelled since the final quarter of 2014, and labor intensity of the production phase of the mining boom is significantly less than in the preceding investment phase. More than 50,000 jobs have been shed across the iron ore and coal sectors since 2012.

    Australian trade deficit blows out to record AUD 3.89 billion as mineral export hit
    
    AAP reported that Australia has notched up its highest monthly trade deficit on record, driven largely by a slump in coal and iron ore exports. Australia's trade balance deficit ballooned to AUD 3.89 billion in April, following a revised deficit of AUD 1.23 billion for the previous month.
    
    The Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed on last Thursday that while exports fell six per cent, imports rose four per cent. Some AUD 1.6 billion of the AUD 2.7 billion rise in the deficit between March and April was accounted for by lower revenue for coal, iron ore, fossil fuels and other minerals. Annual exports to China, a major buyer of iron ore, hit a 21-month low in April, and were down 19.2 per cent on the same month in 2014. Partially offsetting this fall were exports to India, which hit a record AUD 3.5 billion, up 28.5 per cent from April last year. On the imports side, the biggest contributor to the blowout was capital goods, the machinery, equipment and vehicles used by businesses, which jumped AUD 546 million to AUD 6.1 billion.
    
    JP Morgan economist Mr Tom Kennedy described the trade data as a disaster, noting it was the worst result since records began in 1971. He said “Tumbling coal and iron ore exports were to blame. The drag was evenly split between iron ore and coal, with values in each category sinking by more than AUD 800 million.”
    
    Mr Kennedy said “The slump in coal exports was probably temporary and linked to bad weather delaying shipments from ports along the east coast in April. Weakness in iron ore was more fundamental, pointing to both lower shipment volumes and prices for Australia's biggest export.”

    IRC new iron ore mine to come stream this year despite delays
    
    South China Morning Post reported that shares of IRC, a Russian iron ore miner serving the northeast China market, surged as much as 18.8 per cent on Friday after it said its new mine was expected to come on stream in the second half of the year and run at full capacity in the fourth quarter. Its share price was also buoyed by IRC's announcement that work on a 2.2km bridge linking Siberia and northeast China had moved forward and was scheduled for completion by the end of next year. It will cut the transportation cost of iron ore produced at its Kimkanskoye & Sutarskoye (K&S) mine by half, or USD 5.50 a tonne.
    
    Mr Jay Hambro IRC's chairman and controlling shareholder said in a filing to Hong Kong's stock exchange “K&S remains capable of generating good [profit] margins despite the current low price environment.”
    
    IRC has cut the targeted cash operating cost of K&S between next year and 2018 from a previous estimate of USD 49 a tonne to USD 31 a tonne, after the rouble depreciated sharply against the US dollar and a change in its mining plan. The change means the firm will concentrate on extracting ores from areas in the mine with lower production costs, although this has cut the mine's estimate production life to 20 years from 30 years.
    
    Construction of K&S was originally scheduled to be completed by the middle of last year. Contractor China National Electric Equipment paid IRC USD 19.6 million as compensation for completion to be delayed to the end of last year. Now that the USD 500 million project has been further delayed to the second half of this year, IRC is in talks over further compensation from the contractor.

    Slaat nergens op dat de koers de afgelopen zo sterk daalt. Heeft vooral met Griekenland te maken, waar de Amerikanen veel minder een boodschap aan hebben.

    Moody's: vooruitzichten staalsector stabiel
    
    Gepubliceerd op 8 jun 2015 om 18:05 | Views: 702
    
    LONDEN (AFN) - De vooruitzichten voor de Europese staalindustrie zullen voor heel 2015 stabiel blijven. Dat schrijft kredietbeoordelaar Moody's in een maandag gepubliceerd rapport.
    
    Volgens Moody's is er wel sprake van een opwaartse trend sinds het einde van 2014, mede door betere groeivooruitzichten. Maar dit is niet voldoende om de stabiele verwachting te wijzigen. Zo staan door de lagere prijzen de marges onder druk, vooral voor bedrijven die veel handelen met de Verenigde Staten.
    
    Moody's herhaalde zijn verwachting over de capaciteitsbenutting, die dit jaar tussen 75 en 80 procent zal liggen. Voor het hele jaar verwacht Moody's dat de vraag naar staal met 1 tot 1,5 procent groeit, door bijvoorbeeld de groeiende vraag in de Europese auto-industrie en de bouwsector.

    TATA Steel wins environmental award for dust mitigation
    
    Published on Mon, 08 Jun 2015 68 times viewed
    
    TATA Steel has received an environmental award from Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust for its work to mitigate dust emissions from its steelworks in Scunthorpe. TATA Steel was presented with the overall Environmental Award 2015 as well as the Business Award at the Trust’s annual awards ceremony last month (May 21), with the panel of judges chaired by environmentalist David Bellamy.
    
    According to the Trust, the Scunthorpe steelworks falls within an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) “because of elevated dust (PM10) levels caused by wind blowing dust off the site”.
    
    The steel firm is currently awaiting a new permit from the Environment Agency under the Industrial Emissions Directive. The Agency previously mooted setting a deadline of March 2016 by which Tata Steel would have to make improvements to the Scunthorpe facility in order to cut its emissions of sulphur dioxide in compliance with EU directives. In addition, planning applications to build houses close to the steel works have faced difficulty because of the poor air quality in the area
    
    However, the Trust recognised Tata Steel’s work to reduce dust blowing from its site in the AQMA, which included a project to create green space to mitigate wind speed, which is seen as a major reason for the dust dispersion.
    
    In addition, the firm sought to maintain soil moisture levels to reduce the problem of dry soil erosion and to improve soil stabilisation through tree roots and leaf decomposition, as well as improving biodiversity through new vegetation.
    
    More than 154,000 trees have also now been planted in the area by the firm, while four miles of green embankment have been created with 7.5 acres of the project area seeded with wildflowers, according to the Trust.
    
    Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said: “Creating a green space has not only benefited nature, it has made a more pleasant environment for people to work in and proved significantly cost effective compared to the alternative.”
    
    Phil Togwell, principal scientist at Environmental Technology, who led the Tata dust mitigation project, commented: “The project took two years to implement and 154,000 trees have been planted, helping to remove gaseous air pollution such as ozone, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Trees remove additional pollutants by intercepting airborne particles that are associated with them, as well as improving soil stabilisation to help mitigate flood impacts and soil erosion.”
    
    He added: “The ‘Greening’ of the Tata Steel Scunthorpe site has been happening over the last decade through roadside grassing and landscape maintenance. This established maintenance helps to create a barrier and a dust collection area to reduce dust run off back onto the road surface, making the site cleaner. I am delighted that we have been recognised for our efforts and would like to thank everyone involved in the project.”

    Port Talbot hosts project to test how steelworks algae can combat climate change
    
    A partnership project is showing how Tata Steel and Swansea University are developing technology to manage carbon dioxide produced as a by-product of steelmaking operations. The collaboration known as ACCOMPLISH (Algal Carbon Capture and BiOMass-Linked Supply chain) is a unique pilot which is part of a wider Swansea University project, EnAlgae.
    
    Based at the Port Talbot steelworks, the project is analysing the capacity for natural algae to use carbon dioxide as a nutrient for growth. The project contributes to Tata Steel’s commitment to reducing unavoidable carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing operations.
    
    ‘Bio-reactors’ similar to the research units at Port Talbot were on display at the recent Hay Festival as part of Tata Sons’ sponsorship of the event. The display’s purpose was to inform and educate festival-goers about the potential of algae as a sustainable resource.
    
    Tata Steel’s Technical Director, Martin Brunnock, said: “We are committed to further improving the sustainability of our processes. It is projects like this, with leading academic partners, such as Swansea University here in Wales, which are making us leaders in the field of sustainable steelmaking.”
    
    Dr Alla Silkina, from Swansea University, said: “This collaboration with EnAlgae is an important example of how working closely with industry can yield practical results for researchers and businesses. We have been able to use the Port Talbot by-product streams as an algal growth nutrient. In addition, a biomass is cultured which can be used for energy (biomethane) production or potentially as a fish feed.” The project could have all kinds of positive implications for businesses and sustainability.”
    
    The ACCOMPLISH project may grow, joining a series of initiatives which will add to the strong track record of Tata Steel in improving the environmental impact of steelmaking.
    
    The EnAlgae project is led by Swansea University and funded by the European Union under the INTERREG IVB North West Europe programme. EnAlgae unites experts and observers from 7 EU member states to determine the potential benefits of algae as a future sustainable energy source.

    OMC to double ore production by 2019
    
    PTI reported that the Odisha government last week decided to enhance the production capacity of the Odisha Mining Corporation to 20 million tonnes by 2019.
