“Having served a career in mining of mainly iron making raw materials, I truly believe in the vision of Electra. The potential to use iron ore inputs with high impurity levels including phosphorous, silica, and alumina without any beneficiation, reduces the overall cost of steelmaking, reduces the upstream carbon and ESG footprint and creates new sources of economic value for the iron ore producers. This is very exciting!”
