High-Grade Iron Ore for Global Steel Production & Supply Chains
Samanar offers premium iron ore from certified mines, engineered for high metallization, low impurities, consistent chemical composition and seamless logistics—making it the preferred choice for blast furnaces, direct‐reduced iron (DRI) plants, and integrated steel mills worldwide.
Iron Ore
About Product
Iron ore is the foundational raw material in steel manufacturing—accounting for more than 95% of iron used in steel production globally. Samanar’s iron ore portfolio includes lump ore, fines, concentrates and pellets, with Fe (iron) contents tailored for various steelmaking technologies and regional supply chains.
With sourcing from sustainable mines, rigorous beneficiation and quality assurance protocols, Samanar supplies iron ore that delivers:
High iron content (Fe ≥ 62%)
Low levels of phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), silica (SiO₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃)
Excellent sintering and pelletizing performance
Efficient melting behaviour in blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and direct reduction units (DRIs)
Consistent sizing and moisture control for logistic handling
Whether you are a steel producer, re‐roller, pellet plant operator or global trader, our iron ore solutions enable cost-effective feedstock supply, minimized climate footprint and improved production throughput.
Types of Iron Ore Supplied
Lump Ore
Natural lumps of iron ore with size typically between 30-80 mm, Fe content 54–62%. Lump ore requires minimal processing and is suited for blast furnace charge.
Fines
Fine particles (< 6 mm) requiring sintering or pelletizing. Fines are cost-effective but require processing infrastructure.
Iron Ore Concentrate
Upgraded ore with high Fe content (65–75%) achieved through beneficiation. Ideal for pellet feed or high‐grade steelmaking.
Pellets
Manufactured spheres of iron ore concentrate (6-16 mm) with high Fe content (> 64%) and optimized metallization for DRI, BF/BOF and EAF routes.
Product Features
Key Features & Advantages
- High Fe content for greater yield per tonne and lower energy consumption.
- Low impurity levels (P, S, A l₂O₃, SiO₂) resulting in fewer slag issues and higher furnace efficiency.
- Controlled size distribution, moisture and bulk density for optimized transport and charging.
- Multi‐origin sourcing offering supply reliability, competitive pricing and logistic flexibility.
- Full export documentation and logistic support (heat of mines, inspection certificates, shipping).
- Environmental and social compliance of mine operations supporting sustainable supply chains.
Global Supply Chain & Market Trends
Iron ore markets are driven by the balance of steel demand, mining output, freight costs, exchange rates and geopolitical factors. With the growth of infrastructure spending in Asia, Africa and Latin America, demand for high‐quality iron ore is rising. Samanar’s diversified supply model ensures availability in spite of shifting global dynamics.

Applications in Steel-Making
Iron ore supplied by Samanar is integral to various steel production routes:
Blast Furnace / BOF: Lump ore or pellets charged directly into BF with coke; optimal for integrated steel mills.
DRI/EAF Route: High‐grade pellets or HBI used in direct reduction followed by electric arc melting.
Cold & Hot Sheets Re-rolling: Good quality ore leads to high‐performance downstream steel sheet, coils, rebar.
Pig Iron & Foundry Applications: Specific ore blends for pig iron or foundry pig production.
