About
business Opportunity in Egypt – Iron Ore & Steel
Egypt presents a potential investment opportunity for developing an integrated iron ore beneficiation and downstream steel-processing industry, leveraging confirmed banded iron ore resources at Abu Marwat (approximately 6.5 million tonnes) and Abu Diwan (approximately 24 million tonnes), with combined resources of approximately 30.5 million tonnes.
Potential investment activities include:
-
Mining and extraction of banded iron ore.
-
Establishment of beneficiation plants to upgrade the ore and improve its iron content.
-
Production of beneficiated iron ore/concentrate as feedstock for steelmaking.
-
Development of downstream facilities for semi-finished steel products, including billets and related intermediate products.
-
Potential integration with existing Egyptian steelmaking and manufacturing industries.
Strategic opportunity:
The project could increase the local value added of Egypt’s iron ore resources, reduce the need for imported iron-bearing feedstock, and establish an integrated mine-to-steel value chain. Egypt's strategic location also offers potential for supplying steel inputs and semi-finished products to African, Arab, Mediterranean and other regional markets.
