Essar Steel Minnesota LLC (ESML), the US subsidiary of Essar Steel, has inked a 10-year agreement with ArcelorMittal USA for supply of 3.5 million tonnes (MT) annually of iron ore pellets.

However, the financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

ESML's diverse product portfolio includes standard, flux and DR grade iron ore pellets and the company will be the only producer capable of producing all three types of pellets in Unites States.   

ArcelorMittal, USA's Executive Vice President for Finance, Planning and Procurement John Brett said: "This off-take agreement is consistent with our strategy of securing long term supply of critical raw materials within the region, and it provides material that meets the stringent standards of our blast furnaces".   

Essar Steel Minnesota LLC has about 2 billion tonnes of measured, indicated and inferred magnetite resources located in the western end of the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota. Of this, about 1.7 billion tonnes are proven and probable reserves. The company also has about 290 MT of hematite resources. It is presently constructing a 7 MT per annum iron ore pellet plant at Nashwauk in Northern Minnesota, at an investment of $1.7 billion.
