We are global suppliers of iron ore from South Africa. We trade iron ore in Lumps, Fines, Concentrates and Pellets. Our primary focus is export of iron ore to Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany and Netherlands.
Commodity profile
Iron is the second most abundant metal in the earthâ??s crust (after aluminium). The iron ores, which are mainly the oxides, are reduced to iron with carbon (coke) at high temperatures in a blast furnace. Over 97% of this is converted directly to steel without even being allowed to solidify after leaving the furnace in which it is made. A relatively small amount is used as cast iron and wrought iron.
Iron ore is a key commodity and vital product portfolio for Berium Group. As rapidly growing suppliers of iron ore from South Africa, our approach is to lift the ore from where it is produced in South Africa and deliver it directly to industrial end users or trading houses in Asia and Europe where it is demanded.
Our offer for iron ore is priced off the main price indices. Berium Group is also able to supply niche products such as the iron ore pellets and fines for foundries, iron additives and ferroalloys.
Iron Ore Grades
Berium Group has reliable long term access and can assure steadfast supply of 64.5% Fe Base, 62% Fe Base, 58.3% Fe Base and 58.0 % Fe Base grades of iron ore. However the Fe% of every shipment may vary. If the iron ore shipped is at a higher or lower percentage than the Fe % Contracted Base, then the price paid for the shipment will escalate or reduce in accordance to the percentage of Fe in the ore that is actually supplied
We trade the whole spectrum of iron ore products and grades. With origination teams in all the main exporting countries, we use our extensive international network to connect specific buyers with particular grades of stock. We source cost competitive supplies through our close relationships with the major producers and provide support for smaller mining concerns
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of Mangnetie (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe) hematite (Fe2O3 69.9%) goethite ((FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe) Limonite (FeO(OH) n(H2O) 55% Fe) siderite (FeCO3, 48.2%, Fe) Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite, typically greater than about 60% iron, are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, and can be fed directly into iron-marking blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel. In 2011 the Finacial Times quoted Christopher LaFemina, mining analyst at Barclays Capital, saying that iron ore is " More integral to the global economy than any other commodity except perhaps oil".

* Iron ore is found in nature in the form of rocks, mixed with other elements. By means of various industrial processes incorporating cutting-edge technology, iron ore is processed and then sold to steel companies. The primary use of iron ore (98%) is to make steel. The remaining 2% is used in various other applications, such as: powdered iron for certain types of steels, magnets, auto parts and catalysts. radioactive iron (iron 59) for medicine and as a tracer element in biochemical and metallurgical research 5.5 -6 mm 8 mm 10 mm 12 mm 16 mm 20 mm 25 mm 32 mm 36 mm 40 mm 50 mm
Our iron ore is hematite. Hematite is a reddish-brown iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3. Hematite ores in Nigeria usually contain between 50% and 70% iron, making them ideal for iron ore production. Commodity 1 provides Iron ore directly from the mine site to the global market. There are no middlemen involved, only our staff on the ground. We strive to organize smooth and transparent transactions. We believe in building long-term relationships with our customers. According to a report by the World Steel Association, global steel production is expected to reach 1.8 billion tons in 2025, from 1.6 billion tons in 2020. This increase in steel production will increase demand for iron ore. The global iron market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2022 and 2027.
