READ: Kogi Iron tests prove quality of local coal to supply Nigerian cast steel project
Kogi aims to become a producer of cast steel products by developing its 100%-owned Agbaja project in the Kogi State within the Republic of Nigeria.
The company recently completed test work to prove the viability of producing a suitable metallised product using Nigerian domestic coal sources.
The testing was undertaken by specialist coal consultant Torex and both coal sources used in the program have the capacity to supply 100% of Agbaja’s needs and are within 70 kilometres of the project.
