Dilband & Chagai Iron Ore (Hematite & Magnetite)
Supplying high-grade hematite and magnetite iron ore (Fe 45%-64%) from Dilband and Chagai deposits. Low phosphorus, optimal Fe:SiO2 ratio for blast furnaces and DRI.
- SGS / AHK Certified
- •
- Bulk & Container FCL
- •
- Origin: Dilband (Mastung District) & Chagai Belts
Mineral Concession & Provenance
Balochistan hosts Pakistan’s most strategically significant iron ore reserves. The sedimentary oolitic hematite deposits of Dilband (over 200 million tons in Mastung District) and the high-grade contact-metasomatic magnetite deposits in Chagai provide the backbone of our iron ore export program. We provide direct shipping lump ore (DSO) and screened fines tailored for sinter plants, direct reduced iron (DRI) modules, and blast furnaces.

Grain Sizing & Particle Distribution
Industrial Off-Take & Usability
Integrated Blast Furnaces
Premium lump hematite with low degradation index during reduction, lowering coke consumption in blast furnace operations.
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI / Sponge Iron)
High-Fe magnetite lumps with low gangue content suited for gas-based and coal-based DRI rotary kilns.
Portland Cement Manufacture
Low-grade iron ore fines utilized as an iron-corrective flux in raw cement meal to optimize ferric modulus.
Heavy Aggregate & Counterweights
High-density magnetite crushed stone used for underwater pipe coating and marine ballast counterweights.
Mine-to-Port Supply Chain
Integrated handling and transport protocols guarantee that cargo arrives without contamination, moisture elevation, or grain degradation.
