WHY CHROMITE?
•Chromite is a strategic mineral used mainly as an
alloy to produce stainless steel (>90% produced)
•There are no substitutes for chromite in the
production of stainless steel 6
•China is the leading consumer of chromite in the
world accounting for 70% of the world’s production
•The value of high-grade chromite (>40% CR2O3) is
US$400-$450 per tonne delivered to port (equivalent
to 3.5% Ni or 8.5% Cu)
