Kogi moves to advance Nigerian iron project

ASX-listed Kogi Iron is advancing its Agbaja project, in Nigeria, towards development following successful tests conducted to determine the smelting characteristics of the project’s ore. Kogi was hoping to build an initial mining operation alongside a 250 000 t/y steel product processing plant at Agbaja. The long-term plan was for a major scale operation of around 5-million tonnes a year.
