FOR IRON ORE ASSET OWNERS

Turn stranded iron units into a new operating asset

FeCycle helps asset owners convert suitable low-grade material and waste liabilities into premium products and shared cash flow—without competing with the capital needed for core mining operations.

A lower-friction route to monetisation

  • Capital-free facility delivery. Under the primary Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model, FeCycle arranges the processing facility’s capital and operating funding.

  • Turnkey execution. One coordinated route through screening, testwork, design, commercial structuring, funding, build, commissioning, operations and product marketing.

  • Faster to market. Targeting approximately 15 months from Final Investment Decision (FID) to first revenue, materially faster than conventional new mine development.

  • Limited operational disruption. Modular facilities designed to sit alongside existing operations and use established site infrastructure.

  • Premium products. Targeting higher-grade iron ore products that can support blending, premium pricing and lower-emissions steel pathways, with specifications determined by testwork and buyer requirements.

  • Mine-life uplift. Potential to convert subeconomic material into new reserves or inventory and extend the productive life of existing operations.

  • Liability reduction. Potential to reduce stockpile and tailings volumes, closure pressure, bonding requirements and long-term waste-management costs.

Timing and all product, cost, recovery and environmental outcomes are project-specific and subject to testwork, agreements, permitting, funding and execution.

Who we work with

Major producers

Large historic stockpiles, tailings and sub-specification material where a funded BOO structure can create incremental production without competing with the core mine plan.

Junior run-of-mine producers

Operations where beneficiation can improve product grade, margin, marketability and mine life, but in-house capital or processing expertise is constrained.

Steel and by-product producers

Iron-bearing waste streams created alongside steelmaking or other commodities where recovery can add a new revenue line while reducing storage and handling costs.

Independent and legacy asset owners

Stockpiles, port-side material, closed or idled operations and historic deposits where FeCycle can provide the development, funding, operating and route-to-market capability.

What we need from an asset partner

  • Collaboration on target selection, sampling, pilot testing and technical evaluation.

  • Access to representative material and a secure long-term feedstock arrangement.

  • Historical assay, mineralogy, production, resource, survey and operating data.

  • A suitable site footprint and interfaces with existing licences and permits.

  • Power, water, effluent, waste management and operational support.

  • Road, rail and/or port access for product movement.

  • Constructive engagement with local communities, regulators and other stakeholders.
