Sumitomo Metal to make use of iron from nickel ore

Development of Technology to Make Use of Iron from Nickel Ore Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd produces nickel cobalt mixed sulfides using HPAL, technology in the Philippines and the tailing left by this technology contains iron in the form of hematite. However, the grade of this hematite is low at approximately 30% to 40% and as such cannot be used as a raw material for iron and steel, meaning it is subject to disposal in landfills.
