In Thursday’s earnings statement, U.S. Steel’s CEO said that last month they produced their first DR grade pellets at Keetac.
The pellets are feedstock for direct reduced iron, DRI, which is a critical input for sustainable steelmaking, per the company.
The $150 million dollar investment at the mine is part of the Best for All strategy.
The company broke ground in the fall of 2022.
