K&S mine, our flagship 3.2 million tonnes per annum project, produces high quality 65% iron ore concentrate and is operating at a high capacity. In the long term, we have the options to boost the Group’s production capacity by adding processing equipment to K&S (“Phase II”), and also by developing other exploration projects of IRC.
