A clash of American steel titans could now define the next generation of mining on Minnesotaâs Iron Range, as U.S. Steel emerged Thursday with interest in the Nashwauk mineral leases long pursued by industry rival Cleveland-Cliffs.
Their interest comes a week after state officials said they initiated a lease termination process with Mesabi Metallics, the Essar Global-controlled company that has failed to develop the Nashwauk site since 2008, fueling speculation that Cliffs was next in line to gain control of the stateâs minerals.
U.S. Steelâs seemingly sudden interest could complicate matters for the state Department of Natural Resources and Executive Council as they weigh the future of the embattled project. Cliffs has been an outspoken suitor of the state leases for several years, while U.S. Steel had not publicly acknowledged interest in the property in recent years.

® Direct Reduction Plant on February 13 and first production of on-grade Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) a few days after. The plant is capable of producing both hot DRI (HDRI) and cold DRI (CDRI) and is equipped to transfer and charge HDRI to the nearby AQS steel mill to take advantage of the retained heat. The first successful charge of HDRI to the AQS Electric Arc Furnace #1 (EAF #1) was on March 24.

There is a growing appreciation that South Africa offers significant competitive advantages in the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia that can be used for domestic decarbonisation of transport and industry, as well as for export.
These include the country’s abundant wind and solar natural resources, cheap and available land and 50 years of experience in the commercial production of synthetic fuels using the Fischer-Tropsch process, says energy expert Chris Yelland, who this week hosted a webinar on renewable hydrogen and green powerfuels.
This view is corroborated in the report
Powerfuels and Green Hydrogen, produced by Thomas Roos and Jarrad Wright of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and released in February. The authors note that green powerfuels are a viable alternative to fossil fuels as their use avoids net emissions of CO2 and can be used in sectors where decarbonising is difficult and not easily driven by renewable energy, including road and

UK-based Liberty Steel Group, owned by Indian-origin metals tycoon Sanjeev Gupta, has signed MoUs with two European companies to set up France s first hydrogen-based steel making plant.
Liberty Steel Group is part of diversified GFG Alliance, which has a presence in India. Last year in February, GFG Alliance made a foray into the domestic steel industry with the acquisition of Adhunik Metaliks Ltd and its arm Zion Steel for about Rs 425 crore. LIBERTY Steel Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Paul Wurth and SHS to assess the building and operating of an industrial-sized, hydrogen-based steel making plant at Dunkerque in France.
