Steel mill plans dropped for Jervis Bay complex
A spokesman said Australia may be approached to join a much smaller steel complex at Jervis Bay using new technology. The U S and M consortium behind the larger plan includes August Thyssen and Kaiser Steel Armco Stel. The original three-mill concept proved uneconomic, but a mini plant using direct-melt electric furnaces could avoid major capital and offer semi-finished steel sourced from local ore via a process free of pollutants. WA mine areas were allocated to A S and MM in recent days, while NSW ministries defer comment. Wollongong officials say Armco announcement will be treated with caution and have not discussed the plan.
