TSX-V-listed Tsodilo Resources has entered into a research collaboration with the Department of Chemical, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) and Morupule Coal Mine (MCM) to undertake metallurgical studies with respect to the potential of generating a pellet feed and direct reduced iron (DRI) product from the Xaudum Iron Formation (XIF) using its magnetite and MCM’s coal as a reductant. Commercially, these high-grade pellets and DRI product from Tsodilo’s wholly owned Xaudum project, in Botswana, could be used to produce steel within Botswana, the Southern African region and internationally.
