In this episode we chat to Farzad Nader, Director and COO of Red Paramount Iron, a Canadian emerging steel feed production company that is fully committed to reducing global emissions by producing zero-emission green steel feed. 

With over 25 years industry experience, Farzad is a professional engineer experienced in valuation, optimization, and complete development cycle of greenfield mining projects and expansion of existing mines and facilities. He has been involved in developing multi-billion-dollar mining projects in various locations and early-stage projects with Newmont and Teck Resources. He talks to us about Red Paramount Iron and how they are going to become the world’s leading supplier of green steel.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Red Paramount Iron is a Canadian emerging steel feed production company that is fully committed to reducing global emissions by producing zero emissions green steel feed.
• The company has a significant iron ore resource of around 527 million tons with high quality and low impurities, making it suitable for green steel production.
• The project is located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, which offers advantages such as existing infrastructure, access to low-cost electricity, and abundant water sources.
• The company has secured government funding and is in discussions with other investors to raise capital for the project.
• The management team has extensive experience in mining and is supported by a board of advisors with expertise in various areas.

BEST MOMENTS

"Steel production is one of the most pollutant industries. At the moment for every ton of steel that is being produced around 800 kilograms of coal is required." 

"The Canadian advantage is two things. All the Canadian iron ore, or majority, 95% of that is located in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec." 

"We have secured around four million dollars of government funding so far. We are also in discussions with some other investors to bring some additional funds." 

"The fact that the process is very easy, the infrastructure is available, we have access to low cost electricity, which brings the development cost much, much lower than developing a mine."
