Steel is about to become cheaper and cleaner

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Low-emission steel platform Metal Logic has secured a strategic location in Western Australia’s iron ore–rich Pilbara region to deploy its ‘smelting as a service’ model.

The company will utilize its Australian-invented, modular and scalable array smelting technology at industrial scale with an initial array deployment of 1Mtpa then ramping up mass production from Melbourne.

The technology, invented and developed for commercialisation in Australia, enables the processing of lower-grade ores, extends mine life, and offers a cost advantage to local manufacturers—ushering in a new era of jobs and regional resilience.

Chief Executive Joel Nicholls confirmed that Metal Logic has secured land from a private entity within 20 kilometres of the key rail lines that transport more than half of the Pilbara’s iron ore to the coast for export.

“Metal Logic intends to deploy its modular, scalable array smelter at this location, delivering our ‘clean steel’ solution to the market,” Mr. Nicholls stated.

“Our platform allows treatment of lower-grade iron ore, enabling operations to continue below previous cut-off grades and unlocking previously stranded or care-and-maintenance deposits,” he explained.

“We are expanding our team and seeking people with the skills needed for our next deployment phase. Metal Logic is already evaluating stranded and care-and-maintenance iron ore resources to determine their suitability for our process. We need experts, from resource assessors to engineers, to help us scale our solution.”

Focusing on thermodynamic efficiency to minimize costs and lower emissions, Metal Logic’s technology is economically viable without requiring government subsidies.

“We aim to unlock previously stranded mineral resources and deliver value-added processing to regions, allowing taxpayer funds to be directed to other priorities such as education, health, and manufacturing,” said Mr Nicholls.

Mr. Nicholls added that Metal Logic has received strong backing from global steel and iron ore industry leaders, further validating the strategic importance of its new Pilbara site, located close to major rail and Port Hedland.

Unlocking a New Era in Steel and Resource Value Chains

For more than a century, steel production has relied on furnaces that waste up to half their input energy. Even modern blast furnaces and their “green” alternatives operate at only 25–65% of the thermodynamic ceiling of approximately 7.5 gigajoules per tonne of iron^[1]. As a result, entrenched reliance on coal, coke, and outdated furnaces generates over 2.8 billion tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually^[2], while keeping steel prices high and locked into inefficient chemistry.

Metal Logic’s approach aims to reset the steel value chain by supporting two types of customers:

Resource owners with stranded assets:

The technology makes lower-grade ores economically feasible, extends mine life, and reduces environmental impact by processing deposits that would otherwise remain untapped. Locating smelters near these resources also minimizes shipping inefficiencies and keeps value creation local, potentially adding up to $400 USD in value per tonne of ore retained in Australia—creating jobs and new industries.

Steel buyers seeking traceability:

Metal Logic offers steel with traceability and verifiable CO2 footprints. Advanced electrochemical, photonic, and molecular-scale separation methods allow efficiency beyond traditional methods, reducing the need for bulk shipping of ore and waste.

The Purpose:

Australia has long exported raw ore and repurchased high-value manufactured goods. Metal Logic’s platform aims to “industrialize” resource-rich regions, extend mine life, reduce environmental footprints, and supply downstream industries with lower-cost, traceable steel. For miners, it unlocks marginal resources; for manufacturers and nations, it delivers affordable, cleaner steel at scale. For communities, it means jobs and resilience—not the loss seen with past industry closures.

By bringing miners and steel buyers together on a single platform, the company hopes to deliver environmental and economic benefits for all stakeholders.

About Metal Logic

Metal Logic operates research, development, laboratory, smelter development, and production facilities in Victoria, with offices in Perth and Melbourne. With its newly secured site near Port Hedland in the Pilbara, the company is advancing the commercialization of modular, scalable clean steel smelting technology that aims to provide steel at a lower cost than traditional black carbon methods.

“We must transform pain into restored dignity, silence into speech, and commitments into concrete reparations.” 

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After more than three decades of armed, political, and communal conflict, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is taking a historic stand for the more than 10 million victims of conflict-related sexual violence. With the creation of FONAREV, a Congolese public institution established by government mandate, survivors will now receive long-overdue recognition, protection, and reparation under Law No. 22/06, signed into law on December 26, 2022.

“We must transform pain into restored dignity, silence into speech, and commitments into concrete reparations.” said President Félix Tshisekedi.

This unprecedented effort is championed by the Distinguished First Lady of the DRC, Madame Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, United Nations Global Champion for the Prevention of Sexual Violence, who has dedicated her career to amplifying the voices of survivors.

“It is time to guarantee all victims their right to the truth and, even more importantly, to justice, so that such a tragedy never happens again.” said the Distinguished First Lady.

Conflict-related sexual violence has left deep scars: profound physical and psychological trauma, lasting social isolation, economic insecurity, and the rejection of survivors by their families and communities. Beyond the individual, the very dignity of the Congolese people has been violated across generations.

To bring global awareness to this urgent call for justice, FONAREV will host a high-level conference during the 80th United Nations General Assembly. The event will be open to accredited members of the international press.

Conference Details:
Date & Time: September 22, 2025–11:00 AM
Location: New York City (venue details provided upon confirmation)
RSVP: Please confirm attendance with the media contact listed below

To expand this vital message to the public, FONAREV presents “Art for Peace and Resilience,” a powerful art exhibition debuting works of Congolese artists curated by Aimé Mpane. When language proves inadequate to articulate the magnitude of human suffering, art functions as a medium for recognition, interpretation, and hope. This exhibition brings together Congolese artists from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa, in the state capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), to construct a shared narrative of victims of sexual violence emblematic of resilience and hope, aim to raise global awareness about the plight of victims in the DRC and the Genocost, while advocating for peace through the universal language of art.

Art Exhibition Details:
Event: Fonarev // Art for Peace and Resilience 
Location: 15 E 40th Street New York, NY 10016
Dates: September 23rd – 26th, 9:00 AM -6:00 PM

“Genocost is not just a concept or a symbolic date. It is the embodiment of a duty: to raise awareness, to recognize, and to make amends. It also reminds us that memory is a right, and that any society worthy of the name must honor its dead with truth and courage.” added the Director General of FONAREV, Patrick Fata.

About FONAREV
FONAREV (Fonds National de Réparations des Victimes des violences sexuelles liées aux conflits et des crimes contre la paix et la sécurité de l’humanité) is a Congolese public institution mandated to establish the fundamental principles of protection and reparation for victims of conflict-related sexual violence and crimes against peace and humanity. FONAREV is funded by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and tasked with implementing Law No. 22/06 to guarantee victims access to justice and dignity.
