About Essar Metals & Mining

Essar is a diversified global business house with deep roots across Energy, Metals & Mining, Infrastructure and Tech & Retail. As Essar expands its global footprint, we are building a state-of-the-art iron ore mining and DR-grade pellet manufacturing facility in Nashwauk, Minnesota, USA — the first current mine developed on the Mesabi Range in nearly half a century.

The facility will produce DR-grade “Patriot Pellet”, a high-quality pellet designed for the next generation of steelmaking and the growing adoption of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology in the USA. Our current focus is to lead the transition towards green steel, with the development of an HBI/DRI plant and upstream complex progressing steadily.
