Comments on the production information

  • THE DALMACIJA PLANT PRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 25,000 METRIC TONS OF FEMN, 6,000 METRIC TONS OF SIMN, AND 65,000 METRIC TONS OF FECR. TOTAL PRODUCTION IS ESTIMATED AT 96,000 METRIC TONS, AND TOTAL CAPACITY IS ESTIMATED AT 110,000 METRIC TONS PER YEAR. THE PLANT HAS ITS OWN OFFICES IN NEW YORK, MILAN, AND DUSSELDORF. ANY MATERIAL FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION IS SOLD AT INTERNATIONAL PRICES.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • THE DALMACIJA PLANT PRODUCES 110,000 METRIC TONS PER YEAR OF FERROALLOYS. IN 1990, THE DALMACIJA FACILITY PRODUCED 25,000 METRIC TONS OF FEMN AND NO FESI, 6,000 METRIC TONS OF SIMN, AND 65,000 METRIC TONS OF FECR. IN 1987, THE FERROSILICON FURNACE WAS CONVERTED IN ORDER TO DOUBLE FERROCHROME CAPACITY. FERROSILICON, THEREFORE, IS NO LONGER PRODUCED.

Comments on other economic factors

  • IN 1987, THE FESI FURNACE WAS CONVERTED TO DOUBLE THE FERROCHROME PRODUCTION.
