Turkmenistan: Iron ore reserves of between 70Mt and 75Mt of around 20% iron recently discovered in the Turkmenbeshi district of western Turkmenistan could replace other ingredients in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) clinker production in the region, resulting in savings of US$10m/yr for producers. Trend News has reported that the deposits, located near Turkmencement’s 1.3Mt/yr integrated Kelete plant and Polimeks’ 1.0Mt/yr integrated Jebel plant, could sustain production for a century.
