Pig iron production has started at ‘Kimberley. Cominco announced yesterday that thelr iron plant is now in operation, although not yet at its full! capacity of 109 tons per day. This plant, which is the firat stage of a major iron and steel production project at Kimberley, was constructed at & cost of $7,- 500,000. The iron produced this month is the first to be made in Western Canada from western ore. .

This is roasted to eliminate sulphur, which fs utilized to make sulphuric acid for the Company’s chemical fertilizer plant at Kim- berley. ‘The, resulting iron oxide is then formed’ into small pellels, and with the addition’ of coke, is sin- tered to provide a material suitable for the reduction furnace, - Furnace feed is composed of sinter, coke and flux. In the elec- tric furnace, which measures 33 feet in dlameter by 20 feet high, the iron, oxide is reduced to metallic iron.
