Iron-ore output in 2007 increased by 20 per cent to 802,030 tonnes from 667,082 tonnes in 2006. They were produced from 12 mines located in Pahang, Johore, Perak and Terengganu. Most of the iron-ore mined were of low grade from mines with small reserves. The ores were consumed mainly by the local cement, and iron and steel plants. Malaysia’s steel industry also imports iron-ore in the form of lumps and pellets for their manufacturing requirements. Most of the imported iron-ore are sourced from Brazil, Chile and Bahrain.
