The mentioned MOU will be between IMIDRO and Posco.
He added in new technology of Posco concentrate and pellets will be omitted and according to some processes iron ore and coal will lead to furnaces and finally we will have steel. This technology is the newest one in the world and only some plants in South Korea are working by this technology. The large amount of Iranian iron ore is below 50-60 % Fe and producing steel from this kind of iron ore by this technology will be economical.
