Pakistan Steel's acquisition of iron ore from Rio Tinto follows a structured, multi-stage process ensuring quality, compliance, and commercial alignment.
Pakistan Steel registers as an approved buyer, submitting corporate details, financial standing, and quality/delivery capabilities.
Parties agree on ore grade, quantity, and pricing model—options include spot prices, index-linked formulas, or fixed-term contracts.
A formal agreement defines volume, delivery schedule, payment terms, and quality benchmarks.
Ore is shipped from Rio Tinto's Australian or Canadian mines to Pakistani ports per the agreed timeline.
Pakistan Steel verifies each shipment against specifications; Rio Tinto provides quality assurance certificates.
Settlement via cash in advance, letter of credit, or open account as contracted.
Global reliability, consistent grade control, and flexible commercial terms make Rio Tinto a preferred supplier for integrated steelmakers worldwide.
