Frequently Asked Questions

Metal logic is a platform business, we use our smelting and geographic business to connect mine sites to steel customers and reduce the inefficiency of the current value-chain.

• Supply of steel products, such as pig iron and crude billet.
• Mine sites or tenement owners.

• Lower-grade ores made viable — turning stranded and sub-economic assets into profitable feedstock.
• Mine life extended — reducing environmental impact by unlocking resources that would otherwise be wasted.
• Strategic proximity — siting smelters close to ore bodies reduces shipping inefficiencies and keeps value creation local.
• Economic uplift — every tonne of ore retained in Australia can add up to $400 USD per tonne in value, creating jobs, resilience, and new industries instead of exporting opportunity.

• Demand for traceability — industries across the globe want to know the exact grade and CO₂ footprint of the steel they buy.
• Technology unlocks transparency — delivering cost advantage while certifying environmental impact.
• Breaking free from entropy — unlike coal, hydrogen, or electrification alone, new pathways in electrochemical, photonic, and molecular-scale separation finally allow us to go beyond physics-imposed limits.

Because we spent the money on science and customer value evidence—not on gloss. We’re not cottage green steel that costs more that needs marketing to move it. We will reveal more as the need drives it.

…!

It doesn't matter how a team member starts with us the altruistic nature led by science and data with a focus on the consumer, opinions left at the door, is infectious.

Platform-first, consumer-focused steel company. Consisting of a vertically integrated business model - R&D, resource lab, production of our smelter modules, and modular smelter sites (we own our technology stack so we can improve it) to create something simple: Scalable eco-friendly steel that costs less than black-carbon steel. Output > speeches.

Pig iron first, then crude steel billets, then sheet/plate/coil—all from 40-ft modular units mass produced, controlled in house so we can improve and reduce more cost later. Think Lego and local to each region.

Growing fast. Vertically integrated across R&D, invention, process science, manufacturing, resource qualification, and steel QA. Fewer meetings, more focus on data leading to improvements, more metal.

Yes send us your CV we will review it and consider it. We spent money on science for customer scale, not head hunters so don’t wait for them to call you.

Yes—when your region goes live. We’ll serve via select distributors and our direct platform. Tell us specs/volumes so we scale in the right order and hit the regions which make the most impact in an incremental order. Website and platform systems for queue position and priority will go live soon.

Hematite & magnetite; we’re qualifying ≥55% Fe feedstock now, expanding the spectrum of grade that can be processed as we go.

We target a near-zero route via an optimized reduction pathway that avoids blast furnaces. We are very vertically integrated and have pedigrees in our teams across a number of sciences and spent years figuring this out, we didn’t start in the last few years that’s for sure.

Speed, repeatability, capex discipline, and local availability. Ports + modules = short supply chains and fewer middlemen.

Lower cost per tonne, big CO₂ cuts, plug-and-play scale, and faster time-to-metal. Also: fewer “we’ll get back to you next quarter” emails. See graphs and references.

Port Hedland, WA first; active Labs, smelter assembly and fabrication, R&D ops in Vic.

Facilities secured for manufacturing dozens of modules (~1 Mtpa+ per wave) and a resource database mapping hundreds of billions of tonnes globally. Yes, we’re serious.

• Staff: we need team, most disciplines from a physicist to an MBA, from a production line worker to a lab technician to qualify ore it's going to take everyone for this one.
• Steel buyers: pre-register for allocation.
• Partners: propose a port, bring ore, or help us scale.

No. We operate it. That’s the point. We want to ensure it reduces pollution and continues to be invested in to stay ahead of the competition (we replenish our technical and commercial moats), and creates an impact by being made available to the world through our platform.
