Essar Steel Algoma Inc. Announces Iron Ore True-Up Payment
SAULT STE. MARIE, ON, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ - Essar Steel Algoma Inc. (ESAI) announced today that it is making a US $129 Million true-up payment to its iron ore supplier, which the supplier claims represents the difference between amounts invoiced in 2010 and amounts due under the recent arbitration award with respect to a pricing dispute. ESAI is paying the amount, on a without prejudice basis, to ensure continuity of iron ore supply during the critical winter months. ESAI has filed a court application to vacate the arbitration award which, if successful, would result in a substantial rebate.
A member of the Essar Group, Essar Steel Algoma Inc. is based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. As a fully integrated steel producer, the Company derives its revenues primarily from the manufacture and sale of hot and cold rolled steel products including sheet and plate.
