The document discusses the coke industry in India and its dependence on imports of coking coal. It notes that India faces a severe shortage of premium quality coking coal and produces around 20-22 million tons of met coke annually, with the rest met through imports. With rising steel production in India and globally, demand for coking coal and coke is expected to rise sharply. However, China has reduced exports of coking coal and coke in recent years, exacerbating a global shortage. The shortage is expected to worsen for India given its reliance on imports and rising domestic needs.

Broken Hill Prospecting Ltd (BPL) controls large cobalt deposits near Broken Hill, Australia that have the potential to be a significant cobalt producer. BPL recently discovered the Railway Prospect, a very large cobalt deposit located near existing rail infrastructure. BPL plans to commence a scoping study for a 7.5 million tonne per year open pit mine at the site to produce approximately 7,000 tonnes of cobalt per year. BPL aims to become a major, low cost cobalt producer to help meet growing global demand for the strategic metal.

Sesa Goa Limited is an iron ore mining company that operates mines in Goa and Karnataka, India as well as iron ore projects in Liberia. The presentation discusses Sesa's low-cost operations in India, exploration efforts to increase reserves, and plans for growth through the Liberia projects. Sesa aims to capitalize on long-term global demand for iron ore driven by urbanization in countries like China and India. While facing regulatory challenges in India, Sesa is well-positioned to serve growing demand through its competitive operations and focus on sustainability.
This document discusses plans to build an integrated lead and zinc smelter in Chanderiya, India using the Imperial Smelting Process. The smelter aims to produce 70,000 tons of zinc and 35,000 tons of lead annually, along with valuable byproducts. It will help reduce India's dependence on imports of these metals. The smelter's design and implementation in two phases is described in detail. It is scheduled to be commissioned by early 1991.
The document discusses increasing the portfolio weighting for metals stocks, particularly integrated Indian steel companies. It notes that while India has large iron ore reserves, it exports ore and imports steel, an imbalance the strategy looks to benefit from. Smaller integrated steel firms like Electrosteel Castings, Godawari Power & Ispat and Bhushan Steel are expected to see strong volume growth and margins over the next 2-3 years as demand increases while larger firms face debt issues limiting expansion. The withdrawal of Chinese export rebates also reduces competitive pressure on domestic steel prices.

The paper to be published as the lead article in the Metals & Minerals Review – Ferroalloy Special – January 2013 issue makes a case that while there are many positives for the ferroalloy industry in India, viz. scalability, location near high growth markets, cost advantages of labour, technical manpower domestically available ore and reducing price of reductant blend; the growth in ferroalloy production is stymied by inadequate infrastructure, rising cost & availability issues in thermal coal, fear of getting saddled with old technology, and lack of capital.
The global slowing of demand for ferroalloys, the re-emergence of China as a major exporter and the threat of imports are other factors that the Indian ferroalloy industry would need to tackle.
Therefore it is very difficult to predict if the ferroalloy industry in India can repeat the spectacular double digit growth of the last five years. The only certainty is of ferroalloy prices; which have been volatile and unpredictable in the past – they will remain volatile and unpredictable in the future: some things will never change!!
India has become the world's fourth largest steel producer despite having low per capita steel consumption compared to other major economies. Steel production is expected to continue expanding rapidly to meet growing demand from industrialization and infrastructure development. While India has large iron ore reserves, it has limited coking coal and imports most of its needs, mainly from Australia. As India's economy develops, steel consumption and imports of coking coal and iron ore are projected to rise substantially.
The document discusses the history and present status of the Indian steel industry. It notes that the industry has grown significantly since liberalization in the 1990s. Current production levels are around 49 million tons per year, and targets have been set to reach 110 million tons by 2019-2020. However, per capita consumption of steel in India remains relatively low at 35 kg compared to global averages. For India to continue developing its economy, the steel industry will need to further expand production and consumption levels to support infrastructure growth across the country.
Presentation titled "Chrome Business India – China Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" seeks to explore the changing relationship between two Asian giants in face of a over 25% growth in SS production in China which propelled it to the #1 producer of stainless steel in the world and pressures posed by India\'s own impressive double digit growth in SS Production.
This document examines China's role in global steel markets and Noble Group's strategy for supplying China. It summarizes that:
1) China's steel production and domestic consumption peaked in the 2010s and is expected to stabilize, though steel consumption is projected to still grow 6-7% annually.
2) China has historically been both a net importer and exporter of steel but has been a consistent net exporter since 2005. It exports a small percentage (7-15%) of overall steel production.
3) Noble Group's core strategy is to build integrated supply chains to control key stages of supplying raw materials to China. It adds value at each stage and captures margins through sourcing, transportation, blending, shipping,

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
