IRL successful in its bid for Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium

South Africa: Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium's bankruptcy protection practitioners have named International Resources Limited (IRL) as the successful bidder for South Africa's second-largest steel producer.

Hong Kong's IRL has offered US$26.2m to settle creditors' claims against Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium and US$1.49m as a payment to shareholders. IRL, which has interests in mining, forestry and real estate, would invest a further US$307m in the business over the next three to four years to refurbish equipment and build a 200MW cogeneration plant. The company would also increase steel production to pre-2008 levels of 910,000t/yr within 18 months. Following the completion of the capital upgrade, steel production would be increased to 1.5Mt/yr over the next three to four years. In addition, IRL intends to establish an ultra-high grade 23,000t/yr vanadium pentoxide production line. The commissioning of a 200,000t/yr titanium slag production line, producing 75% titanium, would further enhance Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium's production site.

Should IRL's proposal be accepted, the company would start production as soon as possible. As an alternative, IRL proposed to buy Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium as a going concern for US$26.2m. If neither of the two proposals is accepted, Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium would be wound down and creditors might receive between 10 - 14% of their claims.
