After a period of searching and preparing, Hoa Phat Group has firmly set its first step into the world largest iron ore supply market. It is continuing to research to invest in purchasing some other new iron mines in Australia to ensure a long-term supply of at least 50% of its iron ore demand equivalent to 10 million tonnes a year.
