Sesa Goa, part of the AnilAgarwal-controlled Vedanta Resources, will export iron ore from the mines itrecently acquired in Liberia, to markets in Europe, the Middle East, India andChina. 
However, production at the mines, estimated tocontain reserves of 1 billion tonnes, will start after three years when thecompany concludes its feasibility report and starts commercial production. OnAugust 6, it has agreed to buy 51% in the Western Cluster iron ore project inLiberia, a country which has also seen other majors such as ArcelorMittal,Russia’s Severstal, Australian mining giant BHP Billiton and Brazilian majorVale, build their presences. Sesa, which bought the 51% stake for $90 million(about Rs.405 crore), funded the deal through internal accruals and plans tomake a larger investment in capacity expansion, once the transaction isapproved by the Liberian government and the feasibility study is complete.crackcrack
