00:09 Material and everything that's surrounding here
00:12 came obviously from within the steel plants, the blast
00:15 furnaces, et cetera.
00:16 And this is a byproduct of all the stuff that's there.
00:21 But it's perfectly reusable and recyclable,
00:25 where you can get over 90% iron within the material
00:29 that we'd be sending on.
00:30 We're on the mound here just now,
00:35 where the vast majority of the material is.
00:39 What happens is the guys here come in, diggers, et cetera,
00:43 dumpers, stuff segregated up here,
00:46 steel's put into the dumpers.
00:47 Then it's taken to an area further down from here,
00:50 where again, that's where most of the quality control
00:53 will be done.
00:54 That will then be loaded into lorries, as I've said already.
00:58 It will then be taken to Immingham
00:59 and put onto vessels that will then
01:01 be sent all over the world.

01:10 The most important thing will be the quality
01:14 that we have to get sent out.
01:15 So what we have to do is we have to drill down,
01:18 if you want to call it, and make sure
01:20 that we're sending out the best material that we possibly
01:24 can do.
01:24 It's an actually massive place here
01:28 that we have to dig down and get as much steel as we can
01:32 possibly out here.
01:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:47 The beauty of this is there's always fresh material coming
01:50 here all the time.
01:51 So once the contract is up, it could
01:54 be that the process just carries on from there.
01:57 Because what I believe is, let's say they do 1,000 tons a week.
02:01 But there is other materials here as well
02:04 that we can actually get our hands on,
02:07 that we could use and sell all over the world as well.
