"His more significant operation in South Australia most certainly will continue to require ore and hence the interest in HAV"

From the June 2018 GFG Alliance Sustainable brochure, it says all the magnetite (from the Middleback Ranges in South Australia) is used at the Whyalla steelworks:

The hematite SIMEC mines in South Australia is mainly exported.

So Mr Gupta has a lot less Fe feedstock for his Whyalla steelworks than I estimated, if the majority of the hematite is being exported.

Makes Maldorky and Grants (and Grants Iron Ore Basin) that much appealing.

I also note that SIMEC has copper-gold exploration projects in South Australia (per the extract above).

Via the South Australian Mineral Exploration Licences Listing (link below), these SIMEC copper-gold exploration projects are located at Cooper Pedy and Whyalla (search the Exploration Licences Listing via SIMEC subsidiaries: Southern Iron Pty Ltd, Onesteel Manufacturing Pty Limited):
