"the Trommel will screen 0-1mm with 0.05mm 8’ dia X 30’ long gaint Screen to remove dirt and leave 0.05mm to 1mm chips, the materials less than 0.05mm will then be used for organic fertilizer, the iron chips will be sold as DRI Pellet feed-stocks" [emphasis added]
So I'm guessing the pellet feed stocks are an intermediate step in the formation of the finished furnace ready iron pellets- which have been mixed w other materials as noted in the wikipedia article. Otherwise they would be getting more for the sub 1 mm ironchips than the main product of generally 3-18mm-though they could get a lot more for the fertilizer -325-550 /mt or so as Bobs Feb 9 email on that subject indicated if they processed the fertilizer via an onsite plant in JV with OMRI.
