Welcome to Hoeganaes, iron powder manufacturing. Hoeganaes specializes in powder metallurgy, and as the world’s leader in the production of ferrous powders, has been certified by DNV under the ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management system and the ISO 14001 Environmental management system.Hoeganaes has fueled that growth with successive waves of technology which have expanded the use of prealloyed metal powders for a wide variety of applications. While the single largest application for ferrous powders is in the production of pressed and sintered parts, Hoeganaes serves a diverse set of industries, including casting, brazing, photocopy, chemical, EMI shielding and metallurgical applications. Hoeganaes commenced operations in Riverton, New Jersey in 1953.Hoeganaes creates high quality iron and steel powders, which are important raw materials in the creation of structural parts, filters and bearings. The manufacturing of these parts is accomplished through the powder metallurgy process consists of taking iron powders such as Ancorsteel 1000 and mixing them with graphite, alloys and lubricants.The metal powder mixture is then transferred to a die cavity and compacted to the desired shape. Compacting pressures for ferrous powders range from 415 to 690 MPa (30 to 50 tsi). The as-compacted part is called a “green” compact, which is sintered in a controlled atmosphere furnace in order to metallurgically bond the metal particles to each other. Some parts are used in the as-sintered condition but many are subjected to secondary operations such as sizing, tumbling, heat treatment, or machining.

Its main assets are the 75% owned Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, the Prosperity gold-copper project, the Harmony gold project and the early stage Aley niobium project. The Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, located in south-central British Columbia, is a 46,000 ton per day operation with a life of mine average annual production of 100 million pounds of copper and 1.1 million pounds of molybdenum. The mine is undergoing an expansion and modernization project which will increase annual copper production capacity to 115 million pounds by 2011. The current mine life is 26 years and there are additional resources that could significantly extend the mine life. Prosperity is one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. Prior to 2001, the Company had carried out extensive exploration, engineering, mine planning, environmental and socio-economic studies on Prosperity, which hosts a large porphyry gold-copper deposit amenable to large scale open pit mining. After reinitiating work on Prosperity in 2005, the Company focused on completing the feasibility study and advancing the environmental assessment. The feasibility study was completed in late 2007 and confirmed robust economics. The project received it British Columbia Provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate in January 2010. The federal panel reviewing the project just completed six weeks of public hearings and has now committed to complete its final report in early July. Final approval from the federal government is expected in September 2010.
