Tosyali Algerie, a subsidiary of one of Turkey's largest steel producers, Tosyali Holding, planned to construct a new plant to process iron ore from the Gara-Djebilet mine.

The Gara-Djebilet iron ore mine is one of the largest iron ore mines in the world and is located in southwestern Algeria. It has reserves of 1 to 3 billion tons. Also, the full annual production capacity of iron ore could reach 40 to 50 million tons by 2026 after completing the railway.
