 Idle workers will soon be returning to their jobs at Keytac-Taconite plant on Northern Minnesota's Iron Range. US Steel announced that the company has reached agreements to supply iron ore pellets to third-party customers. That will result in restarting Keytac. Reports of employee callbacks will begin in early January. US Steel anticipates production will begin in March. Keytac has been idle for about a year and a half due to a downturn into the international steel industry. The plant normally has an annual production capacity of about six million tons.
