The basic product is a combination of highly specialized processes and alloying technologies invented over 30 years ago in Hungary.  The technology is based on the modification of the metallurgical properties of steel at a molecular level. The result is a product that Astra claims is stronger, less expensive, and uses less raw materials to make than conventional steel. As of February 2011, Astra Resources's 45% IP stake in the T-Steel technology was reported to be worth $2.01 billion euros.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.astraresources.co.uk/en/globalprojects/industrial-and-energy-technologies/t-steel |title=T-Steel |publisher=Astra Resources |accessdate=21 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130515004422/http://www.astraresources.co.uk/en/globalprojects/industrial-and-energy-technologies/t-steel |archivedate=15 May 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://proactiveinvestors.blogspot.com/2011/09/astra-mining-becomes-major-owner-of-t.html |title=Astra Mining becomes major owner of T-Steel patented technology |publisher=Proactiveinvestors News |date=8 September 2011}}</ref>
