The mill's slab production, a semi-finished steel product, will mostly be supplied to Dongkuk Steel Mill.
Posco said in a statement the contract is the biggest deal won by a Korean company for a single steel plant.
The mill "is a mega project in all aspects and it will be recorded as a significant deal in Korea's construction history", Posco Engineering and Construction chief Chung Dong-Hwa was quoted as saying.
