Read the following source and answer the questions that follow:

Steel Industry
The large integrated steel industry is traditionally located close to the sources of raw materials — iron-ore, coal, manganese and limestone — or at places where these could be easily brought, e.g., near ports. But in mini steel mills, access to markets is more important than inputs. These are less expensive to build and operate and can be located near markets because of the abundance of scrap metal, which is the main input. Traditionally, most of the steel was produced at large integrated plants, but mini mills are limited to just one-step process — steel making — and are gaining ground.

(4.1) Mention the main factor affecting location of large integrated steel industry.
(4.2) What is more important for setting up the mini steel mills?
(4.3) Mention the raw material used in mini steel mills.
