About Champion Iron Ltd.
Champion Iron, through its wholly owned subsidiary Quebec Iron Ore Inc., owns and operates the Bloom Lake mining complex, located on the south end of the Labrador Trough, approximately 13 kilometres north of Fermont, Que. Bloom Lake is an open-pit operation with two concentrators that primarily source energy from renewable hydroelectric power. The two concentrators have a combined nameplate capacity of 15 million tonnes per year and produce low-contaminant high-grade 66.2-per-cent-iron iron ore concentrate with a proven ability to produce a 67.5-per-cent Fe direct reduction quality iron ore concentrate. Benefiting from one of the highest-purity resources globally, the company is investing to upgrade half of the Bloom Lake mine capacity to a direct reduction quality pellet feed iron ore with up to 69 per cent Fe. Bloom Lake's high-grade and low-contaminant iron ore products have attracted a premium to the Platts Iodex 62-per-cent-iron iron ore benchmark. The company ships iron ore concentrate from Bloom Lake by rail, to a shiploading port in Sept-Iles, Que., and has delivered its iron ore concentrate globally, including in China, Japan, the Middle East, Europe, South Korea, India and Canada. In addition to Bloom Lake, Champion Iron owns a portfolio of exploration and development projects in the Labrador Trough, including the Kamistiatusset project, located a few kilometres southeast of Bloom Lake, and the Cluster II portfolio of properties, located within 60 kilometres south of Bloom Lake.
