Largest iron ore deposit in Canada gets a nod: NunatsiaqOnline

An $8.5 billion joint venture between Adriana Resources and Wuhan Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. would create the largest iron ore mine in Canada, capable of producing 50 million tonnes of iron ore over 100 years. NunatsiaqOnline reports on a preliminary economic  assessment of the project released this week:

A giant-sized iron mine in Nunavik — which will produce two times more iron over its lifetime than Nunavut’s Mary River mine — announced today that its economic assessment looks good.

Adriana Resources Inc. said it had received positive results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment for a 50-million tonne per year operation on the Lac Otelnuk iron ore project.
