Federal government adds high-purity iron like that produced by Baffinland to its list of critical minerals
Baffinland Iron Mines Corp. and other advocates for Nunavut’s mining sector are applauding the federal government’s inclusion of high-purity iron on Canada’s critical minerals list.
“The addition of high-purity iron ore to the critical minerals list will open up additional investment sources for Baffinland, both from the public and private sector,” said Peter Akman, a spokesperson for the Oakville, Ont.-based mining company.
The company runs the Mary River iron mine on Baffin Island.
