Champion Iron: Revolutionizing Steel with High-Grade Iron Ore

Advancing Decarbonization Through Premium Iron Ore

Champion Iron is at the forefront of transforming the steel industry with its premium high-grade iron ore. As global industries pivot toward greener practices, Champion's operations stand out. The company’s Bloom Lake operations, paired with billions of tons of accumulated high-grade material, are enabling a transition to electric arc furnaces, which offer a cleaner alternative to coal-powered furnaces. These greener technologies are integral to reducing steelmaking emissions, which currently contribute nearly 10% of global emissions.

With a $700 million Phase 2 expansion at Bloom Lake, Champion has doubled its production capacity to 15 million tons annually. Its investment also includes upgrading iron ore quality to 69%, positioning the product as one of the highest-grade resources globally. This shift unlocks access to premium markets in Europe, the U.S., and Canada, aligning with the global demand for decarbonization. Additionally, Canada’s designation of high-grade iron ore as a critical mineral provides Champion with access to funding and subsidies, further supporting its mission.

Champion Iron’s innovative approach to mining and sustainability solidifies its role as a vital player in the green transformation of the steel industry.
