Block 103 Iron Ore Project

Block 103 Summary

Block 103 magnetite iron ore project (Block 103) is located in the Labrador Trough in Canada next to the town of Schefferville and is within 20km of an open access heavy haul railway directly connected to the Port Sept Isles iron ore export facility (refer Figure 1).

As announced on the 20th of June 2023, Block 103 is a well-advanced project supported by an Inferred Mineral Resource of 7,200 Mt @ 32% Fe which has been reported in accordance with the provisions of both with the JORC 2012 code and the NI 43-101 standards.

A Preliminary Economic Assessment( PEA) study was completed by BBA Inc, of Toronto, in June 2013. This report is publicly available in the SEDAR** database and concludes that a high-quality magnetite concentrate grading 69.5% Fe can be produced through mechanical beneficiation and that blast furnace quality pellets can be produced and shipped to the Sept Isles port for a cash cost of USD 47 /t FOB. For reference, as of 25 October 2023 blast furnace pellets traded at USD 143/t CIF China with shipping costs ~ USD 26 /t which theoretically would deliver a net cash profit of ~USD 70/t. The PEA report envisages a yearly production of 16.6 Mta of blast furnace pellets.

Block 103 benefits from a low stripping ratio of 0.4, is a relatively soft magnetite ore and has access to cheap hydropower – all of which contribute to a low cash cost described above, but more importantly drives an extremely low carbon footprint.

For more detailed information, please refer to the CLE announcement dated 17 April 2023.

Block 103 Quarterly Activities to end of September 2023

Cyclone is pleased to report that its operational activities are on track, and fully aligned with the operational plan disclosed in June 2023. The leadership team is hopeful that all operational milestones planned by end of Q4 2023 will be achieved – which would substantially de-risk the project.

Australian Workers Union Pushes to Re-unionise Pilbara Mine Workers

The Australian Workers Union (AWU) is looking to re-unionise mine workers in Western Australia's Pilbara region following the Labor government's new workplace laws, various news agencies said.

Ahead of the AWU National Conference, held last week in Perth, the Australian Financial Review reported that AWU National Secretary Paul Farrow called out major mining companies operating in the area.

“(The big miners) are having a tough time coming to terms with the fact we now have an Australian government that wants to help real Australians instead of just being the obedient servant of mining corporate interests,” he said. “Pilbara mine workers used to enjoy coverage under enterprise agreements and that’s the situation we need to get back to.”

Top 10 Iron Ore-producing Countries (Updated 2024)

Iron ore prices have displayed volatility in the past few years as the world has dealt with the economic uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 lockdowns, the Russia-Ukraine war and rising levels of inflation.

Prices for the base metal reached a record high of over US$220 per metric ton (MT) in May 2021, but it wasn't long before they declined to a low point of US$84.50 in November of that year. At the time, analysts identified lower demand from China alongside rising supply levels as reasons why prices dropped so drastically in late 2021.

Iron ore prices rebounded to trade in the US$120 to US$130 range in 2023, spurred on by supply issues in Australia and Brazil, as well as the Russia-Ukraine war; higher export duties in India and renewed demand from China have also contributed to the commodity's higher prices.
