As quoted in the market news:
The move comes in response to Rio Tinto Group’s potential sale of its controlling interest in Iron Ore Co. of Canada, the country’s largest producer of the commodity used in steelmaking. Labrador Iron Ore Royalty owns 15 percent of Iron Ore Co. and collects a royalty of 7 cents on every dollar of revenue generated by the iron ore producer.
