About Champion Iron

Champion Iron Limited is a Canadian mining company focused on the development, operation and exploration of iron ore properties. Its principal asset is the Bloom Lake Mine, an open-pit operation in Quebec’s Labrador Trough that produces high-grade iron ore concentrate for the global steelmaking industry.

The company’s Bloom Lake operations include an ore processing facility and related rail and port infrastructure. Concentrate is transported through the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway to the Port of Sept-Îles for shipment to international customers, including steel producers in markets across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Champion Iron acquired the Bloom Lake assets in 2016 and restarted commercial production in 2018 after the mine had previously operated under earlier ownership.
