Baffinland Iron Mines

Baffinland Iron Mines is a Canadian mining company that extracts and ships high-grade direct shipping iron ore from its Mary River Property on Baffin Island, in the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut. The operation lies above the Arctic Circle and is among the most northern mines in the world. The ore produced at the Mary River Mine is described as the highest grade of direct shipping iron ore globally.

The company's scope covers mining, ore shipping and logistics, and ongoing monitoring activities. Its technical work spans Arctic mining, iron ore extraction and processing, environmental monitoring, permitting, Inuit consultation, sustainable development and mine safety. Baffinland is jointly owned by The Energy and Minerals Group and ArcelorMittal.

Work at Mary River takes place in an extremely remote and demanding environment beyond the Arctic Circle. The company combines modern safe and sustainable mining practices with traditional Inuit culture values, and applies rigorous environmental and safety standards. It states a commitment to environmentally and socially responsible operations that benefit all stakeholders, including the Inuit communities of North Baffin, and to supporting the economic development of Nunavut.
