In advance of technical meetings for its Phase 2 expansion project scheduled for April 8 to 10, Baffinland Iron Mines (Baffinland or the “Company”) announced it has submitted its responses to technical comments submitted by regulators, community groups, federal departments, the Qikiqtani Inuit Association and more.
Baffinland thanks all contributors for their questions and the opportunity to provide more information about its proposed Phase 2 expansion. As the single largest private sector employer on Baffin Island, Baffinland has a significant positive impact on the economy of Nunavut, and specifically the economy of the North Baffin Region. Baffinland has, and continues to, invest in support of its Inuit employees, their families, and communities. The Phase 2 expansion proposal remains critical to the phased-development of the Mary River Mine. Phased growth in production will allow the Company to establish a solid economic foundation from which it will continue to deliver training and employment opportunities as well as sustained positive economic contributions to Nunavut’s growing economy for years to come.
