Operational Excellence
Our Global Operations group is responsible for the production of the minerals we market:
- Iron ore and coal mines in North America and an iron ore mining complex in Western Australia.
- Minority ownership positions in joint ventures on multiple continents.
- A major greenfield chromite project in northern Ontario, Canada. These three world-class chromite deposits are expected to position us as the largest North American producer of ferrochrome once production commences.
