Serious concern among Nunavut communities over iron ore mine s proposed expansion

The mine, which began operating in 2015, crushes iron ore on site before carrying it 100 kilometres by truck to a port where it s shipped to customers in Europe. The mine is allowed to ship out six million tonnes of iron ore each year. Baffinland says it needs to double that output and build a 110-kilometre railway to stay profitable and reduce transportation costs. That would mean 176 ship transits each year and 20 train trips a day. The railway would be the only one in Nunavut and the most northern one in Canada. Public hearings before the Nunavut Impact Review Board are underway in Pond Inlet and Iqaluit on the proposed expansion.
