LIM - new rail and port feasibility study
* Labrador Iron Mines is to collaborate with Canadian National
Railway Company in a Feasibility Study for a new multi-user rail
line and port terminal facility
* Rail line to serve iron ore companies in the Labrador Trough
Anglesey Mining’s 26% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings
Limited (TSX: LIM) is pleased to announce its collaboration with the
Canadian National Railway Company (“CN”) and La Caisse de dépôt et
placement du Québec, as well as a group of mining companies to work
with CN on a feasibility study to develop a new, continuous multi-user
rail line from the northern Labrador Trough to the Port of Sept-Îles.
The feasibility study will also evaluate a new terminal handling
facility to be located at the Port of Sept-Îles.
“CN is the largest carrier of iron ore in North America and we are
pleased to work with a highly-regarded and established transportation
company in this feasibility study” stated Rod Cooper, President and
Chief Operating Officer.
“The development of a new railway in the
Labrador Trough is of great interest to LIM as it would provide
optionality for long-term rail capacity, with the potential to provide
greater efficiencies and optimization of rail access.
In addition, a
new terminal handling facility at the Port of Sept-Îles would
complement the planned development of the new multi-user dock at the
Port, in which LIM is also participating.
We are excited to move ahead
with these developments, as they represent important steps to enhance
long-term rail and port access for LIM’s iron ore.”
To advance the project timeline, CN has coordinated the timely start of
upfront applications for regulatory approvals and permitting
requirements for the project.
This will also allow for appropriate
consultation with First Nations, local communities and other
stakeholders.
As previously announced on July 18, 2012, LIM has agreed to participate
with the Sept-Îles Port Authority in the development of its new
multi-user dock facility at Pointe-Noire in the Port of Sept-Îles.
Under the terms of the agreement with the Port Authority, LIM has
reserved an annual capacity of 5 million tonnes of iron ore with a
right to secure additional residual capacity.
About Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited
Labrador Iron Mines is Canada’s newest iron ore producer.

The first full production season

ore for the 2012 year.
LIM is focused on a strategic and robust growth plan arising from its
portfolio of 20 iron ore deposits in Labrador and Quebec, all within 50
kilometres of the town of Schefferville.
The James Mine is connected by
a direct rail link to the Port of Sept-Iles, Québec.
The area also
benefits from established infrastructure including the town, airport
hydro power and railway service.
Starting with the James Mine and
leading to the development of the expanding Houston flagship project,
the objective is to provide shareholders with long-term value as
production and sales ramp up towards 5 million tonnes per year by 2015.
