Joyce Lake Direct Shipping Iron Ore Project
Labec Century Iron Ore is proposing the construction, operation and decommissioning of an open-pit iron ore mine located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Schefferville, Quebec in Newfoundland and Labrador. As proposed, the mine would produce up to an estimated 2.5 million tons of ore per year over a life span of seven years. The ore would be transported by truck to the existing rail owned by Tshiuetin Rail Transportation Inc. for transportation to the Port of Sept-Îles, where it would be shipped to market. The mine and mine infrastructure would consist of: an open pit, dewatering of Joyce Lake, waste rock disposal, processing (dry) and support infrastructure, access and haulage roads, a causeway, and a rail loop.
