Canadian Project: Roche Bay Iron Ore Mine Project

Located on the shores of Nunavut’s Melville Peninsula, the Advanced Exploration Inc. Roche Bay Iron Ore Mine presents challenges unique to the circumpolar regions of the globe. The nearest community is Hall Beach, approximately 60 kilometers northeast of the project. There is no road access.
 
The project will involve open pit mining and processing of iron ore to produce iron ore concentrate (66 percent Fe) for shipment to international markets through a purpose-built port.
