Asset Report
Mont Wright iron ore mine
Report summary
Mont Wright is a large iron ore complex operated by ArcelorMittal located approximately 1,000 kilometres northeast of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. The mine is Canada's largest iron ore operation and is owned by ArcelorMittal Mines and Infrastructure Canada (AMMIC), whose shareholders are ArcelorMittal, POSCO and China Steel. Mont Wright produces both concentrate and pellet products, with the latter being either consumed by ArcelorMittal's Dofasco steel plant in Canada or sold into the seaborne export market. ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) is investing CA$205 million in its Port Cartier pellet plant, enabling this facility to convert its entire annual pellet production to direct reduced iron (DRI) pellets by the end of 2025. Mont Wright production was up over 9% in 2022 and we expect it to recover the production rate to 25.5 Mtpa in 2023.
