-Hydropower available 45km from Snelgrove Lake at around C$0.04/kwh.
-The Port of Sept-ÃŽles is currently undergoing a C$220 million expansion increasing the port capacity to 50 million tonnes per annum by March 2014

Re: MAB - Mamba Minerals

It seems MAB hit paydirt with the acquisition of the previously mentioned iron ore project.

New hematite deposit discovered with 275m intersection at Snelgrove Lake
Highlights
● First diamond drill hole (MM-13-05) to test potential DSO (direct shipping ore) has returned a 275m intersection of hematite ore from 15m below surface.
● The current hole, MM-I3-05, continues to be in massive hematite mineralization at time of release and drilling is ongoing.
● Based on gravity and magnetic anomaly data, the target area is estimated to be 2km long by 200-300m wide.
● Snelgrove contains three additional untested DSO target areas with a combined area of 5km by ~ 250m.
● Further drilling to test width and length of this hematite deposit will follow immediately.
● Assay results are expected in May.
 
Re: MAB - Mamba Minerals

First hematite hole returns 303m intersection with mineralisation still open
Second hole now underway

Highlights
-Drilling of the discovery diamond hole (MM-13-05) to test potential DSO (direct shipping ore) has been completed after the intersection of hematite ore reached 303m
-The hole remained in massive hematite mineralisation at the time it was terminated 235m below surface
-The second hole to test this target is now underway 150m to the northwest of the first hole
-Based on gravity and magnetic anomaly data, the target area is estimated to be 2km long by 200-300m wide
-Snelgrove contains three additional untested DSO target areas with a combined area of 5km by ~ 250m
-First assay results from the hematite holes are expected in May

On April 3rd, 2014, Mamba Minerals Limited (MAB) changed its name and ASX code to Champion Iron Limited (CIA).
 
Any of the FMG investors on this one as well? I got on (both) in mid to late 2019; FMG has been the better performer but this one still good, and I don't see CIA talked about as much.
Be interested to hear any thoughts good or bad...
 
Champion Iron has just lodged its 3 month and 12 accounts

Record EBITDA1 of $275.8M for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, compared to $60.7M for the same period in 2020. Record EBITDA1 of $819.5M for the year ended March 31, 2021, compared to $347.4M for the same period in 2020;

Have to say this looks like a promising iron ore player.
Clearly making much coin in the past year and also developing advanced iron ore technologies that would give it a good place in the future.

250% increase in SP since last October is also pretty impressive.

CIA, high grade Fe miner.

I'm agnostic on the China Real Estate situation or the central governments plans to invigorate that part of their economy.
The commodity price seems to defy economic gravity, and this is a case of i trade what i see in front of me.
Has overcome the $8 barrier and closed convincingly higher with some volume.
Weekly chart for clarity.
