TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and NYSE-listed Alderon Iron Ore on Wednesday reported that it had started preliminary work for the Pointe-Noire terminal facility at the Port of Sept-Iles, in Quebec, which would be the product handling facility for the Kami iron-ore project, in the Labrador Trough.

The western Labrador facility would have mining and processing facilities and is held by the company's affiliate The Kami Mine Limited Partnership (Kami LP).

Site preparations had started at the terminal facility, which would be built for receiving, unloading, stockpiling and reclaiming concentrate for ship loading. The terminal facility would consist of a railcar unloading stub track, a single rotary car dumper, a concentrate storage yard with stacker/reclaimer and interconnecting conveyor systems.

Two of the most critical pieces of the material handling system for the Kami project – the car dumper and the stacker/reclaimer – have already been ordered.

"After a tremendous amount of hard work from the entire Alderon team, we are very excited to have commenced with the first step in preparation for construction for the Kami project. This step marks the continuation of a very successful start to the year and we look forward to hitting many more milestones in the next six months,” Alderon president and CEO Tayfun Eldem said.

Progress on the new multi-user dock by the Port of Sept-Iles was progressing with construction scheduled to wrap up during the summer. Under the agreement with the Port of Sept-Iles, the new dock would provide ship-loading services to the Kami LP for up to eight-million tonnes a year of iron-ore.
