Lamêlée, CSL Team Up on Iron Ore Transhipment

 Lamêlée Iron Ore Ltd. has inked a memorandum of understanding with Canada Steamship Lines (CSL), a division of the CSL Group Inc., pursuant to which Lamêlée and CSL will work together to evaluate the best means to effect the transhipping of iron ore concentrate to ocean going vessels from Port-Cartier.

Under the deal,  CSL, a Montreal based provider of marine dry bulk cargo handling and delivery services, will provide support to Lamêlée in the assessment of the technical and logistical aspects of the contemplated transhipment solution.

Mr. Hubert Vallée, President and CEO of Lamêlée, said: “In June, we announced that the City of Port-Cartier has agreed to support an infrastructure project involving the construction of a handling yard, a rail loop and access to a wharf on the St. Lawrence available year-round.

The advice provided by CSL will be very helpful to the company as it will allow us to define the most valuable and creative solution to load large cape size ship in the Port-Cartier vicinity.“

Lamêlée is a new iron ore mineral exploration company focused on the development of an iron mine project located in the southern segment of the Labrador Trough near the border with Newfoundland and Labrador, approximately 50 km south of the city of Fermont (Quebec).

The project consists of 29 mineral claims covering 1,524 hectares or 15 km2.
