Champion Iron Limited has produced direct reduction (DR) quality iron ore from its direct reduction pellet feed project (DRPF Project) at the Bloom Lake mine. The company announced that an inaugural commercial sale of a Capesize vessel, expected to carry at least 160,000 wet metric tonnes of DR quality iron ore, is anticipated in the third calendar quarter of 2026. The DRPF Project was completed within the recently estimated $500 million budget and is expected to gradually increase in capacity to reach commercial production toward the end of the company's current financial year.

In tandem with the commissioning of the DRPF Project, Champion Iron has entered into a commercial agreement covering a portion of its expected near-term capacity. The company is actively advancing discussions with several prospective customers globally to secure agreements for its remaining volumes.

Project Specifications and Market Position

The DRPF Project is designed to upgrade half of Bloom Lake's capacity to a DR quality pellet feed iron ore grading up to 69% Fe, with combined silica and alumina content below 1.2. This development is expected to position Bloom Lake among the highest-purity iron ore producers globally. The new product could attract a considerable pricing premium over the company's currently produced high-purity 66.2% Fe iron ore concentrate.

Metric	Value
Project Budget	$500 million
Initial Sale Volume	At least 160,000 wet metric tonnes
Iron Grade (DR Quality)	Up to 69% Fe
Silica and Alumina Content	Below 1.2
Current Iron Grade	66.2% Fe

Strategic Context and Operations

Demand and pricing premiums for DR quality iron ore are supported by the steel industry's transition toward lower-carbon production pathways, including the increasing adoption of direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnaces (EAF) steelmaking. These processes require higher-purity iron ore inputs to achieve optimal metallurgical performance and reduce overall emissions intensity. The Labrador Trough's high-purity iron ore products and access to hydroelectricity result in one of the lowest carbon footprints for high-purity iron ore production globally.

Champion Iron owns and operates the Bloom Lake Mining Complex through Quebec Iron Ore Inc. The complex is an open-pit operation with two concentration plants that primarily source energy from renewable hydroelectric power. It has a combined nameplate capacity of 15M wmt per year. The company also owns and operates Rana Gruber AS, a Norwegian iron ore producer based in Mo i Rana, Nordland.

What specific pricing premium does Champion Iron anticipate for the 69% Fe DR-grade pellets compared to the standard 66.2% Fe concentrate?
