Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation is jointly owned by The Energy and Minerals Group and ArcelorMittal, and operates the Mary River high-grade iron ore mine located on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. Nunavut’s high-grade iron ore is among the richest iron ore deposits ever discovered. 

The Mary River Mine produces the highest grade direct shipping iron ore in the world. What sets this operation apart from many others in that the iron ore is crushed and screened on site, and then shipped directly to markets – no concentrating or processing is needed, and as a result no tailings are produced.

Our vision is to safely and efficiently identify and develop resources within Baffin Island, unlocking their wealth-generating potential. Safety first, always.

Baffinland is committed to operating in an environmentally and socially responsible manner that benefits Inuit, Nunavummiut and all other stakeholders.

Located 70 kilometres (43.5 miles) north of Fort McMurray, AB, Imperial’s Kearl mine is one of Canada’s largest oil sands deposits with a production rate of 270,000 barrels per day (2023). The mining area contains approximately 4.6 billion barrels of bitumen resources which are expected to be recovered over a 40-year span.  

With more than 2,500 workers at site on any given day, Kearl’s strong safety culture is rooted in teamwork and is demonstrated daily through the care and concern workers have for one another. This is the third John T. Ryan award Kearl has received in the past five years (2018, 2020, 2023), which speaks to the drive and dedication of the entire Kearl workforce towards industry-leading safety performance and eliminating life-altering injuries and fatalities.
