On August 30, Chinese steel producer Wuhan Iron and Steel Co. (WISCO) and Canadian mining company Century Iron Ore Holdings Inc. inked a cooperation agreement to jointly develop iron ore mines in Canada.
Century Iron Ore Holdings owns three iron ore projects in Quebec, Canada. On January 13 this year, the two parties had reached a binding framework agreement on mine development.
Century Iron's three iron ore projects in Quebec will help support Wuhan's strategy of self-sufficiency when it comes to iron ore supplies, reducing its dependence on overseas suppliers. As previously reported by SteelOrbis, Wuhan plans to increase its steel production capacity to 60 million metric tons in the next four years, compared to current levels of 40 million tons.
