1538:. The protesters, who called themselves Nuluujaat Land Guardians stood in opposition to the expansion of the mine, concerned for the damage to the environment and their traditional ways of life. About seven hundred employees were stuck at the mine work camp for a week. The protest ended with a proposal by the Mayor of Pond Inlet, that a meeting be convened in the near future between "protesters, community leaders, Premier Joe Savikataaq and Inuit organizations that represent Inuit in the area". Protesters asked that the QIA, and other birthright agencies, "commit to sharing more mine royalties with communities in the area". They said that they had not been given an opportunity to voice their concerns that the Phase 2 expansion "will drive caribou away and harm other wildlife in the area, including narwhal" at the hearings. Inuit in the Qikiqtaaluk Region in general, and in Pond Inlet in particular, depend on these animals for subsistence. In Pond Inlet, 92% of the population is Inuit and the economy there is a mixed economy—including both traditional subsistence and wage-based activities. The local Inuit have the right to harvest in the nearby protected areas of the 554:

Nunavut Iron Ore is owned by The Energy & Minerals Group, a "private Houston-based fund that makes equity investments of $ 150 to $ 400 million in entities with talented, experienced management teams" which is providing the majority of the "equity financing for the Offer". After ArcelorMittal made an offer to purchase Baffinland, Nunavut Iron made a counteroffer. Over a period of about six months, a bidding war took place, resulting in an almost doubling of the offered price. Baffinland discouraged its shareholders from selling to either ArcelorMittal or the hostile bidder Nunavut Iron Ore. In December, McCreary, went to China hoping to finalize a deal to prevent either ArcelorMittal or Nunavut Iron Ore from acquiring the company he had spent decades of his life building. McCreary strongly disagreed with the phase approach that Waheed had suggested, in which the company would begin to haul and iron ore on a tote road from Mary River mine to Milne Inlet where it would be shipped. A January 2011

In this alternate proposal ore would be hauled by truck. The advantage to this approach would smaller start-up costs, and a shorter period before ore was shipped to market. Disadvantages were higher operating costs, making the price of a ton of ore approximately double that under the rail proposal, and a smaller capacity of ore, 3,000,000 t (3,000,000 long tons; 3,300,000 short tons) per year, as opposed to the 20,000,000 t (20,000,000 long tons; 22,000,000 short tons) per year under the rail proposal. Waheed and Murray's Nunavut Iron Ore Acquisition Company suggested it would be cheaper to construct a tote road route from Mary River Mine to Milne Inlet, rather than the more expensive but more environmentally sensitive South Railway cold-weather railway. The tote road approach seemed to have been abandoned temporarily, when the Nunavut Iron and ArcelorMittal agreed to a partnership. In late 2014, after the South Railway had spent several years undergoing its environmental impact assessment, the railway plan was shelved.

road" they had already constructed. In their August 2018, general summary, Baffinland described this amendment to the Phase 2 proposal as having an increase from 6 Mtpa to 12 Mpta, as well as, the construction of a new North Railway that would run parallel to the existing Milne Inlet "tote road". In the Phase 2 proposal 2018 amendment, the total mine production would eventually increase to 30 Mtpa. This includes the original certificate of 18 Mpta transported on the South Railway, and the 12 Mpta transported on the North Railway and shipped through Milne Inlet. These increased production projections with an annual production of 30 million tonnes of iron ore was to be achieved by constructing two railways, north and south, and by using both Milne Bay and Steensby Inlet for shipping.
286:—and a port infrastructure at Milne Inlet. According to a 4-year study published in 2008, the Mary River Mine, with its four massive iron ore deposits of 65-70% pure iron ore was "one of the most promising undeveloped iron deposits on the planet". It was not until technological advances were in place in 2010, and the market for iron ore had dramatically increased that sizable financial backing for the high cost of development in a remote region known for its inhospitable climate, was available. The mine began operations in 2014, and the first shipment to Europe arrived in 2015. Baffinland is currently planning on expanding the mine. In February 2021, a group of Inuit hunters blockaded access to the mine for a week to protest the expansion. 333:
engineering department at Queen's in 1969. In 2002, McCreary and McCloskey gained a controlling interest in Baffinland. They took it public in 2004, and established Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation. Baffinland then had the funds to complete testing and surveys, and they confirmed the purity of the ore at 65-70% pure and the potential of the resource—337 million tons. The Mary River Mine was "one of the largest undeveloped iron ore deposits in the world". By 2006, the price of iron ore increased as there was a global shortage for the first time since the 1970s. It was at this time that interest in developing iron ore mines in both the Labrador Trough, near

After the beginning of commercial production, Baffinland was to pay royalties of 1.19 of its net sales revenue. During its first three years of commercial production, Baffinland was to claw back the advance royalties. 1413:

The position of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association is that the threshold for "intended commercial production", which should mark when Baffinland's production reached sixty percent of the production of 18 million tons a year Baffinland agreed to, in its 2012 project certificate agreement with Nunavut. The 2012 project certificate agreement was based on the project design where Baffinland would complete the South Railway carry 18 million tonnes of ore to Steensby Inlet. But in 2013, Baffinlandsaid that a decline in the price of ore caused it to amend the project design and to delay the construction of the South Railway.
1367:(NTI)—the Nunavut land-claim body, and the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA)—formerly known as the Baffin Region Inuit Association—the regional Inuit organization that represents Inuit in the entire Baffin Island region, which includes the north where Mary River Mine is located, and South Baffin where the capital Iqaluit is located. The Qikiqtani Inuit Association is the Designated Inuit Organization (DIO) under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA) responsible for managing Inuit-owned lands in the Qikiqtani Region. The QIA has the authority to negotiate with BIMC on behalf of communities through an Inuit Impact Benefit Agreement (IIBA). 538:, Baffinland had difficulty raising the required capital. In 2007 and 2008 Baffinland mined a large bulk of samples of iron ore from Mary River deposit 1 to be tested by ArcelorMittal and ThyssenKrupp Steel AG in their large-scale blast furnaces in Europe. Baffinland shipped 113,217 tonnes of the sample. In order to ship the iron ore Baffinland had to upgrade the Milne Inlet "tote road" to an all-weather condition. According to the Baffinland January 2010 internal report, ArcelorMittal found that the Mary River fine ore was superior to that which they were using. In February 2010, McCreary hired an experienced mining executive, 565:

LeBlanc registered her concern with the Nunavut Impact Review Board that explosions necessary to build the rail line will trigger vibrations which will damage the inuksuit. An internal Baffinland environmental impact study had said that there should be a "buffer distance" between the site of any blasting and sites of archeologically significant structures—but the study didn't specify what the distance was. 996: 1394:. QIA said that, since 2015 Q1 Baffinland has failed to pay $ 1.25 million quarterly advance royalty payments as agreed upon in the Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA), which "outlines benefits Inuit are to receive for Baffinland using Inuit-owned land". The QIA said "that "commercial production" was intended to mean 60 per cent of 18 million tonnes per year, the figure given in Baffinland's original project description and in the project certificate they received from the Nunavut Impact Review Board", according to the 88: 58: 1156: 918:, on their way to destinations in Asia. In November 2018, Baffinland Iron Mines set a 5 million tonne shipping record. At the end of the 2018 86-day shipping season on October 17, Baffinland Iron Mines had made 71 trips from Milne Inlet to destination such as "continental Europe, and the UK, including two trips Taiwan and Japan, along the Russian coast. Carrying an "average 71,750 tonnes of iron ore each" they became the largest "shipping program by volume for the Canadian and Scandinavian high Arctic." 1608: 81: 367:. In 2017 Canadian iron ore mines produced 49 million tons of iron ore in concentrate pellets and 13.6 million tons of crude steel. Of the 13.6 million tons of steel 7 million was exported, and 43.1 million tons of iron ore was exported at a value of $ 4.6 billion. Of the iron ore exported 38.5% of the volume was iron ore pellets with a value of $ 2.3 billion and 61.5% was iron ore concentrates with a value of $ 2.3 billion. 594:(FEIS). The initial 2012 certificate was still in force, allowing Baffinland to transport and ship 18 Mtba through Steensby Inlet if and when the South Railway and port were built. On April 23, Baffinland asked the Nunavut Planning Commission (NPC) and NIRB for a further amendment to the North Baffin Regional Land Use Plan which would allow them to increase production from 4.2 to 6 Mtpa and to allow them haul and ship using the tote road and Milne Inlet port. 468:, causing it to suddenly crash. With 95% of Baffinland's CA$ 45.9 million invested in commercial paper—which would normally be very reliable—they had to get an emergency line of credit to pay for provisions for the hundreds of workers, fuel and equipment. McCreary, who served as the company's CEO from 2004 until March 2010, began to seriously seek out investors. Shipping the ore seemed to become more viable as the Arctic sea ice was shrinking. 826: 527:
Baffinland hired Fednav, a Canadian company headquartered in Montreal, which was at that time the only company worldwide that was operating in the Canadian Arctic year-round. At the 2009 NIRB public hearings in Igloolik—which is near the proposed marine shipping route from the proposed Steensby Inlet port—the major concern was the impact of the icebreakers operating year-round on marine life in particular, and the environment in general.

In March 2010, entered into an exclusivity agreement with ArcelorMittal who were seriously considering the possibility of a transaction with Baffinland. In July Waheed met with Baffinland CEO Richard McCloskey about a phased approach which would include an early stage production of up to two million tonnes of iron ore at Mary River hauled via the "tote road" and shipped from Milne Inlet. 1588:, 9 of them with the Delta variant. While cases linked to employees of the mine were also reported in other provinces, since the mine's workforce had not been in contact with any local communities, Nunavut's health department reported no cases linked to the mine outbreak.

Their poor Moody's June 2020 credit rating reflected financial concerns.
578: 685:(WWF), one of the organizations that sits on an oversight board, the mine's Marine Environment Working Group, criticized Baffinland for a lack of transparency. According to the WWF, by 2016, long after the project's 2012 approval, Baffinland lacked "formal guidelines to inform the level of data the company collects on its project, and how its analyses are reported". 1248:
Baffinland that a change of that scale would require an additional extensive environmental review. Six months later Baffinland announced that they would build a northern railway line running adjacent to the tote road to transport the iron ore to Milne Inlet. Baffinland already had the license to ship 18 million tons of ore to Steensby Inlet on the South Railway.
