Black Iron is ranked as the lowest cost,
undeveloped iron ore project in the world.1

Black Iron's Shymanivske iron ore project offers high economic margins and significant production upside potential thanks to it's close proximity to railway, power, deep seaports and local skilled labour to produce an ultra high-grade, lower emission, 68% iron ore content product. The deposit is located in central Ukraine, with a total of five operating open pit iron ore mines in the area. Ukraine is a mining-friendly jurisdiction with strong local and national support of Black Iron’s project development.

Black Iron has term sheets for a majority of the funds required to fund the construction of the Shymanivske iron ore project from notable investors, including the selection of Cargill as an offtake partner with a US$75 million finance facility. Following Black Iron’s recent successful $11.5m equity financing, the company plans to complete an updated feasibility study for the Shymanivske iron ore project, an environmental and social impact assessment, Ukrainian technical studies and to secure access to land for project construction, all within the coming months.
