The Quebec government's Green Fund has granted Quebec Iron Ore (QIO), a subsidiary of Champion Iron, C$5.2-million in financial assistance for two energy conversion projects at the flagship Bloom Lake iron-ore mine, near Fermont. The first project involves the replacement of a steam boiler using light fuel oil, with an electrode steam boiler in the plant's main boiler room. The new boiler will meet a significant portion of the demand for process steam, as well as midseason heating requirements.
