An update from Champion Iron ( (AU:CIA) ) is now available.

Champion Iron Limited said rail service has resumed on the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway following a third-party train derailment in late December that temporarily disrupted the route used to transport high-purity iron ore concentrate from its Bloom Lake mine to the port of Sept-Îles. While Bloom Lake’s mining operations were not materially affected, the company was forced to stockpile concentrate on site during the interruption and is now working with the railway operator to optimize the gradual restart of services and limit any impact on its operations and sales, a development that should help stabilize logistics and mitigate potential ripple effects for its global customer base.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CIA) stock is a Buy with a A$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Champion Iron stock, see the AU:CIA Stock Forecast page.
