Cyclone Metals Ltd ( (AU:IBR) ) just unveiled an update.

Iron Bear Resources is advancing a world-class iron ore project in Canada’s Labrador Trough, underpinned by a JORC-compliant mineral resource of 16.6 billion tonnes at 29.3% iron and proximity to existing rail and port infrastructure. The company aims to produce high-grade direct reduction iron concentrate and low-carbon pellets, supported by studies indicating potential use of 100% renewable power and scoping economics with a multibillion-dollar NPV and substantial planned production.

In the March 2026 quarter, the company reported a cash balance of A$14.68 million and additional funds under a development agreement with Vale S.A., which can provide up to US$138 million in staged funding for a 75% stake in the Iron Bear Project. Iron Bear secured government approvals for a Phase 1 drilling program of up to 24,000 metres, progressed baseline environmental and social studies, and kept its Hatch-led pre-feasibility study on schedule for completion in the second quarter of 2026, marking key de-risking steps for project development and future stakeholders.
