FAQ

  • Baffinland’s Mary River Mine is located on Baffin Island north of the Arctic Circle in Nunavut, Canada. The mine is approximately 160km from the nearest community of Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik) in the Qikiqtani Region, and accesses the international buyers for its iron ore via a 100km Tote Road to Milne Port, located in Milne Inlet on the northern shore of Baffin Island.

  • Iron ore is primarily used in steel-making. Steel is used for the construction of everything from cars, snowmobiles, locomotives and ships, to beams for buildings, furniture and tools.
  • Steel also plays a key role in renewable energy, and in the process of building wind turbines and other modern green technologies.

  • In accordance with the Nunavut Agreement, our operations are contingent upon agreements with the Designated Inuit Organization for the Qikiqtani Region, the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA). We signed our first Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA) in 2013, and an amended version in 2018.
     
  • Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreements, as defined by Nunavut Agreement Article 26, ensures that Inuit economic and cultural rights are respected, by ensuring benefits are consistent with, and promote Inuit cultural goals, and contribute to achieving and maintaining a standard of living among Inuit, equal to that of non-Inuit people living and working in the Nunavut Settlement Area, and to Canadians in general.
  • The ICA and amended IIBA will provide a framework for defining thresholds of acceptable change and additional mitigation measures that can be put into action if those thresholds are exceeded, based on direct input from Inuit, as well as delivering even greater benefits to Inuit

  • Baffinland undertakes a combination of monitoring programs and scientific studies annually to monitor and assess potential changes in the terrestrial environment, inclusive of wildlife.
  • Baffinland works with Inuit to ensure Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit has informed the design and analysis of our monitoring programs and mitigation measures.
  • To minimize potential effects on caribou, Baffinland implements a number of mitigation strategies. Some of these strategies have been informed by our community engagement:
     
    • Restricting blasting when caribou are spotted within the Project area.
       
    • Reducing Project footprint to minimize disturbances to caribou habitat.
       
    • Apply dust suppressant to minimize dust from the Project on caribou forage.
       
    • Having wildlife monitors during the calving season.
       
    • Subject to safety requirements, having all helicopters follow cruising altitude of 650 m above ground level during point-to-point travel.
       
    • Pilots shall report caribou movements and locations during calving and post-calving periods, so that these areas can be avoided.
       
    • Whenever practical and not causing a human safety issue, a stop work order will be used when wildlife in the area may become endangered (i.e., risk of physical injury or death) by the work being undertaken.
       
  • Baffinland also closely manages its activities along the Tote Road to ensure minimal disturbance to caribou, including:
    • Maintain a snow bank height less than 1 m along Tote Road with smooth top edges to allow caribou to cross the transportation corridor without being blocked by steep snow banks.
       
    • Truck drivers will be provided with wildlife awareness training including known crossing locations. Drivers will use the Caribou Decision Framework, which inform drivers to be on high alert, slow their speeds, or cease activities along the Tote Road if caribou are spotted.
       
    • Wildlife right-of-way policy on Project roads.

  • Baffinland works with Inuit to ensure Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit has informed the design and analysis of our monitoring programs and mitigation measures.
  • To minimize potential effects on marine wildlife, Baffinland implements a number of mitigation strategies. Many of these strategies have been informed by our community engagement:
     
    • Use of Marine Wildlife Observers onboard icebreaker vessels at the start and end of the shipping season to avoid any ship strikes with marine mammals during their in and out migration of the Project area.
    • Implementation of a ship transit restriction regime during the shipping season to minimize impact on wildlife from underwater noise generated by Project vessels.
    • Implementation of a voluntary 9 knot speed restriction for all vessels travelling along the established shipping corridor. This speed restriction is the lowest imposed for all vessels travelling in Canadian waters. Vessels travelling at lower speeds are less noisy, and also reduce risk for ship strikes with marine mammals. 
    • Restricted shipping zones with the Project area that are known to be ecologically significant and sensitive for narwhal, including Koluktoo Bay, the shoreline of Bruce Head and Tremblay Sound.
    • Vessels awaiting an icebreaker escort, or vessels awaiting instructions from the Port Captain to enter the regional study area will be instructed to wait in Baffin Bay at least 40 km east of the Nunavut Settlement Area. This helps to avoid narwhal waiting to begin their in-migration to the Project area from being exposed to vessel noise from ships waiting to enter.
    • Limiting the number of vessels at an anchorage location outside of the Port area to reduce disturbance to wildlife or to human activity in the area.

  • With the growth of the Mary River Project since 2013, long-term career opportunities continue to expand.

  • Baffinland has and continues to invest in training for its employees and prospective employees through the various programs outlined in the Mary River Project Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA).
  • A minimum of $1.5 million will be invested annually for the life of the mine, to support Inuit specific training programs.
  • Baffinland has also committed $10 million towards the development of a training center in Pond Inlet, in collaboration with the QIA.
  • Baffinland, in partnership with the Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA), the Government of Canada, the Government of Nunavut and Kakivak Association, launched the Qikiqtani Skills and Training for Employment Partnership (Q-STEP), in 2017. The primary goal of Q-STEP is to increase Inuit employment in the Qikiqtani Region in industries such as mining. Through the Q-STEP partnership, Baffinland provides a number of education and training programs throughout the year in different locations. To access Q-STEP programs, you must register online with QIA’s labour pool database, Tuttarvik. For information or to register with Tuttarvik, visit www.tuttarvik.qia.ca.
  • Apprenticeship training, Heavy Equipment Operator Training, internships, and seasonal opportunities exist for those interested in working at the Mary River Mine.
  • We remain committed to ensuring that Inuit who reside in the seven Baffin communities, and throughout the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut, receive priority hiring preference, as outlined in the IIBA.
  • All available career opportunities are posted on our careers portal here. For more information about working at Baffinland, visit our Employment Section here or email your resume to  recruitment@baffinland.com.
