New Millennium Iron Corp. provided an update on 2013 operating activities for the direct shipping ore project owned by Tata Steel Minerals Canada Limited in which NML has a 20% interest. TSMC continued with trial production in 2013.

Rail haulage of the ore from Schefferville to IOC's shipping terminal at the Port of Sept-Iles began in July and continued until mid-November. The project's first ship with 77,000 tonnes for Tata Steel Europe departed Sept-Iles on September 14, marking the commencement of commercial sales. A second ship with 166,000 tonnes of cargo departed Sept-Iles on November 10 bound for China.

Rail haulage is expected to resume in May 2014.
