Quebec Iron Ore (MFQ)

Uses data management to optimize operations at its open-pit mine in Québec

MFQ unifies its data to help manage operations, assets, and product traceability from pit to port as it produces 7.4M tons per annum (Mtpa) of high-grade 66.2% Fe iron ore concentrate.

“Having a solid data foundation improves the availability of our data and gives operators the power to visualize the analytics”.
