A company with plans for the former Steep Rock Iron Ore mine at Atikokan is looking to go public.
Tom Ungar, a vice-president with Bending Lake Iron Group, says a move to the Toronto Stock Exchange will help raise the over $900-million for the project.
"We're well underway to hopefully raising and locking up that funding that needed," says Ungar. "When you can also offer someone the liquidity that a public company provides, it helps you."
Ungar says the company could begin trading on the Stock Exchange later this year.
