The company has signed contracts to sell the ore to steelmaking giants ThyssenKrupp and ArcelorMittal. However, the project’s timing depends on a continued economic rebound and a rise in steel demand. Baffinland holds a high cash balance of $25 million. Baffinland is a buy for highly aggressive investors.
