Cleveland-Cliffs idles Northshore mine Spring to Fall 2022; Mesabi Trust royalties at risk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Cliffs to idle Northshore from Spring through at least Fall 2022; no production, shipments, or royalty payments during idling.
- CEO cited increased scrap usage and 'ridiculous royalty structure' with Mesabi Trust as reasons for the idle.
- Minimum advance royalty (~$977k for 2021) remains payable regardless of production; quarterly payments still required.
- Cliffs also limiting third-party pellet sales; idle could extend beyond Fall.
- Any royalty structure change requires approval of 66 2/3% of trust certificate holders.
