Nunavut's newest mine is up and running, as Baffinland transported its first load of iron ore from the Mary River mine to its port site at Milne Inlet on Sept. 8.

The iron ore produced from the mine will be stockpiled at Milne Inlet until next summer's shipping season.

The company says the quality of the ore means no processing is required before it's sent to market.

Construction is continuing on the Milne Inlet port.
