    Cleveland-Cliffs to Idle Mining Operations

    Written by Sandy Williams


    Cleveland-Cliffs will temporarily idle Northshore Mining in Minnesota and Tilden Mine in Michigan due to current market conditions.

    The iron ore supplier plans to work down current inventory from the operations to fulfill its commercial agreements with steel customers. Demand is down at U.S. steel mills, with several adjusting production due to closures in the automotive industry and weak market conditions in oil and gas.
