QUEBEC - Toronto-based Century Iron Mines reports intersecting 45 metres of 62.67% total Fe at the Lac Le Fer iron prospect, part of its Sunny Lake project near Schefferville. The drill hole ended in mineralization at 54 metres.

The company drilled a single hole into Prospect 3, a direct shipping target, based on a gravity anomaly 1,200 metres long and 400 metres wide. The Lac La Fer prospect was explored in 1951 by Iron Ore Co. of Canada whose geologist wrote an optimistic report.
