rz,

Do you know Mesabi Trust? They have about 60 yrs of iron ore-used in steel production- reserves and get a royalty stream for the trustees. The trust terminates 21 yrs after the death of the last trustee, the oldest is 42.

Pays 7.4% yield.

I figure if you want exposure to steel through iron ore you have a few options, but the two biggest players are CLF and IOC (Iron Ore of Canada). iron ore is a consortium, so you own Rio Tinto or LIF CLF is listed, low yield. If you buy MSB it is a claim on the same reserves CLF uses.

NYSE: CLF
TSE: LIF.UN
NYSE: MSB

Do you own?

Any opinion?

This tsunami rebuilding is turning out to be a big capital infrastructure spend for Japan, US etc and will drive steel demand, China and Indian slowdown notwithstanding.
