$TMCR starting to move as the Mesabi Metallics story hits the tape. If today’s White House announcement confirms the reported $15B Iowa steel project, this could become a major re-rating catalyst.
TMCR already owns a 2% royalty on Mesabi Metallics’ Minnesota DR-grade iron ore project, with company estimates pointing to roughly $22M–$26M of potential annual royalty revenue as production ramps. SEC
Now Reuters says the White House is expected to unveil a Mesabi-backed Iowa mill with 7.5M tons of initial annual steel capacity, potentially expanding to 10M tons. Reuters
If confirmed this afternoon, the market may finally connect the dots: Mesabi is becoming part of a vertically integrated U.S. iron ore → DR pellet → steel ecosystem, and $TMCR owns a royalty directly on the upstream asset.
Small float + strategic U.S. reindustrialization exposure + fresh White House catalyst = serious squeeze potential if volume accelerates.
$TMCR could get very interesting into 2 PM.
