Item 8.01        Other Events.

 

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (“Cliffs”), the parent company of Northshore Mining Company (“Northshore”), reported in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, that one of the four furnaces in the Northshore pellet plant became idled in January 2015 and is expected to remain idled throughout the year. Cliffs’ Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2015.

 

The Trustees of Mesabi Trust have not been informed by Cliffs of, and therefore the Trustees are not able to predict, when this furnace will resume operation or how the idling of this furnace will affect, if any, the total production and shipment of iron ore pellets by Northshore at its Silver Bay facilities. Royalties paid to Mesabi Trust are based on the volume of shipments of iron ore pellets for a particular quarter and year to date, the pricing of iron ore pellet sales, and the percentage of iron ore pellet shipments attributable to iron ore mined from Mesabi Trust lands.
