SAULT STE. MARIE, ON , Dec. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Essar Steel Algoma Inc. ("Algoma") announced today that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has approved a Term Sheet between Algoma and Cliffs Mining Company ("Cliffs") for the supply of iron ore pellets from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2020 , with a proviso for a one year extension. The Term Sheet, when combined with the existing Pellet Sale and Purchase Agreement provides surety of supply for 70% of Algoma's pellet requirements.
