Bullets top left above a grey-header data table with the current quarter boxed in dashes and LTM in a separate box; four small bar charts on the right (concentrate produced stacked hematite/DRPF, concentrate sold, material mined stacked waste/ore, Fe recovery).
Land transport and port handling $24.1/dmt sold, comparable with the prior year; total cash cost $82.5/dmt sold, affected by elevated fuel prices, DRPF-related processing costs and lower volumes; all-in sustaining cost $94.4/dmt sold, in line year-over-year as lower sustaining capex offset higher cash costs. Tables (Q3/26, Q4/26, Q1/27, Q2/27, LTM): mining and processing costs 47.3 / 60.0 / 54.5 / 60.5 / 55.4 $/dmt produced; land transport and port handling 26.5 / 23.8 / 30.6 / 24.1 / 26.1; total cash cost 73.9 / 82.7 / 83.4 / 82.5 / 80.4; AISC 89.7 / 96.9 / 104.4 / 94.4 / 95.9; net realized price 121.3 / 120.0 / 106.4 / 89.5 / 109.1 $/dmt sold; revenues 472.3 / 414.5 / 333.0 / 349.6 / 1,569.4 $M; gross profit 140.3 / 85.6 / 27.4 / (27.3) / 226.0 $M.

Operating: quarterly concentrate production of 0.5M wmt, up 40% quarter-over-quarter from a full period of Champion ownership, higher mill throughput, head grade and recovery; sales of 0.6M dmt, up 179% quarter-over-quarter on shipment timing and magnetite inventory reduction. Financial: total cash cost $85.3/dmt sold, helped by higher production and cost control but offset by higher diesel and explosives prices; AISC $97.1/dmt sold, lower than the prior quarter; net average realized price $92.5/dmt sold and revenues of $54.3M.

Q2/FY27 gross average realized selling price of US$105.5/t, below the P65 index average of US$112.8/t, due to short-term spot exposure and discounts during Bloom Lake's transition to DR-quality products, partly offset by backward-looking contracts; 3.4M dmt of sales remained subject to pricing adjustments at September 30, 2026, provisionally valued at an average forward price of US$103.4/t. Freight rose to US$40.4/t with the C3 index, driven by the Middle East conflict, tonne-mile demand and cost inflation, though the Company's costs rose more slowly thanks to its vessel booking strategy and fixed-price contracts. Waterfall: P61 index US$96.9, P65 index US$112.8, gross realized US$105.5, freight and other US$(40.4), provisional sales adjustment US$(1.1), FOB price US$64.0, FX conversion C$25.9, net realized price C$89.9 per dmt.

Quarterly revenues $403.9M, adjusted EBITDA $23.3M, EBITDA $3.7M, adjusted EPS $(0.06) and EPS $(0.09), hurt by lower iron ore prices, higher ocean freight and fuel, partly offset by higher sales volumes; total cash cost $82.9/t and AISC $97.9/t. Tables (Q3/26, Q4/26, Q1/27, Q2/27, LTM): total cash cost 73.9 / 82.7 / 83.7 / 82.9 / 80.7; AISC 89.7 / 96.9 / 111.3 / 97.9 / 98.5; cash operating margin 31.6 / 23.1 / -4.4 / -8.0 / 10.0 $/dmt and 26.1% / 19.3% / -4.1% / -8.9% / 9.2%; revenues 472.3 / 414.5 / 356.9 / 403.9 / 1,647.6 $M; EBITDA 152.4 / 114.3 / 32.8 / 3.7 / 303.2; adjusted EBITDA 158.3 / 105.2 / 78.3 / 23.3 / 365.1; operating cash flow 81.7 / 152.1 / 51.0 / 82.4 / 367.2; net income 65.0 / 23.2 / -41.5 / -48.4 / -1.7; adjusted net income 70.4 / 16.5 / -6.0 / -34.3 / 46.7; EPS 0.12 / 0.04 / -0.07 / -0.09 / 0.00; adjusted EPS 0.13 / 0.03 / -0.01 / -0.06 / 0.09.

Balance sheet: $214.4M cash, $53.3M cash in Kami Iron Mine Partnership, $122.2M working capital, $1,303.1M short- and long-term debt. Liquidity: debt net of cash of $913.2M (including working capital and Kami cash) and $404.1M available loans. Total cash, working capital, Kami cash and undrawn loans of $794.0M. The Company expects liquidity to benefit from selling 1.3M wmt of concentrate inventories held by QIO and Rana Gruber (as at September 30, 2026), from cost reduction and the DRPF's impact on realized prices, and has amended the financial covenants under its senior secured credit facility for added flexibility.

Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
It is the 22-slide webcast deck Champion Iron Limited presented in Montréal on October 29, 2026 for the second quarter of its 2027 financial year. It was lodged with the ASX (ticker CIA; the company is also listed on the TSX and quoted on OTCQX as CIAFF) and covers highlights, Bloom Lake and Rana Gruber segment results, consolidated financials, cash and liquidity, and a market update.
Champion Iron's financial year ends on March 31, not June 30 like many ASX companies. FY2027 therefore runs from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, and Q2 FY2027 covers July to September 2026 (the quarter ended September 30, 2026).
The disclaimer states that all amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Iron ore index prices, realized selling prices before FX conversion and freight are shown in US$, and the price waterfall converts the US$64.0 FOB price into a C$89.9/dmt net realized price.
Per the highlights slide: 3,872,500 wmt of concentrate produced, 4,494,100 dmt sold (a record), revenues of $403.9M, EBITDA of $3.7M and adjusted EBITDA of $23.3M, EPS of $(0.09) and adjusted EPS of $(0.06), total cash cost of $82.9/dmt sold and all-in sustaining cost of $97.9/dmt sold.
DRPF is Champion's Direct Reduction Pellet Feed project at Bloom Lake, which upgrades about half of the mine's capacity to DR-quality (up to 69% Fe) concentrate for direct-reduction steelmaking. The deck says it was completed within its $500M budget (excluding ramp-up costs), produced 0.6M wmt in the quarter, made its inaugural commercial shipment, and is targeting commercial production toward the end of FY2027.
Rana Gruber, the Norwegian producer acquired on April 10, 2026, produced 0.5M wmt (up 40% quarter-over-quarter) and sold 0.6M dmt (up 179%), with total cash cost of $85.3/dmt sold, AISC of $97.1/dmt sold, a net average realized price of $92.5/dmt sold and revenues of $54.3M.
Yes. The page offers the original PDF and an editable PPTX converted from it. The layouts — KPI tiles, quarter-over-quarter tables with a highlighted current column, segment chart grids and waterfall charts — work well as a template for any mining or commodity results presentation; replace Champion Iron's data and branding with your own.
The presentation was released to the ASX Market Announcements Platform and, according to its disclaimer, is also available on SEDAR+ and on Champion Iron's website, alongside the company's MD&A for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026.
