SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 19 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 18, 2017, all conditions were satisfied to complete a court-supervised sale of the Wabush Scully Mine assets to a third-party buyer. The buyer agreed to provide replacement financial assurance for environmental obligations of the Wabush Scully Mine, thus eliminating the Company's liability. As a result of this arrangement, the remaining guarantee instruments that supported the Wabush Mine environmental obligations are in the process of being cancelled and, as a result, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company will eliminate the Guarantees liability balance recorded as of June 30, 2017 of $38.5 million. We expect the closing of this sale to result in a gain of approximately $30 million during the third quarter of 2017.
