MESABI TRUST

Mesabi Trust operates as a royalty trust with business activities focused on iron ore mining. The entity holds mineral and land properties that are leased to mining operators, primarily Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. and its subsidiary Northshore Mining Company. Its core function involves collecting royalty revenues generated from mining and pelletizing activities, meeting administrative liabilities, and distributing the remaining net income to certificate holders. The trust functions without traditional executive officers, employees, or an internal board of directors, relying on a corporate trustee and individual trustees to oversee legal, financial, and operational matters.

The trust's operations and royalty properties relate to mineral lands and taconite processing facilities located in Minnesota, specifically encompassing mining operations near Babbitt and pelletizing facilities situated in Silver Bay. An independent fee office monitors shipments, crude ore scales, boat loaders, and inventory stockpiles across these sites. Mesabi Trust does not maintain dedicated corporate headquarters in the traditional sense, conducting trust business through its individual trustees and corporate trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.
