Investor FAQs

Cliffs' common shares trade under the ticker symbol CLF on the New York Stock Exchange and the Professional Compartment of NYSE Euronext Paris.

Cliffs was founded in 1847 when 15 Cleveland, Ohio, men pooled their resources to stake a claim on a rich iron ore deposit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Since opening its first mine there in 1850, the Company has been in the forefront of the North American iron ore business, successfully adapting its operations to major changes that have driven many competitors out of business.

Today, Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. is an international mining and natural resources company. A member of the S&P 500 Index, the Company is a major global iron ore producer and a significant producer of high- and low-volatile metallurgical coal.
