In 1847, a group of men from the Cleveland area created the Cleveland Iron Company. Their objective…to explore for minerals in the remote wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, just three years after iron ore was discovered near what is now Negaunee, Michigan, in 1844. Reborn as Cleveland-Cliffs Inc in the mid-1980s, and Cliffs Natural Resources in 2008, the company has remained in the forefront of the North American iron ore business since opening its first mine in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1850. Cliffs Natural Resources is utilizing Intelex's Environmental Management System, Notice of Violations module, and Standard Nonconformances module with Corrective/Preventive Actions.
