QIT-Fer et Titane (formerly Quebec Iron and Titanium Corporation), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Anglo-Australian group Rio Tinto, is engaged in mining one of the largest known ilmenite deposits in the world. The ore mineral is an exsolution intergrowth of ilmenite and hematite in a ratio of approximately 2:1. The deposit is hosted by anorthosite in the Havre-Saint-Pierre anorthositic suite in the Grenville Province. The mine is 43 kilometres north of the port of Havre-Saint-Pierre on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The ore is treated in a metallurgical plant in Sorel-Tracy on the Saint Lawrence River, 885 kilometres upstream from Havre-Saint-Pierre.
