OVERVIEW
The Company, through its majority owned subsidiaries Labrador Iron Mines Limited (“LIM”) and Schefferville Mines
Inc. (“SMI”), is engaged in the exploration and development of iron ore projects in the central part of the Labrador
Trough region, one of the major iron ore producing regions in the world, situated in the Menihek area in the Province
of Newfoundland and Labrador and in the Province of Quebec, centered near the town of Schefferville, Quebec.
LIM owns extensive iron ore resources as well as mineral exploration claims in Newfoundland and Labrador and in
Quebec (collectively, the “Schefferville Projects”). LIM holds measured and indicated DSO mineral resources of
approximately 55 million tonnes at an average grade of 56.8% Fe and inferred resources of 5.0 million tonnes at an
average grade of 55.6% Fe on its Schefferville Projects. LIM also holds approximately 50 million tonnes in historical
resources in various deposits.
In addition, LIM holds the Elizabeth Taconite Project, which has an inferred mineral resource estimate (as at June
15, 2013) of 620 million tonnes at an average grade of 31.8% Fe.
In light of persistently stronger iron ore prices over the past two years, and with increased inquiries and expressions
of interest from potential off-takers seeking iron ore supply and encouragement from local indigenous stakeholders,
LIM is now working to advance Stage 2 of its planned direct shipping ore mining operations, which involves the
development of its Houston Project, located about 20 km southeast of Schefferville. Subject to securing development
financing, LIM is working to commence production of direct shipping iron ore from the Houston deposits at the earliest
opportunity.
As the appropriate next step to advance the Houston Project, LIM has engaged Roscoe Postle Associates Inc.
(RPA), now part of SLR Consulting Ltd. (SLR), to complete an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
and a current NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Houston deposit to be used for consideration of possible
financing options to advance the Houston Project. The PEA is expected to be
