to release the results of its Current Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") for its
wholly- owned Shymanivske Iron Ore Project in Kriyviy Rih, Ukraine prior to
market open on January 23, 2014. 


Black Iron continues to advance its Shymanivske Project and de-risk its pathway
to production. As previously announced in September and October 2013 and earlier
this month, the Company recently secured access to all three major
infrastructure requirements for a successful iron ore producer including: 20
million tonnes per annum of rail capacity; 140 megawatts of power; and more than
9.5 million tonnes per annum of port capacity. In addition, as announced earlier
in January, Black Iron has obtained all regulatory approvals to complete its
strategic development arrangement with Metinvest B.V., Ukraine's largest company
and a top 10 iron ore producer globally, a partnership that will provide
significant capital and resources towards development of the Project. This
strategic arrangement was originally announced on July 23, 2013 and is expected
to close within two months.
