Forward Looking Statement

Except for statements of historical fact, this presentation contains certain “forward-looking information”

within the meaning of applicable securities law. Forward-looking information is frequently characterized by

words such as “plan”, “project”; “intend”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or

statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements are based

on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a

variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ

materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual

results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices for metals, the

conclusions of detailed feasibility and technical analyses, lower than expected grades and quantities of

mineralization and resources, mining rates and recovery rates and the lack of availability of necessary

capital, which may not be available to the Corporation on terms acceptable to it or at all, changes in and

the effect of government policies with respect to mineral exploration and exploitation, the ability to obtain

required permits, delays in exploration and development projects and the possibility of adverse

developments in the financial markets generally, potential environmental issues and liabilities associated

with exploration and development and mining activities. The Corporation is also subject to the specific

risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. The

Corporation undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or

management’s estimates should change except as required by law. The reader is cautioned not to place

undue reliance on forward-looking statements. More detailed information about potential factors that

could affect financial results is included in the documents that may be filed from time to time with the

Canadian securities regulatory authorities by the Corporation.

Note: The PEA is preliminary in nature. It may incorporate inferred

mineral resources which are considered too geologically

speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them

that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

There can be no certainty that the estimates contained in the PEA

will be realized. In additional, mineral resources that are not

mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Altius iron ore projects have been

divided into four broad groups based on

the geology and iron ore target type:

Schefferville: potential for direct-shipping ore

(DSO) comprised of soft red hematite-goethite

typical of what was previously mined (and

currently being re-opened) in the Schefferville

camp; also potential for taconite.

Astray: potential for large resources of taconite as

well as high-grade specularite-rich DSO similar to

Sawyer Lake. A portion of the Astray has been

spun out to Northern Star which will assume the

exploration obligations while Century maintains a

20% therein.

Menihek: target is large tonnage magnetite-rich

taconite similar in structure and geological setting

to the large Labmag/Kemag deposits to the north.

Grenville: targets are polydeformed, recrystallized

magnetite-specularite taconite akin to the deposits

mined by IOCC at Carol Lake.

Shipping Considerations

Commercial shipping in Hudson Bay has

been well established for 70+ years (e.g.

Port of Churchill)

James Bay water depths permit deep-sea

marine terminal for Capesize vessels, 80-

100 metres in Hudson Bay.

Up to 150 days of ice-free shipping, year-

round shipping with ice class vessels

Possible future direct North-West Passage

to Asia

Ongoing Studies

Identified two locations for port site

Extensive shipping study is underway

Partnering with shipping and

engineering companies to work out

logistic options

Rio Tinto Vale FMG BHP China Demand World Seaborne

Big 3 produced more than

China bought

China is expected to buy more

from the big 4 than they can

produce

The big 4 have dominated the supply side, but even they can’t

keep up with China’s growing reliance on seaborne ore. This

creates room for new suppliers.
