limitation, statements regarding the Study, the assumptions and pricing contained in the Study, the
economic analysis contained in the Study, the results of the Study, the development of the Hopes Advance
project, mineral resources at the Project, and future plans and objectives of Oceanic are forward-looking
statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “scheduled”, “objective”,

events or results “potentially”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be

could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-looking statements
are based on certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time they are made.
In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material
assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that: (1) there being no significant disruptions
affecting operations, whether due to labour/supply disruptions, damage to equipment or otherwise; (2)
permitting, development, expansion and power supply proceeding on a basis consistent with the
Company’s current expectations; (3) certain price assumptions for iron ore; (4) prices for availability of
natural gas, fuel oil, electricity, parts and equipment and other key supplies remaining consistent with
current levels; (5) the accuracy of current mineral resource estimates on the Company’s property; and (6)
labour and material costs increasing on a basis consistent with the Company’s current expectations.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations are
disclosed under the heading “Risks and Uncertainties ” in the Company’s most recently filed MD&A (a copy
of which is publicly available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under the Company’s profile) and elsewhere
in documents filed from time to time, including MD&A, with the TSX Venture Exchange and other
regulatory authorities. Such factors include, among others, risks related to the ability of the Company to
obtain necessary financing and adequate insurance; the ability of the Company to secure a partner for the
Project; the economy generally; fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward
price of iron ore or certain other commodities (e.g., diesel fuel and electricity); changes in interest rates;
disruption to the credit markets and delays in obtaining financing; the possibility of cost overruns or
unanticipated expenses; and employee relations. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue
reliance on Forward-Looking Statements. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise Forward-Looking Statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
