This news release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements” as that term is used in applicable

securities law. All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, including, without

limitation, statements regarding the statutory hold period and the deferred payment to 154619 Canada

Inc, 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", “intends”, "expects" or "does not

expect", "scheduled", "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain

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

achieved. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results

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 presentation, the Company has applied several material

assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that: (1) there being no significant disruptions

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 interim management discussion

and analysis filed November 23, 2023 (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 TSXV and other regulatory authorities. Such factors include, among others, risks

related to the ability of the Company to obtain adequate insurance; 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; 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.
