Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to results of the Feasibility Study (as defined below) and the mineral reserve and resource estimate, the future financial or operating performance of the Company, its subsidiaries and its projects, the development of and the anticipated timing with respect to the Shymanivske project, the ability to obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms; and the impact of concerns relating to permitting, regulation, governmental and local community relations, including the results of upcoming Presidential elections and Western and Russian responses to the results of said elections. Generally, forward looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or “completion of the transaction with Metinvest” or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Estimates underlying the results of the Feasibility Study arise from engineering, geological and costing work of Lycopodium Minerals Canada Ltd. (“Lycopodium”), Soutex Inc. (“Soutex”), Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited (“WGM”), Consulting Geologists and Engineers of Toronto, P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) and the Company.

The technical information contained herein is derived from or a summary of the NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report entitled “Feasibility Study of the Shymanivske Iron Ore Deposit for Black Iron Inc”, dated January 24, 2014 (Prepared by Lycopodium Minerals Canada Ltd. the “Feasibility Study”) – For additional information, please see the Feasibility Study filed on www.sedar.com dated January 24, 2014. *The mineral resource estimate for the Shymanivske Project is based on results from 185 historical drill holes totaling 37,316 meters and 60 Black Iron drill holes, which were drilled during the Company’s Twin Hole drill program and the Definition Drill program, totaling 16,518 meters and is effective as of September 2012. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limted (“WGM”), Consulting Geologists and Engineers of Toronto, Canada, was retained to audit an in-house mineral resource estimate completed by Black Iron. Mr. Michael Kociumbas, P.Geo, Vice-President of WGM and Mr. Richard Risto, P.Geo, Senior Geological Associate of WGM, were retained by Black Iron as independent technical consultants and are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101 and are responsible for reviewing and approving this mineral resource estimate. The Feasibility Study was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101 by the independent firms of Lycopodium Minerals Canada Ltd.; Soutex Mineral & Metallurgical Consultants; Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited; and P&E Mining Consultants Inc.. *Matt Simpson, President & CEO of Black Iron, a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.

Potential Resource Extension at Shymanivske Ground Gravity Shows Iron Ore Mineralization at North End 
•Ground gravity and magnetic surveys show potential extension of iron ore mineralization at North end of property as circled in red 
•This area has not been included in the NI 43-101 resource as it has not yet been sufficiently drilled 
•The identified area will be a target of a future drill program to allow for a second phase process plant expansion to increase production and project value
