             Century Iron Announces Formation of Sunny Lake Joint Venture with WISCO

Toronto, Canada November 28, 2012 – Century Iron Mines Corporation (“Century Iron” or the
“Company”) announces that Century Iron and WISCO International Resources Development &
Investment Limited (“WISCO International”) have today completed the formation of their joint venture
for Century Iron’s Sunny Lake iron property (the “Sunny Lake Project”). The formation of the joint
venture was completed further to the joint venture agreement dated December 19, 2011 (the “Sunny
Lake Joint Venture Agreement”) between Century Iron, Century Iron’s subsidiary 0849873 B.C. Limited
(“Century”), WISCO International and WISCO Canada Sunny Lake Resources Development & Investment
Limited (“WISCO Sunny Lake”).

The Sunny Lake Joint Venture Agreement provides that WISCO Sunny Lake will make an aggregate
investment valued at $40 million into the Sunny Lake Project. The investment will be completed
through (i) a reimbursement of Century for certain exploration expenditures incurred on the Sunny Lake
Project to date, and (ii) the funding of new exploration expenditures for the Sunny Lake Project. WISCO
Canada will reimburse Century for exploration expenses incurred on the Sunny Lake Project from
January 13, 2011 to November 28, 2012, after accounting for tax credits received by Century in
connection with these exploration expenses and subject to audit. WISCO will on a going forward basis
fund new exploration expenses for Sunny Lake until the aggregate of its reimbursement of Century and
new exploration expenses funded is valued at $40 million. At that point, Century will own 60% and
WISCO Sunny Lake will own 40% of the Sunny Lake joint venture and moving forward each of Century
and WISCO Sunny Lake will fund their pro rata share of exploration expenses in accordance with their
ownership interests in the Sunny Lake joint venture. The expenses to be reimbursed by WISCO include
certain exploration expenses incurred by Century in completing the drilling and related exploration
programs at Rainy Lake that led to the initial resource statement on the Full Moon deposit on October
22, 2012.

Century and WISCO Sunny Lake have formed a management committee for the Sunny Lake joint venture
in accordance with the Sunny Lake Joint Venture Agreement. The management committee will oversee
the exploration and development of the Sunny Lake Project on behalf of the joint venture. Operations
will be carried out by WISCO Century Sunny Lake Iron Mines Ltd., the operator company incorporated by
Century and WISCO Sunny Lake to carry out the joint venture operations at the Sunny Lake Project. The
interests of each of Century and WISCO Sunny Lake will be subject to dilution as provided in the Sunny
Lake Joint Venture Agreement. Management of the Sunny Lake Joint Venture will be carried out
together by Century and WISCO Sunny Lake in accordance with the Sunny Lake Joint Venture
Agreement, a copy of which is available on SEDAR. The terms of the Sunny Lake Joint Venture
Agreement are described in detail in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form, which is also
available on SEDAR.

Mr. Sandy Chim, President & CEO of Century Iron commented that “The formation of the Sunny Lake
joint venture again demonstrates the commitment of our strategic partner, WISCO International, to
Century Iron’s iron ore projects. We have made substantial progress in advancing our exploration
programs at the Sunny Lake Project with the investment commitment of WISCO International. These
exploration programs have led to our first resource statement on the Full Moon deposit that we
announced on October 22, 2012. The proceeds of WISCO’s investment under the Sunny Lake Joint
Venture Agreement will help to both advance our exploration at the Sunny Lake Project and enable us
to complete a preliminary economic analysis on the Full Moon deposit and explore the direct shipping
ore (“DSO”) targets on the property. We continue to believe that the Full Moon Deposit and the DSO
targets offer the potential to be a strategic development project well positioned to fulfill the needs of
WISCO International as our strategic end user, and that the closing of the Sunny Lake Joint Venture
today is consistent with that belief”.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof. The forward-looking statements and information in this press release includes

The forward-looking information is based on certain assumptions which could change materially in the future, including the assumptions that the contemplated reimbursement, investments and joint ventures will be completed and that any required regulatory approvals will be obtained. Such statements and information reflect the current view of the Company with respect to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in those forward-looking statements and information. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or other future events, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risks that the Sunny Lake project may be uneconomic to bring into production, that no economic assessments of the Sunny Lake project has been completed, that reserves have not and may not be established and general risks associated with access to capital, required necessary permitting and regulatory process, prices of iron ore, general market conditions, development, construction and mining operations. Certain of these factors are discussed in greater detail in Century Iron’s most recent annual information form on file with Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and available at www.sedar.com. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of material factors is not exhaustive. When relying on the Company's forward-looking statements and information to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. In addition, while Century Iron has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and accordingly are subject to change after such date. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of our operating environment. Century Iron does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included in this document, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
