Minerals Canada ("Tata"), a subsidiary of Tata Steel Limited, to establish a
strategic relationship between LIM and Tata whereby the two companies have
agreed to co-operate with each other in various aspects of their iron ore
operations in the Labrador Trough and enter into definitive agreements to
formali se this arrangement in due course.

The key points of this arrangement are:

  * LIM and Tata will work together to ensure the successful joint development
    of rail and port infrastructure facilities at Schefferville and Sept-Iles.
   
  * Tata will purchase an initial 51% joint venture interest in LIM's Howse
    deposit for a $30 million cash payment to LIM.
   
  * LIM will acquire the right to develop the Tata Timmins 4 deposit at a rate
    of $2 per tonne .
   
LIM and Tata operate adjacent DSO iron ore projects in the Province of
Newfoundland and Labrador and in the Province of Quebec, and intend to utilize
the same rail and port infrastructure.

The strategic relationship will include multi-part co-operation agreements in
areas of logistics , property rationali sation , ancillary support and
potential off-take arrangements. As part of the logistics agreements, the
companies will formali se arrangements for development of the rebuilt rail line
that will pass through LIM's Silver Yards facilities from Tata's new Timmins
Area processing plant to the TSH main rail line.

The companies also plan to continue to co-operate on the upgrade of the TSH
rail line that connects Silver Yards/Timmins spur line to the QNS&L line and on
other areas of future logistics operations such as camp accommodations, the
sharing of ore cars, flat bed freight cars and rail car repair facilities.

The co-operation agreement will also include participation in developing
infrastructure at the Port of Sept-ÃŽles with the objective of establishing
access and terminal facilities for both companies to the Port's new deep sea
multi-user dock.

As part of the strategic relationship, LIM and Tata have agreed to enter into a
transaction for the development of LIM's Howse deposit and Tata's Timmins 4
deposit. LIM will sell a 51% interest in its Howse deposit to Tata. The Howse
deposit, located about 25 kilometres north of LIM's James Mine and Silver Yards
processing plant, has a historical resource of 28 million tonnes and is part of
LIM's proposed Stage 3 project, currently expected to be developed about 2020.
It is expected that significant cost savings and synergies can be achieved by
processing Howse ore through Tata's adjacent Timmins Area plant.

As part of the proposed cooperation arrangements, and fulfillment of certain
conditions precedent, LIM will receive a cash injection of $30 million. LIM may
also acquire up to 100% interest in Tata's "Timmins 4" deposit, located about 2
kilometres from Howse, at a consideration of $3 million payable from sales of
Timmins 4 ore at $2 per tonne. In future, Tata has an option to inject up to
$25 million into the Howse project to further increase its interest in the
Howse deposit to 70%.

In a separate release Mr H.M. Nerurkar, MD of Tata Steel Limited noted "The
proposed arrangement with LIM is expected to enhance the raw material security
for the group and streamline the logistics of the DSO Project"

LIM's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Kearney said "This is a
transformational arrangement for LIM that has the potential to provide
significant cost synergies, position LIM to address key logistics and
infrastructure issues and expedite the development of LIM's Howse deposit. The
$30 million in cash proceeds from the proposed arrangements will be used by LIM
to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and exploration requirements
for the 2013 operating season".
