Fire Lake North Project
Fire Lake North Project
Growth through Development

 Champion’s flagship development project;
  published a Preliminary Economic
  Assessment (PEA) study in November 2010
  based on 6,000 metres of drilling
     −   PEA indicates ability to produce 7 million
         tonnes of concentrate per annum over a 14-
         year mine life
     −   Approximately 26,000 metres of drilling
         have been completed at Fire Lake North
         since the November 2010 PEA
 Recent mineral resource update announced
     −   Measured and Indicated Resources of
         400.1 million tonnes grading 30.6% total
         iron
     −   Inferred Resources of 661.2 million tonnes
         grading 27.7% total iron
 Metallurgy indicates coarse-grained ore with
  liberation grind size similar to RTZ/IOC and
  ArcelorMittal operations

Fire Lake North - Metallurgy
 High grade and coarse grained deposits with higher grade zones (See Below Left)

 Gravity separation is the typical beneficiation technique in the Fermont
  mining camp; magnetic separation is not included in the current mill design

 Deposits of quartz specularite iron ore are typical of the Fermont area
    − Coarser grind (-850 microns / -20 mesh) (0.85mm) means that this product will
      be sold as sinter feed that comprises 80% of the global iron ore market.
    − The low deleterious element levels should command a premium price.

PEA update will include 26,000 metres of additional drilling

 The new interpretation versus the initial PEA block model and open-pit outline; contains
  increased in-pit resources and will likely reduced strip ratios.

    Fire Lake NorthProject Growth through Development  Champion’s flagship development project; published a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) study in November 2010 based on 6,000 metres of drilling − PEA indicates ability to produce 7 million tonnes of concentrate per annum over a 14- year mine life − Approximately 26,000 metres of drilling have been completed at Fire Lake North since the November 2010 PEA  Recent mineral resource update announced − Measured and Indicated Resources of 400.1 million tonnes grading 30.6% total iron − Inferred Resources of 661.2 million tonnes grading 27.7% total iron  Metallurgy indicates coarse-grained ore with liberation grind size similar to RTZ/IOC and ArcelorMittal operations 15

    Fire Lake North- Metallurgy  High grade and coarse grained deposits with higher grade zones (See Below Left)  Gravity separation is the typical beneficiation technique in the Fermont mining camp; magnetic separation is not included in the current mill design  Deposits of quartz specularite iron ore are typical of the Fermont area − Coarser grind (-850 microns / -20 mesh) (0.85mm) means that this product will be sold as sinter feed that comprises 80% of the global iron ore market. − The low deleterious element levels should command a premium price.
