Lamelee Iron Ore Ltd. advancing toward the next iron mine at the southern end of the Labrador Trough close to the Fermont Iron Ore camp

NEW YORK, NY, July 25, 2014 /Sector Newswire/ - Lamelee Iron Ore Ltd. (TSX-V: LIR) (Frankfurt: G11) is identified in a newly issued market bulletin report by Market Equities Research Group. LIR.V is a Canadian mining company that possesses the Lamêlée Iron Ore Project which sits in the heart of Quebec’s and Labrador- Newfoundland’s Fermont-Wabush-Labrador City Iron Ore Camp where iron concentrate production is currently at 35 million tonnes per annum. LIR.V has an experienced team with solid track record; the team tasked with advancing Lamelee are the same individuals that started up the Consolidated Thompson's iron ore operation at Bloom Lake, they advance that project to buy-out, and in the process they brought the stock of Consolidated Thompson up to where they sold it for $17.25 per share in 2011 ($4.9 billion) -- the plan is to replicate that success.

The Objective
• To build the next iron mine at the southern end of the Labrador Trough close to the Fermont Iron Ore camp.
• Pre-production is expected for Q4-2017.

The Plan
• To develop a 5-8M tonnes/year mining operation.
• To produce a low cost, high-grade iron concentrate.
• Capex Below $ 1B
• Opex TARGET $65/T (loaded)
• Innovating mine to port solution.
• Efficient ship loading

The Lamelee South deposit is interesting from an economic point of view as it has a lot of iron formation squeezed into a relatively small area, a study indicates 100% of the Inferred Resources are in the pit shell (the area where the mining is expected to take place).

Resource

The Lamêlée Iron Ore deposit contains, as of today, Inferred Mineral Resources 520 million tonnes grading 39.5% Fe2O3 (or 27.6% FeT) - work to be completed in 2014 should increase the size and the quality of the iron resources towards 750 million tonnes at the same grade.

The following table outlines incremental tonnages and Iron grades at various cut-off grades:



The Whittle Open-Pit Shells Study resulted in outlining two shells: the first a smaller open-pit shell of 315 million tonnes at a grade of 41.2% Fe2O3 (28.8% FeT); the second a larger open-pit shell of 520 million tonnes at a grade of 39.5% Fe2O3 (27.6% FeT). A comparison of results demonstrates the amenability of the Inferred MRE to potential open pit mining with 100% of Inferred MRE reporting within a conceptual open-pit shell.

Expectations of a highly economic mining operation

Lamêlée Iron Ore expects a viable project producing 5-8 million tonnes of concentrate. Using existing rail and new port infrastructure, between $750 million to $1 billion in capital costs and total operating costs between $60 and $70 per tonne at a sustainable iron ore price of $120-$130 CFR per tonne.


Plans

LIR.V plans to conduct metallurgical test work and produce a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Study (using economic parameters with a +- 30%) for delivery in Q4-2014.


Financing requirements:

•$3M to complete STEP I including additional drilling and to initiate environmental assessment.
•$7M to initiate and complete STEP II in 2015.


Experienced team

Lamêlée Iron Iron Ore will be managed and operated by members of the team that brought the Bloom Lake iron deposit to production within 4 years of the feasibility study. The company was acquired for $4.9B at $17.25 per share. Click here for CVs of Board of Directors.

No issues

Permitting (environmental, socio-political, First Nations) will not be an issue, since the processing technology follows current industry standards (ie., water is used as the main driver of concentration and there are no deleterious elements in the iron ore); there is only one First Nations group present in the Fermont area which has dealt favorably with the Bloom Lake operation; and Quebec’s and Labrador- Newfoundland’s Fermont-Wabush-Labrador City Iron Ore Camp has a history of iron mining since the 1960’s.

Deposit insight

Work performed:

• Resource Modeling (57 DDH’s / 18,220m)
• 3-D mineralization
• Iron grade estimate
• Samples for future metallurgical test work
• Higher grade BIF’s -43% Fe2O3, hematite and magnetite ore
• Geophysics program / Gravimetryand Mag Survey

Course hematite and magnetite -- the course grain lends to the expectation to having a cost efficient process. Preliminary specs show very good material with low impurity.
