The Elizabeth Project is located in Western Labrador, approximately fourkilometres ("km") west of LIM's currently producing James Mine, alongsideexisting infrastructure, including roads, rail bed and power line corridor. In 2011 and 2012, LIM identified two parallel deposit areas at the ElizabethProject by conducting airborne and ground geophysics over the region. LIM'sexploration drilling in 2012 was successful in defining an inferred mineralresource at Elizabeth No. 1 by completing five, HQ-sized diamond drill holestotalling 1,728 metres. Exploration drilling was also successful in identifyingexploration potential in Elizabeth No.2, which is oriented in a parallel zonelocated immediately to the southwest of Elizabeth No.1. Elizabeth Taconite Project Highlights * A total inferred mineral resource of 620 million tonnes at 31.8% Fe has been estimated within Elizabeth No. 1. * A potential 350 million to 600 million tonnes at 31.9% Fe has been estimated in Elizabeth No. 2 . * The initial Elizabeth target measures approximately four km long and is made up of magnetite and hematite dominant zones. There is significant potential for resource expansion, as the deposit remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast. * Results from Davis Tube test work have been extremely positive, indicating concentrate grades of greater than 68.8% Fe in the magnetite zones. * The Elizabeth Project is situated next to the former producing Wishart mine, alongside existing roads, rail bed and power line corridor and is within five km of the town of Schefferville. LIM's current direct shipping iron ore operations are located four km from the Elizabeth Project, with direct rail access to the Port of Sept-Îles. * Airborne and ground geophysics have also highlighted the Gagnon taconite target, located in Québec, a few km from the Elizabeth Project.
