Executive summary

  • Northern Iron Limited (“Northern Iron” or the “Company”) has completed an offer of approximately 31.25 million new ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of A$0.64 per share to raise approximately A$20 million (“Institutional Offer”).

Equity Raising

  • Northern Iron will also conduct a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) of up to A$15,000 per shareholder at the same price as the Institutional Offer, capped at A$5 million.

  • Proceeds from the Institutional Offer and SPP will be used for working capital purposes during the production ramp up in 2012 and the Strategic Review.

  • Northern Iron’s Board of Directors has also decided to undertake a review of the Company’s strategic options with a view to maximising value for all shareholders (“Strategic Review”).

  • The Strategic Review will consider corporate and operational strategies and include a review of ownership options available to the Company so as to determine whether a proposal for Northern Iron is available at a price, and on terms, that are in the best interest of all Northern Iron shareholders.

Strategic Review

  • The Strategic Review is expected to take some months to complete. The Company has appointed Goldman Sachs to advise the Company on the Strategic Review. In announcing the Strategic Review, the Company cautions that there is no assurance that the Strategic Review will result in any specific transaction. If it does not, the Company’s Board of Directors believes that Northern Iron has a strong basis to continue to develop as a stand alone company and is well positioned to deliver value to shareholders.

  • The Company’s major shareholders, Tschudi Mining Company approximately 26.5% and OM Holdings Limited approximately 15.6% (prior to the Institutional Offer), are fully supportive of the Strategic Review. Neither Tschudi Mining Company nor OM Holdings Limited participated in the Institutional Offer.

Trading update

  • As reported to the ASX on 7 November 2011: “Investor Update” and 21 November 2011 “Company Update – Financing and Operations”, during the September quarter annualised production rates of 2.2 Mt were regularly achieved, with the overall processing rate being a 12% increase compared to the previous quarter.

  • The Company remains confident that its full year production guidance of between 1.45 – 1.55 Mtpa of dry concentrate remains achievable, ramping up to 2.5 Mtpa in 2012.

Overview of equity raising

  • Institutional placement raising approximately A$20 million, comprising

  • Approximately 31.25 million new Northern Iron Limited ordinary shares to be issued

  • New shares issued will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares from allotment

  • Share Purchase Plan (SPP) will be available to eligible shareholders

  • SPP is capped at A$5 million for a maximum of $15,000 per eligible shareholder

  • SPP booklet to be mailed to eligible shareholders shortly

  • Fixed price of A$0.64 per share represents a:

  • 7.9% discount to last traded price on 28 November 2011 of A$0.695

  • 8.7% discount to 5 day VWAP[1] of A$0.70

  • Proceeds from the Institutional Offer and SPP will be used for working capital purposes during the production ramp up in 2012 and the Strategic Review

  • Proceeds from the Institutional Offer and SPP in addition to the additional tranche of US$9.0 million made available by DNB Bank under the Company’s pre-existing 6 year term debt facility and improved operating cash flow from the recent recovery in iron ore prices (which are up ~US$20/t to US$136/dmt CIF China from the lows of US$116/dmt CIF China) will be used for working capital purposes.

  • It is expected that these funds will enable the Company to maintain an ongoing cash balance of approximately ~US$35 million during the period of production ramp up in 2012 and the Strategic Review.

Medium to Long Term

==> picture [282 x 420] intentionally omitted <==

Northern Iron is pursuing options to increase product quality and to double production

Higher Quality Concentrate

SVG[1] metallurigcal consultants have identified conceptual pathways to significantly improve c0ncentrate quality in the medium term:

  • Sub 4% Silica using mechanical and magnetic classification (expected 2013)

  • Sub 2% Silica using flotation (expected 2014 – providing an approved waste handling and storage method is identified)

Doubling Production

SVG is pursuing a project to double the capacity of the plant to 5.6 Mt of dry concentrate per annum

  • New planning and environmental permits required

  • Engineering scoping study underway

  • Resource / Reserve upgrade underway

  • Marketing strategy for 2015 onwards being reviewed

==> picture [240 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Expansion - Permitting and Approvals

==> picture [290 x 438] intentionally omitted <==

The Company requires 2 significant government approvals to proceed with the expansion:

  • Local Government land use approval

  • Environmental permits for the increase in mineral and other waste emissions

  • To obtain these approvals the following activities and timeline is expected:

  • Approval of the Scope of Work for the Environmental and Social Consequences Investigation – Q1 2012

  • Completion of the Consequences Investigation and submission of the applications and reports – Q2 2013

  • Decision from local government and national environment agency on land use and emission applications – Q4 2013

The Company has appointed Norconsult AS and Wergeland/Apenes to assist it with the preparation of the applications.

13

Marketing Strategy

  • NFE has signed a sales contract with Tata Steel Europe for the period April 2011 to March 2016.

  • TATA Steel has recently locked in a minimum of 1.0 Mtpa per year from 2012-2015, and have requested their full annual buyers option of 0.5Mt for 2012. This means the total offtake quantity is a minimum of 5.2 Mt over the 5 year life of the contract. There is potential to take up to 7.7 Mt if quality improves further.

  • TATA Steel has recently requested that NFE moves to current quarter pricing in Q4 2011 in line with recent changes implemented by other iron ore producers. NFE has agreed to this request. TATA Steel will adjust the timing of the rebate amount for Q4 2011. This is expected to have a net negative impact of US$ 2.5m on NFE revenue in Q4 2011.

  • In January 2011 NFE signed a 5 year agency agreement with OM Holdings Ltd subsidiary OMS Pte Ltd, to act as its exclusive representative for sales to the Asian market

  • NFE controls allocation of tonnages and form of sales contracts

  • OMS can purchase as principal

  • NFE continues to develop its market in other regions / markets

  • In May NFE sold it’s first cargo to GIIC – a pellet plant operator in the Middle East. NFE is continuing a dialogue aimed at securing a long term offtake agreement

  • NFE concluded it’s first non-steel making product sale to a European customer in October.

KEY RISKS

==> picture [240 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Introduction A number of risks and uncertainties, which are both specific to Northern Iron and of a
more general nature, may affect the future operating and financial performance of
Northern Iron and the value of Northern Iron shares. You should carefully consider the
following risk factors, as well as the other information provided to you by Northern Iron
in connection with the Offer, and consult your financial and legal advisers before
deciding whether to invest in the New Shares. The risks and uncertainties described
below are not the only ones facing Northern Iron. Additional risks and uncertainties that
Northern Iron is unaware of, or that it currently considers to be immaterial, may also
become important factors that adversely affect Northern Iron’s operating and financial
performance.
Project throughput and quality There is a risk that circumstances (including unforeseen circumstances) may cause a
delay in implementing the production, quality improvement and expansion timeline.
Failure of the project to deliver the expected production, quality improvement and
expansion will impact revenue.
Commodity Prices Northern Iron derives the majority of its revenue from the sale of iron ore concentrate.
The price of iron ore may fall as a result of a number of factors beyond Northern Iron’s
control, including global supply, decreased demand, currency exchange rates, general
economic conditions, regulatory changes and other factors. Northern Iron cannot
provide an assurance as to the price it will achieve for its iron ore in the future.
Offtake Agreement Northern Iron is party to an offtake agreement for the supply of iron ore concentrate
from its mining operation in northern Norway. The offtake agreement contains
specifications around the quality of concentrate required. There is a risk that Northern
Iron may not produce the quality of concentrate required under the offtake agreement
which may in turn impact upon the revenue and overall financial performance of
Northern Iron.
Production targets and plant availability Achievement of production targets are dependent on improving plant availability. While
significant progress has been made in October and early November, there is no
guarantee that production targets/guidance will be met.

19

==> picture [240 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Foreign exchange The Company intends to convert the bulk of the proceeds of the Offer to Norwegian Kroner
(where a large portion of its costs are incurred) on settlement. However, there is a risk that
the exchange rate may vary between the date of this Presentation and settlement.
Transportable Moisture Limit Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) is the maximum amount of moisture that a concentrate
can contain that allows it to be safely shipped at sea. If the Company is unable to produce
concentrate below its TML the product will not be saleable and the operations of the
Sydvaranger Iron Ore Project may become uneconomic.
Mineral Resources Estimates Mineral Resource estimates (including those contained in this presentation) are expressions
of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Often these estimates
may change significantly when new information becomes available. While the Mineral
Resource estimates contained in this presentation are based upon the Competent Persons
Reports in compliance with JORC standards, there are numerous uncertainties associated
with estimating the quantities and qualities of, and cost to mine, the Mineral Resources.
Major shareholder risk Northern Iron currently has a number of substantial shareholders on its share register who
are supportive of the Strategic Review. There is a risk that these shareholders or other large
shareholders may sell their shares at a future date. This could cause the price of Northern
Iron shares to decline.
Financing The Company has a number of covenants contained within its various financing and lease
facilities. A consequence of a possible breach of these covenants (without a waiver) may
adversely impact Northern Iron’s ability to meet its obligations.

20

==> picture [240 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Key Risks

Litigation risks to Northern Iron may include, but are not limited to, contractual, personal injury, intellectual property disputes, customer claims, and employee claims. If any claim Litigation Risk were to be pursued and be successful it may adversely impact the sales, financial performance or financial position of Northern Iron. Northern Iron ‘s project is subject to Norwegian laws and regulations. Although Northern Iron conducts its operations in a responsible manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, non-compliance with these could in the worst instance result in the cessation of production and substantial liabilities and penalties. There can be no assurance Regulatory Environment that new laws, regulations or stricter policies, once implemented (prospectively or retrospectively), will not oblige Northern Iron to incur significant expenditure which could have a material adverse effect on Northern Irons business, financial condition and operating results or, in an extreme case, prevent the continuation of operations

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Company if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Company. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Company, provided that (a) the Company will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Company is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Company proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding, or disposition of the New Shares as any discussion of taxation related maters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
