Forward Looking Statement
Except for statements of historical fact, this presentation contains certain “forward-looking information”
within the meaning of applicable securities law. Forward-looking information is frequently characterized by
words such as “plan”, “project”; “intend”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or
statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements are based
on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a
variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices for metals, the
conclusions of detailed feasibility and technical analyses, lower than expected grades and quantities of
mineralization and resources, mining rates and recovery rates and the lack of availability of necessary
capital, which may not be available to the Corporation on terms acceptable to it or at all, changes in and
the effect of government policies with respect to mineral exploration and exploitation, the ability to obtain
required permits, delays in exploration and development projects and the possibility of adverse
developments in the financial markets generally, potential environmental issues and liabilities associated
with exploration and development and mining activities. The Corporation is also subject to the specific
risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. The
Corporation undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or
management’s estimates should change except as required by law. The reader is cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. More detailed information about potential factors that
could affect financial results is included in the documents that may be filed from time to time with the
Canadian securities regulatory authorities by the Corporation.

Water Canada, particularly Quebec, enjoys
abundant water, which is important for
concentration operations
Electricity
Located near Hydro-Québec’s James Bay
Robert-Bourassa hydro-electric power
plant on La Grande River, the world’s 10th
largest, which will provide low-cost energy
for the project
ABUNDANT WATER AND ELECTRICITY IN THE AREA
Direct Benefits:
• Reduced cost of construction and operation of facilities to supply water and electricity
• Long-term competitive advantage for concentration and pelletizing operations

Pipeline Solution in a
Well-Studied Area
A planned 150km slurry pipeline1
between the hydro plant in
Radisson and the slurry receptor
plant on James Bay.
Based on historic data and
compared with similar existing
pipeline systems in commercial
operations, the operating cost
is estimated at US$1.00~1.25 per
tonne2
Plan Nord identifies a proposed
nearby deep-water port location at
Kuujjuaraapik (200km north of
Duncan Project) Note: 1) Where the pipeline crosses junctions or rivers, it will be constructed
above-ground with insulation or heat tracing techniques to reduce the negative
operational impact of extreme cold. 2) Based on publicly available sources and
management calculations.

Shipping Considerations
• Commercial shipping in Hudson Bay
has been well established for 70+ years
(e.g. Port of Churchill)
• James Bay water depths permit deep-sea
marine terminal for Capesize vessels, 80-
100 metres in Hudson Bay.
• Up to 150 days of ice-free shipping,
year-round shipping with ice class vessels
• Possible future direct North-West
Passage to Asia
Ongoing Studies
• Identified two locations for port site
• Extensive shipping study is underway
• Partnering with shipping and engineering
companies to work out logistic options

The Altius iron ore package has been
divided into four broad groups based on
the geology and iron ore target type:
Schefferville: potential for direct-shipping ore
(DSO) comprised of soft red hematite-goethite
typical of what was previously mined (and
currently being re-opened) in the Schefferville
camp; also potential for taconite.
Astray: potential for large resources of
taconite as well as DSO comprised of high-
grade specularite-rich DSO similar to Sawyer
lake.
Menihek: target is large tonnage magnetite-
rich taconite similar in structure and geological
setting as the large Labmag/Kemag deposits
to the north.
Grenville: targets are polydeformed,
recrystallized magnetite-specularite taconite
akin to the deposits mined by IOCC at Carol
Lake.
