Certain information contained herein regarding Champion Minerals Inc., including

management’s assessment of future plans and operations, may constitute forward-looking

statements under applicable securities law and necessarily involve risks, including but not

limited to risks associated with mining exploration, operating costs, production costs, volatility

of share prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of resource and reserve estimates,

environmental risks and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources.

As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward

looking statements. Plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in any forward-looking

undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statements or information as conditions

change.

The historical mineral resources mentioned are strictly historical in nature and are non-

compliant to National Instrument 43-101 mineral resources and mineral reserves standards,

and should therefore not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to

upgrade or classify the historical mineral resources as current National Instrument NI-43-101

Quebec’s Next Major Iron Ore Mine

Fire Lake North (FLN) Development Project

Nov. 21 2011 PEA indicates ability to produce 8.7 million tonnes of

concentrate per annum for the first 25 years of a 40-year mine life the first

five years will average approximately 10 million tonnes of concentrate per annum

Net Present Value of $4 billion at a discounted cash flow rate of 8% with an

Internal Rate of Return of 41.5% and a payback period of 2.3 years

FLN Mineral Resource Estimate (Oct. 2011): 1.06 billion tonnes

− 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

Established Iron Ore District

Canada’s produces 44 mtpy of iron ore concentrate in the southern end of the

Labrador Trough this is expected to grow to 200 mtpy over the next 10 years if

all proposed development projects are realized.

Established rail, power and port infrastructure

- Quebec’s Plan Nord: $80 billion investment over the next 25 years in

northern Quebec for various projects including infrastructure projects

- Competitive power rates: ~ $0.04 - $0.045; price to be negotiated in 2012

- Initiative for world-class port facilities underway

Proven Team

Strengthened advisory board and board of directors includes former Consolidated

Thompson Iron Mines management and officers

Recent mineral resource update announced (October 6, 2011)

− 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 liberation grind size similar to RTZ/IOC and ArcelorMittal operations nearby

Feasibility Study underway; Several project studies initiated in 2011

13 High Grade - Coarse Specular Hematite Typical Quartz-Specular

Hematite-Magnetite Mineralization

Fire Lake North - Metallurgy

Deposits are coarser grained; at -24 to -28 mesh the SiO2 content is low (3-4%) ;

SPI tests indicate a relatively soft ore; 2nd Phase of tests underway

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

− Coarse liberation grind size (600-850 microns / 20 to 28 mesh) ; product will

be sold as sinter fines ; 80% of the global iron ore market seeks this product

− Low deleterious elemental levels will help to secure market share
