MRE Martinrea International Inc

CHAMPION IRON MINES LIMITED (TSX:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion" or the
"Company") reports that Cartier Iron Corporation ("Cartier Iron") earlier today
announced an initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Penguin Lake
Project ("Penguin Lake") located within what Cartier Iron refers to as the
recently consolidated Round Lake Property, one of the Gagnon Holdings referred
to by Champion as "Cluster 3". The Gagnon Holdings are currently being explored
pursuant to an option agreement with Champion whereby Cartier Iron was granted
the right to earn a 65% interest in the iron-rich mineral concession (see
Champion's press release dated December 10, 2012).


As reported by Cartier Iron, the MRE reported 531.1 million tonnes grading 33.1%
Total Iron ("FeT") of In-pit Inferred Resources at a 15% FeT cut-off grade. The
MRE was completed by Abder Ladidi, P. Geo., an independent QP of MRB &
Associates ("MRB") of Val-d'Or, Quebec, based on 10 drill holes totalling 3,315
m, completed by Cartier Iron between January 16th and February 23rd, 2013. A
summary of the Mineral Resource Estimate and resource estimation methodology can
be found in Cartier Iron's press release dated December 19, 2013, which is
available on their corporate website at www.cartieriron.com and is also be
posted under Cartier Iron's filings at www.sedar.com. 


The 10 drill holes that define the MRE drilled only the southern portion of the
deposit. The deposit occurs in the form of a multiply refolded tightly
overturned synform that produces a bowl-like shape of shallow dipping iron
formation host rock. No recent drilling has been completed in the northern
portion of the deposit however, the strong correlation of magnetic response to
where iron formation surfaces and a historic drill hole located in the NW
portion of the deposit allow for projection of the modelled iron formation and
an estimate of the exploration target potential(1). The interpreted 3D model of
iron formation includes an additional 700 to 900 million tonnes of similar grade
as suggested by the current Inferred Resource, predominantly in the undrilled
portion of the deposit to the north and northwest where additional resources
might be identified. 


Thomas Larsen, Champion's President and C.E.O. commented, "I would like to echo
the comments made earlier by Cartier Iron's President John Langton and state
that this inaugural drilling campaign was indeed an unqualified success. With
the ten-fold increase of the historic resource, the updated resource makes the
Penguin Lake deposit the largest iron resource in the southern Gagnon Terrane in
the southern Labrador Trough. It is significant to note that the current
resource comprises less than half of the modelled bowl-shaped deposit, pointing
to a huge upside resource potential in the areas to the north and west, where
the iron formation is interpreted to re-surface."


Cartier Iron also reported that additional work in the near-term at Penguin Lake
will include metallurgical studies followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment
to establish the parameters required for the future development of the project.
