QUEBEC and LABRADOR — New Millennium Capital (NML) of Calgary and a subsidiary of India's Tata Steel are forming a joint venture to bring NML's direct shipping ore (DSO) iron ore project into production. Tata will own 80% of the joint venture and will arrange up to $300 million toward construction, and purchase all of the output.

The DSO project contains 52.5 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves at an average grade of 58.9% Fe, 3.5 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources at an average grade of 59.0% Fe, 5.8 million tonnes of inferred resources at an average grade of 55.8% Fe, and about 40.0 million tonnes of historical resources that are not currently in compliance with 43-101 standards.

The DSO project includes several deposits in Quebec and Labrador near Schefferville, QC. A production start date in Q2 2011 is anticipated. Negotiations are underway on railway, terminal and First Nation agreements.
