Forward Looking Statement
This Presentation contains ‘‘forward-looking information’’ within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information is based on what management
believes to be reasonable assumptions, opinions and estimates of the date such statements are made based on information available to them at that time, including those factors discussed
in the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2011 (and dated March 26, 2012) or as may be identified in the
Company’s public disclosure from time to time, as filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to,
statements with respect to results of the Feasibility Study (as defined below) and the mineral reserve and resource estimate, the future financial or operating performance of the Company,
its subsidiaries and its projects, the development of and the anticipated timing with respect to the Shymanivske project, the ability to obtain financing; and the impact of concerns relating
to permitting, regulation, governmental and local community relations. Generally, forward looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans",
"expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Estimates underlying the results of the Feasibility Study
arise from engineering, geological and costing work of WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd. (“WorleyParsons”), Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited (“WGM”), Consulting Geologists and
Engineers of Toronto, P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) and the Company. See the technical report relating to the feasibility study for a description of all relevant estimates, assumptions
and parameters. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: general business, economic,
competitive, geopolitical and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; other risks of the mining industry and the risks described in the annual information
form of the Company. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking
information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as
actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. The
Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
This Presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an
offering or solicitation. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy or completeness of the information set out herein, and nothing contained herein is, or
shall be relied upon, as a promise or representation, whether as to the past or future.
Bankable Feasibility Study (the “Feasibility Study”) – For additional information, please see the Company’s press release dated November 15, 2012.
*Resource estimate compiled using historic Soviet data by Hugues de Corta, who is an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. Readers should not place undue reliance on
historical estimates.
*The mineral resource estimate for the Shymanivske Project is based on results from 185 historical drill holes totaling 37,316 meters and 60 Black Iron drill holes, which were drilled during
the Company’s Twin Hole drill program and the Definition Drill program, totaling 16,518 meters and is effective as of September 2012. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limted (“WGM”),
Consulting Geologists and Engineers of Toronto, Canada, was retained to audit an in-house mineral resource estimate completed by Black Iron. Mr. Michael Kociumbas, P.Geo, Vice-
President of WGM and Mr. Richard Risto, P.Geo, Senior Geological Associate of WGM, were retained by Black Iron as independent technical consultants and are Qualified Persons as defined
by NI 43-101 and are responsible for reviewing and approving this mineral resource estimate. The Feasibility Study was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of National Instrument 43-
101 by the independent firms of WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited and P&E Mining Consultants Inc.
*Matt Simpson President & CEO of Black Iron, a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.

Large Ore Deposit with Growth Potential
• Banded iron formation consisting primarily of
magnetite with some hematite
− Iron band thickness ranges from 40-80 m
− Only 9.7-21.2 m of overburden
− Very clean ore body low in phosphorus,
manganese and aluminum
• The resource is defined by ~37,000 metres
of historical drilling
― Black Iron recently completed a Twin Hole Drill
Program consisting of 6,042 metres and a
Phase II Drill Program consisting of 11,435
metres of infill drilling
― Total iron grade and band width align very well
with historical data
• Potential for total combined resource
expansion of 1.1 to 1.8BT
− Additional drilling of Shymanivske at North end
of deposit and to depth
− Exploration of the Zelenivske project

Potential Resource Extension at Shymanivske
Ground Gravity Shows Iron Ore Mineralization at North End
• Ground gravity and magnetic surveys
show potential extension of iron ore
mineralization at North end of property as
circled in red
• This area has not been included in the NI
43-101 resource as it has not yet been
sufficiently drilled
• The identified area will be a target of a

Excellent Infrastructure
Key to a Successful Iron Ore Project
• Paved roads to site, located 35km away from the
major city of Kryviy Rih which has a skilled work force
• Surplus electricity readily accessible from high voltage
power lines that run beside property
• ~2 km from main state-owned rail line
• Confirmation in July 2010 from Ukrainian Government
that there is sufficient capacity to haul at least an
additional 20 million tonnes of iron ore per annum
• 5 deep water ports accessible by rail with iron ore
facilities available
• Preferred port option is Yuzhny located ~390 km away
and providing access to the Black Sea and global
seaborne iron ore markets

14. TSX: BKI

Strategic Global Location
Close Proximity to Target Markets with Abundant Port and Rail Access
• Project is surrounded by steel mills in Europe, Turkey
and the Middle East
• River barge & rail access to Western Europe.
• Five dry bulk tonnage ports accessible using railway
running beside properties
• Approx 20% to 25% shorter transport distance to
growth markets of India and China compared to
North and South American producers
• Excellent Ukrainian logistical
advantages
• Densely populated
roadway infrastructure
• 468 million tonnes of
cargo transported via rail
• 155 million tonnes of
cargo transported via ship

Global Distribution of Fe Reserves &
Fe Production
• Black Iron’s projects are located in the heart of
Ukraine’s iron ore belt
– 35km from city of 750,000 people
• Iron ore district trends 300 km with sedimentary rock
hosted banded iron formations (Dnenpovskog complex)
• Historically well explored resource base but
substantially under-exploited due to historic Soviet
policy
• 15 iron ore mines in Ukraine produced 88 million
tonnes in 2012

* BFS model prices for iron ore concentrate are based on the mean forecasted benchmark
price for 62% iron concentrate, shipped from Brazil to China, of 20 investment banks across
the globe: 2016 = $105; 2017 = $97; Long-term = $95. The mean forecasted benchmark
price is then adjusted to reflect shorter shipping to target market, and adjusted for iron
content at the rate of $5 per 1% of additional iron content (6 x $5 = $30)
