Dannemora Mineral AB: Press Release 27 January 2009



RAMP PLACEMENT AND IRON ORE PRODUCTION FOR TRIAL
                DELIVERIES UNDERWAY IN DANNEMORA MINE

The ramp placement project in the Dannemora iron ore mine begins in
late January/early February 2009. The ramp will connect levels 162
and 350 metres, which means heavy vehicles from the surface will be
able to access all parts of the mine.

The ramp placement project itself will generate some iron ore, but
will also allow mining of the Ströms ore, which is one of the
Dannemora field's smaller ores, containing an iron ore reserve of
450,000 tonnes. In order to satisfy the need for trial deliveries to
some of the steel companies with which Dannemora Mineral is
discussing future ore deliveries, some of the Ströms ore will be
mined as early as the first half of 2009.

The crude ore will be refined into lump ore and sintered in a simple
temporary separation plant. The trial deliveries to the steel
companies are scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2009. The
ore will be used for pre-production full-scale testing in the
customers' blast furnaces. Much of the equipment used in the
temporary separation plant will be used in the planned ore processing
plant.

The business discussions on long-term delivery agreements which are
being held with various steel companies are expected to result in
signed agreements during the third quarter of 2009, after the steel
companies have conducted their full-scale testing.

Loan financing for investments in the company's mining operations is
dependent on Dannemora Mineral having established customer
relationships which ensure sale of the company's iron ore products.
Loan financing agreements are expected to be signed when delivery
agreements with steel company customers are in place, i.e. in Q3
2009.
The operational start for the mine and ore processing plant is now
scheduled for autumn 2010, which represents a delay of two quarters.
Despite the delay, full production of 1.5 million tonnes/year of iron
ore products is still expected by the turn of year 2011/2012, as was
previously communicated.
