    products.

  * Dannemora has signed a contract with ArcelorMittal to supply approx. 26,000
    tonnes of iron ore products. The new agreement should be seen as the

    iron ore products as a first step towards a longer collaboration.

  * Dannemora Mineral has decided to issue a convertible loan of between SEK
    130 million (min) and SEK 150 million (max). The loan is subject to approval
    by an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 12 November.

  * Hargs Hamn AB has received an environmental permit to make a deeper channel
    into the port, which will mean that larger vessels can be used for the
    Company's iron ore shipments, thereby allowing lower transport costs per
    tonne.

  * In view of the convertible loan, Dannemora Mineral has decided not to
    implement the private placement of SEK 130,000,000 or the repair issue of
    approx. 1 million shares previously announced.
