Dannemora defines strategy for growth


  · The company will be developed into a medium-sized iron ore producer with an
annual production of at least 5 million tonnes of iron ore products
  · Dannemora Iron Ore Development will serve as the Group's platform for being
able to assume an active and clear role in the restructuring of the Swedish iron
ore industry
For some time, the Board of Dannemora has been considering the Company's future
strategy beyond the exploitation of the Dannemora iron ore mine. This discussion
is based on the understanding that when the Dannemora mine is in full operation,
its shareholders must obtain optimal benefit from its profits.

In view of this, the DMAB 5.0 strategy has been established with the aim of
eventually developing the Company into a medium-sized iron ore producer with an
annual production of at least 5 million tonnes of iron ore products. It is not
possible to achieve the target behind the vision solely through the development
of the Dannemora mine and nearby deposits. A review and analysis of measured
deposits in other parts of Bergslagen and northern Sweden has therefore been
conducted. The strategy is summarised in Vision DMAB 5.0.

Vision DMAB 5.0

Dannemora Mineral's vision is to make Dannemora the centre of more extensive
mining in Bergslagen and northern Sweden, and the stated objective is to develop
several mining projects. Top priority is given to production in the Dannemora
mine and the surrounding area. The next step is to develop other deposits and
next on the agenda is Riddarhyttan.

The Company runs a development programme with the working title DMAB 5.0, which
is aimed at planning for the Company's future development and creating a
sustainable mining company, able to conduct profitable operations for many years
to come. DMAB 5.0 illustrates the vision of ultimately reaching an annual
production of at least 5 million tonnes of iron ore products.

This work has led to the realisation that large-scale structural development is
needed to create an industry structure of the right size which will then make it
economically sustainable. This applies in particular to the different projects
in Bergslagen. Dannemora, by virtue of its position as Sweden's only fully
operational private iron ore mine, should have a leading role in this
development.

Dannemora Iron Ore Development AB

For the purpose of streamlining and focusing the business, relevant parts of the
Company's exploration activities and research and development work will be
carried out within the framework of a subsidiary - Dannemora Iron Ore
Development AB.

The reorganization involves a division in terms of the development of the
activities at the Dannemora iron ore mine and the development of regional and
national exploration and business development activities.

Dannemora Iron Ore Development will serve as the Group's platform for being able
to assume an active and clear role in the restructuring of the Swedish iron ore
industry. This is an important prerequisite for the Company's achievement of the
goal of an annual production of at least 5 million tonnes of iron ore products.

Over the next 12-18 months, operations will be financed through existing
exploration budgets. When the Dannemora iron ore mine generates adequate profit
or when the financial situation in other respects allows, more funds will be
invested in the business.
