Dannemora Mineral AB: Interim Report January - March 2009



* In the first quarter of 2009, Dannemora Mineral signed a letter
    of intent with four European steel companies for future iron ore
    deliveries. In view of the weak economic situation, the steel
    companies have expressed a wish to postpone the trial deliveries
    provided for in the agreement. Dannemora therefore decided in
    March to delay the mine's production start until summer 2011.

  * In order to maintain the company's good financial position and
    not be dependent on external financing in the next few years,
    Dannemora Mineral decided in the first quarter to postpone
    non-time-critical investments.

  * In February 2009, rock work in the Dannemora mine began with ramp
    development and and tunnelling work. This has generated iron ore
    which is mainly intended for trial deliveries to potential
    customers.

  * In January 2009, Dannemora Magnetit AB and a number of interested
    parties signed a declaration of intent with the Swedish Rail
    Administration on the renovation of the railway line on the
    Örbyhus - Dannemora - Hargshamn - Hallstavik section, which will
    bring Dannemora cost-efficiency and environmental advantages.

  * Dannemora Mineral was awarded an exploration permit for
    Riddarhyttan 3 in the first quarter. The new permit and
    Riddarhyttan 1 cover historically calculated "proven and probable
    iron ore" of just over 12 million tonnes. Dannemora Mineral
    believes there is good scope for substantially increasing the
    mineral reserves in the area.

  * Profit/loss after net financial items in Q1 2009 amounted to SEK
    -5.7 (-4.6) million.

  * Cash flow from operations for Q1 2009 amounted to SEK -8.0 (-5.7)
    million.

  * Investments during the quarter amounted to SEK 26.4 (17.3)
    million.

  * Cash & cash equivalents at 31 March 2009 amounted to SEK 120.6
    (55.5) million.
