THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Central Iron Ore Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CIO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that four of its applications for exploration licences that are prospective for
the occurrence of Iron Ore in Western Australia have now been successfully
granted. It is expected that the remaining tenements will be granted over the
coming months.
The company now has a total of 10 tenements covering 652km2 (refer table below)
that are located within the Yilgarn Iron Ore Province ("YIOP"). The YIOP is
considered highly prospective, given its history of large-scale iron ore
production, with the Cliffs Natural Resources-owned Koolyanobbing operation
(also formerly operated by Portman Limited) currently producing at a rate of
about 8Mtpa of Direct Shipping Ore ("DSO"). The YIOP is increasingly being
recognised as an attractive location for the development of Iron Ore, given its
proximity to rail and access to ports.

The company believes its greater YIOP tenement package provides a significant
platform for the exploration for Iron Ore and will provide a significant, new
future phase of growth for the company.
The initial strategy and objective of the company is to evaluate the occurrence
of both magnetite ore and direct shipping ore within the above tenements to gain
an initial understanding of their respective resource potential.
Work is currently underway in this regard and it is expected that future
announcements regarding both the project status and their resource potential
will follow as appropriate preliminary assessment work is now in progress.
Mr. Brett Hodgins, President and CEO, said, "These new grants are the foundation
for CIO's strategy to commence exploration on our Yilgarn Iron ore tenement
package. This combined with our recent funding reinforces CIO strategy to focus
on future exploration programs to identify sufficient DSO resources to support a
start up project."
