For New Millennium, 2012 is going to be a catalyst-rich year. In 2011, its share price peaked at $4.96 on
March 4, just two days before it signed a Binding Heads of Agreement with Tata Steel for the
development of its 100%-owned, giant taconite deposits, LabMag and KéMag. With this kind of response
to just one major catalyst in 2011, we believe that the response to three major catalysts in 2012 ought to
be even greater.
Catalyst #1:
The Company has executed a significant exploration drill program in 2011, for which we believe the
Company will deliver one, or even two brand new multi-billion tonne resource estimates. For
example, based on recent drill results reported by the Company, we now estimate the potential for a
2.1 billion tonne resource at its Lac Ritchie project. The Company has eight other exploration targets
in the Millennium Iron Range that are equally prospective for deposits similar in size to LabMag, KéMag
and Lac Ritchie. Here is the best part: These new taconite deposits are not subject to the Heads of
Agreement it signed with Tata. Any new taconite deposits remain 100%-owned by New Millennium, which
it may freely vend to Tata or any other interested third party. It could also choose to proceed with
development of any of these projects on its own.
Catalyst #2:
New Millennium is scheduled to become Canada’s newest iron ore producer in late Q3/12 or early
Q4/12, with its DSO operation in Schefferville, Québec. Anecdotally, for companies we cover at
Jennings Capital, we have observed that companies approaching first production typically
experience a re-rating in their shares six to eight months prior. We cite as examples Consolidated
Thompson, Copper Mountain (TSX-CUM, SPECULATIVE BUY $8.00) and Labrador Iron Mines Holdings
(TSX-LIM, BUY $11.00). Assuming New Millennium’s DSO project commences production in October
2012, we would expect to start to see a re-rating in NML’s share price some time between February and
April 2012. New Millennium’s DSO project is a 20:80 joint venture with Tata that will produce 4.2 mtpa of
sinter fines, for which Tata will pay 100% of the capital cost, up to a maximum of $300 million. We
estimate $50.1 million in cash flow to NML’s account in 2013, from the DSO project.
Catalyst #3:
In October 2012, we expect New Millennium to deliver a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) on its
LabMag and KéMag taconite projects. Delivery of the DFS starts the clock ticking on Tata’s
exclusive right to form a JV on the projects. Under the terms of the Binding Heads of Agreement with
Tata Steel, NML will receive a 20% free-carried interest on the capital expenditure to build the project, up
to a maximum of $4.85 billion. Beyond that, New Millennium may optionally increase its equity in the

project to 36% by contributing 16% of the equity. Assuming a total capex of $4.85 billion and a debt:equity
ratio of 70:30, NML needs only contribute $232.8 million to gain a 36% interest in the taconite project,
which is projected to produce approximately 25 mtpa of iron ore products. As at September 30, 2011,
New Millennium’s balance in cash and investments was $87.8 million. Beginning in Q4/12, the Company
expects initial cash flows to its account from commencement of production at its DSO operation.
We have observed that NML’s share price responds well to significant catalysts and with three significant
catalysts to come in 2012, we believe New Millennium’s share price is poised for rapid growth in 2012.

Probe Mines easily makes our 2012 Top Picks for three reasons:
1. Our gold comps for Exploration & Development companies are trading at an EV/oz of US$66, as
compared to Probe, which is currently trading at US$28/oz. This alone ought to be compelling
enough to qualify it as a Top Pick. We believe Probe’s resource is a “premium-quality” resource that
ought to demand a premium valuation:
