  Cleveland-Cliffs Closes on Transaction to Acquire 30% Interest in Brazilian Mine Project
  Cleveland, OH—March 5, 2007—Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE: CLF) today announced that it has completed the previously announced transaction to acquire a 30 percent interest in the Amapá Mine, a Brazilian iron ore project.
  Cliffs purchased 100 percent of the shares of Centennial Asset Mining Fund LLC, an affiliate of MMX Mineração e Metálicos SA ("MMX"), whereby it acquired 30 percent of the Amapá Project. Cliffs purchased the shares of Centennial Amapá for $133 million. The all-cash transaction was financed with cash on hand.
  It is currently estimated that $350 million of additional capital will be required for the project to become fully operational, which will include approximately $250 million of project-level debt financing. Cliffs will be responsible for its 30 percent pro-rata share of equity capital. These funds will be used to procure mining equipment, construct an ore beneficiation plant and update rail and port infrastructure to support the project.
  Cleveland-Cliffs President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph A. Carrabba said, "We are pleased to close this transaction, which marks Cliffs' initial Latin American endeavor, and look forward to contributing to its long-term success.
  "The project will employ its own management team, with Cliffs providing technical and administrative services, pursuant to a technical services agreement. Oversight of Cliffs' interest in this project, as well as other potential opportunities in the region, will be coordinated from Cliffs' newly opened office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil," he concluded.
  The Amapá Project includes a significant iron ore deposit and a 192 kilometer railway connecting the mine location to an existing port facility and 71 hectares of real estate on the banks of the Amazon River, reserved for a loading terminal. Annual production capacity is anticipated to be approximately 6.5 million tonnes of iron ore concentrate.
