VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – February 28, 2017) – Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX: ADV) (“Alderon” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has received the results of the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) on the Rose Deposit of the Kamistiatusset (“Kami”) Iron Ore Property in Western Labrador. The PEA was prepared as a result of a re-scoping exercise of the capital and operating costs of the Kami Project, which was necessary in order to identify the savings that arose as a result of the depressed state of the market that existed over the last several years, changes in ownership and management of assets in the Labrador Trough (including the acquisition by Société du Plan Nord of rail and port infrastructure) and the idling of the neighbouring Wabush Scully Mine (please see news release dated October 19, 2016). With market conditions now improving, it is an ideal time for the completion of the re-scoping exercise.
