THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. Central Iron Ore Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CIO) ("CIO" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Mermaid Prospect which is a part of the Company's South Darlot Gold Project. The drill program is based on a review of the historical data from the Barrick JV tenements. Twenty four gold targets were identified from this dataset. Highlights Barrick Historical Data review: -- 1,104 holes drilled on Barrick JV tenements. -- 44,605m drilled on Barrick JV tenements. -- 24 gold targets identified on Barrick JV tenements. -- Significant gold intersections: -- Mermaid Prospect -- 5m at 348.9 g/t Au (including 1m at 1,510 g/t Au). -- 3m at 13 g/t Au. -- 4m at 7.9 g/t Au. -- Endeavour Prospect -- 3m at 88.8 g/t Au. -- 8m at 23.6 g/t Au. Proposed drilling program: -- Mermaid Prospect -- 6 drill holes for approximately 390m. -- Endeavour Prospect -- 8 drill holes for approximately 550m. -- On completion of the drilling the Company envisages that it will have earned a 51% interest in the Barrick JV tenements. CIO can earn an additional 19% interest (equal to a total interest of 70%) by spending an additional AUD$250,000. Proposed Drilling Program Mermaid Prospect The purpose of the drilling at the Mermaid Prospect is to define the geometry, orientation and confidence of the gold mineralisation, conduct metallurgical test work on gold bearing intervals and to drill a HQ diamond drill hole to collect geotechnical data in fresh rock. The drill program will consist of 6 drill holes: -- 3 holes for resource definition. -- 2 holes for metallurgical test work. -- 1 hole for geotechnical data.

Geotechnical data will be collected from the HQ diamond drill hole. If results permit, metallurgical test work will be conducted on gold bearing intervals. The drill program will consist of 8 drill holes: -- 5 holes for resource definition. -- 2 holes for metallurgical test work. -- 1 hole for geotechnical test work. A long section of the Endeavour Prospect can be found here: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/cio918d.jpg Historical Data Review Jonathan Smalley of BM Geological Services was contracted by CIO to build and analyse the historical data provided from Barrick Gold Limited as part of the joint venture agreement for the South Darlot Gold Project. The data consisted of 1,104 drill holes drilling some 44,635 metres. The dataset also included a vast array of geophyscial data which included gravity and magnetics. The table below describes the breakdown of drill information into identified targets. 24 targets have been identified and prioritised from the data review. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prospect Holes Metres --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mermaid 36 2,636 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Endeavour 9 950 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- British King 179 8,123 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loch Ard 71 3,553 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clonmel 104 5,278 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wee Jim 76 3,566 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A1 24 1,282 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Horse 51 2,726 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Prospects 551 16,521 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,101 44,635 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A map of these prospects can be found here: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/cio918e.jpg The significant gold intercepts are listed in the table below.
