NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES New Millennium Iron Corp. ("NML" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NML) announced today the initial drill core assay results from its 100% owned Lac Ritchie property and provides an update on its 2011 drilling program for taconite anomalies as well as the processing of KeMag bulk samples for the Taconite Project Feasibility Study. Initial assay results received to date represent 6 out of 40 holes drilled during the summer of 2011. NML is integrating the drill core analysis results into a geological block model for resource determination and classification by SGS Geostat Ltd, Blainville Quebec. Two drills have now moved south to drill the Labrador taconite anomalies owned 100% by NML. Dean Journeaux, President and CEO of NML, said, "We are very pleased with the results so far The drilled area covers a huge 31.5 square kilometer area with an average depth of 50 meters. The setting is very favourable as the mineralized area is covered with shallow overburden and will require minimum stripping. It gently dips around 8 degrees towards the north-east. These results are prospective for the discovery of another major taconite deposit. Now that our two major projects are being advanced, we are increasingly focused on demonstrating the potential of our very large but to date lightly explored, mineralized trend." Lac Ritchie Taconite Property The exploration drilling was completed at the Lac Ritchie property after drilling 40 holes for a total of 3,808 m. The holes were drilled on seven sections spaced 1 km apart. Three to seven holes, approximately spaced 500 m apart, were drilled on each section line (Refer to Figure 1). The drill core samples, half cores in average 6 meters long, are being sent on a regular basis to Midland Research Center Laboratory at Nashwauk, Minnesota, USA (which laboratory is independent from NML) for analysis and testing. The core is assayed for Total Iron and the magnetite concentrate is produced using the Davis Tube and given as Davis Tube Weight Recovery percent (DTWR %). The magnetite concentrate is analyzed for iron and silica. Some selected samples will be assayed for other elements. Attached Table 1 provides the test analysis and assay results for each of the stratigraphic layers for the available drill core assays. One section line (13) with four drill holes showing the stratigraphic layers with average test and assay values is given in Figure 2. Test and assay results received to date indicate that the top stratigraphic layer (LC) is the minable unit. Thickness varies between 0 to 87 m, and averages 50 m. This unit shows an average assay results as follows, based on the analysis received to date with DTWR cutoff above 16%. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total DT Concentrate DT Concentrate samples/meters Total Fe% DTWR% Fe% SiO2% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 61/361 31.41 30.18 67.98 4.20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 2 provides the list of all drill holes with thicknesses of respective LC layers. Drilling in Perault Lake (Anomaly N4) and Anomaly N1 and N2 Areas The drilling has started in both these areas (Figure 3), using one drill in each location during the third week of October. Nine holes for a total of 900 m will be drilled at N1 and N2 area. At the Perault Lake area, 49 holes for a total of 3,500 m are proposed and the drilling will be carried out in two phases. The present program is expected to continue till the end of November, 2011, weather permitting. Drilling is expected to resume in March 2012 to complete the remaining holes. KeMag Bulk Sampling The collected bulk sample from KeMag Deposit has been crushed and blended to the specifications based on the pre-feasibility study mining plan. The total blended sample amounts to 51 tonnes representing seven minable stratigraphic units. Twenty tonnes of the sample were sent to Studien Gesellschaft fur Eisenerz-Aufbereitung (SGA), Germany, for conducting pilot scale tests. Pilot plant testing for the flowsheet validation is expected to start in November, 2011. About New Millennium The Corporation controls the emerging Millennium Iron Range, located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and in the Province of Quebec, which holds one of the world's largest undeveloped magnetic iron ore deposits. In the same area, the Corporation is also advancing its DSO Project to near term production. Tata Steel Limited, one of the largest steel producers in the world, owns approximately 27% of New Millennium and is the Corporation's largest shareholder and strategic partner. Tata Steel has exercised its exclusive option to participate in the DSO Project and has a commitment to take the resulting production (see news release 10-16 dated September 14, 2010). Tata Steel also has exercised its exclusive right to negotiate and settle a proposed transaction in respect of the LabMag Project and the KeMag Project (see news release 11-09 dated March 6, 2011). The Millennium Iron Range currently hosts two advanced projects: LabMag contains 3.5 billion tonnes of Proven and Probable reserves at a grade of 29.6% Fe plus 1.0 billion tonnes of Measured and Indicated resources at an average grade of 29.5% Fe and 1.2 billion tonnes of Inferred resources at an average grade of 29.3% Fe (see news release 06-13 dated July 5 2006 and news release 07-11 dated July 17, 2007); KeMag contains 2.1 billion tonnes of Proven and Probable reserves at an average grade of 31.3% Fe, 0.3 billion tonnes of Measured and Indicated resources at an average grade of 31.3 % Fe and 1.0 billion tonnes of Inferred resources at an average grade of 31.2% Fe (see news release 09-01 dated January 16, 2009). NML's DSO project contains 64.1 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at an average grade of 58.8% Fe, 8.1 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 58.8% Fe, 7.2 million tonnes of Inferred Resources at an average grade of 56.8% Fe and about 40.0 - 45.0 million tonnes of historical resources that are not currently in compliance with NI 43-101 (see news release 09-03 dated February 11, 2009, news release 09-05 dated March 4, 2009, news release 09-16 dated December 9, 2009 and news release 10-12 dated July 8, 2010). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, the Corporation is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. The Corporation's mission is to add shareholder value through the responsible and expeditious development of the Millennium Iron Range and other mineral projects to create a new large source of raw materials for the world's iron and steel industries.

Geo., are the Qualified Persons as defined in National Instrument 43-101 who have reviewed and verified the scientific and technical mining disclosure contained in this news release.
