About Ferro Iron Ore Corp.:

As announced on November 6, 2012, Ferro Iron Ore Corp. (formally, Galena Capital
Corp.) recently secured the right to merge a highly prospective Mongolian Iron
ore exploration license (No. 14491X) (the "Exploration License"). The
Exploration License is located in North Central Mongolia in the heart of a
proven mineralization corridor contiguous to the largest operating iron mine
(Eruu Gol Mine) in the country with rail, road, power and water in very close
proximity. It is along strike with other significant exploration projects
including the Haranga Bayantsogt, Tumur Tolgoi and Tumurtei deposits. The
licensed area is roughly 1000km from steel mills in Northern China accessible by
the railway, with surplus capacity, running in front of the property. Although
the company awaits completion of a 43-101 technical report, two historical
diamond drill holes show significant iron intercepts including 59% Fe over 55.2
metres from 10.8 metres below surface. There is also surface exposure of banded
iron skarn in trenching. The company looks to supply inland steel mills in
northern China currently utilizing either very high cost domestic ores or
expensive imported ores railed hundreds of kilometers from port given the
significant grade and logistics cost advantages.


ON BEHALF OF FERRO IRON ORE CORP.
