BC Iron - Clarification of Media Comment



BC Iron Limited ASX Announcement 15 February 2011
Clarification of Media Comment On 13 February 2011, an "article" appeared on a foreign website that in recent days has been circulated to a number of websites and blogs.

We believe that this article is highly misleading and its credibility must be brought into question, given the large number of inaccuracies throughout the article, along with its highly speculative nature.

The BC Iron Board confirms that it has been in recent discussions with its major shareholder Consolidated Minerals Limited regarding the Regent Pacific offer (refer ASX announcement dated 21 January 2011).

However, while we can say that these discussions have been positive and constructive, we are unable to confirm the intention of Consolidated Minerals in relation to Regent Pacific Groups takeover offer for BC Iron.
