1MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY’S
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the financial results of New Millennium Iron Corp. (“NML”, the
“Company”, or the “Corporation”) for the interim three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements and related notes for the period ended June 30, 2013, and the audited consolidated financial
statements and MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared using
accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
All dollar figures are in Canadian dollars (“C$”), unless otherwise stated.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This MD&A contains certain forward looking statements and forward looking information (collectively
referred to herein as “forward looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
laws. All statements other than statements of present or historical fact are forward looking statements.
Forward looking information is often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “could”,
“should”, “can”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe”, “will”, “may”, “projected”, “sustain”, “continues”, “strategy”,
“potential”, “projects”, “grow”, “take advantage”, “estimate”, “well positioned” or similar words suggesting
future outcomes. In particular, this MD&A may contain forward looking statements relating to future
opportunities, business strategies, mineral exploration, development and production plans and
competitive advantages.
The forward looking statements regarding the Corporation are based on certain key expectations and
assumptions of the Corporation concerning anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
strategies, regulatory developments, exchange rates, tax laws, the sufficiency of budgeted capital
expenditures in carrying out planned activities, the availability and cost of labour and services and the
ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, the actual results of exploration and development projects
being equivalent to or better than estimated results in technical reports or prior activities, and future costs
and expenses being based on historical costs and expenses, adjusted for inflation, all of which are
subject to change based on market conditions and potential timing delays. Although management of the
Corporation consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to
them, they may prove to be incorrect.
By their very nature, forward looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties (both general
and specific) and risks that forward looking statements will not be achieved. Undue reliance should not
be placed on forward looking statements, as a number of important factors could cause the actual results
to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations and anticipations, estimates and
intentions expressed in the forward looking statements, including among other things: inability of the
Corporation to continue meet the listing requirements of stock exchanges and other regulatory
requirements, general economic and market factors, including business competition, changes in
government regulations or in tax laws; general political and social uncertainties; commodity prices; the
actual results of exploration, development or operational activities; changes in project parameters as
plans continue to be refined; accidents and other risks inherent in the mining industry; lack of insurance;
delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; changes in legislation, including environmental
legislation, affecting the Corporation; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms;
conclusions of, or estimates contained in, feasibility studies, pre-feasibility studies or other economic
evaluations; and lack of qualified, skilled labour or loss of key individuals. Readers are cautioned that the
foregoing list is not exhaustive.
2The forward looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary
statement. The forward looking statements included in this MD&A are made as of the date of this MD&A
and the Corporation does not undertake and is not obligated to publicly update such forward looking
statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise unless so required by applicable
securities laws.
With respect to the disclosure of historical resources in this MD&A that are not currently in compliance
with National Instrument 43-101, 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.
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Overview of Business
The Corporation controls the emerging Millennium Iron Range, located in the Province of Newfoundland
and Labrador and in the Province of Quebec, which holds among the world’s largest undeveloped
magnetic iron ore deposits. In the same area, the Corporation and Tata Steel Limited (“Tata Steel”), one
of the largest steel producers in the world, have advanced a direct shipping ore project (“DSO Project”) to
the production stage, from which commercial sales will soon begin. Tata Steel Limited owns
approximately 26.3% of New Millennium and is the Corporation’s largest shareholder and strategic
partner.
Tata Steel exercised its exclusive option to participate in the DSO Project and has a commitment to take
the resulting production. The DSO Project is owned and operated by Tata Steel Minerals Canada
(“TSMC”), which in turn is 80% owned by Tata Steel and 20% owned by NML. The DSO Project contains
64.1 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at an average grade of 58.8% Fe, 21.0
million tonnes of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 59.2% Fe, 10.3
million tonnes of Inferred Resources at an average grade of 58.3% Fe and about 25.0 - 30.0 million
tonnes of historical resources that are not currently in compliance with NI 43-101. A qualified person has
not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral
reserves, and as such 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 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; KéMag 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. Tata Steel also
exercised its exclusive right to negotiate and settle a proposed transaction in respect of the LabMag
Project and the KéMag Project.
The Millennium Iron Range also hosts other large taconite deposits.
The first is the Lac Ritchie property located at the north end of the Range. The initial 2011 drilling of 40
holes in this property revealed Indicated Resources of 3.330 billion tonnes at an average grade of 30.3%
Fe, and Inferred Resources of 1.437 billion tonnes at an average grade of 30.9% Fe.
Two other taconite deposits are located south of the LabMag deposit in the Millennium Iron Range. The
initial 2012 drilling of 23 holes in the Sheps Lake property and of 50 holes in the Perault Lake property
revealed Indicated Resources of 3.580 billion tonnes at an average grade of 31.22% Fe, and Inferred
Resources of 795 million tonnes at an average grade of 30.56% Fe.
The Howells Lake - Howells River North deposit is located between the LabMag and KéMag deposits,
and evidences mineral continuity in the Range. The 2011 and 2012 drilling of 11 holes in the Howells
River North property and of 45 holes in the Howells Lake property, revealed Indicated Resources of 7.631
billion tonnes at an average grade of 30.39% Fe, and Inferred Resources of 3.310 billion tonnes at an
average grade of 29.83% Fe.
3NML’s prominent iron ore resource holdings are summarized in the following table:

Total 5,686 15,892 7,708
Note: NML owns 100% of the properties mentioned above except for LabMag, Howells River North and Shep’s Lake,
which are 80% owned through the Corporation’s interest in LabMag Limited Partnership.
Also of significance is that the results for the Howells River North and Howells Lake properties confirm
that the taconite formation occurring in this area of the MIR is a stratigraphic continuation of the LabMag
deposit that connects to the KéMag deposit.
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.

National Instrument 43-101 who have reviewed and verified the scientific and technical mining disclosure
contained in this MD&A.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
TSMC’S DSO PROJECT
PROGRESS REPORT
The DSO Project, in which NML has a 20% interest through TSMC, has advanced to the production
stage. Upon completion, there will be two saleable product streams: 1) A crushed and screened,
approximately 62% Fe grade ore first mined and produced in 2012; and 2) higher Fe, low gangue fines in
two size ranges produced from an innovative, year round processing plant now in the advanced
construction stage.
Commercial sales of the crushed and screened ore are expected to begin in the current quarter.
Meanwhile, construction of the process plant and ancillary facilities is moving well towards completion.
Commissioning of the sizing station and plant equipment start-up are scheduled for Q4 2013 and Q1
2014, respectively. Other activity to report includes:
? Advancement on the fabric covering of the dome that will house the plant itself.
? All pre-cast foundations in place.
? Casting of larger foundations and slabs as well as erection of internal structural steel all
essentially completed.
? Start of installation of mechanical equipment.
TSMC’s objective is to complete the installation of the outside ancillary facilities, such as the sizing
station, conveyors and train loading station, prior to the onset of winter. Work on the process plant will
then continue inside in a protected environment under the covered dome.
4So that TSMC can maintain sales and revenue through the 2013/14 winter season, the crushing and
screening plant operation will continue with the addition of product drying equipment.
TACONITE PROJECT
The Taconite Project involves large-scale development of the LabMag and KéMag deposits to produce
pellets and concentrate, and is in the final feasibility stage also with Tata Steel as a partner through a
Binding Heads-of-Agreement signed in March 2011. Tata Steel and NML are funding 64% and 36% of
the feasibility work, respectively.
Building on NML’s and Tata Steel’s technical expertise, the Project aims to be innovative and competitive,
targeting a favourable position on the global cost curve for pellet producers. Natural advantages include
a low stripping ratio and magnetite ore, which reduces energy costs in the pelletizing process. The
Project would use large-scale and technologically advanced equipment.
At the end of December 2012, NML announced that a preliminary feasibility study report had been
submitted by the Study Manager along with a request for a further period to complete its internal
corporate review process, including technical aspects and finalization of the capital cost estimates. In
light of the Taconite Project’s great scale, NML and TSMC agreed and continue to work with the Study
Manager and specialized consultants to finalize the report. This process is expected to be completed
before the end of the year, after which the results will be presented to the Tata Steel and NML boards of
directors.
EXPLORATION OF OTHER PROPERTIES
Beyond the DSO and Taconite projects, NML has the opportunity to further develop the potential of its
land holdings in the MIR. Announcements over the past eighteen months have confirmed NI 43-101
mineral resource estimates for the Lac Ritchie, Perault Lake and Sheps Lake taconite properties
controlled by NML. This already important resource base was added to in the second quarter.
On May 23, 2013, NML announced a resource estimate for its 80% owned Howells River North (Naskapi
LabMag Trust through LabMag Limited Partnership owns the other 20%) and 100% owned Howells Lake
properties. Data collected from the drilling programs on each resulted in total NI 43-101 compliant
mineral resource estimates, at a cut-off grade of 18% DTWR, of 7.63 billion tonnes of Indicated Mineral
Resources and an additional 3.31 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources. In accordance with NI
43-101 requirements, a Technical Report in respect of these mineral resource estimates was filed on
SEDAR on May 30, 2013.
GENERAL CORPORATE INFORMATION
OTCQX Listing
On April 10, 2013, NML announced that its common shares had begun trading in the United States on the
OTCQX International under the symbol “NWLNF”. The OTCQX is the premier marketplace on OTC
Markets Group’s highly visible electronic trading venue in the U.S. and the OTCQX International tier is
designed for non-U.S. companies listed on qualified international stock exchanges. NML expects to
benefit from its trading on the OTCQX International by gaining greater exposure, accessibility and liquidity
in the United States.
CEO Succession Planning
In July 2011, principal founder of NML Robert Martin stepped down as President and Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”) and was succeeded by Dean Journeaux, also a co-founder. As part of the Company’s
orderly succession plan, NML had previously searched privately for a Chief Operating Officer with the
capability to become CEO. NML is now currently working with a worldwide executive search agency in
connection with the search for a replacement CEO and the process is ongoing. Following the hiring of his
successor and retirement, Mr. Journeaux will continue contributing to NML in a senior capacity.
5SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Agreement with Iron Ore Company of Canada and Loading of First Train
Initially, the DSO Project’s commercial sales will be carried out under a confidential agreement between
TSMC and Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) announced on July 4, 2013 that calls for IOC to provide
material handling and marketing services for a fee. Haulage of DSO Project ore from Schefferville began
on July 10 and trains are being dispatched on a regular basis for unloading and stockpiling at IOC’s
shipping terminal at the Port of Sept-Iles. As mentioned above, the first ship is expected to be loaded
sometime in the current quarter.
Update on Construction of New Multi-User Dock at Sept-Îles
For the longer term, TSMC plans to ship over the Port of Sept-Iles’ new deep water dock, in which both
TSMC and NML are investors. In July 2013, the Company paid its second and last instalment for a total
buy-in of $38,372,000. It is also intended to have this multi-user facility service the Taconite Project.
Based on an announcement by the Port of Sept-Îles on July 9, 2013, construction is on schedule and the
new dock is expected to be operational in Q2 2014.
Board Resignation
On July 3, 2013, NML announced that Ms. Cathy Bennett had resigned from the Board of Directors,
effective July 2. Ms. Bennett’s decision to resign her position immediately followed her public
announcement that she would be seeking the Liberal Party Leadership in Newfoundland and Labrador.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion of the Corporation’s financial performance is based on the unaudited
Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2013 (“financial statements”) set
forth herein. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, they are prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2012
audited consolidated financial statements (“FYE 2012”).
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses for the period then ended.
The unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2013
indicates cash and cash equivalents of $47,255,194, short-term investments of $15,231,640, sales taxes,
other receivables and prepaid expenses of $1,534,445, and the current portion of tax credits and mining
duties receivable of $5,392,368 resulting in total current assets of $69,413,647, a decrease of $5,897,012
from FYE 2012. The non-current assets are comprised of the long-term portion of tax credits and mining
duties receivable of $2,310,700, mineral exploration and evaluation assets of $57,910,172, other assets
of $19,316,275, deposits on contracts of $1,241,881, property and equipment of $666,301 and long-term
investments of $31,542,605. The total assets of $182,401,581 are a decrease of $6,962,649 from FYE
2012.
The Company’s current liabilities at June 30, 2013 are its trade and other payables of $4,088,790, and
advances from Tata Steel of $2,457,402 for a total of $6,546,192, a decrease of $5,725,298 from FYE
2012. Non-current liabilities consist of an amount due to Naskapi/LabMag Trust of $285,324 for total
liabilities of $6,831,516 which is a decrease of $5,725,298 from FYE 2012. Equity attributable to
shareholders of the parent company is $175,331,714, a decrease of $1,237,351 from FYE 2012, and is
comprised of share capital of $177,153,492, contributed surplus of $18,450,135, less shares subject to
cancellation of $176,940 and the deficit of $20,094,973. The non-controlling interest of $238,351 remains
unchanged from FYE 2012, for total equity of $175,570,065.
6For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company realized a net loss of $2,244,249, or $0.01 per
share, compared to a net loss of $1,596,355 or $0.01 per share for the comparative period in 2012. This
loss represents operating expenses of $2,507,894, (2012 - $2,044,044), net of service fee revenue of
$35,739 (2012 – $147,458) and investment income of $227,906 (2012 - $300,231). The increase in this
period’s operating expenses is mainly due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense from
$951,106 in Q2 2012 to $1,168,601 in Q2 2013 and an increase in office and administrative expenses
from $537,619 in Q2 2012 to $806,582 in Q2 2013.
The Company expects to continue incurring losses until it begins receiving dividends from TSMC. These
losses are expected to be funded by the current cash, investments and then if necessary, through equity
and or debt financing or investments by strategic partners.
As at June 30, 2013, the deferred income tax assets, which arose as a result of applying the capital and
non-capital losses carried forward to taxable income, have not been recognized in the accounts due to
uncertainty regarding their utilization.
All costs associated with mineral properties, totalling $57,910,172 as outlined in Note 9 to the June 30,
2013 financial statements, have been classified as mineral exploration and evaluation assets. The
expenditures are divided between the properties as follows: LabMag Property $25,916,273, KéMag
Property $15,433,997, Lac Ritchie Property $2,420,554, Perault Lake Property $4,785,247, Sheps Lake
Property $1,149,339, Howell’s Lake-Howell’s River North Properties $4,947,107 and Other Properties
$3,257,655. The cost centers for these capitalized expenditures are: mineral licenses $2,965,501, drilling
$34,310,579, resource evaluation $33,935,685, environmental $17,135,888, and amortization of property
and equipment $106,541. These expenditures are partially offset by tax credits and mining duties of
$12,702,889 and the Tata Steel payments of $17,841,133. The non-controlling interest of $238,351
relates to LabMag Limited Partnership whose properties include the LabMag Property, Sheps Lake
Property and Howell’s River North Property. The carrying value of the mineral exploration and evaluation
assets are reviewed by the Company on a quarterly basis by reference to the project economics,
including the timing of the exploration and evaluation work, the work programs and exploration results
achieved by the Company. At June 30, 2013, the Company believes that the carrying values of the
properties are less than their net recoverable amounts and as such there has been no impairment of
value on any of these properties.
SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
The following table sets out selected unaudited quarterly financial information of the Company for the
eight quarters ended June 30, 2013. This information is derived from unaudited quarterly financial

the DSO Properties during the quarter in the amount of $31,162,000.
7SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
The most significant items comparing the results of operations in the second quarter of 2013 versus the
same period in 2012 is a increase in general and administrative expenses to $2,508,000 in Q2 2013 from
$2,044,000 in Q2 2012. Added to this increase in expenses is a decrease in service fee revenue to
$36,000 in Q2 2013 from $147,000 in Q2 2012 and a decrease in investment income to $228,000 in Q2
2013 from $300,000 in Q2 2012.
The most significant items affecting general and administrative expenses are an increase in stock-based
compensation to $1,169,000 compared with $951,000 in Q2 2012, a decrease in Q2 2013 of market
development expense to $185,000 for which the corresponding expense in Q2 2012 is $239,000, an
increase in professional fees in Q2 2013 to $278,000 compared with $234,000 in Q2 2012 and an
increase in office and administrative expenses to $807,000 compared with $538,000 in Q2 2012. The
decrease in investment income is due to lower levels of investments held during Q2 2013 versus Q2
2012. The service fee revenue decreased as TSMC is utilizing less of NML’s resources as they build up
their own team.
As a result, the Company’s net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 totalled approximately
$2,244,000 (loss of $0.01 per share) compared to a net loss of approximately $1,596,000 (loss of $0.01
per share) for the comparative period in 2012.

8CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The information is provided in Note 16 of the financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital
Working capital at June 30, 2013 of $62,867,455 represents a decrease of $171,714 from the FYE 2012
total of $63,039,169. This decrease in working capital is due to the usage of cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments for the Company’s investment in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral
assets as well as funding its operational loss for the period only partly being offset by the increase in the
current portion of tax credits and mining duties receivable, decrease in trade and other payables and
decrease in the advances from Tata Steel.
The Company’s working capital has been mainly invested in cash, guaranteed investment certificates, a
promissory note and commercial paper with relatively short maturities all either issued by or guaranteed
by Canadian Federal and Provincial governments or their crown corporations. These investments have
been classified as cash and cash equivalents and as short-term investments. NML used its cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments from December 31, 2012 to pay its trade and other
payables, fund its operations and the continuing exploration and evaluation of its mineral assets. The
Company intends to use a portion of its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments in order to
fund its portion of the Taconite Feasibility Study, perform new drilling projects in the taconite anomalies
located in the Millennium Iron Range in order to fulfill assessment work required to maintain claims, pay
for the second instalment of the Port agreement, and pay future corporate operating expenses.
Capital Expenditures
There was $335,993 of acquisitions of property and equipment during the first six months of 2013
compared to $239,306 in the corresponding period in 2012. This acquisition is for the purchase of land to
be used in operations in Schefferville, Quebec.
Capital Resources
At June 30, 2013, NML has paid up capital of $177,153,492 (December 31, 2012 - $175,877,147)
representing 180,219,146 (December 31, 2012 – 179,221,646) common shares and contributed surplus
of $18,450,135 (December 31, 2012 - $16,531,035) that is partially offset by shares subject to
cancellation of $176,940 (2012 – Nil) and a deficit of $20,094,973 (December 31, 2012 - $15,839,117)
resulting in total equity attributable to shareholders of the Company of $175,331,714 (December 31, 2012
- $176,569,065). In addition there is a non-controlling interest of $238,351 (December 31, 2012 –
$238,351) resulting in total equity of $175,570,065 (December 31, 2012 - $176,807,416).

commitments.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Please refer to Note 15 of the accompanying financial statements for a summary of the Company’s
transactions with related parties and the related period end balances.
9CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In compliance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-109, the Company has
filed certificates signed by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)
that, among other things, report on the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures,
and the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure Control and Procedures
The CEO and the CFO have designed disclosure controls and procedures, or have caused them to be
designed under their supervision, in order to provide reasonable assurance that:
? material information relating to the Company has been made known to them; and
? information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation.
An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of the CEO and the CFO, of the design and
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO
concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at June 30, 2013.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The CEO and the CFO have also designed internal control over financial reporting, or have caused them
to be designed under their supervision, in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for financial reporting purposes in
accordance with IFRS.
An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of the CEO and the CFO, of the design and
operating effectiveness of most critical aspects of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on
this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the internal controls over financial reporting are
effective at June 30, 2013, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
(COSO) of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control – Integrated Framework. The remaining
aspects of our internal control over financial reporting will be evaluated during the coming quarters.
Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,
2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
According to the World Steel Association’s (WSA) statistics, world crude steel production in its 64
reporting countries was 790 million metric tons (Mt) for the first six months of 2013, which represented an
increase of 2.0% over the same period in 2012.
The growth came mainly from Asia with a rate of 5.5%, of which China was a strong 7.4%. Meanwhile,
the EU-27, other Europe, North America and South America were all down from comparable 2012 levels.
The overall reporting countries’ crude steel capacity utilization rate was 79.2% in June, down by 1.5%
from the year-earlier rate. Overcapacity continues to be a drag on the steel market.
Looking ahead, however, there is more optimism in the World Steel Association’s latest, semi-annual
Short Range Outlook released on April 11th, with world Apparent Steel Use (ASU) of finished steel
10products expected to grow by 2.9% from 2012 to 2013, and by a further 3.2% in 2014 as a broadly based
recovery extends to Europe. Even if the rate of growth in China is moderating, the steel industry’s scale
there now involves significant volumes in absolute terms as illustrated by the WSA’s forecasted jump in
ASU of 40 million tonnes between 2012 and 2014.
The iron ore market remained volatile in the second quarter as Chinese steel makers continued to
purchase iron ore cautiously. Pricing as measured by the 62% Fe Fines CFR China reference started
April at approximately US$137 per tonne and ended June at just over US$116 per tonne, with
movements above and below this range over the period.
Forward curve pricing continued to anticipate more supply coming onto the market in the near-to-medium
term, a sentiment fuelled by the ramping up of production by Australia’s major producers in particular. At
the same time, the presently very difficult environment for new entry iron ore projects, coupled with
questions over Chinese domestic production and the future role of exports from India, makes the overall
supply development timeframe unclear.

The current principal activities of New Millennium Iron Corp. (“the Parent Company”) and its
subsidiaries (“the Company” or “NML”) are the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties.
The Parent Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Business
Corporations Act on August 8, 2003.
The address of the Company’s executive office is 2nd floor, 1303 Greene Avenue, Westmount,
Quebec, H3Z 2A7 and its head office is 800, 734 – 7 Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3P8 and
its registered and records office is 1000, 250-2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P OC1.
2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using
accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in
accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with
the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, as they
follow the same accounting policies and methods of application, except for the following new
accounting pronouncements which have been adopted on January 1, 2013:
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosures
The amendment contains new disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities
that are offset in the statement of financial position or subject to master netting arrangements or
familiar agreements. The adoption of this amendment did not result in any changes to the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and
requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when other IFRSs require
or permit fair value measurements. It does not introduce any new requirements to measure an
asset or a liability at fair value, change what is measured at fair value in IFRS or address how to
present changes in fair value. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be
received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants, at the measurement date. Under existing IFRS, guidance on measuring and
disclosing fair value is dispersed among the specific standards requiring fair value measurements
and in many cases does not reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent disclosures. The
adoption of this new standard did not result in any changes of the condensed interim consolidated
financial statements.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
These amendments included a requirement for entities to group items presented in Other
Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit
or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustment), and emphasize the importance of presenting
profit or loss and OCI together and with equal prominence. The adoption of this amendment did
not result in any changes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Consolidation standards
In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board published four new and amended
standards addressing the accounting for consolidation, involvements in joint arrangements and
disclosure of involvements with other entities as listed below:
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements, and Standing Interpretations Committee Interpretation 12, – Consolidation - Special
Purpose Entities, by introducing a single consolidation model for all entities based on control,
irrespective of the nature of the investee. Under IFRS 10, control is based on whether an
investor has: 1) power over the investee; 2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and 3) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the
amount of the returns. The adoption of this new standard did not result in any changes to the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
IFRS 11 replaces the guidance on “Joint ventures” in IAS 31. The new standard introduces a
principles-based approach to accounting for joint arrangements that requires a party to a joint
arrangement to recognize its rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. The new
standard requires that joint ventures be accounted for under the equity method thus eliminating
the option to proportionally consolidate such ventures. The Company does not currently have
any joint arrangements and as such, the adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to
the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 12 Disclosures of Involvement with Other Entities
IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of
interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and
other off balance sheet vehicles. The adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to
the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that
the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to
realize its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Basis of measurement
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared using the historical cost
basis, except for certain financial instruments that are recognized at fair value. These condensed
interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ($), which is also the
Company’s functional currency and the functional currency of each of its subsidiaries.

3 - USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires
management to undertake a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition
and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from
these judgments and estimates. These estimates and judgments are based on management’s
best knowledge of the events or circumstances and actions the Company may take in the future.
The estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Information about the significant judgments,
estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and
measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed in Note 3 of the
Company’s 2012 annual financial statements and are still applicable for the period ending June
30, 2013.
4 - STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but
are not yet effective for the period ended June 30, 2013. Accordingly, they have not been applied
in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that these standards will have on the consolidated financial
statements.
The standards issued but not yet effective that are expected to be relevant to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements are provided below. Certain other new standards and
interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation
IAS 32 was amended by the IASB in December 2011. The amendment clarifies that an entity
that has a legally enforceable right to offset financial assets and financial liabilities if that right is
not contingent on a future event and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in
the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The
amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014,
with earlier adoption permitted.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments classification and measurement
This is the first part of a new standard on classification and measurement of financial assets that
will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 has two
measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at
fair value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect
contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair
value through profit and loss. Guidance is also provided on financial liabilities and de-recognition
of financial instruments. This new standard is effective for years beginning on or after January 1,
2015.
