<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offer provides 100% cash consideration for Noront shares, providing Noront shareholders with certainty of value now while removing financing, market,
regulatory and execution risks to Noront shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP recognizes that delivering Noront&#146;s portfolio of projects in the Ring of Fire is expected
to take many years, require significant capital investment, development of remote infrastructure, and management of numerous stakeholders. There is no certainty that shareholders remaining invested in Noront will ever realize the value for their
shares offered by BHP in cash today. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Noront and BHP believe that the Offer provides Noront shareholders with the value inherent in Noront&#146;s
portfolio of projects without the long-term risks associated with the development and execution of those projects. Noront CEO, Alan Coutts, said: &#147;This transaction provides a premium to Wyloo&#146;s offer, and delivers certainty of value to
Noront shareholders via an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-cash</FONT> offer. Noront&#146;s Board of Directors, determined that BHP&#146;s improved offer is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders and recommends Noront

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Wyloo&#146;s support of the transaction is not required in order for the Offer to be successful. In order for Noront shareholders to receive the C$0.75 <FONT

Wyloo support the Offer and tender their shares, the Offer will succeed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Chief Development Officer, Johan van Jaarsveld, said: &#147;Now is the time

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain statements contained in this press release contain &#147;forward-looking information&#148; within the meaning of applicable securities laws and are
prospective in nature. Forward-looking information and statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding: the Offer, including the anticipated timing, mechanics, funding, completion, settlement, results and effects of the Offer; reasons to accept the Offer; and the value inherent in Noront&#146;s portfolio of
projects, including the Eagle&#146;s Nest project. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although BHP Western Mining Resources International Pty Ltd (the &#147;Offeror&#148;), BHP Lonsdale
and Noront believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information and statements are reasonable, such information and statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information and
statements. Material factors or assumptions that were applied in formulating the forward-looking information contained herein include, without limitation, the expectations and beliefs of the Offeror, BHP Lonsdale and Noront that the Offer will be
successful, that all required regulatory consents and approvals will be obtained and all other conditions to completion of the transaction will be satisfied or waived, and the ability to achieve goals. The Offeror, BHP Lonsdale and Noront caution
that the foregoing list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of the Offeror, BHP Lonsdale or Noront, and there is no assurance that they will
prove correct. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Offeror, BHP Lonsdale or Noront will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences for,
or effects on, Noront, the Offeror or BHP Lonsdale, or their respective future results and performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking information and statements in

supplemented as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, and the Offeror, BHP Lonsdale and Noront disavow and disclaim any obligation to do so except as required by applicable law. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of the Offeror or any of its affiliates or Noront. </P>
