Oceanic Iron Ore Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FEO)(OTCQX:FEOVF) is pleased
to announce that it has received support from Makivik Corporation in its
submission to the Quebec government relating to its infrastructure requirements
for the Company's Ungava Bay project under the government's Plan Nord. Oceanic
and Makivik are in agreement that a hydro power transmission line servicing the
Ungava Bay region and a year round deep sea port near Aupaluk will benefit both
parties and is a key priority.


In its submission to the government, Mr. Pita Aatami, President of Makivik
Corporation said that, "Our relationship with Oceanic has been very successful
so far and I would like, on behalf of Makivik and on behalf of the Inuit of
Nunavik to entirely support the Oceanic initiative. Makivik would greatly
appreciate if these projects could be included in the Plan North first phase of
implementation."


The Makivik Corporation was formed in 1975 to administer Inuit rights, interests
and the financial compensation received from the James Bay and Northern Quebec
Agreement (JBNQA). Makivik's objectives include advancing the welfare,
education, prosperity and way of life of the Inuit people and to protect,
promote and preserve Inuit values and traditions.


Mr. Steven Dean, Chairman and CEO of Oceanic said, "Electrification of the north
with low cost clean hydro power is critical to the responsible sustainable
development of the North. A power line to service the Inuit communities in this
part of the Nunavik region and to supply the necessary power to support the
development of Oceanic's Ungava Bay project as well as other private sector
projects on a timely basis should be given the highest priority."


Mr. Dean also said that, "Oceanic's Ungava Bay project has a clear advantage and
less barriers to production as it will not need rail and associated
infrastructure to get its product to market. Our objective is to build in
cooperation with the provincial, federal and local government a year round deep
sea port near Aupaluk. Projects in other parts of the world are racing to fill
the supply need and with the support of government, northern Quebec and the
Ungava Bay project will be well placed to benefit through participating in this
new supply window by securing long term contracts for its iron ore product. Our
project stands to bring significant potential economic well-being and prosperity
for the north, particularly through job creation."
