Afferro Mining Inc. - Clarification of Technical Disclosure

LONDON, June 12, 2012 - Afferro Mining Inc. ("Afferro" or "the Company") announces that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, it is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure.

The review centres on certain technical disclosure issues which have now been addressed:


On disclosure of mineral resources

- The Company's disclosure of the mineral resource estimate for its Nkout project in Cameroon ("Nkout") combined the Indicated and Inferred components of the resource, which is contrary to section 2.2 (c) of NI 43-101, due to the uncertainty of inferred resources;

- The current Indicated mineral resource estimate at Nkout is 0.9Bt at 32.7% iron and the current Inferred mineral resource estimate is 1.1Bt at 31.6% iron. These resource estimates were produced by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. ("SRK") and are effective as at 15 November 2011.


On restricted disclosure

- In a certain instance, the estimate of the exploration potential did not contain the required cautionary language;

- The statement that SRK estimates up to an additional 0.75Bt to 1.5Bt of resource lies below the optimised pit shell at Nkout should have been accompanied by the following cautionary statement: "the estimates are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration would result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource."

Howard Baker, who acted as Qualified Person for this information, is a full time employee of SRK, an independent consultancy, as disclosed in the Qualified Person section below.
