THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS AGENCIES

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2012) - Century Iron Mines Corporation (TSX: FER) ("Century Iron" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new assay results which tested a Direct Shipping Ore ("DSO") target as part of the 2011 fall exploration program at the Sunny Lake Project - Lac Le Fer property (100% owned by Century Iron), located in north-eastern Quebec, near the town of Schefferville, QC.

Century Iron tested a DSO target, labeled Prospect 3, with one short hole at the end of the exploration program. The target was defined by recent magnetic and ground gravity data and compilation of previous mapping by IOC (Iron Ore Company of Canada). The hole tested a gravity anomaly 1,200 metres long and 400 metres wide. Drilling will resume in May 2012 with a more powerful reverse circulation drill rig to complete drill hole LLFP3-11-004 and drill additional holes to test the full extent of the gravity anomaly.

The drilling results are consistent with the findings of M. Tremblay's 1951 IOC exploration report. In the report filed with Ministère des Ressources naturelles et da la Faune (GM08230), M. Tremblay concluded:

"This area is of the utmost importance to the company as it is the extension of the enrichment zones of Trough and Bruin Lakes."


M Tremblay further commented:

"This is the glory of the summer's work. An ore band extending over 1000' in length and with a width of 128' in one cross-section was outlined by pitting."

The Qualified Persons on the project, as defined under National Instrument 43-101, are Wenlong Gan, P.Geo., and Étienne Forbes, P.Geo. They are responsible for the preparation of all technical information provided in this press release and has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
