Cleveland-Cliffs Inc published a news release as follows:

Cleveland-Cliffs Announces Acquisition of PinnOak Resources,
Major Metallurgical Coal Producer

Cleveland, OH—June 14, 2007—Cleveland-Cliffs Inc ("Cliffs") (NYSE: CLF) today announced that it has agreed to acquire PinnOak Resources, LLC, and its subsidiary operating companies, for $450 million in cash plus approximately $150 million in debt. PinnOak is a privately owned domestic producer of high-quality, low-volatile metallurgical coal. Payment of 25 percent of the cash portion will be deferred until December 31, 2009. The transaction is expected to close within 60 days and is subject to regulatory clearances.

"This acquisition represents an attractive expansion opportunity for our Company. When combined with our Australian coking and thermal coal operation, the Sonoma Project, the Company will control a 10 million ton position, with the majority being for export," commented Joseph A. Carrabba, Cleveland-Cliffs chairman, president and chief executive officer. "It marks yet another step in the execution of our strategy to deepen Cliffs’ exposure to faster growing international markets and further diversify its mineral sales."

The transaction is expected to increase Cliffs’ 2008 revenues by approximately $400 million and add approximately $100 million in EBITDA. Due to customer transition issues, full-year 2007 revenues are expected to be approximately $300 million. The transaction will have minimal earnings impact to Cliffs in 2007 as it covers acquisition and integration costs.

PinnOak’s operations include two complexes comprising three underground mines—the Pinnacle and Green Ridge mines in southern West Virginia, and the Oak Grove mine near Birmingham, Alabama. Combined, the mines have the capacity to produce in excess of seven million tons of premium-quality metallurgical coal annually.

The Pinnacle complex, located in Pineville, West Virginia, comprises the Pinnacle and Green Ridge properties. In operation since 1969, Pinnacle produces a high-quality, low-volatile metallurgical coal and boasts the only longwall plow system in the United States. The Green Ridge mine, opened in 2004, also produces a premium-quality product. Coal from both mines is processed by the Pinnacle Preparation Plant and then shipped to the customer via the Norfolk Southern rail line and exports from the port of Norfolk, Virginia.

Located in Adger, Alabama, the Oak Grove mine has been in operation since 1975 producing high-quality, low-volatile, very low-sulfur product, which is in high demand due to its excellent coking characteristics. Processing from this mine is done at the Concord Preparation Plant and product is transported domestically by rail, barge or truck. International shipments initiate from the port of Mobile, Alabama.

Approximately 80 percent of PinnOak’s total 2007 production is slated for the international steel market, with the balance committed to integrated steelmakers in the United States. The company produced approximately 3.9 million tons of coal in 2006 and has current estimated reserves of 140 million tons.

"We are excited to welcome the PinnOak team to the Cliffs organization as they provide a depth of experience and an additional growth platform consistent with the Company’s strategic objectives," Carrabba added.
