FEO Oceanic Iron Ore Corp

Oceanic Iron Ore Corp. ("Oceanic", or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:FEO)(OTCQX:FEOVF) announces that it has received the results of its
previously announced pot grate test work program (the "Study") performed by
Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory on iron concentrates produced from the
Company's Hopes Advance project. 


The Study concludes that, with the addition of limestone and dolomite,
concentrates from the Company's Hopes Advance project are capable of being
transformed into high quality pellets, with very low deleterious elements and
compressive strengths of up to 638 lbs and swelling of 10.6%.


This concentrate is expected to be in demand from steelmakers globally who are
seeking high quality pellet feed concentrate to enhance production processes. 


The Study supplements conclusions reached in the Company's pre-feasibility study
(November 2012) which highlighted that the Hopes Advance project could produce
high quality 66.5% Fe grade concentrate with low deleterious elements, suitable
for the production of pellet or sinter feed.


Alan Gorman, President/ COO indicated: "We are pleased with the results of this
independent study which was overseen by Rod Johnson PhD, VP Geometallurgy for
the Company, and performed by Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratories.


The conclusions derived in the Study are relevant to our current discussions
with potential strategic partners seeking high quality pellet feed supply,
providing supporting data and conclusions to aid in their due diligence
processes. The results of this Study are consistent with the results of the
extensive metallurgical and product testing that the Company has already
undertaken and will be incorporated into the Company's Feasibility Study in due
course."


About Oceanic: 

Oceanic is a feasibility stage company focused on the development of its 100%
owned Hopes Advance, Morgan Lake and Roberts Lake iron ore development projects
located on the coast in the Labrador Trough in Quebec, Canada. The Company is
led by a highly experienced management team that has managed, operated developed
and/or sold over $20 bn in assets. In November 2012, the Company published the
results of the pre-feasibility study completed in respect of the flagship Hopes
Advance project outlining a base case pre-tax NPV of $5.6 bn over a 30 year mine
life, supported by a NI 43-101 proven and probable reserve of approximately 1.36
bn tonnes and a life of mine operating cost of approximately $30/tonne, making
it one of the lowest cost development projects globally. The pre-feasibility
study is available for review on the Company's website (www.oceanicironore.com)
and SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Further information in respect of the Morgan Lake and
Roberts Lake projects, both of which have been explored historically and which
have defined historical resources, is also available on the Company's website.
