#1Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation May 2019#2Notice to reader All dollar figures are stated in Canadian ("CDN") dollars unless noted otherwise. The information contained in this presentation is derived from publicly available sources, such as annual and quarterly financial reports and the annual information form filed by Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation ("LIORC") in accordance with applicable securities laws, Rio Tinto reports and releases, news reports and analysts' reports. Certain market and pricing data contained in this presentation has been obtained from S&P Global Platts. This presentation may contain "forward-looking" statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "plan", "intend", "should", "would", "anticipate" and other similar terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly, including iron ore price and volume volatility, exchange rates, the performance of Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC"), market conditions in the steel industry, mining risks and insurance, the renewal of mining leases, outcomes of existing or future legislation, relationships with aboriginal groups, changes affecting IOC's customers, competition from other iron ore producers, estimates of reserves and resources and government regulation and taxation. A discussion of these factors is contained in LIORC's annual information form dated March 7, 2019 under the heading, "Risk Factors". Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what management of LIORC believes are reasonable assumptions, LIORC cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and LIORC assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances. This presentation should be viewed in conjunction with LIORC's other publicly available filings, copies of which can be obtained electronically on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 2#3Notice to reader Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are quoted for the end of 2018. Details of these Reserve and Resource estimates are set out in the 2018 Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation Annual Information Form. IOC confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral Reserve or Mineral Resource information, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning those estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed, and that the form and context of the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources has not been materially modified. Mineral Reserves are quoted on an as-mined (ie net of dilution and mining losses) basis. Mineral Resources are quoted on an in-situ basis. Both Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are quoted on a dry basis. Most of the assays and density determinations used in the reserve and resource estimates have been carried out by the IOC laboratory. QA/QC protocols have been in place since 2004. Assay standards are inserted after each 12th sample and duplicate assays are carried out on every 50th sample. A limited number of twinned holes have been compared to validate the assays from holes drilled before the commencement of the QA/QC program. The sampling protocol has been reviewed and the chain of custody of samples has been reviewed on an ad-hoc basis, although this is not part of the routine QA/QC process. Reconciliations of modelled ore tonnes and qualities against measured tonnes and qualities are carried out monthly, to validate the reserve models. Mineral resources exclude Mineral Reserves Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources were prepared under the supervision of Mr Tim Leriche, who is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101 and who is a Member of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Newfoundland and Labrador. Mr. Leriche is a full-time employee of IOC and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Leriche consents to the inclusion in the presentation of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource in the form and context in which it appears. 3#4Corporate structure Shareholders Common Shares LIORC Equity 100% Royalty 7% Equity Hollinger-Hanna 9.56% Equity 5.54% Fee 10¢/tonne IOC 4#5IOC shareholders 15% Rio Tinto ■Mitsubishi Corporation 26% 59% World leader in mining, and processing of mineral resources & the Managing Shareholder Major global trader of iron ore and other minerals ■Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Company Holds land lease rights and licenses to mine ore 5#6Over 64 years of operation 2400 employees Over 60 years in operation Leading producer and exporter of quality pellets and concentrate to customers worldwide Four generations in the workplace Fully integrated Mine- to-Market operation Operating sites located in Labrador City & Sept-Îles 6#7IOC integrated mine to port production system 4222 • .
