      FERREXPO PLC ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF SUPPLY CONTRACT WITH VOESTALPINE

Ferrexpo plc, the London-listed resources group, today announces that the
European steel processing group Voestalpine AG has extended its contract for the
supply of iron ore pellets through to 2015.

Under the agreement, Ferrexpo will supply Voestalpine with more than two million
tonnes of pellets per annum. Through Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, its principal
operations in Ukraine, Ferrexpo has been a stable supplier to Voestalpine for
approximately 25 years.

Ferrexpo believes this contract cements the strategic nature of its relationship
with Voestalpine and represents a further milestone in its expanding product
distribution. Ferrexpo is committed to realising the potential of its unique
resource of approximately 18 billion tonnes of iron ore, and to becoming a
leading global supplier of iron ore pellets.

"We are pleased to extend our relationship with Voestalpine," said Simon Wandke,
Ferrexpo's Chief Marketing Officer. "Voestalpine is a core customer relationship
for Ferrexpo Poltava Mining in which our joint management of the rail and vessel
supply chain from Ukraine to Voestalpine's facilities allows for effective and
timely pellet supply, and our product flexibility meets the needs of
Voestalpine. This agreement underscores our significant competitive advantages
and ability to deliver value to our clients and shareholders."
