Non-IFRS Measures 

References in this press release to Adjusted EBITDA are to earnings before
interest expense, deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based
compensation, gain on fair value increment on acquisition (net of deferred
income taxes), acquisition expenses, accretion on convertible debt, interest on
convertible debentures and foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used
by investors to compare issuers on the basis of ability to generate cash flow
from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not an earnings measure recognized by
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), does not have standardized
meanings prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers. Noble Iron's management believes
that Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure in evaluating Noble
Iron's performance and in determining whether to invest in its common shares.
Readers of this information are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with
IFRS as an indicator of Noble Iron's performance, or cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities as measures of Noble Iron's liquidity and
cash flows. Noble Iron's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from
the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, Noble Iron's Adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. 


This news release may contain forward-looking statements which reflect the
Company's current expectations regarding future events. The forward-looking
statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as
"seek", "anticipate", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and statements that
an event or result "may", "will", "should", "could" or "might" occur or be
achieved and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve
risk and uncertainties, including the difficulty in predicting acceptance of and
demands for new products, the impact of the products and pricing strategies of
competitors, delays in developing and launching new products, fluctuations in
operating results and other risks, any of which could cause results,
performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or
implied in the forward-looking statements. Many risks are inherent in the
industries in which the Company participates; others are more specific to the
Company. The Company's ongoing quarterly filings should be consulted for
additional information on risks and uncertainties relating to these
forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements. Management assumes no obligation to update or alter
any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, further
