POC Pacific Iron Ore Corporation

Pacific Iron Ore Corporation (TSX VENTURE:POC), announces that diamond drilling
has begun for this field season on the Port Renfrew iron ore project. This
project is located approximately 100 km north and west of Victoria, on Vancouver
Island. 


This phase of diamond drilling is estimated to cost $900,000 dollars and
includes approximately 10,000 metres of NQ size core. The program is planned to
include 20 holes, with the intent of outlining additional high-grade iron
resources to expand the previously reported results of our 2008 program. Full
Force Drilling of Peachland, B.C. has been contracted to complete this program
of drilling


Pacific Iron Ore Corporation completed 14 holes on the high grade iron skarn
deposits in 2009 and these results have not been publicly reported. The drilling
program was interrupted by inclement weather in October and November of 2009. At
the end of 2008, Pacific Iron Ore Corporation reported a 43-101 compliant
resource of 7.8 million tonnes containing 63 percent magnetite. This resource
calculation was prepared by Wardrop Engineering of Vancouver, B.C. Wardrop
Engineering continues to provide geological guidance to the project in terms of
on-going geological modelling during the drilling program. A revised 43-101
compliant resource will be prepared by Wardrop Engineering at the end of this
drilling program. 


This program is expected to be completed near the middle of July of this year. 

Corporate Direction and Strategy

Iron Ore Corporation is dedicated to the development of its strategic mineral
deposits, located in the Port Renfrew area(iron resources) of Vancouver Island,
British Columbia, as well as, in the Kenora area(gold resources) of Ontario.
With the success of the previous exploration and the existence of sufficient
capital resources to undertake additional exploration activities in 2010, the
Corporation is well-positioned. 


It is the objective of Pacific Iron Ore Corporation to delineate 20 million
tonnes of high-grade iron ore in the existing deposits and complete a
pre-feasibility study for the production of iron concentrates to be sold
directly to the Far East. It is believed that the high-grade nature of the
deposits, proximity to tide-water, and the existence of Port Facilities such as
the Port of Naniamo Duke Point facility, will significantly benefit the project
economics. Demand and pricing for iron concentrates remain high throughout the
world. The company is aiming to export 2 million tonnes per year of iron
concentrates from the site.


Quality Control of Reported Results

Mr. Garry Payie, P. Geo of Victoria, British Columbia, an independent geological
consultant, is the Qualified Person for the Port Renfrew Project under the
guidelines of NI 43-101. Mr. Payie oversees the exploration program and has
reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this press release
relating to that project. 


ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 accredited facility located in North
Vancouver, British Columbia, will be providing all sample preparation and
analysis for this project.
