Jun. 14, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --

TORONTO, June 14, 2011 /CNW/ - Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation (TSX: LIF.UN) ("LIORC") announced today that it has filed articles of amendment and entered into an amendment to the note deposit agreement to subdivide its stapled units on a two-for-one basis with effect on July 1, 2011. The new certificates will be mailed to registered holders of stapled units on July 4, 2011.

The stapled units will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a subdivided basis at the opening of business on June 28, 2011 (and not on June 29, 2011 as previously announced on May 30, 2011) as the July 1, 2011 record date for the subdivision is a statutory holiday.

LIORC also confirmed that the cash distribution of $0.75 per stapled unit announced on May 30, 2011 payable to holders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2011 and to be paid to such holders on July 25, 2011 is payable on a pre-subdivision basis. As such, the $0.75 distribution will represent $0.375 per outstanding stapled unit on the date of payment.
