('XXP') has completed its initial review and site visit of the Roche Bay project and based on their positive assessment have committed to finalizing negotiations to a formal agreement by October 15, 2010. Subsequent discussions with XXP's led to a number of changes to the original July 19th Memorandum of Understanding (the 'Agreement') in order to facilitate the implementation of a strategic investment and alignment with other potential complimentary investors. The key points to the supplemental agreement are:

1.  Initial review of the technical and economic parameters of AEI's Roche
    Bay project have been completed with XXP agreeing to move negotiations
    forward to complete a formal agreement.

2.  XXP has modified the Agreement to allow one of its affiliates to
    undertake an investment in AEI at $0.25 per share to acquire 19% of the
    Company's outstanding shares.

3.  The Agreement has also been modified to facilitate the inclusions of
    potential third parties interested in developing other sites/projects
    together with AEI in the Melville Area. XXP and AEI will jointly assess
    the possible synergies to their plans in respect to any proposed
    opportunity.

4.  With the satisfactory completion of the initial phase, the Parties have
    agreed to a target date of October 15, 2010 to complete the formal
    agreement in respect to a strategic investment and cooperation.

The basis of the Agreement is a process by which XXP can acquire a substantial direct or indirect interest in the project in exchange for technical and financial support to ensure AEI's development of the project. The contemplated agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange, and other regulatory approvals which may also include shareholder approval.

John Gingerich, President & CEO, commented:

'We are extremely pleased to have XXP involved in the project as we believe them to be a partner with the financial strength and technical expertise required to move the Roche Bay iron ore project towards production. With the changes to the Agreement we have introduced the possibility for more dynamic development scenarios allowing other interested companies to work with XXP and AEI on the region's development opportunities. There is now a mechanism that provides additional investment opportunities without affecting XXP's desires to be AEI's exclusive primary partner in the Roche Bay development and becoming its largest shareholder'.

The Roche Bay project represents a significant capital project, and XXP's positive assessment and the decision to move forward confirm the fundamental strengths of this project and the other opportunities in the Melville area. In addition, it is believed that working together with XXP will help AEI realize cost savings such as modular construction (off-site construction, on-site assembly) of the mine's operational facilities. XXP has requested AEI initiate the necessary permitting approvals and negotiations that would allow the project to fully leverage the modular design strategy.
