Exhibit 99.3

CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On April 6, 2005, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (“Cliffs” or the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report that on March 31, 2005 Cleveland-Cliffs Australia Pty Limited (“Cliffs Australia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired approximately 68 percent of the outstanding shares of Portman Limited (“Portman”), a Western Australia-based iron ore mining and exploration company for $371.7 million. Through the close of the offer on April 19, 2005, Cliffs-Australia acquired an additional 12 percent for $62.1 million, increasing its ownership to approximately 80 percent of the outstanding shares of Portman. The consideration for each Portman Share was A$3.85 in cash. The assets consist primarily of land, mineral rights and iron ore reserves. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the Company’s acquisition of Portman using the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2004 with respect to the statements of operations, and as of March 31, 2005 with respect to the balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the respective historical financial statements of Cliffs and Portman. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with: (i) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 filed on April 29, 2005; (ii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed on February 22, 2005; (iii) Portman’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.2; and (iv) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Portman.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On April 19, 2005, Cliffs Australia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cliffs completed the purchase of 80.4 percent of the outstanding shares of Portman, a Western Australia-based independent iron ore mining and exploration company. The purchase price was $433.8 million. We funded the acquisition with existing cash and marketable securities and $175.0 million of interim borrowings under a new three-year $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The purchase price included $13.3 million of acquisition costs. Additionally, we incurred $9.8 million of foreign currency hedging costs related to this transaction which were charged to first quarter 2005 operations.

The acquisition was accounted for in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”), whereby the total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the effective date of the acquisition. The estimated purchase allocation is preliminary and is subject to revision. A third party valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is being conducted, and the final allocation will be made when completed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations were prepared as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2004 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position was prepared as if the acquisition was completed on March 31, 2005. These statements do not purport to represent what our financial position and results of operations would actually have been had the acquisition in fact occurred on such dates or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future period. Furthermore, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to further revision.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and Portman for their respective years ended December 31, 2004 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and Portman for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Included in Portman’s pro forma results are mark-to-market before-tax losses of $5.1 million ($3.5 million after-tax) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $3.0

million ($2.1 million after-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2004 relating to foreign currency hedges.

Note 2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated total purchase price of $433.8 million. The purchase price is summarized as follows:


	In
	Millions
Cash	$	420.5
Acquisition Costs		13.3

Purchase Price	$	433.8

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Portman based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The following represents the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price as of March 31, 2005:


	In
	Millions
Assets
Current Assets	$	88.4
Property, Plant and Equipment		539.0
Other Assets		26.7

Total Assets		654.1

Liabilities
Current Liabilities		34.7
Long-Term Liabilities		158.1

Total Liabilities		192.8

Net Assets		461.3
Minority Interest		27.5

Purchase Price	$	433.8

It is currently estimated that a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to iron ore reserves, which will be depleted on a units of production basis over the estimated reserve life. A final determination of the fair values may differ materially from preliminary estimates and will include management’s consideration of a final valuation prepared by independent valuation specialists. Any final adjustments may change the allocations of purchase price, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

(a) Reflects the adjustments related to the purchase of the approximate 12 percent incremental outstanding shares of Portman for $62.1 million.

(b) To reflect the net of cash borrowings under the three-year credit facility and the cash used to purchase incremental outstanding shares of Portman.

(c) To reflect the incremental allocation of purchase price to iron ore reserves created as a result of the acquisition of incremental shares of Portman.
