Cleveland-Cliffs Announces Convertibility of Preferred Stock

Cleveland, OH—March 31, 2006—Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE: CLF) today announced that, due to the satisfaction of a condition to the conversion right of the holders of its 3.25% redeemable cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock, the preferred stock may be surrendered for conversion at any time during the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2006.

The condition was satisfied because the closing share price of Cleveland-Cliffs' common shares for at least 20 trading days of the last 30 trading days of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 exceeded 110% of the then applicable conversion price of the preferred stock. The satisfaction of this condition allows conversion of the preferred stock during the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2006 only. Conversion may continue after such quarter if certain conditions set forth in Cleveland-Cliffs' amended articles of incorporation are satisfied.

The preferred stock was also convertible during each of the past five fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2006, due to the satisfaction of this condition during the applicable periods of the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2004, March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The conversion rate is currently 32.6652 common shares per share of preferred stock. This equates to a conversion price of approximately $30.61 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances including payment of dividends on the common shares.
