Cleveland-Cliffs Maintains Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend Rate

Suspends Common Stock Repurchase Authorization

CLEVELAND, OH—January 11, 2005—Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE: CLF) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on March 1, 2005, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 18, 2005. This dividend rate is the same amount declared in the prior quarter, adjusted for the Company’s two-for-one stock split paid on December 31, 2004.
