ALL NORANDA RECYCLING
FACILITIES IN NORTH AMERICA NOW REGISTERED TO
INTERNATIONAL ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARD

Brampton, Ontario, May 5, 2006 — Noranda Recycling Inc. is pleased to announce that the environmental management system at its end-of-life-electronics recycling facility in Brampton, Ontario has been registered as compliant with the International Standard ISO 14001(2004). All five of the company's North American facilities are now registered to this demanding environmental standard.

"We are extremely pleased to have achieved compliance with ISO 14001(2004) in Brampton," said Steve Skurnac, President, Noranda Recycling Inc. "This is truly a testament to the hard work of all employees to ensure that we have the right environmental policies and procedures in place and that we are able to meet the ever-growing demand for the highest level of environmental performance."

"More information about our environmental performance and end-of-life electronics recycling services can be found on our newly-launched website at www.norandarecycling.com," said Cindy Thomas Coutts, Director of End of Life Electronics for Noranda Recycling.

Certification of ISO environmental standards requires independent third-party verification that a company has met the six key elements of an internationally accepted environmental management system (EMS). Those elements are:

•: An environmental policy, in which the organization states its intentions and commitment to environmental performance;
•: Planning, in which the organization analyses the environmental impact of its operations;
•: The development and putting into practice of processes that will bring about environmental goals and objectives;
•: Monitoring and measurement to ensure environmental indicators are being met;
•: Review of the EMS by the organization's top management to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness; and
•: Continual improvement.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from more than 140 countries. The ISO 14001 standard is a management tool that enables an organization of any size or type to control the impact of its activities, products or services on the environment. Compliance with ISO standards is certified by independent third-party auditors around the world. Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI) is the independent accreditation body that certified Noranda Recycling's compliance with the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management.

Noranda Recycling's Brampton facility, located in Brampton, Ontario, provides environmentally sound 100% end-of-life-electronics hardware recycling. It is the only fully-integrated operation of its kind in Canada, providing electronics recycling services to electronics manufacturers, Fortune 1000 companies, governments and municipalities.

It also operates two precious metals sampling facilities located in San Jose, California and in East Providence, Rhode Island, as well as an office in Penang, Malyasia. Approximately 15% (100,000 tonnes) of the raw material feed for Falconbridge Limited's primary Canadian copper and recycling operations is from recyclable materials. Gross value of recyclable raw materials is more than $300 million annually. Noranda Recycling is 100%-owned by Falconbridge Limited.

News Release

FALCONBRIDGE COMMENTS ON INCO-FALCONBRIDGE COMBINATION

Toronto, Ontario, May 8, 2006 — Falconbridge Limited (TSX: FAL.LV; NYSE: FAL) today said that Inco and Falconbridge continue to believe there is a strong value proposition in the Inco and Falconbridge transaction and the companies are determined to complete it in accordance with the existing agreement.

"Our agreement with Inco is an excellent transaction and offers compelling value to shareholders of both our companies, with the potential for a re-rating in the capital markets," said Derek Pannell, Falconbridge's Chief Executive Officer. "The transaction would result in the creation of the world's number one nickel producer and a leading copper producer. Furthermore, it would have a portfolio of world-class growth projects."

"We are surprised that Teck Cominco has taken this step to interfere in our transaction and will review the implications of what they have done," added Pannell.

Synergies of Inco-Falconbridge Transaction Are Real and Unique to These Two Companies

Inco and Falconbridge have conservatively estimated synergies stemming from their transaction of at least US$350 million per year, based on lower commodity prices prevailing in 2005. The estimated synergies were the result of a rigorous review by the companies' respective teams and derived from in-depth discussions and analysis. The companies believe they are better equipped than any other party to achieve significant operating and other synergies, especially given Falconbridge's recent experience at merging companies.

Update on Regulatory Approvals

The following is an update on the regulatory process by the European Commission ("EC") and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ").

Falconbridge and Inco understand that the EC will be issuing its Statement of Objections ("SO") shortly. This is part of their normal procedures in their second phase review of pending acquisitions like our transaction. The companies have been discussing with the EC the competitive concerns they have identified and which they expect will be in the SO. They will be submitting their responses to the SO in the time provided for in this process. Inco and Falconbridge also plan to submit a remedy intended to address the competitive concerns of the EC. They look forward to continuing to work with the EC as they move through their second phase process. This element of the process is one of the standard steps leading to a decision by July 12th, 2006.

The companies continue to have constructive discussions with the DOJ in anticipation of approval.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements contained in this News Release are forward-looking statements (as defined in applicable securities legislation). Examples of such statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning (i) our assessment of the outlook for metal markets in 2006, (ii) Inco's offer to acquire all of the common shares of Falconbridge Limited and the benefits of such combination, (iii) our future financial requirements and funding of those requirements, (iv) our expectations with respect to our development projects, (v) our production forecast for 2006 and (vi) our dividend schedule. Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties well beyond our ability to predict or control. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this News Release. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the timing, steps to be taken and completion of Inco's offer to acquire all of our common shares, the ability to successfully compete against global metals and mining and exploration companies by creating through such a combination an enterprise of increased scale; strong demand for nickel, copper and other metals in emerging markets such as China; approximately $350 million per annum in pre-tax operating and other synergies and cost savings, and other benefits being realized based on the achievement of operational efficiencies from restructuring, integration and other initiatives relating to the combination of Falconbridge and Inco; the approvals or clearances required to be obtained by Inco and Falconbridge from regulatory and other agencies and bodies being obtained in a timely manner; divestitures required by regulatory agencies being acceptable and completed in a timely manner; there being limited costs, difficulties or delays related to the integration of the Falconbridge's operations with those of Inco; the timely completion of the steps required to be taken for the eventual combination of the two companies; business and economic conditions generally; exchange rates, energy and other anticipated and unanticipated costs and pension contributions and expenses; the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of, nickel, copper, aluminum, zinc and other primary metals products and other metal products Inco and Falconbridge produce; the timing of the receipt of remaining regulatory and governmental approvals for the development projects and other operations; the continued availability of financing on appropriate terms for development projects; Falconbridge's costs of production and production and productivity levels, as well as those of its competitors; market competition; mining, processing, exploration and research and development activities; the accuracy of ore/mineral reserve estimates; premiums realized over LME cash and other benchmark prices; tax benefits/charges; the resolution of environmental and other proceedings and the impact on the combined company of various environmental regulations and initiatives; assumptions concerning political and economic stability in countries or locations in which Falconbridge operates or otherwise and the ability to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in such amounts as Falconbridge's Board of Directors may determine in light of other uses for such funds and other factors.

Inherent in those statements are known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors well beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Some of these known risks and uncertainties are outlined in filings by Falconbridge with applicable securities regulatory authorities, including in Falconbridge's annual information form. Readers are encouraged to consult such filings. While Falconbridge anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause Falconbridge's views to change, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this news release. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Falconbridge and the combination of Inco and Falconbridge.

For Immediate Release

FALCONBRIDGE RECEIVES IMPROVED INCO OFFER

Toronto, Ontario, May 13, 2006 — Falconbridge Limited ("Falconbridge") announced today that it has amended the terms of its Support Agreement with Inco Limited ("Inco") whereby it has agreed to recommend an increased offer from Inco to acquire all outstanding common shares of Falconbridge. Under the revised terms, Inco's take-over offer will be amended to increase the amount of cash to be received by Falconbridge shareholders by Cdn$5.00 per share, assuming full pro-ration.

"We continue to believe in the compelling strategic and economic rationale of combining Falconbridge with Inco and the revised offer terms reflect Falconbridge's excellent financial results and tremendous prospects given the increases in metal prices and very strong market fundamentals," said Derek Pannell, Chief Executive Officer of Falconbridge.

"The added cash will provide our shareholders with about Cdn$1.9 billion more in value compared with the original deal negotiated with Inco. In addition, the tangible synergies available to the combined company are much greater under current metals prices than previously estimated and are focused directly on enhancing our operating platform, rather than simply eliminating corporate overlap and jobs. Assuming completion of this deal, Falconbridge shareholders will own approximately 47% of the combined company and will continue to benefit from increased earnings due both to higher metals prices and to the very significant operating synergies that will result from combining our two great companies."

Inco and Falconbridge have amended the Support Agreement to revise the terms of Inco's offer such that each Falconbridge common shareholder may elect to receive either 0.6927 Inco common shares plus Cdn$0.05 or Cdn$51.17 per share, subject to a maximum number of shares and cash, and subject to pro-ration. The maximum amount of cash available is approximately Cdn$4.8 billion and the maximum amount of Inco common shares available is unchanged at approximately 201 million. Assuming all shareholders tender for the cash option or all shareholders tender for the share option, each shareholder would be entitled to receive 0.524 Inco shares plus Cdn$12.50. Among other amendments to the Support Agreement, Falconbridge has agreed to a "break fee" in the amount of US$450 million, payable to Inco if a competing offer is recommended by Falconbridge and in certain other events.

"We have always believed that combining Falconbridge with Inco makes the best strategic and economic sense for Falconbridge and its shareholders. The pro forma balance sheet of the combined company will not be stressed by the increased cash payment to our shareholders given the continued improvements in metal prices. We remain confident that regulatory approval will be received soon and look forward completing this outstanding transaction," said Pannell. "The Falconbridge management team is committed to this deal and to ensuring that the synergies identified can be delivered by the new Inco."

Inco and Falconbridge continue to work with the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission in connection with their respective reviews of our pending transaction.

Assuming the full pro-ration, the amended Inco offer provides Falconbridge shareholders with an additional Cdn$5.00 per common share or a total of Cdn$1.9 billion more in value compared to the original offer. Both Boards of Directors unanimously endorsed the Inco offer and the Falconbridge Board has recommended that the Company's shareholders tender their shares to the offer, which remains open for acceptance to June 30, 2006.

The combined organization, which would be known as Inco Limited, would be one of the world's premier mining and metals companies. It would be the world's largest producer of nickel and eighth-largest producer of copper, and would also operate integrated zinc and aluminum businesses. The new company would have one of the mining industry's most attractive portfolios of low-cost, profitable growth projects and would benefit from estimated annual synergies of approximately $390 million — a revised higher estimate than the original $350 million synergies estimate due to the impact of higher metals prices.

Inco and Falconbridge continue to work with the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission in connection with their respective reviews of the pending transaction.

Statements regarding the combination of Falconbridge and Inco are subject to various risks and assumptions. See "Forward-looking Information" on page 7.

Redemption of Junior Preference Shares

Today, Falconbridge announced its intention to redeem the remaining balance of its 9,999,701 outstanding Junior Preference Shares for a total of approximately $253 million. The Junior Preference Shares will be redeemed on June 28, 2006 under a notice of redemption to be sent to shareholders of record on May 25, 2006. Falconbridge intends to utilize its internal cash resources to fund the redemption and will have no Junior Preference Shares outstanding upon redemption.

In accordance with the terms of the Junior Preference Shares, Falconbridge will redeem the remaining balance of shares of each series of the Junior Preference Shares as follows: 3,999,899 Junior Preference Shares, Series 1 (TSX: FAL.PR.X), 3,999,899 Junior Preference Shares, Series 2 (TSX: FAL.PR.Y), and 1,999,903 Junior Preference Shares, Series 3 (TSX: FAL.PR.Z). Each Junior Preference Share will be redeemed at a price of US$25.25 plus accrued and unpaid dividends for the period from and including March 31, 2006 to and including June 27, 2006.

Statements regarding the redemption of Junior Preference Shares of Falconbridge are subject to various risks and assumptions. See "Forward-looking Information".

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues for the month of April of 2006 were $1,288 million, 94% higher than revenues of $663 million in the same month of 2005. The increase was mainly due to higher realized metal prices and product premiums and higher copper sales volumes and increased revenue contribution from by-product credits. Business unit revenues were 147% higher for copper, 11% higher for nickel, 278% higher for zinc and 27% higher for aluminum.

Operating expenses were higher at $866 million in April 2006, compared to $498 million in the same month last year, primarily due to the higher value of raw material feeds and continual pressure on costs from energy and supply costs, as well as the effects of the weakening U.S. dollar. Mining, processing and refining costs increased to $275 million from $194 million in April of 2005 due to higher levels of mined and refined copper production, higher energy and supplies/consumables costs, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on operating costs at all Canadian and South American operations. The average value of the Canadian dollar increased 7% to US$0.87 from US$0.81 in April of 2005.

The value of raw material feed purchases was $537 million, compared to $260 million in April 2005, due to higher metal prices and increased custom feed processing at copper operations. Higher purchased raw materials values are recovered at the time of sale of the metals contained in the materials treated and are generally hedged at the time of purchase.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased to $54 million from $44 million in April 2005, with $10 million of the increase being attributable to the amortization of the fair value increment related to the purchase of the former Falconbridge minority shareholders' interest and the resulting increase in the book value of the assets acquired. Net interest expense increased to $15 million from $9 million in April of last year due mostly to the impact of the junior preferred share liabilities issued pursuant to the issuer bid completed in early May 2005. Interest expense included a one-time early redemption premium of $5 million paid to the holders at the time of the partial redemption of the junior preference shares in April 2006. Minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries decreased to $1 million from $35 million largely as a result of the elimination of the former Falconbridge minority share ownership. Tax expenses recorded increased to $155 million from $24 million in April of 2005, due to the overall increase in profitability.

Income generated by operating assets for April 2006 was $422 million, 156% higher than $165 million generated in April of 2005. Income generated by operating assets increased $242 million to $300 million in the copper business, decreased $17 million to $69 million in the nickel business, increased $47 million to $59 million in the zinc business and increased $7 million to $20 million in the aluminum business.

For April 2006, net income totaled $238 million, or $0.64 per basic common share and $0.63 per diluted common share, 194% higher than net income of $81 million or $0.27 per basic and $0.27 per diluted common share in April 2005. Higher net income reflects higher realized metal prices, higher treatment and refining charges received at copper smelters and refineries and the impact of increased by-product revenue credits.

Supplemental Performance Measures

The press release contains a number of measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The measures, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Income generated from operating assets is defined as follows: net income before interest expense, net; corporate and general administration; research, development and exploration; minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries; gain, net of restructuring costs and other; and tax expense. Since this measure captures the Company's key revenues and operating expenses of assets currently in operation, income generated from operating assets is a key performance measurement that management uses to evaluate the performance of both individual assets and business units.

Net-debt-to-capitalization ratio is calculated as follows:

(US$ millions)			April 30, 2006	Dec. 31, 2005
Long-term debt			2,545	2,598
Preferred share liabilities⁽¹⁾			381	876
Debt due within one year⁽²⁾			353	353
Cash and cash equivalents			(465)	(886	)

	Net debt	(1)	2,814	2,941

Interests of other shareholders			57	54
Shareholders' equity			5,715	5,031

	Stockholders' interests (equity)	(2)	5,772	5,085

Net debt plus capitalization		(3)=(1)+(2)	8,586	8,026

Net-debt-to-capitalization ratio		(1)/(3)	32.8%	36.7%

(1): April 30, 2006, includes the current portion of $250 million of preferred share liabilities which will be redeemed on June 28, 2006, as announced.
(2): April 30, 2006, excludes the current portion of $250 million of preferred share liabilities which will be redeemed on June 28, 2006, as announced.

Management believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors when assessing the Company's liquidity and its ability for growth and investment. This measure should not be considered an alternative to liquidity as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL INITIATIVES

Long-term debt was $2.5 billion at the end of April excluding preferred share liabilities. Falconbridge's net-debt-to-capitalization ratio stood at 32.8% at the end of April 2006, a reduction of almost 400 basis points since the end of 2005.

Today, Falconbridge announced its plan to redeem for cash of $253 million, its remaining outstanding Junior Preference Shares on June 28, 2006. Falconbridge has benefited from high earnings and cashflow generation and will utilize existing cash balances to fund the redemption.

For 2006, the Company's projected capital investments are approximately $315 million for sustaining capital expenditures and other smaller projects and approximately $435 million in new copper and nickel investments.

Falconbridge maintains long-term credit arrangements and relationships with a variety of financial institutions and investors in order to facilitate its ongoing access to domestic and international financial markets to meet its funding needs. Falconbridge's future financial requirements related to debt maturities, operating costs, the projects currently under development and other capital investments will be funded primarily from a combination of existing cash balances, committed bank lines, operating cash flows, project financing and new long — and short-term borrowings. The Company's committed bank facilities, which expire in 2010, total $780 million. At April 30, 2006, these lines were essentially undrawn.

Statements regarding future financial requirements and funding of those requirements are subject to various risks and assumptions. See "Forward-looking Information".

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Copper: Production of mined copper in concentrate for the month was 42,800 tonnes versus 35,000 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 22% due to increased output at Antamina, Collahuasi and Kidd Creek. Refined copper production for the month was 53,200 tonnes versus 41,400 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 29% from a year ago.

Sales of copper in concentrate to third parties in April was 16,100 tonnes versus 18,000 tonnes during April 2005, a decrease of 11% from a year ago. Sales of refined copper for the month was 50,400 tonnes versus 37,900 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 33% from a year ago. Realized copper premiums above LME prices were greater than $0.07/lb.

Nickel: Production of mined nickel in concentrate for the month was 4,100 tonnes versus 4,000 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 3% from a year ago. Refined nickel production for the month was 7,200 tonnes versus 7,100 tonnes during April 2005. Ferronickel production for the month was 2,500 tonnes versus 2,400 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 4% from a year ago.

Total nickel sales for the month were 2% higher at 10,000 tonnes. Sales of refined nickel for the month was 6,900 tonnes versus 7,600 tonnes during April 2005. Sales of ferronickel for the month was 3,100 tonnes versus 2,200 tonnes during April 2005. Stainless steel production has been particularly robust in the U.S. and China, resulting in nickel cathode and melting grade premiums having risen to $0.35/lb.

Zinc: Production of mined zinc in concentrate for the month was 33,200 tonnes versus 41,100 tonnes during April 2005, a decrease of 19% from a year ago. Mined zinc production and sales are lower year over year due to mostly to higher copper versus zinc grades at Antamina and the closure of the Louvicourt mine in the second half of 2005. Kidd Creek refined zinc production for the month was 12,400 tonnes versus 10,900 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 14% from a year ago. Refined lead production for the month was 7,500 tonnes versus 7,900 tonnes during April 2005.

Sales of zinc in concentrate for the month was 56,100 tonnes versus 31,600 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 78% from a year ago. Sales of zinc concentrate were higher during the month due to the timing of vessel shipments. Sales of refined zinc for the month was 12,300 tonnes versus 12,900 tonnes during April 2005, a decrease of 5% from a year ago. Zinc sales in North America are experiencing strong demand after the closure of a U.S. zinc smelter earlier this year and the rise in spot market premiums to US$0.08/lb. have reflected this tightness.

Aluminum: Primary aluminum production for the month was 20,800 tonnes versus 20,500 tonnes during April 2005, an increase of 1% from a year ago.

Sales of primary aluminum for the month was 16,700 tonnes versus 17,700 tonnes during April 2005, a decrease of 6% from a year ago. Fabricated aluminum shipments were 15,800 tonnes versus 14,300 tonnes during the month of April 2005, an increase of 10% from a year ago. Primary aluminum and fabricated aluminum sales continue to benefit from strong mid-West U.S. demand.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FALCONBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
REAFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR INCO OFFER

Toronto, Ontario, May 31, 2006 — Falconbridge Limited (TSX: FAL.LV; NYSE: FAL) today announced that its Board of Directors has conducted its assessment of the offer by Xstrata plc ("Xstrata") to acquire the outstanding common shares of Falconbridge.

The assessment was completed with the assistance of external legal and financial advisors and focused on both the financial and non-financial aspects of the offer from Xstrata. Falconbridge's Board has decided to continue to endorse the Inco offer and recommends that Falconbridge shareholders tender their shares to the Inco offer.

Given the conditional nature of Xstrata's offer, including both the requirement for Xstrata to receive the approval of its own shareholders, which will not be obtained until the end of June at the earliest, and Investment Canada approval, significant conditions have yet to be satisfied that would permit the offer to proceed.

In addition, though Xstrata's bid is expressed to be for all Falconbridge shares, Xstrata has reserved the right to take up any number of shares tendered to it. When combined with its current holding of 20% of Falconbridge, the acquisition of a further small number of shares may well result in Xstrata acquiring effective control of Falconbridge without acquiring all of the shares.

The Falconbridge Board of Directors determined that Xstrata's offer is not a "superior proposal" under the terms of the Support Agreement entered into with Inco and will reaffirm its recommendation of the Inco bid in a Directors Circular responding to the Xstrata offer. The Directors Circular will be sent to shareholders in the near future.

"Clearly, one of the strengths of the Inco offer is that it gives Falconbridge shareholders almost 50% participation in the growth of the New Inco, a company that would have one the best portfolios of development projects in the base metals industry at a time when the fundamental outlook is so positive," said Derek Pannell, Falconbridge's Chief Executive Officer.

The Board remains committed to pursue the combination proposed by Inco and will be seeking the outstanding regulatory approvals from the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the timing, steps to be taken and completion of Inco's offer to acquire all of our common shares, the ability to successfully compete against global metals and mining and exploration companies by creating through such a combination an enterprise of increased scale; strong demand for nickel, copper and other metals in emerging markets such as China; the estimated pre-tax operating and other synergies and cost savings, and other benefits being realized based on the achievement of operational efficiencies from restructuring, integration and other initiatives relating to the combination of Falconbridge and Inco; the approvals or clearances required to be obtained by Inco and Falconbridge from regulatory and other agencies and bodies being obtained in a timely manner; divestitures required by regulatory agencies being acceptable and completed in a timely manner; there being limited costs, difficulties or delays related to the integration of the Falconbridge's operations with those of Inco; the timely completion of the steps required to be taken for the eventual combination of the two companies; business and economic conditions generally; exchange rates, energy and other anticipated and unanticipated costs and pension contributions and expenses; the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of, nickel, copper, aluminum, zinc and other primary metals products and other metal products Inco and Falconbridge produce; the timing of the receipt of remaining regulatory and governmental approvals for the development projects and other operations; the continued availability of financing on appropriate terms for development projects; Falconbridge's costs of production and production and productivity levels, as well as those of its competitors; market competition; mining, processing, exploration and research and development activities; the accuracy of ore/mineral reserve estimates; premiums realized over LME cash and other benchmark prices; tax benefits/charges; the resolution of environmental and other proceedings and the impact on the combined company of various environmental regulations and initiatives; assumptions concerning political and economic stability in countries or locations in which Falconbridge operates or otherwise and the ability to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in such amounts as Falconbridge's Board of Directors may determine in light of other uses for such funds and other factors.

Note: All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

INCO AND FALCONBRIDGE IDENTIFY US$550 MILLION IN SYNERGIES

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (CCNMatthews — May 31, 2006) — Falconbridge Limited (TSX:FAL.LV)(NYSE:FAL) announced today that Inco Limited today has indicated that Inco and Falconbridge operations personnel have now jointly identified the potential to realize estimated average annual pre-tax operating and corporate synergies of approximately US$550 million, an increase of US$200 million from the estimated synergies at the time of the announcement of the Falconbridge transaction.

This increase in the synergies estimate is attributable to developed improvements in the Inco-Falconbridge integration plan and to changes in commodity price assumptions as a result of the improved commodity market outlook since October 2005. The net present value of the estimated annual average pre-tax run-rate operating and corporate synergies of US$550 million, using a 7% discount rate, is approximately US$3.5 billion on an after-tax basis.
