Further strong assay results from Parys Mountain drilling
Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), the UK minerals development company, continues to advance work programmes at both its Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au VMS project on the Isle of Anglesey in North West Wales and its Grängesberg iron ore project in Sweden.
Following the announcement released by the Company on 14th June regarding initial assay results, Anglesey is now pleased to announce that the second round of assay results have been received from an additional three holes of the recent infill drilling programme at Parys Mountain.
Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au Project
Jo Battershill, Chief Executive of Anglesey Mining, commented: “The intention of this programme was to increase the amount of resources in the Indicated category for the White Rock deposit, which stood at 4.7Mt, or 79%, prior to commencing the drilling. Given the results, we are very confident that a significant portion of the currently Inferred material will be upgraded to Indicated. The importance of this should not be discounted given Inferred resources are not permitted to be included in reserve estimates.”
“The next stage of this programme is to conduct pre-concentration studies on representative samples from areas that are likely to be mined. The ability to selectively remove the unmineralized material would have significant economic ramifications for the development studies.”
“In other areas, we continue to progress the ecological surveys required for the environmental baseline work and we will soon commence the initial tailings management and design studies. Both of these aspects are critical to progressing Parys Mountain through the permitting phase. Meanwhile, work on planning the Northern Copper Zone infill drilling programme, scheduled for later in the year, is progressing. As part of this process, the team is currently reviewing the historical drilling and resource model with the aim of optimising the infill drilling in the zones closest to surface as these could have the most immediate impact on the mine design and production schedule.”

* Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq %) = Zn grade % * Zn Recovery + (Cu grade % * Cu Recovery * (Cu price $/t / Zn price $/t)) + (Pb grade % * Pb Recovery * (Pb price $/t / Zn price $/t)) + (Ag grade g/t / 31.103 * Ag recovery * (Ag price $/oz / Zn price $/t)) + (Au grade g/t / 31.103 * Au recovery * (Au price $/oz / Zn price $/t))
Zn equivalent calculated using following commodity prices: Zn – US$1.25/lb, Cu – US$3.50/lb, Pb – US$1.00/lb, Ag – US$22.50/oz & Au – US$1750/oz
Zn Equivalent calculated using following recovery assumptions for White Rock deposit: Zn – 82%, Cu – 48%, Pb – 78%, Ag – 70% & Au -50%
Sample analysis and QA/QC
All samples generated from the drilling were dispatched to ALS Loughrea.
Samples were analysed for multi-element data analysis using their ME-ICP61 package, which includes Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn. The samples were also assayed for gold using their Au-AA23 analysis package. Overlimit assays were then analysed using their Ag-OG62, Cu-OG62, Pb-OG62, Zn-OG62 and ME-OG62 analysis packages.
For QA/QC purposes, Anglesey Mining used the industry standard of inserting 5% Certified Reference Material (CRM) samples, 2.5% Certified Blank Samples (Blanks) and 5% duplicate samples at source. The CRMs were sourced from Geostats Pty Ltd, Ore Research & Exploration Pty Ltd, OREAS and Natural Resources Canada.
