LIM completes C$71.6 million equity financing

Anglesey Mining's 26% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited
(TSX:LIM) announced today that it has completed its previously announced public
offering of C$60,950,000 in common shares and C$10,675,000 in flow-through
shares of LIM, at a price of C$5.30 per common share and C$6.10 per
flow-through share (collectively, the "Offering").

The Offering was completed by a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and included Jennings Capital Inc., Octagon Capital Corp., RBC
Capital Markets, Haywood Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Paradigm Capital
Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (collectively, the "Underwriters").

LIM intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for upgrades and
expansion of its Silver Yards project, additional rail equipment and upgrades
of its transportation infrastructure, development of its Houston project,
exploration of mineral properties and for general corporate and working capital
purposes.

LIM issued 11,500,000 common shares and 1,750,000 flow-through shares pursuant
to the Offering and now has 67,323,307 common shares outstanding after giving
effect to the Offering.

LIM has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up
to 1,725,000 additional common shares, exercisable at any time up to 30 days
after and including the closing of the Offering, at a price equal to the
offering price of the common shares of C$5.30 per share.

The Offering was made pursuant to a short form prospectus filed in each of the
provinces of Canada other than Quebec.

Following the completion of the Offering (but not the over-allotment option)
the interest of Anglesey Mining plc in the share capital of LIM has been
reduced to 26.4%. Fully diluted and including the over-allotment option the
interest would be 24.9%.
