LIM announces C$110 million equity financing

Anglesey Mining's associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (TSX:LIM) (the
"Company" or "LIM") (hitherto 41% owned) is pleased to announce that in
connection with its previously announced overnight marketed public offering on
April 4, 2011 (the "Offering"), it has entered into an underwriting agreement
with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and including
BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Jennings Capital Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and
Scotia Capital Inc. (the "Underwriters") to sell 8,000,000 common shares (the
"Common Shares") at a price of C$12.50 per Common Share and 666,700
flow-through shares (the "FT Shares", and together with the Common Shares, the
"Underwritten Shares") of the Company at a price of C$15.00 per FT Share for
aggregate gross proceeds of C$110,000,500.

LIM has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up
to that number of additional common shares (the "Over-Allotment Common Shares",
and together with the Common Shares and FT Shares, the "Offered Securities")
equal to 15% of the Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, 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$12.50 per share.

issue of the Underwritten Shares Anglesey's holding in LIM will represent 33.8%
of LIM's issued share capital; assuming the Over-Allotment Common Shares are
also issued, Anglesey's holding in LIM will be 33.1%.

expansion of the Silver Yards plant, for payments under the recently announced
rail transportation agreements, for exploration and development of its mineral
projects, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

the provinces of Canada other than Quebec. The Offered Securities are not
