LIM - full-scale operations resume - blockade removed

Anglesey Mining's 26% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited
(TSX: LIM) is pleased to report that full-scale operations have resumed at
Schefferville after a five-day blockade was removed at the end of last week.
The blockade, set up by a group of local residents, restricted road access from
the town of Schefferville to LIM's mining operations in Labrador.

During this period, operations were minimally impacted as LIM continued to load
trains and transport iron ore to the Port of Sept-ÃŽles. Mining of direct rail
ore continued throughout the week while plant operations at the Silver Yards
Processing Facility were temporarily halted. Full-scale mining operations will
now ramp up to a full production rate over the next few days and the
exploration team has resumed its fieldwork program. There has been no impact on
the 2012 saleable production target of 2 million tonnes of iron ore

LIM is pleased that the barricade has been removed by agreement and without
incident. As this was a collaborative effort by all parties, LIM wishes to
acknowledge Chief Real McKenzie of the Innu Matimekush-Lac John and Chief Louis
Einish of the Naspaki Nation of Kawawachikamach, as well as their respective
Band Councils, for their leadership, efforts and support during this time. LIM
also wishes to thank the members of the community, as well as our local
employees at site and the employees in the communities of Schefferville Lac
Jean and Kawawachikamach who all worked together towards reaching a positive
outcome.

LIM will continue to work with the residents of Schefferville and the local
aboriginal groups to ensure open and honest dialogue to maintain long-term and
mutually-beneficial positive relationships with all stakeholders.
