    Labrador Iron reaches agreement with Quebec Innu to remove barriers
 
         Mine and plant construction to commence immediately

Anglesey Mining plc's 41% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited
(TSX: LIM) has reported that agreement has been reached with the Innu
Matimekush-Lac John to immediately remove the barriers that had restricted 
normal access from the town of Schefferville to adjacent mining properties 
and thereby enable the ongoing development of the LIM’s iron ore projects 
in Western Labrador and Quebec. 

Thia agreement was achieved following detailed negotiations between LIM and
representatives of the Quebec Innu, including Innu Matimekush - Lac John
(Schefferville) and Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam (Sept-Iles), and
following discussions and consultations between the Quebec Innu and the various
Governments, including meetings in Schefferville attended by representatives of
the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Government of Quebec and
representatives of the Federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. Each of
the Governments has made certain commitments to the Innu towards resolving a
number of issues that will help facilitate the mining projects in the
Schefferville area to move forward on an ongoing basis.

Under the agreement with Innu Matimekush - Lac John, which was ratified by
public meeting of the community on September 1, Labrador Iron Mines, together
with New Millennium Capital Corp., have committed to jointly support a number
of local social activities, including some education, training, health and
youth programs and, with Government participation, improvements to the
community arena facility in Schefferville.

Following the agreement, construction of LIM's iron ore project in Western
Labrador will now proceed on a fast track basis and LIM and will proceed with
negotiations with the Innu Matimekush-Lac John towards concluding an Impact
Benefits Agreement.

LIM will also continue detailed negotiations towards signing an Impact Benefits
Agreement with Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam who, as had been
previously anticipated, have initiated legal action against the Government of
Newfoundland and Labrador regarding the Crown's duty of consultation with
respect to the permitting of LIM's Schefferville Area Iron Ore Project in
Western Labrador.

"LIM is extremely pleased that, with the co-operation of all three Governments,
agreement has been reached with the Quebec Innu paving the way for construction
of our project so that commercial production of iron ore can commence in 2011."
said John Kearney, Chairman and Chief Executive. "We look forward to concluding
negtiations on the IBA agreements and to further developing a harmonious and 
long term working relationship with all of our aboriginal partners for the 
mutual benefit of all stakeholders" added Mr. Kearney.

Project Construction to Commence Immediately

LIM is now planning to immediately commence ground clearing, in parallel with
contractor mobilization, to be followed by civil construction and mechanical
erection of the plant in the subsequent weeks. It is expected that the
beneficiation plant will be fully erected in about 12 weeks. In parallel to the
plant construction the mine accommodation camp will be brought to site and
erected some 4 kilometers south-east of the plant site.

During the last several weeks a significant portion of the infrastructure and
beneficiation plant has been transported by rail from a railhead near Labrador
City to Schefferville via the TSH aboriginal railroad, which is jointly owned
by the two Quebec Innu communities and the Naskapi Nation. These items are now
being assembled in Schefferville and ready for road transport over three
kilometers to LIM's Silver Yard beneficiation site in Labrador. Further rail
shipments, direct to Silver Yard on LIM's spur line, are planned for the coming
weeks.

Initial open-pit waste removal and mine extraction will also be carried out
using local contractors to enable ore to be stockpiled on the crusher pad ahead
of dry run testing of the beneficiation plant.

The construction of the plant and camp and the initiation of mining activities,
prior to the onset of the mid-winter, will enable commercial production
activities to commence in the spring of 2011.

The last two major operating permits, for the operation of the mine and the
operation of the rail spur, are expected to be issued shortly by the Government
of Newfoundland and Labrador following a consultation process with potentially
affected First Nations.
