Results of Annual General Meeting and update on progress
At the Annual General Meeting of Anglesey Mining plc held in London today, all
of the resolutions put before the meeting were passed. David Lean, Howard Miller
and Danesh Varma were re-elected as directors. Details of voting are on the
company's website at www.angleseymining.co.uk
John Kearney the chairman addressed the meeting and reported the satisfactory
progress being made by Labrador Iron Mines Holdings (TSX:LIM), the company's 50%
owned associate, which was progressing the development of its iron ore deposits
in eastern Canada.
He expressed his confidence that the revised Environmental Impact Statement
filed with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador on 21 August 2009 would
result in regulatory approval for the proposed operations which remained on
track to commence commercial production in the middle of 2010.
A presentation on developments in Labrador was given. The key points of this
presentation were:
· A further 1,000 metres of drilling has been completed since the statement
made on 22 September 2009 and exploration for the year is expected to be
completed by mid-October
· Metallurgical testwork has indicated that a high grade product with low
levels of deleterious elements can be produced
· Subject to timely project release from the Government of Newfound and
Labrador the project is on track for first commercial production during
the summer of next year.
The chairman further noted that following the fall in iron ore prices after the
downturn of 2008, prices had recovered (driven by strong demand from China) and
that the outlook for iron ore demand remains positive. He also commented on
recent broker reports in respect of LIM. Copies of all relevant research of
which the company is aware and permitted to publish can be found on the
website.
In respect to the group's Parys Mountain copper, lead and zinc property in North
Wales, John Kearney stated that he had been encouraged by recent recoveries in
base metal prices which, if consolidated and improved, would result in further
efforts being made by the group to unlock the value of the Parys Mountain
project. The group would also use this opportunity to source additional projects
within its commodity and regional experience.
