Interim Results
Anglesey Mining plc
Interim Report 30 September 2004
The rising metal prices described in the last annual report continue to be a
most encouraging feature of the minerals scene at present. Since that report,
all the metals contained in our Parys Mountain property have performed well,
and zinc particularly so. However a number of factors have made progress on
Parys Mountain slower than we anticipated. That said, we believe we are
overcoming these issues and that the continuing favourable outlook for metal
prices will be a significant positive factor for the restarting of work on
the development of Parys Mountain. We are currently examining a number of
options for financing to reactivate plans for the Parys Mountain mine project
and the possibility of attracting a joint venture partner is under active
consideration.
With current metal prices zinc and copper would contribute approximately
equal percentages of the projected revenue from the Parys Mountain mine.
Although part of the increase in metal prices is due to the weakness of the
US dollar, there is also a strongly increased physical demand for metals,
particularly driven by the phenomenal growth in the Chinese economy, and a
lack of new mine production coming on stream. These factors are very
encouraging and will have a very significant effect on Parys Mountain long
term.
According to the Robertson Research independent calculation of in situ
resources, the following quantities of metal are presently identified at
Parys Mountain: copper 151,000 tonnes, lead 167,000 tonnes zinc 345,000
tonnes, silver 255 tonnes and gold 2 tonnes. These are very significant
quantities and the directors believe there is excellent potential for the
discovery of further deposits to add those enumerated here.
The financial results for the six month period to 30 September 2004 show a
loss of £66,464, compared to a loss of £66,551 in the comparable period last
year. The losses comprise ongoing operating and administrative expenses of
£31,063 (2003 - £31,821), and interest of £35,458 (2003 - £36,754) payable on
the intercompany loan due to Juno Limited. As indicated by these numbers, the
company's activities have been stable compared to last year.
At the annual general meeting held on 20 October 2004 shareholders approved a
new share option scheme, following which the directors granted options over
6.9 million ordinary shares exercisable at a price of 4.13p per share during
the period between one and ten years from the date of the grant. These
options are subject to a performance condition before they can be exercised.
