Anglesey Mining plc

(“Anglesey” or “the Company”)

Additional funding secured and work programmes approved

Anglesey Mining plc (LSE:AYM), the UK minerals exploration and development
company, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a placing of
shares and the commencement of the next work programmes at both the Parys
Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au project on the isle of Anglesey and the Grängesberg
Iron Ore Project in Sweden.

Highlights
* Fund raising secures additional £768,230 via issuance of 22,595,000 shares
at a price of 3.4p, a discount of 5.6% to the closing price on 7 October 2021
(being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement)
* CEO Jo Battershill subscribes for 1,565,588 shares at the placing price as
part of the fundraising
* Funds to be used to assist with work approved by the Board of Anglesey
including: * Appointment of drilling contractor to complete infill programme
at Parys Mountain, with the rig expected to mobilise in the next 3-4 weeks
* Commencement of environmental studies at Parys Mountain as a requirement for
the permitting process; and,
* Commencement of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the
Grängesberg project
Jo Battershill, the CEO of Anglesey Mining, commented: “I am very pleased
with the funding for a number of reasons. Firstly, the strong demand
demonstrates a genuine investor interest in seeing the Parys Mountain and
Grängesberg projects advanced through to their next stages of development.
Secondly, it has provided me with an opportunity to align myself with
shareholders to participate in the equity upside that I believe is achievable
with Anglesey Mining and finally it provides an additional level of comfort
from a working capital perspective. I would also like to welcome the new
shareholders, which include mining funds and HNWI’s, to the Anglesey Mining
register.

On the projects, I am incredibly excited to be able to get the drills turning
again at Parys Mountain. The initial infill programme will enable us to
convert the remaining portions of the White Rock Zone into the higher
confidence Indicated Resource category and provide important geotechnical and
metallurgical data, which will provide critical information feeding into the
Feasibility Study in 2022.

For Grängesberg, we are pleased to appoint Micon International to complete
the PEA, which I believe will demonstrate just how significant that
opportunity could become.”
