losses for taxation purposes
which may be offset against investment income and other revenues. Accordingly
no provision has been made for Corporation Tax. There is an unrecognised
deferred tax asset at 31 March 2015 of £1.3 million (2014 - £1.3 million)
which, in view of the group's trading results, is not considered by the
directors to be recoverable in the short term. There are also capital
allowances, including mineral extraction allowances, of £12.4 million unclaimed
and available at 31 March 2015 (2014 - £12.3 million). No deferred tax asset is
recognised in respect of these allowances.

Domestic income tax is calculated at 21% of the estimated          
assessed profit for the year.                                      
                                                                   
In  2014 the rate used was 23% and the change this year is due     
to a change in Corporation Tax

rates prevailing in the relevant

As the group has a loss for the year ended 31 March 2015 the effect of the
outstanding share options is anti-dilutive and diluted earnings are reported to
be the same as basic earnings.

Potential impairment of mineral property

Accumulated exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of the Parys
project is carried in the financial statements at cost, less an impairment
provision where there are grounds to believe that the discounted present value
of the future cash flows from the project is less than the carrying value or
there are other reasons to indicate that the carrying value is unsuitable.

This year the directors carried out an impairment review with an effective date
of 26 March 2015. This review was based on an estimate of discounted future
cash flows from the development and operation of the Parys Mountain project
over the initial projected mine life of 16 years. The directors have used past
experience and an assessment of future conditions, together with external
sources of information, to determine the assumptions which were adopted in the
preparation of a financial model used to estimate the cashflows.

The key assumptions utilised were:

  * Capital costs were estimated at current costs when the expenditure is
    planned to be incurred; neither revenues nor operating costs will take into
    account any inflation.
  * Metal prices (long-term estimates): zinc 1.15 US$/lb; copper 3.25 US$/lb;
    lead 1.00 US$/lb; silver US$18.00 per ounce and gold US$1200 per ounce.
    Exchange rate US$1.55/£.
  * The discount rate of 10% applied to future cashflows is one which reflects
    the directors' current market assessment of the time value of money and any
    risk factors which have not been adjusted already in the preparation of the
    forecast.

The directors estimated the sensitivity of the assumptions used in the cashflow
model which would significantly affect the discounted net present value of the
projected Parys cashflows. The figures which follow are the variation expressed
in percent of each specific assumption which would, on its own, reduce the
calculated net present value to the carrying value of the intangible asset in
the accounts: copper price -24%, zinc price -10%, lead price -21%, capital
expenditure +13%, mining costs +19%, all operating costs including mining +10%
and the discount rate +16%.

Based on the above parameters the directors believe that no impairment
provision is necessary or appropriate.  However estimates of the net present
value of any project, and particularly one like Parys Mountain, are always
subject to many factors and wide margins of error. The directors believe that
the estimates and calculations supporting their conclusions have been carefully
considered and are a fair representation of the projected financial performance
of the project.

Based on the review set out above the directors have determined that no
impairment provision is required in the financial statements in respect of the
carrying value of the Parys property.

LIM

On 2 April 2015, LIM instituted proceedings in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice for a financial restructuring by means of a plan of compromise or
arrangement under the Canadian Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in order to
facilitate a restructuring and refinancing of its business operations. In
February 2015, to save the substantial costs associated with a stock exchange
listing and to maintain restructuring flexibility, LIM voluntarily delisted its
common shares and warrants from the Toronto Stock Exchange, effective 23
February 2015, and the group's  investment in LIM is now classified as
'unquoted'.  Based on these factors and the difficulty of determining a fair
market value the directors have decided to write down the value of the LIM
shares at 31 March 2015 to a nominal value of £1. Consequent upon these changes
this investment is reclassified as Level 3 rather than Level 1 under the IFRS
fair value hierarchy. The company's policy is to recognise these transfers on
the effective date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the
transfer.

At 31 March 2014 LIM was treated as an investment in listed equity securities
that present the group with opportunity for return through dividend income and
trading gains. These shares were not held for trading and accordingly were
classified as 'available for sale' which was deemed to be the most appropriate
classification under IFRS. The LIM investment was measured subsequent to
initial recognition at fair value as 'Level 1' AFS based on the degree to which
the fair value is observable. Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived
from quoted priced (unadjusted) in active markets. At 31 March 2014 the value
of the LIM investment was deemed to be impaired given the decline in the share
price.

Grangesberg

As explained in more detail in the strategic report, the group has, through its
Swedish subsidiary Angmag AB, acquired a 6% ownership interest in GIAB, a
Swedish company which holds rights over the Grangesberg iron ore deposits. This
investment has been initially recognised and subsequently measured at cost, on
the basis that the shares are not quoted and a reliable fair value is not able
to be estimated. However the group also had, between May 2014 and 30 March
2015, an option over a further 51% of GIAB together with management direction
of the activities of GIAB subject to certain restrictions during the term of
the option. The option has been replaced by a right of first refusal expiring
on 30 June 2018, while operational management continues largely unaltered.

The board  determined that it did not have the relevant control over GIAB
within the meaning of  the provisions of IFRS 10 during the term of the option,
which would have required consolidation of GIAB into the group's financial
statements with a 6% shareholding and a 94% minority interest.

Although the group did not have control during the option period it did have
significant influence over certain relevant activities of GIAB. The group has
not applied equity accounting for the period during the year when it had
significant influence as the directors consider this would not have any
material affect.

The income statement and statement of financial position of Grangesberg Iron at
31 December 2014, the latest date on which such accounts have been prepared,
converted into sterling at the rate in effect at the applicable year end have
been  included below as an aid to disclosure. There are no material adjustments
in respect of significant transactions or events in the period from 31 December
2014 and 31 March 2015 which affect these statements. These statements are
filed at the Bolagsverket: Swedish Companies Registration Office and have been
externally audited by a firm other than Mazars.

Juno: Apart from an advance of £125,000 made in December 2014 there has been no
change in the loan principal during the year. The loan is provided under a
working capital agreement, denominated in sterling, unsecured and carries
interest at 10% per annum on the principal only. It is repayable from any
future financing undertaken by the company, or on demand following a notice
period of 367 days. The terms of the facility were approved by an independent
committee of the board. The carrying value of the loan approximates to its fair
value.

The provision for site reinstatement covers the estimated costs of
reinstatement at the Parys Mountain site of the work done and changes made by
the group up to the date of the accounts. These costs would be payable on
completion of mining activities (which is estimated to be more than 20 years'
after mining commences) or on earlier abandonment of the site. There are
significant uncertainties inherent in the assumptions made in estimating the
amount of this provision, which include judgements of changes to the legal and
regulatory framework, magnitude of possible contamination and the timing,
extent and costs of required restoration and rehabilitation activity. The
provision has been increased by £8,000 during the year.

2004 Unapproved share option plan

This group plan provides for a grant price equal to or above the average quoted
market price of the ordinary shares for the three trading days prior to the
date of grant. All options granted to date have carried a performance
criterion, namely that the company's share price performance from the date of
grant must exceed that of the companies in the top quartile of the FTSE 100
index. The vesting period for any options granted since 2004 has been one year.
If the options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from the date of
grant, they expire. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves employment
with the group before the options vest.

The plan has now closed and no options were granted or forfeited in the year.
Options over 5,500,000 shares expired during the year. The options outstanding
at 12H31 March 2015 had a weighted average exercise price of 17.06 pence (2014
- 10.90 pence), and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2 years
(2014 - 2 years). As all options had vested by 31 March 2010, the group
recognised no expenses in respect of equity-settled employee remuneration in
respect of the years ended 31 March 2014 and 2015.

2014 Unapproved share option plan

This group plan, approved on 30 September 2014, has very similar terms and

24  Financial instruments

Capital risk management

There have been no changes during the year in the group's capital risk
management policy.

The group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able
to continue as going concerns while optimising the debt and equity balance. The
capital structure of the group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings
disclosed in note 19, the cash and cash equivalents and equity comprising
issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The group does not enter into derivative or hedging transactions and it is the
group's policy that no trading in financial instruments be undertaken. The main
risks arising from the group's financial instruments are currency risk and
interest rate risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of
these risks and these are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The amounts advanced under the Juno loans are at a fixed rate of interest of
10% per annum and as a result the group is not exposed to interest rate
fluctuations. Interest received on cash balances is not material to the group's
operations or results.

The company (Anglesey Mining plc) is exposed to minimal interest rate risks.

Liquidity risk

The group has ensured continuity of funding through a mixture of issues of
shares and the working capital agreement with Juno Limited.

Trade creditors are payable on normal credit terms which are usually 30 days.
The loans due to Juno and Angmag carry a notice period of 367 days. Juno,  in
keeping with its practice since drawdown commenced more than 10 years ago, has
indicated that it has no current intention of demanding repayment. No such
notice had been received by 16 July 2015 in respect of either of the loans and
they are classified as having a maturity date between one and two years from
the period end.

Currency risk

The functional currency of the group and company is pounds sterling. The loan
from Juno Limited is denominated in pounds sterling. As a result, the group has
no currency exposure in respect of this loan. Currency risk in respect of the
investment in LIM is no longer significant.

In respect of the investment in Grangesberg in Sweden if the rate of exchange
between the Swedish Krona and sterling were to weaken against sterling by 10%
there would be a loss to the group of £8,300 and if it were to move in favour
of sterling by a similar amount there would be a gain of £10,100. Regarding
liabilities denominated in Krona if the rate of exchange between the Swedish
Krona and sterling were to weaken against sterling by 10% there would be a gain
to the group of £20,600 and if it were to move in favour of sterling by a
similar amount there would be a loss of £25,200.

In respect of the group's  Canadian dollar holding, if the rate of exchange
between the Canadian dollar and sterling were to weaken against sterling by 10%
there would be a loss to the group of £1,800 and if it were to move in favour
of sterling by a similar amount there would be a gain of £2,200.

Potential exchange variations in respect of other foreign currencies are not
material. 

Credit risk

The directors consider that the entity has limited exposure to credit risk as
the entity has immaterial receivable balances at the year-end on which a third
party may default on its contractual obligations. The carrying amount of the
group's financial assets represents its maximum exposure to credit risk. Cash
is deposited with BBB or better rated banks.
