Labrador Iron Mines

Houston Preliminary Economic Assessment

Anglesey Mining plc (“Anglesey”) is pleased to report that Labrador Iron
Mines Holdings Limited (“LIMH”) in which Anglesey has a 12% holding has
released the details of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on its
52% owned Houston Project.

Analysis

The Houston PEA which was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc of Toronto
reviewed the development of the Houston and Malcolm deposits in Newfoundland
and Labrador and in Quebec, Canada.  The PEA suggests a production time frame
of 12 years after an 18-month construction period.  Iron ore production would
amount to approximately 2 million tonnes per annum of 62% iron lump and sinter
direct shipping ore.  Initial capital cost including contingency is forecast
at a relatively low US$65 million.

The forecast after tax financial results are strong with an NPV8 and an IRR at
US$90 per tonne for 62% Fe ore of C$109 million and 39% respectively.

Using the current 62% Fe ore prices of US$160 per tonne increases these
financial results to C$459 million and 209% respectively.

Further details can be found on the LIMH website at www.labradorironmines.ca
