               LIM first quarter results and operational update

                         Interim Management Statement

   Anglesey's major activity is its 33% share of Toronto-listed Labrador Iron
   Mines Holdings Limited (TSX:LIM) which holds twenty direct shipping iron ore
   deposits in western Labrador and north-eastern Quebec and is currently
   mining the first of these to be developed at the James Mine.

   Anglesey also has 100% of the Parys Mountain zinc-copper-lead deposit in
   North Wales, UK with a total historical resource in excess of 7 million
   tonnes at over 9% combined copper, lead and zinc.

Labrador

   LIM reports that it has filed its unaudited financial statements and MD&A
   for the first quarter of fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.  The documents
   are   available   under   LIM�s   profile   at  www.sedar.com  and  on
   www.labradorironmines.ca.

   Ore mining at the James Mine commenced in June 2011 and by the end of July a
   total of 305,000 tonnes of ore had been mined and trucked to the Silver
   Yards area for processing and transport to Port.  LIM is very encouraged by
   the grade of James ore which has been in excess of expectations � of the
   total production to the end of July, some 170,000 tonnes of direct railable
   ore at an average grade of around 65% iron had been mined and is being sent
   directly to Sept-Iles without further processing.

   The first ore train loaded with direct railing iron ore departed Silver
   Yards for the Port of Sept-Iles on June 29, 2011.  To the end of July, a
   total  of 50,000 tonnes had been railed to Sept-Iles and is stockpiled
   awaiting shipment.

   The Silver Yards processing plant is now operating satisfactorily, following
   commissioning and start-up in June 2011, at the planned initial processing
   rate of 6,000 tonnes per day, which will be incrementally increased to
   10,000 tonnes per day.  By the end of July, about 100,000 tonnes of material
   had been fed to the plant yielding approximately 50,000 tonnes of high grade
   lump and sinter fine product.

   In August 2011, LIM signed an agreement with the Iron Ore Company of Canada
   (IOC) for the sale and shipping of all of LIM�s 2011 iron ore production.
   LIM believes that the benefits associated with this arrangement, together
   with the benefits of the utilization of larger Cape Size Ocean going ships,
   will  ensure  that the maximum possible tonnage of LIM�s 2011 iron ore
   production will be efficiently shipped and sold during the remainder of
   calendar 2011.

   Iron ore will continue to be delivered to the port by train in increasing
   volumes, and inventory stockpiles will be built to sufficient size to enable
   shipping to the ultimate customers.  It is expected that the first shipment
   of iron ore from the James Mine, likely to China, will occur in late August
   or early September.

   For calendar 2011, it is estimated that a total of about 2.2 million tonnes
   of ore will be mined from the James Mine and that approximately 750,000 to
   1,000,000 tonnes of saleable product will be railed to the Port of Sept-Iles
   before the end of the season.  Actual tonnes railed and sold will depend on
   the  continued  build  up  of  rail  shipments and the onset of winter
   conditions.  All of this product will be sold to IOC.  In addition to these
   sales, it is expected that approximately 1,200,000 tonnes of iron ore will
   be  held  in inventory at Silver Yards and available for treatment and
   shipping in calendar 2012.

  Silver Yards Operations

   The  Silver Yards processing plant continues to ramp up. This has been
   somewhat slower than planned due primarily to a larger percentage of fine
   material than originally forecast.  Much of this ultra-fine material is
   currently passing through the secondary screens resulting in a lower than
   anticipated level of iron recovery.  A second phase expansion is currently
   underway at the Silver Yards plant. When this next phase of expansion,
   designed specifically for fine material, is commissioned in early September
   it is expected that the throughput and recovery will improve.

   Throughput to the plant for the remainder of calendar 2011 will be dependent
   upon the continuation of the ramp up, on the scheduled commissioning of the
   Phase II equipment, and upon the onset of winter when wet processing will no
   longer be possible.  It is now forecast that a total of about 800,000 tonnes
   of iron ore will be fed to the plant before the onset of winter, which is
   expected to yield around 550,000 tonnes of high grade saleable products.

   Planning is now well advanced for the Phase III plant extension at Silver
   Yards to increase production.  This expansion is expected to be in place by
   mid 2012, treating between 2.6 and 2.8 million tonnes of ore including
   material from stockpiles yielding around 2.0 million tonnes of product in
   calendar 2012.

  Rail to Port

   Iron ore from the James Mine is currently transported by rail from Silver
   Yards, via the Tshiuetin Rail Transportation Inc. (TSH) railway and the
   Quebec North Shore and Labrador (QNS&L) railway, to the Port of Sept-Iles
   where the ore is unloaded and stockpiled adjacent to LIM�s Point-aux-Basques
   dock facilities leased from the Port of Sept-Iles.

   The buildup in rail shipments is slower than planned. LIM has purchased a
   fleet  of  400  previously used railcars of which about half have been
   delivered  to  Sept-Iles  where  modifications to meet local operating
   conditions  are being carried out.  This process has taken longer than
   anticipated.   LIM  continues  to move rail cars into the Sept-Iles to
   Schefferville rail system.  An additional 65 cars will be brought into the
   system before the middle of September.  LIM�s locomotives have now been
   increased to four and this will permit the introduction of a second train by
   the  end  of August.  With the introduction of a second train and more
   railcars, the tonnage being transported to the Port of Sept-Iles should
   increase significantly.

   During 2012, a third train will be introduced to enable approximately 2.5
   million tonnes of iron ore, including both plant product and direct railing
   ore, to be railed to Sept-Iles.  TSH has commenced upgrade work on its
   Menihek rail line following a cash investment by both LIM and Tata Steel
   Canada and this work will need to be continued to ensure that the tonnages
   planned for 2012 can be transported. This ongoing TSH rail upgrade will be
   subject to some continuing cash investment by the mine operating companies
   and potentially by governments.

  Iron Ore Sale Agreement with IOC

   LIM  has entered into an agreement with the Iron Ore Company of Canada
   (�IOC�), Canada�s largest iron ore producer, for the sale and shipping of
   all of LIM�s calendar 2011 iron ore production. Under the confidential sales
   contract with IOC, the iron ore will be delivered to Asian markets and
   resold by IOC�s marketing organization on the spot market. The sale price
   for iron ore sold to IOC will be based on the actual realized prices to
   Chinese customers, less an allocation for handling, loading, shipping and
   sales costs.

   IOC owns 100% of the QNS&L railway and, at the Port of Sept-Iles, owns
   established storage and ore handling facilities, including its ship dock
   capable of taking ocean going vessels up to 240,000 (dwt) tonnes.  LIM�s
   agreement with IOC will enable utilization of Cape Size Ocean going ships,
   where current freight rates are lower than for the alternative but smaller
   Panamax vessels, for the shipment of LIM�s iron ore.

  2011 Exploration Program

   LIM commenced its largest ever exploration program on its Schefferville
   Projects in early June 2011 aimed at confirming and extending the resources
   at  its  Stage  1 and 2 deposits.  A total of 14,500 metres of reverse
   circulation drilling will be completed before the onset of winter.  Two rigs
   are now in operation with a third rig to be added shortly. By the end of
   July about 2,800 metres had been drilled on a number of deposits with the
   Houston deposit being the main focus.  Ongoing exploration support programs,
   including trenching and air-borne geophysics, will also be completed during
   the current season.

  Stage 2 Houston Deposit and Redmond Plant

   LIM is evaluating the development of a new separate Stage 2 operation for
   the Houston deposit including a dedicated processing plant to be located at
   Redmond which, subject to environmental assessment,  permitting and detailed
   engineering, could be brought into production commencing in 2013 at an
   eventual rate of 2.5 to 3 million tonnes per year. This would be in addition
   to  the  existing processing plant at Silver Yards which, with planned
   enhancements and additions, will have a similar design capacity.

  Results of Operations

   For  the three months ended June 30, 2011, LIM reported a loss of $4.7
   million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02
   per share, during the first quarter of the prior year. The variance in the
   results  of operations relates almost entirely to start-up expenses of
   approximately  $3.5  million  incurred  in  the  quarter  relating  to
   non-refundable transportation expenses incurred prior to establishing full
   scale transportation of iron ore to the port.

   During  the quarter, LIM made cash expenditures of approximately $21.2
   million in property, plant and equipment, compared to approximately $4.9
   million incurred in the first quarter of the prior year.

   The average life of mine operating costs for the James and Redmond deposits
   were  estimated to be in the range of approximately $50 per tonne. The
   calendar year 2011 is considered to be a short start-up and testing year and
   initial unit operating costs for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 will
   be higher than the anticipated life of mine average.

   At June 30, 2011 LIM had $87.9 million in unrestricted and cash equivalents
   and $7.5 million in restricted cash.  LIM is in a strong financial position
   that  will  allow it to fund its working capital requirements for 2011
   production ramp-up and to fund its exploration and expansion plans.

  About Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (LIM)

   LIM�s  Schefferville Projects involve the development of twenty direct
   shipping iron ore deposits in western Labrador and north-eastern Quebec near
   Schefferville, Quebec. The properties are part of the historic Schefferville
   area iron ore district where mining of adjacent deposits was previously
   carried out by the Iron Ore Company of Canada from 1954 to 1982.

   Labrador Iron Mines contemplates mining in stages.  The first phase of Stage
   1 comprises the James Mine and the Silver Yard processing plant which is
   connected by a rail spur to the main Schefferville to Sept-Iles railway.

   Full scale mining and processing operations commenced in June 2011 and the
   first train departed LIM�s Silver Yards for Sept-Iles on June 29, 2011. To
   the end of July, about 50,000 tonnes of direct railing iron ore had been
   delivered to the Port of Sept-Iles where it is stockpiled awaiting shipment.

Parys Mountain

   Work on the detailed review of the resources and the development options for
   Parys  Mountain referred to in the recent annual report is now getting
   underway. Proposals for various aspects of the work have been received from
   consultants and a compilation of geological data and environmental reports
   is being prepared. Work is also proceeding on the identification of drill
   targets.

   The review will include reappraisal of the previously proposed White Rock
   mine which would target near surface resources as a first stage development
   option, which would lead to the subsequent development of the deeper lying
   resources.
