LIM completes C$35 (?23.0) million financing

Anglesey Mining plc is pleased to announce that its 50% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines (LIM) reports that it has completed the previously announced offering of C$30,003,300 in LIM common shares (the ?Treasury Common Shares?) and C$5,054,000 in flow-through shares, which have been placed at a price of C$5.55 per Treasury Common Share and C$6.65 per flow-through share (collectively, the ?Offering?). The Offering was completed by a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Financial Ltd. and included Jennings Capital Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively, the ?Underwriters?).

LIM intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration and development of its mineral projects, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

LIM has 43,369,951 common shares outstanding after giving effect to the Offering.

Anglesey Mining plc, in connection with the Offering, has granted the Underwriters an option (the ?Over-Allotment Option?) to purchase from Anglesey up to 810,900 previously issued LIM common shares for the purpose of covering the Underwriters? over-allocation position at C$5.55 per share for gross proceeds of up to C$4,500,495 (?2.9 million), being up to 15% of the amount raised from the sale of Treasury Common Shares, exercisable at any time in whole or in part, up to 30 days after the closing date of the Offering.

Anglesey currently holds 18,600,000 LIM common shares.  The net proceeds from the sale of the optioned shares, if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, will be received entirely by Anglesey and will be used by Anglesey for general corporate costs and working capital purposes.
