_Chairman’s Statement_ This has been the most successful year that Anglesey Mining has ever experienced with the Schefferville iron ore mining operations of Labrador Iron Mines (“LIM”), in which the group holds 33% of the equity, moving into production.

The first rail shipment of iron ore to the port of Sept-Iles was despatched in June 2011 and LIM is now on track to produce over one million tonnes of iron ore this year, with plans for expansion to enable production of 2.5 million tonnes in 2012. The key developments and progress since the last Annual Report were: * LIM’s steady progress towards production saw the price of LIM shares continue to increase and at 19 July 2011 the market value of the group’s holding in LIM was C$199 million (£129 million) equivalent to 81 pence per Anglesey share. * LIM completed a share placement in April 2011 in which it raised C$121 million (£78.5 million).

It is now well financed to carry through its expansion plans. * The price of iron ore has remained strong and currently stands at around US$175 per tonne (CFR China) and the consensus of forecasts by respected market analysts is for trading in the range of $150 - $200 per tonne for a number of years.

This should be very positive for the future of LIM. * In January 2011 Anglesey raised £1.6 million through the exercise of share options with a concurrent private placing and now has a total of around £3.5 million in cash.
Parys Mountain At Parys Mountain, the group holds 100% of the largest known base metal deposit in the United Kingdom.

Resources of zinc, copper and lead with small but significant amounts of silver and gold total 7.76 million tonnes, most of which are historic resources, but which include 1.75 million tonnes of JORC compliant resource in the indicated category. The prices for copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, which are the major metals to be mined at Parys Mountain have remained strong.

We believe that the Parys project has the potential to become a very significant base metal producer with by-products of gold and silver which would generate a substantial value for shareholders. It is intended to undertake a detailed review of the resources and the development options for Parys Mountain during the remainder of 2011.

This review will include the 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.

The review will also include the identification of drilling targets close to the White Rock with the objective of increasing the near surface resources.
Financial The results of Anglesey are dominated by those of its associate LIM, which during the financial year was a development company with no revenues and significant expenses in respect of its administrative costs.

Primarily as a result of the losses reported by LIM, Anglesey recorded an overall loss of £1.44 million for the year ended 31 March 2011. With a total of around £3.5 million in cash and administrative cash costs of less than £0.4 million per year the group is well placed to finance the review and the first stages of any subsequent development of Parys Mountain. I look forward to the on-going success of Anglesey in what are truly exciting times. _John F.
