Anglesey Mining's 19.7% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited
(TSX:LIM) reports that in connection with its previously announced amended
overnight marketed public offering on January 17, 2013 (the "Public Offering"),
it has entered into an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters
led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and including RBC Dominion Securities Inc.,
Scotia Capital Inc., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Jennings Capital
Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (the "Underwriters") to sell 24,000,000 units of
LIM (the "Units") at a price of C$1.05 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for
aggregate gross proceeds of C$25,200,000. Each Unit will consist of one common
share of LIM and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of LIM at an exercise
price of C$1.35 per common share for a period of 36 months following the date
of closing of the Public Offering.

LIM has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up
to 3,600,000 additional Units (in whole or in part), exercisable at any time up
to 30 days after and including the closing of the Public Offering at the
Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$3,780,000.

Anglesey is a major shareholder and insider of LIM which currently holds 19.2
million shares or approximately 19.5% of LIM's currently outstanding shares.
Anglesey has agreed to purchase on a non-brokered private placement basis (the
"Private Placement") up to 3,000,000 Units at a price of C$1.065 per Unit for
gross proceeds to LIM of C$3,195,000, subject to certain conditions, including
regulatory approvals described below. Completion of the Public Offering is not
conditional on this Private Placement, and purchasers of Units under the Public
Offering will not rely on the fact that Anglesey has agreed to increase its
present investment in common shares of LIM.

LIM intends to use the net proceeds from the Public Offering to fund
pre-stripping, mining, and processing costs, including payments to LIM's mining
contractors, and transportation costs, including tariff payments to TSH and QNS
&L, in connection with the seasonal resumption of production operations in
April 2013; capital and infrastructure expenditures on the Silver Yards
processing plant including the connection to hydro power; and to supplement
working capital and general and administrative costs for the remaining winter
season. Proceeds from the Private Placement are intended to be used to
supplement LIM's working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The Public Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 5, 2013 and is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and
the securities regulatory authorities. Closing of the Private Placement is
subject to several conditions which include (i) all necessary regulatory
approvals being obtained including that of the Toronto Stock Exchange; (ii)
Anglesey securing financing to fund the subscription price; and (iii) the
completion of the Public Offering. It is anticipated that this Private
Placement will close contemporaneously with or no later than 30 days after the
closing of the Public Offering.
