Interim Results

Anglesey Mining plc Interim Report 30 September 2004 The rising metal prices described in the last annual report continue to be a most encouraging feature of the minerals scene at present. Since that report, all the metals contained in our Parys Mountain property have performed well, and zinc particularly so. However a number of factors have made progress on Parys Mountain slower than we anticipated. That said, we believe we are overcoming these issues and that the continuing favourable outlook for metal prices will be a significant positive factor for the restarting of work on the development of Parys Mountain. We are currently examining a number of options for financing to reactivate plans for the Parys Mountain mine project and the possibility of attracting a joint venture partner is under active consideration. With current metal prices zinc and copper would contribute approximately equal percentages of the projected revenue from the Parys Mountain mine. Although part of the increase in metal prices is due to the weakness of the US dollar, there is also a strongly increased physical demand for metals, particularly driven by the phenomenal growth in the Chinese economy, and a lack of new mine production coming on stream. These factors are very encouraging and will have a very significant effect on Parys Mountain long term. According to the Robertson Research independent calculation of in situ resources, the following quantities of metal are presently identified at Parys Mountain: copper 151,000 tonnes, lead 167,000 tonnes zinc 345,000 tonnes, silver 255 tonnes and gold 2 tonnes. These are very significant quantities and the directors believe there is excellent potential for the discovery of further deposits to add those enumerated here. The financial results for the six month period to 30 September 2004 show a loss of £66,464, compared to a loss of £66,551 in the comparable period last year. The losses comprise ongoing operating and administrative expenses of £31,063 (2003 - £31,821), and interest of £35,458 (2003 - £36,754) payable on the intercompany loan due to Juno Limited. As indicated by these numbers, the company's activities have been stable compared to last year. At the annual general meeting held on 20 October 2004 shareholders approved a new share option scheme, following which the directors granted options over 6.9 million ordinary shares exercisable at a price of 4.13p per share during the period between one and ten years from the date of the grant. These options are subject to a performance condition before they can be exercised.
