Labrador Iron Mines Environmental Impact Statement Accepted for Schefferville
Area Iron Ore Project

Anglesey Mining plc is pleased to report that its 50% owned associate company
Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (TSX: LIM) has advised that the
Newfoundland Minister of Environment and Conservation today announced that
review of the Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") for LIM's proposed
Schefferville Area Iron Ore Project in Western Labrador has been completed.

The Minister has confirmed that the EIS complies with the Environmental
Protection Act and requires no further work under the Provincial environmental
assessment process. The Minister has advised LIM that she will be making a
recommendation for consideration by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
on release of the Project from further environmental assessment.

The EIS relates to Phase One of LIM's proposed Schefferville Area Iron Ore
Project in Western Labrador and covers the development of the James and Redmond
deposits, which are the first of eight separate deposits that LIM plans to
develop in the coming years.

"Acceptance of our EIS is a major step forward in LIM's Schefferville Area Iron
Ore Project", said John F. Kearney, Chairman, at the annual Mineral Resources
review 2009 and Provincial Mining Week in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. "We
are pleased that our efforts in planning the proper development of the Project,
recognizing the requirements of sound environmental management, social
responsibility, the support and aspirations of the Labrador Innu and the
policies of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, have been acknowledged
and accepted by this review and recommendation".

Upon Government approval and Project release LIM will progress the applications
for the permits and licenses required for the construction of the necessary
infrastructure for commencement of production planned for 2010. It is expected
that these permits and licenses will be issued during the next few months.

LIM intends to commence construction of infrastructure immediately upon project
release, including re-laying a 4 km rail spur line from the mine site to main
railroad and the construction of the major items of process plant and equipment
ahead of assembly on site in the spring of 2010.

"This successful completion of the environmental assessment process is
particularly timely given the current outlook for both iron ore prices and
demand. LIM is on track and we look forward to first production of direct
shipping iron ore in the summer of 2010, in what we hope and expect will be a
buoyant iron ore market," added John Kearney.
