Commenting on the preliminary results, Peter Boycott, Chairman of Anglo Pacific, said:
"I am pleased to report that, despite volatile equity markets and continuing economic uncertainties, the Group has continued to make good progress with its strategy of developing a leading portfolio of royalties. During the year we have increased and diversified our portfolio further by acquiring three new royalties and an option to acquire an additional royalty. At the same time we have seen a significant increase in the royalties received from existing assets and have made progress in developing the private Canadian coal assets.
Anglo Pacific Group is now quoted on both the TSX and the LSE and the profile of the Group both in the industry and amongst investors continues to grow. We look forward to expanding our shareholder base in North America over the coming year. The Board remains confident it can continue with its strategy of acquiring new royalties to generate cash flows and is therefore pleased to be able to propose a 9.7% increase in the final dividend for shareholders."

A year in review
During the year continuing demand for raw materials from the emerging Asian economies has led to substantially higher commodity prices. The increase in economic activity has resulted in greater demand for key commodites, which produced firmer metallurgical coal, iron ore and uranium prices. This has been beneficial for the Group's royalty and mining interests in these sectors. Furthermore, due to the ongoing efforts to counter sluggish growth rates and an uncertain outlook for Western economies, concerns over inflation and currency stability have persisted during the year. This led to stronger gold and precious metal markets where the Group has substantial exposure.
These price rises have been further accentuated by a number of natural disasters and production setbacks which have themselves produced buoyant conditions throughout the mining sector. Strong junior quoted mining markets have enabled the Group to dispose of a number of mature equity interests where opportunities for the acquisition of royalties were no longer possible. Together with strong coking coal royalty receipts this has produced record earnings for the Group.
The Group's strategy remains focused on securing new royalties by acquisition and through investment in its mining interests in order to generate strong cash flows and continue to pay dividends to its shareholders. Anglo Pacific Group remains committed to a progressive dividend policy.
Results and dividends
The Group profit after tax increased by 173% to £56.3 million (2009: £20.6 million)
The Directors recommend a final dividend of 5.10p per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 which, with the interim dividend of 3.95p per share paid on January 12, 2011, will make total dividends for 2010 of 9.05p per share (2009: 8.35p).
Royalties
During 2010 the Group acquired a number of new royalties including two major iron ore royalties and a smaller chrome royalty. In addition, the Group obtained an option to acquire a substantial nickel royalty. Together with the Group's active management of its mining interests this has produced a further substantial rise in the value of the Group's total assets. The Group now owns a total of fifteen royalty interests of which three are currently in production.
The new royalties announced during the year were:
· Iron Ore (Australia): On June 30, 2010 the Group completed the purchase of the DFD Rhodes Group 1.5% iron ore royalty, covering three exploration licences in the central Pilbara region of Western Australia, for a sum of A$23 million in cash. The Group is pleased to have acquired such a high quality royalty and anticipates that these iron ore deposits will be mined by BHP Billiton Limited in years to come as part of its planned expansion of iron ore output in the Pilbara region.
· Iron Ore (Brazil): On December 3, 2010 the Group completed the purchase from Beadell Resources Limited of the 1% gross iron ore revenue royalty rights covering the Anglo American PLC operated Amapá Iron Ore System as well as Beadell Resources Limited's mining concessions and exploration tenements in the Amapá region of northern Brazil for a sum of A$31.25million in cash. The Amapá project is currently in production.
· Chromite (Albania): On December 20, 2010 the Group announced that it had completed the acquisition for C$3.1 million from Empire Mining Corporation of a 3% gross revenue royalty on the Bulqiza chromite project in Albania. These funds will enable Empire Mining Corporation to advance project exploration and development with the aim of moving towards production.
· Nickel (Brazil): In May 2010 the Group agreed, subject to contract and due diligence, to pay to Horizonte Minerals PLC the sum of US$0.5 million in exchange for an option to acquire for US$12.5 million a 1.5% net smelter royalty on all revenue from the Araguaia nickel project in Brazil. Horizonte Minerals PLC acquired this nickel laterite project from Teck Resources Limited of Canada in exchange for a 50% equity stake in Horizonte Minerals PLC. The Group completed the purchase of this option on January 12, 2011.
These acquisitions have broadened and diversified the Group's portfolio of royalties, both by commodity and geographically.
Financial review
Group royalty revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was £30.1 million compared to £20.3 million for the previous year. When this is combined with cash flows from royalty debentures during the year of £0.9 million (2009: £0.3 million) total royalty cash flow per share increased by 50% to 28.65p from 19.10p in 2009.
Realised gains on disposal of mining and exploration interests were £41.0 million (2009: £6.4 million). These substantial gains were the result of the disposal in active junior mining markets of some of the Group's successful mining investments where the acquisition of royalties was unlikely. Overall the Group's profit before tax for the year increased by 154% to £65.8 million (2009: £25.9 million) and Group earnings per share for the year increased by 173% to 51.99p (2009: 19.07p).
At December 31, 2010 the Group's Australian coal royalty interests have been independently valued at £177.1 million (2009: £149.9 million). The Group's royalty instruments following fair value adjustments were valued at £28.1 million at December 31, 2010 (2009: £22.0 million). The change in valuation of the embedded derivatives associated with these royalty instruments of £0.8 million has been debited to Group profits (2009: £0.1 million credited).
The total cost of royalties treated as intangibles has increased to £42.1 million at December 31, 2010 (2009: £5.3 million). As part of the annual impairment review a directors' valuation of these royalties has been undertaken using a discounted cash flow valuation model which uses forecast commodity prices and management's best estimate of an appropriate discount rate taking into account project-specific risk factors. At December 31, 2010 the directors' valuation of these assets was £54.2 million (2009: £12.2 million).

The Group's quoted and unquoted equity investments, including royalty options, were valued at £128.5 million at December 31, 2010 (2009: £113.5 million). The private equity interests and royalty options remain accounted for at cost.
The Group's work on the Trefi and Panorama coal projects in British Columbia, Canada continues to be included in the accounts at cost, and the cost of property acquisition, tenure maintenance and deferred exploration totalled £2.0 million at December 31, 2010 (2009: £1.6 million).
At December 31, 2010 the Group had cash of £28.3 million compared to £14.2 million at December 31, 2009, with no borrowings or hedging. When combined with royalty and trade receivables, total cash and receivables at December 31, 2010 was £37.1 million (2009: £19.3 million). The Group has limited capital expenditure requirements other than for the acquisition of additional royalties. Management believe that the Group's current cash resources and future cash flows will be sufficient to cover the cost of general and administrative expenses, income taxes and dividend payments. The Group remains debt free and its liquid resources are held in a spread of currencies and financial institutions. The Group's mining interests and royalty revenues are mainly denominated in Australian and Canadian dollars.
The Group's total assets at December 31, 2010 were £415.6 million, a 33% increase from £312.5 million at December 31, 2009. This does not include any increase in value over cost that may be attributable to the Group's royalty intangibles or the Panorama and Trefi coal projects.
These balance sheet valuations together with the Group's record earnings represent an outstanding outcome for the year. Once again the Group's management of its balance sheet and its conservative approach to the evaluation of mining projects have produced strong results.
Equity interests
During the year the Group continued its strategy of taking equity stakes in strategic opportunities with the prospect of potential royalties. This has allowed the Group to develop a detailed understanding of project risks and form working relationships with management. Where royalties cease to be a financing option the Group will seek to dispose of the particular equity investment in a manner that is profitable to the Group, while minimising disruption to the investee company. This approach has proven extremely successful over the last five years with the Group realising significant gains for shareholders while generating numerous royalty opportunities. This remains an integral part of the Group's strategy.
Overseas listing
On July 9, 2010 the Group's ordinary shares were listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol APY. In the last few months the Board has been exploring ways of expanding the Canadian share register and increasing its reach within the North American investing community. The TSX listing increases the profile of the Group in a market where royalty financing is well established and has a high profile with investors.
Board developments
On October 6, 2010 Mr John Theobald was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Group replacing Mr Brian Wides who, on the same day, became Director of International Business Development.
Annual General Meeting
Investors are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting, which will be held at the Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, W1J 0BG, United Kingdom on Wednesday April 13, 2011 at 11.00 am. As in previous years the Board will present a review of the results for the past year and comment on current business activities.
Scrip dividend alternative
Subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, the Board proposes to pay the final dividend on July 6, 2011 to shareholders on the Group's share register at the close of business on May 6, 2011. The shares will be quoted ex dividend on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the TSX on May 4, 2011. As with previous dividends, depending on the share price at the time the Board will consider whether shareholders will be given the opportunity to elect to receive new shares instead of cash. Should this alternative be offered the price will be calculated on the basis of the average mid-market closing price of the ordinary shares for the five business days commencing May 4, 2011. The last date for elections under such an alternative, if offered, will be June 17, 2011.
Outlook
Pricing mechanisms for most bulk commodities, including metallurgical coal, are moving from fixed annual contracts to more variable, shorter-term pricing arrangements. During the year spot coking coal prices were approximately US$200 per tonne.
Due to the floods in Queensland in January 2011 output at both the Kestrel and Crinum mines was disrupted and spot coking coal prices moved above US$300 per tonne. Neither mine was flooded but infrastructure road and rail links to and from the mines were affected. In the short term therefore disruption of production will have an impact on Group cash flows although, when full production resumes, the Group expects to benefit from the higher prices achieved for both coking and thermal coal. Some production still continues from the private ground at Crinum.
With recent strong mining equity markets, the raising of mining finance from conventional lenders or equity issues has become more accessible for junior mining companies. Despite this the Group continues to identify royalty opportunities.
With its cash resources, strong royalty revenues and pro-active management, the Group will continue to make the acquisition of new royalties its principal strategic focus.
Finally I would like to thank my Board colleagues and staff for their application and hard work in achieving these record results.

Preliminary Results 2010
NOTES
1. Earnings per ordinary share is calculated on the Group's profit after tax of £56,283,000 (2009: £20,631,000) and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year of 108,257,718 (2009: 108,189,719).
The diluted earnings per ordinary share is calculated on the Group's profit after tax of £56,283,000 (2009: £20,631,000) and 108,266,666 shares (2009: 108,209,561). The dilutive effect is due to options outstanding under the Company Share Option Plan at the year end.
2. The Group's management considers royalty cash flow per share to be a useful measure of the performance of the Group's assets. Changes in equity market conditions lead to annual fluctuations in gains on sale of mining and exploration interests, and while these gains can be significantly value accretive for shareholders, the Group's management focus remains on increasing the Group's cash flows from royalties. In addition, the classification of the Group's royalty instruments as repayable debentures results in cash flows which are classified as repayments until the principal and interest are repaid. As a result, the combination of royalty income and cash received from the debenture repayments during the year form the numerator for this metric. Both of these components are calculated before tax.
Royalty cash flow per share is calculated on the Group's royalty cash flow of £31,014,000 (2009: £20,669,000) and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year of 108,257,718 (2009: 108,189,719).
The diluted royalty cash flow per share is calculated on the Group's royalty cash flow of £31,014,000 (2009: £20,669,000) and 108,266,666 shares (2009: 108,209,561). The dilutive effect is due to options outstanding under the Company Share Option Plan at the year end.
Status of financial information
This preliminary announcement does not constitute the Group's full financial statements for 2010. This report is based on accounts which are in the process of being audited and will be approved by the Board and subsequently filed with the Registrar of Companies. Accordingly, the financial information for 2010 is unaudited and does not have the status of statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
Financial information for the year to December 31, 2009 has been extracted from the full financial statements prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of coal royalties, available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, as filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' report on the full financial statements for the year to December 31, 2009 was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) of the United Kingdom Companies Act 1985 (regarding adequacy of accounting records and returns), or under 237(3) (regarding provision of necessary information and explanations).
