Issue of Equity Placing for up to Â£1.16 million

    26 January 2006

Anglesey Mining plc - Placing for up to �1,160,000

Anglesey Mining plc has arranged to raise up to �1,160,000 before expenses by
way of a private placing of new ordinary shares at 12 pence per share. The
shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue. Application will
be made for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the main board
of the London Stock Exchange.

The funds from the placing will be applied towards work on feasibility studies
together with ongoing exploration and development work at the companys two
projects: the Parys Mountain base metal deposit in Anglesey and the Labrador
Iron Ore project in Canada.

At Parys Mountain, the company is updating the existing Project Plan and
Feasibility Study for the 6.5 million tonne copper-lead-zinc deposit at 10.3%
combined grades as well as carrying out exploratory drilling.

In Labrador the company is preparing a first phase feasibility report on 100
million tonnes of direct-shipping hematite iron ore where it holds an option to
enter into a 70% joint venture.  The target is to mine and ship 2 million tonnes
per annum of iron ore by 2008, increasing later to between 3 and 5 million
tonnes per annum.

The funds will also be applied to working capital, strategic developments and
general corporate purposes.

John Kearney, the companys chairman said The outlook for prices of base and
precious metals remains very positive. Parys Mountain is a project with a short
estimated time to production and we expect relatively short timescales for
production to emerge from the Labrador feasibility work. We are keen to drive
both these projects forward to a production decision as fast as possible and we
look forward to reporting the results from the feasibility work over the next
few months
