LIM - 33% increase in year-end mineral resource 
 
Stage 2 Mineral Resources Double to 40.6 Million Tonnes 
 
Anglesey Mining's 15% held associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (TSX: 
LIM) has today updated its NI 43-101 mineral resource as at its fiscal year-end 
March 31, 2013 for the Schefferville/Menihek direct shipping iron ore ("DSO") 
operations and projects located in Western Labrador and Quebec. 
 
  * At March 31, 2013, LIM's total measured and indicated mineral resource 
    (excluding stockpiles) was estimated at 59.5 million tonnes grading 56.7% 
    iron ("Fe"), a 33% increase from March 31, 2012. 
 
  * The measured and indicated resource for the Houston 1, 2 and 3 deposits 
    increased to 31.3 million tonnes grading 57.5% Fe, a 37% increase over 
    2012. 
 
  * A new measured and indicated mineral resource estimate was calculated for 
    the Malcolm-1 deposit, located adjacent to the Houston deposits, totalling 
    9.2 million tonnes grading 57.8% Fe. This represents a significant increase 
    over the historical estimate of 2.9 million tonnes grading 56.2% Fe1. 
 
  * Overall, the Stage 2 Houston and Malcolm deposits are estimated to contain 
    40.6 million tonnes of measured and indicated resource grading 57.6% Fe. 
 
  * The mineral resource for LIM's Stage 1 Silver Yards deposits decreased to 
    18.9 million tonnes grading 54.9% Fe, from 21.7 million tonnes grading 
    55.7% Fe in 2012, due to mine depletion and reconciliation at the 
    James Mine. 
 
  * An initial mineral resource was estimated for selected historical 
    stockpiles, totalling 3.5 million tonnes of indicated resource grading 
    49.1% Fe and 2.9 million tonnes of inferred resource grading 48.8% Fe. 
 
In addition to the NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates mentioned in this 
press release, a significant amount of historical resources have been defined 
on LIM's properties by the Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") during its 
historical operations in the area.
