LIM - Annual General Meeting 
 
LIM Operations Update 
 
Anglesey's 15% owned associate Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (LIM) held 
its Annual Meeting of Shareholders in Toronto on September 18, 2013, and 
provided an operations update of its direct shipping iron ore mines and 
projects in the Schefferville area of the Labrador Trough, with the following 
highlights: 
 
LIM reported the completion of the Joint Venture Agreement with Tata Steel 
Minerals Canada for the exploration and development of LIM's Howse Deposit. 
 
For the fiscal second quarter ending September 30, 2013, LIM expects to report 
the sale of four iron ore shipments (Ships 3 - 6) totalling approximately 
700,000 wet metric tonnes ("wmt") of 62% Fe lump and sinter product. Three iron 
ore shipments were completed in July and August 2013 and the next shipment 
(Ship 6) is awaiting loading at the Port of Sept-Îles. 
 
LIM's four shipments during the quarter should benefit from more favourable 
iron ore market conditions, where the average iron ore price on the Platts 
Index has been above US$125 per tonne (CFR China 62% Fe). 
 
LIM's 2013 exploration program is budgeted at $8 million to drill approximately 
14,000 metres ("m") on a number of key projects including the Howse, Gill and 
Houston Deposits. 
 
Iron Ore Sales 
 
For the quarter ending September 30, 2013, LIM expects to report the sale of 
four iron ore shipments (Ships 3 - 6) totaling approximately 700,000 wet metric 
tonnes ("wmt") of 62% Fe lump and sinter products, outlined as follows: 
 
Ship 3, SamJohn Dream, departed the Port in mid-July carrying approximately 
186,500 wmt of sinter; 
 
Ship 4, Hydra Warrior, departed the Port in early August carrying approximately 
175,000 wmt (combined cargo of 128,000 tonnes of sinter and 47,000 tonnes of 
lump); 
 
Ship 5, Cape Althea, departed the Port at the end of August carrying 
approximately 175,000 wmt of sinter; and, 
 
Ship 6, Cape Northville, is currently docked at the Port awaiting loading with 
approximately 165,000 wmt of sinter. 
 
During the first quarter ended June 30, 2013, LIM completed its first two 
shipments of iron ore totaling approximately 351,500 wmt, which brings total 
shipments in 2013 to date to approximately 1,050,000 wmt. LIM is working to 
complete four more shipments during the balance of the year to achieve its 
target of 1.7 million tonnes of iron ore production in 2013. 
 
Exploration 
 
In addition to a $5 million Howse exploration program, LIM has budgeted $3 
million for exploration drilling mainly on the Gill and Houston Deposits. Gill 
is located less than one kilometre north of Silver Yards and is expected to 
provide ore feed to the process plant in future operating years. The Gill 
Deposit currently has a historic resource of 4.1 million tonnes at a grade of 
56% Fe (dry basis). 
 
Drilling will also be carried out on the Houston Deposits, which will test for 
potential extensions (Houston remains open along strike) and to collect further 
metallurgical information.
