Interim Results

Anglesey Mining plc Interim Report 30 September 2002 Since publication of the annual report in August metal prices have remained low and the company has continued to minimize its activities in order to conserve its funds. Expenses during the period have been kept to a bare minimum and work on the development of Parys Mountain as a base metal mine was very limited. Other possible opportunities at Parys are receiving attention. The financial results for the period show a loss of £68,773 compared to a loss of £51,116 in the same period last year. The increase is attributable to last year's figures being somewhat below normal and to higher administration and share quotation expenses being incurred this year. The outlook for base metal mining remains poor. Chinese production continues to influence the market, China now being the world's largest producer of zinc. It is to be hoped that the recent admission of China to the World Trade Organisation will result in higher local consumption and better safety standards in Chinese mines both of which may have positive effects on the metal price. In June 2002 a new working capital agreement was concluded with Juno Limited, the company's largest shareholder, in order to provide funding for the company's routine expenses. Negotiations continued with the lessor of the eastern part of the Parys Mountain property with regard to the settlement of outstanding rent and a reduction of the ongoing rent payable; no conclusion has yet been reached. Recently the company opened discussions with Intermine Limited, the holder of a 4% net profits royalty on base metal production, in an effort to seek alternatives to advance payments due until production commences and on the settlement of outstanding amounts payable. The company has an important geological resource of 6.5 million tonnes at Parys Mountain which has been identified and described in independent geological reports. This resource is beyond and separate from the old workings and has a combined average grade for zinc, copper and lead of over 10%. There are also estimated to be 60,000 ounces of gold and 250 tonnes (8 million ounces) of silver in this resource. Parys Mountain will continue to be held, awaiting development in accordance the 1990 feasibility study, until metal prices improve. Further exploration in planned at Parys Mountain with the objective of developing a significantly larger deposit which should support a higher production rate. A larger deposit would be economic at lower metal prices and would also result in a longer mine life than anticipated in the feasibility study. A drilling programme would form a major part of such exploration. New financing is essential for the company's planned exploration and other programmes.
