#AYM Anglesey Mining PLC – Parys Mountain Investment Case
Anglesey Mining plc (AIM: AYM), the UK-based mineral exploration and development company and the 100% owner of the Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au VMS project in Anglesey, North Wales, today outlines the investment case for Parys Mountain, the primary focus for Anglesey and one of the UK’s most advanced brownfield mine development opportunities.
Parys Mountain is not merely an exploration project; it has been built on decades of investment in geology, engineering, metallurgy, infrastructure and permitting. Under renewed leadership, the Company’s strategy is to build on those foundations, further reduce development risk and unlock the significant value already within the asset.
What defines Anglesey & Parys Mountain:
· An advanced, well-established asset – over 70km of drilling across 359 diamond drill holes supports a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource exceeding 16 million tonnes (1.3 Mt Measured, 4.0 Mt Indicated and 10.8 Mt Inferred) of copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold – one of the UK’s largest undeveloped polymetallic VMS deposits, open along strike and at depth, particularly within the Northern Copper Zone.
· Metallurgically de-risked – multiple testwork phases, including continuous pilot-plant operation on approximately 2,000 tonnes of Run-of-Mine (“ROM”) bulk sample, confirm that conventional differential flotation produces separate marketable copper, lead and zinc concentrates; modern technology offers further upside in recoveries and pre-concentration.
· Infrastructure already in place – a 300m deep production shaft, approximately 1km of underground development, road access, grid electricity, water supply and proximity to the deep-water Port of Holyhead materially reduce future capital requirements and execution risk.
· A recapitalised and restructured company in a stronger economic market – approximately £4 million debt eliminated over the past year and a complete refocus on Parys Mountain as the sole strategic asset. The Company has undertaken an internal review of the assumptions underpinning the 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”), which indicates that stronger commodity prices have the potential to improve project economics despite inflationary pressures.
· Strategically timed – the UK Government’s Critical Minerals Strategy (the “Strategy”), published in November 2025, identifies zinc as a UK Critical Mineral and copper as a Growth Mineral, while targeting 10% of the UK’s overall critical mineral demand to be met through domestic production by 2035. The Strategy specifically highlights copper-zinc exploration in Anglesey, while UK copper demand is forecast to almost double, reinforcing the strategic importance of secure domestic supplies
A Defined Resource with District-Scale Upside
Parys Mountain has been mined intermittently since the Early Bronze Age, with the key phase occurring in the 18th Century when it became Europe’s premier copper producer, a mine whose output was significant enough to influence the global copper price. Parys Mountain copper was used to clad the hulls of the Royal Navy to deter organic growth. Decades of diamond drilling have defined one of the country’s largest undeveloped polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits, delivering an exceptional dataset and a strong platform for future resource growth. The resulting JORC-compliant Mineral Resource exceeds 16 million tonnes and carries significant copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold.
The resource provides the foundation for mine development while leaving considerable exploration upside. Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, particularly within the Northern Copper Zone, offering clear opportunities to increase both the scale and confidence of the Mineral Resource. Importantly, Anglesey controls the key mineral rights and land required for the future development of Parys Mountain, together with additional leased ground covering known resource and prospective exploration targets. This gives the Company control not only of today’s Mineral Resource, but also significant potential for future resource growth and exploration success.
Advanced Metallurgical Understanding
Metallurgy is among the most significant technical risks in any polymetallic development project, and at Parys Mountain it has already been addressed extensively. Multiple phases of metallurgical testwork, including continuous operation of a pilot plant processing approximately 2,000 tonnes of ROM bulk sample, have demonstrated that Parys Mountain ores can be successfully processed using conventional differential flotation to produce separate copper, lead and zinc concentrates. The 2021 PEA was founded on this substantial body of metallurgical evidence.
More recent work has indicated the potential for further improvements in recoveries and in pre-concentration technologies. Modern processing technology therefore offers scope to improve on the performance achieved during the original testwork – value that has already been tested rather than value still to be discovered.
Existing Mine Infrastructure and Logistics
Parys Mountain already benefits from a 300m deep production shaft and approximately 1km of underground development – infrastructure that would cost many tens of millions of pounds and several years to recreate today and which significantly de-risks future development. Surface infrastructure is equally advanced: excellent road access, grid electricity, water supply and proximity to the deep-water Port of Holyhead provide the essential requirements for future mine development, substantially reducing both capital requirements and execution risk.
Improved Economics and a Simplified Balance Sheet
The Company has undertaken an internal review of the assumptions underpinning the 2021 PEA, which indicates that, despite increases in capital and operating costs, the current commodity price environment has the potential to improve the project’s economic outlook compared with that reflected in the 2021 PEA. The corporate position has been simplified in parallel. Over the past year, the Company has transformed its balance sheet, eliminating approximately £4 million of debt while refocusing entirely on advancing Parys Mountain as its sole strategic asset.
Jurisdiction, Leadership and Shareholder Support
The UK combines political stability, regulatory clarity and secure mineral tenure with an increasingly supportive government policy environment. The Strategy, published in November 2025 and backed by up to £50 million of initial funding, targets 10% of UK critical mineral demand to be met through domestic production and a further 20% through recycling by 2035, up from around 6% today, while also seeking to reduce reliance on any single overseas supplier to no more than 60% for each critical mineral. Within this framework, zinc is recognised as a UK Critical Mineral, reflecting its strategic importance to industrial supply chains, while copper is designated a Growth Mineral – a category created for minerals that, although not formally classified as critical, are considered essential to the UK’s future economic growth. UK copper demand is forecast to almost double by 2035, driven by electrification, grid investment and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) data-centre construction.
The Strategy expressly identifies copper and zinc exploration in Anglesey as one of the UK’s important mineral interests. That policy shift has been sharpened by the use of export controls elsewhere in critical mineral supply chains, which has moved security of supply from a commercial consideration to a question of national industrial resilience. New mine developments across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Cornwall, Devon, North Yorkshire, County Durham and North Wales are rebuilding the UK’s mining ecosystem – strengthening technical capability, regulatory experience, specialist supply chains and investor confidence.
The Company has assembled a refreshed Board and Executive team to fully dedicate to the advancement of Parys Mountain, including the recent appointment of James McFarlane as Principal Geologist, who brings extensive international experience across exploration, resource evaluation, mine development, operations, and project delivery, providing the technical and commercial capability required to unlock the value of Parys Mountain. The Company’s largest shareholder, Energold Minerals Inc., continues to provide long-term support, reflecting confidence in both the asset and the Company’s development strategy.
Commenting, Andrew Fulton, Anglesey’s Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Parys Mountain has been drilled, sunk, developed and, critically, metallurgically tested. Decades of investment have already answered the questions that many projects at this stage are still funding: we know the geology, we own the ground, we have a shaft and underground development in place. Our task now is to build on those foundations rather than start from them.
“With a simplified balance sheet, a single strategic focus, substantially higher metal prices than in 2021 and modern processing technology offering further recovery upside, we believe there is greater upside in Parys Mountain than the market currently recognises. Parys Mountain supplied the world with copper previously, and it can contribute to UK supply again: with the Government now targeting a step-change in domestic critical mineral production, the strategic case for Parys Mountain to develop, grow and discover has never been stronger.”

About Anglesey Mining plc:
Anglesey is advancing the UK’s largest polymetallic VMS project at the 100% owned Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au VMS deposit in North Wales.
#AYM Anglesey Mining PLC – Half yearly report for the six months to 30 September 2025
Chairman’s Statement and Management Report
During the half year period, we were pleased to publish a conceptual study of a high-density fluid hydro-power energy storage project at the mine.
The findings of the conceptual study led to the commencement of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) in the energy storage scheme and we have published the proposed operational methodology and revenue streams associated with the project in terms of both Long Duration Energy Storge (LDES) and how that might be the catalyst for the commencement of mining of the Parys Mountain VMS mineral deposits.
Our investigations show there is a positive business case for the energy project on a standalone basis, that the risks identified thus far can be reasonably overcome or mitigated. Elements of the energy storage project scope, for example: the de-watering and refitting of the Morris shaft for material and personnel hoisting, the dewatering of the workings emanating from the Morris shaft 280m below the surface, the upgrading of the power-line to site, the on-going environmental and social studies and the deployment of impact avoidance, mitigation and compensation strategies, are each synergistic with the first steps of establishing a modern underground mine on Parys Mountain.
It is an essential and clear intent of the energy project that Anglesey Mining retains all the optionality that it currently has for the construction and commissioning of an underground mine, and that the hydro energy pumped storage project should not detract from those options over the medium and long term.
In the period to the 30th September 2025, we unfortunately had to announce the termination of our management rights and obligations over Grangesberg Iron AB (GIAB). Under a shareholders’ agreement our 100% owned subsidiary, Angmag AB, and therefore Anglesey Mining, had management rights with the ability to appoint the majority of the Board of GIAB. The Agreement had an initial term of 10 years from 28 May 2014, extendable on a year-to-year basis, unless terminated on one year’s notice. On 28 May 2024, Eurmag AB, which holds the remaining 50.2% of GIAB, gave notice of termination of the Agreement.
As at 31 December 2024, GIAB had loans outstanding to its senior debt holder of approximately US$9.0 million. Despite the best efforts of the Company, revised terms and conditions for the senior debt could not be arrived at such that the Board of Anglesey Mining could then explore the raising of funds to facilitate a settlement of this debt and therefore management of GIAB reverted to Eurmag AB, GIAB’s 50.2% shareholder, with Anglesey retaining its 49.8% ownership interest.
Post the end of the half year period, on 5 December 2025 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding letter of intent with its largest shareholder and largest creditor Energold Minerals Inc. whereby Anglesey will eliminate approximately £4 million of debt in exchange for its interest in GIAB and holding of Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited, reducing total outstanding debt to approximately £100,000.
Energold has also provided immediate funding to Anglesey of £350,000 through the purchase of non-voting exchangeable warrants.
The Board believes that the restructuring of the Company’s balance sheet, in addition to the investment of fresh funds by Energold, will place the Company in a materially stronger position from which to pursue its primary objective of advancing Parys Mountain.
Finally, at the beginning of December 2025, we were delighted to welcome Brendan Cahill and Jim Williams to Anglesey’s board.

It has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the requirements of IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting (as adopted by the UK) and using the going concern basis. The directors are not aware of any events or circumstances which would make this inappropriate. It does not constitute financial statements within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and does not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 which is available on request from the company or may be viewed at www.angleseymining.co.uk/accounts.
The financial information contained in this report in respect of the year ended 31 March 2025 has been extracted from the report and financial statements for that year which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and was not qualified. The half-yearly results for the current and comparative periods have not been audited or reviewed by the company’s auditor.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. There are no new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are expected to have a material impact on the group’s results.
The group has not applied certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that have been issued but are not yet effective. They are either not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or they are not currently relevant for the group.
3. Risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties set out in the group’s annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 remain the same for this half-yearly period. They can be summarised as: development risks in respect of mineral properties, especially in respect of permitting and metal prices; liquidity risks during development; and foreign exchange risks. More information is to be found in the 2025 annual report – see note 1 above.
4. Statement of directors’ responsibilities
The directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
(a) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 Interim financial reporting (as adopted by the UK); and
(b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by the FCA’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules (4.2.7 R and 4.2.8 R).
This report and financial statements were approved by the board on 19 December 2025 and authorised for issue on behalf of the board by Andrew King, interim chairman and Rob Marsden, chief executive officer.
5. Activities
The group is engaged in mineral property development and currently has no turnover. There are no minority interests or exceptional items.
6. Earnings per share
The loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £0.3 million by 484 million – the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The comparative figures were a loss to 30 September 2024 of £0.3m divided by 442 million shares. However where there are losses the effect of outstanding share options is not dilutive.
7. Business and geographical segments
There are no trading revenues. The cost of all activities charged in the income statement relates to exploration and evaluation of mining properties. The group’s income statement and assets and liabilities are analysed as follows by geographical segments, which is the basis on which information is reported to the board.

8. Deferred tax
There is an unrecognised deferred tax asset of £1.6 million (31 March 2025 – £1.6m) which, in view of the group’s results, is not considered to be recoverable in the short term. There are also capital allowances, including mineral extraction allowances, of £14.5 million (unchanged from 31 March 2025) unclaimed and available. No deferred tax asset is recognised in the condensed financial statements.
9. Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs
Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs incurred by the group are carried in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at cost, less an impairment provision if appropriate. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the successful development and operation of the Parys Mountain project which is itself conditional on financing being available to fund such development. During the period activities were limited and no drilling took place.

#AYM Anglesey Mining – Publication of a Conceptual Study of a High-Density Fluid Hydro-Power Energy Storage Project
Anglesey Mining is pleased to publish today, in conjunction with this RNS, a conceptual study of a high-density fluid hydro-power energy storage project at Parys Mountain.
The findings of the conceptual study indicate that there is a positive business case for the project, that the risks identified thus far can be reasonably overcome or mitigated and that the project will advance the delivery of a producing underground polymetallic mine at Parys Mountain.
Background
Anglesey Mining is focused on delivering a polymetallic underground mine at Parys Mountain. To that end, Anglesey’s management are developing strategies to enable investment in the development of Parys Mountain to be incremental, so far as practicable, thus allowing risks to be mitigated in stages before considering options for the next step of development.
Exploring the deployment of RheEnergise’s innovative High-Density Hydro® (HD Hydro) energy storage technology at the Parys Mountain mine site, using the mothballed underground workings and the Morris shaft which was excavated in 1989, fits with the incremental development approach.
Elements of the energy storage project scope, for example: the de-watering and refitting of the Morris shaft for material and personnel hoisting, the dewatering of the workings emanating from the Morris shaft 280m below the surface, the upgrading of the power-line to site, the on-going environmental and social studies and the deployment of impact avoidance, mitigation and compensation strategies, are each synergistic with the first steps of establishing a modern underground mine on Parys Mountain.
It is an essential and clear intent of this project that Anglesey Mining retains all the optionality that it currently has for the construction and commissioning of an underground mine, and that the hydro energy pumped storage project should not detract from those options over the medium and long term.
The energy storage project will initially market its products, which are energy storage and electricity grid stability services, to third parties. In the future the Parys Mountain mine may be in a position enter a long term energy offtake contract for the powering of the mine and processing plant, at that time mutually beneficial commercial terms will be explored as the energy storage supply and off-take will be in close physical proximity.
Pre-feasibility study
Anglesey Mining and RheEnergise have elected to immediately commence a Pre-feasibility study (PFS), the first part of which will assess a range of deployment and sizing options, as described in the conceptual study.
A key aspect of this study stage is to identify third party funders for the project including reviewing the range of government incentives available for R&D renewable energy storage projects, highlighting the link to the primary supply of critical minerals for the UK and the creation of jobs and associated economic activity. The structure of how the project is owned, managed and funded is not fixed at this time, so that a bespoke structure can be arrived at that facilitates the third party funding, once identified.
Vision for the partnership between RheEnergise and Anglesey Mining.
From the early work done by RheEnergise and Anglesey Mining, it is clear that there are value enhancing options to be developed and explored through planning a non-caving method of underground mining, in combination with the deployment of high-density hydro energy storage.
- There is an increasing justification for the deployment of on-site energy storage facilities at many mining sites. A consistent and reliable (firm) power supply is generally required not only to ensure environmental, health and safety controls continue to be in place but also importantly for processing operations, because: firstly, re-starting machinery from an unexpected power outage is usually expensive, as it is hindered by having a high tonnage of in-plant inventory, and secondly there is a financial imperative to utilize the capacity of high-cost capital equipment.
- It is likely that firm power will become disproportionally more expensive if a greater share of energy generation onto the power grid is sourced from intermittent renewable technologies, such as wind and solar.
- This energy storage need is juxtaposed, at a typical mine site, with at least two physically unique advantages for deploying high-density hydro power storage: firstly, the core business of underground void creation, some portion of which may be re-purposed within the mining sequence as upper and lower fluid storage reservoirs and secondly, because the on-site processing facility normally generates waste fines in the form of tailings, which through an incremental process could be incorporated into the manufacturing of the high-density fluids required.
This high-density hydro power storage project, the first commercial deployment of RheEnergise’s innovative technology, proving it at technology readiness level 8, would facilitate the practical method by which the power necessary for the mine and processing plant comes from entirely renewable energy sources, both from new and existing suppliers, on the Isle of Anglesey.
Parys Mountain is the UK’s most advanced project for the primary mining of copper, lead, silver and zinc, which is on the Government’s critical minerals list.

#AYM Anglesey Mining PLC – Half-year Report
Chairman’s Statement and Management Report
During the half year period, we continued to progress our primary asset at the Parys Mountain Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au VMS deposit in Anglesey, North Wales.
We reported the assay results from the third and final hole in the Northern Copper Zone (NCZ) drilling program. NCZ003 intersected both broad zones of mineralisation and multiple higher-grade zones. All three holes in the program – NCZ001 NCZ002 and NCZ003 – delivered some exceptional high-grade copper intersections within broad thicknesses of mineralisation up to 100m wide. The results continue to support our view that the NCZ provides significant upside for the Parys Mountain project, over and above the 5 million tonne resource contribution included within the 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment.
An important project milestone was reached with the formal submission on 31 July 2024 of the Parys Mountain Mine Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report to the North Wales Minerals and Waste Planning Service as part of a formal EIA Scoping Opinion request. The Planning Service assesses mineral planning applications on behalf of the Isle of Anglesey County Council and other County Councils within the North Wales Region.
The Scoping Report forms part of the first stage in the EIA process and comes after almost two years of extensive studies and work by the Anglesey team on site. Cumulative expenditure on the EIA process in that timeframe is almost £300,000. The scoping report sets out the project’s perceived impacts, specifically identifying any crucial and significant impacts which will be assessed as part of the final EIA report, the compilation of which will require further environmental and ecological work. It should be noted that mining at Parys will be carried out by underground methods; there are no plans for an open pit or opencast mine extraction works.
Post period end, in October 2024, responses were received to the Scoping Report from each of the statutory and specialist consultees and subsequently in December a draft Scoping Opinion has become available. It was pleasing to note that the responses were broadly in line with our expectations. Formal feedback from the Planning Service is keenly awaited.
We were pleased to note that zinc has now been added to the UK Critical Minerals List, Anglesey considers the classification of zinc as a critical mineral to be a significant positive step for the importance of its Parys Mountain resource which includes over 200,000 tonnes of contained zinc.
On governance matters, we were delighted to appoint Rob Marsden as our new CEO and to the board of Anglesey Mining in May 2024 and we welcome the technical, financial and practical experience he brings to our activities as we seek to progress Parys and optimise the iron ore investments. We were also pleased to announce the appointment of Doug Hall as a non-executive director in December 2024 and we look forward to his contributions going forward. In other board changes we were sorry to accept the resignations of Namrata Verma and Jo Battershill in September and December, respectively, but wish them both well in their future endeavours.
Financial
The group had no revenue for the period. The loss for the six months to 30 September 2024 was £311,052 (2023 comparative period £604,787) and expenditure on the mineral properties in the period was £125,479 compared to £174,748 in the same period in 2023. This reduction was primarily due to the reduction in Parys Mountain drilling activity. We also completed two equity placings in the period, raising approximately £635,000, with the proceeds going to support ongoing developmental work and for general working capital purposes.
Net current assets as at 30 September 2024 were £63,149 compared to net current liabilities of £135,745 at 31 March 2024.
Outlook
Management continues to seek to advance the company’s two key assets. At Parys Mountain the main activity will be progressing the Planning Application, guided by the EIA Scoping Opinion when formally received. At Grängesberg, we will continue to explore options to advance the project as well as devising proposals to optimise the ownership structure and value of Grängesberg Iron AB. As always, the company’s activities are predicated upon raising funding which, notwithstanding the equity issuances completed during the reporting period, remains extremely challenging in the current market. In this context, we continue to actively explore initiatives with a view to supporting the cash position.
In closing, on behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support, and to confirm that I remain confident that the assets held by Anglesey Mining will deliver significant value as they continue to be progressed over the next year.

Notes to the accounts
1. Basis of preparation
This half-yearly financial report comprises the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the group for the six months ended 30 September 2024. It has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the requirements of IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting (as adopted by the UK) and using the going concern basis. The directors are not aware of any events or circumstances which would make this inappropriate. It does not constitute financial statements within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and does not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 which is available on request from the company or may be viewed at www.angleseymining.co.uk/accounts.
The financial information contained in this report in respect of the year ended 31 March 2024 has been extracted from the report and financial statements for that year which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and was not qualified. The half-yearly results for the current and comparative periods have not been audited or reviewed by the company’s auditor.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. There are no new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are expected to have a material impact on the group’s results.
The group has not applied certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that have been issued but are not yet effective. They are either not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements or they are not currently relevant for the group.
3. Risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties set out in the group’s annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 remain the same for this half-yearly period. They can be summarised as: development risks in respect of mineral properties, especially in respect of permitting and metal prices; liquidity risks during development; and foreign exchange risks. More information is to be found in the 2024 annual report – see note 1 above.
4. Statement of directors’ responsibilities
The directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
(a) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 Interim financial reporting (as adopted by the UK); and
(b) the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by the FCA’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules (4.2.7 R and 4.2.8 R).
This report and financial statements were approved by the board on 19 December 2024 and authorised for issue on behalf of the board by Andrew King, interim chairman and Rob Marsden, chief executive officer.
5. Activities
The group is engaged in mineral property development and currently has no turnover. There are no minority interests or exceptional items.
6. Earnings per share
The loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £0.3 million by 442 million – the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The comparative figures were a loss to 30 September 2023 of £0.6m divided by 406 million shares. However where there are losses the effect of outstanding share options is not dilutive.
7. Business and geographical segments
There are no trading revenues. The cost of all activities charged in the income statement relates to exploration and evaluation of mining properties.

8. Deferred tax
There is an unrecognised deferred tax asset of £1.6 million (31 March 2024 – £1.6m) which, in view of the group’s results, is not considered to be recoverable in the short term. There are also capital allowances, including mineral extraction allowances, of £14.4 million (unchanged from 31 March 2024) unclaimed and available. No deferred tax asset is recognised in the condensed financial statements.
9. Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs
Mineral property exploration and evaluation costs incurred by the group are carried in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at cost, less an impairment provision if appropriate. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the successful development and operation of the Parys Mountain project which is itself conditional on finance being available to fund such development. During the period activities were limited and in particular no drilling was taking place so the expenditure of £125,479 was significantly less than in the six months to 30 September 2023 when expenditures totalled £679,475. There have been no indicators of impairment during the period.

As at 29 November 2024 the share price was 6 US cents per share.

#AYM Anglesey Mining PLC – Fundraise to raise £220,000
Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), the UK minerals development company, is pleased to announce that as follow up to the placing and subscription announced on 28 June 2024, the Company has raised £220,000 (before expenses) by way of a direct subscription of 22,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 1pence per share (the “Subscription Shares”).
Fundraising Highlights
- Subscription to raise approximately £220,000 (before expenses).
- Issue Price of 1 pence per share
Reasons for the Fundraising
In line with the objectives outlined in the fundraising announced in June 2024, the Company has undertaken this Fundraise and its previous fundraise to progress its corporate and operational strategy and the net proceeds will therefore be applied towards:
- Developmental work at Parys Mountain
- Advancing development options at Grängesberg Iron Ore Mine
- Debt repayment; and
- General working capital purposes
The Company is advancing a number of initiatives with a view to supporting its cash position, however if these are not successful the Company will need to raise further funds towards the end of the calendar year to continue to progress its activities.
The Subscription is conditional only on Admission.
Admission
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on AIM (“Admission”). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Subscription Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 30 September 2024.
The Subscription Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in issue will be 483,593,017 with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company’s share capital pursuant to (i) the Company’s Articles, (ii) the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and/or (iii) the AIM Rules for Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange plc as amended from time to time.
