...have a mine with planning permission in Anglesey. They have been drilling this year after raising funds.
Things are starting to look encouraging after a long time in the doledrums.
LONDON (AFX) - Anglesey Mining PLC said drilling results from Parys Mountain
in North Wales are "highly encouraging", including an intersection grading 40
pct combined base metals and 886 grams per tonne of silver over 2.5 metres.
The company said the high grade intersections recorded in both zones in AMC
15 contain metal grades which are amongst the highest recorded at Parys
Mountain. Previous drilling had encountered quite a number of intersections with
a total metal content over 30 pct.
Chairman John Kearney said: "We have been waiting for results like this for
some years."
He said the high grade of the mineralisation, particularly of zinc and
copper, demonstrates the potential of the Parys Mountain property, confirms the
validity of the group's geological model and justifies its confidence in this
drilling programme.

Buy Anglesey Mining at 13.75p (Today's free tip - 12/11/09)
Argues Tom Winnifrith of t1ps.com
Anglesey Mining owns two company making assets
Its listed shares in one have a market value about the same as that of Anglesey!
So the other is valued at circa nil!
This is a fully listed asset backed play with
A strong management team
The shares are a buy at 13.75p with an initial target of 18p
Anglesey Mining (AYM) is a UK based company with a full London Stock Exchange Listing. This is one I have watched for a while now and it looks set for a prosperous return to form in the coming months. Its holdings in Labrador Iron Mines, the Canadian listed iron ore producer are worth little more than Anglesey's entire market cap. And Labrador shares look pretty cheap too. That leaves Anglesey's other assets - notably the Parys Mountain mine in Anglesey in for more or less nothing. I have followed this one for a while, met up with its very sensible and cautious FD earlier this week and now feel happy to suggest you buy at 13.75p a with an initial (low ball) target of 18p.
Assets
Anglesey's main asset is a 50% interest in Labrador Iron Mines Holdings - that is 18.6 million shares in the Toronto listed company. Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Limited (TSX: LIM) is focused on the development and production of eight direct-shipping iron ore deposits located across a 100km strike length in the Labrador Trough of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador near Schefferville, Quebec. The company's properties are part of the historic Schefferville area iron ore district from which over 150 million tonnes of iron ore was mined by the Iron Ore Company of Canada from 1954 to 1982.
LIM is on track to be the first to reactivate direct-shipping iron ore production in Labrador commencing in 2010. Labrador Iron plans to mine ore from within the Schefferville Project, which is located in Northwestern Labrador. This is in the heart of the Labrador Trough, home to most of Canada's iron ore production, which supplies 9% of the total world production. The IOCC mined ore at Scherfferville for 28 years from 1954 to 1982. What is of vital importance to Labrador and Anglesey is that the IOCC outlined the resource and established the infrastructure. Those tasks in themselves would cost today around C$1 billion. The extensive infrastructure in place includes power, airport, roads, 564 kilometres of rail and a deep sea port. LIM is fully funded to bring itself into production.
Anglesey also owns 100% of the Parys Mountain zinc-copper-lead deposit in North Wales. The property is on the island of Anglesey and has been worked for copper since prehistoric times and during the 18th and 19th century it was the largest copper mine in the world. It has a resource of 7.76 million tonnes with life of the mine contributions to revenue of zinc at 30%, copper 44% and lead 18%. The project currently has planning permission, two years to production from completion of financing. The company believes there is excellent exploration potential over an area of several kilometres and work, way back in 1991 resulted in a positive independent feasibility study for a 1,000 tonne per day mine and the area enjoys strong local community and government support. With commodity prices depressed towards the end of 2008, the Parys deposit was placed on a care and maintenance basis, after nearly being sold in mid 2008 to Western Metals of Perth for just over AUS$29 million. It is not clear what the company plans to do with the deposit in the short term but with commodities coming back it has the potential for either a joint venture exercise or a sale of the asset. The project would cost $30 million to bring into production.
*The value of investments can go down as well as up. Past performance is no guarantee of future success. Investing in equities can lose you part or all of your capital. The tips given here are of necessity, general. They cannot relate to the individual circumstances of investors. Anyone considering following the recommendations contained here should seek independent advice. Investments in smaller company shares, by their nature, can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares.
Valuation
In 2011, as Labrador has its first full year of production, researcher Edison predicts earnings per share for Anglesey of 5.8p, rising to 7.6p the following year. However, development plans for the explorer's other projects: the North Wales-based Parys Mountain copper-lead-zinc project and its exploration property at Dolaucothi in south Wales, are still on the backburner. Options for Parys will only be considered in the event of a sustained recovery in base metal prices, however the firm has reported "some interest" in its exploration property in Dolaucothi, South Wales, in light of the strong gold price. The company has minimal cash costs, and although it has little cash it could easily raise some through the sale of some of its Labrador holdings.
As it stands Labrador shares are trading at CAN$1.89 on the TSX, valuing the company at CAN$72.06 million. At the current exchange rate of GBP1:CAN$1.76 that values Anglesey's stake in the project at GBP20 million. Edison reckons that the shares could be worth up to CS$5 which would value The Anglesey stake at GBP54 million. Put another way, if Edison is half right, Anglesey could sell two thirds of its stake and then bring Parys Mountain onstream on its own.
So what is the company worth? Base case: LIM at the current market price + Parys Mountain at 30% of the most recent takeover offer (GBP6million) plus GBP1.5 million for the quote and South Wales gold play gives a sum of the parts value of GBP27.5 million or 18p per share. But were Edison's LIM target to be valid then that valuation jumps to 39p per share. That is the upside case. For now I initiate coverage with a suggestion that you buy at 13.75p with an initial target of 18p per share.

From t1ps (Thanks Ruudboy99)
"I have been requested to comment on Anglesey Mining (AYM) as a result of its share price having risen from an 11.75p t1p price at the end of October to currently sit at 29p; a gain of more than 146% in less than 3 months. I always endeavour to alert readers where a significant share price movement results in a change of stance since as Benjamin Graham reminds basically, price fluctuations have only one significant meaning for the true investor. They provide him with an opportunity to buy wisely when prices fall sharply and to sell wisely when they advance a great deal. At other times he will do better if he forgets about the stock market and pays attention to his dividend returns and to the operating results of his companies.
Although shares in Anglesey have advanced strongly a focus on the fundamentals suggests to me the current share price does not represent a wise selling level and although I dont typically comment on companies when the stance is unchanged and there is no news to update on, there are perhaps a couple of points of some value worth noting in respect of Anglesey Mining;
As per the t1p, Angleseys main asset remains its 18.6 million shares in (50% of) Canada-listed Labrador Iron Mines Holdings. Labrador shares have spiked from CAN$1.89 at the time of the t1p to a current C$6.88 which values Angleseys holding at C$127.97 million or 49p per each of Angleseys 152,858,051 shares in issue (at the current C$1:0.589 exchange rate). Anglesey also had 15.1 million share options outstanding at 31st March 2009 at an average exercise price of 9.75p. Subsequently 300,000 have been exercised but even diluting for the rest and taking no account of the cash that would be received gives 45p per Anglesey share.
Despite Labradors share price performance its shares still look to have further to run. Using an iron ore price of $62/t per 65%Fe for fines, with a 12% premium for lump, a Net Present Value, using a 10% discount rate, of C$449 million can be derived for Labrador. This equates to C$12.09 per share and 79p per diluted Anglesey share. Although there are downside risks various regulatory permits are still required before the targeted commencement of production for example there is also potential upside (e.g. economic recovery helping sale price achieved higher, potential of the mineral claims Labrador announced it had acquired last month). It should additionally be noted that the Schefferville area from which Labrador is looking to produce has a prolific mining history and that Canada can safely be considered mining-friendly which should reassure in terms of permitting.
Researcher Edison forecasts that Labrador will report earnings of C$44 million for the year ending 31st March 2012, meaning that on an earnings multiple the rating just a couple of years out is potentially low too and all of this is without even considering Angleseys own Parys Mountain base metals project in Wales. This is currently on care and maintenance but was the subject of an eventually aborted 13.75 million bid approach in 2008 and the company reported as recently as November that the project has been the subject of renewed interest from a number of companies which are being followed and encouraged. Overall, there thus looks to be some quite significant further upside potential remaining and thus, at 29p, my stance on Anglesey Mining remains strong hold. "

AYM up this am on the back of a 8.8% rise in LIM the parent company,ptobably due to the increase in iron ore and the new pricing structure? The Labador mine is dur to start 1st production in the summer,which should see a dramtic increase in the SP?

Anglesey Mining, which invests in mineral resources, advanced 1p to 36p after a Canadian miner in which it holds a 41 per cent stake revealed that an iron deposit that it owns contains much more ore than previously thought. The Labrador mine in Quebec is scheduled to start producing an estimated 50,000 tonnes of iron a year in the summer."

Anglesey Mining - SPECULATIVE BUY
12/04/2010 Robert Tyerman @ Growth Company Investor
Anglesey Mining expects 41%-owned Labrador Iron Mines (LIM) to boost annual production from an initial 650,000 tonnes to 2m tonnes next year. Fully-listed Anglesey, which has put its longstanding Parys Mountain poly-metallic project in North Wales on the back burner, stands to receive nearly 3m from Toronto-quoted LIMs recent 22.2m placing in Canada, which cut its stake from 50%. Entrepreneur John Kearney and chief executive Bill Hooley head both Anglesey and LIM, which they hope will boost annual production from its high-grade Houston deposit near the town of Schefferville to 3m tonnes in 2012 at a cost of little more than $48 a tonne, less than half the prices struck in recent contracts. Hooley maintains Angleseys proceeds from the LIM placing virtually cover the companys commitments to LIMs planned further exploration and insists Anglesey has no more money to raise. The other day, LIM increased its measured and indicated resource estimate 60% to almost 14.7m tonnes at a grade of 59.3% iron ore and Anglesey says that brings its own share, as measured in compliance with industry standards, to 25m tonnes plus an historical resource of 125m tonnes. Anglesey is seeking a joint venture partner to take Parys Mountain forward. Hooley says it will use cash raised through LIMs fundraising to explore zinc and other deposits around the world, though Africa and the former Soviet Union are not destinations of choice. Shares in Anglesey were market dogs for years on disappointment and impatience over Parys Mountain, but have perked up of late from a 12-month low of 4.13p to 37.5p. With iron ore prices surging, bulls argue that represents a 35% discount to its LIM stake alone. Investors comfortable with commodity risk should consider a punt.

Penny Sleuth have just sent this out on e-mail - might bring in a bit of interest.
Of course the resource play that RHPS is recommending is AFAICS a completely speculative punt with bugger-all backstop if things don't go perfectly to plan (BPC) and is a share he's been pushing for months now. Anyway...I'll stick with AYM thanks!
"Why junior miners can hardly believe their luck
22nd April 2010
Why the market thinks Angleseys 7m tonne Parys deposit is worthless
Signs that Angleseys market value could double
Dear Reader,
Commodity prices are booming again and thats great news for penny shares.
As I pointed out to readers of Red Hot Penny Shares back in January, this is a key year for many natural resource hopefuls. Its a great opportunity for investors to make some hefty gains.
Mining ventures that were started four or five years ago are now coming to fruition. The money has been raised, the commodity has been found and the mine has been built. These mining minnows have the product to sell which could turn them into next years big fish.
These miners can hardly believe their luck. Even in the middle of a global economy crisis, they are able to sell their new output at prices that are comparable or in some cases even better than those prevailing before the roof fell in on markets two years ago.
Take just two examples. The price of coal is some 40% above last years level. Spot prices for iron ore, meanwhile, are twice those quoted 12 months ago...
That is superb news for a host of penny share companies. Two that spring to mind are Waless last remaining coal producer Energybuild (ticker: EBG) and Anglesey Mining (ticker: AYM).
Energybuild shares have climbed by a massive 50% since January. Over at Anglesey the story is even more impressive. Since I first mentioned this one on 6 October last year, its up a staggering 282%. In fact, chief executive Bill Hooley has seen his companys share price rise nearly ten-fold over the last 12 months!
Why the market thinks Angleseys 7m tonne Parys deposit is worthless
If ever a share has proved the extraordinary power of penny shares Anglesey is it. Key to its success has been the rising price of iron ore and its 41% stake in Canadian iron ore miner Labrador Iron.
Labrador(LIM:CN) is quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange where at a price of $7.06 it is valued at C$306m. This gives a value of C$125m, or 80m, to Angleseys stake.
Given that this is some way above Angleseys London stock market value of 65m, this implies that its other mining interest, the Parys mountain deposit on the island of Anglesey, is worth less than nothing which I am sure it is not.
Parys is a seven million tonne resource of copper, lead and zinc first exploited by the Romans. But having seen repeated attempts to revive the mine fall flat, the City has become wary.
Anglesey is planning to bring in a partner to finance the resumption of production. But this has become a minor issue, as the stake in Labrador has become the driving force of Angleseys share price. Let me tell you a bit about this Canadian interest.
Labrador has a 150m tonne iron ore resource in Canadas premier iron ore belt, the Labrador trough to the north-east of Quebec. The company plans to start producing later this year, building up to an annual rate of six million tonnes.
This is a low-risk operation. This is partly thanks to the high quality of Labradors ore, but also because mining has been conducted here for over 50 years, so almost all the vital infrastructure has long been in place.
Because this is such a low-risk operation on the production side, the only big thing that Labrador (and by extension, Anglesey) needs to worry about is the price of iron ore. And to gauge this, we need to watch China.
Why Angleseys stock market value could be about to double
Canada s east coast is closer to Europe than the worlds biggest supplier of iron ore, Brazil. With this freight advantage, Hooley expects the majority of Labradors output to be taken to Rotterdam. But the global price is dependent upon China.
Thanks to its plan to shift tens of millions of rural dwellers into its gleaming new cities, China has an insatiable need for iron and steel. Three-quarters of sea-borne supplies end up here.
The questions now are whether China can sustain its extraordinary growth rate and how much it will be prepared to pay for supplies of iron ore.
While predicting a price of over $100 per tonne for iron ore in 2011 and 2012, analysts at Canaccord Adams warn of potential steel demand destruction as steel producers attempt to pass on substantially higher input prices during 2010.
They have assumed that the price will subside to a long-term equilibrium price of $61 per tonne by 2014.
Even on this basis, though, they have set a 12-month target price for Labrador of C$10.80, which takes the value of Angleseys stake to some 123m more than double todays stock market value.
So Bill Hooley is smiling. He is bringing new supplies of iron ore to the market just as the world is prepared to pay a handsome price. Other small miners now find themselves in a similar position. No wonder the junior mining sector is hot.
The next great penny share resource play
Anglesey is not a share Im recommending in Red Hot Penny Shares. This story has already taken off and I think there are more interesting ones with potentially bigger gains on offer.
If you own Anglesey shares and are making money, then congratulations. Youve seen the incredible power of penny share resource stocks."
