About this update from Anglesey Mining Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n 3 May 2006 LSE: AYM\n\n\nAnglesey Mining plc\n\nDrilling Recommences at Garth Daniel\n\nAnglesey Mining plc is pleased to report that diamond drilling has recommenced\non the Garth Daniel area at the Parys Mountain copper-zinc-lead project in\nAnglesey, North Wales.\n\nThe new programme is based on the interpretation of earlier drilling, including\nthat carried out during the 2005 programme which was reported on in March this\nyear. Garth Daniel has been identified as an area of significant new potential\nand the company's geologists believe that it could extend over a strike length of\nat least 1.5 kilometres. New resources identified at Garth Daniel will be\nadditional to the 6.5 million tonnes previously reported by the company - see\nrelease dated 22 March 2006 for further details of the Garth Daniel area and\ndrilling there to date.\n\nThe first hole in the new programme will test the western extension of the Garth\nDaniel area. This hole is offset both along strike and dip from hole AMC 17 that\nwas completed earlier this year. This new hole will be approximately 600 metres\ndeep and will test the entire volcanic sequence down through to the underlying\nshales.\n\nLike earlier holes in the area, this hole is targeting the three main ore\nbearing horizons identified at Garth Daniel. In depth order these are the\nCarreg-y-doll, the North Central Zone and the Engine Zone.\n\nImportant intersections in the Garth Daniel area reported previously include 5.5\nmetres at 22% combined copper-zinc-lead, and 2.5 metres in excess of 40% copper-\nzinc-lead both in the Engine Zone. Additionally very wide intersections of\nlower grade material have been reported in the shallower Carreg-y-doll zone.\nThe North Central Zone continues to be of great interest with very encouraging\nintersections also previously reported.\n\nIt is expected that the current hole will take up to six weeks to reach its\ntarget depth. The company will log the core on a continuous basis and will send\nmineralised intersections for assay as they are identified.\n\nAdditional holes are planned for the Garth Daniel area as part of the current\nprogramme and these will be guided by the results from the current drilling.\n\n\nFor further details:\n\nIan Cuthbertson, Finance Director + (44) 1248 361333\nBill Hooley, Executive Director + (44) 1492 541981\nJohn F.
