[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n Trading SymbolAIM: AYM 16 August 2024 Anglesey Mining plc(“Anglesey” or “the Company”) Submission of Parys Mountain Mine Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), is pleased to announce that it has reached an important project milestone with the formal submission on 31st July 2024 of the Parys Mountain Mine Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report to the North Wales Minerals and Waste Planning Service (the “Planning Service”) as part of a formal EIA Scoping Opinion request.

At this EIA scoping stage, the project description remains indicative and will be refined following ongoing mining engineering studies, economic analysis and discussions with neighbours, the wider community and other stakeholders. The mining at Parys will be carried out by underground methods; there are no plans for an open pit or opencast mine extraction works. The Scoping Opinion request will now be validated by the Planning Service and when that process is completed it will be placed on the Anglesey Council Planning Public Register.
