(“Anglesey”
or “the Company”)
Information
received from statutory and specialist consultees regarding
the
Parys
Mountain Mine
Environmental
Impact Assessment Scoping Report
Further to
the Company’s announcement on 16 August
2024, Anglesey Mining plc (AIM:AYM), is pleased to announce
that it has recently received reports from statutory and specialist
consultees in response to the Parys Mountain Mine Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report. The Company is pleased to
note that the responses received are broadly in line with the
company’s expectations.
The
responses from the statutory consultees will be taken into account
by the North Wales Minerals and Waste Planning Service, who assess
mineral planning applications on behalf of the Isle of Anglesey
County Council, for the purposes of their formal Scoping Opinion
which the Company expects to be released in due course.
As
previously noted, the Anglesey Mining team are committed to close
collaboration with stakeholders, communities, industry and supply
chain, particularly around minimising potential environmental
impacts and maximising economic development opportunities for local
communities.

Scoping Report and appendices can be accessed and downloaded from

please send your comments directly to the North Wales Minerals and
Waste Planning Service.
In the
meantime, if you wish to provide comments regarding the proposal to
the Anglesey Mining Team directly, please address them to

Rob Marsden, CEO of Anglesey Mining,
commented:
“We
encourage stakeholders to comment and ask questions, so that a
highly considered EIA submission can be made. [We also welcome the
opportunity to engage constructively with the North Wales Minerals
and Waste Planning Service as it progresses with the Scoping
Opinion.] The objective of Anglesey Mining is to make a planning
application, that when enacted, will be seen to provide economic
returns to investors, job opportunities, mitigation of the impacts
to the environment and enhanced respect for, and appreciation of,
the mining heritage of Parys Mountain, thus earning us a social
licence to operate.”
