Multi Metal Mining in Wales And Other Global Assets With Jo Battershill - a podcast by Rob Tyson

from 2022-04-06T23:00

:: ::

In this episode, we chat to Jo Battershill, MD, and CEO of Anglesey Mining - a UK mining listed company that is listed on the LSE (and soon to be AIM). It has interests in Wales, Sweden, and Canada. The main property is their Parys Mountain project in Wales. It hosts a significant polymetallic zinc, copper, lead, silver, and gold deposit.


Jo has a mining geology background but has also worked in finance and has a well-rounded career and more recently worked in a non-executive capacity for a few mining entities. Jo tells us all about their historical Parys Mountain project in Wales.


 


KEY TAKEAWAYS



  • The mine on Anglesey was established in 1988, but when the zinc price plummeted development stalled.

  • The most recent analysis shows that this is now primarily a copper asset. Between 40 and 45%.

  • Zinc represents circa 35% of the deposit. With silver, lead, and gold making up the rest.

  • The site can be mined using a very small footprint.

  • The local community is immensely proud of the mine and their heritage and are supportive.

  • They are planning to extract between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes per year.

  • Resources are sitting in 4 bands from just beneath the surface to a depth of about 600 metres.

  • The Grangesberg iron ore site in Sweden is a strategic asset.

  • What Sweden is doing with zero carbon steel production is amazing.

  • In April, Anglesey Mining will be on AIM.




BEST MOMENTS


‘The project never failed for technical reasons. It´s failed because of market timing. ´


‘I think it’s actually harder to permit a new operation than it is to find one.’


‘It’s really part of the heritage of the town and people are genuinely supportive.’
