Company Statement
Anglo Pacific Group PLC generates returns for shareholders by receiving royalties from coal mines in Australia operated by BHP and Rio Tinto. The strategy of the Group is to pay a substantial proportion of these royalties to shareholders as dividends, while reinvesting the balance in strategic listed and unlisted mineral exploration and production opportunities with a view to obtaining more royalties for shareholders.
The Board is resolved to continue its policy of pursuing other mining interests by adopting an active, merchant banking approach to each project to achieve better returns at reduced risk. Anglo Pacific Group PLC concentrates its activities in Australia, Canada and the USA.
Current Operations
The activities of Anglo Pacific Group PLC are summarised as follows:
Mineral Royalties
Coal
The Group, via its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Gordon Resources Limited, owns a royalty entitlement to the output from the Kestrel and Crinum underground mines in Queensland other than Crown areas.

Four Mile now has an inferred JORC resource of 61 million pounds of uranium grading 0.35% uranium oxide (U3O8), with a 3Mlb per annum operation set to commence early next 2010, as reported by Alliance Resources Ltd.
The Group also owns a number of royalties over various tenements in the Athabasca basin which are currently being explored by a number of listed and unlisted exploration companies.
