Anglo Pacific Group PLCAcquisition of Chromite Royalty from KWG Resources Inc.Anglo Pacific Group PLC (“Anglo Pacific”, the “Group”) (LSE: APF) (TSX: APY) is pleased to announce the purchase of 7207565 Canada Inc. from KWG Resources Inc.

Cliffs Natural Resources (“Cliffs”) is currently undertaking an environmental assessment for Black Thor as part of its project development plans, and once constructed anticipates the production of ore for both direct sale and integrated ferrochrome production. Cliffs has also announced a commitment to engage with First Nations communities affected by the development to ensure the creation of opportunities for enhanced social wellbeing and economic prospects for those communities.
Commenting on the acquisition, Peter Boycott, Chairman of Anglo Pacific, said:
“Anglo Pacific is pleased to have agreed the acquisition of another high quality royalty on a project in Canada being developed by an internationally recognised operator. The acquisition fits well with our strategy for growth and demonstrates strong synergies with our existing royalty portfolio which has a significant focus on steel making raw materials. The Group anticipates that the royalties from these chromite deposits, the largest known deposits of chromite ore in North America, will provide long term cash flows and continuing revenue growth for shareholders.”

Notes to editors:
Anglo Pacific Group PLC is a global natural resources royalties company. The strategy of the Group is to expand its mineral royalty interests in low-cost, long-life mining assets. The Group achieves this through both direct acquisition and investment in projects at the development and production stage. It is a continuing policy of the Group to pay a substantial proportion of these royalties to shareholders as dividends. The Ring of Fire has attracted a lot of attention in the Canadian market in recent years and a significant effort is being made to open this area to mining. At the unveiling of the Open Ontario Plan in March 2010, the Premier of Ontario described it as “the most promising mining opportunity in Canada in a century”, and went on further to say that “your government is fully committed to working with northerners, Aboriginal communities and mining partners to fully realize the Ring of Fire’s potential”.
