Angel Mining, which is currently focused on building a successful mining operation in Greenland, cheered its investors with the news that as of July 31st it had sold 7,569 ounces of gold at an average price of 1,668 dollars per ounce since its first gold sale in August 2011. The firm is continuing to work towards its main project, the Black Angel zinc/lead mine, which it expects to become operational by 2014/15. The costs of this are expected to be met by gold sales. The firm said it expects to generate trading profits and to secure funding for the Black Angel project in the current year.
Beowulf Mining has reported significant high grades of iron mineralisation of up to 54.6% iron, encountered on the Kallak North deposit, including the highest average grade of iron mineralisation ever recorded for a section of analysed drill core from the Kallak North deposit to date.

No revenue was generated. Cash at the period end fell to £5.05m from £6.05m six months earlier.
