TULU KAPI FUNDING UPDATE

AND

INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

KEFI Minerals (AIM: KEFI), the gold exploration and development company with projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is pleased to provide an update on development funding and announces its unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 30 June 2015. The statement below encompasses the activities of the Company's subsidiary, KEFI Minerals (Ethiopia) Limited ("KME"), in Ethiopia and its joint venture, Gold & Minerals Limited ("G&M"), in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Update on Development Funding and Planned Government Participation

The Company is pleased to report that, based on the negotiations with the short-listed project contactors and financiers and with the Government of Ethiopia, the entire development funding for the Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia of c. $120 million is now expected to be covered at the project level. A key component is the intended participation by the Government of Ethiopia, by funding up to $20 million of infrastructure in exchange for an increased share of project equity. The full funding package is planned through a combination of debt, gold streaming and equity funding, with working capital requirements subject to further refinement which can only be finalised upon formalisation of the multi-party agreements and the approval thereof by the Government of Ethiopia.

Management is now focused on formally appointing and assembling, with finalised and complementary terms, the project syndicate comprising the contractors, debt financiers, gold streamer and the Government of Ethiopia. This includes the contractor for building the plant on a fixed-price basis and the contractor for the mining operation on a price-per-cubic-metre-delivered basis over the life of the open pit mine. KEFI will announce the members of the syndicate as appointments occur, commencing in the first half of October. With the Government of Ethiopia, KEFI is finalising the terms for its intended funding of infrastructure (the public road and electricity connection) and the associated increase in its share of project equity.

Harry Anagnostaras-Adams, Executive Chairman of KEFI Minerals, commented: "We are pleased to have achieved this major milestone and, in particular, we welcome the Government of Ethiopia's intention to increase its equity in the project. Along with the intended use of some gold stream finance, this materially reduces the level of debt to be introduced and makes the financial structure more conservative, which is appropriate for such volatile times in capital markets. We look forward to finalising terms with the emerging syndicate of parties and rapidly moving on to the next phase of development."

H1 2015 Summary

Tulu Kapi gold project, Ethiopia

(Wholly-owned by KEFI; Government entitled to 5% free carried interest)

-- Appointed Mr Wayne Nicoletto, in February, as Head of Operations of the Company and Managing Director of KME

-- In April, Mining Agreement ("MA") signed by the Company and Ethiopian Government, granting the 20-year Mining Licence and permitting development and operation

-- Reaffirmed that Tulu Kapi project is economically sound and warrants development upon independent confirmation of Ore Reserves (JORC 2012) 15.4Mt at 2.12g/t Au, containing 1.05Moz, having wireframed each individual ore lode as part of due diligence for project finance

-- Highlights of the Definitive Feasibility Study ("2015 DFS") completed in June 2015 included:

o Gold production remaining at 960,000oz over 13 years with an average of 75,000oz per year. Post period, the Company announced an increase in planned production to an average of c. 100,000oz per annum over a 10-year period. This was achieved by increasing the planned rate of ore processing, without change to the Mine Plan

o All-in Sustaining Costs remained at c. US$780/oz, which ranks the project in the lowest cost quartile globally for gold producers. This includes all operating costs, royalties, sustaining capital and closure, but excludes initial capital investment. Post period, this was adjusted to US$760/oz based on the terms of contractor bidding to that point

-- In June 2015, the gold mineralisation from the first trench sampling results from three prospects in adjacent exploration licences to the Tulu Kapi site demonstrated that these prospects could potentially provide satellite feed to the central processing plant at Tulu Kapi or be developed as standalone heap leach projects. This supplementary source of ore would complement that from the underground resources already reported and which are expected to be increased in due course

Gold & Minerals Ltd Joint Venture ("G&M"), Saudi Arabia

(40%-owned by the Company with KEFI as operator)

Jibal Qutman

   --      The Company completed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment, including: 

o An increase in the reported Mineral Resource (JORC 2012) to 28.4Mt at 0.80g/t Au for 733,045oz Au, at a cut-off grade of 0.2g/t Au

o Improved metallurgical test results indicating heap leach recovery of c. 70%

o Mining scoping study indicating potential open cut mineable resource of 6.6Mt at 0.95g/t Au, containing 201,600oz on oxide ore for heap leach processing

o Preliminary internal assessment by KEFI suggesting an estimated cash operating cost of US$600/oz on a 1.5Mt per annum open-pit operation with gold recovery via a heap leach process

Hawiah

-- Completed an initial 53-trench surface sampling programme over a 6km-long gossanous horizon and a geophysical survey over the southern half of the gossanous horizon

-- Exploration highlighted a large drilling target of 2,000m lateral and 300m vertical extent thought to overlie volcanically hosted massive sulphide (copper-gold-zinc) style of mineralisation

   --      KEFI intends to conduct initial drilling of this target during H2 2015 

Corporate

-- Completed GBP800,000 placing of 80,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 1p per share in March

-- Completed GBP660,000 placing of 66,610,600 ordinary shares at a price of 1p per share in May

-- Existing issued ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company were subdivided into one new Ordinary Share of 0.1p each ("New Ordinary Shares") and one deferred share of 0.9p each ("Deferred Shares")

-- In June 2015, completed GBP2,900,000 placing at 0.8p per share of 362,500,000 New Ordinary Shares of 0.1p per share

-- As referenced in Note 6 in the accounts below, based on Directors' formal review, the net present value of the Tulu Kapi asset significantly exceeded the book value at 30 June 2015

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

For the six months to 30 June 2014 and 2015 (unaudited) (All amounts in GBP thousands unless otherwise stated)

   1.   Incorporation and principal activities 

Country of incorporation

The Company was incorporated in United Kingdom as a public limited company on 24 October 2006. Its registered office is at 27/28 Eastcastle Street, London W1W 8DH.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group for the period are:

-- To explore for mineral deposits of precious and base metals and other minerals that appear capable of commercial exploitation, including topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies and exploratory drilling.

-- To evaluate mineral deposits determining the technical feasibility and commercial viability of development, including the determination of the volume and grade of the deposit, examination of extraction methods, infrastructure requirements and market and finance studies.

   --      To develop, operate mineral deposits and market the metals produced. 
   2.   Summary of significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently throughout the period presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation and consolidation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IFRS) including International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and using the historical cost convention.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ('the statements") are unaudited and include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. They have been prepared using accounting bases and policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014. These statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements, and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information set out in the Company's 31 December 2014 Annual Report. The accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

The Directors have formed a judgment at the time of approving the condensed interim consolidated financial statements that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends principally on the discovery of economically viable mineral deposits, obtaining the necessary mining licences and the availability of subsequent funding to extract the resource or alternatively the availability of funding to extend the Company's exploration activities. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that would arise from a failure to complete any of the above. Changes in future conditions could require write downs of the carrying values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and/or deferred tax.

Use and revision of accounting estimates

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the making of estimations and assumptions that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

   2.   Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

The Group has adopted all the new and revised IFRSs and International Accounting Standards (IAS) which are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2015. The adoption of these Standards did not have a material effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

At the date of authorisation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements some Standards were in issue but not yet effective. The Board of Directors expects that the adoption of these Standards in future periods will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

September 28, 2015 02:01 ET (06:01 GMT)

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are unchanged from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements.

   3.   Operating segments 

The Group has only one distinct operating segment, being that of mineral exploration. The Group's exploration activities are located in Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia through the jointly controlled entity and its administration and management is based in Cyprus.

Management performed an impairment review for the above intangible assets at 30 June 2015, which relate to development work at the Tulu Kapi license area, and assessing its economic feasibility. The net present value of the Tulu Kapi asset exceeded the book value at 30 June 2015 significantly.

The impairment review compared the recoverable amount of assets to the carrying value. The recoverable amount of an asset is assessed by reference to the higher of value in use ("VIU"), being the net present value ("NPV") of future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, and fair value less costs to dispose ("FVLCD"). The FVLCD is based on an estimate of the amount that the company may obtain in a sale transaction on an arms-length basis.
