UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015 
 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
I hereby present the interim results for the Company for the six months ended 
30 September 2015. 
 
The Company is an active investor in junior natural resources companies. The 
difficult market conditions for the commodities sector have continued during 
and post this interim stage. 
 
The Company made a total comprehensive loss of GBP394 for the period, compared to 
a loss of GBP360,266 for the same period last year. The Company will not be 
paying a dividend. 
 
Cash at bank as at 30 September 2015 was GBP13,603 (31 March 2015: GBP39,984). 
 
During the period, Elephant Oil Limited an oil exploration company with a focus 
on West Africa raised further capital at 25.3p per share from AIM-traded Red 
Rock Resources plc and in turn subscribed for some equity in Red Rock. We hold 
1,977,272 ordinary shares in Elephant Oil. 
 
Taoudeni Resources Limited, of which we are co-founder, acquired the Asheba 
gold exploration project from AIM-traded Hummingbird Resources ("HUM") on 30 
June 2015. HUM had previously acquired the Asheba Project from Gold Fields as 
part of the acquisition of their Yanfolila Gold Project. Based on historical 
estimates from Gold Fields, Asheba has an estimated gold inventory of 176,000oz 
gold @ 1.8g/t. Taoudeni is focused on exploration in West Africa on the world 
class Birimian Belts in Ghana (gold) and the highly prospective Taoudeni Basin 
in Mauritania (copper). Taoudeni has a lean, cost effective corporate 
structure, an experienced management team encompassing strong technical and 
capital markets experience and is building a strong portfolio with near term 
value triggers.  Taoudeni focuses on projects with a high degree of geological 
prospectivity that can be explored in a cost effective manner to rapidly build 
value for shareholders and partners with potential for realisation. 
 
Following the period end, Upland Resources Limited in which we hold 3.86million 
shares was admitted to the main market by way of a Standard Listing. They are 
trading at a 25% premium to our entry level.
