("MAFL" or "the Company")
Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2016
Mineral & Financial Investments Limited today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
-- TH Crestgate completes on option for sale of Spanish zinc -- Improved performance of commodity portfolio -- Further acquisitions under consideration -- Continued disposal of legacy assets
Chairman's Statement
The Company realized a net profit of GBP209,000 during the six months to June 2016, as against a net loss of GBP137,000 booked during the corresponding period in 2015. 2016. On a per share basis, MAFL generated earnings of 1p per share, as against a loss per share of 1.5p for the corresponding period a year ago.
MAFL's NAV at the end of the period was 7.47 pence, up 14.8% sequentially from the first quarter of this year, when the NAV was 6.5 pence
Post the period end MAFL has also raised equity through the issuance of GBP475,000 of equity.
We are now essentially debt free, following the repayment of GBP159,000 of debt in the autumn of 2015. The board is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet.
We continue to monitor the few legacy investments your board inherited, and now believe that the remaining legacy investments in our portfolio are on steady footing and will be able to progress forward.
UK capital markets were thrown into a maelstrom of uncertainty due to the unexpected "Exit" Brexit vote. The most notable impact on Metals & Mining markets and MAFL is that the weaker British Pound has a buoyed upwards commodity prices in GBP.
Precious metals appear to have found their lows in the first few weeks of 2016. Base metals are a little more mixed - bulk commodities continue to be guided by currency movements, while long neglected commodities such as zinc and lead continue to find new believers in the strong fundamentals underpinning their supply/demand relationship.
Our 49% investment in TH Crestgate GmbH ("TH Crestgate") is beginning to bear fruit. TH Crestgate has successfully sold its Spanish subsidiary, GoldQuest Iberica S.L. (GQI) to Ferrum Crescent Limited ("Ferrum Crescent") for GBP342,500 in cash and 110 million shares of Ferrum Crescent worth GBP341,000 for a total of GBP683,500. The structure will allow MAFL to continue to benefit from the value being created in these assets by Ferrum Crescent, the strengthening of the supply demand outlook for zinc and lead and the very highly prospective geological features of Toral, the most advanced asset of GQI.
On behalf of the Board

Executive Chairman
Chief Investment Officer's Statement
Although it would be premature to trumpet a full recovery in the mining equity markets, there was some evidence of improvement in the sector during the first half of the year as the prices of many commodities came off multi-year lows and companies found markets increasingly open to fundraisings.
That in turn led to some improvement in valuations, although in terms of equities there is still much ground to be made up.
Accordingly the Company maintained a prudent approach to portfolio management during the period, and our investments remained predominantly weighted towards the commodity ETFs and the larger capitalized companies, in particular Glencore.
Our commodity ETFs performed well and we took profits on our zinc position, judging that the company's investment in TH Crestgate, which owns base metals assets in the Iberian peninsula, would allow us continued upside to this metal.
Instead we took a new position in silver and, after this booked useful gains, increased the size of this position.
At the same time we continued our work to solve the legacy issues left by the previous investment manager, most of which have now been resolved. The Company has now disposed of its residual stake in Milamber Holdings, and with the exception of the remaining stake in Sutherland Health is now exclusively focused on the resources sector.
Our biggest holding remains our investment in Cap Energy. MAFL has adopted a conservative approach to the valuation of this holding, which has been set at a near 40% discount to the price at which Cap raised money earlier in the year. MAFL's directors are mindful that this is an unquoted company and the oil markets have shown considerable volatility this year. However, the potential of Cap's West African acreage remains significant and so there remains considerable upside in this holding.
