Results for 6 months ended 30 June 2011

Viridas is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2011.

Financial results

The group operating loss for the half year ended 30 June 2011 amounted to GBP308,810 (30 June 2010: GBP294,612). A retained loss GBP308,810 (30 June 2010: GBP294,612) has been transferred to reserves. Net assets as at 30 June 2011 stood at GBP690,614 (30 June 2010: GBP185,392).

Operational review and outlook

During the six months to 30 June 2011, the Company completed its financial restructuring as set out in the Chairman's statement dated 23 June 2011 and changed its investment strategy. Going forward, overheads have been reduced significantly and the Company has also raised an additional GBP500,000 during July 2011 in order to strengthen its balance sheet and to ensure that it is well placed to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.

A number of investment opportunities have been reviewed during this period and work is continuing on a small number of these. In particular, these include an interesting manganese opportunity in Southern Africa - manganese is relatively easy to mine and is a key component in the production of steel. A gold asset in Chile in an area that is well known for both gold and copper and a copper/gold property in Spain in an area where there are existing mining operations.

The Company is very much focused on creating value for shareholders and looks forward to announcing the progress of its strategy in due course.
