Interim Results
Xtract Resources Plc (AIM: XTR), the gold and copper mining and development company with projects in South America and Mozambique, announces an update of operations and projects and its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
Financial
-- Revenue of GBP0.29m (H1 15: GBP0.12m) -- Net loss of GBP5.24m (H1 15: GBP0.81m) -- Operating expenses GBP1.48m (H1 15: GBP0.93m) -- Cash of GBP0.94m (FY15: GBP3.76m) -- Net assets of GBP5.41m (FY 15: GBP7.55m)
Operational & Corporate Highlights
-- Received final approval from the Mozambican mining authorities to complete the acquisition of 100% of the Manica gold project in Mozambique from Auroch Minerals NL
-- Independent technical report completed on the mineral resources of the Fair Bride gold deposit at the 3990 Mining Concession in Mozambique which confirmed that the resource has increased by 36% to 1.257Moz at a cut-off of 1g/t
-- Conditional sale and purchase agreement entered into to sell the Manica gold project in Mozambique for a cash consideration of US$17.5m. In September the agreement lapsed due to certain precedent not being met
-- A further US$1.65m drawn down during H1 2016 on the Company's existing facility with YA Global Master SPV Ltd
-- Chepica operation granted permission during February 2016 to restart after the December 2015 dual fatalities experienced at the mine
-- The Board elected not to proceed with the O'Kiep and Carolusberg tailings after concluding that the recoveries were too low to produce a viable copper concentrate
Post half year end
-- Colin Bird appointed as Executive Chairman of the Company
-- Agreement has been reached with Auroch Minerals NL regarding the US$2.5m deferred acquisition payment
-- Raised GBP1m through a placing and drew down a further GBP1.42m on its existing SEDA facility with YA Global Master SPV Ltd
-- After undertaking a review of the Chepica gold/copper mine the Company advised Minera Polar that it would cease to provide any further funding for the project
Colin Bird, Executive Chairman commented:
" The period under review saw positive developments at the Manica gold project in Mozambique whilst the Chepica gold/copper mine continued to be problematic. Post the period under review, the cash requirement for the Chepica mine continued against poor performance of both the underground mine and processing plant. The mixed ore grades and metal content challenged the process plant and a decision was taken to cease operations at the plant and optimise the crusher circuit and install a larger floatation capability. The underground mining continued to be problematical and re-entry attempts into the Chepica main mine were proving most difficult against very weak ground requiring a reappraisal of support techniques.
After complete review, the Company decided that it could not reasonably forecast quality earnings that were sustainable against the new money required to bring the project back on stream. Consequently, it was decided in September to relinquish our option and cease to send further funding to Minera Polar. The option agreement was previously entered into with Minera Polar and any outstanding debts remain debts of Minera Polar. As a result, the Company has recognised a net impairment charge of GBP2.34 million in the consolidated income.
The Board announced on 26 August 2016 that I would be appointed as Executive Chairman with immediate effect. This appointment was made to assist the executive management to review and make the necessary decisions to progress company making projects and defer or abandon projects which were unlikely to add any shareholder value or indeed threaten shareholder value.
On 13 September 2016, Mr. Jan Nelson the Chief Executive Officer, resigned with immediate effect and I assumed his responsibilities. We will seek to appoint a replacement for Mr. Nelson in due course.
The Company at the moment is focusing its efforts on the Manica project, where we believe good progress was made during the period. In March we announced that the final outstanding approval had been obtained and all conditions had been fulfilled in order to complete the acquisition of 100% of the Manica project from Auroch Minerals NL. The Company announced in May that it had reached agreement with Nexus Capital Limited ("Nexus") and Mineral Technologies International Limited ("MTI") to dispose of 100% of its interest in the Manica project for a cash consideration of US$17.5m, subject to certain conditions including further due diligence. Whilst the Board recognised the potential of the Manica project, following detailed consideration it concluded that the disposal of the Manica project at the time would be in the best interests of shareholders for a variety of reasons, including the potential achievement of an attractive return on investment and the removal of the associated funding requirement.
Following certain revisions to the terms of the proposed transaction, which have been notified, the Company announced that the agreement had lapsed due to certain conditions precedent not being met and will therefore not be effected.
The Company reached an agreement with Auroch regarding the U$2.5m deferred consideration whereby a payments of US$0.75 million and US$0.1 million respectively, were made to the Auroch during August and September 2016. A total of US$1.65 million remains outstanding and the Company is in further discussions to resolve the amounts due to Auroch.
The alluvial project is in the process of being reviewed and discussions are taking place which we expect will minimise the financial risk to Xtract whilst facilitating the operation of an alluvials project in conjunction with MTI Ventures. These discussions are progressing well and the Company anticipates that a satisfactory conclusion for both parties will be reached.
The Company is currently seeking to finalise the bankable feasibility study at Manica, which is we anticipate to be delivered no later than the end of November 2016, and is assessing its options in order to maximize the potential return for shareholders.
In July 2016, the Company completed a Placing of Ordinary Share from new investors, to raise GBP1 million (before expenses).
The Company drew down a further US$0.45 million from its loan facility with YA Global Master ("YAGM"). Following the Loan Facility draw-down, the balance stands at US$2.1 million with a further US$1.85 million available for draw-down.
In addition to the draw down form the loan facility, the Company drew down GBP0.67 million and GBP0.75 million respectively, from its existing SEDA with YAGM. A total of GBP0.20 million has been applied against the Company's existing loan.
The board is taking action to decrease the Company's overheads and good progress has been made to date.
By the end of November 2016 I hope to report that Xtract will have in place full ownership of a gold mining prospect with a high return bankable feasibility study in place."

Xtract Resources PLC
Notes to the interim financial information
For the six month period ended 30 June 2016
1. General information
Xtract Resources PLC ("Xtract") is a company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The Company's registered address is 4(th) Floor, 2 Cromwell Place, South Kensington, London SW7 2JE. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company invests and engages in the management, financing and development of early stage resource assets.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Xtract prepares its annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
The consolidated interim financial information for the period ended 30 June 2016 presented herein has been neither audited nor reviewed. The information for the period ended 31 December 2015 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 but has been derived from those accounts. The auditor's report on those accounts was not qualified and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 but did draw attention by way of emphasis to the material uncertainty around the going concern assumption. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The interim financial information is presented in pound sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (GBP'000) unless otherwise stated.
The interim consolidated financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 September 2016.
Going concern
The operations of the Group are currently financed through a combination of funds which the Company has raised from shareholders and amounts drawn from the loan facility with YAGM. An operating loss has been reported as the Group's assets did not generate significant revenues. During September 2016 the Company announced it would no longer continue operating its Chepica asset and therefore the Directors anticipate net operating cash outflows for the next twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.
In common with early producing companies, the Company raises finance for its activities in discrete tranches to finance its activities for limited periods only and further funding will be required from time to time to finance those activities.
The Directors have assessed the working capital requirements for the forthcoming twelve months and have undertaken the following assessment.
Upon reviewing those working capital requirements for the forthcoming twelve months, the directors consider that the Company is likely to require additional financial resources in the twelve-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements to enable the Company to fund its current operations and to meet its commitments. The Directors would then expect for the funds to be raised through a combination of project finance funding, the current SEDA backed loan note and further equity fund raising.
The Group's ability to continue its operations is a critical accounting assumption and as a result the directors have concluded that the uncertainty represents a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern and that, therefore, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Nevertheless, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate ability to raise resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate.
On this basis the Board believes that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Changes in accounting policy
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, except for the changes arising from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements detailed below.
There are no amendments or interpretations to accounting standards that would have a material impact on the financial statements.
3. Business segments
Segmental information
For management purposes, the Group has been organised into three operating divisions Investment and other, Mining Production and Mining development. These divisions have been the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information.
The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore as follows:
-- Investment and other - Corporate;
-- Mining Production
-- Mining Development

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies which are described in the Group's latest annual financial statements. Segment results represent the profit earned by each segment without allocation of the share of profits of associates, central administration costs including directors' salaries, investment revenue and finance costs, and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the Group's Board for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
4. Tax
At 30 June 2016 the Group has no deferred tax assets or liabilities.
5. Loss per share
