Interim report - six months to 30 June 2018
Altyn Plc ("Altyn" or the "Company"), the gold mining and development company, announces its unaudited results for the six months to 30 June 2018.
Highlights:
Mine development
Hot Features
Premium
-- During the period the Company concentrated on the development of the
ore bodies, no further development has been undertaken on the decline
as there are currently sufficient access points to the ore bodies for
the current production plans.
-- Ore extracted from the underground mine increased in line with
projections to a high point of 38,000t a month in June 2018. The
average extraction was lower at approximately 25,000t due to planned
maintenance work reducing the ore extracted in March and April 2018.
-- Developmental work was carried out at the mine at 214 masl, in
relation to ore bodies 3-8 and at 185 masl in relation to ore body 11
giving access to 260,000 tons of ore for future production at an
average grade of 2.53g/t.
-- Exploration work at Karasuyskoye continued in line with the
development plans. Three sites within the contract licence area have
been identified as having potential for early development. The Company
has applied to the appropriate ministry for an addendum to the licence
to extract 10,000 tons of test production ore.
Production
-- Gold recovery is averaging 83.65%, in line with that achieved during
year end 31 December 2017, the expectation is that the recoveries will
continue at this level for the foreseeable future, until further
equipment is purchased.
-- H1 2018 gold production from Sekisovskoye was 8,461oz, compared with
H1 2017 of 7,327oz.
-- The actual milled ore was 182,000 tons (H1 2017 131,000 tons), in the
current period, (as last year), it included lower grade stockpiled ore
at 0.5g/t.
Financial
-- The turnover has increased to US$10.9m (H1 2017 US$9.2m), an increase
of 18%. The gold price achieved averaged US$1,322oz during the period
(Year 2017 US$1,293).
-- The Company made an operating profit of US$1.6m (H1 2017 loss -
US$109,000), with a net profit before taxation of US$603,000 (H1 2017
Loss US$1.2m). In part this was due to operational cost savings at
head office and at the mine site, the latter being due to labour cost
savings with in the transportation and production departments.
-- During the period bonds to the value of US$9.7m were converted into
equity shares in the company at a value of GBP0.03p per share.
-- The total cash cost of production was US$883oz (Year 2017 US$899oz).
-- EBITDA achieved was positive at US$3.6m (Year 2017 US$2.5m).
-- Cash flow from operating activities was positive at US$2.5m, (2017
US$1.6m) the Company has benefitted from the fact that it currently
has a low gearing, with lower financial loan commitments than in the
past.
-- Cash balances at 30 June 2018 were US$201,000 and are sufficient for
current operational requirements.
Fund raising
-- The expectation was that funding would be in place during H2 2018.
However there has been a delay in the ability of Freedom Finance to
provide funding to Altyn in the time frames required. The Company is
still continuing with its discussions with Freedom Finance, to obtain
the funding necessary but is also looking at other providers.
-- The Company is currently in active discussions with banks and other
providers in Kazakhstan. However the management want to ensure that
any future funding is on terms and conditions which are for the long
term benefit of shareholders and are trying to achieve the most
favourable terms possible. The Company will update shareholders as
plans progress.
Aidar Assaubayev, CEO of Altyn Plc commented:
The management are currently in active discussions with banks and other providers in Kazakhstan to raise the necessary funds required to fulfil its project plans. We are positive the necessary funding can be put in place as required for the project development but want to ensure that it is for the long term benefit of shareholders and on the most favourable terms possible with regards to the cost of financing.
The Company is cash generative at its current production levels and has rationalised operations in order to conserve the cash resources going forward.

Chief Executive Review
H1 2018 Review
Mine development
In Q2 2018, the Company has concentrated on developing the productive ore bodies. The decline was developed to horizon 150 Masl in 2017 and in the current period was not developed further due to the fact that sufficient ore bodies are accessible to extract ore.
The actual ore mined ranged from a low of 11,000 tons in March to a higher level of 38,000 tons in June 2018, resulting in an average tonnage over 6 months of 25,000 tons. The lower level of ore mined in March 2018 was due to scheduled maintenance at the mine site. The expected run rate each month is expected to move into the range of 30-35,000 tons each month going forward.
As already stated the significant ramp up in production is dependent on further capital investment. During the current period the Company is continuing to successfully develop the ore bodies with the available equipment and has developed ore bodies 3-8 and 11 for production in the next period.
The production over the past half year was mainly from the group of ore bodies 1,8,10 and in June from ore body 11 and was extracted from levels ranging from 242 Masl to 185 Masl. Due to the level of developmental ore included, the actual ore grade fluctuated from a high of 2.78 to a low of 1.53 resulting in a lower than expected grade from the ore mined of 1.96.
Karasuyskoye
In addition to the underground mine development the Company is continuing to develop its prospective site at Karasuyskoye.
The following has been completed so far Core drilling has been undertaken of 1,500 metres, air drilling of 5,500 linear metres, and the open pit has been excavated amounting to 5,500 cubic metres. Test production will be undertaken once the necessary permits have been obtained.
H1 2018 Operational Overview - Sekisovskoye
Underground mine H1 2018 H1 2017 Ore extracted tons 152,639 151,400 Gold grade g/t 1.96 2.14 Silver grade g/t 3.34 2.40 Mineral processing H1 2018 H1 2016 Milling tons 182,832 131,238 Gold grade g/t 1.72 2.06 Silver grade g/t 2.98 2.29 Gold recovery % 83.65% 81.76% Silver recovery % 74.29% 71.37% Gold produced ounces 8,461 7,327 Silver produced ounces 12,875 6,484
The Ore extracted is averaging at 25,000 tons a month, the difference between the ore extracted and the milling at an average of 30,000 tons a month is due to the use of lower grade stockpiled ore. The stockpiled ore has a grade of 0.5%, leading to a processed grade of 1.72 overall (2017 2.06).
The gold recovery is in line with that achieved in year ended 2017 and is currently expected to be maintained at this level going forward. The improvement in recoveries is expected once new capital is employed specifically the gravity concentration plant, the installation is dependent on future capital investment funds being made available.
The underground ore grade continues to be lower than that forecast as it contains a higher quantity of development ore being mined leading to a decrease in the gold grade, again the increase in grade is dependent on the deployment of additional mining equipment.
Moving forward
The Company's long term plan is to increase production by targeting the ore bodies in a more defined way, pushing the grade up, and at the same time increasing the volume of ore mined. The management have been working hard to in order to raise the necessary funds, however due to circumstances they have not been able to continue with the previous providers. As a result, they are now looking to fund the capital expenditure for the project from new sources of finance, and are in active discussions with banks in Kazakhstan, and will update shareholders as they progress. However the time lines in relation to a significant increase in production are expected to move as a result of the delays in obtaining the appropriate finance.
The Company will continue to improve the mine, developing the decline and ore bodies, with in the restrictions of the current available plant and capital available.
H1 2018 Financial Review
The Company has reported a gross profit of US$2.6m for H1 2018, against US$1.6m for H1 2017, with turnover of US$10.9m (H1 2017 US$9.2m).
Sekisovskoye produced 8,461oz of gold in H1 2018 (H1 2017:7,327oz). Gold sold during the period amounted to 8,235oz (H12017 7,437oz) at an average price of US$1,323/oz (H1 2017: US$1,237/oz). The average price of sales achieved includes revenues generated from silver sales in the period, which are treated as incidental to gold production.
The operating cash cost of production (cost of sales excluding depreciation and provisions) for the period was US$731/oz (Year 2017 US$661/oz). The total cash cost was US$883/oz as compared to US$899/oz in year ended 2017. Cost rationalisations were made in the early part of 2018 both at head office and at the mine site. At the mine site the transport department was outsourced and the maintenance department reduced which resulted in cost savings from the prior period.
As of 30 June 2018, the Company had cash balances of US$201,000. The Company currently has sufficient cash resources to operate at current production levels.
During the period the Company converted US$9.7m of the bond of US$10m owing to African Resources Limited into share capital, increasing their shareholding to 69.8%. In total there is approximately US$4.6m due in relation to the convertible bonds of which approximately US$2.6m is owed to African Resources Limited (including accrued interest), this amount is expected to be converted into share capital in H2 2018.

1. Basis of preparation
General
Altyn Plc is registered and domiciled in England and Wales, whose shares are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The interim financial results for the period ended 30 June 2018 are unaudited. The financial information contained within this report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
This interim financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared, in accordance with IAS34 ( interim financial statements) and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies set out in the Group's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. It has not been audited, does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. The 2017 annual report and accounts, as filed with the Registrar of Companies, received an unqualified opinion from the auditors.
The financial information is presented in US Dollars and has been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The same accounting policies, presentation and method of computation are followed in this consolidated financial information as were applied in the Group's latest annual financial statements except that in the current financial year, the Group has adopted a number of revised Standards and Interpretations. However, none of these have had a material impact on the Group.
In addition, the IASB has issued a number of IFRS and IFRIC amendments or interpretations since the last annual report was published. It is not expected that any of these will have a material impact on the Group.
Going concern
The current cash position is sufficient to cover ongoing operating and administrative expenditure for the next 12 months from the date these accounts were released.
The Directors consider that the cash generated from its operations from the Group's producing assets to be sufficient to cover the expenses of running the Group's business for the foreseeable future.
In terms of financing the underground development, the Company will not be incurring any substantial capital expenditure until further capital funds are raised under terms acceptable to the Company.
The Company has therefore adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.
ALTYN PLC
Notes to the consolidated financial information (continued)
Directors Responsibility Statement and Report on Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Responsibility statement
The Board confirms to the best of their knowledge:
The condensed set of financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU;
The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosures and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during the period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could do so.
The Company's management has analysed the risks and uncertainties and has in place control systems that monitor daily the performance of the business via key performance indicators. Certain factors are beyond the control of the Company such as the fluctuations in the price of gold and possible political upheaval. However, the Company is aware of these factors and tries to mitigate these as far as possible. In relation to the gold price the Company is pushing to achieve a lower cost base in order to minimise possible downward pressure of gold prices on profitability. In addition, it maintains close relationships with the Kazakhstan authorities in order to minimise bureaucratic delays and problems.
Risks and uncertainties identified by the Company are set out on page 8 and 9 of the 2017 Annual Report and Accounts and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. There have been no significant changes in the first half of 2018 to the principal risks and uncertainties as set out in the 2017 Annual Report and Accounts and these are as follows:
-- Fiscal changes in Kazakhstan
-- No access to capital / funding for Sekisovskoye or Karasuyskoye
-- Commodity price risk
-- Currency risk
-- Changes to mining code in Kazakhstan
-- Reliance on operating in one country
-- Reliant on one operating mine
-- Technical difficulties associated with developing the underground mine
at Sekisovskoye
-- Failure to achieve production estimates
2. Profit/(loss) per ordinary share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares and retained profit/(loss) for the financial period for calculating the basic loss per share for the period are as follows:

The intangible assets relate to the historic geological information pertaining to the Karasuyskoye Ore Fields. The Ore Fields are located in close proximity to the current open pit and underground mining operations of Sekisovskoye. In May 2016 the Company was awarded an exploration and evaluation contract, which is valid for six years, with a right to extend for a further 4 years. The company is in process of applying for a test production licence which is expected to be received in the near term.
Ongoing costs in relation to exploration and evaluation are capitalised.
