16 October 2019

Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information according to REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR).

Cobra Resources plc

("Cobra" or "the Company")

Interim Results

Cobra Resources plc (LSE:COBR), the precious and base metals mineral exploration and development company, has published its results for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

Electronic copies of the report are available at the Company's website: www.cobraresources.co.uk

Operational Highlights

Key operational milestones achieved during the period:

   --      Announcement of an increased 211k oz gold resource for the Wudinna gold project. 

-- Completion of positive CPR's by SRK for both the Wudinna Gold Project and the Prince Alfred Copper Mine.

-- Completion of exploration planning for the 2019/20 drilling programmes with all of the Wudinna exploration permits approved by the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining (DEM).

Corporate and Financial Highlights

-- The Company announced the proposed acquisition of Lady Alice Mines Pty Ltd (LAM) on the 7(th) March 2019, which will see the Company transform into an operating business.

-- Since this announcement, the board has focused on raising funds to complete the acquisition agreement and support the 2019/2020 exploration programmes.

Craig Moulton, Executive Director, commented: The company is positioning itself to begin a strong and exciting journey, and is focused on growth commodities in well-regulated jurisdictions. While global economic volatility continues to make capital for junior explorers very competitive, we believe that prudent explorers with quality projects, such as Cobra, will continue to demonstrate their appeal.

Operational Review

The last 6 months have been an exciting time for the Company as it finalised an agreement to acquire Lady Alice Mines Pty Ltd (LAM), the holder of two highly prospective exploration assets in Australia, namely the Wudinna Gold Project and the Prince Alfred Copper Mine. This acquisition will transform the Company into an operational business, and the board is confident that this will mark the beginning of an exciting journey for Cobra shareholders.

In preparation for fund raising activities the Wudinna mineral resource was re-estimated by Optiro, increasing the gold resource inventory from 200k oz to 211k oz. Both assets were then reviewed by SRK consulting who confirmed the assets exploration prospectivity, as well as the Company's proposed exploration programme.

The board then turned its focus to raising the necessary funds to complete the agreement, and also to support the planned 2019/20 exploration programme, which it believes will unlock the value in these assets and provide capital growth to shareholders.

In parallel, the Company continued exploration planning activities to ensure that the planned exploration programmes could progress once fundraising was completed, with all permits for the Wudinna Gold project now approved by the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining (DEM).

Operational Review, continued

By the end of the period, fund raising activities have continued to progress, however a regulation changes by the FCA regarding prospectus structure required the Company to re-submit its prospectus

after having received initial eligibility status. As this coincided with the summer holiday period for the financial community, the board decided to delay fundraising activities until late September / early October.

Corporate Development

The Board was strengthened during the period with the appointment of Craig Moulton as an Executive Director. Mr Moulton brings the benefit of a long career in the geology and mining sector as a geologist and mineral economist. Mr Moulton received his Bachelor of Science degree in Geology with honours from the University of Western Australia and also holds a Masters in Mineral Economics (with Distinction) from Curtin University.

Financial Review

Cobra reported an unaudited operating loss for the six months ended 30 June 2019 of GBP361,284 which equates to a loss per share for the period of GBP0.0054. The Company is undergoing a fundraise which will enable the Company to develop its targeted exploration campaigns across its key projects over the next 12-18 months.

Outlook

During the first six months of the financial year the Company will be focused on completing the planned fund raise and then executing the initial phases of the Wudinna Exploration programme which will include geochemical sampling and then drilling of priority targets.

Half-yearly report notes

1. Half-yearly report

This half-yearly report was approved by the Directors on 29(th) September 2019.

The information relating to the six month periods to 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 are unaudited.

The information relating to the year to 31 December 2018 is extracted from the audited financial statements of the Company which have been filed at Companies House and on which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report. The condensed interim financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company's auditor.

2. Basis of accounting

The report has been prepared using accounting policies and practices that are consistent with those adopted in the statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2018, although the information does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. The half-yearly report has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The Company's day to day financing is from its available cash resources.

The Company is undergoing a fundraise which will enable the Company to develop its targeted exploration campaigns across its key projects over the next 12-18 months and the Directors are confident that adequate funding can be raised as required to meet the Company's current and future liabilities.

For the reasons outlined above, the Directors are satisfied that the Company will be able to meet its current and future liabilities, and continue trading, for the foreseeable future and, in any event, for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approving this report. The preparation of these financial statements on a going concern basis is therefore considered to remain appropriate.

These half-yearly financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

This half-year report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

The Company will report again for the full year to 31 December 2019.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.

Intangible assets

Exploration and development costs

All costs associated with mineral exploration and investments are capitalised on a project-by-project basis, pending determination of the feasibility of the project. Costs incurred include appropriate technical and administrative expenses but not general overheads. If an exploration project is successful, the related expenditures will be transferred to mining assets and amortised over the estimated life of economically recoverable reserves on a unit of production basis.

Half-yearly report notes, continued

2. Basis of accounting, continued

Intangible assets

Exploration and development costs

Where a licence is relinquished or a project abandoned, the related costs are written off in the period in which the event occurs. Where the Group maintains an interest in a project, but the value of the project is considered to be impaired, a provision against the relevant capitalised costs will be raised.

The recoverability of all exploration and development costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
