   About Goldplat 
 
 
   Goldplat plc is an AIM quoted gold producer with two market leading 
recovery operations in South Africa and Ghana and an operational gold 
mine in Kenya.   The Company produced 42,857 ounces of gold during FY 
2017, with 40,285 gold equivalent ounces sold and transferred, resulting 
in an operating profit from continuing operations of GBP2.9m for the 
year.  This result does not benefit from the increased processing 
capacity that was achieved at the Kilimapesa Gold Mine towards the end 
of FY 2017, with operational profitability achieved during last two 
months of FY 2017.  Accordingly, the Company believes it is well placed 
to build upon production and profitability during FY 2018. 
 
   The Company's strategy is focussed on utilising cash flow generated from 
its flagship gold recovery and mining operations to self-fund the 
sustainable growth and expansion of its niche gold recovery business 
model internationally. The Company also retains exposure to a small 
exploration project in Ghana, in which Ashanti Gold Corp. is earning an 
interest via an earn-in option agreement.
