-- The licence extension in relation to the Smirnovskoye (licence 1605)
deposit has been approved until 1 August 2018;
-- The licence extension in relation to Drozhilovskoye (licence 1606)
deposit is currently awaiting approval, with the contract extension
expected to be received in the latter part of H2 2016;
-- Work programme halted until approval of both licences and detailed
exploration programmes are agreed with the Kazakhstan authorities;
-- Continued support for the Company from its major shareholder; and
-- Attributable loss reduced to GBP232k (2015: GBP423k), due to savings in
administrative overheads;
Commenting on the results, Sanzhar Assaubayev, CEO of Kemin Resources said:
"At the current time the management have decided to suspend further exploration work until both licences have been renewed and the work programmes have been agreed with the Kazakh authorities going forward. The Board members are firmly of the opinion that the timing of development is key to maximising the returns to shareholders, and this opinion is shared by the major shareholder that remains committed to project development."

Information on the Company
Kemin Resources plc (AIM: KEM) was formed into its present structure in April 2013 by the reverse take-over of GMA Resources plc by the 'Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP' (KRMC).
The Company is focused on developing its two molybdenum and tungsten deposits Drozhilovskoye and Smirnovskoye. Each of the deposits is assessed to have significant value.
Kemin's 90% owned Kazakh entity, KRMC, is the developer and future operator of the two subsoil licences that allow exploration and mining at each deposit.
Both deposits are located in northern Kazakhstan.
Kemin Resources Plc
Chief Executive Officer's Review
As was noted in the 2015 Annual Report, the current pricing of the two key resources, Molybdenum and Tungsten, does not warrant the Company moving quickly to the production phase. Management has taken the decision to suspend further exploration work until both of the licence extensions are agreed and the work programmes in relation to the two deposits have been confirmed by the authorities.
The application to the Kazakhstan authorities for renewal of the licences required detailed and comprehensive information in relation to the exploration works to be undertaken. The Company has spent a considerable amount of time and effort in drawing up the necessary work programmes, and dealing with correspondence in relation to the work programmes with the authorities. All necessary information has been provided and the expectation is that the licence extension for the Drozhilovskoye licence will be granted in the latter part of H2 2016. The Company is pleased that the necessary permissions in relation to the Smirnovskoye were granted recently and this licence will now run until 1 August 2018.
It was considered key at this time to conserve the available monies, be focused and targeted in the development of the resources and to wait until the exploration plans have been agreed with the authorities. The Company has also looked closely at administrative costs during the period and made savings as appropriate given the current scale of operations.
The objectives and plan going forward remain as follows:
1. Updating the geological models to reflect new drilling, higher cut off grades and exploration encompassing new areas within both subsoil licences.
2. Additional metallurgical testing with the intention to optimise recoveries.
The Board remains positive in relation to the project and recent remodelling based on current prices indicates that the Company has a valuable asset, which will generate good returns for the shareholders.
There is currently an agreement in place with the major shareholder of Kemin Resources to provide cash resources to take the project development forward. Under this agreement cash resources are currently available of approximately GBP4.7m. The shareholder has agreed with the Board that this facility remains available and they are fully committed to the development of the projects.

Notes to the consolidated financial information
Six months ended 30 June 2016
1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared using policies based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as adopted for use in the EU.
The consolidated interim financial information have been prepared using the accounting policies which will be applied in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The consolidated interim financial information for the period 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016 is unaudited and incorporates unaudited comparative figures for the interim period 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 and the audited financial information for the year to 31 December 2015. It does not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required within a complete set of financial statements.
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 have a material impact on the Group.
Going Concern
As at 30 June 2016, the Group had cash in hand of GBP0.119m (2015:GBP0.47m).
Under a loan agreement dated 10 April 2013, Amrita Investment Limited (a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and ultimately controlled by the Assaubayev family) made available a facility of GBP7,000,000 on an unsecured basis. This was to be applied towards the Group's working capital requirements and the settlement of debts due of the Joint Venture Kazakhstan-Russian Mining Company LLP (KMRC). There is currently approximately GBP4.7m available under this facility.
The loan bears interest at LIBOR+5%. The loan is repayable on the earliest of the fifth anniversary of the agreement or of the fundraising completion date in respect of any equity fundraising which raises at least GBP5,000,000 (before expenses). At this point the Lender may choose to convert the loan into the ordinary shares of the Company at the conversion rates stipulated within the contract.
The Directors are confident that the Group has sufficient resources available to meet its liabilities as they fall due and its working capital requirements going forward and have therefore prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.
Kemin Resources Plc
Notes to the consolidated financial information (continued)
Six months ended 30 June 2016
2 Loss per ordinary share
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is based upon the retained loss for the financial period, six months to 30 June 2016 is GBP232,000, (30 June 2015 GBP423,000; 31 December 2015 GBP1,101,000).
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for calculating the basic loss per share and diluted loss per share for the six months to 30 June 2016 is 174,833,041 (30 June 2015 174,833,041; 31 December 2015 174,833,041).
3 Functional and presentational currency
The Group has prepared its financial statements in British Pounds. The functional currency of Joint Venture Kazakhstan-Russian Mining Company LLP (KRMC) trading company in Kazakhstan is the Kazakhstan Tenge ("KZT"). The functional currency of Kemin Resources is Pound Sterling. The rates used to convert Kazakhstan Tenge into British Pounds in these financial statements are as follows:
30 June 2016 30 June 2015 31 December 2015
Closing Average Closing Average Closing Average
KZT= GBP 449.35 493.52 291.04 278.74 498.52 336.55
The currency translation movement on the Group's net investment in its subsidiaries in Kazakhstan is taken to reserves.
The financial statements of all Group companies are translated into British Pounds whereby their income statements are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year and their statement of financial position at the closing rate of exchange at the reporting date. Currency translation adjustments arising on the restatement of opening net assets, together with adjustments arising from the retranslation of intergroup and long term foreign currency loans to subsidiaries, are taken direct to reserves.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a Company are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at the closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising from the restatement of monetary assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange at the reporting date or from the settlement of monetary transactions at a rate different from that at which the asset or liability was recorded are dealt with through the income statement.
4 Events after the balance sheet date
There were no significant transactions after the reporting date.
5 Approval of interim group financial statements
The interim group financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2016 were approved by the directors on 29 September 2016.
6 Ultimate Controlling Party
The controlling party of Kemin Resources plc is Bergfolk Corporation, by virtue of the fact that it owns 76,14% of the voting rights in the company. The ultimate controlling party is the Assaubayev family.
