Interim Results

Kodal Minerals Plc ("Kodal Minerals" or the "Company" and, with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), the mineral development and exploration company focused on its Bougouni Lithium project in southern Mali, announces to shareholders today its unaudited interim results for the six month period ended 30 September 2019.

Overview:

-- Environmental Permit for the development of the Bougouni Lithium project granted post period in November 2019, following completion of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA");

-- Bulk sample of 800 tonnes of Ngoualana prospect lithium mineralisation arrived in China for process testing on production scale programme;

-- Open pit mine scheduling and process plant design complete and technical reports for Mining Licence application near finalisation. Application expected to be submitted in December 2019;

-- New exploration licences of Fariedele and Sogola Nord granted covering approximately 150km(2) within the Bougouni project and registered directly in the names of Kodal Minerals' subsidiaries. The licences provide certainty of title for a further seven years; and

-- All licences of the Bougouni Lithium project now registered in Kodal Minerals' subsidiary company names covering a total area of approximately 350km(2) .

Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals, said: "Kodal Minerals is focused on the development of the Bougouni Lithium project in southern Mali, West Africa. The Company has continued to advance to our objective and critically we received our Environmental Permit for the development of the project in November 2019. This permit was granted following the extensive ESIA that had been undertaken by the Company, and had received strong support from the local community, stakeholders and Government officials. The granting of the Environmental Permit is the first approval required and needed to be received prior to the Company lodging its Mining Licence application.

"The Company has undertaken extensive mining and engineering studies to support the preparation of a Mining Licence application for the Bougouni Lithium project and intends to lodge this as soon as possible. The final technical reports are under review and translation to be attached as appendices to the application with key areas of metallurgical testing and mineral processing, process plant engineering and open pit mine optimisation and scheduling completed.

"In November 2019 the bulk sample of lithium mineralisation from the Ngoualana prospect (within the Bougouni project) arrived at the processing plant in the Shandong province of China. The bulk sample will be tested at a production plant with a processing flowsheet and design layout similar to the plant proposed for our Bougouni Lithium project. This testing will provide valuable first-hand knowledge of the behaviour of the mineralisation to crushing and processing and will allow the Company to make final updates to the process design prior to undertaking construction. The bulk sample will be treated when there is availability at the processing plant, with a full report and analysis of the treatment expected in the New Year.

"Kodal Minerals continues to monitor the security of its tenure over the whole Bougouni Lithium project and, as part of the ongoing work with the Mali Government, has secured new licences valid for up to a further seven years and now have all licences within the Bougouni project registered in the names of its subsidiary companies."

Chairman's Statement

Kodal Minerals continues to make great strides towards our goal of developing the Bougouni Lithium project. The recent receipt of the Environmental Permit post period is very positive for the Company and is a reflection of the dedicated focus of our technical team as well as the support of our consultants who all contributed greatly to this effort. The granting of the Environmental Permit follows the completion of the ESIA that involved environmental monitoring and research as well as extensive community and Government engagement. The successful result highlights Kodal Minerals strong relationships in Mali that our team continues to develop.

The next stage of our progress is achieving the granting of a Mining Licence to develop the Bougouni Lithium project. The Company has continued to finalise its application lead by our Project Manager Steve Zaninovich and a team of expert mining consultants to ensure that we achieve the best possible outcome for the future mining operation.

The Company expects to achieve a fully permitted Bougouni Lithium project in the first half of 2020 and looks forward to providing regular updates to shareholders of all activities surrounding our project and development work.

KODAL MINERALS PLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

General information

Kodal Minerals plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales. The Company's shares are publicly traded on the AIM market of the London stock exchange. Kodal Minerals Plc and its subsidiaries are involved in the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in West Africa and Norway.

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 were approved by the board and authorised for issue on 5 December 2019.

The basis of preparation and accounting policies set out in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019 have been applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the EU that are expected to be applicable to the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2020 and on the basis of the accounting policies expected to be used in those financial statements.

The figures for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 30 September 2018 are unaudited and do not constitute full accounts. The comparative figures for the year ended 31 March 2019 are taken from the 2019 audited accounts, which are available on the Group's website, and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and do not constitute full accounts.

The Group has not earned revenue during the period to 30 September 2019 as it is still in the exploration and development phases of its business. The operations of the Group are currently being financed from funds which the Company has raised from the issue of new shares.

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months. The forecast includes the costs of progressing the feasibility study at the Bougouni Lithium Project through to the submission of its mining licence application as well as the ongoing overheads of the Group. The forecasts indicate that further fund raising will be required during the forecast period in order to continue the development work, undertake limited additional exploration work and provide working capital.

Based on discussions with the Company's advisers, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have access to adequate financial resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. The Group has historically been successful in raising additional funds in such circumstances. Accordingly, the interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, there is a material uncertainty related to the raising of additional funding which may cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements do not contain the adjustments that would result if the Group were not able to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

   1.         SEGMENTAL REPORTING 

The operations and assets of the Group are focused in the United Kingdom and West Africa and comprise one class of business: the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources. The parent Company acts as a holding company. At 30 September 2019, the Group had not commenced commercial production from its exploration sites and therefore had no revenue for the period.

   3.         LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The following reflects the loss and share data used in the basic EPS computations:

 
                                Loss        Weighted average    Basic loss 
                                             number of shares    per share 
                                                                 (pence) 
                                GBP 
 Six months to 30 September 
  2019                          (338,574)   8,403,743,598       (0.0040) 
 Six months to 30 September 
  2018                          (354,979)   7,133,104,973       (0.0050) 
 Year ended 31 March 
  2019                          (712,611)   7,444,317,009       (0.0096) 
 

Diluted loss per Share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary Shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary Shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary Shares. Options in issue are not considered diluting to the earnings per Share as the Group is

currently loss making.   Diluted loss per Share is therefore the same as the basic loss per Share. 
   4.         SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

The share-based payment reserve is used to recognise the value of equity-settled share-based payments provided to employees, including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration.

There is no taxation charge for the period to 30 September 2019 (6 months to 30 September 2018: GBPnil, year to 31 March 2019: GBPnil) as the group continues to incur losses.

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of losses as the timing of their utilisation is uncertain at this stage.
