Interim Results

MetalNRG plc (LSE:MNRG), the natural resource investing and exploration company, announces its results for the six months period ended 30 June 2020.

Operational Highlights

Key operational milestones achieved during the period:

The focus at the beginning of the financial year was very much on developing the opportunity within our Gold asset in Arizona, Goldridge. We completed two campaigns; one focused on measuring the gold content left behind in the waste dump at level 6 and the second campaign to establish the ore left behind in the underground pillars where we had some extremely encouraging results. Our priority focus has been the last mined face on Level 6 at the Gold Ridge Mine. This sample returned 30.4 grams/tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 69 g/t silver. The face shows the exposed vein with a width of 0.6 metres on a mined face of 1.3 metres. The vein consists of quartz with massive sulphide mineralisation.

These results affirm our belief that the Gold Ridge Project is a unique exploration and production opportunity with demonstrable high-grade mineralisation and the potential for early avenues to revenue generative processing and a larger scale exploration opportunity. As activity at Goldridge has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have had to take a temporary step back from further work on the ground but we remain keen to develop the mine as soon as current restrictions are eased as we see a substantial opportunity to turn Goldridge into a cash positive producing asset within the next 12 to 18 months.

We are continuously assessing the situation in Arizona and will seek to mobilise again as soon as it is safe to do so.

During the year we also entered into an exclusivity agreement to acquire an Oil & Gas asset in Romania. During the due diligence progress the price of oil changed dramatically and as a result we changed the terms of the agreement which the vendor is still considering. We then entered a second exclusivity agreement for the acquisition of a UK based portfolio of onshore oil and gas licences, of which one is currently in production. The due diligence is being finalised and we anticipate closing the transaction by the end of September 2020 when additional announcements will be made.

Corporate Development

The Company will continue to seek additional projects that meet its set investment criteria. The intention is specifically to seek opportunities where we can deliver early positive cash flows from an asset and, where the cash generated from the operations allows us, explore and develop each particular project further. We expect announcements in the very near future on further developments.

During the year we welcomed Pierpaolo Rocco to our board; he brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise in Oil and Gas and he is leading our efforts in this sector.

Financial Review

MetalNRG reported an unaudited operating loss for the six months period ended 30 June 2020 of GBP386,304 (six months period to 31 August 2019: an unaudited operating loss of GBP260,228). Basic and diluted loss per share for the period was 0.11p and 0.08p respectively (six months period to 31 August 2019: Basic loss per share was 0.12p and diluted loss per share was 0.10p).

Outlook

A number of projects have been evaluated and good progress has been made to date. We expect further announcements will be made to update the market on any concrete achievements.

Half-yearly report notes

1. Half-yearly report

This interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 1 September 2020.

The information relating to the six months periods to 30 June 2020 and 31 August 2019 are unaudited.

The information relating to the 10-months period to 31 December 2019 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 been reviewed by the Company's auditor.

2. Basis of accounting

The interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies and practices that are consistent with those adopted in the statutory financial statements for the 10-months period ended 31 December 2019, although the information does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These interim 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 interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this interim report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019, 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 2020.

Going concern

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

The Company is confident of raising funds to enable it to continue to develop its targeted investments and 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 interim report. The preparation of these interim financial statements on a going concern basis is therefore considered to remain appropriate.

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 2019 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.

Interim 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.
