("MIR" or the "Company")
Interim Report for the six months ended 31 December 2013
Chairman's review
Dear Shareholders,
The six month period to 31 December 2013 was one of implementation of the Company's strategy to make investments in mining companies in Russia. As a result of these efforts, post period end MIR entered into a preliminary agreement (the "Agreement") which provides it with a legally binding option to invest in a project to rehabilitate the Taezhny Silver Mine in the Primorsky region of Russia. Under the Agreement MIR has undertaken to carry out a detailed sampling program including sampling of the tailings at Taezhny and metallurgical test work of the tailings and main ore body. The detailed tailings sampling program which included 21 drill holes has been carried out and assaying and metallurgical testing will commence shortly. As announced previously MIR believes that the Taezhny mine provides an opportunity to place a high grade silver deposit with potentially re-treatable tailings back into production as the processing facilities and infrastructure are largely in place.
Primorsky Silver Project
The Taezhny Silver Mine was the first silver mine in the region to be placed into production during the Soviet times and is one of a large number of silver and gold discoveries contained within the Primorsky Silver belt. The transaction to rehabilitate the Taezhny Silver Mine is accompanied by three exploration licences with identified exploration targets and thereby provides a strategic entry into the Primorsky silver belt which MIR believes will provide many opportunities.
The Agreement enables the Company to conduct further due diligence and reduce technical risk by undertaking additional metallurgical testing and sampling of the existing tailings at the mine (the "Tests"), prior to committing to the project rehabilitation (the "Main Transaction"). If the results of the Tests are positive then it is envisaged that MIR will proceed with the Main Transaction, subject to raising the necessary funds. The Main Transaction involves MIR investing up to US$10 million in consideration for a controlling shareholding of 60 per cent of a new holding company ("HoldCo") that will own the project. The remaining 40 per cent of HoldCo will be owned by Ruspacific Group LLC ("Ruspacific"), the current majority owner of the Taezhny mine.
Since entering into the Agreement, MIR has undertaken a programme of sampling of the tailings pond including the drilling of 21 drill holes. The samples from the tailing drill holes and additional samples from the underground ore body of the mine will be assayed and metallurgical tests carried out. The total cost of the programme is expected to be around US$200,000.
Strategic Alliance with Artel Vostok
The Company's strategy has also resulted in MIR entering into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Artel Vostok, a company which is one of the main gold alluvial mining companies in the northern region of Khabarovsk. Artel Vosotk has applied for an exploration licence for one of the areas surrounding its alluvial gold rivers which is believed to contain substantial gold resources which are the source of gold for the rivers.
Russian Investment Outlook
At the current time, there is uncertainty created by the political situation between Russia and Ukraine. To date the situation has not affected the mining industry in the Russian Far East, except to the extent that the rouble has fallen around 10% since January which we believe should decrease costs. The board continues to monitor the situation and assess the impact this may have on any investment decision in the region.
Financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2013
The financial results for 6 months ended 31 December 2013 resulted in a loss of GBP276,000. Of this, GBP45,000 was lost due to the fall in MIR's investment portfolio, in line with the general fall in junior mining company stocks. At the period end, short term quoted investments still held showed a market value of GBP240,000. At the period end the Company had cash of GBP179,000 which, as at today's date has reduced to GBP75,000.
Trading in the shares of the Company on AIM remain suspending pending the publication of an Admission Document in respect of the proposed acquisition of the Taezhny Silver Mine or until such time as the Company decides not to proceed with the transaction.
On behalf of the Board
