| 2.         CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONSThe net loss after tax of   | 
| the Group attributable to members for the six months ended 30 June 2010 was         | 
| $3,836,997 (30 June 2009: profit of $5,653,485).                                    | 
|                                                                                     | 
| During the period, the Group:                                                       | 
| ·    Concentrated on due diligence activities in relation to the proposed           | 
| acquisition of a majority interest in two gold exploration project contract areas   | 
| in central-eastern Kazakhstan.  Some $648,037 of costs were incurred over the       | 
| period in connection with these activities.                                         | 
| ·    Acquired a 20% equity interest in Kryso Resources plc (Kryso) at a cost of     | 
| $4,884,988.  Kryso is an AIM-listed mineral exploration and development company     | 
| focused on projects in Tajikistan.  Kryso's primary goal is to bring the Pakrut     | 
| gold project, of which it has 100% ownership, into production.  An internal         | 
| prefeasibility study has been completed for the Pakrut project and a bankable       | 
| feasibility study is currently underway.                                            | 
| ·    Expended $105,177 to renew its uranium exploration licences in respect of the  | 
| Morondava uranium project in Madagascar.                                            | 
| ·    Investigated a number of other mineral operations investment opportunities but | 
| did not lead to any positive outcome.                                               | 
| ·    Redomiciled from Australia to the Cayman Islands following shareholders'       | 
| approval on 27 May 2010.  $238,850 of fees and expenses were incurred in relation   | 
| to this exercise. The accounts presented are those of the newly incorporated        | 
| Cayman Islands company, however in order to present a true and fair comparison for  | 
| shareholders the business has been treated as continuing despite the change in      | 
| legal entity and the comparative figures are those of the predecessor company       | 
| domiciled in Australia. The financial report has been presented in US Dollars which | 
| is the Group's functional currency. Further details are given in Notes 1 and 10 to  | 
| the accounts.                                                                       | 
| ·    Repaid $8,654,959 of capital in cash.                                          | 
| ·    Generated interest income of $1,005,647.                                       | 
| ·    Incurred legal fees of $63,337 and travel expenses of $181,918, principally in | 
| relation to investigating and pursuing investment opportunities.                    | 
| ·    Recognised a foreign exchange loss of $2,059,579 following the strengthening   | 
| of the US dollar, vis-a-vis, in particular, the Australian dollar.                  | 
|                                                                                     |

| ·    Purchased various debt and equity securities at a cost of $678,000; and        | 
| ·    Sold various equity securities realising proceeds of $438,000 and a net profit | 
| on disposal of $89,000.                                                             |

| Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in the interval        | 
| between the end of the half-year and the date of this report any item, transaction  | 
| or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors   |

| the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity, |

| 10. | Corporate reconstructionNatasa Mining Ltd (the "Company") was      | 
|     | incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 14 April 2010.               | 
|     |                                                                    | 
|     | On 27 May 2010, the Company acquired all the assets and            | 
|     | liabilities of Natasa Mining Ltd (incorporated in Australia)       | 
|     | ("Natasa").  The acquisition of the assets and liabilities was met | 
|     | by the issue of 29,241,951 ordinary shares in the Company to the   | 
|     | shareholders of Natasa on a 1:1 basis such that the shareholders   | 
|     | of Natasa became the shareholders of the Company with each         | 
|     | shareholder holding the same number of shares in the Company, in   | 
|     | both absolute and percentage terms, as they did in Natasa.         | 
|     |                                                                    | 
|     | There was a return of surplus capital to the shareholders of       | 
|     | Natasa of A$10,234,683 (A$0.35 per share) following which the      | 
|     | cancellation of the Natasa shares took place.                      | 
|     |                                                                    | 
|     | As part of the reconstruction, the Company subscribed for one      | 
|     | share in Natasa which subsequently became a 100% owned subsidiary  | 
|     | of the Company.                                                    | 
|     |                                                                    | 
|     | The Directors considered that the fair value of the net assets of  | 
|     | Natasa equalled that of their net book value of A$45,983,144       |
