PEMBRIDGE RESOURCES PLC
ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER 2018
Pembridge Resources plc
Company No. 07352056
Strategic Report
Chairman's statement
We are pleased to present the Annual Report and Financial Statements of Pembridge Resources plc's ("Pembridge", the "Group" or the "Company") results for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Introduction
Given the macro outlook for mining and mining investment during 2018, the Directors believed an opportunity existed for the Company to take advantage of cyclically low asset and project valuations, particularly in base and precious metals, and to invest in projects where access to capital has been restricted.
In February 2018 the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with Capstone Mining Corporation ("Capstone") to acquire Minto Explorations Ltd ("Minto"), which operates a copper-gold-silver mine (the "Minto Mine"). The Minto Mine is located in the mining friendly Yukon territory in Canada and has a 10-year production history with all key infrastructure and facilities in place. The opportunity offered by the Minto Mine aligned with the Company's stated goal to acquire a producing and profitable mining operation, to which the Pembridge team can add value.
The Company sought to raise equity in June 2018 in order to fund the purchase of the Minto Mine. However, against a background of falling copper prices and increased market uncertainty, the Company was unable to raise the equity required despite the backing of a major global Japanese trading house and a clear plan to extend the life of the Minto Mine.
Subsequently, Capstone took the decision to cease production at the Minto Mine and placed it onto care-and-maintenance, effective 11 October 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company engaged in discussions with Capstone to renegotiate the terms of the SPA.
The Company expects to be in a position to provide an update to shareholders on the status of those discussions shortly.
During the year the Company acquired three newly incorporated Canadian registered subsidiary undertakings in order to acquire certain mining rights in the Yukon. As a result, the year ended 31 December 2018 is the first period in which consolidated financial statements are prepared.
Financials
During 2018, the Group and Company made a loss of US$3.79 million (2017 - Company loss of US$1.90 million). The closing cash and cash equivalents balance is US$0.151 million at year-end 2018, compared to US$2.027 million at year-end 2017.

Directors' Report
The Directors present their report and the audited Financial Statements of the Group and Company for the year ended 31 December 2018.
General information about the Group and Company is provided in note 1 to the Financial Statements.
Principal activity
The principal activity of Pembridge is to operate as a base and precious metals focussed holding company.
Business review and future development
A review of the business and future developments of the Group and Company is included within the Chairman's statement on pages 2 and 3, which form part of the Strategic Report.
Results and dividends
During 2018, the Group made a loss of US$3.83 million (2017 - Company loss of US$1.90 million). The loss incurred during the year consists of costs of running the head office in London, associated listing and regulatory requirements and legal and professional costs in connection with the Minto acquisition. No dividends were paid during the year and the Directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend (2017: $nil).
Going concern
The Group's and Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation will depend upon a number of matters including future successful capital raisings for necessary funding or loans from third parties.
The Group and Company does not currently have sufficient funds to meet its working capital needs over the going concern period, and further funding will be required in order to complete an acquisition and for associated working capital requirements. The Company will seek to raise funds for working capital purposes through a fundraise, and will seek re-admission to listing on the standard segment of the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Directors are of the opinion that the Company will be able to secure funding through fundraises and from third parties to meet its current and future liabilities. However, in the event that the Group and Company is unable to secure finance either through third parties or capital raising, it may not have sufficient funds in order to meet its contracted and committed liabilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements, and will need to source additional funds by alternative means to continue as a going concern.
Related Party Transactions
The Company borrowed GBP280,000 during the year to 31 December 2018 from its Directors, to fund working capital. Further details are provided in Note 10 to these financial statements.

Governance Report
Introduction
Pembridge Resources plc recognises the importance of, and is committed to, high standards of Corporate Governance. At the date of this Report, and whilst the Company is not formally required to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will try to observe, where practical, the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code. The UK Corporate Governance Code can be found at frc.org.uk/our-work/publications/Corporate-Governance.
The Group will comply with the QCA Code, as published by the Quoted Companies Alliance, to the extent they consider appropriate in light of the Group's size, stage of development and resources.
The Group is currently a small company with a modest resource base. The Group has a clear mandate to optimise the allocation of limited resources to support its development plans. As such, the Group strives to maintain a balance between conservation of limited resources and maintaining robust corporate governance practices. As the Group evolves, the Board is committed to enhancing the Group's corporate governance policies and practices deemed appropriate for the size and maturity of the organisation.
Set out below are the Group's and Company's corporate governance practices for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Leadership
The Group is headed by an effective Board which is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the Group.
The role of the Board - The Board sets the Group's strategy, ensuring that the necessary resources are in place to achieve the agreed strategic priorities, and reviews management and financial performance. It is accountable to shareholders for the creation and delivery of strong, sustainable financial performance and long-term shareholder value. To achieve this, the Board directs and monitors the Group's affairs within a framework of controls which enable risk to be assessed and managed effectively. The Board also has responsibility for setting the Group's core values and standards of business conduct and for ensuring that these, together with the Group's obligations to its stakeholders, are widely understood throughout the Group.
Board Meetings - The core activities of the Board are carried out in scheduled meetings of the Board. These meetings are timed to link to key events in the Group's corporate calendar and regular reviews of the business are conducted. Additional meetings and conference calls are arranged to consider matters which require decisions outside the scheduled meetings. During the year, the Board met on 9 occasions.
Outside the scheduled meetings of the Board, the Directors maintain frequent contact with each other to discuss any issues of concern they may have relating to the Group or their areas of responsibility, and to keep them fully briefed on the Company's operations.
Matters reserved specifically for Board - The Board has a formal schedule of matters reserved that can only be decided by the Board. The key matters reserved are the consideration and approval of;
- The Group's overall strategy; - Financial Statements and dividend policy;
- Management structure including succession planning, appointments and remuneration; material acquisitions and disposal, material contracts, major capital expenditure projects and budgets;
- Capital structure, debt and equity financing and other matters; - Risk management and internal controls; - The Group's corporate governance and compliance arrangements; and - Corporate policies.
Summary of the Board's work in the year - During the year, the Board considered all relevant matters within its remit, but focused in particular on the establishment of the Group and Company and the identification of a suitable investment opportunity for the Company to pursue. Certain other matters are delegated to the Board Committees, namely the Audit and Remuneration Committees.
Governance Report (continued)
Attendance at meetings:
Member Meetings attended ----------------------- -------------------------------------- ------------------ Francis McAllister Chairman and Non-Executive Director 8 David Charles Linsley Director and Chief Executive Officer 9 Guy Le Bel Non-Executive Director 9 Gati Al-Jebouri Non-Executive Director 8
The Board is pleased with the high level of attendance and participation of Directors at Board and committee meetings.
The Chairman, Francis McAllister, sets the Board Agenda and ensures adequate time for discussion.
Non-executive Directors - The non-executive Directors bring a broad range of business and commercial experience to the Company and have a particular responsibility to challenge independently and constructively the performance of the Executive management (where appointed) and to monitor the performance of the management team in the delivery of the agreed objectives and targets.
Non-executive Directors are initially appointed for a term of three years, which may, subject to satisfactory performance and re-election by shareholders, be extended by mutual agreement.
Other governance matters - All of the Directors are aware that independent professional advice is available to each Director in order to properly discharge their duties as a Director. In addition, each Director and Board Committee has access to the advice of the Company Secretary.
The Company Secretary - The Company Secretary role is carried out by London Registrars Ltd.
Effectiveness
For the period under review the Board comprised of a Chief Executive Officer, a non-executive Chairman and two independent non-executive Directors. Biographical details of the Board members are set out on pages 5 and 6 of this report.
The Directors are of the view that the Board and its committees consist of Directors with an appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and diverse backgrounds to enable them to discharge their duties and responsibilities effectively.
Independence - The Board considers each of the non-executive Directors to be independent in character and judgement.
Appointments - the Board is responsible for reviewing and the structure, size and composition of the Board and making recommendations to the Board with regards to any required changes.
Governance Report (continued)
Commitments - All Directors have disclosed any significant commitments to the Board and confirmed that they have sufficient time to discharge their duties.
Induction - All new Directors received an induction as soon as practical on joining the Board.
Conflicts of interest - A Director has a duty to avoid a situation in which he or she has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict with the interests of the Group and Company. The Board had satisfied itself that there is no compromise to the independence of those Directors who have appointments on the Boards of, or relationships with, companies outside the Company. The Board requires Directors to declare all appointments and other situations which could result in a possible conflict of interest.
Board performance and evaluation - The Company has a policy of appraising Board performance annually. Having reviewed various approaches to Board appraisal, the Company has concluded that for a Company of its current scale, an internal process of regular face to face meetings is most appropriate, in which all Board members discuss any issues as and when they arise in relation to the Board or any individual member's performance.
Although the Board consists of only male Directors, the Board supports diversity in the Boardroom and the Financial Reporting Council's aims to encourage such diversity. The following table sets out a breakdown by gender at 31 December 2018:
Male Female
Directors 4 -
----- -------
Senior Managers 3
----- -------
Other employees - 2
----- -------
Accountability
The Board is committed to providing shareholders with a clear assessment of the Group's position and prospects. This is achieved through this report and as required other periodic financial and trading statements.
Going concern - The Group's and Company's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future operations, financial position, and liquidity position are set out in the Directors' Report and the Principle risks and Uncertainties sections of the Strategic Report. In addition, the notes to Financial Statements discloses the financial risk management practices with respect to its capital structure, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, and other related matters.
The Directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Group and Company do not have adequate working capital to execute its operations and will require further working capital during the next 12 months, and has the ability to access such additional financing. The Directors, therefore, have made an informed judgement, at the time of approving Financial Statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Internal controls - The Board of Directors reviews the effectiveness of the Group's and Company's system of internal controls in line with the requirement of the Code. The internal control system is designed to manage the risk of failure to achieve its business objectives. This covers internal financial and operational controls, compliances and risk management. The Company has necessary procedures in place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. The Directors acknowledge their responsibility for the Group's and Company's system of internal controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board confirms the need for an ongoing process for identification, evaluation and management of significant risks faced by the Group. The Directors carry out a risk assessment before signing up to any commitments.
Governance Report (continued)
The Audit Committee regularly reviews and reports to the Board on the effectiveness of the system of internal control. Given the size of the Group and Company and the relative simplicity of the systems, the Board considers that there is no current requirement for an internal audit function. The procedures that have been established to provide internal financial control are considered appropriate for a Group and Company of its size and include controls over expenditure, regular reconciliations and management accounts.
The Directors are responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably available to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Remuneration
Currently due to the size of the Group there is no Remuneration Committee. This will be established following an acquisition. Remuneration paid to Directors in the period under review is disclosed in the Directors' Remuneration Report.
Nomination
Currently due to the size of the Group there is no Nomination Committee. This will be established following an acquisition.
Shareholder relations
Communication and dialogue - Open and transparent communication with shareholders is given high priority and there is regular dialogue with institutional investors, as well as general presentations made at the time of the release of the annual and interim results. All Directors are kept aware of changes in major shareholders in the Company and are available to meet with shareholders who have specific interests or concerns. The Group issues its results promptly to individual shareholders and also publishes them on the Company's website: www.pembridgeresources.com. Regular updates to record news in relation to the Group are included on the Company's website. Shareholders and other interested parties can subscribe to receive these news updates by email by registering online on the website free of charge.
The Directors are available to meet with institutional shareholders to discuss any issues and gain an understanding of the Company's business, its strategies and governance. Meetings are also held with the corporate governance representatives of institutional investors when requested.
Annual General Meeting - At every annual general meeting individual shareholders are given the opportunity to put questions to the Chairman and to other members of the Board that may be present. Notice of the annual general meeting is sent to shareholders at least 21 clear days before the annual general meeting. Details of proxy votes for and against each resolution, together with the votes withheld are announced by way of regulatory information service and are published on the Company's website as soon as practical after the annual general meeting.

Directors' Remuneration Report
Until an acquisition is made the Company will not have a separate remuneration committee. The Board as a whole will instead review the scale and structure of the Directors' fees, taking into account the interests of shareholders and the performance of the Company and Directors. Following the completion of an acquisition, the Board intends to put in place a remuneration committee.
The items included in this report are unaudited unless otherwise stated.
Statement of Pembridge Resources plc's policy on Directors' remuneration
The Group's policy is to maintain levels of remuneration so as to attract, motivate, and retain Directors and Senior Executives of the highest calibre who can contribute their experience to deliver industry leading performance with the Group's operations. Currently Director's remuneration is not subject to specific performance targets.
In future periods the Group intends to implement a remuneration policy so that a meaningful proportion of Executive and Senior Management's remuneration is structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance, align their interests with those of shareholders and to incentivise them to perform at the highest levels. No Director takes part in any decision directly affecting their own remuneration.

Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the Group and Company Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. Under company law the Directors must not approve the Financial Statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of the profit or loss of the Group and Company for that period.
In preparing these Financial Statements, the Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; -- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether applicable IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and
-- prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's and Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Company and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements and the Directors' Remuneration Report comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
They are also responsible to make a statement that they consider that the Annual Report and Financial Statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced, and understandable and provides the information necessary for the shareholders to assess the Group and Company's position and performance, business model and strategy.
Website publication
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the Financial Statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Directors Responsibility pursuant to DTR4
Each of the Directors whose names and functions are listed on page 4 confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief:
-- the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of the Group and Company; and
-- the Annual Report and Financial Statements, including the Business review, includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group and Company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Pembridge Resources p[lc
Disclaimer of Opinion
We were engaged to audit the Financial Statements of Pembridge Resources plc (the "Parent Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2018 which comprise the Consolidated and Company Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated and Company Cash Flow Statements and notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union.
We do not express an opinion on the accompanying Financial Statements of the Group and Parent Company. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these Financial Statements.
Basis for disclaimer of opinion
As explained in Note 3 'Accounting Policies - going concern' to the Financial Statements and the 'Going concern' section of the Directors' Report, the Group and Parent Company does not currently have sufficient funds to meet its working capital needs for the next 12 months and further funding will be required. The ability to raise additional funds as at the date of approval of the Financial Statements is dependent on successfully concluding an acquisition, which is contingent on obtaining the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Directors have been unable to provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support their opinion that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. We were unable to satisfy ourselves, through the performance of alternative audit procedures, that additional funds would be secured in the absence of achieving the above. Consequently, we were unable to confirm the adequacy of the disclosures or conclude on the adequacy of the going concern basis of preparation, for which the possible effects on the Financial Statements could be both material and pervasive.
Our application of materiality
The materiality applied to the Group and Parent Company Financial Statements was US$90,000, based on thresholds for net liabilities and the loss before tax. The performance materiality was US$72,000.
An overview of the scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the Financial Statements. In particular, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgement by the Directors and considered future events that are inherently uncertain. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team.
Except for the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer opinion section, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the Group and Parent Company Financial Statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the Financial Statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
As described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the going concern basis of preparation. Information pertaining to going concern is included in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report and accordingly we are unable to confirm the adequacy of that disclosure for the same reason.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the part of the Directors' remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have been unable to form an opinion, whether based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-- the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the Financial Statements are prepared is consistent with the Financial Statements; and
-- the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the Group and Parent Company Financial Statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit performed subject to the pervasive limitation described above, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
Arising solely from the limitation on the scope of our work referred to above:
-- we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
-- we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept by the Parent Company.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-- returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-- the Parent Company Financial Statements and the part of the Directors' remuneration report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Group and Company Financial Statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Group and Parent Company Financial Statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the Group's and Parent Company's Financial Statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and to issue an auditor's report.
However, because of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these Financial Statements.
We are independent of the Group and Parent Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other matters which we are required to address
We were appointed by the Board of Directors on 10 February 2018 to audit the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is two years.
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not provided to the Group or the Company and we remain independent of the Group and Company in conducting our audit.
As part of our audit procedures, we gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Group and Company and considered the risk of acts by the Group or Company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations or through collusion. Our tests included making enquiries of management, as well as inspecting underlying supporting documentation and calculations.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. Procedures designed and executed to address these risks included the review and testing of journal entries during the period, testing and evaluating management's key accounting estimates for reasonableness and consistency, review of transactions through the bank statements, and undertaking cut-off procedures to verify proper cut-off of expenses.
Our disclaimer of opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Board.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Group and Company meets its working capital and investment requirements from its cash and cash equivalents. The Company raises finance for its activities in discrete tranches. The Group and Company did not generate revenues from operations during 2018. As such, the ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumptions will depend upon a number of matters including future successful capital raisings for necessary funding or loans from third parties.
The Group and Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its working capital needs for the next 12 months and further funding will be required either through equity raisings or other financial arrangements to fund working capital and costs associated with a potential acquisition. The Company will seek to raise funds for working capital purposes through a fundraise, and will seek to re-list on the London Stock Exchange, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. This cannot be guaranteed and there are no legally binding agreements in place at the date of approval of these Financial Statements relating to the raising of additional funds.
The Group and Company will only be able to meet its contracted and committed expenditure for at least the next 12 months with a further injection of funds. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will be able to raise such funds, and therefore continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these Financial Statements.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method to write off the cost of the asset less any residual value over its useful economic life as follows:
Furniture and office equipment - 3 years
Intangible assets
Mining Rights are shown at historic cost and are tested annually for impairment.
Foreign currency translation
In preparing the Financial Statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in profit or loss.
Taxes
Income tax represents the sum of the tax currently payable or receivable and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on taxable result for the period. Taxable profit or loss differs from reported profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's and Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Tax relating to items recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments, assets and liabilities
The Group and Company uses financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and borrowings that arise from its operations.
Financial assets
The only financial assets currently held by the Company are classified as loans and receivables and cash and cash equivalents. These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.
Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Company will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group and Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or it transfers the asset and substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Financial liabilities
Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities are all classified as other financial liabilities. At present, the Company does not have any liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss.
Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest and other borrowing costs incurred in connection with the above are expensed as incurred and reported as part of financing costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
Derecognition of Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. Any interest earned is accrued monthly and classified as finance income. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
Investment in subsidiary
The Company recognises its previous investments in subsidiaries at cost, less any provision for impairment. The cost of acquisition includes directly attributable professional fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds.
Share based payments
The fair value of services received from employees and third parties in exchange for the grant of share options and warrants is recognised as an expense, except for those granted in connection with the issue of new ordinary shares which are shown as a deduction in equity. A corresponding increase is recognised in other reserves in equity. The fair value of the share options and warrants is calculated using an appropriate valuation model. At each reporting period end the Company revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The proceeds received net of any attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when exercised.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group's and Company's accounting policies, described in Note 3, the Directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical estimates in applying the Group's and Company's accounting policies
There are currently no critical estimates or judgements that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group's and Company's accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in Financial Statements.
6. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment.
The Company currently has one operating segment, being a holding Company, therefore all IFRS 8 disclosures are incorporated within other notes to the Financial Statements.

Weighted average number of
shares for basic and diluted
loss per share 223,849,257 133,409,358
============= =============
The basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated using the loss attributable to shareholders of the Group (2017:Company) of US$3,829,000 (2017: US$1,925,000) as the numerator, i.e. no adjustment to loss was necessary. The basic and dilutive loss per share are the same as the effect of the exercise of share options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.
Details of share options and warrants that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods are set out in Note 19.

As at 31 December 2018, trade and other receivables are all considered to be recoverable.
The fair value is equivalent to book value for current assets and liabilities.
The main risks arising from the Group's and Company's financial instruments are liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Directors review and agree policies for managing these risks and these are summarised below.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Directors are current assessing the Group's options in respect of raising additional finance for the business.
The Directors monitor cash flow on a daily basis and at quarterly Board meetings in the context of their expectations for the business, in order to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs.
Interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Group's and Company's cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December was as follows:
US Pound
As at 31 December 2018 Dollars Sterling Total
$'000 $'000 $'000

interest rate 38 1,919 2,027
38 1,919 2,027
The Company's cash at bank is held with an institution with an A+ credit rating (Fitch).
Foreign currency risk management
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:
Group Company Company

The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the US dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally and represents Management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and equity where the US dollar strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the US dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and equity, and the balances below would be negative.
