Peninsular Gold Limited

('Peninsular Gold' or the 'Company' or the 'Group')

(AIM: PGL)

Interim results (unaudited) for the six month period to 31(st) December 2013

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

Once again we are updating you on our half yearly results for the period from 1(st) July to 31(st) December, 2013.

The pre-tax loss for the Group for the six months to 31(st) December 2013 was GBP2,817,879 (2012: Profit GBP2,216,330). This loss for the first half of the year reflects the impact of the recent gold price lows, a foreign exchange loss of GBP 1,462,032 (of which GBP1,439,028 is unrealised) and the impact on production in Q4 2013 of heavy rains and a mill being offline for a few weeks.

Q1 of 2014 has started well with an improvement in gold production in January of 2,105 ounces followed by 1,987 ounces in February.

As announced on 23 December 2013 the Company raised GBP1,200,000 of working capital via the issuance of unsecured convertible loan notes.

Operations

Gold production for the six months to 31(st) December, 2013 was 10,464 ounces (2012: 11,705 ounces) of gold from an estimated plant throughput of 644,000 tonnes.

During Q3 2013 the Raub operation shifted to mining and processing principally tailings material and the focus has been to achieve a higher plant availability and throughput rate. Some mill downtime for one of the mills, lower recoveries and the impact of heavy rain in Q4 2013 impacted production as announced on 14 March, 2014.

However, Q1 2014 has started well with the improved levels of gold production in January and February.

In addition to our emphasis at Raub to improve both throughput and recovery we are also looking to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies.

Successful Settlement of Defamation Case

As announced on 20(th) March 2014, we have successfully concluded the defamation proceedings brought by RAGM against MToday News Sdn Bhd and one of its reporters ("Defendants"). The proceeding was brought as a result of the Defendants having published a number of defamatory statements of RAGM, suggesting that RAGM has directly caused the alleged ill-health and/or alleged deaths of residents of Kampung Bukit Koman and has been irresponsible in carrying out operations at its Carbon-In-Leach plant.

The Defendants made an unequivocal and public apology, which was made in open court and published an agreed Statement of Apology on its Website. The Defendants in their apology have admitted that there is no foundation to any of the allegations made and have unreservedly withdrawn all imputations cast upon RAGM. The Defendants have further agreed and undertaken not to publish similar statements of a defamatory nature in the future.

Strategy and Outlook

We are continuing to focus on increasing the plant throughput and gold output over the coming months as well as on the cost effectiveness of our operations.

The second half of the financial year, H1 2014, is already looking better with total gold production for January and February of 4,092 ounces matched with a higher gold price. If these factors maintain or improve further, coupled with our ongoing cost effectiveness measures, then we are hopeful of an improved second half. Should it prove necessary at any point, we are confident of being able to obtain additional working capital for the Company.

Other intangible assets comprise mineral properties including mining licences and rights.

The Group's mining assets were valued by independent experts prior to the acquisition of the subsidiaries on 17(th) June 2005 and these valuations were considered to be relevant and unimpaired at the financial reporting date. The valuation was based upon the defined reserves, resources and the Group's prospecting interests. Valuation techniques most relevant to the asset type, as considered by the independent valuer, were applied and included discounted cash flows for the defined reserves, comparable transaction method for the inferred resources and the Geoscience Factor method for mineral titles.

No revenue has been generated from SEREM in the financial period ended 31(st) December 2013 from its mineral reserves. Hence, there is no amortisation of mining reserves and resources for SEREM.

Bank Loans

All bank loans are secured by way of a debenture over all the assets and undertakings of RAGM, a third party charge over a property owned by a company under common control and corporate guarantees provided by the Parent Company.

Convertible Loan Notes

During the financial period ended 31st December 2013, the Company raised GBP1,200,000 (before expenses) by way of the issue of 1,200,000 convertible redeemable unsecured loan notes. The convertible loan notes are convertible into new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company. The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion shall equal the number of loan notes to be converted divided by a conversion factor of 0.12. The right to convert is conditional upon a noteholder making an additional payment to the Company on conversion of 3 pence for each Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion.

Upon redemption of the loan notes by the Company, either at maturity or earlier, a noteholder is entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment equal to the number of convertible loan notes to be redeemed by the relevant noteholder divided by 0.12 and multiplied by 3 pence. If all convertible loan notes are redeemed and not converted this would result in an additional payment of GBP300,000.
