Chairman's Statement

Introduction

The Company has made good progress throughout the first half on its strategy to identify gold exploration and development projects, with a primary focus on Kyrgyzstan. The Company has an option to acquire the entire issued share capital of Central Asia Resources Limited ("CAR"), which in turn has an option to acquire a majority interest in two exploration licences on the Tien Shan belt in Kyrgyzstan. The Company is making significant progress on the CAR acquisition and looks forward to making an announcement in this regard at the appropriate time.

The Company is also actively considering other gold acquisition opportunities in Kyrgyzstan. To properly reflect the Company's new strategy, it is intended that the Company will, in due course, propose to change its name to Premier Gold Resources plc.

Exploration activities

Premier has to date advanced approximately GBP520,000 of loan capital to CAR to fund exploration activity predominantly on the Cholokkaindy gold exploration licence on the Tien Shan belt inKyrgyzstan and, more recently, the Uzunbulak lithium exploration project in the same region. The Uzunbulak project is being included initially in the transaction as it forms part of the acquisition package and its potential is being assessed. Gold exploration work is progressing well with field work underway since June, comprising mainly trenching as well as geological mapping and geophysical surveying.

The Tien Shan gold belt is one of the most prolific gold producing areas in the world. As gold accounts for more than 90% of the minerals mined in Kyrgyzstan by value, the country has a well-developed mining industry with infrastructure and skilled labour. It was also the first Central Asian country to implement a parliamentary democracy. The government is committed to attracting inward investment and has an attractive tax regime with various incentives to encourage foreign investment in the mining sector. The country has excellent exploration potential as much of it is under-explored.

Board changes

The Company is developing a board with the necessary expetise to implement its natural resources strategy. I was pleased to announce the appointment earlier this month of Richard Nolan as Chief Operating Officer. Richard has over fifteen years of experience in investment banking with a significant emphasis on natural resources. He has an extensive background researching, advising and raising capital for companies operating in the natural resources sector, advising on all aspects of corporate strategy, asset selection and asset development.

With Richard Nolan sitting alongside my board colleagues Dr Reza Tabrizi and Christian Schaffalitzky, I am confident that we have a high cablibre board with vast combined experience in corproate finance and mineral exploration, discovery and development, including specifically in the region in which we are investing.

Financial results

The results for the six months ended 31 July 2011 showed a loss before tax of GBP417,177 (2010 - GBP28,583). The Company currently has no turnover. The loss reflects the costs of pursing the Company's investment strategy, including the undertaking of significant due diligence, and general working capital. The Company advanced approximately GBP520,000of loan capital during the period to Central Asia Resources Limited to fund exploration activity predominantly on the Cholokkaindy gold exploration licence on the Tien Shan belt in Kyrgyzstan and, more recently, the Uzunbulak lithium exploration project in the same region. At 31 July 2011 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of GBP1,552,783.

The Company intends to change its financial year end from 31 January to 31 December. The next annual accounts will therefore be for the eleven months to 31 December 2011.

Outlook

The Company is making good progress on advancing its acquisition strategy including in respect of its option to acquire Central Asia Resources Limited, which in turn has an option to acquire a majority interest in two highly prospective exploration opportunities on the Tien Shan belt in Kyrgyzstan (Cholokkaindy and Uzunbulak). The Company continues to financially support exploration activity on Cholokkaindy and Uzunbulak projects which are progressing well and we look foward to updating shareholders in due course.
