CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The Board has continued to be active in the identification and evaluation of investment opportunities in various sectors towards the objective of an acquisition that drives creation of value for stakeholders.

Investment in Tonsley Mining Pty Limited and Placement

On 19 April 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to buy an initial interest in the advanced San Jose Lithium-Tin Project in Spain ("the Project") for a consideration of A$500,000 (approx. GBP300,000). The San Jose Project is a Joint Venture between Plymouth Minerals Limited's ("Plymouth" ASX:PLH) subsidiary Tonsley Mining Pty Limited ("Tonsley") and Sacyr, S.A, the IBEX 35 Spanish listed multinational infrastructures and services company. This investment was in line with Reabold's strategy to identify strategic mineral opportunities with the potential to add significant shareholder value.

The initial investment in the Project was affected through a share subscription agreement in the amount of AUD$500,000 to acquire a minority interest of approx. 2.0% in Tonsley, an Australian special purpose holding company which owns the rights to earn up to a 75% interest in the Project. After an agreed amount of time between the Parties or in the event no interest is earned by Tonsley (or its subsidiary) in the Project, there was an agreed contractual mechanism (by way of options) for the AUD$500,000 funds to be returned to the Company.

Tonsley has the right to earn a 75% interest in the Project by spending EUR1.5 million for a first stage 50%, then EUR2.5 million for the additional 25%, which is being funded by Plymouth.

On 25 May 2017, Plymouth announced the Project's maiden lithium (Li) mineral resource in accordance with the

JORC Code.   The announcement included the following (Source: PLH ASX announcement 25 May 2017): 
   --    resource contains an estimated 1.3M tonnes of lithium carbonate; 

-- combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at a 0.10% Li cut-off of 92.3Mt at 0.6% Li2O lithium oxide) and 0.02% Sn (tin);

-- combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at a 0.35% Li cut-off of 16.5Mt at 0.9% Li2O (lithium oxide) and 0.04% Sn (tin);

   --    proven simple process flow-sheet and metallurgy to saleable lithium carbonate; 
   --    deposit is open along strike and at depth; and 
   --    large exploration target with the potential to double the maiden mineral resource. 

Placement

On 19 April 2017, the Company announced the arrangement of subscriptions totalling GBP367,500 for 73,500,000 new Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each at a price of 0.5p per share to fund the investment in Tonsley Mining and for working capital purposes.

Post Balance Sheet Date

On 17 July 2017, the Company announced that it had delivered to Plymouth a Notice of Exercise of Put Option in respect of Reabold's interest in Tonsley, whereby Reabold wouldtransfer back to Plymouth its shares in Tonsley in consideration of receipt of A$500,000 (GBP300,000), payable on 18 July 2017. Whilst the Tonsley investment represented an interesting opportunity for Reabold, it was decided that this would not form a long term asset for Reabold and therefore that Reabold should exercise its put option and redeploy the money on other investments.

On 14 September 2017, the Company announced it is in discussions regarding a significant placing to provide the Company with additional funds to invest in accordance with its investing policy, and a further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

Financial Review

The loss of the Company for the 6 months ended 30 June 2017 was GBP70,000 (2016: loss of GBP55,000) in line with expectations. The net assets as at 30 June 2017 were GBP804,000 (2016: GBP569,000).

As at 30 June 2017, the Company had cash of GBP353,000.

Outlook

Having successfully raised further capital and being in discussions regarding a significant placing to provide the Company with additional funds to invest in accordance with its investing policy, the Board is moving forward positively to drive shareholder value through the investment strategy. Whilst the Board believes there are positive cyclical investment opportunities in resources stocks, they may be subject to significant volatility in financial markets and commodity prices, as well as other potential risk areas, including operational, geological, environmental, sovereign issues and access to capital. The Board will evaluate investment opportunities in other sectors as they arise. The Board is positive towards the outlook for quality investment opportunities.

The Board looks forward to reporting further in due course.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2017

   1.     Basis of preparation 

These interim financial statements have been prepared using policies based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as adopted for use in the EU. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report. The financial information for the half years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and is unaudited.

The annual financial statements of Reabold Resources Plc are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2016 included within this report does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The statutory Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on that Annual Report and Financial Statement for 2016 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company have adequate resources and support from key shareholders to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly financial statements.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in these condensed financial statements as were applied in the Company's latest annual audited financial statements, with additional information in respect of significant accounting policies disclosed below.

The IASB has issued a number of IFRS and IFRIC amendments or interpretations since the last annual report was published. It is not expected that any of these will have a material impact on the Company.
