Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present our Interim Report for the six-month period ended 31 March 2019.
Following my 2018 annual report to shareholders we received the unwelcome news, in January this year, that the Mining Inspector in Sweden had rejected our Mine Permit application for the Storuman Fluorspar Project, siding with the view of the County Administration that the proposed mine tailings site could not coexist with traditional herding activities in that area. The Company and its legal team strongly believes that the Mining Inspector has not properly considered the Company's submission on avoidance and mitigating measures and so, this month, we submitted an appeal of the decision to the Swedish Government together with a letter of support from the local Storuman municipal government. We await the outcome.
We are continuing our scoping level work on the large MB Fluorspar Project in Nevada, USA, where a programme of metallurgical testwork is in progress to address metallurgical complexities in those deposits that have been considered for early production. The project contains multiple zones of fluorspar mineralisation with different metallurgical characteristics and consideration is being given to a further drill programme to test for high-grade and metallurgically more-amenable deposits.
The fluorspar market remains strong and we continue to enjoy the support of global trading commodities group Possehl in the continuing evaluation of our fluorspar projects. However, the Board recognises that, whilst its key fluorspar deposits are large and potentially valuable, the current development hurdles have progressively eroded investor interest in the Company. The Board is actively addressing this and in the past few months we have been advancing a programme of low-cost mineral exploration and claim staking in the western USA to expand and diversify the Company's project portfolio and lower the Company's exposure to commodity and permitting risk.
The first of these projects - Paymaster, in Nevada - was staked to cover high-grade base metal-silver-cobalt-tellurium surface showings in a skarn environment in the highly productive Walker Lane mineral belt. Similar geological environments host world-class base and precious-metal deposits elsewhere in the western USA.
The Company is now pleased to announce the results of a soil sampling programme at Paymaster where significant values of silver, copper, cobalt, lead and zinc have been found over a strike length of 2km. Values of over half an ounce of silver per ton and 0.2% lead in soil are standout results. Follow up work is now planned to define drill targets.
Our most recent project acquisition is the Pyramid Gold Project in Nevada where we have secured an option to purchase a group of patented mining claims containing high-grade epithermal gold mineralisation which was discovered by drilling in the 1980s but never followed up. The scope of this exciting target is highlighted by an associated 750m long gold-in-soil anomaly and widespread gold-bearing surface samples. Nevada is ranked as the best mining jurisdiction in the world by the Frazer Institute and such targets are hard to find in this mature exploration province. We hope to move quickly to carry out confirmatory and follow-up drilling.
We continue to watch with interest the progress of Aurion Resources in Finland where our pre-production and net smelter royalty interests in two gold projects held by Aurion have been brought into sharper focus by Aurion's high-grade gold discoveries on the neighbouring Risti project. Aurion has a large land package and is being supported financially by large gold producer Kinross Gold Corporation.
The Company's financial results for the half-year are in line with expectations and largely reflect the Company's project and administration expenditures and enabling fundraising.
My expectation is that the Company's recent initiatives in Nevada, USA, will result in a higher level of news flow and investor interest than has been the case in the past several months and so look forward to keeping shareholders informed of further developments.

Notes to the Interim Statement
1. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that are expected to be adopted in the Group's full financial statements for the year ending 30 September 2019 which are not expected to be significantly different to those set out in Note 1 of the Group's audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2018. These are based on the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS in issue as adopted by the European Union (EU) or that are expected to be adopted and effective at 30 September 2019. The implementation of new standards and interpretations has not led to any changes in the Group's accounting policies (other than presentation and disclosure) or had any other material impact on its financial position. The financial information has not been prepared (and is not required to be prepared) in accordance with IAS 34. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of this financial information.
The financial information in this statement relating to the six months ended 31 March 2019 and the six months ended 31 March 2018 has neither been audited nor reviewed by the Auditors, pursuant to guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board. The financial information presented for the year ended 30 September 2018 does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2018 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year ended 30 September 2018 was unqualified, although did draw attention to matters by way of emphasis in relation to going concern, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors prepare annual budgets and cash flow projections for a 15 month period. These projections include the proceeds of future fundraising necessary within the period to meet the Company's and Group's planned discretionary project expenditures and to maintain the Company and Group as a going concern. Although the Company has been successful in raising finance in the past, there is no assurance that it will obtain adequate finance in the future. This represents a material uncertainty related to events or conditions which may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the directors have a reasonable expectation that they will secure additional funding when required to continue meeting corporate overheads and exploration costs for the foreseeable future and therefore believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements.
2. Loss per share
Loss per share has been calculated on the attributable loss for the period and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

Basic and diluted loss per
share (pence) (0.05) (0.04) (0.65)
============================ ============= ============= =================
The loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares used for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share are identical to those used to calculate the basic earnings per ordinary share. This is because the exercise of share warrants would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share and is therefore not dilutive under the terms of IAS33.
3. Share capital
During the six months to 31 March 2019 the following share issues took place:
An issue of 83,333,333 0.01p Ordinary Shares at 0.3p per share, by way of a placing, for a total consideration of GBP250,000 before expenses (25 January 2019).
An issue of 418,578 0.01p Ordinary Shares at 0.325p per share, to a director, in satisfaction of outstanding directors' fees, for a total consideration of GBP1,360 (21 February 2019).
