Interim Results

Condor Resources PLC 29 November 2006 29th November 2006 Condor Resources plc ('Condor' or 'the Company') Unaudited Interim Results for the six months ended 31st August 2006 Condor (AIM: CNR) announces unaudited accounts for the six month period ended 31st August 2006. The Company has had an active period since listing on the 31st May 2006 and has further developed its core Central American exploration properties with continued exploration on lead projects and review of potential new licences. Highlights: • The consolidated net loss after taxation of the Group in respect of the 6 months ended 31st August 2006 amounted to £362, 945. • Loss per share 0.28p. • The net assets of the Group amounted to approximately £8,241,956 as at the 31st August 2006. • Reporting of excellent drill results from the El Potosi Project in El Salvador including 5m at 9.23g/t Au from 57m depth, 1m at 5.34g/t Au from 71m depth both in PTRC017 and 1.83m at 22.15g/t Au from PTDT013 including 0.66m at 52.9g/t Au. • Engagement of three additional expatriate technical staff and four local technical staff. • Commissioning of the Nicaraguan operations office. • Award of the 42.5km(2) El Gigante licence in El Salvador to further consolidate the Pescadito Project area covering several significant historical gold and silver workings. • Commencement of diamond drilling at the Loma del Caballo Prospect. Post Period Highlights: • Securing the Kuikuinita and Columbus Projects in Nicaragua where Condor geologists have indications of porphyry copper-gold style mineralisation. Commenting on the results, Mark Child, Chairman of Condor Resources, commented: 'During the period under review the Company achieved a successful listing on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange on 31st May 2006 and raised £4.85m. Condor focused its exploration activities on two countries; El Salvador and Nicaragua. The Company's objective is to prove up significant gold and silver resources of between 1 to 2 million ounces of gold and 30 to 50 million ounces of silver to JORC reportable standards by the 31st May 2008. The funds that Condor raised on AIM have allowed us to put in place further building blocks to achieve this objective. To this end, we have significantly increased the number of experienced geologists and technical staff in both countries. All concessions have been mapped and rock chip sampled. Over 3,000 metres of trenches have been excavated and drilling has commenced on the Loma del Caballo Prospect in El Salvador. Further detailed drill campaigns are planned; and indeed the Company has budgeted for up to 40,000 metres of drilling over the next 18 months. The strategy is to identify one or two major commercial resources in each country. As part of the ongoing assessment of concessions, Condor has returned four concessions to the original owners and taken on a further three concessions, leaving us with three project areas in El Salvador and three project areas in Nicaragua. The recent drill and trench results, showing up to 1.5 ounces of gold per tonne are most encouraging and our geologists are confident of significantly increasing the gold and silver resources in the short, medium and long term.' Chief Executive Officer's Statement During the reporting period, the Company made excellent progress operationally on its core El Salvadoran and Nicaraguan gold and silver assets. On the completion of a successful listing process to raise £4.85 million, the Company was able to establish operational bases in Nicaragua and further establish itself in El Salvador. A further 7 technical and 3 administrative staff have been employed since listing, taking staff numbers to 14. This will greatly assist the Company to fulfil its objective of proving up its stated resource objectives to JORC reportable standards by the 31st May 2008. The Company was also able to report exciting drill results from the El Potosi Project in El Salvador where three main quartz veins of approximately 600 metres strike length covering the historical El Potosi gold workings were tested. Best intercepts of 5m at 9.23g/t gold from 57m depth; 1m at 5.34g/t gold from 71m depth, both in PTRC017 and 1.83m at 22.15g/t gold from PTDT013 including 0.66m at 52.9g/t gold indicate the prospect has potential for a medium tonnage high grade under ground resource. Elsewhere in El Salvador, focussed work programmes during the reporting period have revealed the El Pescadito, La Calera and El Potosi projects in El Salvador and the San Albino Project in Nicaragua as priority targets for further exploration with very encouraging results reported to date. The Company was also awarded the El Gigante licence in El Salvador, which further consolidates the El Pescadito Project and covers an area of some 42.5km (2) containing several significant historical gold and silver workings. Initial trench results at the La Calera Project to test the three main veins systems (Rosa, Rosa West and Calichal) has exposed significant quartz stock-work systems that give the Company further encouragement of a significant mineralised system. Assay results for the trenches completed on a central 600 metre strike length zone are awaited. Follow-up trenching is in progress to further infill ' gap' areas between veins and also further along strike, where similar mineralisation is expected. Excellent gold assay continue to be reported from the San Albino Prospect from four target areas containing numerous historical workings. Staff geologists are highly encouraged by the intensity of quartz veining carrying significant gold mineralisation. These main target areas are to be tested further with an initial trenching programme, currently in progress and subsequent drilling testing of the targets. Post Period Highlights Condor commenced diamond drilling at the Loma del Caballo prospect where an Inferred Resource to JORC standards, of some 116,500 ounces of gold has already been reported. The Company is hopeful of extending this resource through this current drilling programme and initial drill hole geology indicates broad zones of silicic brecciation containing sulphide mineralisation. Field crews in Nicaragua have worked hard to follow-up on anomalous areas defined by previous explorers with four of the six licences, held under option with a local vendor, having had initial reviews completed on them. The Company considered that the results of the verification programme on the four licences, Chachagua, Cerro de Oro, Guapinol and El Gallo, did not meet with the Company's expectations and it was decided to return the licences to the vendors Chorti Holdings. The Company also secured two high quality projects after completing an extended and detailed due diligence process on the 26th October 2006. Both the Kuikuinita and Columbus projects, located in the north eastern quadrant of Nicaragua, hold significant potential as shown by previous explorers. The Company can earn an 80% interest in the licences through a mixture of cash payments and commitment to exploration over a three year period. Both projects hold untested potential and the Company is particularly excited about the prospects of the Columbus project returning significant value to its shareholders. This project includes the main target area of Cerro Columbus containing a zone of greisen alteration where gold occurs in a quartz-specularite breccia pipe. Previous trenching by Pila Gold Inc of Canada produced results of 2.26g/t Au over 19.5 metres and 1.43g/t Au over 13.35 metres with associated copper and molybdenum mineralisation. Both the initial data review and completed field work indicates the potential for a significant porphyry copper gold system. Financial The consolidated net loss after taxation of the Group in respect of the 6 months ended 31st August 2006 amounted to £362,945 (loss per share 0.28p). The Group's only source of income during the year arose from bank deposit interest, which amounted to £54,158. The net assets of the Group amounted to approximately £8,241,956 as at the 31st August 2006. Net cash was £3,708,772. Intangible assets relate to accumulated deferred exploration and evaluation costs in respect of the Group's exploration interests in El Salvador and Nicaragua. The Group's accounting policy is to capitalise these costs pending determination of the feasibility of the project to which they relate. Outlook In closing I should like to take this opportunity to thank our staff, shareholders, advisors and particularly our corporate partners for their excellent support during the initial establishment period since listing. I believe the Company now has the structure, staff, low cost base and access to adequate financial and exploration resources, such as drilling rigs, to succeed. Recent exploration results, including the drilling completed to date, have been most encouraging and I believe that the prospect of our team in Central America significantly increasing our resource base has never been better. We continue to focus our full efforts on the strategic objective of building a world-class junior mining company based on a core foundation of high quality projects and I strongly believe that we are well on track for that goal to be achieved through excellent technical exploration.
