Condensed Consolidated Annual Financial Results of for the year ended 31 December 2015

 

 

 

 14 June 2016

 

Kibo Mining plc ("Kibo" or the "Company") (AIM: KIBO; AltX: KBO), the mineral exploration and development company focused on coal, gold, nickel, and uranium projects in Tanzania is pleased to release its condensed consolidated annual financial results for the year ended 31 December 2015. The Company's Annual Report, which contains the full financial statements accompanying this announcement, is in the process of being printed and mailed to shareholders. A copy of this Annual Report will also be available from the Company's website at www.kibomining.com. Details of the date and venue for this year's AGM, which will take place towards the middle of July, will be announced shortly.
 

Louis Coetzee, CEO of the Kibo, commented today:

 

"We are pleased to present positive 2015 financial results at a pivotal time in Kibo's development. We are well on the way towards completing our Integrated Bankable Feasibility Study on the flagship Mbeya Coal to Power Project ("MCPP") in cooperation with our joint development partner, SEPCO III. The positive results from the reports completed during 2015 as outlined in our Annual Report, not only secured a Joint Development Agreement with SEPCO III, but moved Kibo towards becoming a more mature development company. This is well demonstrated by the Company's MCPP Project which has progressed to advanced feasibility status in less than a year. The Company also succeeded in getting all its remaining exploration projects back into active exploration status, and this includes the commencement of two Joint Ventures during 2015."

 

 

Comments from the Chairman, Christian Schaffalitzky:

 

"2015 saw our Company achieve several important milestones that I believe lay the foundations for us to graduate as a mining company from our formative years in exploration. We have reached this critical stage despite another tough year for commodities and a depressed market for mining equities.

 

The Company's main achievements are:

 

·    The near completion of definitive feasibility studies (DFS) on both the proposed coal mine and its dedicated power plant at our Mbeya Coal to Power Project (MCPP); and

·    The completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment on our Imweru gold project.

 

In parallel, we continued with exploration at Haneti, where the prospectivity for nickel, copper and platinum group metals was enhanced; and work commenced on our Morogoro gold and Pinewood uranium projects, with our joint venture partner, Metal Tiger plc.

 

Furthermore, the increase in the carrying value of intangible assets from GBP14.4 million at 31 December 2014 to GBP17.6 million at 31 December 2015 as a result of a reversal of previously recognised impairment reflects the significant progress made with regard to the MCPP."                                     .

5. Audit opinion

 

The consolidated annual financial statements were audited by the Company's auditors, Saffery Champness. The modified auditors report together with the financial statements is available for inspection at the Company's register offices. The modified auditors' report contains an emphasis of matter with regard to the realisation of certain assets, as follows:

 

Emphasis of Matter - Realisation of Assets

In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we considered the adequacy of disclosures made in Notes 11, 12 and 20 to the financial statements concerning the valuation of intangible assets, and investments in Group undertakings. The realisation of intangible assets of £17,596,105 (2014: £14,413,865), amounts due from Group undertakings of £27,712,269 (2014: £26,047,465) and investments in Group undertakings of £1,700,000 (2014: £1,700,000) included in the Company Statement of Financial Position are dependent on the discovery and economic exploitation of reserves including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects.

 

6. Subsequent events

 

The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since the reporting date which would have a material effect on the consolidated financial results.

 

7. Litigation

 

There are currently no arbitration proceedings against the Group, or of which the Group is aware, which may have, or have had in the 12 months preceding the date of this report, a material effect on the consolidated annual financial results.

 

8. Dividends

 

There have been no dividends declared or paid during the current financial period.

 

9. Going Concern

 

The consolidated annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business. The directors constantly review the business models of the Group and its operating subsidiaries to ensure sustainability and the ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows. Funding facilities are also reviewed regularly to ensure that the Group has sufficient facilities in place to finance its operations.

 

10. Basic, Dilutive and Headline Earnings per share

 

The basic and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share is as follows:

 

 

Year ended 31 December

2015 (£)  

Year ended 31 December

2014 (£)

Profit/ (Loss) for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent

177,162

2,125,004

      

 

 

Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and dilutive loss per share (revised)

316,986,334

193,400,160

 

 

 

Basic earnings/ (loss) per share

0.001

0.01

Dilutive earnings/ (loss) per share

0.001

0.01

 

 

As the exercise price of the share options and warrants in issue is higher than the current market value as at reporting date, these option and warrants do not have a dilutive impact. Thus there are no dilutive share options or warrants in issue as at year end which decreased the basic loss per share as indicated above.

Kibo Mining - Notes to editors

 

Kibo was established in early 2008 to explore and develop mineral deposits in Tanzania. The Company was admitted to AIM in London on 27 April 2010 and the AltX in Johannesburg on 30 May 2011. The Company is developing the Rukwa mouth-of-mine thermal power station and controls one of Tanzania's largest mineral right portfolios, including the Haneti (nickel, PGE and gold), Morogoro (gold), Lake Victoria (gold), and Pinewood (coal & uranium) projects.

 

Its projects are located both in the established and gold prolific Lake Victoria Goldfields, the emerging goldfields of eastern Tanzania and the Mtwara Corridor in southern Tanzania where the Government has prioritised infrastructural development attracting significant recent investment in coal and uranium.

 

Kibo's objective is to build shareholder value sustainably. This will be achieved primarily through exploration of its own projects and leveraging the Company's experience in Tanzania to acquire exploration and development assets on competitive terms. The focus is on assets that can be moved swiftly up the value curve whilst benefitting from strategic relationships with industry leaders with special skills and competencies within their chosen fields.

 

Updates on the Company's activities are regularly posted on its website www.kibomining.com
