statement

Dear Shareholder,

Investments 

I  am  pleased  to  report  that  your  Company  has 
made significant progress during 2012  on both the 
corporate  and  exploration  fronts.  In    April    2012 
we  announced    the  acquisition  of  two  private 
companies,    Mzuri  Energy  Ltd  and  Mayborn 
(Pty)  Limited.  These 
Resource 
acquisitions required the suspension of our shares 
on  AIM  and  the  JSE  on  the  11th  May  2012,  re-
admission on the 15th August 2012 and approval 
by  Shareholders  at  EGM  on  the  6th  September 
2012.  The  transaction  was  formally  completed 
on  the  1st  October  2012  and  brings  to  your 
Company  substantial  coal  and  uranium  assets 
which  complement  our  existing  gold  and  base 
metal projects. Kibo is now positioned as a major 
multi-commodity mineral explorer and developer 
in  Tanzania.  The  transaction  was  accompanied 
by  changes  on  our  Board  with  the  resignation  of 
William  Payne  and  Des  Burke  (Des  resigned  in 
January 2013) and the appointment of Cecil Bond 
and  Bernard  Poznanski.  I  wish  to  thank  William 
and  Des  for  their  valuable  contribution  to  Kibo 
during their directorships.

Exploration

Exploration  on  our  Tanzanian  mineral  projects 
continued  throughout  the  15  month  reporting 
period commencing with the implementation of a 
Stage 1 exploration programme in the last quarter 
of  2011  and  continuing  throughout  2012.  Our 
exploration  teams  have  now  defined  trenching 
and  drill  targets  at  the  Lake Victoria,  Haneti  and 
Morogoro  projects.  I  am  particularly  pleased  that 
our  Haneti    Ni-PGM-Gold  project  has    attracted 
the  attention  of  major  Brazilian 
industrial 
group,  Votorantim  Metaís  Participações  Ltda 
(“Votorantim”),    resulting  in  our    announcement 
of a Joint Venture  on the 12 December 2012. The 
joint  venture  provides  an  option  for  Votorantim 

to  expend  GBP  2.7  million  on  exploration  over  a 
three-year  period  to  earn  a  50%  interest  in  the 
project  and  I  am  glad  to  report  that  as  I  write 
(June  2013),  our  field  team  in  conjunction  with 
Votorantim  have  commenced  field  operations.  A 
budget of £0.5M will be expended at Haneti during 
the remainder 2013. 

Equally encouraging is the recent inclusion of the 
Company’s Rukwa Coal to Power Project (“Rukwa”) 
as  a  strategic  component  of  the  Tanzanian 
Government’s  National  Energy  Strategy  and  its 
commitment  to  proactively  support  development 
of  the  infrastructure  to  support  the  project. 
Securing  Tanzanian  Government  support  for 
the  project  has  been  a  major  milestone  in  our 
development path and this has increased the level 
of  interest  from  third  parties  wishing  to  become 
partners in the project. Therefore, the Company’s 
announcement on the 24th April 2013 that it has 
selected  Korean  East West  Power  Co.  Ltd  (“EWP”), 
a  globally  operating  power  company  owned  by 
the  South  Korean  Government,  as  its  preferred 
development  partner  at  Rukwa  is  another  major 
step.  The  board  looks  forward  to  negotiating  a 
definitive partnership agreement with EWP to the 
benefit of all stakeholders, not least for Tanzania 
for  which  Rukwa  should  make  a  valuable 
contribution  towards  addressing  the  country’s 
future energy needs.

In  order  to  best  manage  its  resources  for  2013, 
your  Company  has  prioritised  the  Rukwa  and 
Haneti  projects  and  is  deferring  any  significant 
exploration  work  at  Lake  Victoria,  Morogoro  and 
Pinewood to 2014. A Scoping Study at Rukwa will 
commence  during  the  second  half  of  2013  which 
will run in parallel with completing a full strategic 
partnership  agreement  with  EWP.  Exploration  at 
Haneti, fully funded by Votorantim, will continue 
for  the  remainder  of  2013  and  it  is  planned  to 

KIBO MInIng PLC AnnuAL RePORt And ACCOunts 2012   iv

chairman’s
statement

commence  initial  drilling  at  the  project  later  in 
2013  or  early  in  2014.  As  a  further  measure  to 
reduce costs and focus on priority areas, the Board 
has recently elected to relinquish almost 50% of its 
grass roots exploration interests (includes licences, 
offers  and  applications)  across  all  projects  save 
for Rukwa. The majority of this ground comprises 
early  stage  licence  applications  considered  by 
Company  geologists  as  low  priority  from  desktop 
and field assessments. This need for the Company 
to implement this reduction in our licence portfolio 
results  both  from  recent  substantial  increases  in 
licence rental costs in Tanzania and the imperative 
to focus resources on priority areas which offer the 
greatest chance of exploration success.

Corporate

The financial accounts cover the 15-month period 
to the 31 December 2012. This follows our decision 
to change the Company’s financial year end from 
30 September to 31 December and so align it with 
the calendar year and with the financial year ends 
of the Group’s non-Irish subsidiaries. 
The  challenging  global  economic  conditions  and 
turbulent  markets  of  2011  continued  into  2012, 
making  it  a  difficult  year  for  the  exploration  and 
mining  sector.    Junior  exploration  companies 
found  it  particularly  difficult  to  raise  equity 
funds  and  had  to  accept  funding  at  severely 
discounted  prices  or  through  alternative  funding 
methods,  all  of  which  contributed  to  significant 
shareholder  dilution  and  value  erosion  in  many 
instances.  Unfortunately,  Kibo  was  not  immune 
to  this  adverse  macroeconomic  environment 
and  we  saw  a  decline  in  our  share  price  during 
the  year  to  levels  that  we  do  not  believe  reflect 
in  our  mineral  assets. 
the 
Consequently,  we  found  it  increasingly  difficult 
throughout 2012 to raise funds for our exploration 
and  development  programmes  to  match  our 
ambitious implementation schedule.  However, we 

inherent  value 

are  fortunate  to  have  the  support  of  our  largest 
shareholder,  Mzuri  Capital  Group  Limited,  which 
fully subscribed to a £750,000 Placing in February 
2012.  This  allowed  us  to  implement  first  stage 
exploration  programmes  over  our  substantial 
Tanzanian  mineral  licence  portfolio  over  the 
reporting  period.  Broker  sponsored  placings  of 
£750,000  in  January  2013  and  £780,000  in  April 
2013, together with funds of £50,000 drawn downs 
under our SEDA agreement with Yorkville Advisors, 
are  allowing  us  to  continue  advancing  both  our 
near-term corporate and exploration objectives in 
the early part of 2013, albeit at a slower pace that 
we had planned.

In conclusion, while acknowledging the challenging 
economic  environment  in  which  your  company 
now operates, I remain confident that our mineral 
assets  present  an  attractive  investment  option, 
particularly  bolstered  by  our  109  million  tonne 
Rukwa coal deposit and plans to develop a mouth 
of mine thermal coal plant.  I would like to thank 
our  shareholders  for  their  continued  support  as 
we  strive  to  bring  this  project  to  fruition.    Also  I 
would like to thank our CEO, Louis Coetzee and his 
management  team  for  their  substantial  work  in 
successfully completing our corporate acquisitions 
during  2012  while  simultaneously  keeping  field 
exploration  moving  forward.  Louis  now  has  the 
challenging  task  of  leading  the  team  in  realising 
value  across  all  our  commodity  streams  in  2013 
and beyond.

Introduction

2012 marked a further expansion of the Company’s 
commitment  to Tanzania  with  the  acquisition  of 
a  significant  in-situ  thermal  coal  resource  of  109 
million  tonnes,  the  Rukwa  deposit,  and  a  large 
early stage uranium and coal licence project, the  
Pinewood project . Both projects are located in the 
south of Tanzania in a region which the Tanzanian 
Government  has  prioritised  for  infrastructural 
development owing to its demonstrated potential 
for  the  discovery  of  large  coal  and  uranium 
deposits.  The  Tanzania  Government  considers 
the  development  of  these  minerals  and  the 
construction  of  accompanying  power  generating 
plants (nuclear and thermal coal) through public 
private partnerships as a cornerstone of its strategy 
to  address  the  current  and  increasing  shortage 
of  power  generating  capacity  within  the  country 
as  demand  outpaces  supply.  Kibo  acquired  these 
projects  through  the  reverse  takeover  of  private 
Canadian  and  South  African  companies,  Mzuri 
Energy  Ltd  and  Mayborn    Resource  Investments 
(Pty)  Ltd    respectively,  a  transaction  completed 
in  October  2012  following  a  re-admission  of  the 
Company’s  shares  on  AIM  and  the  JSE  in  August 
2012.

The  Rukwa  deposit  provides  Kibo  with  its  most 
advanced  project  and  underpins  its  strategy  to 
develop  a  coal  mine  in  conjunction  with  a  300-
350 megawatt mouth of mine thermal coal plant. 
This ambitious and capital intensive development 
will  require  the  support  of  both  well-funded  and 
experienced thermal coal plant operators through 

joint  venture  with  Kibo  and  the  support  of  the 
Tanzanian Government. The Company has shown 
substantial  progress  on  these  two  fronts  during 
2012.  In  May  2012,  the  Company  announced 
the  signing  of  a  Memo  of  Understanding  (MOU)  
between  Mzuri  Energy  Ltd  (now  100%  Kibo 
subsidiary) and  an unnamed Asian conglomerate 
to  negotiate  a  definitive  agreement  on  becoming 
Kibo’s  development  partner  on  the  Rukwa  Power 
project. Kibo also continued to keep the Tanzanian 
Government  updated  on  its  plans  during  2012 
and  following  an  invitation  and  presentation 
to  senior  officials  at  the  Tanzanian  Ministry  of 
Energy,  the  Company    received  a  formal  letter  of 
support  for  the  project  on  the  8th  March  2013. 
This letter  states  that the Rukwa Coal to Power 
project will be  included as a strategic component 
of  the  Government’s  National  Energy  Strategy. 
Furthermore  the  Government  confirmed  that   
would participate proactively in the establishment 
of  the  necessary  infrastructure  in  the  Mbeya 
region  to  support  the  project  and  that  it  would 
support the expedited development of the project 
with  Kibo  and  its  chosen  development  partner. 
This  Government  support  marks  a  significant 
boost  for  the  project  and  drew  interest  from  a 
number  of  potential  development  partners.  As 
the exclusivity period on the MOU with the Asian 
conglomerate has now expired, the Company has 
recently (April 2013) signed a letter of Intent with a 
South Korean Government owned power producer 
EWP to become its  preferred development partner 
at Rukwa.

Rukwa Coal Project

The  Rukwa  coal  project  is  located  in  southern 
Tanzania 70 kilometres north of the regional town 
of Mbeya and bordering Lake Rukwa. It comprises 
two  Prospecting  Licences  and  two  Prospecting 
Licence  Applications  forming  a  contiguous  block 
of  1,500  km2.  The  PLs  contain  a  JORC-Inferred 
thermal  coal  resource  of  109  million  tonnes. The 
coal is located within Karoo Age  rocks of the Songwe 

Basin  and  comprises  seven  coal  seams  striking 
Northwest  and  dipping  at  30  degrees  Northeast. 
Seam thicknesses vary between 0.5 -5 metres and 
have been drilled in detail over a strike length of 
9  kilometres.  The  resource  was  discovered  and 
drilled out by Mzuri Energy Limited in the period 
2008 -2011. The prospective stratigraphy at Rukwa 
continues  to  the  northwest  and  southeast  and 
Kibo is confident that it can significantly increase 
the current resource by additional drilling.

Rukwa Coal Resource – Prepared by Gemecs (Ltd) of South Africa (April 2012)

Rukwa Coal to Power Project

The  Rukwa  coal  resource  provides  the  basis  for 
Kibo’s medium term objective to develop the coal 
resource  in  conjunction  with  a  mouth  of  mine 
power plant. The recent support of the Tanzanian 
Government  for  the  project    and  the  selection 
of  South  Korean  Government  owned  mult-
national  power  company  EWP  mark    significant 
milestones  on  the  Company’s  path  to  develop 
Rukwa. Tanzanian  Government  support  is  key  to 
the  development  of  the  project  as  a  number  of 
licencing  permits  will  need  to  be  negotiated  for 

the  development  to  proceed  and    will  include 
both an independent power producer licence and 
a  power  purchase  agreement  with  the  relevant 
Tanzanian authorities. The Company is benefitting 
from the fact that  Rukwa is located in  southern 
Tanzania  close to the Mtwara Corridor project, a 
multi-national  co-operation  agreement  between 
Tanzania,  Malawi  and  Zambia  that  plans  to  link 
lake  ports  on  Lake  Nyassa  in  the  east  with  the 
Indian ocean port of Mtwara in the west. This will 
focus  strategic  infrastructure  investment  inthis 
part of Tanzania and within the bordering regions

of the other participant countries. The anticipated 
increase  in  energy  mineral  development  in  this 
part of Africa provides significant impetus to these 
infrastructural  developments.    The  inclusion  of 
the  Rukwa  Coal  to  Power  project  as  a  strategic 
component  of  the  Government’s  National  Energy 
Strategy and its commitment to proactively support 
development  of  the  infrastructure  to  support  the 
project  integrates  Kibo’s  development  plans  with 
the  Government’s  own  regional  development 
plans for southern Tanzania.

Lake Victoria Project

The  Lake Victoria  Goldfield  is Tanzania’s  primary 
gold  producing  region  and  the  third  largest 
goldfield in Africa after the Witwatersrand (South 
Africa)  and  Tarkwa  (Ghana).  It  is  the  source  of 
most  of  Tanzania’s  official  gold  production  of 
approximately  40  tonnes  per  year  (Central  Bank 

of  Tanzania,  2011  production),    predominantly 
from its two world class gold deposits, Bulyanhulu 
and  Geita.  Kibo  has  inherited  a  large  tenement 
position  in  this  region  through  its  acquisition 
of  Mzuri  Gold  Limited  in  early  2011comprising 
2,716  square  kilometres  of  prospecting  licences 
and  prospecting  licence  applications.  During  the 
reporting    period,  the  Company  undertook  field 
exploration programmes over many of these areas 
as part of its Stage 1 exploration  commencing in 
October  2011.  Desktop  and  field  evaluation  work 
included,  regional  aeromagnetic  interpretation, 
soil  sampling,  prospecting,  geological  mapping 
and  inspection  of  active  and  historic  artisanal 
workings.  Most  field  survey  activity  was  carried 
out  within  the  Mhangu  Block  in  the  eastern  part 
of the project following up on existing anomalous 
soil results from previous surveys.

areas  was  in-fill  shallow  soil  sampling  surveys 
to  resolve  in  more  detail  gold-in-soil  anomalies 
identified  from  regional  soil  sampling  surveys 
carried out during 2008 by the previous operators.  
Prospecting  licences  (PLs)  sampled  comprise  PL 
6283/2010,  PL  7589/2010,  PL  7590/2012  on  the 
Mhangu Block and and PL 5243/2008 on the Central 
Block. Approximately 1,200 samples were taken on 
these PLs for gold and multi-element analyses.  The 
results outlined a number of gold-in-soil anomalies  
on the Mhangu Block coinciding in part with banded 
ironstone ridges and  the Company has established 
targets  for  trenching  and  drilling. The  soil  results 
from  PL  5243/2008  on  the  Central  Block  were  not 
anomalous.    Based  on  the  encouraging  results 
from the infill soil sampling on the Mhangu Block, 

follow up programmes  of trenching, sampling and 
further  soil  sampling  programmes  were  initiated 
during the last quarter of 2012.  Further field work 
during  2013  at  Lake Victoria  has  been    postponed 
until  2014  in  line  with  the  Company’s  strategy  of 
focusing resources on the Rukwa project. 

Concurrent  with  field  exploration,  the  Company 
concluded a desktop and field evaluation of its entire 
mineral right portfolio across all projects during the 
review period.  In support of cost containment, Kibo 
is currently reducing its overall tenement position 
on Lake Victoria and its other projects  which will 
result in a significant reduction in its total licence 
area than shown on the accompany project  maps 
which are current at  the reporting period end of 31 
December 2012.

Haneti Project

The  Haneti  Project,  located  between  Tanzania’s 
official  capital  Dodoma  and  the  regional  town  of 
Singida  comprises  an  approximate  7,000  square 
kilometre contiguous block of licences. The  project 
straddles  a  major  sheared  contact  zone  between 

the  Archaean  age  (>2.5  billion  years)  Tanzanian 
Craton to the southwest and a Proteozoic age (~0.5 
to 2.5 billion years) orogenic belt to the northeast. 
The primary exploration target is Ni-PGM-Cu style 
mineralisation within the  Haneti Itiso Ultramafic 
Complex,  a  70  to  80  kilometres  belt  of  mafic  and 
ultramafic rocks located in the west of the project

area. Kibo’s field work over the last few years has 
provided significant encouragement for  this style 
of  mineralisation  both  as  primary  sulphide,    and 
nickel  laterite  within  the  regolith.  During  2012, 
Kibo continued to advance the project and carried 
out  pitting  and  ground  geophysical  surveys    as 
part  of  its    Stage  1  exploration  programme.  This 
pitting  survey  comprised  14  hand  dug    test  pits 
over an area of 10 square kilometres in the central 
part of the belt with the objective of characterising 
the laterite profile and testing for economic nickel 
grades.    The  pit  profiles  showed  poor  laterite 
development with low nickel grades  and bedrock 
was  encountered  at  shallow  depths  of  less  than 
5  metres.  These  results  indicated  poor  potential 
for  economic  laterite  mineralisation  over  this 
small  test  area,  but  as  the  test  area  represents 
just  10%  of  the  ~80  km  long  target  zone,  the 
potential  for  the  discovery  of  economic  grades 
and volumes of nickel laterite mineralisation has 
not been discounted. The results from the ground 
geophysical  surveying  (Ground  EM  &  magnetics) 
were  more  promising  and  results  indicated  two 

NW-SE  trending  conductors  of  800m  and  400m 
in  length  respectively  at  the  Mwaka  Hill  locality 
where  Kibo  had  already  encountered  anomalous 
nickel  from  soil  sampling  and  trenching  during 
earlier  exploration.  At  Mihanza  Hill,  where  the 
Company  has  previously  reported  results  of  up 
to 13% nickel and 2.3 grams  per tonne combined 
platinum  and  palladium,  a  large  formational 
conductor  has  been  indicated.  This  conductor 
is  likely  to  be  associated  with  serpentinised 
ultramafics but  there may also be  an  association 
with nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Haneti  with  Brazilian  industrial  conglomerate, 
Votorantim 
the 
Company’s  belief  in  the  mineral  potential  of 
Haneti and gives a renewed impetus to exploration. 
Votorantim  is  obliged  to  spend  £500,000  on 
exploration during 2013 on the project. This is the 
initial  commitment  under  the  JV  which  requires 
Votorantim  to  expend  a  total  £2.7  million  over  a 
three  year  period    at  which  point  it  will  have  an 
option to vest a 50% interest in the project.

Morogoro North Project

The  Morogoro  North  project  is  located  north 
and  east  of  the  regional  centres  of  Morogoro 
and  Dodoma  respectively  and  comprises  a  total 
area  of  approximately  4,000  square  kilometres 
of  Prospecting  Licences  and  Prospecting  Licence 
Applications.  It  forms  the  northern  part  of  Kibo’s 
greater  Morogoro  project  which  also  includes 
Morogoro  South  discussed  below.  Morogoro 
represent a relatively new region of gold exploration 
in  Tanzania  not  historically  regarded  as  a  gold 
prospective  area  because  of  the  extensive  high 
grade  metamorphic  complexes  which  dominate 
the  geology.  Gold  discoveries  by  a  vanguard  of 
artisanal and small scale miners from about 2000 
onwards  has  re-focused  attention  on  the  region 
with  the  most  notable  high  profile  discovery  in 
recent  years  being    the    Handeni  (Magambazi) 
deposit  by  Canadian  company,  Canaco  Resources 
Ltd.

As part of its 2012 Stage 1 exploration programmes, 
Kibo undertook regional stream sediment sampling 
surveys  over  PLs  6717/2010  and  6598/2010  in  the 
southern  part  of  Morogoro  North.  The  survey 
encompassed  an  area  of  about  200  square 
kilometres  and  was  sampled  on  a  regional  basis 
first  followed  by  more  detailed  sampling  around 
anomalous 
initial  sampling 
results produced a number of low level anomalies, 
detailed  sampling  around  these  anomalies  gave 
disappointing  results  and  these  PLs  are  being  re-
evaluated to ascertain if further work is warranted.

locations.  While 

The areas sampled to date represent less than 5% 
of  the  total  Morogoro  North  tenement  areas  and 
sampling programmes ended  in the last quarter of 
2012  will not now resume until 2014 in line  with 
the Company’s strategy of prioritising resources to 
the Rukwa project.

Morogoro South Project

The Morogoro South project is located south and 
west  of  Morogoro  and  comprises  a  total  area  of 
4,900  square  kilometres  of  Prospecting  Licences 
and  Prospecting  Licence  Applications.  Similar 
to  Morogoro  North,  the  geology  is  dominated  by 
high  grade  metamorphic  complexes  which  up  to 
recent  years  were  not  considered  prospective  for 
gold. Kibo’s work to date has concentrated on the 
southern part of the project (Uluguru  mountains)  
in an area where artisanal gold mining activity is 
on-going.  Specifically,  the  Company  has  targeted 
the Ruvu Nappe, a north-south trending geological 
structure  (thrust  fault  zone)  along  and  close  to 
which  occur  a  number  of  artisanal  alluvial  and 
hard  rock  gold  workings.  Kibo’s  licences  cover  an 
approximately  15  kilometre  strike  length  of  the 
gold prospective geological structure in this region. 
During  late  2011  and  2012,  as  part  of  its  Stage  1 
exploration programme, Kibo carried out regional 
and  detailed  soil  sampling  surveys,  prospecting 
surveys, and reconnaissance of artisanal workings 
over this area.

The results of Kibo’s field exploration during 2012 
are  encouraging  and,  most  significantly,  have 
resolved  a  well  defined  gold-in-soil  geochemical 
anomaly over an area of approximately 0.5 square 
kilometres on PL  5625/2009,  a licence  over which 
Kibo have an option with local company Comuta 
Advertising  Limited  to  earn  a  90%  interest.  The 
gold anomaly is open to the north and the south 
and  is  broadly  defined  on  values  in  the  range  20 
to  100  parts  per  billion  (ppb)  with  a  maximum 
value 551 ppb. The anomaly is also well correlated 
with anomalous arsenic, bismuth and antimony. A 
number  of  other  weaker  gold  anomalies  are  also 
defined  further  south  along  the  Ruvu  Nappe  and 
these  show  variable  correlation  with  anomalous 
arsenic,  bismuth,  antimony,  copper  and  barite. 
These  results  provide  ample  encouragement  for 
the Company to continue its work in this area and 
have  provide  targets  for  trenching  and  drilling 
which will commence in 2014.

this period).  As the Company’s  short term objective 
is  to  focus  resources  on    Rukwa,  exploration  on 
Pinewood will be deferred to 2014 at which time it is 
hoped that there will be a recovery in the uranium 
market  which  currently  is  at  a  very  low  level. 
Exploration  at  Pinewood,  when  it  does  commence 
will  initially  comprise  an  airborne  and  radiometric 
survey over some of the more prospective areas with 
subsequent field follow up of radiometric anomalies 
and identification of prospective coal bearing Karoo 
sequences by geological mapping and sampling.

Pinewood Project

The Pinewood project is located in southern Tanzania 
and comprises an  18,000 square kilometre portfolio 
of licences and applications prospective for uranium 
and  coal.  The  Company  has  divided  the  licences 
into  five  separate  blocks  based  on  geographic 
location.  The  geology  of  this  region  comprises 
early Precambrian basement rocks overlain by late 
Precambrian to Phanerozoic sedimentary  sequences. 
Of  these,  the  late  Carboniferous  to  Jurassic  Karoo 
sequences host significant coal deposits throughout 
Southern Africa and are also considered prospective 
for  Roll-Front  style  uranium  deposits.  Karoo  Age 
sequences  outcrop  to  variable  extents  on  most  of 
the licence blocks but it 
is  postulated  that  they 
may  be  preserved  to  a 
much  greater  extent

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

The Directors present their Annual Report together with the audited financial statements for the 15 month period 
ended 31 December 2012 of Kibo Mining Plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”). 
Principal Activity 

Kibo Mining Plc is a holding Company of a number of subsidiary multinational exploration companies. The primary 
activity  of  the  Group  is  the  acquisition,  exploration  and  development  of  coal  and  other  mineral  resources  in 
Tanzania. 
Review of Business and Future Developments 

As set out in the Chairman’s Report and review of activities, as well as continuing with its exploration program, the 
Group significantly increased its exploration ground holdings in Tanzania during the period through the acquisition 
of  Mzuri  Energy  Limited  and  its  subsidiary  undertakings  as  well  as  Mayborn  Resource  Investments  Proprietary 
Limited. 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The realisation of exploration and  evaluation assets is  dependent on the  discovery and successful development of 
economic mineral reserves and is subject to a number of significant potential risks summarised as follows: 

Commodity price fluctuations; 
Foreign exchange risks; 
Uncertainties over development and operational costs; 
Political and legal risks, including arrangements with governments for licences, profit sharing and taxation; 
Currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions; 
Foreign investment risks including increases in taxes, royalties and renegotiation of contracts; and 
Liquidity risks. 

In addition to the above there can be no assurance that current exploration program will result in profitable mining 
operations. 

The  recoverability  of  the  carrying  value  of  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful 
discovery  of  economically  recoverable  reserves,  the  achievement  of  profitable  operations,  and  the  ability  of  the 
Group  to  raise  additional  financing,  if  necessary,  or  alternatively  upon  the  Company’s  ability  to  dispose  of  its 
interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying 
value of the Group’s assets.  
Financial instrument risk 

The Company and Group are exposed to risks arising from financial instruments held. These are discussed in Note 
20. 
Strategic risk 

Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral acquisition opportunities throughout the world. As a result 
of this competition, the Group may be unable to acquire rights to exploit additional attractive mining properties on 
terms  it  considers  acceptable.  Accordingly,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Group  will  acquire  any  interest  in 
additional  operations  that  would  yield  reserves  or  result  in  commercial  mining  operations.  The  Group  expects  to 
undertake  sufficient  due  diligence  where  warranted  to  help  ensure  opportunities  are  subjected  to  proper 
evaluation. 
Commercial risk 

The  mining  industry  is  competitive  and  there  is  no  assurance  that,  even  if  commercial  quantities  of  minerals  are 
discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of such minerals. There can be no assurance that the quality of 
the  minerals  will  be  such  that  the  Group’s  properties  can  be  mined  at  a  profit.  Factors  beyond  the  control  of  the 
Group may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered.  Mineral prices are subject to volatile price changes 
from a variety of factors including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, global and 
regional  demand,  currency  exchange  fluctuations,  interest  rates  and  global  or  regional  consumption  patterns, 
speculative  activities  and  increased  production  due  to  improved  mining  and  production  methods.  Ultimately,  the 
Group expects that prior to a development decision; a project could be the subject of a feasibility analysis to ensure 
there exists an appropriate level of confidence in its economic viability.

KIBO MINING PLC 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Funding risk 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

In  the  past  the  Group  has  raised  funds  via  equity  contributions  from  new  and  existing  shareholders,  thereby 
ensuring  the  Company  remains  a  going  concern  until  such  time  that  revenues  are  earned  through  the  sale  or 
development  and  mining  of  a  mineral  deposit.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  such  funds  will  continue  to  be 
available on reasonable terms, or at all in future.  The directors regularly review cash flow requirements to ensure 
the Company can meet financial obligations as and when they fall due.  
Operational risk 

Mining operations are subject to hazards normally encountered in exploration, development and production. These 
include  unexpected  geological  formations,  rock  falls,  flooding,  dam  wall  failure  and  other  incidents  or  conditions 
which  could  result  in  damage  to  plant  or  equipment  or  the  environment  and  which  could  impact  any  future 
production throughout. Although it is intended to take adequate precautions to minimise risk, there is a possibility 
of  a  material  adverse  impact  on  the  Group’s  operations  and  its  financial  results.  The  Group  will  develop  and 
maintain policies appropriate to the stage of development of its various projects.  
Staffing and Key Personnel Risks 

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Group’s success. The number of persons skilled in the 
acquisition,  exploration  and  development  of  mining  properties  is  limited  and  competition  for  such  persons  is 
intense. While the Group has good relations with its employees, these relations may be impacted by changes in the 
scheme of labour relations which may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities. Adverse changes in 
such  legislation  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Group's  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial 
condition.  Staff  are  encouraged  to  discuss  with  management,  matters  of  interest  to  the  employees  and  subjects 
affecting day-to-day operations of the Group. 
Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development 

Development  of  the  Group’s  mineral  exploration  properties  is,  amongst  others,  contingent  upon  obtaining 
satisfactory  exploration  results  and  securing  additional  adequate  funding.  Mineral  exploration  and  development 
involves  substantial  expenses  and  a  high  degree  of  risk,  which  even  a  combination  of  experience,  knowledge  and 
careful evaluation may not be able to adequately mitigate. The degree of risk reduces substantially when a Group’s 
properties move from the exploration phase to the development phase.  

The  discovery  of  mineral  deposits  is  dependent  upon  a  number  of  factors  including  the  technical  skill  of  the 
exploration personnel involved.  The commercial viability of a mineral deposit, once discovered,  is also dependent 
upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  the  size,  grade  and  proximity  to  infrastructure,  metal  prices  and  government 
regulations, including regulations relating to royalties,  allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, 
and  environmental  protection.  In  addition,  several  years  can  elapse  from  the  initial  phase  of  drilling  until 
commercial operations are commenced. 
Political Stability 

The Group is conducting its activities in Tanzania.  The Directors believe that the Government of Tanzania supports 
the development of natural resources by foreign investors and actively monitor the situation.  However, there is no 
assurance that future political and economic conditions in  Tanzania will not result in the Government of  Tanzania 
adopting  different  policies  regarding  foreign  development  and  ownership  of  mineral  resources.    Any  changes  in 
policy  affecting  ownership  of  assets,  taxation,  rates  of  exchange,  environmental  protection,  labour  relations, 
repatriation of income and return of capital, may affect the Group’s ability to develop the projects. 
Uninsurable Risks 

The Group may become subject to liability for accidents, pollution and other hazards against which it cannot insure 
or  against  which  it  may  elect  not  to  insure  because  of  prohibitive  premium  costs  or  for  other  reasons,  such  as 
amounts which exceed policy limits. 
Results and Dividends  

The result for the period after providing for depreciation and  taxation amounted to a loss of £4,483,079 (restated 
2011: loss £2,449,007). 

During  the  period  the  Company  acquired  the  entire  interest  in  Mzuri  Energy  Limited  for  £20.4m  by  issuing 
680,297,733  ordinary  shares.  The  Company  also  acquired  the  entire  interest  of  Mayborn  Resource  Investments 
Proprietary Limited for £0.8m by issuing 26,666,667 ordinary shares, with effect from 1 October 2012.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Funding risk 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

KIBO MINING PLC 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Post Balance Sheet Events 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

In  the  past  the  Group  has  raised  funds  via  equity  contributions  from  new  and  existing  shareholders,  thereby 

ensuring  the  Company  remains  a  going  concern  until  such  time  that  revenues  are  earned  through  the  sale  or 

development  and  mining  of  a  mineral  deposit.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  such  funds  will  continue  to  be 

available on reasonable terms, or at all in future.  The directors regularly review cash flow requirements to ensure 

the Company can meet financial obligations as and when they fall due.  

Operational risk 

Mining operations are subject to hazards normally encountered in exploration, development and production. These 

include  unexpected  geological  formations,  rock  falls,  flooding,  dam  wall  failure  and  other  incidents  or  conditions 

which  could  result  in  damage  to  plant  or  equipment  or  the  environment  and  which  could  impact  any  future 

production throughout. Although it is intended to take adequate precautions to minimise risk, there is a possibility 

of  a  material  adverse  impact  on  the  Group’s  operations  and  its  financial  results.  The  Group  will  develop  and 

maintain policies appropriate to the stage of development of its various projects.  

Staffing and Key Personnel Risks 

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Group’s success. The number of persons skilled in the 

acquisition,  exploration  and  development  of  mining  properties  is  limited  and  competition  for  such  persons  is 

intense. While the Group has good relations with its employees, these relations may be impacted by changes in the 

scheme of labour relations which may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities. Adverse changes in 

such  legislation  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Group's  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial 

condition.  Staff  are  encouraged  to  discuss  with  management,  matters  of  interest  to  the  employees  and  subjects 

affecting day-to-day operations of the Group. 

Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development 

Development  of  the  Group’s  mineral  exploration  properties  is,  amongst  others,  contingent  upon  obtaining 

satisfactory  exploration  results  and  securing  additional  adequate  funding.  Mineral  exploration  and  development 

involves  substantial  expenses  and  a  high  degree  of  risk,  which  even  a  combination  of  experience,  knowledge  and 

careful evaluation may not be able to adequately mitigate. The degree of risk reduces substantially when a Group’s 

properties move from the exploration phase to the development phase.  

The  discovery  of  mineral  deposits  is  dependent  upon  a  number  of  factors  including  the  technical  skill  of  the 

exploration personnel involved.  The commercial viability of a mineral deposit, once discovered,  is also dependent 

upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  the  size,  grade  and  proximity  to  infrastructure,  metal  prices  and  government 

regulations, including regulations relating to royalties,  allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, 

and  environmental  protection.  In  addition,  several  years  can  elapse  from  the  initial  phase  of  drilling  until 

commercial operations are commenced. 

Political Stability 

The Group is conducting its activities in Tanzania.  The Directors believe that the Government of Tanzania supports 

the development of natural resources by foreign investors and actively monitor the situation.  However, there is no 

assurance that future political and economic conditions in  Tanzania will not result in the Government of  Tanzania 

adopting  different  policies  regarding  foreign  development  and  ownership  of  mineral  resources.    Any  changes  in 

policy  affecting  ownership  of  assets,  taxation,  rates  of  exchange,  environmental  protection,  labour  relations, 

repatriation of income and return of capital, may affect the Group’s ability to develop the projects. 

Uninsurable Risks 

The Group may become subject to liability for accidents, pollution and other hazards against which it cannot insure 

or  against  which  it  may  elect  not  to  insure  because  of  prohibitive  premium  costs  or  for  other  reasons,  such  as 

amounts which exceed policy limits. 

Results and Dividends  

The result for the period after providing for depreciation and  taxation amounted to a loss of £4,483,079 (restated 

2011: loss £2,449,007). 

During  the  period  the  Company  acquired  the  entire  interest  in  Mzuri  Energy  Limited  for  £20.4m  by  issuing

The Company has been informed that, in addition to the interests of the Directors, at 31 December 2012 and at the 
date of this report, the following shareholders own 3% or more beneficial interest of the issued share capital of the 
Company, which is considered significant for disclosure purposes in the Annual Report:

The Directors are not aware of any other holding of 3% or more of the share capital of the Company. 
Subsidiary Undertakings 

Details of the Company’s subsidiaries are set out in Note 18 to the financial statements. 
Political Donations 

During the period, the Group made no charitable or political contributions (2011: £ nil). 
Going Concern 

The Directors have reviewed budgets, projected cash flows and other relevant information, and on the basis of this 
review,  are  confident  that  the  Company  and  the  Group  will  have  adequate  financial  resources  to  continue  in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Additionally significant capital-raising subsequent to year end has 
provided  additional  cash  resources  in  order  to  ensure  prospecting  activities  are  continued  as  planned  without 
interruption.  For  additional  information  of  capital-raising  subsequent  to  year  end  refer  to  material  post  balance 
sheet events disclosed in Note 21 to the financial statements.  

The future of the Company and the Group is dependent on the successful future outcome of its short and medium 
term  ability  to  raise  new  equity  funding  and  the  successful  development  of  its  exploration  interests  and  of  the 
availability  of  further  funding  to  bring  these  interests  to  production.  The  Directors  consider  that  in  preparing  the 
financial statements they have taken into account all information that could reasonably be expected to be available. 
Consequently, they consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. 
Change in Accounting Policy 

During  the  current  financial  period  the  Company  and  Group  effected  a  change  in  accounting  policy  in  accordance 
with  IFRS  6:  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of  Mineral  Resources,  whereby  exploration  and  development  costs 
previously capitalised  have been  expensed. The change  in accounting policy is anticipated to produce reliable and 
more  relevant  information  about  the  effects  of  transactions,  other  events  or  conditions  on  the  Groups  financial 
position,  financial  performance  and  future  cash  flows.  This  adjustment  has  been  reflected  retrospectively  in  the 
financial  statements  in  terms  of  financial  reporting  framework.  The  summarised  effect  is  stipulated  in  the  table

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Dividends 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

There have been no dividends declared or paid during the current financial period (2011: £ nil). 
Change in the year end 

In order to align the year ends of the various Companies within the expanded Group the Company had decided to 
change its financial year end from 30 September to 31 December, providing more meaningful financial information 
to the stakeholders of the Kibo Group as at 31 December 2012. 
Corporate Governance Policy 

The Group subscribes to the values of good corporate governance at all levels and is committed to conduct business 
with  discipline,  integrity  and  social  responsibility.  In  terms  of  the  JSE  &  AIM  Listings  Requirements,  the  Group  is 
required to report in respect of the third King Report (“King III”) for its financial period ended 31 December 2012, 
on  the  extent  to  which  it  has  complied  with  the  principles  as  set  out  in  King  III.  The  Board  of  Directors  is  firmly 
committed to promoting Kibo Mining Plc’s adherence to the principles contained in the Code of Corporate Practices 
and Conduct as set out in the King III. The Code is constantly being reviewed and the directors are implementing the 
Code in a phased manner. The directors are committed to the implementation of the principles and non-compliance 
is limited to the matter listed in this report. 
Internal Audit 

The  Group  does  not  have  an  internal  audit  function.  Currently  the  operations  of  the  Group  does  not  warrant  an 
internal  audit  function,  however  the  Board  is  assessing  the  need  to  establish  an  internal  audit  department 
considering  future  prospects  as  the  Group’s  operations  increase.  During  the  period  the  Board  has  taken 
responsibility  to  ensure  effective  governance,  risk  management  and  that  the  internal  control  environment  is 
maintained. 
Role of Directors 

All Board members ensure that appropriate governance procedures are adhered to and there is a clear division of 
responsibilities at Board level to ensure a balance of power and authority so that no one individual has unfettered 
powers of decision making.  

The role of chairman and CEO are not held by the same director. The chairman is a non-executive director.  

Board and Audit Committee meetings have  been taking  place periodically and the executive directors manage the 
daily Company operations with the Board meetings taking place on a regular basis throughout the financial period. 
During  the  current  reporting  period  the  Board  met  8  (eight)  times  and  provided  pertinent  information  to  the 
Executive Committee of the Company. 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  effective  control  over  the  affairs  of  the  Company,  including:  strategic  and  policy 
decision-making  financial  control,  risk  management,  communication  with  stakeholders,  internal  controls  and  the 
asset  management  process.  Although  there  was  no  specific  committee  tasked  with  identifying,  analysing  and 
reporting  on  risk  during  the  financial  period,  this  was  nevertheless  part  of  the  everyday  function  of  the  directors 
and was managed at Board level.  

Directors are entitled, in consultation with the Chairman to seek independent professional advice about the affairs 
of the Company, at the Company’s expense. 
Audit Committee

The members of the Audit committee at 28 June 2013 are Christian Schaffalitzky, Wenzel Kerremans and Cecil Bond. 
The  committee  meets  at  least  twice  a  year  to  review  its  strategy.  The  Audit  committee  has  set  out  its  roles  and 
responsibilities within its charter and ensured that it is aligned to good financial governance principles. 

These include: 

 

 
 
 
 
 

the establishment of an Audit  Committee to guide the audit approach, as well as its modus operandi and the 
rules that govern the audit relationship; 
assess the processes relating to and the results emanating from the Group’s risk and control environment; 
oversee the financial reporting process; 
evaluate and co-ordinate the external audit process; 
foster and improve open communication and contact with relevant stakeholders of the Group; and 
review the independence of the External Auditors.

committed to promoting Kibo Mining Plc’s adherence to the principles contained in the Code of Corporate Practices 

and Conduct as set out in the King III. The Code is constantly being reviewed and the directors are implementing the 

Code in a phased manner. The directors are committed to the implementation of the principles and non-compliance 

is limited to the matter listed in this report. 

Internal Audit 

The  Group  does  not  have  an  internal  audit  function.  Currently  the  operations  of  the  Group  does  not  warrant  an 

internal  audit  function,  however  the  Board  is  assessing  the  need  to  establish  an  internal  audit  department 

considering  future  prospects  as  the  Group’s  operations  increase.  During  the  period  the  Board  has  taken 

responsibility  to  ensure  effective  governance,  risk  management  and  that  the  internal  control  environment  is 

maintained. 

Role of Directors 

All Board members ensure that appropriate governance procedures are adhered to and there is a clear division of 

responsibilities at Board level to ensure a balance of power and authority so that no one individual has unfettered 

powers of decision making.  

The role of chairman and CEO are not held by the same director. The chairman is a non-executive director.  

Board and Audit Committee meetings have  been taking  place periodically and the executive directors manage the 

daily Company operations with the Board meetings taking place on a regular basis throughout the financial period. 

During  the  current  reporting  period  the  Board  met  8  (eight)  times  and  provided  pertinent  information  to  the 

Executive Committee of the Company. 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  effective  control  over  the  affairs  of  the  Company,  including:  strategic  and  policy 

decision-making  financial  control,  risk  management,  communication  with  stakeholders,  internal  controls  and  the 

asset  management  process.  Although  there  was  no  specific  committee  tasked  with  identifying,  analysing  and 

reporting  on  risk  during  the  financial  period,  this  was  nevertheless  part  of  the  everyday  function  of  the  directors 

and was managed at Board level.  

Directors are entitled, in consultation with the Chairman to seek independent professional advice about the affairs 

of the Company, at the Company’s expense. 

Audit Committee

in place to ensure governance of IT is adhered to. 
Integrated and Sustainability Reporting 

KING  III  defines  Integrated  Reporting  as  a  “holistic  and  integrated  representation  of  the  Group’s  performance  in 
terms  of  both  its  finances  and  its  sustainability”.  The  Group  currently  does  not  have  a  separate  integrated  report. 
The  Board  and  it’s  sub-committees  are  in  the  process  of  assessing  the  principles  and  practices  of  integrated 
reporting  and  sustainability  reporting  as  outlined  in  KING  III  to  ensure  that  adequate  information  about  the 
operations of the Group, the sustainability issues pertinent to its business, the financial results and the results of its 
operations and cash flows are disclosed in a single report.

Opinion 

In our opinion 

 

 

 

the Group financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, of 
the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 December 2012 and of its loss for the period then ended; 
the Company financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU 
and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2012, of the state of the 
Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2012; and 
the  financial  statements  have  been  properly  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Companies  Acts,  1963  to 
2012. 

We have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our 
opinion proper books of account have been kept by the Company. The Company Statement of Financial Position is in 
agreement with the books of account. 

In  our  opinion,  the  information  given  in  the  Directors’  Report  is  consistent  with  the  financial  statements.  The  net 
assets of the Company, as stated in the Company Statement of Financial Position on  page 25, are more than half of 
the amount of its called up share capital and, in our opinion, on that basis there did not exist at 31 December 2012 a 
financial situation which under Section 40(1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1983, may require the convening 
of an extraordinary meeting of the Company. 
Emphasis of Matter – Realisation of Assets 

Without  qualifying  our  opinion,  we  draw  your  attention  to  notes  10,  11,  12  and  18  concerning  the  valuation  of 
intangible assets, amounts due from Group undertakings and investments in group undertakings. The realisation of 
intangible assets of £21,054,614 (2011: £3,853,550), amounts due from Group undertakings of £24,462,066 (2011: 
£3,198,297)  and  investment  in  group  undertakings  of  £4,326,511  (2011:  £4,326,511)  included  in  the  Company 
Statement  of  Financial  Position  is  dependent  on  the  discovery  and  successful  development  of  economic  reserves 
including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

General Information 

Kibo Mining Plc (“the Company”) is a Company incorporated in Ireland. The Group financial statements consolidate 
those  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the  “Group”).  The  principal  activities  of  the 
Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  related  to  the  exploration  for  and  development  of  coal  and  other  minerals  in 
Tanzania. The figures in the financial statements are presented in Sterling unless otherwise stated. 
Statement of Compliance 

As  permitted  by  the  European  Union,  the  Group  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  and  their  interpretations  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB)  as  adopted  by  the  EU  (IFRS).  The  individual  financial  statements  of  the 
Company  (“Company  financial  statements”)  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Companies  Act,  1963  to 
2012  which  permits  a  Company  that  publishes  its  Company  and  Group  financial  statements  together,  to  take 
advantage  of  the  exemption  in  Section  148(8)  of  the  Companies  Act,  1963,  from  presenting  to  its  members  its 
Company Income Statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company financial statements. 

The  IFRSs  adopted  by  the  EU  as  applied  by  the  Company  and  the  Group  in  the  preparation  of  these  financial 
statements are those that were effective at 31 December 2012. 
Statement of Accounting Policies 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated 
financial statements.  
Basis of Preparation 

The Group and Company financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies have 
been applied consistently by Group entities. The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared on a 
going concern basis as explained on page 8. 
Use of Estimates and Judgements 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  EU  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  judgements, 
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and 
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis 
of  making  judgements  about  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent  from  other 
sources. 

In  particular,  there  are  significant  areas  of  estimation,  uncertainty  and  critical  judgements  in  applying  accounting 
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the following 
 
areas: 
 

Measurement of the recoverable amounts of intangible assets; and 
Utilisation of tax losses 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

The  Group’s  revised  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  results  in  the  capitalisation  of 
certain intangible mineral resources which are identified through business combinations or equivalent acquisitions. 
This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, 
in  particular  whether  an  economically  viable  extraction  operation  can  be  established  based  on  the  separately 
identified  mineral  resources.  Any  such  estimates  and  assumptions  may  change  as  new  information  becomes 
available.  If,  after  having  capitalised  the  intangible  mineral  resources  under  the  policy,  a  judgement  is  made  that 
recovery  of  the  intangible  asset  is  unlikely,  the  relevant  capitalised  amount  will  be  written  off  to  the  income 
statement. 
Taxation 

Assessing  the  recoverability  of  deferred  income  tax  assets  requires  the  Company  to  make  significant  estimates 
related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows 
from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and 
taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realise the net deferred tax assets 
recorded at the end of the reporting period could be impacted.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

General Information 

Revenue Recognition - Interest Revenue 

Kibo Mining Plc (“the Company”) is a Company incorporated in Ireland. The Group financial statements consolidate 

those  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the  “Group”).  The  principal  activities  of  the 

Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  related  to  the  exploration  for  and  development  of  coal  and  other  minerals  in 

Tanzania. The figures in the financial statements are presented in Sterling unless otherwise stated. 

Statement of Compliance 

Interest revenue is accrued  on a  time  basis, by reference to  the  principal outstanding and at the effective interest 
rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of 
the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. 
Consolidation  

As  permitted  by  the  European  Union,  the  Group  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 

International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  and  their  interpretations  issued  by  the  International 

Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB)  as  adopted  by  the  EU  (IFRS).  The  individual  financial  statements  of  the 

Company  (“Company  financial  statements”)  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Companies  Act,  1963  to 

2012  which  permits  a  Company  that  publishes  its  Company  and  Group  financial  statements  together,  to  take 

advantage  of  the  exemption  in  Section  148(8)  of  the  Companies  Act,  1963,  from  presenting  to  its  members  its 

Company Income Statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company financial statements. 

The  IFRSs  adopted  by  the  EU  as  applied  by  the  Company  and  the  Group  in  the  preparation  of  these  financial 

statements are those that were effective at 31 December 2012. 

Statement of Accounting Policies 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated 

financial statements.  

Basis of Preparation 

The Group and Company financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies have 

been applied consistently by Group entities. The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared on a 

going concern basis as explained on page 8. 

Use of Estimates and Judgements 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  EU  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  judgements, 

estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 

liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and 

various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis 

of  making  judgements  about  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent  from  other 

sources. 

 

 

areas: 

In  particular,  there  are  significant  areas  of  estimation,  uncertainty  and  critical  judgements  in  applying  accounting 

policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the following 

Measurement of the recoverable amounts of intangible assets; and 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Utilisation of tax losses 

The  Group’s  revised  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  results  in  the  capitalisation  of 

certain intangible mineral resources which are identified through business combinations or equivalent acquisitions. 

This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, 

in  particular  whether  an  economically  viable  extraction  operation  can  be  established  based  on  the  separately 

identified  mineral  resources.  Any  such  estimates  and  assumptions  may  change  as  new  information  becomes 

available.  If,  after  having  capitalised  the  intangible  mineral  resources  under  the  policy,  a  judgement  is  made  that 

recovery  of  the  intangible  asset  is  unlikely,  the  relevant  capitalised  amount  will  be  written  off  to  the  income 

statement. 

Taxation 

Assessing  the  recoverability  of  deferred  income  tax  assets  requires  the  Company  to  make  significant  estimates 

related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows 

from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and 

taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realise the net deferred tax assets 

recorded at the end of the reporting period could be impacted. 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Kibo Mining Plc and its subsidiaries for 
the 15 month period ended 31 December 2012. 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Group.  Control  exists  when  the  Group  has  the  power,  directly  or 
indirectly, to govern  the financial and operating policies of an  entity so as  to obtain benefits from  its activities. In 
assessing  control,  potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently  exercisable  or  convertible  are  taken  into  account. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. 

Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistency  with  the  policies 
adopted by the Group. 

Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains or losses or income or expenses arising from intragroup transactions 
are  eliminated  in  preparing  the  Group  financial  statements,  except  to  the  extent  they  provide  evidence  of 
impairment. 

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The cost of the business 
combination  is  measured  as  the  aggregate  of  the  fair  values  of  assets  given,  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed  and 
equity instruments issued. Costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed as incurred, except 
the  costs  to  issue  debt  which  are  amortised  as  part  of  the  effective  interest  and  costs  to  issue  equity  which  are 
included in equity. 

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities which meet the recognition conditions of IFRS 
3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at acquisition date. 

Contingent  liabilities  are  only  included  in  the  identifiable  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  acquiree  where  there  is  a 
present obligation at acquisition date. 

Non-controlling interest arising from a business combination is measured  either at their share of  the fair value of 
the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  acquiree  or  at  fair  value.  The  treatment  is  not  an  accounting  policy  choice  but  is 
selected for each individual business combination, and disclosed in the note for business combinations. 
Intangible Assets 

 
An intangible asset is recognised when: 
 

it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; 
and 
the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.  
 
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the Group also: 

 

tests  intangible  assets  with  an  indefinite  useful  life  or  intangible  assets  not  yet  available  for  use  for  impairment 
annually by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. This impairment test is performed during 
the annual period and at the same time every period; and 
test goodwill by comparing its carrying value with its recoverable amount.

Exploration & Evaluation Assets 

Exploration  and  evaluation  activity  involves  the  search  for  mineral  resources,  the  determination  of  technical 
feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation  activity 
includes: 

• researching and analysing historical exploration data; 
• gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies; 
• exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling; 
• determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource; 
• surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; and 
• conducting market and finance studies. 

Administration costs attributable to exploration activities are charged to the income statement. Licence costs paid in 
connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area is charged to the income statement. Exploration 
and evaluation expenditure is charged to the income statement as incurred except in the following circumstances, in 
which case the expenditure may be capitalised: 

• In respect of minerals activities: 
– 

 the  exploration  and  evaluation  activity  is  within  an  area  of  interest  which  was  previously  acquired  as  an 
asset acquisition or in a business combination and measured at fair value on acquisition; or 
 the existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit has been established. 

– 

Capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  considered  to  be  tangible  is  recorded  as  a  component  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  at  cost  less  impairment  charges.  Otherwise,  it  is  recorded  as  an  intangible.  As  the 
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure asset is not available for use, it is not depreciated. All capitalised 
exploration and evaluation expenditure is monitored for indications of impairment. Where a potential impairment is 
indicated,  assessment  is  performed  for  each  area  of  interest  in  conjunction  with  the  group  of  operating  assets 
(representing  a  cash  generating  unit)  to  which  the  exploration  is  attributed.  Exploration  areas  at  which  reserves 
have been discovered but require major capital expenditure before production can begin, are continually evaluated 
to ensure that commercial quantities of reserves exist or to ensure that additional exploration work is under way or 
planned. 
Impairment 

Assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the 
asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The  recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s  fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest 
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).  

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (cash-generating  unit)  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  amount.  An  impairment  loss  is 
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income immediately.  
Property, Plant and Equipment  

Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  are  stated  at  cost  or  valuation,  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is 
provided  at  rates  calculated  to  write  off  the  cost  less  residual  value  of  each  asset  over  its  expected  useful  life,  as 
follows:  

Office equipment-between 12.5% to 37.5% straight line; 
Plant & machinery at 20% straight line; 
Furniture and fixtures at 12.5% straight line; 
Motor vehicles at 25% straight line; and 
I.T Equipment at 20% straight line 

The  residual  value  and  useful  lives  of  the  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  reviewed  annually  and  adjusted  if 
appropriate at each Statement of Financial Position date.  

On disposal of property, plant and equipment the cost and the  related accumulated depreciation and impairments 
are  removed  from  the  financial  statements  and  the  net  amount,  less  any  proceeds,  is  taken  to  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income.

Exploration & Evaluation Assets 

Income Tax 

Exploration  and  evaluation  activity  involves  the  search  for  mineral  resources,  the  determination  of  technical 

feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation  activity 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Income Statement 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.  

includes: 

• researching and analysing historical exploration data; 

• gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies; 

• exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling; 

• determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource; 

• surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; and 

• conducting market and finance studies. 

Administration costs attributable to exploration activities are charged to the income statement. Licence costs paid in

that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the 

asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The  recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s  fair

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  using  the  balance  sheet  method,  providing  for  temporary  differences  between  the 
carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  taxation 
purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, 
the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and  that  affects 
neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they 
probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be 
applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the reporting date. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability 
to pay the related dividend is recognised. 
Foreign Currencies 
Functional and presentation currency 

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  Group’s  entities  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial 
statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Group’s presentation currency. This is also the functional currency 
of the Group and Company and is considered by the Board also to be appropriate for the purposes of preparing the 
Group financial statements.  
Transactions and balances  

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the 
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and 
from  the  translation  at  period  end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  
Group companies  

The  results  and  financial  position  of  all  the  Group  entities  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary 
economy)  that  have  a  functional  currency  different  from  the  presentation  currency  are  translated  into  the 
presentation currency as follows: 

 

Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  for  each  Statement  of  Financial  Position  presented  are  presented  at  the 
closing  rate  at  the  date  of  that  Statement  of  Financial  Position.  Non-monetary  items  are  measured  at  the 
exchange  rate  in  effect  at  the  historical  transaction  date  and  are  not  translated  at  each  Statement  of 
Financial Position date; 

Income  and  expenses  for  each  income  statement  are  translated  at  average  exchange  rates  (unless  this 
average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction 
dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transaction): and 

 

 

All  resulting  exchange  differences  are  recognised  as  a  separate  component  of  equity.  On  consolidation, 
exchange differences arising from the translation of monetary items receivable from foreign subsidiaries for 
which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are taken to shareholders 
equity. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement 
as part of the gain or loss on sale. 

Issue Expenses and Share Premium Account 

Issue expenses are written off against the premium arising on the issue of share capital.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

Earnings per share 

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated 
by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number 
of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  EPS  is  determined  by  adjusting  the  profit  or  loss 
attributable  to  ordinary  shareholders  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  for  the 
effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 
Financial Instruments 
Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term 
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form 
part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of 
the statement of cash flows. 
Trade and other receivables / payables 

Trade and other receivables and payables are stated at cost less  impairment, which approximates fair value given 
the short dated nature of these assets and liabilities. 
Share based payments 

For such grants of share options, the fair value as at the date of  grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing  model,  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  options  were  granted.  The  amount 
recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the  actual  number  of  share  options  that  are  likely  to  vest,  except 
where forfeiture is only due to market based conditions not achieving the threshold for vesting. 
Shareholder warrants 

The  shareholder  warrants  entitle  shareholders  to  a  number  of  common  shares  based  upon  the  number  of  shares 
they  subscribed  for  at  the  date  of  issue  of  the  warrant  instrument.  The  warrants  relate  to  a  transaction  with  the 
equity  holders  as  opposed  to  a  transaction  in  exchange  for  any  goods  or  services.  The  equity  component  of  the 
instrument is not considered material and there is no liability component arising as a result of these warrants. Upon 
exercise of the warrant the proceeds received, net of attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital and 
where appropriate share premium. 
Share Capital 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised directly in 
equity.

Shareholder warrants 

The  shareholder  warrants  entitle  shareholders  to  a  number  of  common  shares  based  upon  the  number  of  shares 

they  subscribed  for  at  the  date  of  issue  of  the  warrant  instrument.  The  warrants  relate  to  a  transaction  with  the 

equity  holders  as  opposed  to  a  transaction  in  exchange  for  any  goods  or  services.  The  equity  component  of  the 

instrument is not considered material and there is no liability component arising as a result of these warrants. Upon 

exercise of the warrant the proceeds received, net of attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital and 

where appropriate share premium. 

Share Capital 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised directly in 

equity.

The effective tax rate used for the December 2012 and September 2011 reconciliations above is the corporate rate 
of 12.5% payable by corporate entities in Ireland on taxable profits under tax law in that jurisdiction. 

No provision has been made for the 2012 deferred taxation as no taxable income has been received to date. At the 
Statement of Financial Position date, the Group had estimated unused tax losses of £9,086,808 (2011: £4,122,320) 
available  for  offset  against  future  profits  which  equates  to  an  estimated  deferred  tax  asset  of  £1,135,381  (2011: 
£515,290). No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the unpredictability of the future profit streams. Losses 
may be carried forward indefinitely.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

The Rukwa and Pinewood projects will provide Kibo shareholders with access to an attractive portfolio of strategic 
energy  assets  in  Tanzania.  The  Rukwa  project  is  substantially  more  advanced  than  Kibo’s  existing  exploration 
projects, with a significant Mineral Resource of thermal coal already defined.  

Goodwill  recorded  in  connection  with  the  above  acquisitions  during  the  2012  financial  period  is  primarily 
attributable to the synergistic benefits where the Kibo Group will be able to attribute the required financial support 
and management experience in order to develop the identified assets into profitable operations.

None of the above stated trade and other receivables were pledged as security at period end. Credit quality of trade 
and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to historical repayment 
trends of the individual debtors.  

Debtors  have  been  individually  assessed  for  any  indication  of  impairment  and  a  provision  has  been  raised 
accordingly. 

The carrying value of trade and other receivables equals their fair value due mainly to the short term nature of these

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2012 

The share based payment expenditure for the 2012 financial period relates to 3,125,659 ordinary shares issued by 

Mzuri  Energy  Limited  as  consideration  for  advisory  services  provided  with  regard  to  the  acquisition  of  Mzuri 

Energy Limited, Mayborn Resource Investments (Proprietary) Limited and other related companies. As the issue of 

these shares in Mzuri Energy Limited is directly attributable to the financial advisory services provided with regard 

to the acquisition of the above companies, the expenditure was recognised at the fair market value of the services 

rendered, through consolidated statement of income. 

Additionally the Company also issued 4,427,931 ordinary shares at a placing price of £0.0128446 per share totalling 

£56,875,  relating  to  the  YA  Global  Master  SPV  Ltd  Subscription  Agreement  where  administrative  costs  would  be

attributable  to  the  financial  advisory  services  provided  with  regard  to  the  above  agreement,  the  expenditure  was 

recognised at the fair market value of the services rendered through consolidated statement of income. 

The  following  detail  is  provided  pertaining  to  the  acquisition  of  Mzuri  Energy  Limited  with  effect  from  1  October 
2012, and its corresponding share based payment transaction: 

On  1  August  2011  Mzuri  Energy  Limited  established  a  share  option  program  that  entitles  key  management 
personnel  to  purchase  shares  in  the  Company.  In  accordance  with  the  program,  holders  of  vested  options  are 
entitled to purchase shares at the market price of the shares at the date of grant.

The Company also issued 4,000,000 Share Options during the 2012 financial period, in lieu of payment toward RFC 

Ambrian for financial advisory services provided to the Company. These share options were valued using the Black-

Scholes model at grant date. 

The fair value of the share-based payment is based upon the Black-Scholes formula, a commonly used option pricing 
model.    The  calculation  of  volatility  used  in  the  model  is  based  upon  an  average  of  market  prices  against  current 
market prices of listed companies operating in the mining industry. 

The share based payment reserve holds the equity element of the share option transactions adjusted for transfer on 

exercise, cancellation or expiry of options.

Foreign currency risk 

The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  and  exposures  to  exchange  rate 
fluctuations  therefore  arise.  Exchange  rate  exposures  are  managed  by  continuously  reviewing  exchange  rate 
movements  in  the  relevant  foreign  currencies.  The  exposure  to  exchange  rate  fluctuations  is  limited  as  the 
Company’s subsidiaries operate mainly with Sterling, Euros, South African Rands, US Dollar and Tanzanian Shillings.  

At the period ended 31 December 2012, the Group had no outstanding forward exchange contracts.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
to the Group. As the Group does not, as yet, have any sales to third parties, this risk is limited. 

The Group and Company’s financial assets comprise receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The credit risk on 
cash  and  cash  equivalents  is  limited  because  the  counterparties  are  banks  with  high  credit-ratings  assigned  by 
international  credit  rating  agencies.  The  Group  and  Company’s  exposure  to  credit  risk  arise  from  default  of  its

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Joint Venture with Votorantim Group 

The Company concluded a formal definitive joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture”) with VOTORANTIM METAIS

conduct  a  joint  further  exploration  work  program  on  its  Haneti  properties  which  are  prospective  for  nickel  and 

other base and precious metals. 

Under the  Joint Venture, Votorantim will initially contribute a maximum of GBP 2.7  million over a period of three 

years (“Initial Period”), to fully fund an agreed work program budget at the Haneti Project. Upon expending the full

concluded the parties will continue to contribute equally to the working capital requirements of the Joint Venture. 

During  the  Initial  Period  the  JV  will  carry  out  exploration  activities  aiming  at  the  identification  of  the  mineral 

potential of Haneti, focusing initially on the exploration for nickel and PGEs in the extensive mafic-ultramafic belt, 

located at the proximity of Dodoma. Work conducted during this period will also aim at establishing an initial early 

stage  JORC  compliant  mineral  resource  at  Haneti.  Following  the  Initial  Period  the  Joint  Venture  will  consider  the 

further development of the project on the merits of the exploration results achieved. 

Subsequent  to  period  end,  the  first  drawdown  against  the  £2.7  million  funding  package  has  been  approved  with 

regard to the agreed work program on the Haneti Project. 

Contingent corporate tax recoveries

regard to certain expenses incurred through previous financial period’s operations. 

Trade payables

Additionally the company also entered into an agreement whereby ordinary shares will be issued by the Company 

in  lieu  of  advisory  services  to  the  value  of  £1,114,010  included  as  part  of  the  Groups  trade  payables  as  at  the
