Corporate

Following  our  corporate  re-organisation  in  2013 

which  included  the  retirement  of  three  directors, 

2014  was  a  relatively  uneventful  period  on  the 

corporate  front  as  management’s  energy  was

in  2013  and  enhanced  the  key

experience and capability to take the Company to 

the next stage of its development. 

There  were  three  placings  completed  during 

2014 which raised a  total of £2.2 million at prices 

of  between  1.5p  and  2.5p.  These  were  all  done 

in  continuing  adverse  market  conditions  for 

equity raisings. As Shareholders will see from this 

report,  the  Annual  Financial  Statements  reflect  a 

reversal  of  previously  recognised  impairment  of 

our  intangible  assets  to  the  value  of  £8.1  million, 

together with impairment charges of £3.4 million, 

resulting  in  an  increase  in  the  carrying  value  of 

intangible assets from £9.7 million at 31 December 

2013 to £14.4 million at 31 December 2014.

Review of Business Developments 

As set out in the Chairman’s Report and review of activities, as well as continuing with its exploration program, the 

Company significantly decreased its exploration ground holdings in Tanzania during the period, and continued the 

development of its feasibility studies toward mining of the identifiable viable resources. 

Rukwa 

The Company commenced a Definitive Mine Feasibility Study (“DMFS”) at Rukwa in the the second half of 2014 and 

the  results  emerging  to  date  are  highly  encouraging.  Modelling  studies  indicate  sufficient  coal  within  the  current 

Mineral Resource to sustain the proposed thermal power plant for a period of up to 40 years. Equally encouraging 

are the results of a Pre-feasibility Study on the thermal power generation component of the project also completed 

during 2014. Kibo is now continuing with completion of a full integrated coal-power bankable feasibility study and 

on the Rukwa Coal to Power Project (RCPP) which it expects to complete during 2015. 

An important part of the feasibility studies on the Rukwa coal mine will be further drilling and associated technical 

surveys  to  increase  confidence  in  the  existing  resource  to  test  for  additional  coal  resources  over  the  rest  of  the 

project, for which the Company believes there is excellent potential. Apart from supplying the planned thermal coal 

plant, additional markets for the coal will also be explored such as export and for coal to gas conversion.  

Imweru 

The Companies near-term plans for its Lake Victoria projects will be  primarily focused on Imweru where  work is 

on-going. An internal optimization study  which  was validated  by the Companies independent consultants (August 

2014),  has  established  the  potential  viability  of  the  existing  Imweru  Mineral  Resource  to  support  an  economic 

mining  operation.  Based  on  these  results  Kibo  commenced  a  Definitive  Mining  Feasibility  Study  (“DMFS”)  on  the 

project  during  the  second  half  of  2014  with  the  first  output  from  this  study,  a  Preliminary  Economic  Assessment 

(“PEA”) by independent consultant Minxcon, showing favorable economic indicators for development of a gold mine 

on the existing Mineral Resource. The next element of work on the DMFS will comprise the completion of the Pre-

feasibility Study for the project which is planned for 2015. The results of the 2014 economic and technical studies at 

Imweru indicate the potential to increase the Company’s total gold resource in the region and extend the life of the 

modelled base case gold mine development.

Review of Business Developments 

As set out in the Chairman’s Report and review of activities, as well as continuing with its exploration program, the 
Company significantly decreased its exploration ground holdings in Tanzania during the period, and continued the 
development of its feasibility studies toward mining of the identifiable viable resources. 
Rukwa 

The Company commenced a Definitive Mine Feasibility Study (“DMFS”) at Rukwa in the the second half of 2014 and 
the  results  emerging  to  date  are  highly  encouraging.  Modelling  studies  indicate  sufficient  coal  within  the  current 
Mineral Resource to sustain the proposed thermal power plant for a period of up to 40 years. Equally encouraging 
are the results of a Pre-feasibility Study on the thermal power generation component of the project also completed 
during 2014. Kibo is now continuing with completion of a full integrated coal-power bankable feasibility study and 
on the Rukwa Coal to Power Project (RCPP) which it expects to complete during 2015. 

An important part of the feasibility studies on the Rukwa coal mine will be further drilling and associated technical 
surveys  to  increase  confidence  in  the  existing  resource  to  test  for  additional  coal  resources  over  the  rest  of  the 
project, for which the Company believes there is excellent potential. Apart from supplying the planned thermal coal 
plant, additional markets for the coal will also be explored such as export and for coal to gas conversion.

The Companies near-term plans for its Lake Victoria projects will be  primarily focused on Imweru where  work is 
on-going. An internal optimization study  which  was validated  by the Companies independent consultants (August 
2014),  has  established  the  potential  viability  of  the  existing  Imweru  Mineral  Resource  to  support  an  economic 
mining  operation.  Based  on  these  results  Kibo  commenced  a  Definitive  Mining  Feasibility  Study  (“DMFS”)  on  the 
project  during  the  second  half  of  2014  with  the  first  output  from  this  study,  a  Preliminary  Economic  Assessment

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

KIBO MINING PLC 

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Operational risk 

In early 2015, the Company received the results of an independent geochemical assessment of its historic soil and 
rock  sample  multi-element  analytical  results  for  Haneti  carried  out  on  its  behalf  by  Australian  consultants.  The 
assessment report concluded that the Mihanza Hill soil and rock anomaly shows strong geochemical characteristics 
to those that may be expected to overlie a “chondrite” type Ni-Cu-PGM sulphide target .This results has significantly 
improved the quality of this target for nickel sulphide  mineralisation as well as validating the prospectivity of the 
rest of the Haneti Itiso Ultramafic Complex for this style of nickel sulphide mineralisation.  
Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

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 Company’s operations and its financial results. The Company will develop and 

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

Staffing and Key Personnel Risks 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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  the  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 
Company  to  raise  additional  financing,  if  necessary,  or  alternatively  upon  the  Company’s  ability  to  dispose  of  its 
interests  on  an  advantageous  basis.  Changes  in  market  conditions  could  require  material  write  downs  of  the 
carrying value of the Company’s assets.  
Financial instrument risk 

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

Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral acquisition opportunities throughout the world. As a result 
of this competition, the Company 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 Company will acquire any interest 
in additional operations that would yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. The Company 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  Company properties can be mined at a profit. Factors beyond the control of the 
Company  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 Company 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.  
Funding risk 

In  the  past  the  Company  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.

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the  Company’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 Company 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 Company’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 Company. 

Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development 

Development  of  the  Company’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 

Company’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  Company  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 Company’s ability to develop the projects. 

Uninsurable Risks 

The  Company  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 

The  result  for  the  year  after  providing  for  depreciation,  impairments  and  taxation  amounted  to  a  profit  of 

£2,125,004 for the year ended (31 December 2013: loss £15,583,337).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Going Concern 

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

KIBO MINING PLC 

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

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  further  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 annual 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. 
Environmental responsibility 

The Company recognises that its activities require it to have regard to the potential impact that it, its subsidiaries 
and  partners  may  have  on  the  environment.  Where  exploration  and  development  works  are  carried  out,  care  is 
taken to limit the amount of disturbance and where any remediation works are required they are carried out as and 
when required. 
Dividends 

There have been no dividends declared or paid during the current financial period (2013: £ nil). 
Corporate Governance Policy 

The  Board  is  aware  of  the  importance  to  conform  to  its  statutory  responsibilities  and  industry  good  practice  in 
relation to corporate governance of the Group. 

The Board is accountable to the shareholders for delivery of sustained value growth. In order to support its duties 
and  responsibilities  the  Board  implements  control  procedures  that  assess  and  manage  risk  and  ensure  robust 
financial and operational management within the Company. The principal risks that the Company is exposed to can 
be classified under the general headings of exploration risk, commodity risk, price risk, currency risk and political 
risk. 

The  Board  also  sets  the  Company’s  core  values  and  ethical  standards  of  business  conduct  ensuring  these  are 
effectively communicated to all staff and are monitored continuously by the Board. 

The  Board  sets  the  Company’s  strategy  and  monitors  its  implementation  through  management  and  financial 
performance  reviews.  It  also  works  to  ensure  that  adequate  resources  are  available  to  implement  strategy  in  a 
timely manner. 

The  Company  subscribes  to  the  values  of  good  corporate  governance  at  all  levels  and  is  committed  to  conduct 
business with discipline, integrity and social responsibility. The Board of Directors is firmly committed to promoting 
Kibo Mining Plc’s adherence to the principles contained in the International Code of Good Corporate Practices. 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.
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 Chief Executive Officer 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 14 (fourteen) 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.

Internal Audit 

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

Environmental performance.

in place to ensure governance of IT is adhered to.

Integrated Reporting is defined 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  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

position  and  performance  of  the  Group.  The  Companies  Acts  provide  in  relation  to  such  financial  statements  that

achieving a fair presentation. In preparing  each of the Group and Company financial statements, the  Directors are 

required to: 

 

 

 

 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

state  whether  applicable  accounting  standards  have  been  followed,  subject  to  any  material  departures 

disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 

Group and Company will continue in business. 

The Directors confirm they have complied with the above requirements in preparing these accounts.  

Under  applicable  law  the  Directors  are  also  responsible  for  preparing  a  Directors’  Report  and  reports  relating  to 

Directors’ remuneration and corporate governance that comply with that law and those rules.  

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any 

time  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  and  which  enable  them  to  ensure  that  its  financial  statements  are 

prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards,  and  comply  with  the  Companies  Acts, 

1963 to 2014, and European Communities (Companies: Group Accounts) Regulations 1992 and all regulations to be 

construed as one with those acts. They are also responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to 

safeguard  the  assets  of  the  Group  and  Company  and  hence  for  taking  reasonable  steps  for  the  prevention  and 

detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included 

on  the  Company’s  website.  Legislation  in  the  Republic  of  Ireland  governing  the  preparation  and  dissemination  of 

financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

size, stage of development and financial status of the Group. 

The Board 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  supervision  and  control  of  the  Company  and  is  accountable  to  the  shareholders. 

The  Board  has  reserved  decision-making  on  a  variety  of  matters,  including  determining  strategy  for  the  Group, 

reviewing and monitoring executive management performance and monitoring risks and controls. 

The Board has 6 (six) Directors, comprising 3 (three) executive Directors and 3 (three) non-executive Directors. The 

Board met formally on 14 (fourteen) occasions during the year ended 31 December 2014. An agenda and supporting

As  explained  more  fully  in  the  Directors'  Responsibilities  Statement,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  the 

preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility 

is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International 

Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s 

26 May 2015

Ethical Standards for Auditors. 

Scope of the audit of the financial statements 

We have audited the Group and Company financial statements of Kibo Mining plc for the year ended 31 December 

2014  which  comprise  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial 

Position,  Company  Statement  of  Financial  Position,  Consolidated  Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity,  Company 

Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Company Statement of Cash Flows, Summary 

of Significant Accounting Policies and the related notes on pages 30 to 49. The financial reporting framework that 

has  been  applied  in  their  preparations  is  Irish  Law  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  ("IFRS")  as 

adopted by the European Union. 

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies 

Act 1990. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we 

are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, 

we  do  not  accept  or  assume  responsibility  to  anyone  other  than  the  company  and  the  company's  members  as  a 

body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give 

reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or 

error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group and company's 

circumstances  and  have  been  consistently  applied  and  adequately  disclosed;  the  reasonableness  of  significant 

accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we 

read  all  the  financial  and  non-financial  information  in  the  Annual  Report  to  identify  material  inconsistencies  with 

the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or 

materially  inconsistent  with,  the  knowledge  acquired  by  us  in  the  course  of  performing  the  audit.  If  we  become 

aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Companies Acts 1963 to 2014 and all regulations to be construed as one with those acts.

December 2014 a financial situation which under section 40(1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act 1983

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

KIBO MINING PLC 

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

General Information 

Taxation 

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. This summary 
forms part of the notes to the financial statements. 
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 
2014  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 2014. 
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 

is exposed , or has rights, to variance return from its involvement with the investee; and 

has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.  

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 9. 
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;  
Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company: and 
Utilisation of tax losses 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

The  Group’s  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. 
Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company 

The  realisation  of  amounts  due  from  Group  undertakings  is  dependent  on  the  discovery  of  economic  reserves 
including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects in order to settle the group loan 
balance receivable.

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. 

Revenue Recognition - Interest Revenue 

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  

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Kibo Mining Plc and its subsidiaries for 

the year ended 31 December 2014, over which the Company has control. 

 

 

 

Control is achieved when the Company: 

has the power over the investee; 

The  Company  reassesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  and  investee  if  facts  are  circumstance  indicate  the  there  are 

changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. 

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. 

impairment. 

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 

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. 

Changes  in  the  Group’s  interest  in  subsidiaries  that  do  not  result  in  a  loss  of  control  are  accounted  for  as  equity 

transactions. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  arising  from  the  acquisition  of  a  subsidiary  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  the  acquisition  over  the 

Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary

Control is achieved when the Company: 
 
has the power over the investee; 
 
is exposed , or has rights, to variance return from its involvement with the investee; and 
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.  

The  Company  reassesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  and  investee  if  facts  are  circumstance  indicate  the  there  are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. 

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. 

Changes  in  the  Group’s  interest  in  subsidiaries  that  do  not  result  in  a  loss  of  control  are  accounted  for  as  equity 
transactions. 
Goodwill 

24 

Goodwill  arising  from  the  acquisition  of  a  subsidiary  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  the  acquisition  over  the 
Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary

recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less 
any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. 
Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets comprise the acquisition of rights to explore in relation to the Group’s exploration and evaluation 
activities. 

Office equipment-between 12.5% to 37.5% straight line; 

Plant & machinery at 20% straight line; 

Furniture & fixtures at 12.5% straight line; 

Motor vehicles at 25% straight line; and 

I.T Equipment at 20% straight line 

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.  

appropriate at each Statement of Financial Position date.  

The  residual  value  and  useful  lives  of  the  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  reviewed  annually  and  adjusted  if 

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. 
Exploration & Evaluation Assets 

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. 

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 
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. 

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: 

enacted by the reporting date. 

• 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.  

to pay the related dividend is recognised. 

Foreign Currencies 

Functional and presentation currency 

Intangible  assets  all  relate  to  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  which  are  carried  at  cost  with  an  indefinite 
useful life and therefore are reviewed for impairment annually and when there are indicators 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

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.  

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,

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 

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

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.

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. 
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. 
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 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. 
Share Capital 

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

Segment analysis 

IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are 
operating  segments  or  aggregations  of  operating  segments  that  meet  specific  criteria.  Operating  segments  are 
components of an  entity about which separate  financial information  is available that is evaluated regularly by  the 
chief operating decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating decision maker of the Group. 

Management  currently  identifies  two  divisions  as  operating  segments  –  mining  and  corporate.  These  operating 
segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made based upon them  together with other non-financial data 
collated from exploration activities. Principal activities for these operating segments are as follows:

The difference between the total current tax shown above and the amount calculated by applying the standard rate 

of Irish corporation tax of 12.5% to the loss before tax is as follows:

Income tax expense recognised in the Statement Of Comprehensive Income 

- 

The effective tax rate used for the December 2014 and December 2013 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 2014 deferred taxation as no taxable income has been received to date, and the 

probability  of  future  taxable  income  is  indicative  of  current  market  conditions  which  remain  uncertain.  At  the 

Statement of Financial Position date, the Group had estimated unused tax losses of £13,067,784 (2013: £10,497,432 

) available for offset against future profits which equates to an estimated potential deferred tax asset of £1,633,473 

(2013:  £1,312,179).  No  deferred  tax  asset  has  been  recognised  due  to  the  unpredictability  of  the  future  profit 

streams.  Losses  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  taxation  regulations  ruling 

within each of the above jurisdictions. 

Loss of parent Company 

7. 

As permitted by Section 148(8) of the Companies Act 1963, the statement of comprehensive income of the parent 

Company  has  not  been  separately  disclosed  in  these  financial  statements.  The  parent  Company’s  loss  for  the 

financial period was £1,343,195 (2013: £3,737,739). 

Key  management  personnel  consist  only  of  the  Directors.  Details  of  share  options  and  interests  in  the  Company’s 
shares  of  each  director  are  shown  in  the  Directors’  report  on  page  8.  The  following  table  summarises  the 
remuneration applicable to each of the individuals who held office as a director during the reporting period:

The effective tax rate used for the December 2014 and December 2013 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 2014 deferred taxation as no taxable income has been received to date, and the 
probability  of  future  taxable  income  is  indicative  of  current  market  conditions  which  remain  uncertain.  At  the 
Statement of Financial Position date, the Group had estimated unused tax losses of £13,067,784 (2013: £10,497,432 
) available for offset against future profits which equates to an estimated potential deferred tax asset of £1,633,473 
(2013:  £1,312,179).  No  deferred  tax  asset  has  been  recognised  due  to  the  unpredictability  of  the  future  profit 
streams.  Losses  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  taxation  regulations  ruling 
within each of the above jurisdictions.

As permitted by Section 148(8) of the Companies Act 1963, the statement of comprehensive income of the parent 
Company  has  not  been  separately  disclosed  in  these  financial  statements.  The  parent  Company’s  loss  for  the

combinations,  where  these  separately  identifiable  intangible  assets  will  be  recognised  at  fair  value  on  acquisition 
date of said subsidiary.

Intangible assets are not amortised, due to the indefinite useful life which is attached to the underlying prospecting 
rights,  until  such  time  that  active  mining  operations  commence,  which  will  result  in  the  intangible  asset  being 
amortised over the useful life of the relevant mining licences. 

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for indications of impairment on an annual basis and also 
when there is an indication of impairment, against the prospective fair value of the intangible asset. The valuation of 
intangible  assets  with  an  indefinite  useful  life  is  reassessed  on  an  annual  basis  through  valuation  techniques 
applicable to the nature of the intangible assets. 

In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the 
asset’s carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s 
fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  The  valuation  techniques  applicable  to  the  valuation  of  the 
abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair market values, discounted cash flow projections 
and historic transaction prices. 

The  following  key  assumptions  influence  the  measurement  of  the  intangible  assets  recoverable  amounts,  through 
utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Comparable market value of similar mineral statements; 
Currency fluctuations and exchange movements; 
Expected growth rates; 
Cost of capital related to funding requirements; 
Applicable discounts rates; 
Future operating expenditure for extraction and mining of measured mineral resources; and 
Co-operation of key project partners going forward. 

Through  review  of  the  project  specific  financial,  operational,  market  and  economic  indicators  applicable  to  the 
above intangible assets, impairment indicators were identified which required impairment of the intangible assets 
and reversal of impairments recognised in respect of selective exploration projects. 
Reversal of impairment 

Rukwa Coal Project 

The  commencement  of  Stage  1,  Phase  1  (Concept  Study  Report)  of  the  Rukwa  DMFS  was  announced  in  July  2014 
with the appointment of South African consulting group Minxcon Projects (Minxcon) of South Africa to carry out the 
study.  Based  on  the  study,  management  has  re-assessed  the  related  intangible  asset  which  indicated  a  reversal  of 
impairment amounting to £8,153,865.

The  following  key  assumptions  influence  the  measurement  of  the  intangible  assets  recoverable  amounts,  through 

utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount: 

  



NPV of £12 million at 15-20% discount rate. 

Rukwa has an all – in cost margin of between 38% and 45% that is high compared to other coal mines.  

A capital investment of between USD46 million and USD89 million is required to fund the operation subject to 

the option investigated.  

The life of the project is estimated to be 27 years based on the most feasible model. 

The  information  utilised  for  valuation  of  the  project  was  based  on  independent  Competent  Persons  Reports 

prepared specifically for the project by independent organisations to the Group. 

The payback period for the Project is between 3.9 and 4.7 years.  

The  previous  impairment  performed  was  based  on  resource  estimations  and  not  on  the  net  present  value 

determination  as  these  became  available  from  the  latest  Competent  Persons  Reports  prepared  during  the 

Impairment 

current financial period. 

Haneti Project 

Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration 

work related to the Haneti project, management has for financial reporting purposes reassessed the value in use of 

the  Haneti  project  in  line  with  the  requirements  of  the  financial  reporting  framework.  The  result  indicated  a 

downward adjustment in order to reflect the current resource listings, not taking into account the prospective value 

management  attaches  to  the  Haneti.  Based  on  the  latest  management  assessment  of  the  related  intangible  asset 

indicated an impairment amounting to £3,028,509. 

Pinewood Project 

Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration 

work related to the Pinewood project, management has relinquished a number of the uranium and coal licences in 

the  prior  and  current  period  in  order  to  focus  on  the  most  favourable  areas.  For  financial  reporting  purposes 

management has reassessed the value in use of the Pinewood project in line with the requirements of the financial 

reporting framework. The result indicated a downward adjustment as the value in use indicators suggest there to be 

limited  value  encased  within  the  Pinewood  project  as  it  currently  stands.  Based  on  the  latest  management 

assessment of the related intangible asset indicated an impairment amounting to £430,000.

Impairment 

The  following  key  assumptions  influence  the  measurement  of  the  intangible  assets  recoverable  amounts,  through 
utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount: 
  
 
 

NPV of £12 million at 15-20% discount rate. 
Rukwa has an all – in cost margin of between 38% and 45% that is high compared to other coal mines.  
A capital investment of between USD46 million and USD89 million is required to fund the operation subject to 
the option investigated.  
The life of the project is estimated to be 27 years based on the most feasible model. 
The  information  utilised  for  valuation  of  the  project  was  based  on  independent  Competent  Persons  Reports 
prepared specifically for the project by independent organisations to the Group. 
The payback period for the Project is between 3.9 and 4.7 years.  
The  previous  impairment  performed  was  based  on  resource  estimations  and  not  on  the  net  present  value 
determination  as  these  became  available  from  the  latest  Competent  Persons  Reports  prepared  during  the 
current financial period.

Intangible assets 

Intangible  assets  consist  solely  of  separately  identifiable  prospecting  assets  identified  through  business 

combinations,  where  these  separately  identifiable  intangible  assets  will  be  recognised  at  fair  value  on  acquisition 

date of said subsidiary. 

The following reconciliation serves to summarise the composition of intangible prospecting assets as at period end:

Intangible assets are not amortised, due to the indefinite useful life which is attached to the underlying prospecting 

rights,  until  such  time  that  active  mining  operations  commence,  which  will  result  in  the  intangible  asset  being 

amortised over the useful life of the relevant mining licences. 

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for indications of impairment on an annual basis and also 

when there is an indication of impairment, against the prospective fair value of the intangible asset. The valuation of 

intangible  assets  with  an  indefinite  useful  life  is  reassessed  on  an  annual  basis  through  valuation  techniques 

applicable to the nature of the intangible assets. 

In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the 

asset’s carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s 

fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  The  valuation  techniques  applicable  to  the  valuation  of  the 

abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair market values, discounted cash flow projections 

and historic transaction prices. 

The  following  key  assumptions  influence  the  measurement  of  the  intangible  assets  recoverable  amounts,  through 

utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comparable market value of similar mineral statements; 

Currency fluctuations and exchange movements; 

Expected growth rates; 

Cost of capital related to funding requirements; 

Applicable discounts rates; 

Future operating expenditure for extraction and mining of measured mineral resources; and 

Co-operation of key project partners going forward. 

Through  review  of  the  project  specific  financial,  operational,  market  and  economic  indicators  applicable  to  the 

above intangible assets, impairment indicators were identified which required impairment of the intangible assets 

and reversal of impairments recognised in respect of selective exploration projects. 

Reversal of impairment 

Rukwa Coal Project 

The  commencement  of  Stage  1,  Phase  1  (Concept  Study  Report)  of  the  Rukwa  DMFS  was  announced  in  July  2014 

with the appointment of South African consulting group Minxcon Projects (Minxcon) of South Africa to carry out the 

study.  Based  on  the  study,  management  has  re-assessed  the  related  intangible  asset  which  indicated  a  reversal  of 

impairment amounting to £8,153,865.

Haneti Project 

Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration 
work related to the Haneti project, management has for financial reporting purposes reassessed the value in use of 
the  Haneti  project  in  line  with  the  requirements  of  the  financial  reporting  framework.  The  result  indicated  a 
downward adjustment in order to reflect the current resource listings, not taking into account the prospective value 
management  attaches  to  the  Haneti.  Based  on  the  latest  management  assessment  of  the  related  intangible  asset 
indicated an impairment amounting to £3,028,509. 
Pinewood Project 

Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration

The fair value of the share-based payment is based upon the Black-Scholes formula, a commonly used option pricing

market prices of listed companies operating in the mining industry.

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 2014, the Group had no outstanding forward exchange contracts.  

Exchange rates used for conversion of foreign subsidiaries undertakings were:

The executive management of the Group monitor the Group's exposure to the concentration of fair value estimation 

risk on a monthly basis. 

Group Sensitivity Analysis: 

If  the  GBP:EURO/  EURO:USD  exchange  rate  was  to  increase/decrease  by  10%,  the  effect  on  foreign  currency 

translation would be £2.3 million and

Credit risk 

£0.46 million respectively. 

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 

counterparty,  with  a  maximum  exposure  equal  to  the  carrying  amount  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  its 

consolidated statement of financial position.  

The  Group  does  not  have  any  significant  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  counterparty  or  any  Group  of 

counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if 

they are connected or related entities. 

Financial assets exposed to credit risk at period end were as follows:

Ultimate  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  has  built  an 

appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group and Company’s short, medium 

and  long-term  funding  and  liquidity  management  requirements.  The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining 

adequate  reserves  and  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity 

profiles  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Cash  forecasts  are  regularly  produced  to  identify  the  liquidity 

requirements  of  the  Group.  To  date,  the  Group  has  relied  on  shareholder  funding  to  finance  its  operations.  The 

Group had no external borrowing facilities at 31 December 2014.

which was subsequently exercised and converted to shares at £0.03 on 21 January 2015. 

22.  Going concern 

Currently  no  significant  impact  exists  due  to  possible  interest  rate  changes  on  the  company’s  interest  bearing 
instruments. 
Capital risk management 

The  Group’s  financial  statements  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. 

23.  Commitments and Contingencies 

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while 
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. 

The  Group  does  not  have  identifiable  material  contingencies  or  commitments  as  at  the  reporting  date  (2013:  nil).    Any 

contingent rental is expensed in the period in which it is incurred.
