Up to the year end and beyond, the operation has performed moderately well producing overall positive cashflow at a local operating level. We have not reached results to our satisfaction because of adverse technical factors such as high stripping ratios and low grades of gold in gravel. This being further exacerbated by the fineness of the gold making recovery difficult. On 30 October 2018, we announced revised terms for the collaboration agreement with Nexus. The key terms of the revised agreement were that the Company would now receive 50% of income after costs, and that the cost sharing would generally be divided equally between the parties. Following the year end, the alluvials operations have continued to produce income in excess of cost and have endured indirectly the cost of the two cyclones which struck northern Mozambique. Whilst there was no direct damage, there was significant interference with material supply logistics particularly diesel. The Company announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Mutapa Mining and Processing LDA (MMP) for the mining and mineral processing of the Manica hard rock gold deposits at Xtract’s Manica mining concession in Mozambique. MMP, in partnership with Omnia, has been appointed as independent mineral processing contractor on Fairbride for the financing and operation of the Manica hard rock properties. In essence, the agreement facilitates using MMP’s existing hard rock processing plant, the building by MMP of a carbon-in-leach plant and mining without any capital cost to the Company. The Company will benefit from a direct operating profit interest of between 20% and 23% dependent on gold price. If the gold price is above US$1,250 per oz then the Company will receive 23% and if it falls below US$1,100 per oz, the Company will receive 20% of operating profit. This agreement should endure for a number of years whilst, we further explore the concession and develop a plan to treat sulphides and all mineralisation types within the Manica concession. The Board has made a decision to broaden the Company’s interests to another country and another commodity i.e. copper. This decision was made on the basis of our belief in the mid-term fundamentals for copper and the enormous prospectivity of Zambia for future copper production. Whilst Zambia for over a century has been a significant copper producer, there exists considerable opportunities for discovery outside the main “copper belt trend”. The mineralisation style in Central Zambia is considered as iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) and academic research makes references to Olympic Dam type mineralisation which could lead to even bigger projects than those currently being mined in Zambia. It is this style of mineralisation that we intend to pursue, and the Company entered into two exploration option agreements in the first quarter 2019. With the prospect of significant gold production from Manica and pursuance of our copper/gold projects in Zambia, we feel that we are now well balanced and as such future investment activities will be directed to shareholder enhancement in both arenas. The climate for junior resource companies is quite difficult and is not much better for the majors. World geo-political tensions have resulted in flat base metal prices when general opinion had been of significant price increases. The subdued metal prices have led to major base metal projects being shelved and exploration being difficult to finance. Our view is that these fundamentals can only lead to the supply situation being threatened and thus prices in due course increasing rather dramatically for most base metals, particularly copper and nickel. Patience will be required for the price increase, but in my opinion 2020 will see a dramatic up-tick in overall base metal prices which will in turn should result in improved financing capability. We feel that with our balance of production and exploration we are well poised to meet the challenges facing our sector and progress through the difficult interim period. I would like to thank my fellow directors and management colleagues for their untiring efforts in what has been a very challenging and difficult year for the Company and the industry in general. During 2019 we will carry out best effort to accelerate Manica hard rock production and improve alluvial performance whilst adding value to our Zambian projects. Colin Bird ExecutiveChairman 29 May 2019 2 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Strategic Report The board continued to pursue its investment framework to identify and invest in a portfolio of near-term resource assets that: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Can be brought to into production with 2 years; Are near or at surface without major capital expenditure; Are on the low end of the cash cost curve and have upside growth potential; Low entry cost and located in favourable mining jurisdictions. The year ended under review saw numerous developments within the Company both on the operational and corporate level . Mozambique Manica Hard Rock Gold Project (Fair Bride Gold Project) Resource Estimate In 2016, the Company published the Minxcon independent technical report on the Fair Bride Gold Project (“Mineral Resource Statement”). The Mineral Resource was classified into Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource categories as defined in the SAMREC Code based on the kriging efficiency, number of samples and search radii. The Mineral Resource estimation for the Fair Bride open pit is presented in Table 1 below, declared to a depth of 280m with a resource cut-off of 0.5 g/t. The open pit contains predominantly Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and is SAMREC-compliant.

Gross and Net Attributable resources are the same Definitive Feasibility Study In February 2017, the Company announced the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) for the Fair Bride Project in Manica in Mozambique and the results were summarised as follows: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) After-tax Internal Rate of Return of 41.1% at a gold price of US$1,262 per ounce Project life of 7 years with average gold grade of 2.62 g/t producing 215,293 recovered ounces Project payback within 2 years Direct cash cost (“C1”) of US$556 per ounce All-in sustainable cost (including royalties and capital) of US$862 per ounce Total capital expenditure of US$43.68 million The Net Present Value of US$42 million at 8.4% discount rate A further 992,000 ounces in resource for additional evaluation and future exploitation Considerable exploration potential within the concession and nearby The DFS produced demonstrated that the Fair Bride Project is a robust project, which is neither complex nor capital demanding. During 2018, the Company continued exploring different options which could accommodate less complex ore. At the same time the Company continued assessing different options with potential partners and investors to develop the Manica Project. Manica Hard Rock Gold Project (Excluding Fair Bride Gold Project) Collaboration and Joint Venture Agreement During February 2018, the Company concluded a further collaboration agreement (“Joint Venture and Collaboration Agreement”) with Omnia Mining Ltd (“Omnia”). Key elements of the Agreement (cid:1) 4 All gold recovered from the processing plant in the operating phase, to be split on a 50:50 basis between the Company and Omnia Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Strategic Report CONTINUED (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Omnia to manage and control the processing plant and all the processing costs will be for their account The Fair Bride Project on Explorator’s concession (and feasibility study) is excluded from the Agreement The Company to advise, manage and control all mining and mining operations and will be responsible for all mining related costs All hard rock gold occurrences (excluding the Fair Bride Project), if any, will be supplied to Omnia’s Processing Plant provided that the development of these occurrences results in an internal rate of return which exceeds 25% If the return is lower than the 25% hurdle, the parties can agree in writing to continue mining these occurrences Transport cost of the mining mineral will be split between the Company and Omnia on a 50:50 basis A steering committee to manage the joint venture project and the committee will consist of two members appointed by the Company and two members appointed by Omnia All of the Omnia targets have been extensively drilled. The 1st target is closely situated to the Omnia plant, the 2nd target approximately 1 km from the plant adjacent to a high grade adit with further potential and the 3rd target being 3 km away from the plant. The Company has carried out and completed a thorough desktop study including a full review on the concession and will shortly be completing the next phase of which includes mapping, trenching and process of sampling for the 1st target and will shortly be commencing work on the 3rd target. Manica licence 3990C Hard Rock Collaboration Agreement On 29 May 2019, a Collaboration Agreement was entered into inter alia by the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Explorator Limitada (“Explorator”), and Mutapa Mining and Processing LDA (“MMP”) (the “Mining Contractor”). MMP is currently the owner of a 42,000 tonne per month hard rock processing plant, that includes crushing, milling and gravity recovery circuits and a furnace, for mining and mineral processing, located in the Manica region of Mozambique. The MMP plant has already had over US$11 million invested to date and, so far as the Company is aware, represents the only sophisticated hard rock processing capacity in the Manica region. The MMP plant is the key reason supporting the rationale of agreeing the Collaboration Agreement, as it reduces both capital expenditure requirement and the time to production of the Manica Project. Xtract are satisfied that MMP has the necessary technical and operational capability to execute the proposed development plan at Manica, including the installation, commissioning and operation of the proposed CIL. This agreement replaces the Omnia Collaboration and Joint Venture Agreement. Manica Alluvial Gold Project EasternHalfoftheManicaConcession On 10 July 2017, the Company concluded a mining contractor agreement (“Agreement”) with Sino Minerals Investment Company Limited (“Sino Minerals”), who were given exclusive mining rights to mine the Eastern half of the alluvial in the Manica Concession. The Agreement will endure for a period of 10 years or the depletion of alluvials, with the option to extend for a further period of 5 years, if the alluvials have not depleted, by Sino Minerals as well as rights of early termination either party. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 5 Strategic Report CONTINUED The Company has the responsibility for recording the gold concentrate produced on a daily basis and Sino Minerals is responsible for the smelting of the gold concentrate and delivering to the Company gold dore bars equal to 25% of the gold concentrate produced and the Company retains an equivalent of 19% after the deduction of the 6% mining production tax. Sino Minerals is responsible and liable for any rehabilitation of the mining concession to the extent mined, as required under the relevant mining laws.

WesternHalfoftheManicaConcession On 16 January 2019, the Company concluded an additional mining contractor agreement (“Mining Contractor Agreement”) with Huafei Gold Resources Co Limitada (formerly Sino Minerals Investment Company Limited) (“Contract Miner”) for the exploitation of alluvial gold deposits at Manica at its Manica mining concession in Mozambique. The Contract Miner appointed given exclusive right to mine the entire unconsolidated alluvial deposits on the Permitted Area of the Mining Concession area. The Agreement will endure for a period of 10 years or the depletion of alluvials, with the option to extend for a further period of 5 years, if the alluvials have not depleted, by the Contract Miner as well as rights of early termination either by the Company or the Contract Miner. The Agreement included performance targets whereby the Contract Miner from 1 February 2019 would be required to have 2 fully operational plants with a minimum throughput of 200 tonnes per hour on a consistent 24 hours per day basis. The Company will be responsible for recording the gold concentrate produced from the permitted area on a daily basis. The Contractor will be responsible for the smelting of the gold concentrate and delivery of gold dore bars. The Company will be responsible for all statutory and legal requirements regarding the license and for payment of the Mining Production Tax of 6%. The Agreement was subject to the condition precedent that the Contractor pays a total entry fee of US$350k to the Company (“Entry Fee”). An initial US$150k was paid on the date signing of the Agreement, and the remaining US$200k to be recovered through future alluvial gold production. In consideration for the appointment of the Mining Contractor, the Company will initially pay the Mining Contractor a net fee of 72% of gold produced by the Mining Contractor and the Company will therefore initially retain 28% of the sales value of all gold produced (equivalent to 22% after payment by the Company of the applicable Mining Production Tax of 6%) and will continue with the above fee arrangement until the Entry Fee has been settled in full. Thereafter, the Company will pay the Mining Contractor a fee of 74% of gold produced by the Mining Contractor and the Company will therefore retain 26% of the sales value of all gold produced, equivalent to 20% after payment by Explorator of the applicable Mining Production Tax of 6% (the “Net Sales Balance”). 6 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Strategic Report CONTINUED Alluvial Collaboration Agreement On 30 October 2018, the Company agreed to revise the terms of the collaboration agreement with Nexus Capital Limited (previously Mineral Technologies International Limited, “Nexus”), for the exploitation of alluvial gold deposits at Manica. The new Collaboration Agreement which took effect as of 1 June 2018 and the principle terms are as follows: GoldProduction&NexusFees The total amount of gold produced from the Mining Concession Area, less the percentage Mining Production Tax and gold paid the Contract Miners, (“Net Gold Production”), to be shared equally the Company and Nexus. Nexus will be entitled to an amount equal to 100% of the sales’ price of Nexus’s share of the Net Gold Production, less Nexus’s pro rata share of transport costs, and 50% of any transporter costs and refinery fees recovered from the Contract Miners. Any Entry Fees payable by any Mining Contractor to Explorator after 31 May 2018 will now be divided equally between the Company and Nexus. Projectcosts Nexus will be responsible for contributing US$20k towards monthly costs and expenses of the project (“Project Costs”) as well 50% of any land compensation costs (comprising any ad hoc compensation payments made to local inhabitants of the Mining Concession Area to allow the alluvial mining of the Mining Concession Area). Settlements The Company will pay a settlement amount of US$76k in relation to fees due to Nexus for the period 1 January and 31 May 2018. As at 31 December 2018, a total fee of US$204k (£160k) (2017-US$57k (£42k)) has been invoiced by Nexus to the Company relating to 2017. Zambia Zambian Copper-Gold Projects The Xtract targets in Zambia can be classified as iron oxide copper gold (“IOCG”) type, a deposit type first recognised at the giant Olympic Dam project in Australia. Several mineral deposits of this style have recently been recognised in Zambia, genetically and spatially related to the major sediment-hosted deposits of the nearby Copperbelt. They are generally underexplored compared to the Copperbelt deposits. Matrix (Kajevu) Project The project is located in the Kasempa district of southwestern Zambia. It has not previously been systematically explored and no historic drilling is known which might have tested its extension to depth. A small open pit trial mine was previously developed over a copper-gold mineralised, hematite-quartz breccia vein zone, 3-4m in width. Selective composite grab samples taken by the Company from exposed mineralisation at the western end of the pit returned assay values ranging 3.99-7.28% Cu, 1.0-3.42g/t Au. The pit operators reported recovery and sale of high-grade copper from hand-picked material, as well as recovery of alluvial gold nuggets. The vein system can be traced continuously for at least 800 metres within the Licence. The system continues to be strongly altered and brecciated towards the west, however there is no visible copper mineralisation at surface outside the pit, probably due to near-surface leaching. Copper mineralisation is also exposed in a trial digging within the southeast corner of the license, more than 2 kilometres from the open pit. A selective grab sample taken from mineralised material at this locality returned assay values of 4.49% Cu, 2.94g/t Au. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 7 Strategic Report CONTINUED Xtract is targeting a larger deposit than that worked by the previous operator by undertaking Licence-wide sampling and surveying. A soil sampling survey comprising 789 samples was carried out during April 2019 on a 100 x 50m grid. Samples were sieved on site and analysed using a hand-held XRF spectrometer for a range of elements. Results returned values up to 177ppm Cu close to the vicinity of the copper-gold mineralisation in the former open pit, above an anomalous threshold of 25ppm Cu. It was noted that anomalous values extend for over 600m to the west as far as the licence boundary. The soil geochemistry provides encouragement that copper-gold mineralisation may extend into the unmined area to the west. Accompanying elements, including iron and potassium, show a marked east-west trend over a strike of up to 2.5km, which may reflect a more extensive alteration zone surrounding the main mineralised structure. A ground magnetic survey has been commissioned over the property to help delineate structural trends and identify the extent of the mineralised zone at depth. Summary of the agreement Eureka Project The Eureka copper-gold property is accessed by a 100km dirt road from Kabwe, west of the Zambian Copperbelt district. Bedrock comprises primarily metasedimentary rocks of the Katanga Supergroup, similar to those hosting the world-class deposits of the Copperbelt. Previous exploration, including limited drilling, has been carried out periodically by several companies from the early 1950s until 2006. Work focussed on a northwest-southeast structural corridor with associated bedrock alteration, quartz veining and copper mineralisation in at least two localities, known as Eureka and Eureka West. Historic records (which have not been independently verified by the Company) reported downhole drill intercepts from the Eureka prospect up to 21.73m @ 2.78% Cu. A subsequent unverified and non-JORC compliant mineral resource was estimated by Caledonia Mining. A small open pit was developed by a local operator within this resource in 2008, when about 1,000 tonnes of ore at 3% Cu was reportedly recovered. The open pit is currently flooded, but mineralised boulder piles at site comprise brecciated vein quartz, heavily oxidised in places with hematite, limonite and malachite evident. A composite grab sample taken by Xtract from this material returned values of 2.01% Cu, 1.00g/t Au, 3.99g/t Ag. Based on review of the historical drilling, the copper-gold zone at Eureka remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast as well as to depth. A second target, Eureka West, is situated almost a kilometre to the west-southwest from the Eureka open pit. Limited shallow drilling by previous explorers discovered low-grade copper mineralisation. A site visit by Xtract discovered a recent shallow excavation through laterite cover into strongly copper-mineralised bedrock, comprising heavily altered dolomite, with banded iron carbonates and vuggy quartz. A composite grab sample collected from boulder piles at the site assayed 9.81% Cu, 1.94g/t Au, 13.77g/t Ag. It appears that this target was missed by earlier exploration and it has not been tested by drilling to date. Several other targets on the Eureka property also remain to be tested. The Company has acquired an extensive historic exploration database on the property and is currently compiling and reviewing the data to guide future exploration, with a primary focus on the two areas of high-grade copper-gold mineralisation already identified. Funding During 2018, there were no placing of the Company’s Ordinary shares. Business Review The Company evaluates new exploration and appraisal opportunities continually, including businesses and projects in precious and base metals. 8 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Strategic Report CONTINUED The Company is required by the Companies Act 2006 to include a business review in this report.

The Group’s basic loss per share decreased to 0.20p (2017: basic loss per share of 0.60p). The Manica alluvial operations which commenced with its first production in October 2017, continued with its first full year of production and gold sales for the year amounted £0.89 million (2017: £0.17 million). Operating and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased from the prior year and amounted to £1.65 million (2017: £1.06 million). The increase was primarily due to there being a full year of production at the Manica alluvial operations compared less than 3 months in the prior year as well additional costs relating to new subsidiaries within the group structure. Non-administrative project costs decrease during the year to £0.15 million (2017: £0.26 million). The Company continued implementing certain measures which assist in achieving a corporate overhead cost base consistent with other junior mining companies. The Group’s Other income of £0.06 million consisted of mining contractor entry fees received from the Company in 2018 (2017: £0.48) while in 2017 consisted primarily of penalties which were accrued by the Company due to non-performance by alluvial mining contractors. Finance income from continuing and discontinued operations amounted £0.11 million which primarily relates to a foreign exchange gain of £0.09 million and in the prior year a cost of (2017: £0.58 million) of which £0.47 million. related to a provision for bad debts (Income receivable from penalties on non-performance). The loss from discontinuing operations amounted to £Nil million (2017: £Nil million). Cash Position The Group’s net cash position at 31 December 2018 was £0.44 million (2017: £1.66 million) with no outstanding borrowings (2017: Nil million (US$ Nil million)) under a Loan Note Agreement with YA Global Master SPV Ltd (“YAGM”). At 31 December 2018 the Company had no additional borrowing facilities. Environmental Responsibility The Company recognises that the Group’s operations require it to have regard to the potential impact these activities may have on the environment. Wherever possible, the Company also ensures that all related companies are encouraged to comply with the local regulatory requirements with regard to the environment. Risks and Uncertainties The principal risks facing the Company are set out below. Risk assessment and evaluation is an essential part of the Group’s planning and an important aspect of the Group’s internal control system. General and Economic Risks: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) 10 Contractions in the world economies or increases in the rate of inflation resulting from international conditions; Movements in the equity and share markets in the United Kingdom and throughout the world; Movements in global equity and share markets and changes in market sentiment towards the resource industry; Currency exchange rate fluctuations and, in particular, the relative prices of the US Dollar, Mozambican Metical and the UK Pound; Adverse changes in factors affecting the success of exploration and development and mining operations, such as increases in expenses, changes in government policy and further regulation of the industry; unforeseen major failure, breakdowns or repairs required to key items of plant and equipment resulting in significant delays, notwithstanding regular programmes of repair, maintenance and upkeep; and unforeseen adverse geological factors or prolonged weather conditions. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Strategic Report CONTINUED Funding Risk: (cid:1) The Company may not be able to raise, either by debt or further equity, sufficient funds to enable completion of planned exploration, investment and/or development projects. Commodity Risk: (cid:1) Commodities are subject to high levels of volatility in price and demand. The price of commodities depends on a wide range of factors, most of which are outside the control of the Company. Production costs depend on a wide range of factors, including commodity prices, capital and operating costs in relation to any operational site. Exploration and Development Risks: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Exploration and development activity is subject to numerous risks, including failure to achieve estimated mineral resource, recovery and production rates and capital and operating costs; Success in identifying economically recoverable reserves can never be guaranteed. The Company also cannot guarantee that the companies in which it has invested will be able to obtain the necessary permits and approvals required for development of their projects; Some of the countries in which the Company operates have native title law, which could affect exploration activities; The companies in which the Company has an interest may be required to undertake clean-up programmes resulting from any contamination from their operations or to participate in site rehabilitation programmes which may vary from country to country. The Group’s policy is to follow all necessary laws and regulations and it is not aware of any present material issues in this regard. Alluvial gold is random in nature and its distribution varies in degrees of fineness and maybe insufficient in quantity and could present processing constraints with recoverability; Relations with Shareholders The Board is committed to providing effective communication with the shareholders of the Company, with significant developments disseminated through stock exchange announcements. The Board regards the annual general meeting as a forum for communication between the Company and its shareholders and encourages shareholders’ participation in its agenda. Outlook The year has been a challenging one, but I am pleased to say that we issue this report in a stable, focused manner with a clear vision on how the Company will go forward. The Manica Project offers many opportunities which can be exploited. We intend to move forward with the hard rock open pit and to bring it into production as soon as is practicable and are currently discussing various proposals. We are confident that we will further engage with other contractors in the Manica area working the alluvials, which we anticipate should lead to additional revenues being achieved. Geopolitical tensions and finance market uncertainties lead us to believe that the coming year will see a stronger gold price which the Company could benefit from.

By Order of the Board Colin Bird ExecutiveChairman 29 May 2019 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 15 Corporate Governance Introduction In April 2018, the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) published an updated version of its Code which provides UK small and mid-sized companies with a corporate governance framework that is appropriate for a Company of our size and nature. The Board considers the principles and recommendations contained in the QCA Code are appropriate and have therefore chosen to apply the QCA Code. The updated 2018 QCA Code has 10 principles that should be applied. Each principle is listed below together with a short explanation of how the Company applies each of the principles: Principle One BusinessModelandStrategy The Board has and continues to pursue a strategy which can achieve long term value to its shareholders. The investment framework has been to identify and invest in near-term resources assets that: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Can be brought into production within 24 months; Are near or at surface without major capital expenditure; Are on the low end of the cash cost curve and have further upside growth potential; A low entry cost and located in favourable mining jurisdictions The Company has in the past focused on precious metals and in particular gold projects and as at the date of this report has also 2 new base metal projects in Zambia which meet the above criteria, whether it be an active or strategic investment. The Company will continue to seek to grow both businesses organically and will seek out further joint ventures and other arrangements that create enhanced value. Principle Two Understanding&MeetingShareholderNeedsandExpectations The Board is fully committed to developing a good understanding of the needs and expectations of the Company’s shareholder base as well as maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. There are currently no institutional shareholders with the majority shareholder base being private shareholders. The Company has ongoing relationships with its private shareholders. All shareholders are encouraged to attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting and other shareholder meetings. Investors also have access to current information on the Company though its website, www.xtractresources.com, and via the Executive Chairman, Colin Bird who is available to answer investor relations enquiries. Principle Three Consideringwiderstakeholder&socialresponsibilities&theirimplicationsforlong-termsuccess Long-term success relies upon good relations with different stakeholder group including internal and external stakeholders. The Board recognises the importance of the Company reliant upon the efforts of the employees of the Company and its contractors, suppliers, regulators and other stakeholders. The Company’s local subsidiary, Explorator Limitada deals on a regular basis with institutions such as the Ministry of Mines and its subordinate departments, the Ministry of Land and Environmental as well as the Local Government of the District of Manica. The Company is also involved with the local community including projects, which have and will benefit the local community and surrounding areas. 16 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance CONTINUED As the Company progresses with its exploration projects in Zambia, it will implement the same procedures as currently in place with the rest of the group. Management have focused on implementing put in place processes and systems to ensure that there is close oversight and contact with its key resources and relationships. The Company has close ongoing relationships with a broad range of its stakeholders and provides them with the opportunity to raise issues and provide feedback to the Company. Principle Four RiskManagement In addition to its other roles and responsibilities, the Audit Committee will be focusing on further ensuring that procedures are in place and are being implemented effectively to identify, evaluate and manage the significant risks faced by the Company. The risk assessment matrix below sets out those risks and identifies their ownership and the controls that are in place. This matrix is updated as changes arise in the nature of risks or the controls that are implemented to mitigate them. The Audit Committee will review and assess the risk matrix and the effectiveness on an annual basis. The following principal risks and controls to mitigate them, have been identified: Activity Risk Impact Control(s) Management Retention of key staff Effect the overall operating capability Consideration of longer-term incentive forms of plans along with other remuneration Strategic Single Jurisdiction Changes arising could adversely effect operations & value of assets Single Commodity Risk Commodities being subject to high levels of volatility in price and demand. Being exposed to one type of commodity would have a greater impact operations and profitability. Constantly evaluate political and economic risk. Further maintaining cordial relations with the relevant authorities. further opportunities in other jurisdictions Evaluate Company is active in seeking out other opportunities, which may diversify commodity risk. Regulatory Risk Non-compliance of AIM rules & Companies Act Withdrawal of Authorisation and censure Reliance and guidance from a number of Company advisors which helps instil a culture of compliance in the Company at all levels Financial Liquidity, market and credit risk Entity not able to continue as going concern Capital management policies and procedures Inappropriate controls and accounting policies Reduction in asset values Incorrect reporting of assets Appropriate authority and investment levels in place The Directors will continue to further establish procedures, as represented by this statement, for the purpose of providing a system of internal control. Due to the size of the Company and the interaction on a daily basis between Directors and Officers of the Company, the Board at this stage do not deem it necessary of practical to incorporate an internal audit function. The Board will continue to monitor the need for an internal audit function and continue to work closely with the Company’s financial accountant to ensure the effectiveness of its control systems. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 17 Corporate Governance CONTINUED Principle Five AWell-FunctioningBoardofDirectors The Board currently comprises of 3 members, 2 Executive members (The Executive Chairman Colin Bird and Finance Director Joel Silberstein) and 1 Non-Executive Peter Moir. Biographical details of the current Directors are set out within Principle Six below. Executive and Non-Executive Directors are subject to re-election at intervals of no more than three years. All the Directors including the Non-Executive Directors are considered to be part time but are expected to provide as much time to the Company as is required. All letters of appointment of Directors are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. The Board elects a Chairman to chair every meeting. The Board holds formal meetings periodically as issues arise and require more details. The Directors are in contact and discuss all necessary issues on a regular basis and to ensure that the Non-Executive director, while not involved in the day to day running of the Company is still kept up to date on a regular basis. The Company has established an Audit, Committee and a Remuneration Committee, particulars of which appear hereafter. All appointments to the Board are made by the Board as a whole as oppose to a Nominations Committee. The Non- Executive Director is considered to be part time but can be expected to provide as much time to the Company as is required. From September 2012 to August 2016, Colin Bird acted as the Non- Executive Chairman. In August 2016, Colin Bird moved from being a Non-Executive Director to Executive Chairman shortly before the resignation of the former CEO. This change to an executive role came at a challenging time for the Company and through Colin Bird’s leadership and guidance the Company has been able to refocus operations. The QCA recommends a balance between executive and non-executive Directors and recommends that there be two independent non-executives. In the case of Xtract, the Board has since the Board changes in August 2016 considered its composition to be appropriate considering the stage of operations and the period of restructuring and change. The Board continues to monitor the need for additional independent Non-Executive directors based on operational performance and costs. Peter Moir is considered to be an Independent Director. The Board continues to review further Non- Executive appointments as scale and complexity grows. AttendanceatBoardandCommitteeMeetings To date the Directors, have attended all meetings. In order to be efficient, the Directors wherever possible try and meet formally and informally both in person and if not practical then by telephone. Principle Six AppropriateSkillsandExperienceoftheDirectors The Board currently consists of three Directors and, in addition, the Company has employed the outsourced services of Lion Mining Finance Ltd to act as the Company Secretary. The Company believes that the current balance of skills in the Board as a whole, reflects a very broad range of commercial and professional skills across geographies and industries and each of the Director’s has experience in public markets. The Board recognises that it currently has the necessary skills but will consider as part of any future recruitment an additional Non-Executive director with mining experiences, if the Board concludes that replacement or additional directors are required. The Board shall review annually the appropriateness and opportunity for continuing professional development whether formal or informal. 18 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance CONTINUED Colin Bird ExecutiveChairman Colin is a chartered mining engineer with multi commodity mine management experience in Africa, Spain, Latin America and in the Middle East.

Principle Seven EvaluationofBoardPerformance The Company does not perform any Internal evaluation of the Board, the Committee and individual Directors. This will be undertaken going forward on an annual basis. The process will be in the form of peer appraisal and discussions in order to determine the effectiveness and performance of the Executive Directors, as well as the continued independence of the Non-Executive Directors. The Appraisals will take place during the 2nd half of the calendar year. The results of the appraisals of each director will be benchmarked against any previous targets or milestones set in the previous year and will identify any new corporate and financial targets for the coming year. Principle Eight CorporateCulture The Board’s decisions regarding strategy and risk could impact the corporate culture of the Company as a whole and could impact the performance of the Company. The Board is aware that the tone and culture set by the Board could impact all aspects of the Company as a whole and have an effect on the employees. The Board recognises that their decisions regarding strategy and risk could also impact the corporate culture of the Company as a whole and that this will impact the performance of the Company. The Board is very aware that the tone and culture set by the Board could impact all Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 19 Corporate Governance CONTINUED aspects of the Company as a whole and the way that employees behave. Therefore, the importance of sound ethical values and behaviours is crucial to the ability of the Company to successfully achieve its corporate objectives. The directors consider that at present the Company has an open culture facilitating comprehensive dialogue and feedback and enabling positive and constructive challenge. The Company has adopted, with effect from the date on which its shares were admitted to AIM, a code for Directors’ and employees’ dealings in securities, which is appropriate for a company whose securities are traded on AIM and is in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation which came into effect in 2016. Principle Nine MaintenanceofGovernanceStructuresandProcesses The QCA code recommends that the Company maintains governance structures and processes in line with its culture and appropriate to its size and complexity. Ultimate authority for all aspects of the Company’s activities rests with the Board, the respective responsibilities of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer arising as a consequence of delegation by the Board. The Board has adopted appropriate delegations of authority, which set out matters, which are reserved to the Board. The Executive Chairman is responsible for the effectiveness of the Board, and the management of the Company’s business and primary contact with shareholders has been delegated by the Board to the Executive Chairman. Audit and Compliance Committee The Audit Committee comprises Peter Moir who chairs the committee and Colin Bird. This committee has primary responsibility for monitoring the Financial Reporting function and internal controls in order to ensure that the financial performance of the Company is properly measured and reported. The committee receives the Financial reports from the executive management and auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use throughout the Company. The Audit Committee shall meet not less than twice in each financial year and it has unrestricted access to the Company’s auditors. Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee comprises Peter Moir who chairs the committee and Colin Bird. The Remuneration Committee reviews the performance of the executive directors and employees and makes recommendations to the Board on matters relating to their remuneration and terms of employment. The Remuneration Committee also considers and approves the granting of share options pursuant to the share option plan and the award of shares in lieu of bonuses pursuant to the Company’s Remuneration Policy. Nominations Committee The Board has agreed that appointments to the Board will be made by the Board as a whole and so has not created a Nominations Committee. Non-Executive Directors The Board is in the process of adopting guidelines for the appointment of Non-Executive Directors, which have been in place before the year end. The guidelines will provide for the orderly succession and rotation of the Chairman and non- executive directors insofar as both the Chairman and non-executive directors will be appointed for an initial term of three years and may, at the Board’s discretion believing it to be in the best interests of the Company, be appointed for subsequent terms. The Chairman may serve as a Non-Executive Director before commencing a first term as Chairman. 20 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Corporate Governance CONTINUED In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Board complies with: a duty to act within their powers; a duty to promote the success of the Company; a duty to exercise independent judgement; a duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence; a duty to avoid conflicts of interest; a duty not to accept benefits from third parties and a duty to declare any interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement.

By order of the Board Colin Bird ExecutiveChairman 29 May 2019 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 21 Independent Auditor’s Report TO THE MEMBERS OF XTRACT RESOURCES PLC Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Xtract Resources Plc (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 December 2018 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement , the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Cash Flows, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity, and the related notes 1 to 29, including the significant accounting policies in note 3. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. In our opinion: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2018 and of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s loss for the year then ended; the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and the parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: (cid:1) (cid:1) the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 22 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report CONTINUED Carrying value of intangible non-current assets – Development expenditure The Group’s Intangible Non-Current Assets which entirely comprises of the Manica licence 3990C represents a significant asset on its statement of financial position totalling £10,285,000 as at 31 December 2018. Management and the Board are required to ensure that only costs which meet the IFRS criteria of an asset and accord with the Group’s accounting policy are capitalised within Development Expenditure assets. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS Management and the Board are required to assess whether there is any indication of impairment of these assets. Given the significance of the intangible non-current assets on the Group’s statement of financial position and the significant management judgement involved in the determination and the assessment of the carrying values of these assets there is an increased risk of material misstatement. HowtheMatterwasaddressedintheAudit The procedures included, but were not limited to, assessing and evaluating management’s assessment of whether any impairment indicators have been identified within the Group’s intangible non-current assets, the indicators being: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Expiring or imminently expiring concessions, licences or rights ; Projections of declining gold prices and/or declining demand; Projections of increased future capital costs or operating costs. In addition, we reviewed the Definitive Feasibility Study which supports the underlying value in use for the Concession as a potential cash-generating unit and assessed the reasonableness of the forecasted revenues and expenditure, the reserve estimations ,the projected gold grade and prices and production levels and the resulting net present value. We also assessed the disclosures included in the financial statements in relation to the intangible non-current assets. Materiality In planning and performing our audit we applied the concept of materiality. An item is considered material if it could reasonably be expected to change the economic decisions of a user of the financial statements. We used the concept of materiality to both focus our testing and to evaluate the impact of any misstatements identified. Based on professional judgement, we determined overall materiality for the group financial statements as a whole to be £112,000, being 1% of Group Total Assets, with a lower materiality set at £85,000 for intangible non-current assets. Other information The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 23 Independent Auditor’s Report CONTINUED Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: (cid:1) (cid:1) the information given in the Directors‘ Report and Strategic Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the Directors ‘Report and Strategic Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors‘ Report and Strategic Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of directors 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, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 24 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Independent Auditor’s Report CONTINUED Use of our report This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. 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 auditor’s report and for no other purpose.

The notes on pages 32-62 form an integral part of these financial statements Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 31 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 1. General information Xtract Resources Plc is a Company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The address of the registered office is 7/8 Kendrick Mews, South Kensington, London, SW7 3HG. The nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 3 to 11. These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling. Foreign operations are included in accordance with the policies set out in note 3. 2. Adoption of new and revised Standards New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Group The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018: (cid:1) (cid:1) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers No retrospective adjustments were required following the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. On 1 January 2018 (the date of initial application of IFRS 9), the Group’s management assessed which business models apply to the financial assets held by the Group and classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories. No reclassifications were required. New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Interpretations which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective for the year presented: (cid:1) (cid:1) IFRS 16 in respect of Leases which will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective date 1 January 2021). There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group. 3. Significant accounting policies Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the European Union. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified for certain items carried at fair value, as stated in the accounting policies. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). These consolidated financial statements are made up for the year ended 31 December 2018. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 32 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Going concern The operations of the Group have been financed through operating cash flows as well as through funds which have been raised from shareholders. As at 31 December 2018, the Group held cash balances of £442k and an operating loss has been reported. Since November 2017, the Group has been generating revenues, from its Manica Alluvial operations, which have been covering the Manica operating costs and not the costs for the rest of the Group. The Directors anticipate net operating cash outflows for the Group for the next twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Directors have assessed the working capital requirements for the forthcoming twelve months and have undertaken assessments which have considered different scenarios based on a number of production forecasts until June 2020. Upon reviewing those cash flow projections for the forthcoming twelve months, the directors consider that the Company is likely to require additional financial resources in the twelve-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements to enable the Company to fund its current operations and to meet its commitments. Furthermore, the Group incurs corporate overhead costs on an ongoing basis. In the going concern review, the Group has reviewed further cash savings which may be made if required. The Directors would then expect for the funds to be raised through further equity fund raising which has been successfully achieved in prior years. As is common with early producing companies, the Company raises finance for its activities in discrete tranches to finance its activities for limited periods only and further funding will be required from time to time to finance those activities. Further funding will not be required for the Manica Hard Rock collaboration agreement which was signed on 29 May 2019. Nevertheless, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate ability to raise resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. Parent only income statement Xtract Resources Plc has not presented its own income statement as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 was £464k (2017: loss £8,591k). Business combinations Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquire. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant IFRSs. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 33 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously-held interests in the acquired entity are re- measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 (2008) are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year. Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each Group Company are maintained in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each Group Company are expressed in Pound Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentational currency for the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. The Group has elected to treat goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to IFRSs as Sterling denominated assets and liabilities. 34 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Deferred tax Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Intangible assets Landacquisitionrightsandminedevelopmentcosts The costs of land acquisition rights in respect of mining projects and mine development are capitalised as intangible assets. These costs are amortised over the expected life of mine to their residual values using the units-of-production method using estimated proven and probable mineral reserves. Intangibleexplorationandevaluationexpenditureassets The costs of exploration properties and leases, which include the cost of acquiring prospective properties and exploration rights, are capitalised as intangible assets. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised within exploration and evaluation properties until such time that the activities have reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of commercially exploitable reserves when they are transferred to tangible assets. Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment in accordance with the indicators of impairment as set out in IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Reserves. In circumstances where a property is abandoned, the cumulative capitalised costs relating to the property are written off in the year. Capitalised exploration costs are not amortised. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 35 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Property, plant and equipment Tangible fixed assets represent mining plant and equipment, office and computer equipment and are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, which is calculated on either a fixed period or the expected life of mine using the unit of production method, as appropriate. The average life in years is estimated as follows: Office and computer equipment Plant and machinery 3-10 7-15 Until they are brought into use, fixed assets and equipment to be installed are included within assets under construction and are not depreciated. The cost of maintenance, repairs and replacement of minor items of tangible fixed assets are charged to the income statement as incurred. Renewals and asset improvements are capitalised. Upon sale or retirement of tangible fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements. Any resulting gains or losses are included in the income statement. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 36 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financialassets All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Available-for-salefinancialassets(‘AFS’) Listed and unlisted equity instruments held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as being AFS and are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses that are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the closure of business on the statement of financial position date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established. The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in the foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the balance sheet date. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. Financialassetsatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settle within 12 months, otherwise, they are classified as non-current. Loansandreceivables Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short- term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 37 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairmentoffinancialassets Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. For listed and unlisted equity instruments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. For all other financial assets objective evidence of impairment could include: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in the national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. De-recognitionoffinancialassets The Group de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks or rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset, and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset, and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. 38 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) FinancialLiabilities Initialrecognition Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of interest-bearing loans and borrowings, net of direct transactions costs. Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. The group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. Financialliabilitiesatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss Financial liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”) include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Loansandborrowingsandtradeandotherpayables Interest-bearing loans and borrowings and trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium or costs that are integral part of EIR. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the associated obligation is discharged or cancelled. Inventory Inventories consist of the Company’s share of gold dore bars produced by the Alluvial Mining Contractors, which have been smelted and are available for further processing. All inventories are valued at the lower of cost of operations and net realisable value. Costs include cost, which are closely related to the overall alluvial operations including monitoring and compensation costs. Net Realisable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the Company is expected to realise after the product is processed and sold less costs to bring the product to sale. Where inventories have been written down to net realisable value, a new assessment is made in the following period. In instances where there has been change in circumstances which demonstrates an increase in the net realisable value, the amount written down will be reversed. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 39 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments to certain Directors, employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 26. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. Finance Income Finance income comprises interest income (including available-for-sale financial assets). Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Operating Leases Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. FinanceLeases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in the finance lease obligation. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Non-current assets under finance leases are depreciated over the useful life of the asset, under the reasonable expectation that the group will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. Reclamationcostandmineclosureprovision The Group records a liability and corresponding asset for the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations for future site reclamation and closure where the liability is probable and reasonable estimate can be made of the obligation. The estimated present value of the obligation is reassessed on an annual basis or where new material information becomes available. Increases or decreases to the obligation usually arise due to change in legal or regulatory requirements, the extent of environmental remediation required, methods of reclamation, cost estimates, or discount rates. The present value is determined based on current market assessments of the time value of money using discount rates specific to the country in which the reclamation site is located and is determined as the risk- free rate of borrowing approximated by the yield on sovereign debt for that country, with a maturity approximating the end of mine life. Revenuerecognition Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and sales tax or duty. Revenue from sales of gold dore bars, is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is considered to occur when title passes to the customer. This occurs when the concentrate is physically transferred on the date of shipment. Interest is recognised in profit and loss, using the effective interest rate method. 40 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Chairman who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. Fair value estimation Financial instruments are carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2); and Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3). (i) Financial instruments in Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: (cid:1) (cid:1) quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments; and the fair value of derivative financial instrument is calculated based on the Company’s quoted market price and a prescribed formula in accordance with the respective equity swap If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. (ii) Financial instruments in Level 3 Specific criteria used to estimate the value financial instruments include: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) management’s assessment of the applicable market and sector; financial reports and other information supplied the investee’s management; and transactions in the investee’s shares 4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The following are the critical judgements that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 41 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) Availableforsaleinvestments The Group reviews the fair value of its unquoted equity instruments at each statement of financial position date. This requires management to make an estimate of the fair value of the unquoted securities in the absence of an active market, which has mainly been established by use of recent arm’s length transactions, as adjusted by a discount, where required. Uncertainty also exists due to the early stage of development of certain of the investments. The fair value of available for sale investments at 31 December 2018 is determined to be £Nil (2017: £Nil). Further details are given in note 17. Impairmentofintangibleassetsandinvestments The assessment of intangible assets for any indications involves judgement. If an indication of impairment, as defined in IFRS 6 or IAS 36 as appropriate, exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed, and an impairment loss recognised to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The calculation of recoverable amount requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the intangible assets are allocated. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Estimatesindeterminingthelifeofthemines(LOM) The LOM is determined from development plans based on mine management’s estimates and includes total mineral reserve and a portion of the mineral resource. These plans are updated from time to time and take into consideration the actual current cost of extraction, as well as certain forward projections. These projections are reviewed by the board. Estimatesindetermininginventoryvalue Net realisable value tests are performed at the reporting date and represent the estimated future sales price of the product the entity expects to realise when the product is sold less costs to bring the product to sale. Ore stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile and are assessed primarily through surveys and assays. Share-basedpayments The estimation of share-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Group has made estimates as to the volatility of its own shares, the probable life of options granted and the time of exercise of those options. The model used by the Group is the Black-Scholes model. Fairvalueofderivativefinancialinstruments The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. 42 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 5.

The first tranche of US$400k was to be drawn down shortly after the execution date of the loan. The second tranche of US$300k could only be drawn down at the Company’s discretion and only once the first tranche has been fully repaid or converted into equity in Moz Gold. The first tranche was to be fully repaid by Moz Gold within 5 months of drawdown, with the first repayment of US$50k to be settled within 45 days of execution of the agreement. The remaining balance was payable on maturity. The second tranche was to be paid within 4 months of drawdown. Moz Gold at the time agreed to provide the Company with security over the processing plant and the use of proceeds were to be solely for working capital purposes for the alluvial operations. The Company reserved the right to convert the loan into equity at any time after the execution date of the agreement and may elect to convert the loan into a 25% share interest in Moz Gold. The conversion could have been in all or part of the loan. In the event that the Company elected to convert to equity, the Company would be obliged to repay all loan repayments that had been made back to Moz Gold and Moz Gold would issue and deliver to the Company a share certificate underlying the conversion within 7 days of the conversion. Upon completion of the first tranche, completion being either the full repayment or conversion of the principal and interest, the Company would have the option elect to have the second tranche paid in cash or convert into 10% share in Moz Gold. The conversion may be in all or part solely at the Company’s election. The Company did not convert the loan into a 25% share interest in Moz Gold. As at 31 December 2018, Moz Gold had drawn down US$394k (£318k) (2017-US$214k (£158k) of the first tranche and elected not to draw from the second tranche. 52 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 19.

The carrying amount of these assets approximates to their fair value. 26. Share-based payments Options/Warrants The Company has issued share options and to certain employees and officers of the Group, along with external third parties and warrants to the Company’s brokers for costs directly associated with share issuance. All share options/warrants vest immediately or within three years of the issue date. If the share options/warrants remain unexercised after the relevant time period from the date of grant the share options/warrants expire. Details of the Company’s share options/warrants outstanding during the year are as follows: Year ended 31 December 2018 Year ended 31 December 2017 Outstanding at beginning of year Granted during the year Exercised during the year Expired during the year Outstanding at the end of the year Exercisable at the end of the year Number of share options/ warrants 5,777,243 — — (2,880,993) 2,896,250 2,846,250 Weighted average exercise price p 12.60 — — 4.00 21.50 21.50 Number of share options/ warrants 7,171,476 12,686,159 (7,647,59) (6,433,333) 5,777,243 5,667,243 Weighted average exercise price p 9.60 2.55 1.70 5.00 12.60 12.60 The share options outstanding at 31 December 2018 had a weighted average exercise price of 21.5p (2017:12.6p), a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.53 years (2017: 3.53 years). All share options issued to directors and employees are recognised as an expense in the income statement over the vesting period of the options. During the year a total of Nil (2017: 12,686,159) warrants issued to brokers directly and upon the issuance of a convertible loan. Warrants associated with fund raisings were exercised at a weighted average price of Nil (2017: 1.7p). Share-options have been valued using the Black-Scholes model. Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Group’s share price over the previous year. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted; based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. The total charge in the year to the income statement was £Nil (2017: £50k). The total amount recognised in equity by the Group relating to share-based payments at the Balance Sheet date is £298k (2017: £298k) in the share-based payments reserve after the reversal of expired and lapsed share options, and £450k (2017: £647k) in the warrants reserve. 56 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 27. Financial instruments Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concern. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. Since October 2017, the Group started generating cash from its alluvial operations in Mozambique. And had previously managed its liquidity through raising finance to finance its activities for limited periods until further funding was required in order to provide for any shortfall in working capital and operating costs. The group will also look at a combination project funding where necessary. Significant accounting policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted (including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis for recognition of income and expenses) for each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3. Categories of financial instruments The Group calculates the fair value of assets and liabilities by reference to amounts considered to be receivable or payable at the balance sheet date. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities, which book value approximate their fair value. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 30 days. Other payables are to be settled within the next 12 months, as and when they become due. Market risk The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of foreign currency exchange rates. The Group applies a continuous review process to manage its exposure to foreign currency and equity price risk: (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) The respective exchange rates of the currencies for which the Group holds significant balances are monitored on a daily basis; known cash requirements in the respective currencies in which the Group transacts are matched against cash reserves and any shortfalls are addressed through transfers throughout the longest practical timeframes in order to minimise as best as possible foreign currency risk; and strategies are updated on a regular basis to reflect actual market data and the changing needs of the business. Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 57 Notes to the Financial Statements CONTINUED 27. Financial instruments (continued) Foreign currency risk management The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and consequently exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group is mainly exposed to the US Dollar, Mozambican Metical and Euro currency risk. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including tax liabilities) at the reporting date are as follows: Liabilities Assets 31 December 2018 £’000 31 December 2017 £’000 31 December 2018 £’000 31 December 2017 £’000 50 — 57 189 15 — 107 72 71 1 16 28 — 7 15 152 US dollar Danish Krone Euro Mozambican Metica Interest rate risk management The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to its cash and cash equivalents held and are not considered material. Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s principal financial assets are cash deposits and the credit risk on these liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event, which is evidence of a reduction in the recoverable cash flows. 28. Related party transactions Group Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation. During the year the Company invoiced fees to subsidiaries within the group amounting to a total of £376k (2017: £47k). Transactions with directors Lion Mining Finance Limited, a Company incorporated in the England and Wales, in which Colin Bird is a Director and shareholder has provided and continues to provide essential administrative services to the Company to carry out its operations in a cost-efficient manner. The total for services provided during the year amounted to £17k plus VAT. An amount of £4k was outstanding as at 31 December 2018 (2017: £7k). As at 31 December 2018 directors’ fees of £172k (2017: £172k) relating to current and prior year fees remains outstanding, of which £ 132k (2017: £132k) relates to Colin Bird and £40k (2017: £40k) relates to Peter Moir.

Option Agreement Eureka Copper/Gold Project Zambia On 5 March 2019, the Company announced that it concluded a Memorandum of Agreement (“Agreement”) with KPZ International Ltd. (“KPZ”) to enter into an Option Agreement for the Eureka project on the copper-gold small scale mining licence number 22134-HQ-SML (“Licence”) located in the Central part of The Republic of Zambia (“Eureka Project”). KeytermsoftheAgreement The Company agreed to spend up to US$200,000 (“Initial Expenditure Phase”) to assess the suitability of the Eureka Project for a resource drilling programme and thereafter feasibility study. In the event that the Company would not wish to proceed with the Eureka Project, the Company would be required to provide to KPZ all information and results gathered from the Initial Expenditure Phase. If the Company decides to proceed, then by no later than 1 October 2019, and following the Initial Expenditure Phase, the Company has an option to acquire 50% of the Eureka Project for the amount expended by it on the Initial Expenditure Phase. KPZ agreed to incorporate a local Zambian newly formed special purpose vehicle to hold the Eureka Project (“SPV”). KPZ will initially hold 100% (less 1 share to be held by a Zambian Shareholder) in the SPV. In the event that the Company exercises its option described above, KPZ’s shareholding in the SPV would be transferred to a second newly-formed company (“Newco”) such that Newco holds 100% (less 1 share held by a Zambian Shareholder) in the SPV, and the Company and KPZ would therefore each hold 50% (less 1 share) in Newco. No later than 1 December 2019, the Company would be required to present a detailed budget to KPZ to continue to scoping study.

Appointment of a proxy through CREST CREST members who wish to appoint and/or give instructions to a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual and by logging on to the following website: www.euroclear.com. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (the CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited’s (“Euroclear”) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Link Asset Services (ID RA10) by no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment of that meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Asset Services is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s) to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as is necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this regard, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) or the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. 6. Appointment of a proxy by joint holders In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy (in hard copy, by electronic means or through CREST), only the appointment submitted by the more senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company’s register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the more senior). For proxy appointment submitted by hard copy, the signature of only one of the joint holders is required on the form of proxy. 66 Xtract Resources PLC Annual Report 2018 Notice of Annual General Meeting CONTINUED 7. Changing a proxy appointment To change your proxy instructions, simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions: any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same shares, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. 8. Revocation of a proxy appointment In order to revoke a proxy instruction, you will need to inform the Company by sending a signed notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Link Asset Services, The Registry,34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU. In the case of a member that is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the Company or a duly appointed attorney for the Company.

The revocation notice must be received by Link Asset Services no later than 3.00 p.m. on 19 June 2019. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified, then your proxy appointment will remain valid. 9. Corporate representatives Any corporation which is a member may appoint one or more corporate representatives. Members can only appoint more than one corporate representative where each corporate representative is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. Members cannot appoint more than one corporate representative to exercise the rights attached to the same share(s). 10. Nominated persons If you are a person who has been nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Act”) to enjoy information rights (a “Nominated Person”): (a) (b) (c) you may have a right under an agreement between you and the member of the Company who has nominated you to have information rights (the “Relevant Member”) to be appointed or to have someone else appointed as a proxy for the Annual General Meeting; if you either do not have such a right or if you have such a right but do not wish to exercise it, you may have a right under an agreement between you and the Relevant Member to give instructions to the Relevant Member as to the exercise of voting rights; and your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Member (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them, not the Company, regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company, including any administrative matters.
