About
Goldplat                                                                                               

Goldplat plc is an AIM quoted gold producer with two market leading recovery
operations in South Africa and Ghana and an operational gold mine in
Kenya.   The Company produced 42,857 ounces of gold during FY 2017, with
40,285 gold equivalent ounces sold and transferred, resulting in an operating
profit from continuing operations of £2.9m for the year.  This result does
not benefit from the increased processing capacity that was achieved at the
Kilimapesa Gold Mine towards the end of FY 2017, with operational
profitability achieved during last two months of FY 2017.  Accordingly, the
Company believes it is well placed to build upon production and profitability
during FY 2018.

The Company's strategy is focussed on utilising cash flow generated from its
flagship gold recovery and mining operations to self-fund the sustainable
growth and expansion of its niche gold recovery business model
internationally. The Company also retains exposure to a small exploration
project in Ghana, in which Ashanti Gold Corp. is earning an interest via an
earn-in option agreement.
