In May 2009, KEFI announced the formation of a new minerals exploration jointly controlled entity, Gold & Minerals Co.
Limited ("G&M"), a limited liability company in Saudi Arabia, with leading Saudi construction and investment group Abdul
Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons Company Limited ("ARTAR"). KEFI is the operating partner with a 40% shareholding in G&M with
ARTAR holding the other 60%. KEFI provides G&M with technical advice and assistance, including personnel to manage and
supervise all exploration and technical studies. ARTAR provides administrative advice and assistance to ensure that G&M
remains in compliance with all governmental and other procedures. G&M is treated as a jointly controlled entity and has
been equity accounted and has reconciled its share in G&M's losses.
The above figures reported represent cumulative exploration activity incurred by G&M since its incorporation in 2009. The
accounting policy for exploration costs recorded in the G&M audited financial statements is to capitalise qualifying
expenditure and review for impairment, if applicable. This is in contrast to the Group's accounting policy relating to
exploration costs which is to expense costs through profit and loss until the Board decides on the development of a project
(Note 2). Consequently, exploration costs of G&M at 31 December 2016 amounting to SAR62.6 million (2015: SAR56.6 million)
have been adjusted to bring the figures in line with the Group's accounting policies.

22. Contingent liabilities
22.1 Geological database
In 2006, Atalaya Mining PLC (previously EMED) acquired a proprietary geological database that covers extensive parts of
Turkey and Greece and transferred to the Company that part of the geological database that relates to areas in Turkey.
Under the agreement, the Company has undertaken to make a payment of approximately £61,400 (AUD 105,000) for each tenement
it is subsequently awarded in Turkey and which was identified from the database. The maximum number of such payments
required under the agreement is four, resulting in a contingent liability of up to £246,000. These payments are to be
settled by issuing shares in the Company. To date, only one tranche of shares have been issued under this agreement in
June 2007 for £43,750 (AUD 105,000).
22.2 Charge issued
On 13 August 2015, the Company created a fixed charge in favour of AIB Group (UK) Plc over amounts held in the Company's
deposit accounts with the bank. The charge is in regard to time credit banking facilities provided by AIB Group (UK) Plc.
At 31 December 2016, the balance in the deposit accounts was £20,000.
22.3 Legal Allegations
A claim for damages of £9,000,000 (approximately ETB249 million) had been lodged against the Company in 2014. The claim was
based on the impact of exploration field activities conducted between 1998 and 2006, a period which pre-dated the Company's
involvement in the Tulu Kapi project. These exploration activities comprised the construction of drill pads and access
tracks. No objections had been made until 2014 when certain parties from outside the Tulu Kapi district raised this matter
and initiated court action. Those parties have since been removed by the Court rulings from the list of plaintiffs. The
Oromia Regional Supreme Court in April 2017 rejected 95% of these claims as having no basis in fact or law and reduced
KEFI's potential liability to c.£435,000 (ETB12,762,721). Moreover, the Company has appealed to the Federal Supreme Court
with regards to the remaining ETB12,762,721 on the basis that it remains firmly of the belief, on legal advice and as
previously reported, that it has no contingent or actual liability, having already settled any obligations when the matter
was originally closed by both the regulators and the land occupiers. The Federal Supreme Court last week officially
admitted the Company's appeal after due review, and the case is expected to be heard within the next two years.

Consolidation of Ordinary Shares
At the close of business, 1 March 2017, shareholders received one New Ordinary Share of nominal value 1.7 pence each for
every 17 Existing Ordinary Shares of nominal value 0.1 pence each. Immediately following the Consolidation (and prior to
the issue of the Fundraising Shares) the number of New Ordinary Shares in issue and admitted to trading on AIM was
228,407,085.
Placing and the Lanstead Subscription
The Company conditionally raised £5,620,000 million before expenses on 1 March 2017 through a placing of 104,295,888
ordinary shares of 1.7p each at a price of 5.61p per share. After the placing and the 17:1 consolidation approved on 1
March 2017 there are 332,702,973 shares on issue.
The Lanstead Subscription involves the issuance of 82,352,941 shares and is governed according to a 'sharing agreement' and
structured relative to a benchmark price, which has been set at 7.48p/share (0.44p/share pre-consolidation), such that KEFI
may receive more than £4,620,000 if the share price exceeds this level and vice versa if it does not. To this end, £693,000
was contributed in March 2017 by Lanstead, with the balance being paid in equal instalments of £218,000 per month (subject
to adjustment upwards or downwards) for 18 months commencing in April 2017.
Other
On 22 March 2017, 6,829,613 options were issued to persons who discharge director and managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs")
and a further 2,705,509 options have been granted to other non-board members of the senior management team. The options
have an exercise price of 7.5p, expire after 6 years, and vest in two equal annual instalments, the first upon the
achievement of practical completion of the planned processing plant at the Tulu Kapi Gold Project and the second upon the
achievement of nameplate capacity for a twelve-month period.

25. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
During the current year the Group adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that
are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2016. This adoption did not
have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Group.
Up to the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments
to existing standards have been published that are not yet effective for the current reporting period and which the Group
has not early adopted, as follows:
Issued by the IASB and adopted by the European Union New standards
· IFRS 9 ''Financial Instruments'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).
· IFRS 15 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018).
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"
IFRS 9 makes substantial changes to the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. There will only be three
categories of financial assets at either fair value through profit and loss, fair value through comprehensive income or
measured at amortized cost. On adoption of the standard the Group will have to re-determine the classification of its
financial assets based on the business model for each financial asset. This is not considered likely to give rise to any
significant adjustments, other than the re-classification.
The principal change to the measurement of financial assets measured at amortized cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income is that impairments will be recognized on an expected loss basis, compared with the current incurred
loss approach. As such, where there are expected to be credit losses, these are recognized in profit or loss. For financial
assets measured at amortized cost, the carrying amount is reduced for the loss allowance. For financial assets measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not
reduce the carrying amount of the financial assets.
Financial liabilities of the Group are expected to continue to be recognized at amortized cost.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"
The standard has been developed to provide a comprehensive set of principles in presenting the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is based around five steps in
recognizing revenue:
1. Identify the contract with the customer;
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3. Determine the transaction price;
4. Allocate the transaction price; and
5. Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group is not currently generating income from gold sales revenue, hence there is not considered to be any significant
impact at the Group's current stage of development. Management are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the
financial statements.
