Russell Lamming, Keras Resources CEO commented, "We have had our challenges
over the past few months as detailed in recent updates but we remain fully
committed to Keras and the business going forward. As recently announced, we
as a Board of Directors have invested further in the Company so are very much
aligned with our shareholder base and are focused on unlocking and realising
the value that we see within our assets.
"It has been a challenge that, despite meeting all of our funding obligations,
we have thus far not been able to amicably resolve our partner's funding
shortfall and that operations at the Spanish Fork processing facility have had
to be put on hold as a result. However, we are working diligently to resolve
this issue, marketing efforts are ongoing and the Diamond Creek high grade
material is still being sold into the North American organic phosphate
market. In Togo, we continue to pursue our discussions with the Government,
and we will provide further updates on the progress of the Exploitation
Permit approval process when we have those details."

CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
I am pleased to report on our activities over the past six months. As
previously announced, the financial period for Keras has been extended to 15
months and will end on 31 December 2021, enabling the accounts of Keras and
all its subsidiaries to terminate on the same date.
Diamond Creek Phosphate Mine (Diamond Creek) - Utah, US
Despite the headwinds we have faced since our last Interims report, the
Diamond Creek project, subject to a funding resolution, is well placed to
deliver into the robust North American fertiliser market. The mining season,
conducted from the end of July through to October, went according to plan and
there are now sufficient stockpiles of quality material available to market
through to the end of this year's campaign and through the first half of next
year. Whilst processing at Spanish Fork is on hold, we are continuing to
market the 3,000 tons of product in inventory and are selling on demand, and
we also have an additional 5,200 tons of run-of mine ore ready to be
processed.
Building the mine, constructing and commissioning the milling plant and
completing the second annual mining campaign within a year of investing in the
project was a key achievement for the Company. As we have previously noted, a
further core component of our organic fertilizer business is the construction
of the granulating plant which will offer additional value to our product mix.
This was expected to be commissioned in the last quarter of 2021, although
this is now on hold until the funding gap is resolved. Once the funds flow
again though, this will be implemented in short order as all the plant
components are on site.
Discussions on a funding solution by our partner are underway as we look to
find a way to move forward as quickly as possible for the benefit of all
stakeholders. As a part of this process, we are looking at possible
restructuring options to enable us to steer our 51% owned subsidiary company,
Falcon Isle, the owner of Diamond Creek, in a direction we believe will
increase sales and associated revenues. We will keep shareholders updated on
our progress in resolving this issue and look forward to reporting positive
progress in the near future.
Nayéga Manganese Project - Togo
Management has also continued to engage with the Togolese Authorities on the
final permitting for the Nayéga manganese project in Togo. Blaise Gozan, our
Country Manager, is continuing to progress direct communications and
discussions with Government on our behalf. As reported previously, securing
the final permit continues to take time, but we remain confident in the
process and will provide updates as soon as we have additional information to
share.
Sustainability
We are aware of our responsibility as an employer and a mining company, and we
are committed to upholding best practice across our business. We care about
all our stakeholders and are focused on looking to create value and benefits
for all whilst seeking to manage and mitigate the potential impacts that our
operations may have. Our assets are diverse in commodity and location but have
important similarities - mining essential resources that can contribute to a
more sustainable future, running simple operations with minimal processing
requirements and looking to maintain a low carbon footprint. We are focused on
meeting our commitments across the ESG space and will continue to be proactive
in this area as we look to develop and sustain a positive legacy.
Financial Review
The results for the 6 months ended 30 September 2021 show a loss of £345,000,
a substantial reduction from the 6 months ended 31 March 2021 (loss:
£560,000) and from the year ended 30 September 2020 (loss: £1,252,000). The
reduction is primarily due to improved performance at Falcon Isle. This bodes
well for future periods when Falcon Isle is able to operate at full capacity.
As noted above, the current financial period for Keras has been extended to 15
months and will end on 31 December 2021, enabling the accounts of all
subsidiaries to terminate on the same date.
We were very pleased to appoint Graham Stacey, our Chief Operating Officer, as
Executive Director in November, his in-depth knowledge of our assets and
technical expertise being invaluable to our business. He has also shown his
alignment with the Company in taking shares in lieu of past fees and we are
delighted to have him as a core member of our team.
Looking Forward
We remain fully committed to our business and our projects in both Utah and
Togo. The fundamentals of the phosphate and fertilizer markets in the US and
globally continue to be strong from both a supply and demand perspective. The
Diamond Creek mine produces high quality organic rock phosphate that can be
simply mined, crushed and applied to enhance yields and enrich the soil in an
environmentally friendly way. Awareness of the sustainable practices adopted
in organic farming also continues to grow which is driving growth in this
market and further underpins the inherent value of our asset.
The manganese market also remains strong looking forward, for steel alloys but
also importantly from the battery metals sector, a smaller but vital segment,
and we continue to look to capitalise on these dynamics from the Nayega
project in the future.
Finally, I would like to welcome Graham Stacey to the Board, to take this
opportunity to thank the rest of the Board and management for their ongoing
hard work and shareholders for their continuing support.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. Reporting entity
Keras Resources plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in England and
Wales. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company
as at and for the six months ended 30 September 2021 comprise the Company and
its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's
interests in associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group currently
operates as an explorer and developer.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
This condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Selected explanatory notes
are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an
understanding of the changes in financial performance and position of the
Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for
the year ended 30 September 2020. This condensed consolidated interim
financial report does not include all the information required for full annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board
of Directors on 17 December 2021.
Change of financial year end
In April 2021 the Company announced that it was changing its accounting
reference date and financial year end from 30 September to 31 December with
immediate effect. This unaudited financial report therefore covers a second
interim period from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021 as a part of the
15-month financial year ending 31 December 2021.
(b) Judgements and estimates
Preparing the interim financial report requires Management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial report, significant
judgements made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and
key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to
the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30
September 2020.
3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this condensed consolidated
interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Group in its
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 September
2020.
4. Financial instruments
Financial risk management
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent
with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for
the year ended 30 September 2020.
5. Segment information
The Group considers that it operates in two distinct business areas, manganese
mining in West Africa and phosphate mining in Utah, USA. These business areas
form the basis of the Group's operating segments. For each segment, the
Group's Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) reviews
internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
Other operations relate to the group's administrative functions conducted at
its head office and by its intermediate holding company together with
consolidation adjustments.
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included
below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax, as included
in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's Managing
Director. Segment results are used to measure performance as Management
believes such information is the most relevant in evaluating the performance
of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within the
exploration industry.
