Interim Results

 

Mila Resources Plc, a London listed natural resources company, is pleased to
present its interim results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2021.

 

Highlights:

 

•    Acquired an initial 30% interest in the Kathleen Valley Gold Project
in Western Australia ("Kathleen Valley" or the "Project"). The Project is
located in the prolific Wiluna-Norseman gold belt which hosts several
world-class mines including those owned by ASX listed Bellevue Gold Ltd
('Bellevue').

 

•    Capital Raise of £3.5m (before expenses) to fund an 11,000-metre
plus drilling programme.

 

•    Drilling underway with the first 11 drill holes. Assay results
returned:

 

o  Identification of a 10m wide zone of mineralisation with multiple +10g/t
Au & Ag grades at Coffey; and

o  Post period end (1(st) March 2022) and in the same area, the Company
identified a ~9.3m wide mineralised sulphide zone from 195.68m, containing 2m
of "Bellevue Style" quartz-sulphide lodes from 201.5m to 203.5m.

 

•    Cash at bank and in hand at the end of the period £2,516,043.

 

Chairman Statement

 

 I am pleased to present the interim financial statements to shareholders for
the six months ended 31 December 2021.

 

Mila Resources was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2016 with a view to
acquiring projects in the natural resources sector which its Directors
believed have a significant innate value that can be unlocked without
excessive capital, and which offer access to early cash flow and stable market
prices.  In November 2021, we acquired an interest in an asset which we
believe meets these stringent investment criteria - the Kathleen Valley Gold
Project in Western Australia, in which we acquired an initial 30% interest,
with the option to acquire an additional 50% interest in two further
tranches.  With our readmission to trading achieved concurrently with the
Project acquisition, the period under review has been transformational for
Mila.  We are now firmly focused on realising the significant value potential
of Kathleen Valley as we cement our position as a post-discovery gold
exploration accelerator.

 

Testament to this commitment, within two weeks of acquiring our interest in
Kathleen Valley we commenced a 11,000m drill campaign.  The purpose of this
drill campaign, which is still ongoing, is to build on the Project's initial
JORC Inferred resource of 21,000 oz gold which, significantly, is part of a
much larger JORC Exploration Target of 145,000-280,000 oz at 1.8-2.5g/t
gold.  It is important to note that this has been defined solely at the
Coffey deposit ('Coffey'), in the southern area of the Project following just
12 reverse circulation drill holes totalling 2,160m.  Accordingly, we are
confident in our ability to enhance both the scale and confidence of the
resource.

 

In December 2021 we received assay results for our first 11 drill holes, which
exceeded our expectations.  A stand-out result included the identification of
a 10m wide zone of mineralisation with multiple +10g/t Au & Ag grades at
Coffey, which our Chief Technical Officer, Neil Hutchison, described as "one
of the most consistent and best overall gold intersections" he has seen in his
30-year career.  This area is accordingly a high priority target and post
period end has continued to deliver encouraging results, with a 9.3m wide
mineralised sulphide zone from 195.7 to 205m identified that contains 2m of
"Bellevue Style" quartz-sulphide lodes from 201.5m to 203.5m.

 

The discovery of "Bellevue Style" mineralisation is significant because
underpinning our resource discovery confidence is Kathleen Valley's
location.  The Project is situated in one of the world's most productive gold
regions, next to ASX listed Bellevue Gold Ltd ('Bellevue'), which has a market
cap of circa AUD1 billion and is considered one of the most successful
exploration plays in Western Australia.  Evidence to date shows that Kathleen
Valley exhibits similar geological characteristics to Bellevue, with
gold-silver mineralisation occurring within the same Mt Goode Basalt
sequence.

 

Encouragingly, mineralisation also appears to be improving with depth and now
extends down dip for >150m, which is where we are currently focusing our
drill efforts. Alongside Coffey, additional deposits will be tested in this
current drill programme, including Sturrock and Powell in the north of the
licence area where a zone of highly anomalous gold geochemistry has been
identified.

 

We believe that the potential of this Project is substantial, and we are
committed to unlocking it as swiftly as possible.  Furthermore, the Project
is in an area of established mining infrastructure being close to both the
main Goldfields Highway and the electrical grid, and there are several gold
processing plants in the district which may provide commercial development
routes without the need to build a stand-alone processing plant, thus reducing
future capital expenditure requirement.

 

Gold continues to appeal as a safe haven for investors, with a favourable
pricing forecast ahead for the commodity.

 

Outlook

Located in a recognised tier one mining jurisdiction, Kathleen Valley is
surrounded by mining success stories, including the gold producing Wiluna
Mining (~60km to the north), BHP's Mount Keith nickel mine (~20km to the
north), and Kathleen Valley Gold (to the north), which in 2015 extracted
65,900 oz gold over an 18-month period.  Through our targeted drill programme
and utilisation of electromagnetic exploration techniques (a methodology also
successfully applied by Bellevue Gold) we are focussed on substantially
growing the resource zone and building commercial confidence. Given the
positive results within three months of drilling, I am hopeful for what the
future may hold.

 

Finally, I would like to thank the Mila team and our advisers for their
consistent hard work and you, our shareholders, for your support. I look
forward to building this company with you.

 

Finance and Corporate

 

Results

 

The interim results for the six months to 31 December 2021 shows a loss of
£760,806 (2020: £122,037). This loss includes a non-cash accounting charge
of £493,232 relating to the issuance of Warrants and Options as part of the
capital raise in November 2021, as set out in the Prospectus dated 29 October
2021.

 

Acquisition of an initial 30% interest in the Kathleen Valley Project

 

The Company acquired an initial 30% interest in the Kathleen Valley gold
project and the exploration licence E36/876 in the Kathleen Valley satisfied
by the issue of 83,543,197 Ordinary Shares at a price of £0.024 per Ordinary
Share, £300,000 in cash consideration, the issue of 15,448,370 Ordinary
Shares to Diversified Minerals Pty Ltd ("DM") pursuant to the DM loan
agreement dated 4 February 2021, and by novating the £229,393 Series 3 Loan
Notes from New Generation Minerals Limited to the Company which were converted
to 12,744,032 Ordinary Shares on readmission.

 

Conditional on the successful completion of 11,000 metres drilling at Kathleen
Valley, the Company will have a right to purchase a further 25% interest in
the Kathleen Valley Project and the Kathleen Valley Licence from Trans Pacific
Energy Group Pty Ltd ("TPE") for consideration of £2,343,750 by way of
issuing 97,656,750 new Ordinary Shares at a price of £0.024 per Ordinary
Share in the Company (the "Second Consideration Shares") to TPE. The Company
will then seek to list the Second Consideration Shares.

 

Finally, and conditional on a second spend by the Company of not less than
£1,500,000, the Company will have a right to acquire an additional 25%
interest in the Kathleen Valley Project and Kathleen Valley Licence from TPE
for consideration of £2,343,750 by way of issuing 97,656,750 new Ordinary
Shares in the Company at a price of £0.024 per Ordinary Share (the "Third
Consideration Shares") to TPE. On completion of the allotment, the Company
will also seek to list the Third Consideration Shares. There is no guarantee
that the Company will issue the Second Consideration Shares and/or the Third
Consideration Shares, as they are dependent on the aforementioned conditions
being met in relation to the Project and pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement.

 

Fund Raise

 

Concurrently with the acquisition of the Kathleen Valley Project the Company
concluded a £3.5m fund raising (before costs) by issuing 145,833,329 new
ordinary shares ("Investor Shares") at 2.4p each. The shares carry equal
voting rights and rank pari passu for the distribution of dividends and
repayment of capital. The Investor Shares each come with a 5-year warrant
attached which has an exercise price of 4.8p.

The Convertible Loan notes in existence on 30 June 2021 have all been fully
converted in the period to ordinary shares as part of the successful Kathleen
Valley transaction and in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Loan

Amendments to existing warrants in issue at 30 June 2021

 

The IPO Warrants in issue at the end of 30 June 2021 have had their exercise

MILA RESOURCES PLC

Notes to the financial statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2021

 

1          General information

Mila Resources Plc (the "Company'') was listed on the London Stock Exchange in
2016 with a view to acquiring projects in the natural resources sector that
had a significant innate value that could be unlocked without excessive
capital. In November 2021, the Company acquired an interest in a gold
exploration project in Western Australia.

The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated and registered
in England and Wales, with registration number 09620350.

The Company's registered office is Lockstrood Farm, Ditchling Common, Burgess
Hill, West Sussex RH15 0SJ.

2          Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in preparation of these consolidated
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently
applied unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The interim unaudited financial statements for the period ended 31 December
2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim financial information is not the Company's statutory financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements for the period ended 30 June 2021, which have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and have
been delivered to the Registrars of Companies.  The auditors have reported on
those accounts; their report was unqualified, did not include references to
any matters which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis of matter
without qualifying their report and did not contain statements under section
498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2021 is
unaudited. In the opinion of the Directors, the interim consolidated financial
information presents fairly the financial position, and results from
operations and cash flows for the period.

The Directors have made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern and the interim report has been prepared on the going concern
basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

The financial information of the Company is presented in British Pounds
Sterling (£).

 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and
actions, the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal
related actual results.

In preparing the interim financial information, the significant judgements
made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key
sources of estimation uncertainty. New accounting policies adopted in the
period are listed below.

 

MILA RESOURCES PLC

Notes to the financial statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2021

 

New accounting policies adopted in the period

Intangible assets - Exploration and evaluation expenditures (E&E)
Development expenditure

Expenditure on the construction, installation and completion of infrastructure
facilities including service, is capitalized initially within intangible fixed
assets and when the asset has formally commenced commercial production, then
it is transferred to property, plant and equipment and is depreciated from the
commencement of production as described in the accounting policy for property,
plant and equipment.

Drilling costs and intangible licenses

The Company applies the successful efforts method of accounting, having regard
to the requirements of IFRS 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources'. Costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal rights to explore an
area are expensed immediately to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Expenditure incurred on the acquisition of a licence interest is initially
capitalised within intangible assets on a licence by licence basis. Costs are
held, unamortised, until such time as the exploration phase of the field area
is complete or commercial reserves have been discovered. The cost of the
licence is subsequently transferred into property, plant and equipment and
depreciated over its estimated useful economic life.

Exploration expenditure incurred in the process of determining exploration
targets is capitalised initially within intangible assets as drilling costs.
Drilling costs are initially capitalised on a licence by licence basis until
the success or otherwise has been established. Drilling costs are written off
unless the results indicate that reserves exist and there is a reasonable
prospect that these reserves are commercially viable. Drilling costs are
subsequently transferred into 'Drilling expenditure' within property, plant
and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful economic life.

Impairment

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication
that an asset may be impaired. This includes consideration of the IFRS 6
impairment indicators for any intangible exploration and evaluation
expenditure capitalised as intangible assets. Examples of indicators of
impairment include whether:

(a) the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific
area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future and is
not expected to be renewed.

(b) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of
mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned.

(c) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area
have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral
resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the
specific area.

(d) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the
specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and
evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful
development or by sale.

If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset
is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount,
which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Any impairment identified is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income

For the six months ended 31 December 2021

 

Share-based payments

The Company records charges for share-based payments.

For warrant-based or option-based share-based payments, to determine the value
of the warrants or options, management estimate certain factors used in the
Black Scholes Pricing Model, including volatility, vesting date exercise date
of the warrants or option and the number likely to vest. At each reporting
date during the vesting period management estimate the number of shares that
will vest after considering the vesting criteria. If these estimates vary from
actual occurrence, this will impact on the value of the equity carried in
reserves.

4          Income tax expense

No tax is applicable to the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2021.
No deferred income tax asset has been recognised in respect of the losses
carried forward, due to the uncertainty as to whether the Company will
generate sufficient future profits in the foreseeable future to prudently
justify this.

 

5          Earnings per share

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The diluted profit per share is the same as the basic profit per share
because, although certain warrants and options in issue were in the money as
at 31 December 2021, the Company reported a loss, hence including the
additional dilution would have resulted in a reduction of the loss per share.

                                                                                                        Earnings                                Weighted average number of shares  Per-share amount

In November 2021, the Company acquired a 30% interest in the Kathleen Valley
(Gold) Project. The principal assets are leases with rights to exploration in
Western Australia.  At the period end the capitalised exploration and
evaluation assets totalled £3.5m (31 December 2020: £nil) and all such costs
capitalised related to exploration and evaluation activities conducted in
relation to the Kathleen Valley Project.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are regularly reviewed for indicators of
impairment. If an indicator of impairment is found an impairment test is
required, where the carrying value of the asset is compared with its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the assets fair
value less costs to sell and value in use. The Directors are satisfied that no
impairments are required for the current period.
