14.       Events after the balance sheet date 
 
Manica Gold Project 
 
On 29 June 2015 the Company announced that it had signed an agreement to
acquire 100% of the Manica Gold Mining license (which includes a number of
gold prospects including the Fair Bride open pit gold deposit) in Mozambique
from Auroch Minerals NL ('Auroch'), an ASX listed company. The total
consideration for the Transaction was US$12.5 million and would be satisfied
through a payment of US$4.5m in cash, the issue of new ordinary shares of
0.01p per share ("Ordinary Shares") to the value of US$6.5m ("Consideration
Shares"), and a further cash payment by Xtract of up to US$1.5 million to
settle project related creditors. 
 
The completion of the acquisition agreement is conditional upon Auroch
obtaining necessary shareholder approval as well as obtaining relevant
approvals to the extent required under the Mozambique Mining Act and other
applicable laws relating to the change of control of Auroch's subsidiary and
communicating such change of control to the Mozambican Mining Authorities.
Completion is also conditional on admission of the Consideration Shares to
trading on AIM. 
 
On 3 July 2015, the company raised £4.4 million from the placement and issue
of 1,466,666,665 ordinary shares of 0.01p per share at 0.30p per share in
order to satisfy the cash consideration. 
 
On 10 September 2015 the Company announced that it had negotiated and agreed
revised terms with Auroch regarding the conditional acquisition of the Manica
gold project. Under the terms of the original agreement the number of
Consideration Shares issued was to be determined by using the lesser of the
VWAP at which the Company's shares traded 10 days prior to Completion and
0.35p (the "Conversion Price"). At an assumed Conversion Price of 0.35p the
Company anticipated that it would be required to issue Consideration Shares
which would result in dilution to existing Xtract shareholders ("Dilution") of
approximately 12%. Since the terms of the Transaction were agreed the
Company's share price has decreased and the closing price on 9 September 2015
stood at 0.26p. At an assumed Conversion Price of 0.26p Dilution would be
approximately 16%. In order to limit Dilution the Company has successfully
negotiated a revision to the terms of the Transaction whereby a fixed number
of Conversion Shares will now be issued and Dilution will be approximately
11%. 
 
The cash consideration will now total US$7 million and has been re-structured
such that US$2 million of cash payable to Auroch three months after Completion
is expected to be settled through project finance and a further US$1 million
of cash will be retained by the Company to settle any tax liability relating
to the capital gain due on the disposal of the asset in due course. 
 
O'Kiep copper Sulphide Project 
 
On 3 July 2015 the Company allotted and issued 491,939,159 ordinary shares of
0.01p each, at price of 0.03275 per share, in settlement of the final payment
of U$$2.5 million which was due to be paid on the commencement of mining
activities.
