("KEFI Minerals" or the "Company")
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
KEFI Minerals, the AIM-quoted gold and copper exploration company with projects
in Turkey and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is pleased to announce its
unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 30 June 2011.
Highlights of the Half-Year Period
* In June 2011, granted a mineral exploration licence in Saudi Arabia and
began the field program.
* Received approval from the Saudi authorities for two further licences in
Saudi Arabia.
* Exploration licence applications in Saudi Arabia pending on a further
seventeen licences.
* Derinin Tepe (also known as Kizilcukur), Muratdag and Yatik West projects
in western Turkey were sold.
* Entered into an agreement giving it a period of exclusivity to examine the
Tiouit Gold-Copper Mine in Morocco (the "Tiouit Mine") and the associated
tailings retreatment project.
* A non-JORC compliant report, dated February 2011, estimates the three
tailings dams contain a total of 285,000m3 (or approximately 460,000
tonnes) at 3 to 4g/t gold and 20 to 30g/t silver. Significant exploration
potential remains in the licence areas along with remnant ore in the now
closed, underground mine.
* In February 2011, raised £1,300,000 via a placing at 5p per share.
Mr Jeffrey Rayner, KEFI Mineral's Managing Director, said:
"KEFI Minerals continues to explore for copper and gold deposits in Saudi
Arabia.
Field exploration recently began at our Selib North Project which is the first
Exploration Licence granted in Saudi Arabia.
We are also evaluating the Tiouit Gold-Copper Mine in Morocco, which represents
an excellent opportunity for KEFI Minerals to potentially quickly become a gold
producer.
During 2011, KEFI Minerals has sold several projects in Turkey which enabled
the Company to move onto other prospects with a greater chance of exploration
success. Our policy has always been to rapidly assess and, where appropriate,
turn over projects in our exploration portfolio.
KEFI Minerals is a small, dynamic company that has a demonstrated ability to
move quickly and become an early entrant in countries that are becoming
attractive for mining investment and are suitably prospective."

References in this announcement to exploration results and potential have been
approved for release by Mr Jeffrey Rayner (BSc.Hons). Mr Rayner is a geologist
and has more than 20 years relevant experience in the field of activity
concerned. He is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy (AusIMM) and has consented to the inclusion of the material in the
form and context in which it appears.
Managing Director's Report
Morocco, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are under-explored countries with excellent
potential for discovery of major gold and copper mines. We will continue to
progress effective exploration programmes that aim to fast-track gold discovery
and eventual development of new mines.
Exploration - Turkey
During June 2011, KEFI Minerals completed the sale of the Company's Derinin
Tepe (also known as Kizilcukur), Muratdag and Yatik West projects in western
Turkey.
Details of the sale terms are as follows:
* A nominal cash payment by Ariana to KEFI Minerals' Turkish subsidiary.
* The issue to KEFI Minerals of such number of ordinary shares in Ariana that
are equal to a value of £50,000 based on a 30% premium to the average
Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the acquirer's ordinary shares
calculated for the 30 days of trading prior to the date of completion of a
definitive agreement; which KEFI Minerals agrees not to trade for a period
of 12 months from the date of issue.
* 2% Net Smelter Royalty on all future mineral production from the licences.
In August 2011, KEFI Minerals sold the Artvin Project in north eastern Turkey.
The Artvin Project comprises 15 exploration licences (totalling 254km2) located
in the Eastern Pontide Belt in north eastern Turkey. Kackar Madencilik San.
Tic. Ltd, the Company's subsidiary holding these licences, was sold for
consideration comprising:
* Initial cash payment of US$100,000; and
* 1% Net Smelter Royalty on all future mineral production from the licences.
Exploration - Saudi Arabia
In June 2011, KEFI Minerals was granted its first mineral exploration licence
in Saudi Arabia through the Gold & Minerals ("G&M") Joint Venture. The licence
has been granted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Deputy Ministry for Mineral
Resources ("DMMR"). This inaugural licence - for the Selib North Project
("Project"), covers favourable fault structures and quartz-carbonate veined
alteration zones and contains evidence of ancient hard rock and alluvial
workings for gold.
In addition, the Company has received approval from the DMMR for two further
licences and these have been sent for final approval from the Supreme Committee
of Concessions in Riyadh. KEFI Minerals has a 40% interest in the G&M Joint
Venture and is the operating partner. To date the Company has lodged a total of
21 Exploration Licence Applications ("ELAs") in Saudi Arabia that cover an area
of approximately 1,419km2.
Exploration - Morocco
KEFI Minerals has been granted a period of exclusivity to carry out due
diligence investigations to assess a joint venture to develop the projects at
the Tiouit Mine and tailings retreatment project in Morocco.
The period of exclusivity was acquired by KEFI Minerals for $250,000 from the
Moroccan company, Roche Invest SARL ("Roche"), and permits both parties to
evaluate and determine if they wish to proceed to form a joint venture in order
to develop either or both projects. The Agreement sets the framework for a
strategic alliance between the two companies to evaluate additional mining
opportunities in Morocco and the African region.
Gold mineralisation was first discovered at Tiouit in 1946. Mining operations
were carried out intermittently from 1950 to 1994. Approximately 1 million
tonnes of ore have been mined historically at Tiouit with an average recovered
grade of 7.9g/t gold, 67g/t silver and 0.45% copper. Approximately 720,000
tonnes of tailings were generated by previous mining operations and stored in a
number of discrete "dry stacked" tailings dams at surface.
A non-JORC compliant Technical Report on Tiouit was completed in February 2011
by "Solumines" of Canada. Solumines estimated from a total station topographic
survey, with one reading per metre, that three of the tailings dams contain a
total of 285,000m3 (or, at a bulk density of 1.6, approximately 460,000
tonnes). Sampling by Solumines from 0 to 1m depths and from four drill holes
confirmed previous sampling results of 3 to 4g/t gold and 20 to 30g/t silver in
these three tailings dams. Metallurgical testwork performed by three
independent laboratories show up to 86% gold recovery from the tailings by
regrinding and cyanide-in-leach or cyanide-in-pulp processing. This work was
carried out by "CRM"- Centre de Recherches Minérales, Canada in 1989;
"Met-Chem", Canada in 1998; "URSTM"- Université du Quebec en
Abitibi-Temiscamingue in 2008.
The remainder of the tailings are buried beneath shallow waste cover or under
the dilapidated processing plant infrastructure. A significant portion of the
buried tailings may also be accessed for retreatment.
Significant potential remains in the exploration mine corridor and around the
remnant ore in the now abandoned underground mine. Narrow-vein mining
techniques employed in the past resulted in excessive dilution of mined grades.
The veins range from 0.5m to 6m in thickness, with the average mined thickness
about 1.5m to 2.0m.
Outlook
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Morocco are becoming recognised as
under-explored countries that are very prospective for discoveries of large
gold and copper deposits.
KEFI Minerals will continue its current exploration projects in a very
cost-effective manner while evaluating further opportunities in the region.
The strength in the gold market (with the current gold price in the vicinity of
US$1,600 per ounce), combined with the opportunities identified by the Company,
provides KEFI Minerals with an exciting opportunity to create exceptional value
for shareholders - subject to the Company continuing its tight focus and
risk-management.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
1. Incorporation and principal activities
Country of incorporation
The Company was incorporated in United Kingdom as a public limited company on
24 October 2006. Its registered office is at 27/28 Eastcastle Street, London
W1W 8DH.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group for the period are:
* To explore for mineral deposits of precious and base metals and other
minerals that appear capable of commercial exploitation, including
topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies and
exploratory drilling.
* To evaluate mineral deposits determining the technical feasibility and
commercial viability of development, including the determination of the
volume and grade of the deposit, examination of extraction methods,
infrastructure requirements and market and finance studies.
* To develop, operate mineral deposits and market the metals produced.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed
interim consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been applied consistently throughout the period presented in these
condensed interim consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standards (IFRS) including
International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and using
the historical cost convention.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (`the statements")
are unaudited and include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary undertakings. They have been prepared using accounting bases and
policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial
statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2010.
These statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual
financial statements, and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and other information set out in the Company's 31 December
2010 Annual Report.
Use and revision of accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial report requires the making of estimations and
assumptions that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Summary of significant accounting policies-(continued)
Use and revision of accounting estimates-(continued)
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
During the current period the Group adopted all the new and revised IFRSs and
International Accounting Standards (IAS), which are relevant to its operations
and are effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2011.
The adoption of these Standards did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements some Standards were
in issue but not yet effective. The Board of Directors expects that the
adoption of these Standards in future periods will not have a material effect
on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with
items which are considered material in relation to the financial position of
the Group.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of
all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 2011 and the results of
all the controlled entities for the period then ended. The Company and its
controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the
Group.
Control is achieved where the Company has power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The financial statements of all the Group companies are prepared using uniform
accounting policies.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions
between consolidated entities are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
impairment of the asset transferred.
Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The
cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the
date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity
instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus
any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree's
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the
conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair values at
the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that
are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets
held for sale and discontinued operations, which are recognised and measured at
fair value less costs to sell.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Summary of significant accounting policies-(continued)
Business combinations (continued)
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially
measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over
the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the
Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business
combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at
the minority's proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities recognised.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair
value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired
undertaking at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries
is included in "intangible assets". Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is
included in "investments in associates".
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an undertaking include
the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the undertaking sold. Goodwill is
allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.
Any excess of the interest in the net fair value of acquiree's identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost is recognised
immediately in the profit and loss.
Property,plant and equipment
Property plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition at the
date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus
incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition less depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of
each asset to their residual values over their estimated useful life. The
annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
Furniture, fixtures and 10%
office equipment
Motor Vehicles 20%
Interest in joint ventures
Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity
in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled
entities. The results and assets and liabilities of joint ventures are
included in these financial statements for the period from 1st January 2011 (or
subsequent dates of incorporation) to 30 June 2011, using the equity method of
accounting.
Investments
Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less provision for
impairment in value, which is recognized as an expense in the period in which
the impairment is identified.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Summary of significant accounting policies-(continued)
Share-based compensation benefits
Equity-settled share-based payments are recognized at fair value at the date of
grant and the recognition of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments
at the current fair value at each statement of financial position date. The
total amount expensed is recognized over the vesting period, which is the
period over which performance conditions are to be satisfied.
The fair value is measured using the Black Scholes pricing model. The inputs
used in the model are based on management's best estimate, for the effects of
non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
Revenue recognition
Revenue consists of the amounts receivable from exploration tenements,
technical data, precious and base metals sold. The Group had no sales/revenue
during the period under review.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective
interest method.
Exploration costs
The Group adopted the provisions of IFRS6 "Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources". The Group's stage of operations as at the period end and as
at the date of approval of these financial statements have not yet met the
criteria for capitalisation of exploration costs.
Foreign currency translation
(i) Measurement currency
The financial statements are prepared in British Pounds (measurement currency)
which is the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the
underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Company.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency
using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in the income statement.
Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred
tax.
Current tax liabilities and assets for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation
authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or
subsequently enacted, by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are
used in the determination of deferred tax.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Summary of significant accounting policies-(continued)
Tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences
can be utilised.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise
of cash in hand and balances with banks.
Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes
in presentation in the current period.
3. Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to currency risk arising from the financial
instruments it holds. The risk management policies employed by the Company to
manage the risk are discussed below:
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to
interest rate risk in relation to its bank deposits. The Group's management
monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts
accordingly.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and
liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances
profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has
procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining
sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available
an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will
fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when
future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are
denominated in a currency that is not the Company's measurement currency. The
Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency
exposures primarily with respect to the Euro, Bulgarian Lev and New Turkish
Lira.
The Group's management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous
basis and acts accordingly.
Fair values
The fair values of the Groups financial assets and liabilities approximate
their carrying amounts at the balance sheet date.

16. Joint Venture Agreements
16. 1 Joint Venture with Centerra Gold (KB) Inc.
On 22 October 2008, the company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement ("Joint
Venture Agreement") in respect of its 100%-owned Artvin Project ("the Project")
with Centerra Gold (KB) Inc ("Centerra"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centerra
Gold Inc., a Canadian-based gold mining and exploration company which is listed
on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Artvin Project is located in the Artvin Province of north eastern Turkey
and comprises 15 tenements, which cover approximately 254km2 within the eastern
portion of the Pontide Belt. The Pontide Belt is a major metallogenic province
in the eastern Black Sea coastal region and is prospective for volcanic-hosted
massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, porphyry copper-gold deposits and epithermal
gold-silver mineralization (The `Project Area").
Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, the licences relating to the
Project area are to be transferred to the new KEFI Minerals group subsidiary
Kackar Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi ("Kackar"), incorporated in
Turkey on 15 January 2009 and Centerra has the exclusive right to acquire up to
a 70% shareholding in this subsidiary. In order to acquire the initial 50%
shareholding in Kackar Centerra must spend US$3.0 million over three years with
a minimum expenditure of US$0.5 million in the first year. Centerra may then
elect to acquire an additional 20% shareholding through the expenditure of a
further US$3.0 million over the next two years. The joint venture is in respect
of a one-kilometre area of interest which extends from the outer boundary of
the Project area.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
16. Joint Venture Agreements (continued)
KEFI Minerals is the manager of the Project and Centerra has the right to
become manager at any time. Once Centerra has earned its 50% or 70%
shareholding in Kackar, KEFI Minerals and Centerra will fund their respective
percentage interests of future expenditure subject to dilution for
non-participation in such expenditure. If either party's interest is diluted to
less than 10%, that party's interest will automatically be converted to a 3%
net smelter return royalty, in which case the other party has the right to
purchase half of the royalty (1.5%) for US$1.5 million.
The Joint Venture Agreement contains certain warranties given by KEFI Minerals
and its group companies in respect of the Project and while KEFI Minerals is
the Manager of the Project and majority shareholder in the Kackar any advances
made by Centerra which are not expended on the Project are repayable in certain
circumstances. The Joint Venture Agreement also contains a number of matters
concerning the business of Kackar for which Centerra's consent must be
obtained.
Since 15 July 2010, Centerra Gold Inc. advised the Company of its intention to
withdraw from the Artvin Joint Venture. The cumulative advances made by
Centerra Gold (KB) Inc. until the 15 July 2010 amounted to £0.7 million. Under
the terms of the agreement no amounts are due to Centerra Gold (KB) Inc.
following their withdrawal from the project.
Since 15 July 2010 Kackar was treated as a wholly owned subsidiary.
16. 2 Joint Venture with Gold and Minerals
In May 2009, KEFI Minerals announced the formation of a new minerals
exploration joint venture, Gold & Minerals ("G&M") Joint Venture, with leading
Saudi construction and investment group Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons
Company Limited ("ARTAR"). KEFI Minerals is the operating partner with a 40%
shareholding of the G&M Joint Venture with ARTAR holding the other 60%.
KEFI Minerals provides the G&M Joint Venture with technical advice and
assistance, including personnel to manage and supervise all exploration and
technical studies. ARTAR will provide administrative advice and assistance to
ensure that the G&M Joint Venture remains in compliance with all governmental
and other procedures.
The cumulative expenditure incurred by the company KEFI Minerals until 30 June
2011 amounted to £79,660 (2010: £438,732).
The G&M Joint Venture is treated as a joint venture and has been equity
accounted. A loss of £73,824 (2010: £207,123) has been recognized. As at 30
June 2011 the G&M Joint Venture owed KEFI Minerals an amount of £29,587 (2010:
£31,649).

16. Joint Venture Agreements (continued)
16.3 Joint Venture with listed Centerra Gold Inc.
In November 2009, KEFI Minerals announced that it had entered into a Letter of
Intent ("LOI") with TSX listed Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra") for a joint
venture in the 100%-owned Bakir Tepe Project in south western Turkey. Bakir
Tepe is prospective for volcanic-hosted massive sulphide ("VHMS") polymetallic
deposits and a drilling programme is planned to commence soon.
Under the terms of the LOI, Centerra earns a 51% interest in the Bakir Tepe
Project upon contributing US$750,000 to the joint venture over 2 years with a
minimum expenditure of US$350,000 in the first year. There is a 45 day
exclusivity period in which to execute a final agreement.
Once Centerra has earned its 51% interest, each party shall fund their
respective percentage interests subject to dilution for non-participation in
such expenditure. If either party's interest is diluted to less than 10%, that
party's interest will automatically be converted to a 2.0% net smelter return
royalty.
KEFI Minerals will be the manager of the Project and Centerra has the right to
become manager if they so elect and have met certain milestones. The Bakir Tepe
Licences cover a 78km2 area and were granted to KEFI Minerals in June 2008.
The cumulative advances made by Centerra Gold (KB) Inc. until the 30 June 2011
amounted to £168,903.
17. Contingent liabilities
In 2006, EMED Mining Public Ltd acquired a proprietary geological database that
covers extensive parts of Turkey and Greece and also EMED 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 GBP59,700 (AUD105,000) 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 GBP238,800. 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 GBP43,750 (AUD105,000)
Under the joint venture agreement with Centerra Gold (KB) Inc (see Note 16)
there are certain warranties given by KEFI and its group companies whereby
KEFI, while manager and majority shareholder in the project, must in certain
circumstances repay any advances made by Centerra not expended on the Project.
As at 30 June 2011 such unexpended balances stood at nil.
18. Capital commitments
The Group has no capital or other commitments as at 30 June 2011.

19. Relationship deed
A Relationship Deed between EMED and the Company dated 7 November 2006, by
which EMED agrees not to operate in Bulgaria and Turkey, and the Company agrees
not to operate in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Iran,
Oman, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Serbia or Slovakia the "EMED Area".
The Relationship Deed provides that EMED has the right to appoint one
non-executive director of the Company. It also provides EMED with a right of
first refusal in respect of funding any proposed mining or exploration project
of the Company. The Relationship Deed provides that the Company shall refer any
opportunity to conduct mining or exploration activity in the EMED Area to EMED,
and EMED shall refer any such opportunity in Bulgaria or Turkey to the Company.
EMED has since granted the Company the right to explore in Saudi Arabia in
return for which it will receive, to the extent possible under legislation in
Saudi Arabia, first right of refusal over participation in any projects
developed (or not taken up) by the joint venture established on 28 May 2009 in
that country with Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons Company Limited.
20. Events after the reporting period
In August 2011, KEFI Minerals sold the Company's Artvin Project in north
eastern Turkey to a Turkish mining company. The Artvin Project comprises 15
Exploration Licences (totalling 254km2) located in the Eastern Pontide Belt in
north eastern Turkey. Kackar Madencilik San. Tic. Ltd, the Company's subsidiary
holding these licences, has been sold in return for KEFI Minerals receiving an
initial cash payment of US$100,000 and 1% Net Smelter Royalty on all future
mineral production from the licences.
KEFI Minerals has acquired exclusivity for a period of five months to conduct a
Definitive Feasibility Study to evaluate the retreatment of gold and silver
contained in previous mine tailings and to initiate a Pre-Feasibility Study on
re-starting the underground mining operations at the Tiouit Mine. The period of
exclusivity was acquired by KEFI Minerals for $250,000 from the Moroccan
company, Roche Invest SARL, ("Roche")
Depending upon the outcome of the feasibility studies, KEFI Minerals will
decide whether or not to proceed to enter into a joint venture with Roche in
connection with the processing of the mine tailings and/or recommencing
underground mining operations at the Tiouit Mine.
The expectation is that Tiouit would be the initial project between the parties
as part of a broader strategic alliance in the African region and each party
has undertaken to seek to work together on Moroccan opportunities on a
collaborative basis.

REVIEW REPORT TO KEFI MINERALS PLC
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of financial position of KEFI
Minerals Plc at June 30, 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the period then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial
statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review
Engagements 2400. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to
obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company
