CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



This first year of operation has been filled with a range of activities that
have been well managed and effectively completed.



We conducted a successful placement and public offering on London's Alternative
Investment Market ('AIM'). In doing this we placed 20 million shares with
institutions raising £8 million before costs and a further £2 million before
costs from the sale of 5 million shares in a public offering.



After costs, this raised your Company £8.9 million which was available for the
exploration activities as described in the November 2004 prospectus.



Given the Company's financial strength, the Board decided that the original
exploration programme which anticipated the use of one drill rig could be
accelerated. The Board approved the purchase of a second rig which has allowed
the drilling programme to be replanned such that the initial exploration of the
twenty three drilling targets is now expected to be completed by the end of
calendar year 2006, nearly a year ahead of the original schedule.


This new programme has a budgeted monthly net cash outflow of a little under
£140,000. Thus, after this expenditure, corporate costs, the initial capital
outlay on fixed assets and set up costs, there should still be over £5 million
available for definition drilling and any other exploration activity that may
become necessary such as flying aerial surveys and commissioning relevant
economic studies. Whilst the Company is at this stage in its development, this
should avoid the need for any additional shareholder funds.



Our Operations Manager, Derek Reeves, is to be complimented on the rate at which
he and the exploration team have established operations on the Islands and the
build up of the work programme. His institution of a rigorous safety programme
has paid off with no safety failures and his rehabilitation programme has
received the plaudits of the Falkland Islands Administration and local farmers.
Your Company remains in good standing with the Government and Island
inhabitants.



Exploration and drilling went largely unhindered through the winter season. The
exploration programme this year has covered ground geochemistry, stream
geochemistry, ground geophysics and drilling.



Results



The ground geochemistry has been conducted using a probe which penetrates the
peat to take a sample of the soil and clay immediately below. This work has
helped refine target definition (improving our ability to accurately drill
anomalies) in the Glorious Hill prospect (Target 11), in the Lafonia area of
southern East Falklands, and will be used in a similar manner for the Albemarle
prospect (Target 18), the Leicester prospect (Target 21) and the Warrah prospect
in West Falklands. Ground geophysics was carried out by contractors over targets
in both West and East Falklands also for refined target definition.



The drilling programme which commenced in Area 6 just north of Goose Green has
had mixed success with some of the anomalies being explained by the intersection
of doleritic and gabbroic dykes. This occurred in Targets T5, T2S and T8W.



In Targets T6, T7, T1N and T8E, the drilling was largely in tillite, with
limited quartz veining, and in carbonaceous shales. There has been no clear
reason for the geophysical anomaly or for the gold evidenced in the stream
sediment sampling although some subeconomic gold results were determined in the
carbonaceous shales. These results will be referred to outside consultants for a
review of the geophysical model in the context of the drilling results to date.



The drilling has however given our team a much better appreciation of the
geology and as a result three new targets namely T22, T23, and T24 have been
generated to the south of Area 6 where there are linear features crosscutting
the carbonaceous shale horizon.



The rigorous drilling programme in Area 6 and the northern section of East
Falklands including the Malo prospect (Target 15) will continue through to early
2006. Drilling of the Lafonia targets, Peat Banks (Target 10) and Glorious Hill
(Target 11), both of which exhibit very different geological signatures, is
scheduled in December 2005 and January 2006.



Some 7,150 metres of drilling were completed by the end of November 2005.



Analyses on the samples from the cores have been carried out by ALS Chemex in
Perth, Australia and at this stage checks have been carried out for 51 elements
to ensure full coverage. Additionally, radioactivity is checked in each core and
on other anomalous samples to identify any possibility of uranium or allied
mineralisation. To date there have been no results of economic significance.



The new Mining Legislation was promulgated on 27 May 2005. As was referred to in
our November 2004 prospectus, as a result of our admission to AIM, our licence
was extended to 31 July 2009, which takes us well beyond the current planned
exploration period, and as a result the Company is required to relinquish 50 per
cent. of the Company's licence area by 16 January 2007.



Outlook



I remain confident that the potential that was demonstrated in the prospectus
remains valid and exciting and that the work we will conduct in the coming year
will generate the solutions to the various anomalies. We remain hopeful that
this will lead on to some discoveries of economic value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.      BASIS FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK accounting
standards as adopted by the Company, using the accounting policies set out in
the Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2005.



The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's
statutory accounts for the periods ended 30 September 2005 or 2004 but is
derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 2004 have been delivered to
the Registrar of Companies, and those for 2005 will be delivered following the
Company's Annual General Meeting. The auditors have reported on these accounts;
their reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under the
Companies Act 1948, as applied in the Falkland Islands.

The basic and diluted loss per ordinary share is based on losses of £785,493 (8
months to 30 September 2004: £99,746) and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding of 72,227,260 (30 September 2004: 33,493,388).



3.      DIVIDENDS

The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend (2004: £nil).
