Interim Results

Keras Resources plc (AIM: KRS) today announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2021.

Highlights

Utah - Diamond Creek Phosphate Mine ("Diamond Creek") - one of the highest grade organic phosphate mines in the US, a fully integrated mine to market asset

· Diamond Creek milling plant successfully commissioned in June 2021 producing a range of premium organic phosphate products

· Post commissioning, commercial production commenced at the end of June 2021

· The 2021 mining season was conducted smoothly throughout July to October - stockpiles of 3,000 tons of product are available for on demand sales and a further 5,200 tons of run-of-mine (ROM) ore is available for further processing

· Operations at Diamond Creek are currently on hold as announced on 5 November 2021 but marketing of inventory from that facility continues and sales orders are being shipped to customers

· An 800 tonne (16% of annual target) of #10 mesh rock phosphate order, toll processed by a third party is currently being delivered to a key customer 

· Management recently visited the US and discussions to resolve the funding gap are ongoing.

Togo - Nay éga Manganese Project, production ready on receipt of the exploitation permit

· Mr Blaise Gozan appointed as Country Manager in May 2021 to bolster Keras's in-country presence

· Ongoing engagement with the Togolese authorities

Corporate

· Mr Graham Stacey, Keras' Chief Operating Officer appointed to the Board as Executive Director

· Keras Directors purchased further shares in the company post period, increasing management's combined holdings to 23.3%

· Market fundamentals remain strong

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.

Nay é ga Manganese Project - Togo

Management has also continued to engage with the Togolese Authorities on the final permitting for the Nay é ga 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.

6.  Seasonality of operations

The phosphate business is subject to seasonal factors affecting both mining and sales. Mining can only take place in summer, as the mine site is subject to substantial snow cover in winter. The main season for sales of phosphate fertilizer coincide with the planting season. The production plant is not subject to seasonal variation.
