CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to present this report outlining the achievements of the Company during 2013 and the further progress made since the year end towards achieving the Company's strategy to be an environmentally compliant, vertically integrated antimony producer. Antimony remains one of the most important and critical metals for the world electronics and plastics industry.

Throughout 2013, the Company continued to progress the Roaster Project. Reports published in 2012 confirmed its technical and financial viability and the majority of the engineering design work has now been completed. Negotiations continue with our joint venture partners and a number of interested banking parties in relation to the Roaster Project and discussions have commenced with contractors in relation to the construction of the Roaster itself. The Company has worked, with its joint venture partners, to progress the legal, engineering and environmental due diligence work streams associated with the Roaster Project. I am delighted to say the technical due diligence has now been completed and other work is now well advanced, and the parties are now moving forward towards the establishment of the joint venture entity and to completion of documentation. Whilst significant tasks remain ahead, such as obtaining banking finance and receiving all necessary permits and licenses (including environmental licences), the Company and its partners have demonstrated considerable commitment and desire to see the Roaster Project come to fruition.

Tri-Star has duly executed and lodged, on behalf of the joint venture, a formal application in respect of the prospective site for the Roaster with the appropriate authorities in Sohar, Oman. This application forms an important part of the process relating to the joint venture company establishing its base in the Sohar Free Trade Zone.

The Environmental Impact Assessment for the Roaster Project has also been completed and submitted. The target remains to commence site preparation and construction of the facility during 2014 with the aim of commissioning the Roaster Project during 2016. During the year, Emin Eyi, Managing Director of Tri-Star has relocated to the Gulf to better control and progress the Roaster Project.

We have also taken an important step to secure feed-stock for the Roaster Project through the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. and its Bald Hill antimony deposit in New Brunswick, Canada. Together with the Company's existing antimony deposit in Göynük, Turkey, and its Canadian exploration permits, the addition of Bald Hill creates a strong nexus of production for the future to feed the Roaster Project with high quality antimony concentrates. The Company has also witnessed an increase in enquiries from third party producers of antimony ores and concentrates from around the World.

I am also pleased to confirm that during the year the Company secured additional funding through a private placing of Convertible Bonds with Odey. Further details of the terms of the Convertible Bonds are set out in the Strategic Report and in the accompanying financial statements. The Convertible Bonds issue provides the Company with additional financial stability and the proceeds will be used to meet working capital requirements, and in conjunction with other funding sources, to finance the Company's share of the Roaster Project.

In the year to 31 December 2013, the Group recorded a loss before and after tax of £2,747,000 (31 December 2012: £2,351,000) emphasising its increasing investment into its clean roasting technology.

Share based payments (a non-cash item) amounted to £413,000, compared with £846,000 in the previous year and exploration expenditure and other administrative expenses were £2,272,000 in the period compared with £1,487,000 the previous year. The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend at this time.

I would like to thank our partners, the management team and our employees for their dedication and effort during an intensive and eventful year for Tri-Star. The Company has made very substantial progress, both in developing the Roaster Project and in its upstream development, and is now poised to take advantage of this by securing the Roaster funding, fully integrating the assets of Portage and undertaking further development in Turkey. The Board is looking forward to the coming year with confidence.

In October 2013, following the acquisition of Portage, we were delighted to welcome Ken Hight to the Board. There have been no other changes in the composition of the Board.

Chairman

STRATEGIC REPORT

Introduction

Our strategy is to be the leading integrated antimony metal and value added product manufacturer, utilising modern and environmentally compliant roasting technology, located in the Sultanate of Oman, with raw material supplied from our upstream resource projects as well as from third party sources of antimonal concentrates. I am pleased to report on the Company's progress towards achieving this strategy during 2013 and future plans to realise our clearly defined objectives.

Antimony

The name antimony is derived from the Greek word for 'never found alone'. The principal use is as an oxide synergist in the flame retardant chemical additive sector. China has dominated world supply for the past 110 years.

Antimony (Sb) is a silvery-white, shining, soft and brittle metal. It is a semiconductor and has thermal conductivity lower than most metals. Due to its poor mechanical properties, pure antimony is only used in very small quantities; larger amounts are used for alloys and in antimony compounds. Antimony's abundance in the earth's crust is 0.2 parts per million, making the element about as scarce as some of the heavier Rare Earth Elements and a little above silver. Antimony is a member of the Group V elements in the Periodic Table, accompanied by tin and tellurium. Antimony has atomic number 51 and an atomic weight of 122. The metal is brittle and has a low melting point of 630°C and boils at 1380°C.

There are over 40 common minerals of antimony but the most important is the sulphide mineral stibnite (Sb₂S₃) which has a Sb content of 72%. The element also occurs as an oxide, valentinite (Sb₂O₃) and as antimonides and sulpho-antimonides of metals like lead, copper, zinc, silver and gold. Stibnite has been and to date remains the main source for metallic antimony to be commercially mined.

The principal use of antimony is in flame retardants as antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) ("ATO"), which accounts for approximately 70% of primary antimony consumption. In this use, antimony trioxide is most commonly used as a synergist to improve the performance of other flame retardants such as aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and halogenated compounds. This enhanced performance minimises the amount of flame retardant required. Antimony trioxide is used in this way in many products including plastics, textiles, rubber, adhesives and plastic covers for aircrafts and automobiles. Around 90% of flame retardant production is utilised in electronics and plastics, in particular for printed circuit boards in the server and computer industry, while the remaining 10% ends up in coated fabrics and furniture upholstery and bedding.

The second most common use of antimony alloy is as a hardener for lead electrodes in lead acid batteries. This use is in decline as the antimony content of typical automotive battery alloys has declined by weight as calcium, aluminium and tin alloys are expected to replace it over time. However, demand from this segment has risen in recent years due to automotive production in countries such as Brazil, India and China.

Tri-Star is proceeding to design and construct an antimony roaster with a capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of metal and a value-added downstream ATO manufacturing facility in the Sultanate of Oman, processing its own and third party concentrates (the "Roaster Project").

Oman based Roaster Project

Background

In 2011, the Company began seeking partners in the Gulf Cooperation Council ("GCC") region to investigate the siting and construction of a 20,000 tonne per annum capacity antimony concentrate roasting facility designed to meet EU environmental and regional based standards, producing antimony ingot, ATO and related products.

As part of Tri-Star's work in respect of this proposed project, an independent consultancy firm based in London was commissioned to deliver a preliminary Engineering Report and Cost Benefit Analysis ("the Report") for the proposed facility. The Report, received in February 2012, confirmed the technical feasibility of the proposed plant and estimated the total capital expenditure requirement for the proposed plant to be approximately US$60 million.

It is envisaged that the facility will have capability to produce both antimony ingots and powdered ATO at high purity for sale to end users. The feedstock is designed around antimony sulphide concentrates supplied from either Tri-Star owned deposits or from purchases of third-party concentrates from various international sources.

When constructed, the proposed facility would be one of the first sizeable Western World antimony roasters designed to be fully compliant with modern environmental legislation, high recoveries and relatively low energy input costs.

Proposed joint venture

A significant milestone was reached in the fourth quarter of 2013 when the Company executed and announced, on 9 October 2013, the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with joint venture partners, Oman Investment Fund and Castell Investments Limited, to establish a joint venture company to develop and build the roaster within the Port of Sohar Free Zone in the Sultanate of Oman.

Further to that announcement, the Company has worked with its joint venture partners to progress the legal, engineering and environmental due diligence work streams associated with the Roaster Project. The process, now well advanced, has moved to the finalisation of the formation of the joint venture entity and the completion of the associated documentation for the project investment and management. Important tasks remain such as securing banking finance and obtaining the necessary permits and licenses for the project commencement. One of these work streams, the Environmental Impact Assessment, has been completed and filed with the relevant authorities.

In December 2013, Tri-Star executed and lodged, on behalf of the joint venture, a formal application in respect of the prospective site for the Roaster Project with the appropriate authorities in Sohar, Oman. This application forms an important part of the process relating to the joint venture company establishing its base in Sohar Free Trade Zone.

Acquisition of Portage

In May 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent for the Acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. ("Portage"), a mineral exploration company which explored for antimony and gold in Eastern Canada. Tri-Star further announced on 7 October 2013 that the acquisition had been duly completed by way of an amalgamation with Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. to form a new company "Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc." that is wholly owned by Tri-Star. The consideration of £3.5 million was satisfied by the issue of 1,085,999,844 new ordinary shares of 0.005p each ("Tri-Star Shares") in exchange for the issued and outstanding common shares of Portage.

As a consequence of the transaction, Tri-Star now owns Portage's Bald Hill deposit, which is one of the largest undeveloped antimony projects in Canada. As outlined in the NI 43-101 technical report for the Bald Hill property, drilling indicated a potential quantity and grade, which is the target of further exploration, in the 725,000 to 1,000,000 tonne range grading 4.11% to 5.32% contained antimony. The Bald Hill deposit presents a synergistic opportunity for Tri-Star given the potential to develop the deposit and for Bald Hill to become a potential future supplier of feedstock for the Roaster Project.

In addition, Tri-Star Antimony Canada has interests in two gold deposits, formerly held by Portage, both of which have NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates. The first of these, Golden Pike, which is 100% owned by Tri-Star Antimony Canada, has an inferred mineral resource of 214,800 tonnes grading 9.6 grams per tonne ("g/t") for 66,300 ounces of contained gold and the second, Golden Ridge, in which Tri-Star Antimony Canada has a 60% interest, has an inferred mineral resources of 17,780,000 tonnes at 0.91 g/t gold for 520,200 ounces of gold. Both of these gold projects continue to be viewed as non-core by the Company.

On completion of the acquisition, Ken Hight, Chairman and CEO of Portage, joined the Board of the Company as an Executive Director.

In February 2014, the Company announced the findings of field work conducted during November and December 2013. The highlights are given below:

· Soil geochemical surveys conducted around the Bald Hill Deposit and South Extension in November and December 2013 demonstrate a potential further 1.5km southeast extension to the Bald Hill deposit (see Figure 2 in announcement dated 7 February 2014).

o Multiple "high priority" targets have been identified along the southeast extension.

o Historical prospecting work in 1997 located antimony bearing boulders which were reported to assay up to 11.3% antimony ("Sb"), from this general area.

· Soil geochemical surveys conducted in November and December 2013 on the Bond Road target provide evidence of another significant mineralized trend (see Figure 3 in announcement dated 7 February 2014).

o Soil surveys have outlined a well-defined, 600m long Sb anomaly with soil values ranging to 119 ppm Sb.

o Prospecting results in 2010 returned antimony values, from angular boulders, assaying up to 53% Sb. Of the 11 anomalous sample collected, 7 returned assay results greater than 15% Sb.

Tri-Star Antimony Canada also has rights to assess an antimony anomaly discovered in till geochemical mapping by the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources. In 2012, a field program covering a total of 64 sites demonstrated that the samples taken were consistently anomalous for antimony. Tri-Star Antimony Canada has rights over another anomalous till sample identified in early 2012 during a survey of an area known as Greenhill.

Turkey

Tri-Star's Göynük Project is the evaluation and redevelopment of a historical artisanal mine in a known antimony belt in the Murat Dagi mountains of western Turkey. The mine is about 250 kilometres east of the port of Izmir on the west coast and 50 kilometres north of Uşak.

The property comprises a mining licence of 25 hectares and is within an exploration area of 780 hectares. A further exploration area was awarded in June 2011 contiguous to the East of the original area (Göynük East) of 6,850 hectares bringing the total exploration area holding to approximately 1,480 hectares. The historical mine workings are at approximately 1,200 metres to 1,310 metres elevation. The area is predominantly forestry land supervised by the Turkish Department of Forestry.

The Company has a Category 4 exploitation concession covering non-ferrous metals including the normal suite of base metals, minor metals (including antimony) and precious metals. The Göynük deposit is undeveloped other than by small scale artisanal workings in the visible high grade mineralised zones. A dump of the former mine production is located on site.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company conducted a geological review, mapping and geophysical study of the deposit. In June 2012, the Company was granted an environmental permit for a small scale processing facility at the Göynük mine site with a processing capacity limit of 14,400 tonnes per annum. The Company has acquired freehold land within the license area in order to plan a layout of the small scale processing facility.

The Company had intended to start small scale processing of the mine dumps at Göynük however following evaluation of funding options for the facility during 2013 has since decided to use this material as test feedstock for the proposed Roaster Project.

Additional information on the Göynük Project is contained in the technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Goynuk Mine and Vicinity, Gediz Municipality, Kutahya Province, Turkey" dated July 31, 2013, with an effective date of June 19, 2012, prepared by Allan P. Juhas, Ph.D., CPG available at www.tri-starresources.com/investors.

Refractory Gold

Refractory gold, or gold trapped in sulphide minerals, is a market that represents over 30% of the world's remaining gold resources in the ground. In 2013, the Company commissioned a third party preliminary technical and economic report (the "Report") to provide an independent evaluation on the potential feasibility of applying the antimony roasting technology developed by the Company to treat refractory gold concentrate.

The Report, which was received in December 2013, outlined that a gold roasting facility would be technically viable and could generate high economic returns and reaffirms the potential value that exists in the roasting technology and knowhow that the Company has developed for its antimony Roaster Project. The Company has engaged with parties who have expressed interest in the gold roasting technology and intends to explore further how it may best be able to monetise the value in this intellectual property.

Funding

In June 2013, the Company completed a private placing of £4.0 million Convertible Bonds with Odey. The Convertible Bonds carry a non-cash coupon of 15% per annum which compounds half yearly and are secured by way of a guarantee and debenture granted by Tri-Star Antimony Canada, Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary which holds all of the Company's Canadian assets. The Convertible Bonds are redeemable at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and, unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled, will mature on the fifth anniversary of the issue of the Convertible Bonds in June 2018. Further detail on the terms of the Convertible Bonds is set out in note 11 of the accompanying financial statements.

The Company also completed an equity placing during the year. In May 2013, it raised £0.5 million through a placing of 166,666,670 ordinary shares at a price of 0.30 pence.

This funding places the Company in a sound financial position and will assist in completing the project financing for the Roaster Project and providing general working capital.

Key Performance Indicators

Given the early stage of the Company's development and its current scale of operations, the Board does not consider the use of particular financial or operational KPIs.

Safety Health and Environmental Policies

Tri-Star is committed to meeting international best industrial practice in each jurisdiction in which it operates with respect to Human rights, Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) policies. Management, employees and contractors are governed by and required to comply with Tri-Star's SHE policies as well as all applicable international, national federal, provincial and municipal legislations and regulations. It is the primary responsibility of the supervisors and other senior field staff of Tri-Star and its subsidiaries to oversee safe work practices and ensure that rules, regulations, policies and procedures are being followed.

Quarterly Reporting

On completion of the Portage acquisition, Tri-Star became a reporting issuer in each of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia in Canada and subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of the relevant Canadian regulations in those jurisdictions, which include quarterly reporting.

As at 1 January 2014, Canadian holders of Tri-Star shares exceeded 10% of Tri-Star's total ordinary share capital (on a fully diluted basis) and consequently Tri-Star will continue to be subject to the Canadian continuous disclosure requirements applicable to Canadian reporting issuers for 2014.

Canadian Securities - Qualified Person

Brian Spratley, BSc EurIng CEng MIMMM, Technical Director of Tri-Star is a Qualified Person in compliance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this Annual Report and Financial Statements.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board continually reviews the risks facing the Group. The Group is not yet revenue generating. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group involve the ability to raise funding in order to finance the continued development of the Group's mining activities, its Roaster Project and any other opportunities identified by the Board, as well as the uncertainties relating to the amount and quality of metals available in its mines, the obtaining of necessary operating permits and licences, the costs of extraction and production and the exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise of cash, convertible bonds and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise financing for the Group's operations. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.

It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are liquidity risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to fund the Group's exploration and operating activities. Management monitors the forecasts of the Group's cash flows and cash balances monthly and raises funds in discrete tranches to manage the activities through to revenue generation.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuating commodity prices of antimony and the existence and quality of the antimony product within the licensed area. The Directors will continue to review the prices of antimony when significant mining is undertaken and will consider how this risk can be mitigated at that stage.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in a number of jurisdictions and carries out transactions in Sterling, Turkish Lira, Canadian dollars, US dollars, UAE Dirhams and Omani Rials. The Group does not have a policy to hedge arrangements but will continue to keep this under review. The Group operates foreign currency bank accounts to help mitigate the foreign currency risk.

Going concern and funding

The Group has not earned revenue during 2013 as it is still in the exploration and development phases of its business. Therefore, the operations of the Group are currently being financed from funds which the Company raises from private and public placings of its shares, convertible bonds and other finance sources.

During the year, the Company completed a private placing of £4.0 million Convertible Bonds with Odey. The Convertible Bonds carry a non-cash coupon of 15% per annum which compounds half yearly and are secured by way of a guarantee and debenture granted by Tri-Star Antimony Canada, Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary which holds all of the Company's Canadian assets.

The Convertible Bonds are redeemable at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and, unless previously redeemed, converted or cancelled, will mature on the fifth anniversary of the issue of the Convertible Bonds in June 2018.

The Company also completed an equity placing in May 2013 when it raised £0.5 million through a placing of 166,666,670 ordinary shares at a price of 0.30 pence.

The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period ending 31 March 2015. The forecasts identify unavoidable third party running costs of the Group and demonstrate that the Group has sufficient cash resources available to allow it to continue in business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Further development of the Group's exploration and investment activities, including any direct investment in the Roaster Project, will continue as and when finance is available. Accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Future prospects

Going forward, we expect the remainder of the year to be a period of significant advancement for the Company in its ambitions of becoming an integrated producer of antimony and in taking forward the very important technical development for refractory gold processing to the next stage. Antimony prices have begun 2014 well with prices around the US$10,000 per tonne level. We are monitoring the possible impact of Chinese restocking and the possible introduction of traded antimony contracts in the relatively newly formed Fanya Metal Exchange in China for minor metals.

The group financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the financial instrument which is at fair value and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The Company's ordinary shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. The Company applies the Companies Act 2006 when preparing its annual financial statements.

The annual financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") have been prepared under IFRS and the principal accounting policies adopted remain unchanged from those adopted by the Group in preparing its financial statements for the prior year ended 31 December 2012.

The principal accounting policies of the Group, which have been applied consistently, are set out in the annual report and financial statements.

GOING CONCERN

The Group has not earned revenue during 2013 as it is still in the exploration and development phases of its business. Therefore, the operations of the Group are currently being financed from funds which the Company raises from public placings of its shares and convertible loans. The Group is reliant on the continuing support from its existing and future shareholders.

As at 31 December 2013, the Group held cash balances of £2.1 million.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the statement of financial position date. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Group obtains and exercises control through voting rights.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On 4 October 2013 Tri-Star acquired 100% of the shares in Portage Minerals Inc., which was then amalgamated with Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. (TSAC). The consideration of £3.5 million was satisfied by the issuance of 1,086 million new Tri-Star ordinary shares. Details of the provisional assets and liabilities acquired are set out in note 20. All transaction costs have been reflected in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

TAXATION

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the statement of financial position date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable result for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases. However, in accordance with IAS12 no deferred tax is recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. This also applies to temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to other comprehensive income or equity are charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Once fair values in respect of business combinations have been finalised, for the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and those intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income, for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.

An impairment loss on other assets is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount and only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation if no impairment loss had been recognised.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

A EXTERNALLY ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Externally acquired intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently amortised over their useful economic lives.

Intangible assets are recognised on business combinations if they are separable from the acquired entity or give rise to other contractual or legal rights. The amounts ascribed to such intangibles are arrived at by using appropriate valuation techniques.

B LICENCES

Licences are recognised as an intangible asset at historical cost and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The licences have a finite life and no residual value and are amortised on a straight line basis over the life of the licence, being six years to 2015.

C GOODWILL

Goodwill is recognised as the excess between (A) and (B), where (A) is the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and in the case of a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value on the acquisition date of the previously held interest in the acquiree and (B) the net value, at the acquisition date, of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, measured at fair value. If the resultant amount is negative, as in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised as income directly in the statement of comprehensive income. Consideration transferred is recognised at fair value.

Goodwill relating to the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets, while goodwill relating to associates is included in investment in associates.

Goodwill is carried at initial value less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units for the purposes of impairment testing, these CGU's being the units which are expected to benefit from the business combination that generated the goodwill.

EXPLORATION OF MINERAL RESOURCES

All costs associated with mineral exploration prior to 31 December 2013 have been expensed in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income due to the uncertainty of the future revenues and speculative nature of the exploration costs. The Directors will continue to assess exploration of mineral resources on a project-by-project basis and will capitalise costs once the feasibility of the project is established.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Measurement bases

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the working condition and location for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is added to the carrying amount of the assets only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred. When assets are sold, any gain or loss resulting from their disposal, being the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, is included in the statement of comprehensive income.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, less its estimated residual value, which is revised annually, over its useful economic life on a straight line basis as follows:

Motor Vehicles - 5 years

Equipment - 3 years

FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group's financial assets comprise other receivables.

All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs.

Interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured, except instruments that are designated at fair value through profit and loss on initial recognition.

Trade and other receivables are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade and other receivables are provided against when objective evidence is received that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the write-down is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, bank deposits repayable on demand, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, less advances from banks repayable within three months from the date of advance if the advance forms part of the Group's cash management.

EQUITY

Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.

Other reserves comprise the amounts arising on the reverse acquisition

Translation reserves are amounts in respect of translation of overseas subsidiaries.

Share based payment reserve comprises amounts arising on the share based employee remuneration and share based payments made to consultants in settlement of services provided.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period results as disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The Company operates equity settled share based remuneration plans for remuneration of its employees and equity settled share based plans in respect of services received from external consultants.

All employee services received in exchange for the grant of any share based remuneration are measured at their fair values. These are indirectly determined by reference to the fair value of the share options awarded. Their value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).

All share based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding credit to the share based payment reserve, net of deferred tax where applicable. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. No adjustment is made to the expense recognised in prior periods if fewer share options ultimately are exercised than originally estimated.

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded as share premium. Upon exercise of warrants, the value of the warrants exercised is transferred from the share based payment reserve to share capital and share premium.

FEES SETTLED IN SHARES

Where shares have been issued as consideration for services provided they are measured at the fair value of the services provided.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The Group's financial liabilities include other financial liabilities and trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of direct issue costs, and are subsequently recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method with interest related charges recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bond, when investors exercise their conversion rights the Company has an obligation to deliver ordinary shares to those investors (see note 11 for further information).

In accordance with IAS 32 and 39, since Tri-Star has a contractual right to deliver a variable number of shares, the conversion option qualifies as an embedded derivative. Thus, the Convertible Bonds are treated as a hybrid instrument which includes a component of debt and an embedded derivative for the conversion option held by the bondholder.

The Company initially measures the embedded derivative at fair value and classifies it under the derivative financial instruments liability heading. At the end of each financial accounting reporting period, the embedded derivative is re-measured and changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

The debt component is initially recorded as the difference between the proceeds received for the Convertible Bond and the fair value of the aforementioned embedded derivative. Subsequently, the debt component is measured at amortised cost until it is settled upon conversion or maturity. Debt issuance costs are recognised as a deduction in the value of the debt in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and included as part of its amortised cost.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

These financial statements are presented in UK Sterling which is the functional currency of the parent company. The group carries out transactions in United States dollars, Turkish Lira, Canadian dollars, United Arab Emirates Dirhams and Omani Rials. The directors are keeping under review the functional currency of the Company.

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit or loss.

Sales of antimony in US dollars are translated into Sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

The results and financial position of Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

· assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;

· income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and

· all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity within translation reserve.

OPERATING LEASES

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified as operating leases.

Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The following critical accounting judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are discussed below:

Share based payment transaction

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The charge for the year ended 31 December 2013 of £56,000 (2012: £203,000) is determined by using a Black-Scholes valuation model, using the assumptions detailed in note 13. The key assumptions in the model involving a critical estimate are the share price volatility of between 58% and 67% and the life of the options. The former has been determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Tri-Star share price. The Board have assumed the options will be exercised between 6 and 36 months after they have vested.

Services received from external consultants are measured at their fair values, with a charge of £357,000 (2012: £643,000) recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Other intangible exploration asset valuation

Owing to the proximity of the acquisition of Portage to the year end, the directors have not yet finalised their review of the fair value of the separable net assets acquired, although expect to finalise this review within the first year of the acquisition date. The acquisition of Portage allowed the Group access to the accumulated benefit of exploration costs incurred by Portage over a 7 year period. The findings of this exploratory work, together with the additional spend needed to fully understand the potential strategic value of the asset, will be important in enabling the Group to realise the full potential of the Roaster project.

The provisional fair value of the intangible 'exploratory asset' acquired has been assessed at £4,296,000. The fair value of this asset, together with the other assets and liabilities acquired, will be assessed over the coming months. This assessment may derive a different value to the provisional value currently reported on the Group Statement of Financial Position.

Treatment of exploration and evaluation costs

IFRS 6 "Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources" requires an entity to consistently apply a policy to account for expenditure on exploration and evaluation of a mineral resource. The Directors have chosen to expense the exploration and evaluation costs to date on the basis that the future development of the mine remains uncertain as at 31 December 2013. The Directors will continue to asses this and when feasibility is determined will look to capitalise further costs in line with accounting standards.

Convertible loan accounting

The Group has measured the carrying value of the liability component of the Convertible Bonds as the initial amount loaned plus costs, less the fair value of the derivative liability on issue plus interest, calculated using the amortised interest rate.

The fair value of the derivative liability embedded in the Convertible Bonds was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The movement in fair value since issue is recorded in profit and loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value:

- The model assumes that the bonds will be exercised on 31 December 2014.

- The share price volatility is 58% which was based on historic volatility.

- An exercise price of 0.27p being the exercise price which would have applied on 31 December 2013 and a share price of 0.30p being the market share price at that time.

- The effects of potential dilution were not factored.

In valuing the derivative component of the Convertible Bonds, the Directors have assumed a conversion price of 0.27p which represents the current conversion price of the Convertible Bonds. The conversion price may be varied in the future as it is based on the most recent equity fund raising undertaken by the Company at the time of conversion. The Company raised £500,000 in May 2013 at a price of 0.30p, which when applying the 10% discount mandated by the Convertible Bond instrument, provides for a conversion price of 0.27p. The Directors believe that until a further fund raising is undertaken the current conversion price represents the most appropriate basis on which to base valuation of the Convertible Bonds.

Other critical assumptions underlying the valuation of the derivative (or "option") component of the Convertible Bonds are: the period to conversion; volatility; the risk free rate and the impact of dilution.

The Directors believe that the Convertible Bond is likely to be subject to conversion during the life of the Bond and that it is unlikely that the Convertible Bond will run to term. Conversion is not in the control of the Company but it is the Directors expectation that the Convertible Bond is likely to be the subject of conversion in the near term and so for the basis of the option valuation, a conversion date of 31 December 2014 has been assumed.

Volatility of the Company's ordinary shares has been calculated by reference to the actual observed volatility of the Company's ordinary shares for the twelve months to 31 December 2013. The risk free rate is currently 0.5% (UK Bank of England lending rate).

As regards the impact of dilution, as Tri-Star is a publicly traded company the impact of dilution on option valuation has not been factored into valuation model as the valuation has been based on Tri-Star's share price immediately after the Convertible Bond was issued. The Directors believe that the post announcement share price would have incorporated the potential dilution effect of the Convertible Bond on Tri-Star's share capital as a whole and therefore the dilution impact has not been considered again when the option was valued.

Treatment of warrants issued

The warrants issued to shareholders in conjunction with the share placing on 29 March 2011 were outside the scope of IFRS 2 as they were issued to shareholders in their capacity as shareholders. The warrants have therefore been accounted for under IAS 32. The warrants meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 as they are for a fixed number of ordinary shares for a fixed price. There is no alternative settlement for the warrants and as such they are equity only instruments. The warrants were issued, along with the share placing for consideration of £nil. The Directors consider the fair value of the warrants to not be materially different to the proceeds received and not material to the financial statements. On the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc, outstanding warrants in Portage Minerals Inc. became exercisable for Tri-Star shares at a rate of 7.159849 Tri-Star shares per Portage Minerals Inc. share. Due to the short remaining lives of these warrants and the exercise prices, the directors consider the fair value of the warrants to not be materially different to the proceeds received and not material to the financial statements.

Goodwill valuation

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. was calculated as being the difference between the purchase cost and the provisional value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill was reviewed for impairment at 31 December 2013.

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards the directors have assessed the carrying value of the goodwill with reference to the fair value less costs to sell. Given the proximity of the transaction to the year end the directors consider that the goodwill is not impaired. As a consequence, detailed value in use calculations have not been performed since accounting standards require the carrying value of goodwill to be reviewed for impairment against the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use.

Adoption of new or amended IFRS

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of new standards which are in issue but not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group will be relevant to the group but will not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies. These are:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective date 1 January 2015)

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective date 1 January 2014)

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective date 1 January 2014)

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective date 1 January 2014)

IAS 27 (Revised), Separate Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2014)

IAS 28 (Revised), Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective 1 January 2014)

IFRIC 21 Levies (effective 1 January 2014)

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27, IAS 36 and IAS 39 (effective 1 January 2014)

Amendments to IAS 19 and the annual updates to various other standards (effective 1 July 2014)

There are other standards in issue but not yet effective, which are not likely to be relevant to the group which have therefore not been listed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about the allocation of resources and an assessment of performance and about which discrete financial information is available.

The chief operating decision maker has defined that the Group's only operating segment during the period is mining. All of the corporate headquarter costs are allocated to the mining segment.

The Group has not generated any revenues from external customers during the period.

In respect of the non-current assets, £70,000 (2012: £14,000) arise in the UK, and £4,914,000 (2012: £51,000) arise in the rest of the world.

4. TAXATION

Unrelieved tax losses of approximately £5.09 million (2012: £3.38 million) remain available to offset against future taxable trading profits. The unprovided deferred tax asset at 31 December 2013 is £1,239,000 (2012: £838,000) which has not been provided on the grounds that it is uncertain when taxable profits will be generated by the Group to utilise those losses.

The tax assessed for the period differs from the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK as follows:

	2013	2012

5. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

	2013	2012
	£'000	£'000
(Loss) attributable to owners of the Company after tax	(2,747)	(2,351)

Basic and diluted loss per share	(0.05)	(0.05)

Dilutive earnings per share is the same as basic loss per share in each year because the potential shares arising under the share option scheme and share warrants are anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of ordinary shares excludes deferred shares which have no voting rights and no entitlement to a dividend.

The 'exploration asset' arising on acquisition relates to the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. during the year. The transaction was effected by the issuance of 1,086 million shares representing a fair value of consideration of £3.5 million. Further detail is given in note 20.

The exploration asset has not been amortised in the year due to the proximity of the transaction to the year end date. The exploration asset is not required to be reviewed for impairment unless there are any indications that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

At 31 December 2013, given the proximity of the acquisition of Portage to the year end, the directors consider that there are no indications of impairment at this stage.

As detailed further in note 20 the directors are still reviewing the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction and as such the fair value of the other intangible exploration asset is provisional and subject to review over the coming months.

Goodwill on acquisition relates to the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. during the year.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are any indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to the cash generating unit according to the level of which it is monitored. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. All of the goodwill relates to the Canadian operation and is in respect of the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc, therefore all of the goodwill is allocated in full to this cash generating unit.

An asset is impaired if its carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. At 31 December 2013 the Directors have carried out an impairment review of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. by considering the carrying value of the goodwill compared to the fair value less costs to sell.

Given the proximity of the transaction to the year end the directors consider that the goodwill is not impaired. Consequently detailed value in use calculations have not been performed since accounting standards require the carrying value of goodwill to be reviewed for impairment against the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use.

Mining and mineral licenses are amortised on a straight line basis over the life of the licenses.

Trade and other receivables	87	120

The fair value of these short term financial assets is not individually determined as the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

All other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of impairment, none are overdue.

Included within other receivables is £Nil (2012: £Nil) of recoverable VAT in Turkey. Under Turkish law, VAT on purchases is not refunded, instead it can offset the VAT arising and due on sales made. As the timing and recoverability of the VAT balance is not yet certain, the Directors have provided against the full balance in the financial statements at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012.

10. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

	31 December 2013	31 December 2012
	£'000	£'000

Trade payables	100	50
Social security and other taxes	11	29
Other payables	127	10
Accruals and deferred income	175	82

The fair value of trade and other payables has not been disclosed as, due to their short duration, management considers the carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial position to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

11. CONVERTIBLE SECURED LOAN NOTES

On 19 June 2013, Tri-Star issued Convertible Secured Loan Notes to Odey, for £4.0 million (the "Convertible Bonds"). The Convertible Bonds were drawn down in two tranches of £1.33 million on 20 June 2013 and of £2.67 million on 27 September 2013. The Convertible Bonds carry a non-cash coupon of 15% per annum which compounds half yearly and are secured by way of a guarantee and debenture granted by Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. They are redeemable at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on 19 June 2018 (unless otherwise previously redeemed or converted).

The Convertible Bonds are convertible at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest at the holder's option into ordinary shares at a conversion price which is fixed at the time of conversion at a 10% discount to the lower of:

- the latest equity funding round completed prior to the issue of the conversion notice; and

- any equity funding round completed within 10 days of the conversion notice

As at 31 December 2013, the conversion price stood at £0.0027 per Tri-Star ordinary share.

The carrying value of the host debt component of the Convertible Bonds at 31 December 2013 amounted to £2,436,000 (2012: £nil).

The conversion option (limited by the early repayment clause) is an embedded derivative treated as a liability at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of the embedded derivative, calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, was £1,234,000 (on issue: £1,405,000). The decrease in fair value since issue, amounting to £171,000, has been recorded in finance income in the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: £nil).

The Convertible Bonds are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as:

	On Issue	At 31 December 2013	Profit and loss movement
	£'000	£'000	£'000
Carrying value of host debt instrument	2,343	2,568	(225)
Fair value of derivative	1,405	1,234	171
	3,748	3,802	(54)

The movement is the carrying value of the host debt instrument relates to accrued interest.

The key data for the valuation model were the share price and number of shares, expected option maturity life, risk free interest rate and underlying volatility as set out in the table below.

	31 Dec 2013
"Spot Tri-Star" price, in £	0.0028
"Strike" conversion price, in £	0.0027
Maturity	31 December 2014
Volatility	58%
Number of shares	1,803,010,994

On issue the host debt instrument was recorded at £2,343,000 being the difference between the fair value of the derivative and the proceeds. Thereafter in line with accounting standards the host debt instrument is carried at amortised cost with an effective interest rate of 27.24%.

12. DEFERRED TAX LIABILITY

A deferred tax liability of £815,000 (2012: Nil) has been recognised on the intangible exploration asset acquired as part of the business combination.

13. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

In respect of employees

The Group operates share option schemes for certain employees and consultants (including Directors). Options are exercisable at the option price agreed at the date of grant. The options are settled in equity once exercised. The expected life of the options issued in 2011 ranges from 12 months to 36 months based on management's expectation of when they will be exercised. If the options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from the date of grant, the options expire. The expected life of the options issued in 2013 is 6 months, and they expire on 31 December 2017 if they remain unexercised. Options are forfeited after 12 months if the employee leaves the Group. There are no performance related conditions for exercise. The options will vest in accordance with the agreed timetable ranging from the date of the grant to the second anniversary of the date of the grant. There are no other vesting conditions.

Details of the number of share options and the weighted average exercise price (WAEP) outstanding during the year are as follows:

The share options outstanding at the end of the period have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.03 years (2012: 9.22) and have the following exercise prices and fair values at the date of grant:

First exercise date (when vesting conditions are met)	Grant date	Exercise price	Fair value	31 December 2013	31 December 2012

04-Oct-13	04-Oct-13	0.005	0.000899	27,800,000	-

At 31 December 2013 all of the 471,800,000 options outstanding were exercisable (2012: 326,000,000).

The weighted average exercise price of the options at the year end is £0.016.

The share options issued on 27 August 2010 can be exercised up to 9.5 years after the date first exercisable. They are first exercisable once the commercial viability of the Turkish mine is established and additional funds are raised to enable further exploration and development of the mine. This was expected to be within 6 months of grant date.

The share options issued on 10 May 2012 all expire 10 years after the grant date. It has been assumed that 1p options will be exercised 12 months after the grant date, or on the date exercisable if this is later, 2p options will be exercised 24 months after the grant date and 3p options will be exercised 36 months after the grant date.

The share options issued on 4 October 2013 are exercisable immediately and expire on 31 December 2017. It has been assumed that these will be exercised 6 months after the grant date.

The fair values of new options granted were calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs into the model were as follows:

	2013	2012
Risk free rate	0.5%	-
Share price volatility	58.0%	-
Expected life	6 months	-
Share price at date of grant	£0.0029	-

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Tri-Star share price. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

The Group recognised total expenses of £56,000 (2012: £203,000) relating to equity-settled share-based payment transactions during the year. These recognised expenses are not, and never will be, a cash cost to the Group but are merely an accounting charge to the income statement reflecting the theoretical cost to the Group if options are exercised in the future where the receipts from exercise are lower than if the same number of shares had been issued at the then prevailing market value.

In respect of services from external consultants

On 3 August 2009, a warrant was issued for 15,000,000 ordinary shares. The warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part or parts, at any time and from the date of completion of the reverse acquisition until the fifth anniversary of the date of completion of the reverse acquisition, which was 27 August 2010.

In December 2010, 10,000,000 ordinary shares were issued following the exercise of 10,000,000 warrants, leaving 5,000,000 warrants exercisable at 31 December 2013, and 31 December 2012. The weighted average share price at date of exercise of the warrants was 0.78 pence. The weighted average exercise price is 0.2 pence (2012: 0.2 pence) and the warrants have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.66 years (2012: 2.66 years).

In respect of services paid in shares

Under the terms of the shareholders' agreement, RAK Holding was entitled to 300 million new ordinary shares for services provided. The issue of these shares was subject to RAK Holding completing and obtaining the preliminary land lease agreements, industrial zoning, essential permits for operating export & import licenses, a preliminary environmental no objection certificate and secure gas allocation. The fair value of these services was considered by the Directors at the date the shareholder agreement was reached (April 2012), with reference to the market value of the services provided, which was assessed at £1 million.

At the time of the agreement the Directors estimated that these conditions were likely to be met in May 2013 and the vesting period was calculated as being fourteen months from April 2012 to May 2013. A share based payment charge of £357,000 (2012: £643,000) has been recognised relating to this fee paid in shares during the year. In May 2013 the conditions were satisfied and 300 million ordinary shares were issued to RAK Holding.

Of the 466,670,000 shares issued on 2 May 2013, 300,000,000 were issued to RAK Holdings Limited. These have been treated as a share based payment per the Shareholders Agreement. In March 2013 the Shareholders Agreement was modified to reflect that £1,000,000 would be paid for the services provided. On 2 May 2013 this liability for £1,000,000 was settled in shares.

Each Ordinary Share issued on 29 March 2011 had a three-year half warrant attached to it which is exercisable at 2 pence, and a three year half warrant attached to it which is exercisable at 3 pence. The warrants will not be admitted to trading on AIM.

Each warrant is governed by the provisions of warrant instruments representing the warrants which have been adopted by the Company. The rights conferred by the warrants are transferable in whole or in part subject to and in accordance with the transfer provisions set out in the Articles. The holders of warrants have no voting rights, pre-emptive rights or other rights attaching to Ordinary Shares. All warrants issued vest in full.

These warrants fall outside the scope of IFRS2 as they have been issued to shareholders in their capacity as shareholders and have therefore not been treated as share based payments.

The deferred shares have no voting rights and are not eligible for dividends.

18. SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKINGS

	holdings
Üç Yildiz Antimon Madencilik İthalat Ve İhracat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi	99%
Tri-Star Trading Limited	100%
Tri-Star Antimony Canada, Inc.	100%
Tri-Star Union FZ-LLC	90%
Rockport Mining Corporation*	100%
Golden Ridge Joint Venture*	60%

Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the province of New Brunswick on 12 April 2011, and subsequently continued under the laws of Canada. On 4 October 2013 Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. amalgamated with Portage Minerals Inc.

*Rockport Minerals Inc. and the interest in Golden Ridge are owned by Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc.

Tri-Star Union FZ-LLC was incorporated in the United Arab Emirates on 19 October 2011. The non controlling interest has been disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Üç Yildiz Antimon Madencilik İthalat Ve İhracat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi was incorporated in Turkey.

The loss associated to the non-controlling interest in Üç Yildiz Antimon Madencilik İthalat Ve İhracat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi has not been disclosed as it is immaterial to the group loss.

On incorporation of Tri-Star Union FZ-LLC ("Tri-Star LLC"), Tri-Star issued an option to RAK Holding over 39.99% of the share capital in Tri-Star LLC for nil consideration. This option could be exercised by RAK Holding once certain criteria had been met. On the basis that there was significant uncertainty surrounding both the future viability of Tri-Star LLC and the exercise of the option, the Directors, believe that they have control over Tri-Star LLC at the date the option was issued and at 31 December 2013. Furthermore, given the immaterial size and value of Tri-Star LLC at both the date the option was granted and 31 December 2013, the Directors hold the view that the option has negligible value. Critically, any value attaching to the option is dependent upon, inter alia, the securing of funding to build the roaster plant (as discussed in the Strategic Report) and at the date the option was issued and 31 December 2013 this was uncertain.

19. OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

Total commitments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

	Land and Buildings
	2013	2012
	£'000	£'000
Operating leases which expire:
Within one year	47	40
Greater than one year, less than five years	-	8

The Group leases an office and a production building. The office building is under a non-cancellable lease term of three years, the production building has a non-cancellable term of three months.

20. ACQUISITIONS

In May 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent for the Acquisition of Portage Minerals Inc. ("Portage"). Tri-Star further announced on 7 October 2013 that the acquisition had been duly completed. The consideration of £3.5million was satisfied by the issuance of 1,086 million new Tri-Star ordinary shares. Portage is a mineral exploration company which explores for antimony and gold in Eastern Canada.

The assets and liabilities of Portage Minerals Inc. acquired were as follows:
			Fair value
			£'000

Other investments			7
Debtors			29
Cash at bank			7
Trade creditors			(19)
Other creditors & loans			(791)
Exploration asset			4,296
Deferred tax liability			(815)
Net assets acquired			2,714

Satisfied by:

Fair value of consideration settled in shares			3,529
Goodwill			815

Acquisition costs charged to Income Statement			363

Given the proximity to the year end of the transaction, the directors are still reviewing the assets and liabilities acquired in respect of the business combination and as such the fair values in the table above are provisional. The exploration asset recognised represents historic exploration and evaluation expenditure undertaken by Portage Minerals Inc prior to the acquisition by Tri-Star Resources plc and is stated at provisional fair value. The final fair value of this intangible is still under review and will be reported during 2014.

Should the acquisition have taken place at the beginning of the year, the loss before tax for the group would have been £3,310,000.

Since acquisition Portage contributed the following to the Group's cashflow:

	£'000
Cash outflow from operating activities	(721)
Cash inflow from financing activities	737
Movement in cash	16

21. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

On 16 January 2014, the Company announced that as part of the fee arrangements with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company issued a total of 1,568,193 new ordinary shares of 0.005p each ("New Shares") in the Company to SP Angel at a 10 day VWAP of 0.310 pence for a total fair value of approximately £4,560.

Following Admission of the New Shares on 22 January 2014 and as at the date of this announcement, the total number of shares in issue and total voting rights in the company is 6,845,114,725 Ordinary Shares of 0.005p each.
