INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
KEFI Minerals, an AIM-quoted gold and copper exploration company with projects
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim
results for the half-year ended 30 June 2012.
Highlights of the Half-Year Period
* The Gold and Minerals JV ("G&M") in Saudi Arabia was granted 2 Exploration
Licences (ELs) by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Deputy Ministry for Mineral
Resources in January 2012 and a further 1 EL (outside the reporting period,
on 4 July 2012). The G&M JV has now 4 granted ELs and 19 EL applications.
* Exploration work at the Selib North project defined new gold-bearing dykes
at the Camel Hill prospect with best trench results of 17m at 3.4 g/t Au.
Diamond drilling commenced in July 2012.
* Exploration at the Jibal Qutman prospect returned rock chip channel samples
of up to 4m at 9.36 g/t Au and 93 g/t Ag and trench sampling carried out
outside the reporting period in July returned best results of 3.2m at 27.7
g/t Au and 262 g/t Au.
* The Company decided to allow its exclusivity period, over the tailings
retreatment project and mining of remnant ore at the Tiouit Mine in
Morocco, to lapse. The due diligence and evaluation work that was conducted
during the exclusivity period, since July 2011, demonstrated less potential
than initially envisaged.
* In February 2012, raised £1,850,000 via a placing at 3p per share.
* In August 2012, raised £966,000 via a placing to 3 members of the Al Rashid
family at 2.3p per share.
Jeffrey Rayner, Managing Director of KEFI Minerals, commented:
"KEFI Minerals through the G&M JV in Saudi Arabia has made excellent progress
in 2012. Our exploration work has led to new gold discoveries and early drill
target definition. Diamond drilling has commenced at the Selib North prospect
and is due to start at the Jibal Qutman prospect in early September 2012. The
Company's strategy is very cost-effective with every one of our highly
dedicated full-time personnel focused on activities in the field."

References in this announcement to exploration results and potential have been
approved for release by Mr Jeffrey Rayner (BSc.Hons). Mr Rayner is a geologist
and has more than 25years relevant experience in the field of activity
concerned. He is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy (AusIMM) and has consented to the inclusion of the material in the
form and context in which it appears.
Managing Director's Report
The Company has been advancing its prospects in Saudi Arabia with the G&M JV.
The Arabian Shield is under-explored and has excellent potential for discovery
of major gold and copper mines. We will continue to progress effective
exploration programmes that aim to fast-track gold discovery and eventual
development of new mines.
Exploration - Saudi Arabia
The Gold & Minerals Joint Venture has been granted a further 3 ELs up to July
2012, bringing the total to 4 ELs and 19 ELAs. Exploration work in 2012 has
involved surface mapping, reconnaissance sampling, trenching and initiated in
July diamond drilling at the Selib North prospect.
New gold structures have been discovered at the Selib North prospect hosted in
pyritic dykes and sampling of trenches revealed best results of 17m at 3.4 g/t
Au. The dykes have been mapped over an extensive area and geophysics is planned
to locate the mineralised dykes at depth.
Diamond drilling commenced in July and drill results are pending.
The Company released encouraging trench results from the Jibal Qutman prospect,
in July 2012, outside the reporting period. Mapping and sampling has extended
the quartz vein field to over 3km in strike and discovered new veins. The veins
are generally 2-5m thick and highlights from initial sampling of the unmined
portions of the trenches include the following:
* 3.2 m at 27.7 g/t Au and 262 g/t Ag
* 4.0 m at 14.9 g/t Au and 84 g/t Ag
* 5.0 m at 10.9 g/t Au and 56 g/t Ag
* 4.2 m at 4.6 g/t Au and 35 g/t Ag
* 2.0 m at 7.2 g/t Au and 58 g/t Ag and
* 19.0 m at 1.9 g/t Au.
Diamond drilling is scheduled to commence at Jibal Qutman in early September
2012.
At the Hikyrin South licence, samples taken from the waste dumps of the ancient
Houimedan West mine have returned grades of up to 16.3 g/t Au and averaged 5.9
g/t Au from 24 samples spread over a 700m strike length. The veins are
generally narrow and extend over 1km.
Permitting of the 19 ELAs is continuing and the G&M JV is expecting further
licence grants in H2 2012.
Outlook
The Arabian Shield is recognised as under-explored and is very prospective for
discoveries of large gold and copper deposits.
KEFI Minerals continues to develop its tenement position within the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia as a 40% equity holder and operator of the Gold and Minerals Joint
Venture with ARTAR.
KEFI Minerals will continue its current exploration efforts in a very
cost-effective manner while evaluating further opportunities in the region. We
are fully focused on expanding G&M's presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
and are encouraged by our results thus far. The Company is well funded to
continue with the 12,000m drilling programme planned on the granted ELs and
those expected in the second half of 2012.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
1. Incorporation and principal activities
Country of incorporation
The Company was incorporated in United Kingdom as a public limited company on
24 October 2006. Its registered office is at 27/28 Eastcastle Street, London
W1W 8DH.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group for the period are:
* To explore for mineral deposits of precious and base metals and other
minerals that appear capable of commercial exploitation, including
topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies and
exploratory drilling.
* To evaluate mineral deposits determining the technical feasibility and
commercial viability of development, including the determination of the
volume and grade of the deposit, examination of extraction methods,
infrastructure requirements and market and finance studies.
* To develop, operate mineral deposits and market the metals produced.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed
interim consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been applied consistently throughout the period presented in these
condensed interim consolidated financial statements unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation and consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standards (IFRS) including
International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and using
the historical cost convention.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (`the statements")
are unaudited and include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary undertakings. They have been prepared using accounting bases and
policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial
statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011.
These statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual
financial statements, and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and other information set out in the Company's 31 December
2011 Annual Report. The accounting policies are unchanged from those disclosed
in the annual consolidated financial statements.
Going concern
The Directors have formed a judgment at the time of approving the condensed
interim consolidated financial statements that there is a reasonable
expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends principally on
the discovery of economically viable mineral deposits, obtaining the necessary
mining licences and the availability of subsequent funding to extract the
resource or alternatively the availability of funding to extend the Company's
exploration activities. The financial statements do not include any adjustment
that would arise from a failure to complete any of the above. Changes in future
conditions could require write downs of the carrying values of property, plant
and equipment, intangible assets and/or deferred tax.
KEFI MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Use and revision of accounting estimates
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
requires the making of estimations and assumptions that affect the recognised
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of
making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which
the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the
period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current
and future periods.
Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
The Group has adopted all the new and revised IFRSs and International
Accounting Standards (IAS) which are relevant to its operations and are
effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 January 2012. The adoption of
these Standards did not have a material effect on the condensed interim
consolidated financial statements.
At the date of authorisation of these condensed interim consolidated financial
statements some Standards were in issue but not yet effective. The Board of
Directors expects that the adoption of these Standards in future periods will
not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the
Group.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgments 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 estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year are unchanged from those disclosed in the annual
consolidated financial statements.
3. Operating segments
The Group has only one distinct operating segment, being that of mineral
exploration. The Group's exploration activities are located in Turkey and
Bulgaria and its administration and management is based in Cyprus.

4. Loss per share
The calculation of the basic and fully diluted loss per share attributable to
the ordinary equity holders of the parent is based on the following data:
Six months Six months
to 30 June to 30 June
2012 2011
GBP'000 GBP'000
Net loss attributable to equity shareholders (755) (651)
Average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of 409,130 358,688
basic loss per share (`000s)
Basic and fully diluted loss per share (pence) 0.19 0.18
The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share as the
exercise of the share options would decrease the basic loss per share, thus
being anti-dilutive.

we do not express an audit opinion.

believe that the accompanying financial statements do not give a true and fair
view in accordance with International Accounting Standards.
