Chairman Statement
It gives me great pleasure to report on Goldplat's progress during the past year
as we consolidate our position as the market leader in gold recovery from
by-products of the mining process in Africa, and work towards our objective of
becoming a junior gold miner in Africa. Â During the period under review, our two
gold recovery businesses in South Africa and Ghana have performed strongly.
 Development of Kilimapesa Gold (Pty) Ltd. ('Kilimapesa'), our Kenyan gold
mining operation to commercial production, has been slowed by delays in the
issue of the Mining Licence. Â However, the issue of the licence has been
progressed since the end of the financial year and as announced on 23 August
2010 the Commissioner of Mines has approved the commercial production of gold
pending finalisation of the issue of the mining licence. Â Furthermore we have
expanded our mining activities into Burkina Faso in West Africa, one of the
world's fastest growth regions for gold production, via the acquisition of an
option over the Nyieme gold project ('Nyieme') from Sanu Exploration (BVI)
Limited ('Sanu'), a wholly owned subsidiary of NGEX Resources Inc.
A strong growth in operating profit from £1,824,000 to £2,059,000 (an increase
of 13%) is the main feature of the results for the year. Â This was achieved
after a charge for share based payments relating to share options issued
previously of £237,000 (2009: £134,000).  A final charge of £103,000 in respect
of these options will be made in 2011, assuming all options vest. Â Despite the
increase in both operating profit and production expressed in ounces of gold,
reported turnover reduced from £11.1 million in 2009 to £10.7 million.  This
reduction is caused largely by different arrangements with suppliers of raw
materials for processing at our two gold recovery operations, where some
suppliers of high grade materials are credited with part of the gold sold thus
reducing reported turnover.
A reduction in the profit before tax from £2,405,000 to £1,943,000 is the result
of a number of factors. After adjusting for these the "Normalised" profit for
the year has increased by 14% from £2,007,000 to £2,284,000 as follows:

+-----------------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
Cash at bank has reduced from £2,198,000 to £1,018,000 as a result of investment
in new mining assets at Kilimapesa and Nyieme, in accordance with Goldplat's
growth strategy of moving into gold mining. Â We have also heavily invested in
increasing our stocks of gold bearing raw materials and further plant
improvements at our gold recovery businesses in South Africa and Ghana, to
further strengthen our dominant market position in this business segment.
No dividend is proposed as the profits will be retained for further expansion of
our operations and to accelerate our growth strategy.
Gold production at our two gold recovery operations continued to perform
strongly and in line with management expectations. Â Total production for the
year increased slightly to 21,461 oz Au (2009: 21,068 oz Au), comprising 17,263
oz Au in South Africa and 4,198 oz Au in Ghana. Â In terms of stockpiles, we have
34,000 oz of contained gold in stockpiles at our South African plant and 20,900
oz of contained gold in stockpiles in Ghana.
Additionally we have continued to implement initiatives to optimise both the
South African and Ghanaian gold recovery plants' production capabilities.
In South Africa, an intensive cyanidation plant, which improves gold recovery
rates, has now been commissioned and it is expected to provide cost savings and
improve the cash flow of the operation. Â In Ghana, equipment required to
establish a fire assay laboratory at Tema, which will allow for the more
efficient evaluation and purchasing of stocks, has been received from South
Africa and is expected to be operational in October 2010. Â Furthermore we are
near to completing a wash bay to increase the feed rate of raw materials to the
existing gold plant to increase gold production.
At current prices and average production costs in the region of £330 per oz Au
(2009: £413 per oz Au) at our South African operations and £441 per oz Au (2009:
£456 per oz Au) in Ghana, I believe the potential of our operations to generate
significant cash flow is evident.
Mining still remains central to our vision for the future of Goldplat. Â As a
first step, we are committed to developing Kilimapesa, which is located in the
historically producing Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt in Kenya. Â It is our
intention to develop Kilimapesa as a small profitable producing gold mine, with
an initial target of producing approximately 5,000 oz Au per annum within 12
months of being granted its mining licence. Â In terms of being issued our mining
licence at Kilimapesa, as announced on 22 July 2010, we have received
communication from the Commissioner of Mines and Geology that Kilimapesa Gold
has complied with all requirements for the issuing of the licence. Â In addition,
as announced on 23 August 2010, we also received approval from the Commissioner
to commence commercial gold production from existing stockpiles. Â The full
underground operations at Kilimapesa will resume once the cadastral survey
submission with the Director of Survey is completed and the full Mining Licence
issued.
In terms of exploration at Kilimapesa, in October 2009 we announced an initial
JORC-compliant resource. Â The underground gold resource estimate totalled
1.65Mt at 2.44 g/t Au for 129,000 oz Au at a cut-off grade of 1 g/t Au for all
categories. Â The Measured and Indicated resource totals 409,000t at 2.39 g/t Au
for 31,416 oz Au plus an additional 1.24Mt at 2.43 g/t for 98,000 oz Au within
the Inferred category. Â Management has compiled an exploration and development
programme to increase the resource base and to be able to commence production at
other sites in the area.
Additionally, in line with our strategy of building a mid-tier mining company
focused in Africa, during 2010 we strengthened our position within the highly
regarded West African region and acquired Sanu's option over the Nyieme in
Burkina Faso. Â It is our intention to fast-track exploration of the project to
prove its economic viability.
The 246 sq km Nyieme project includes known high-grade quartz vein structures,
with historical drill core results showing up to 17.83 g/t gold over one metre
and 11.67 g/t over five metres. Â Our management team is highly confident about
the potential of the Nyieme Project in Burkina Faso and has therefore devised an
extensive exploration programme to test both the existing high grade targets, as
well as potential new areas of mineralisation. Â This consists of a phased
exploration programme which includes a trenching programme over areas of
geophysical and soil sampling anomalies which began in May 2010; and a 1,150m
diamond drilling programme, over the area previously drilled by Sanu, which
commenced in August 2010. Â The Company's budget for the phased resource
development programme is US$240,000, and we hope to have defined a resource at
Nyieme by the end of 2010. Â After this we will undertake further follow-up
drilling based on results from Phases 1 and 2 to further define the economic
potential of the project.
In terms of future expansion, we are actively looking at various small mining
projects, which could be managed within our human resource base and would
complement our existing portfolio of gold assets. Â We are targeting known
deposits of between 200,000 and 1,000,000 contained ounces of gold in these
areas. Â Additionally, with Burkina Faso recognised as a new gold producing
district with strong growth potential, we are evaluating options of exploiting
by-products produced by gold mines. Â We look forward to updating on these
developments in due course.
These are exciting times for Goldplat as we continue to bolster our position as
a gold producer in Africa. Â Gold production is continuing to perform strongly at
both our South African and Ghanaian recovery plants and we remain committed to
our vision of establishing ourselves within the junior mining arena in Africa.
 As a Board we are excited by our move into Burkina Faso and we are
fast-tracking exploration to develop a JORC compliant resource with a view to
production in the mid-term. Â Additionally, with commercial gold production
underway from existing stockpiles at Kilimapesa, we look forward to commencing
full gold production once the mining licence is secured and its contribution to
our bottom line for the next financial year.
Profitability and cash generation remain central to our growth strategy;
utilising revenues made from our recovery business to invest in junior mining
projects. Â While we remain active in our hunt for gold mining projects, we
recognise the overriding importance of bringing our two existing mining projects
into profitable production as soon as possible.
With these developments in mind, I believe Goldplat has the foundations in place
from which to deliver value to shareholders in 2011 and beyond. Â Finally, I
would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors, management and
our workforce for their dedication and support over the past year.

Operations Report
Gold Recovery Operations
Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Ltd ('GPR') - South Africa
Our South African gold recovery business, GPR, which is a mature business, is
performing strongly and in line with management expectations.
Gold production for the year totalled 17,263 oz Au, with 6,369 oz Au being
achieved in the first half of the year to six month ending 31 December 2009 and
10,894 oz Au in the second half of the financial year.
As we have reiterated in the past, GPR's business model relies on strong
relationships with the local mining houses in South Africa as we buy their
mining by-products to build our stockpiles from which to recover gold and in
turn provide them with an economic waste disposal solution which meets
environmental obligations.
In this vein, further progress has been made to secure new raw materials, and
ensure the long-term supply of gold bearing feedstock for processing. Â To date
we have 34,000 oz of raw material for processing currently held at our gold
recovery plant. Â We are continuously looking to increase our stockpiles of these
gold bearing raw materials, and as such keep a constant dialogue with the
surrounding gold mining houses. Â To this end we have finalised a further
contract with Simmer and Jack Mines Limited to purchase a total of 20,000 tonnes
of gold bearing raw material from its Buffelsfontein operation in South Africa.
During the course of 2009 and 2010, to improve gold recovery rates, we
implemented a number of new initiatives and new machinery to increase the
plant's capacity and economic capabilities. Â To this end, we have commissioned a
larger mill and increased its flotation capacity, and we also expanded the range
of materials being processed and the techniques used. Â Additionally post period
end we installed an intensive cyanidation plant to leach the gravity
concentrates and load gold onto carbon for elution which should provide cost
savings and improve the cash flow of the operation.
Gold Recovery Ghana ('GRG') - Ghana
GRG's gold recovery operations are strategically positioned in Ghana in the free
port of Tema, where the Company enjoys a 10 year tax break until 2015. Â In
addition to this, with it being located in Ghana, it is ideally located to
access many of the major gold mining houses operating within the neighbouring
countries in West Africa.
As with our South African recovery business, maintaining good relationships with
the gold mining houses in Ghana and neighbouring countries is important. Â Our
stockpiles of gold bearing raw materials purchased from the local mining
businesses, to date, totals 20,900 oz Au.
In this vein, post period review, we have identified and evaluated a number of
new surface stockpiles of gold bearing materials with suitable gold grades in
the Konongo area in Ghana and we are currently in negotiations to purchase
these.
In order to improve the economic efficiency and production capability of the
Ghanaian recovery plant we have purchased a few key pieces of machinery. Â A new
incinerator was commissioned during 2010 and has produced ash with grades
exceeding 600 g/t gold from relatively low grade material.
Initiatives, such as the establishment of a wash bay, are also in place to
increase the feed rate of raw materials to the existing gold plant to increase
gold production. Â This is expected to be implemented by November 2010.
 Furthermore, equipment required to establish a fire assay laboratory at Tema
has been received from South Africa and will be operational in by the end of
October 2010. Â This will greatly improve the control of the gold plant and allow
for faster evaluation and purchasing of tailings.
Gold Mining
Kilimapesa  - Kenya
Kilimapesa is situated in south-western Kenya within the historically producing
Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt. Â In September 2009 we completed the purchase of
the remaining 50% interest in Kilimapesa for US$2.7 million, from International
Gold Exploration AB ('IGE'), through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Gold
Mineral Resources Limited. Â We now own 100% of Kilimapesa, which includes the
operating gold mine and adjacent exploration assets located in the Lolgorien
area of South Western Kenya.
During the year we have been actively developing Kilimapesa with the view to
turning it into a small, high grade, formal mining operation. Â A strategic plan
for expanding the operations at the mine has been completed. Â It is the Board's
intention to increase gold production at the mine from the current capacity of
1,500 oz to an expected 5,000 oz of gold a year from 12 months after being
issued the Mining Lease.
On 22 July 2010, we received the conditional approval of the Mining Lease for
Kilimapesa from the Commissioner of Mines and Geology of Kenya. Â Following this,
on 23 August 2010 the Commissioner has given his permission for Kilimapesa
Gold's processing plant to commence commercial gold production, while we await
the finalisation of the Mining Lease.
The underground operations at Kilimapesa will be kept in abeyance until the
routine registration process of the cadastral survey submission with the
Director of Survey is completed. Â However work on recommissioning the processing
plant has already started and Goldplat's management expect that it will be at a
full processing capacity of 1,000 tonnes of ore per month by November 2010. Â The
existing stockpiles are expected to provide enough mill feed until full
underground operations resume.
Additionally Kenya's National Electricity Grid has now reached the mine, which
will reduce operating costs as Kilimapesa will no longer be dependent on diesel
generator power.
Kilimapesa - Exploration
In terms of exploration, in October last year we announced an initial
JORC-compliant resource at Kilimapesa. Â The underground gold resource estimate
totalled 1.65Mt at 2.44 g/t Au for 129,000 oz Au at a cut-off grade of 1 g/t Au
for all categories.
The Measured and Indicated resource totals 409,000t at 2.39 g/t Au for 31,416 oz
Au plus an additional 1.24Mt at 2.43 g/t for 98,000 oz Au within the Inferred
category. Â In addition, colonial tailings in the immediate vicinity of the plant
have a combined Measured and Indicated JORC compliant Resource of 41,000t at
2.56 g/t Au for 3,400 oz Au.
This initial Measured and Indicated resource is expected to provide the plant
with sufficient ore to run its Kilimapesa operations in-excess of eight years
taking into account its current capacity.
Resources by category at a cut-off value of 1 g/t Au are shown in the following
table:
+-------------------------+-------------------------------------+
| | Veins and Host |
| Resource Classification +-----------+----------+--------------+
| | Tonnes | Au Grade | Contained Au |
| | | (g/t) | Ounces |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Measured | 36,000 | 2.86 | 3,342 |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Indicated | 373,000 | 2.32 | 28,074 |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Total | 409,000 | 2.36 | 31,416 |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Â |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Inferred | 1,242,000 | 2.43 | 97,895 |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
| Total | 1,651,000 | 2.44 | 129,311 |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+
The determination of the resource classification is as follows:
* Measured - Resources estimated using a very restricted search ellipsoid size
of 10m in the principal direction
* Indicated - Resources estimated using a search ellipsoid of equivalent to
the second modelled variographic range of 90m in the principal direction
* Inferred - Resources estimated using a search ellipsoid twice the size of
the second modelled variographic range, 180m in the principal direction
including any resources estimated outside the modelled veins
The tailings derived from colonial operations in the mid-1900s. Â These tailings
have subsequently undergone auger drill sampling, in order for a JORC compliant
mineral resource to be calculated. Â The combined Measured, Indicated and
Inferred Resources totalled 51,600 tonnes at 2.52g/t Au, the majority of which
lie within 200m of the existing plant infrastructure. Â Initial gravity and
carbon-in-leach metallurgical test-work demonstrate recoveries in excess of
65%, and on the ore derived from the quartz vein ore bodies in excess of 85%.
Total resources by category are shown below:
+-------------------------+----------------------------------+
| | Colonial Tailings |
| Resource Classification +--------+----------+--------------+
| | Tonnes | Au Grade | Contained Au |
| | | (g/t) | Ounces |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Measured | 11,800 | 1.70 | 648 |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Indicated | 29,200 | 2.91 | 2,725 |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Total | 41,000 | 2.56 | 3,373 |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Â |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Inferred | 10,600 | 2.40 | 819 |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
| Total | 51,600 | 2.52 | 4,192 |
+-------------------------+--------+----------+--------------+
There will be a continued emphasis on expanding the exposure of the ore body by
underground development. Â In addition there are several other areas which
indicate potential gold mineralisation over which exploration will be done.
Burkina Faso
In December 2009, we entered into an agreement with Sanu to purchase its option
over the 246 sq km Nyieme Gold Project located in Burkina Faso. Â It is our
intention to define a JORC compliant resource and prove up the economic
viability of the Nyieme within this current year.
In 2007 Sanu conducted a 2,015m 26 hole reverse circulation drilling programme
of which best intersections included 3m @ 17.48 g/t Au, 1m @ 16.76 g/t Au, 1m @
4.46 g/t Au and 1m @17.83 g/t Au. Â A summary of the results are shown in Table
1.
In order to fast-track the development of Nyieme, during the period under review
we implemented an exploration and development plan based on the previous
exploration work completed by Sanu. Â We have drawn a phased exploration
programme which consists of a trenching programme over areas of geophysical and
soil sampling anomalies; and a 1,150m diamond drilling programme over the area
previously drilled by Sanu. Â We hope to have defined a maiden resource at Nyieme
once these results have been verified. Â After this we will undertake further
follow-up diamond drilling based on results from Phases 1 and 2 to further
define the economic potential of the project.
The trenching programme, over the geophysical and geochemical anomalies which
extend to the south along the same trend as the veins drilled in the Nyieme
prospect, commenced in May 2010. Â Heavy seasonal rains have halted progress
which will resume when the rains abate. Â To date 450m of trenching has been
completed.
The 1,150m diamond drilling programme over the area previously drilled by Sanu
will consist of 11 holes. Â The programme started on the 16 August 2010 and we
expect to have results in October 2010. Â To date logging of the completed
boreholes show that the vein is continuing at depth.
