9 Month Interim Statement at 31 December 2006
Result for the period
During the period under review, the Group returned a loss of £685,805 as
compared with a loss of £865,249 in the eighteen-month period to 31 March 2006.
As at 31 December 2006 the Company had a cash balance of approximately £750,704.
Market Update
The Company announced on 20 December that it had signed a conditional Sale of
Shares Agreement with Metorex Limited to purchase 74% of Barberton Mines Limited
in South Africa. The proposed transaction is intended to provide the Company
with a strong production base to further pursue its exploration and development
strategy.
This transaction is near conclusion and the Group's advisers are awaiting
certain regulatory approvals prior to release of an Admission Document and the
convening of an EGM for shareholders to consider and if thought appropriate,
approve the transaction.
On publication of the Admission Document the shares will recommence trading,
which hopefully will arise as soon as the regulatory approvals are received.
As Barberton prepares accounts to 30 June, the Group will report its next full
result to 30 June 2007. Accordingly, nine month interims have been prepared.
In order to continue to incentivise the current continuing Directors and Pangea
Exploration, options over their 20,700,000 ordinary shares of 1p each
exerciseable at 4p per share have been extended for a further three years,
conditional upon approval of the transaction referred to above. Formal details
will be included in the Admission Document.
Your Board thanks the shareholders for their patience during the period since 20
December while the transaction has been processed, but trust that the enhanced
value of the enlarged group once completed will make the delay worthwhile.
