Interim Results for the six months ended 31 December 2021
Kazera Global plc ("Kazera Global", "Kazera" or "the Company"),
the AIM quoted investment company, is pleased to announce its
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2021
("the Period").
Highlights:
Management
-- Dennis Edmonds was appointed sole CEO in October 2021
Operational
-- 3-year tantalum contract secured, through to 31 December 2024
with Jiujiang Jinxin Nonferrous Metals Co Ltd at Tantalite Valley,
Namibia
-- High quality "chemical grade" Lithium and Feldspar samples
were taken from the Tantalite Valley Mine
-- Extensive work was undertaken on the processing plant at
Tantalite Valley progressing towards production capability
-- Acquired 60% of Whale Head Minerals which is applying for a
Mining Permit over Heavy Mineral Sands with an NPV of GBP150
million
-- Established a new loan facility to facilitate the Company to
draw down up to GBP250,000 over the 6 months
-- Diamond production exceeded 1,000 carats during the December/January production cycle
Post Period
-- Diamond production has continued to be consistently maintained
-- Plan to be significantly cash flow positive during 2022 with
the intention to reinvest the proceeds into resource definition and
mining, particularly at Tantalite Valley
-- The processing plant at Tantalite Valley in Namibia is now
nearing completion offering a substantial contribution to cash
flow.
Outlook
-- The granting of the Heavy Mineral Sands Permit will
substantially increase the Company's asset base as well as
cashflow.
-- The Company is looking to continue to maximise production
from its current assets as well as evaluating potential M&A
opportunities.
-- Kazera will also continue to invest in the business where
needed and focus on maximising growth for shareholders
Dennis Edmonds, CEO of Kazera Global, said:
"Kazera continues to make positive progress across its
operations and has weathered the effects of Covid on the industry
well. As soon as cash is being generated by both diamonds and
Tantalum the Company will be self-sustaining and any future cash
will only be required if it is decided to accelerate growth or to
fund an acquisition.
The Board remain focused on increasing shareholder value and
delivering strong growth from both organic and inorganic
opportunities that arise."

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM ACCOUNTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements included in the interim accounts have
been prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The comparative figures for the six months ended 31 December 2020
are also included in these interim accounts under the historical
cost convention.
The principal accounting policies used in preparing these
interim accounts are those expected to apply in the Company's
Financial Statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 and are
unchanged from those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report for
the year ended 30 June 2021.
The interim accounts were approved by the Board of Kazera Global
plc on 31 March 2022. The interim financial information for the six
months ended 31 December 2021 does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006 and is unaudited. The comparatives for the year ended 30 June
2021 are not the Company's full statutory accounts for that period.
A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered
to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those
accounts was unqualified, and did not contain statements under
sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. Copies of the
accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 are available on the
Company's website (https://kazeraglobal.com/).
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are:
Basis of preparation
The comparative figures for the six months ended 31 December
2021 have been presented on the same basis as the interim accounts
for the six months ended 31 December 2020.
Going concern
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going
concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, at the time of
approving the interim financial statements, there is a reasonable
expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. The interim financial statements do not
include any adjustments that would result from the going concern
basis of preparation being inappropriate.
Sales of Tantalite
The interim accounts have been prepared on the basis that the
Group is not deemed to be in commercial production; therefore, the
proceeds of sales of Tantalite have been set off against the
development costs associated with the Tantalite mine site.
3. Share based payment expense
On 21 December 2018, 10,000,000 options were granted to L.
Johnson, vesting on 21 December 2021 at an exercisable at 1.75p per
share.
On 23 March 2020, a total of 66,666,667 share warrants were
issued to G Clarke (50,000,000), N Harrison (8,333,333) and R
Jennings (8,333,333) at an exercise price of 0.3p per share. On 13
October 2021, the Company issued 16,666,666 ordinary shares to
satisfy the exercise of warrants at 0.3 pence per share.
On 4 June 2020, a total of 26,500,000 share options were issued
to G Clarke (5,000,000), N Harrison (5,000,000), L Johnson
(5,000,000), D Edmonds (10,000,000) and B James (1,500,000) at an
exercise price of 1p per share.
