Notes to the financial statements

   1       Loss per share 

The loss per share is calculated by reference to the loss of USD16, 066,657 for the six months ended 30 June 2013 and the weighted average number of shares in issue of 250,477,868 during the period. There is no dilutive effect of share options.

   2       Basis of preparation of financial statements 

The unaudited results have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the basis of the accounting policies adopted in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012. The results for the period are derived from continuing activities.

The financial information set out in this half-yearly report does not constitute statutory accounts. The figures for the period ended 31 December 2012 have been extracted from the statutory financial statements, prepared under IFRS, which are available on the Group's website www.chaarat.com. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified.

   3       Intangible assets - acquired mining exploration assets 

Mining exploration assets acquired on the acquisition of subsidiaries are carried in the balance sheet at their fair value at the date of acquisition less any impairment losses, pending determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of those projects.

When such a project is deemed to no longer have technical or commercially viable prospects to the Group, acquired mining exploration costs in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired and written off to the statement of total comprehensive income.

Subsequent mining exploration costs incurred on those projects are expensed in accordance with the Group's accounting policy below.

   4       Mining exploration and development costs 

During the exploration phase of operations, all costs are expensed in the Income Statement as incurred.

A subsequent decision to develop a mine property within an area of interest is based on the exploration results, an assessment of the commercial viability of the property, the availability of financing and the existence of markets for the product. Once the decision to proceed to development is made, exploration, development and other expenditures relating to the project are capitalised and carried at cost with the intention that these will be depreciated by charges against earnings from future mining operations over the relevant life of mine on a units of production basis.

Expenditure is only capitalised provided it meets the following recognition requirements:

-- completion of the project is technically feasible and the Company has the ability to and intends to complete it;

   --      the project is expected to generate future economic benefits; 
   --      there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the project; and 
   --      the expenditure attributable to the development can be measured reliably. 

No depreciation is charged against the property until commercial production commences. After a mine property has been brought into commercial production, costs of any additional work on that property are expensed as incurred, except for large development programmes, which will be deferred and depreciated over the remaining life of the related assets.

The carrying values of exploration and development expenditures in respect of each area of interest which has not yet reached commercial production are periodically assessed by management and where it is determined that such expenditures cannot be recovered through successful development of the area of interest, or by sale, the expenditures are written off to the income statement.
