'Company')
Interim Results
Kodal Minerals Plc, the mineral development and exploration
company focused on its Bougouni Lithium Project ('Bougouni', the
'Bougouni Project' or the 'Project') in southern Mali, announces
its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September
2020.
Overview:
-- Mining Licence application proceeding through new Mali
Transitional Government with all technical and compliance
requirements completed by Kodal Minerals. Following grant of the
Mining Licence the Bougouni Lithium Project will be fully permitted
for development.
-- Memorandum of Understanding ('MoU') entered into with
Sinohydro Corporation Limited ('Sinohydro'), a specialist
engineering, infrastructure, power developer and construction
contractor, to work together to develop the Bougouni Lithium
Project. The focus of the MoU is for Sinohydro to review the
development proposed for the Project, review the financing
requirements and assist in sourcing finance for the Project and
finally to work with the Company to negotiate a mutually acceptable
EPC contract for the development of the Project.
-- Financing: The Company entered into two financing agreements
with Riverfort Global Opportunities PCC Limited and YA II PN Ltd.
An Equity Sharing agreement ('ESA') announced in April 2020 which
concluded on 7 September with Kodal Minerals receiving total
proceeds of GBP654,000 and reflecting a positive result for the
Company compared with the GBP500,000 subscription entered into at
the commencement of the ESA. The Company also notes that the ESA
was concluded in under six months. And secondly, an unsecured
Convertible Loan Note facility for US$1.5m drawn down in two
tranches of US$750,000 each in July and October 2020.
-- Company well-funded to continue Bougouni Lithium Project
development plan and gold exploration strategy with gold
exploration activity planned for Cote d'Ivoire to commence in
November 2020.
Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals, said: "The six months
ending 30 September have been a busy time for the Company in spite
of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, associated travel
restrictions and the political changes in Mali. Kodal has continued
to focus on its flagship Bougouni Lithium Project and the progress
of its Mining Licence application. Our communication with the
government authorities has continued and we have received
confirmation that our application is proceeding. As previously
announced, all technical and compliance requirements have been
completed by Kodal to the satisfaction of the officials and the
application is now proceeding through the official channels with
our expectation for it to be recommended for grant of a Mining
Licence.
"To continue the development of the Bougouni Lithium Project,
the Company has continued with the review of engineering and
processing requirements for the Project. Our MoU with Sinohydro is
a significant development as it provides a third party review of
the Bougouni Lithium Project and Sinohydro has a strong track
record of developing and working on engineering projects in Mali
and elsewhere in Africa. The experience of Sinohydro gives us great
confidence that we have teamed up with a group that will bring many
positive benefits to the Bougouni Project and help Kodal Minerals
to progress the design, financing and construction process
efficiently and cost effectively. I am pleased to report that
following the translation of all appropriate documentation,
Sinohydro has commenced the study of the proposed development plan
and has initiated a review of financing and potential partners for
us and we look forward to providing further updates in due
course.
"The Company has been able to secure funding to continue its
exploration and development programme, with the initial ESA
performing successfully for the Company, and the subsequent
Convertible Loan Note agreement providing further immediate funding
to support the Company's activities.
"The focus of the Company over the next six months will be on
working with the Government of Mali to secure the Mining Licence
for the Bougouni Lithium Project and continuing to advance the
development of the Project. In addition, the Company will continue
field work on its gold assets with work planned to commence in late
November in Cote d'Ivoire at the Dabakala project. The Company is
maintaining its suite of gold assets in Mali and Cote d'Ivoire, and
is continuing to assess opportunities to generate value from them
for the Company."
Chairman's Statement
The year of 2020 has been a challenging one for all with the
COVID-19 pandemic impact being felt world-wide. Further challenges
arose during this period with political unrest in Mali, resulting
in the removal of the Government and the establishment of a
Transition Government with a newly appointed President, Prime
Minister and Ministry. However, the recent announcements of
potential successful COVID-19 vaccine trials are a very welcome
development and augur well for a more stable and predictable 2021
to allow Kodal Minerals to continue its ambitious development plan
for the Bougouni Lithium Project. The Company will have a fully
permitted Bougouni Lithium Project following the grant of the
Mining Licence and we look forward to moving to the next stage of
project development.
In the 6-month period ended 30 September 2020, the Group has
recorded a loss of GBP255,000 compared to losses of GBP339,000 for
the 6 months to 30 September 2019 and GBP630,000 for the year to 31
March 2020.
Cash balances as at 30 September 2020 were GBP870,000 compared
to GBP315,000 at 30 September 2019 and GBP33,000 at 31 March 2020.
Cash as at 31 October 2020 was GBP1,316,000.
I am pleased to report that Kodal is in a strong position as it
is well funded, has confirmed security of tenure over its projects
and is continuing to attract strong interest in its flagship
Bougouni Lithium Project as well as its suite of gold assets that
are well located within the gold bearing Birimian sequence of West
Africa.
The Company is well supported by our major shareholder and
off-take partner, Suay Chin, and we continue to develop new
relationships that will improve our options for financing and
developing the Bougouni Lithium Project in the future. The MoU with
Sinohydro is progressing well and communication between the
technical teams is highlighting the fundamental value and potential
of the Project. The Company maintains its confidence in the future
of the lithium market and recognises the increasing support of
various governments to provide incentives to accelerate the move
towards the electric battery future. Kodal is well positioned to
take advantage of the expected increase in demand for battery
metals, with lithium being an irreplaceable part of this
future.

KODAL MINERALS PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
General information
Kodal Minerals plc is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in England & Wales. The Company's shares are publicly
traded on the AIM market of the London stock exchange. Kodal
Minerals Plc and its subsidiaries are involved in the exploration
and evaluation of mineral resources in West Africa.
Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020 were approved
by the board and authorised for issue on 20 November 2020.
The basis of preparation and accounting policies set out in the
Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 have
been applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated
interim financial statements. These interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the EU that are expected to be
applicable to the consolidated financial statements for the year
ending 31 March 2021 and on the basis of the accounting policies
expected to be used in those financial statements.
The figures for the six months ended 30 September 2020 and 30
September 2019 are unaudited and do not constitute full accounts.
The comparative figures for the year ended 31 March 2020 are taken
from the 2020 audited accounts, which are available on the Group's
website, and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and
do not constitute full accounts.
The Group has not earned revenue during the period to 30
September 2020 as it is still in the exploration and development
phases of its business. The operations of the Group are currently
being financed from funds which the Company has raised from the
issue of new shares.
The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the next 12
months. The forecast includes the costs of further refining the
feasibility study at the Bougouni Lithium Project, additional
targeted exploration of some of the company's gold assets, and the
ongoing overheads of the Group. The forecast shows that the Group
has sufficient cash resources available to allow it to continue as
a going concern and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a
period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these
interim results. Accordingly, the interims have been prepared on a
going concern basis.

3. LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the
period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
period.
The following reflects the loss and share data used in the basic
EPS computations:

Year ended 31 March 2020 (629,504) 8,786,936,058 0.0072
Diluted loss per Share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary Shares outstanding during the
period plus the weighted average number of ordinary Shares that
would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential
ordinary shares into ordinary Shares. Options in issue are not
considered diluting to the earnings per Share as the Group is
currently loss making. Diluted loss per Share is therefore the same as the basic loss per Share.
4. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

including key management personnel, as part of their
remuneration.
