US$2.9 million since the end of 2018.
-- AISC for the quarter of US$1,021 per ounce with a Cash Cost of US$796 per
ounce.
-- Operational cash flow for the period of US$6.5 million (US$5.7 million
after mine development costs), compared with US$3.1 million (US$2.1
million after mine development costs) for the same period in 2018.
OPERATIONAL and DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
-- First quarter gold production of 10,164 ounces of gold, maintaining the
momentum from the end of 2018.
-- Second successive quarter of production above 10,000 ounces for the first
time.
-- Mine tonnage totalled 42,609 tonnes at 7.47 grams per tonne ("g/t") of
gold.
-- 43,451 tonnes of run of mine ("ROM") ore were processed through the plant
from the combined Palito and Sao Chico orebodies, with an average grade
of 7.69 g/t of gold.
-- 1,868 metres of horizontal development completed during the quarter.
-- Completion and announcement of the Company's updated mineral resource
estimate for its Coringa gold project ("Coringa"):
-- the new mineral resource estimate represents a 37% increase over
the previously disclosed estimation (as of May 3, 2017).
-- an Indicated Resource for Coringa of 216,000 ounces of contained
gold (845,000 tonnes at an average in-situ grade of 7.95 g/t).
-- an additional Inferred Resource of 298,000 ounces of contained
gold (1,436,000 tonnes at an average in-situ grade of 6.46 g/t).
-- Production guidance for 2019 is maintained in the range of 40,000-44,000
ounces representing a significant improvement on 2018 production of
37,108 ounces.
Mike Hodgson, CEO of Serabi commented:
"The last two quarters have been excellent from an operational
perspective and represent the first occasion that the Company's
operations have achieved two successive quarters with gold production in
excess of 10,000 ounces. These financials results reflect the
operational improvements that we have enjoyed with revenue, profit and
cash generation all having significantly improved over the same quarter
in 2018.
"Most pleasing, however, is to see a reduction in the unit costs of
production, with a reported AISC of US$1,021 compared with US$1,166 for
the same quarter in 2018 and an average AISC for the 2018 calendar year
of US$1,093. Given the nature of the operations, Serabi has a fairly
fixed level of monthly costs, in the form of labour, power and
consumable costs. With the mine and plant producing and processing
broadly consistent tonnages of ore, the key to profitability is
maximising the grade of the ore mined and processed. Whilst the
improvements in the last 6 months to the processed grade have been
relatively small, the benefits have been quite significant.
"The financial results for the first quarter have benefitted from the
high level of gold inventory held at the end of 2018 and which was sold
during the quarter. A total of 12,309 ounces were sold during the
period compared with production of 10,164 ounces and with inventory
levels now back to more normal levels we would expect sales and
production volumes to more closely track each other over the rest of the
year.
"Net cash generated in the period was slightly less than US$3.0 million
after taking account of mine development, exploration and other capital
expenditure but again has been helped by the delayed sales carried over
from the end of 2018. Provided the Company can maintain the current
levels of production, I am confident that we can maintain a good cash
flow for the rest of the year. The Company's cash holdings as at 31
March 2019 were US$12.2 million.
"We are being helped by a strong gold price when looked at in Brazilian
Reais, and with so much of our cost base incurred in Brazil this is the
true indicator of our margin and profitability. Following the election
of Jair Bolsonaro as president in November 2018, many, myself included,
saw the potential for the Real to strengthen as he pursued public
spending reforms and implemented business friendly policies to promote
growth. To date however the exchange rate has remained in the range of
BrR$3.80 to US$1.00 and the gold price in Brazilian Reais has averaged
BrR$4,850 for the quarter compared with BrR$4,264 for the same period in
2018 and BrR$4,600 for the 2018 calendar year."

with every 20 existing shares being consolidated into one new share. The
total number of existing ordinary shares in issue immediately prior to
the capital reorganisation was 1,175,281,440. The total number of
ordinary shares in issue following the capital reorganisation was
58,764,072. For comparative purpose the weighted average ordinary
shares in issue and the diluted ordinary shares in issue for the three
month period ended 31 March 2018, has been adjusted to reflect the share
consolidation of 20 existing shares into one new share.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are for the
three month period ended 31 March 2019. Comparative information has been
provided for the unaudited three month period ended 31 March 2018 and,
where applicable, the audited twelve month period from 1 January 2018 to
31 December 2018. These condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all the disclosures that would otherwise be required in a
complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with the 2018 annual report.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods have
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34
"Interim Financial Reporting" and the accounting policies are consistent
with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2018 and those envisaged for the financial statements for the
year ending 31 December 2019.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2019
The Group has not adopted any standards or interpretations in advance of
the required implementation dates.
As of 1 January 2019, IFRS "16 Leases", became effective and requires
lessees to recognise all lease assets and liabilities on the balance
sheet for both finance leases and operating leases. The adoption of IFRS
16 has not had any significant impact on the Group's financial
statements as the operating leases held by the Group are of low value
and the majority of the existing contracts either relate to service
agreements or otherwise do not result in right of use assets or lease
liabilities.
These financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as
defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
1. Going concern
As at 31 March 2019 the Group had cash in hand of US$12.1 million and
net assets of US$70.2 million. The Directors have reviewed the forecast
cash flow of the Group for the next 12 months. Based on this forecast,
which includes planned capital and exploration programmes, the Group may
not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to settle, in full, the
deferred consideration of US$12 million payable for the acquisition of
Coringa which falls due in December 2019.
The Directors believe there is a reasonable prospect of the Group
securing further funds as and when required in order that the Group can
meet all liabilities including the deferred consideration payable for
the acquisition of Coringa as and when they fall due in the next 12
months and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern
basis.
As at the date of this report the outcome of raising further funds
remains uncertain and this represents a material uncertainty surrounding
going concern. If the Group fails to raise the necessary funds the Group
may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the
normal course of business. The matters explained indicate that a
material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group
and Parent's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial
statements do not show the adjustments to the assets and liabilities of
the Group or the Parent company if this was to occur.
(ii) Use of estimates and judgements
There have been no material revisions to the nature and amount of
changes in estimates of amounts reported in the 2018 annual financial
statements.
(iii) Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of
its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered
impairment. Prior to carrying out of impairment reviews, the significant
cash generating units are assessed to determine whether they should be
reviewed under the requirements of IFRS 6 - Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources or IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets. Such
determination is by reference to the stage of development of the project
and the level of reliability and surety of information used in
calculating value in use or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment
reviews performed under IFRS 6 are carried out on a project by project
basis, with each project representing a potential single cash generating
unit. An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment
arise; typically when one of the following circumstances applies:
(i) sufficient data exists that render the resource
uneconomic and unlikely to be developed
(ii) title to the asset is compromised
(iii) budgeted or planned expenditure is not expected in the
foreseeable future
(iv) insufficient discovery of commercially viable resources
leading to the discontinuation of activities
Impairment reviews performed under IAS 36 are carried out when there is
an indication that the carrying value may be impaired. Such key
indicators (though not exhaustive) to the industry include:
(i) a significant deterioration in the spot price of gold
(ii) a significant increase in production costs
(iii) a significant revision to, and reduction in, the life of
mine plan
If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. Such impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss for the
year.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate
of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating
unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss for the year.
