Herencia Resources plc
("Herencia" or the "Company")
HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT
For the six months ended 30 June 2016
Herencia Resources plc is pleased to announce the unaudited half-yearly accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to advise that following the period under review, on 28 July 2016, the Company announced the execution of a formal purchase agreement with Golden Rim Resources Limited ("GMR") for the sale of its 70% ownership in the Paguanta zinc, silver and lead Project in northern Chile. The total consideration was US$1.5 million in cash and US$880k in GMR equity, and GMR agreeing to pay up to US$2.1 million (approximately £1.5 million) towards various contingent liabilities. As announced on 16 September 2016, the Company has used these funds to repay the majority of its creditors which places substantial constraints on the Company's current working capital position, however the Company is in funding discussions with interested parties and remains open to explore other funding options.
Other activities during the period include:
-
The approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 June 2016 to subdivide each Ordinary Share into 1 ordinary share of 0.01p and a deferred share of 0.09p.This will allow the issue of shares as a source of funding which has otherwise been unavailable since the last equity raise in September 2015;
-
Securing funding arrangements by way of Secured Convertible Facilities totalling US$750,000 with two of our major shareholders, the Australian Special Opportunity Fund ("Lind Partners") and Oriental Darius Co. Ltd ("Oriental"). The shareholders have been very supportive and a total of US$350,000 has been drawn down under this facility to date with a further US$400,000 that can be advanced at the discretion of the Shareholders;
-
Undergoing a process of restructure including the Board to re-establish Herencia as a viable junior exploration and development company; and
-
Continue to actively pursue opportunities for the Picachos Project.
Finally, I would like thank my fellow directors and our small and dedicated team in Chile for their efforts in securing the successful sale of the Paguanta Project and also to our shareholders for their continued support.
