KENTOR GOLD LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES ABN 52 082 658 080

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The directors of Kentor Gold Limited submit herewith the financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of Kentor Gold Limited and the entities it controlled for the halfyear ended 30 June 2011.

Directors

Kentor Gold directors during the half-year and up to the date of this report were:

Director Position Held
John Barr Non-Executive Chairman
Andrew Daley Non-Executive Director
Simon Milroy Managing Director
Hugh McKinnon Executive Director
John Taylor Non-Executive Director

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the consolidated entity during the period was exploration and development of gold and base metals projects in the Kyrgyz Republic and Australia.

Review of Operations

In the six months ended 30 June 2011, Kentor Gold acquired three advanced gold, copper and silver projects in Australia with the expectation of commencing gold production in mid-2012, while the Andash Gold-Copper Project in the Kyrgyz Republic awaited local approval for site access.

At Andash, in the Kyrgyz Republic, the pre-construction phase of the gold-copper project was well advanced during the half year and is currently waiting on finalisation of geotechnical investigations for the design of building foundations and the tailings dam.

Andash is planned to produce at a rate of 70,000 oz gold and 7,400 tonnes copper a year over an initial six-year mine life, with high potential opportunities to expand and extend the operation.

At a total cost of US$29/oz, Andash will be one of the world’s lowest cost gold mines. The project is scheduled for commissioning approximately 12 months after completion of geotechnical investigations, which will be completed as soon as access is gained to the site. To achieve this, the Company is seeking to overcome some minority local opposition based largely on misinformation about the project’s environmental impact.

The agreed, off-market takeover of Jinka Minerals Limited provided Kentor Gold with a significant diversification and expansion into Australia. The Jinka assets comprise the Burnakura Gold Project and the Gabanintha Gold-Copper Project, both former gold mines in Western Australia, and the Jervois Multi-Commodity Project in the Northern Territory.

Within two months of concluding the acquisition in May 2011, Kentor Gold had established substantial Inferred Resources of gold, copper and silver – 516,000 oz gold at Burnakura, 203,000 oz gold at Gabanintha, and 113,000 t copper and 7.6Moz silver at Jervois.

At Burnakura, a feasibility study was commenced with the aim of bringing the operation back into production in June 2012. The CIP processing plant can be recommissioned and expanded to include ore from the Gabanintha gold-copper project which is 25km east of Burnakura. Additional plant and equipment was acquired from the Indee Gold Mine and will be moved to Burnakura to facilitate the fast and cost effective re-start at an expanded capacity. A throughput of 250,000 tpa is being targeted as stage one of the expansion. Drilling programs were planned for both Burnakura and Gabanintha to upgrade and expand the Resources.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Review of Operations (continued)

Jervois has the potential to be a significant mining operation. The resource at Jervois extends over four bodies of mineralisation over a 12km strike. Upon acquisition, Kentor Gold initiated a Resource estimation and an exploration drilling program. The initial copper-silver Resource was limited to a depth of 200 metres. However, the first results of the recent drilling confirm that high grade copper mineralisation is present at least 150 metres below the 200-metre base of the current Resource. An updated Resource estimate will be prepared as soon as the full program of drilling is completed and the assay results are known.

Kentor Gold also initiated a pre-feasibility study into an open pit mine that would feed a flotation plant to produce a copper concentrate.

Financial Position

For the half year ended 30 June 2011, the Kentor group recorded losses from continuing operations after taxation of $933,549.

Kentor Gold accepted an offer of US$50M in debt finance from Macquarie Bank Limited. This followed a successful $73.1M equity raising in the previous year.

Consideration paid for acquiring Jinka Minerals, excluding acquisition costs and statutory charges, was $12.8M, comprising $7.8M in cash payment to equity holders and $4.95M in loan repayments.

The Kentor Gold cash reserve as at 30 June 2011 was $43.7M. Notwithstanding the expenditures during the half year on acquiring and advancing the Australian assets and on the Andash project, the Company retained the capacity to fund the current anticipated development cost of the Andash project from the proceeds of the equity raising and the undrawn debt facility.

Auditor's Independence Declaration

A copy of the independence declaration by the lead auditor under section 307C is included on page 4 to this director’s report.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors and is signed for and on behalf of the directors by

KENTOR GOLD LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES ABN 52 082 658 080

Notes to the financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2011

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

Kentor Gold Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2010 and any public announcements made by Kentor Gold Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations has resulted in no changes to the Group’s financial results.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Prior period correction

At 30 June 2010, administration expenses of $435,961 and depreciation expenses of $163,984 relating to the Andash Mining Project in the Kyrgyz Republic were expensed, but were subsequently capitalised into mine development for the year ended 31 December 2010. Comparative financial information in this half year report has been adjusted accordingly, the net effect reducing the comprehensive income for the half year ended 30 June 2010 by $599,645 and increasing non-current assets at 30 June 2010 by $599,645.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events.

In addition to the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions disclosed in the 31 December 2010 financial statements, the following new judgments have been applied in the preparation of the 30 June 2011 half year financial report.

1. Accounting for the acquisition of Jinka Minerals

AASB 3 Business Combinations identifies a ‘business’ as consisting of both inputs and processes, capable of creating outputs.

Through the Jinka Minerals acquisition, the Company acquired the rights to intangible assets (reserves and resources) as well as the physical assets of a former operating mine (currently on care and maintenance) which meet the definition of ‘inputs’.

However, there were no existing ‘processes’ which were purchased with the assets (e.g. operating systems, employees, OH&S systems, etc), as the former operating assets were on care and maintenance (Burnakura project) or were undeveloped exploration projects (Jervois and Gabanintha projects).

Therefore the directors have assessed that the acquisition of Jinka Minerals is not a business combination as defined, and is in fact an asset purchase. The consideration paid and the associated acquisition costs have been capitalised and allocated to the class of assets acquired, which are included in the financial statements in their respective categories at cost.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)

2. Continued recognition of non-controlling interest in relation to Andash Mining Corporation

In October 2010 the Talas Inter-district court ruled that Aurum Mining Plc and Invest-centre Talas LLC’s (ICT) ownership in Andash Mining Company LLC (AMC) were invalid due their failure to comply with the Strategic Objects legislation in the Kyrgyz Republic. On 19 January 2011, a subsequent appeal to the Talas Oblast Court by both parties was dismissed. In compliance with the court decision AMC was re-registered with Kaldora Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Group, as the sole participant, and an offer made to the Kyrgyz Government for their purchase of 20% of AMC. Before the transfer to the Kyrgyz Government could be effected, a further appeal to the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic was lodged on the 25 February 2011.

On the 22 April 2011, the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic sent the case to the Chu Inter-District Court, a court of first instance, for re-hearing. The Chu Inter-District Court upheld the original ruling of the Talas Inter-District Court. Subsequent to the ruling, Tryden International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurum Mining plc, lodged another appeal. This appeal was heard in the Chu Oblast Court on the 24 August 2011. The company is waiting on the written ruling to be handed down by the Chu Inter-District Court.

As a result of these on-going court hearings, the Group has continued to recognise a non-controlling interest of 20% of AMC’s comprehensive income for the year and net assets, as the Group does not have the right to exercise control over the 20% which has been re-registered with Kaldora Company Limited and subsequently offered to the Kyrgyz Government.

3. Consideration of asset impairment for Andash mining project

On 4 February 2011, Kentor was advised that the Kyrgyz Government was to establish a Commission of Enquiry for the Andash mining project, with a view to expediting the approval process. Kentor agreed to suspend on-site activities whilst this review is undertaken. The Commission was due to deliver its final report to the Standing Committee on Energy and Minerals on 21 June 2011. The Standing Committee adopted a resolution to be put to the plenary session of parliament which recommended that the Andash deposit not be developed until an understanding was reached between the local population and Andash Mining Company LLC.

On 24 June 2011, the last day of parliament before the break for the northern summer, a private member put a motion to the house recommending to Government that the licences and rights of Andash Mining Company LLC be cancelled. The motion was adopted in controversial circumstances. The Kyrgyz Government is currently considering how to respond to the Parliamentary resolution.

On 28 June 2011, the Minister for Natural Resources issued a letter that Andash Mining Company LLC’s licences are, and remain, in good standing.

The directors have considered a detailed risk assessment of the project’s likely development at the half year, considering the developments in the last six months, and are confident that the project is still highly likely to proceed. Therefore, no impairment losses have been recognised at 30 June 2011.

4. Application of cash flow hedge accounting to the development project for Andash Mining Corporation

In light of the directors’ belief that the development of the Andash mining project is still a highly probable outcome, the Group has continued to apply hedge accounting to effective cash flow hedges at the half year, recognising the unrealised net gain/loss on the hedges outstanding at reporting date through the hedge reserve in equity.

Note 2. Segment Information

Operating segments have been determined based on reports reviewed by the chief operating decision makers being the executive directors. This has resulted in the recognition of the following reportable segments:

Capital Commitments

(a) In 2010, Kaldora Company committed to purchase two 6MW Ball Mills from Outotec Pty Limited for €4,656,790 and €4,613,210 respectively. Mr John Taylor, a non-executive Director of Kentor was the Managing Director of Outotec (Australasia) Pty Ltd. This transaction occurred based on normal commercial terms.

The first ball mill was fully paid for during the period. At 30 June 2011, the commitment remains for the secondary mill of €4,613,210 to be paid in full by October 2012.

(b) During 2010, Kaldora Company Limited signed an 18-month exclusive option agreement with Turan Metals LLC in regards to the Aktash Project in the Kyrgyz Republic. The option payments were US$200,000 for the first year (paid in full in 2010) and US$200,000 for the remaining period payable in October 2011.

In the current period, the Company announced that the second option would be allowed to lapse, and the amounts paid to date were refunded shortly after reporting date.

(c) During 2010, AMEC Minproc was engaged to provide engineering services for the Andash coppergold project. A total of US$11,162,165 had been budgeted, with the remaining commitment at 31 December 2010 payable of US$7,029,622. This work has been fully completed in the current reporting period.

(d) During the period, the Company acquired interests in various mining and exploration tenements in WA and NT as part of the Jinka Minerals Limited acquisition. There are capital commitments on these tenements ranging from $4,360 to $100,000 per annum with expiry terms of between 1 to 19 years.

Note 8. Commitments (cont’d)

Operating lease commitments

(e) Operating lease commitments comprise leases over a rail siding storage facility and office space in the Kyrgyz Republic and the corporate office operating lease rental in Brisbane Australia. The annual rental commitments on these leases range from $13,686 to $194,808 per annum with expiry terms of between 1 month to 6 years.

(f) During the period, the Company acquired interests in various exploration tenements in WA and NT as part of the Jinka Minerals Limited acquisition. There are annual rental commitments on these tenements ranging from $44 to $15,000 per annum with expiry terms of between 1 to 19 years.

Note 9. Contingent liabilities and assets

(a) In October 2010 the Talas Inter-district court ruled that Aurum Mining Plc and Invest-centre Talas LLC’s (ICT) ownership in Andash Mining Company LLC (AMC) were invalid due their a failure to comply with the Strategic Objects legislation in the Kyrgyz Republic. On 19 January 2011, a subsequent appeal to the Talas Oblast Court by both parties was dismissed. In compliance with the court decision Andash Mining Company LLC was re-registered with Kaldora Company Limited as the sole participant, and an offer made to Government for their purchase of 20% of Andash Mining Company LLC. Before the transfer to Government could be effected, a further appeal to the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic was lodged on the 25 February 2011.

On the 22 April 2011, the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic sent the case to the Chu Inter-District Court, a court of first instance, for re-hearing. The Chu Inter-District Court upheld the original ruling of the Talas Inter-District Court. Subsequent to the ruling, Tryden International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurum Mining plc, lodged another appeal. This appeal was heard in the Chu Oblast Court on the 24 August 2011. The company is waiting on the written ruling to be handed down by the Chu Inter-District Court.

Kentor owns the remaining 80% of AMC through its subsidiary Kaldora Company Limited, and remains unaffected by this claim. Kentor complied fully with the requirements of the strategic objects legislation and Kentor is firmly of the belief that the action does not affect Kentor’s holding in the project.

(b) On the 24 December 2010, the Company was advised that a Statement of Claim (the Claim) has been lodged against Kentor Gold Limited and its subsidiary Kaldora Company Limited. The Claim has been issued by ICT, which recently had its non-controlling interest in Andash Mining Company LLC declared invalid by the Talas Inter-district court. The Claim requests that the Kaldora company, which hold Kentor’s 80 % interest in the Andash Mining Company LLC (AMC), be excluded from AMC on the basis that Kaldora inflicted a material damage to the other members of AMC. The hearing date was set for April 2011, however ICT twice failed to appear at scheduled hearings and the case was dismissed.

(c) On the 27 April 2011, the Company obtained control of Jinka Minerals Limited through an agreed offmarket takeover offer. Attached to the sale of the Burnakura mining tenements owned by Jinka Minerals Limited, is a royalty agreement with Royal Gold, Inc. The Group is contractually obliged to pay Royal Gold, Inc a royalty based on potential future extractions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTOR GOLD LIMITED

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Kentor Gold Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the halfyear.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Kentor Gold Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Kentor Gold Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Kentor Gold Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the disclosure in Note 1 to the financial statements regarding “Consideration of asset impairment for Andash mining project”. The matters raised in this note are of such importance that they are fundamental to the users’ understanding of the financial report. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
