KENTOR GOLD LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES ABN 52 082 658 080

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

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 2012.

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 John Taylor Non-Executive Director Simon Milroy Managing Director Hugh McKinnon 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 2012, Kentor Gold commenced gold mining and commissioning at the Murchison Gold Project in Western Australia and initiated the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project Feasibility Study following a positive scoping study, encompassing drilling and metallurgical test work. At the same time, the Company enjoyed multiple drilling successes at both Murchison and Jervois where drilling programs have added significant value to the Company’s Australian assets.

Murchison is the first of the Company’s current pipeline of three projects to be brought into production. During the half year, mining of ore was undertaken from the Reward pit and quantities of pre-existing high grade stockpile material was crushed ready for the commencement of milling early in July 2012. The upgraded CIL plant was completed and wet commissioning of the plant began. First gold was poured on 31 July 2012 followed by a more significant pour of 16.86kg on the 28[th] August 2012.

The project is scheduled to produce gold at the initial rate of 24,000 oz. a year from the CIL plant with studies currently underway into options to increase production.

During the half year, the Company completed a successful 20,000m drilling program at Murchison. As a result, the current Inferred Resource (15.1 million tonnes @ 1.5g/t gold for a total of 719,000 oz. gold at a 0.5g/t gold cut-off) is being updated and a revised mining schedule prepared.

High grade gold was intersected at the historic Alliance pit which is now likely to be added to the mine plan. Alliance is only 2km south of the Murchison processing plant and adjacent to the main haul road from the Lewis and Reward pits from which initial production is being sourced.

The potential to increase the Resource and to expand production was indicated strongly by the results of subsequent drilling at the Federal North and NOA 7 and 8 deposits, none of which is currently included in the mine plan.

High grade gold was also intersected by drilling at Gabanintha.

Work on updating the total Resource and revising mining plans at Murchison is under way and is expected to be completed in October 2012.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Review of Operations (continued)

At the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project, a scoping study found that it will be a robust project, supporting the Company’s confidence in Jervois as a future significant Australian multi-metals mine. The study found that the project would produce strong financial returns based on existing Resources, and that the returns would improve further when based on additional tonnages from the exploration potential that has been identified.

The study examined annual processing rates of 1.5Mtpa, 2Mtpa and 2.5Mtpa. It found that, at the 2.5Mtpa rate, Jervois will produce 181,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate, or approximately 26,000 tonnes a year for seven years, plus significant by-products of gold, silver and magnetite, and provide free cash flow of $388 million (assuming US$ = A$) on revenue of $1.985 billion.

The 2.5Mtpa case assumes tonnage from exploration potential additional to the existing Inferred Resource of 11.9 million tonnes @ 1.3% copper and 25.2 g/t silver for a total of 150,500 tonnes copper and 9.66 million oz silver. Exploration Potential[(1)] has been identified at Reward and Bellbird adjoining the current Resource is 5 – 10Mt @ 0.75 to 1.25% copper and 10 to 25 g/t silver at a 0.5% copper cut off (for 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes copper and 3 to 5 M oz. silver).

  • (1) The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Potential is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

The Company proceeded immediately to a full feasibility study which has been enhanced considerably by recent drill results. Exceptional near surface, high grade results confirm the open pit potential of the Reward Deposit at Jervois. Other high grade copper results 6km to the south at Bellbird point to the potentially large scale of the overall project.

The drilling results at Jervois include good gold grades, increasing the expectation that gold will be included for the first time in an increased Mineral Resource later this year.

The good results of the recent aggressive drilling program strengthen the potential of Jervois to become Kentor Gold’s largest project.

Progress towards the development of the Andash Gold-Copper Project in the Kyrgyz Republic was slow but positive during the half year.

In order to advance negotiations with the local community at Andash, the Kyrgyz Government presented to parliamentary committee meetings in April and May plans for an independent environmental review of the Andash project. A small minority group has used erroneous claims of environmental risk to raise anxiety in the local community about the proposed development.

The review, being conducted by the Russian environmental auditing partnership EMAS, is expected to be completed by the end of September. Kentor Gold is confident that reputable environmental auditors will endorse the Andash development plan, finding that the environmental impact will be minimal.

The Andash project is expected to produce an average of 70,000 oz gold and 7,400 tonnes copper a year for an initial six years. When local approval is obtained and site access gained, the Company will commence a three month geotechnical investigation program and then proceed with a 12 month construction program.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF‐YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012 DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Review of Operations (continued)

Andash has an estimated JORC Ore Reserve of 539,730 oz gold and 63,486 tonnes copper, and a Resource of 19.2 million tonnes @ 1.1 g/t gold and 0.4% copper for 679,023 oz gold and 77,300 tonnes copper.

Financial Position

For the half year ended 30 June 2012, the Kentor group recorded losses from continuing operations after taxation of $3,208,158 (2011: $933,549).

Foreign exchange gains $286,613 resulted from realised gains on US Dollar cash holdings held by Kentor.

Employee expenses increased in the half year to 30 June 2012 to $2,260,786 (2011: $860,919) due to the significant growth in the Australian operations to support Murchison Project and the Jervois feasibility study. To 30 June 2012 Employee expenses included the issue of share options to directors and key management personal of $236,765.

Property, plant and equipment has increased in 30 June 2012 to $59,209,298 (2011: $40,763,227) due to the investment in the Murchison refurbishment.

The Kentor Gold cash reserve as at 30 June 2012 was $9.3 million.

In August 2012 Kentor Gold raised $20.5m in equity through a combination of rights and equity placement. A further €4.5m will be raised in September 2012 through the successful disposal of the 6MW Ball Mill purchased for Andash and cancellation of the commitment for the second 6MW Ball Mill.

Notes to the financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2012

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 2011 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 2012. 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.

New accounting policies

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of raw materials and stores is determined on the weighted average cost basis.

Inventories of gold in circuit and ore stock piles are physically measured or estimated. Cost comprises of direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable production overheads.

Net realisable value is assessed annually based on the amount estimated to be obtained from sale of items of inventory in the normal course of business, less any anticipated costs to be incurred prior to its sale.

During the production phase, where the costs of extracting the ore exceed the likely recoverable amount, work in progress inventory is written down to net realisable value.

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 2011 financial statements, the following new judgments have been applied in the preparation of the 30 June 2012 half year financial report.

1. 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.

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.

In March 2012, a Parliamentary Committee directed the government to complete a review of the environmental aspect of the Andash project by the 10[th] April 2012.

At 31[st] December 2011 the Andash Exploration licence expired. All documents for the renewal of the licence have been filed. A current obligation under the Andash Mining licence is that production commences by June 2012. In October 2011 Andash Mining Company applied for a two year extension of the production commencement date to June 2014.

The government commission handling the exploration licence renewal and the application for the extension of the production commencement date under the current mining licence was disbanded in 2011. The Kyrgyz government established new regulations for the governing and issuance of licences in 2012 and a new commission was established under these new regulations and is working through the backlog of licence renewal applications.

On 18[th] April 2012 in a letter to the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Development, the Kyrgyz Government called for the Parliamentary Decree 8092-V dated 24[th] June 2011 to be amended to remove the requirement to revoke permits and cancel land use permits, while requiring that an independent international environmental review of the project be conducted.

On the 16[th] July 2012 a Russian independent environmental auditing partnership EMAS, commenced an environmental review of the impact of developing Andash copper-gold project. The process will take three months to complete. Subsequently, on the 22[nd] August 2012 the Kyrgyz government formed an InterDepartmental Commission that will work with EMAS to resolve the issue of expediency of development of the Andash copper-gold deposit.

With the establishment of the Inter-Departmental Commission, the appointment of international environmental experts and formation of the new commission to work through the licence renewal applications the directors are confident that progress will be made to further advance the Andash Gold project in the coming months.

The directors have considered a detailed risk assessment of the project’s likely development at the half year end, considering the developments in the last six months, and are confident that the project is still very likely to proceed. Therefore, no impairment losses have been recognised at 30[th] June 2012.

Notes to the financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2012

Note 8. Share based payments (continued)

The fair value of the options were determined using a binomial model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

Key inputs used in the calculation of the value of options issued during the half year ended 30 June 2012 are:

Spot price $1.25, $1.09, $0.80, $1.41 Grant date 1 February 2012, 16 February 2012, 28 May 2012, 1 March 2012 Expiry date 1 February 2017, 16 February 2017, 28 May 2017, 1 March 2017 Volatility 70% Risk free rate 3yr and 5yr rates of 2.42% and 2.62%

Expected volatility was determined based on historic volatility adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility based on publicly available information. All options granted during the half year, other than those granted on 28 May 2012, vested on grant date. The vesting dates of the options granted on 28 May 2012 were estimated to be 31 January 2013 and 31 January 2014. Three tranches of options were granted which had vesting conditions attached. Tranche 1 is dependent upon the Murchison project operating at design capacity and having produced 10,000 oz. gold. Tranche 2 and 3 are dependent upon the Andash and Jervois projects, respectively, obtaining all permits, approvals and financing for development of the project and construction having commenced.

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 2012, 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 disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity 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 internal 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 half-year 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 2012 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.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

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 review 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 2012 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.
