During the first quarter:
- The Company generated no revenues and incurred a net loss of
EUR537,664 or EUR0.03 per share. This compared with a net loss of
EUR4,630,273 or EUR0.27 per share in the fourth quarter of 2013
which included an impairment charge against the Hitura mineral
property.
- Cash decreased to EUR150,975 from EUR239,193 as a result of
negative cash flows generated from operations and exploration and
development expenditure.
- General and administrative expenses decreased to EUR199,455
(2013: EUR230,513) substantially as a consequence of cost cutting
measures implemented following the cessation of mining
operations.
- Other expense was EUR41,775 (2013: EUR227,130) due mainly to
foreign exchange and lower interest and bank charges.
OUTLOOK
During the suspension period referred to in the section above,
the company continues to monitor nickel markets, but prices would
need to show a sustained increase and the results of the open-pit
flotation tests would need to be received before any restart of
nickel operations (from the open pit) could be considered.
Any restart of underground operations would require substantial
capital investment to put in place new underground development and
would require at least 12 months lead time before production could
recommence.
In the meantime, following the positive results of the PEA, work
continues on permitting and completing the Final Feasibility study
for the Kopsa gold copper project. The Company will require
additional financing through debt or equity issuances, or other
available means in order to initiate and complete the Feasibility
Study on the Kopsa gold property and for general working capital
purposes

the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in
