('GEO' or the 'Company')
Interim Results
Georgian Mining Corporation is pleased to provide its interim
results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018.
UPDATE ON PERMIT APPLICATION
Mike Struthers, Chief Executive Officer said:
"Regarding the Company's permit application. As noted in our
news release of 25(th) September 2018, I had a positive meeting
with the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mr.
Kobulia on Friday 21(st) September 2018 regarding the Company's
application to extend our exploration permits. Following the
meeting the Minister provided the below comment which reinforced
our belief that this issue will get resolved very soon."
Mr. George Kobulia , Georgian Minister of Economy and
Sustainable Development said:
"I appreciate the effort that Georgian Mining are putting into
their projects in Georgia. The Government has ambitious plans to
expand our mineral resource extraction activities in the country,
and we welcome companies who are very focussed on results and
delivery. I hope we can respond positively on the company's
application in the very near future."
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
While the period under review has been frustrating for our
shareholders, the directors and all stakeholders of Georgian
Mining, as we continue to wait for final Ministerial approval of
our permitting application, the new Government appointments have
now been made and we are confident the Government Resolution on our
permits will be approved, and we will be able to press ahead with
our 2018 drilling programme.
After a productive drilling campaign at our most advanced
project Kvemo Bolnisi East ("KBE") in 2017, we completed our
vesting of $6.0M into the Joint Venture in September 2017, with the
result that all future expenditure is on a 50:50 basis between the
partners. However, at that point our Joint Venture Partner
requested certain revisions to the original Shareholders Agreement
which were successfully concluded in March 2018 with the
announcement of three key achievements; (i) a modified Shareholders
Agreement; (ii) an agreed 2018 work programme; and (iii) a
Memorandum of Understanding on Production (of gold oxides) from
KBE. As a result of these changes each shareholder now has equal
board representation and therefore, as of 1 March 2018, the JV
Company is no longer consolidated for group accounting
purposes.
The Joint Venture company holds a 30-year mining concession,
whose tenure is valid until 13(th) October 2041. During this mining
tenure there is a requirement to obtain "right-to-explore" permits
through government approval of multi-year exploration work
programmes and budgets. Following the revisions to the Shareholders
Agreement, we re-engaged with our partner and the Georgian Mining
Agency to conclude negotiations to extend the exploration permits
for the various areas and the final application was agreed to in
June.
The final stage, submission and approval of a Government
Resolution, should now be finalised upon new Ministerial
appointments following a Government re-organisation triggered by
the resignation of the Prime Minister on 13(th) June 2018. Although
the previous Minister of Economy endorsed our application just
before the former minister resigned, it is necessary for the new
Minister to also endorse the application before the Government
Resolution can be circulated and approved. New Cabinet appointments
have been made and we remain confident that the Government
Resolution will be approved.
While we wait for the approval I have been delighted with the
technical work being carried out at KBE in preparation for resource
infill and development drilling, infrastructure sterilisation
drilling, and commencement of the feasibility study. The recent
work has included pit optimisations at KBE and developing new
concepts for layouts of surface facilities and haulage routes to
the processing facilities at the neighbouring operations. These
have all been done internally and are particularly interesting as
we are now starting to see what the future KBE operation will
actually look like.
During this period, and whilst the process to extend the
exploration licence has been ongoing, we have reduced expenditure
wherever possible to preserve cash.
Management
The Company continues to strengthen its Board and Management
team and on 28(th) March 2018, Mike Struthers, previously COO, has
been appointed CEO. At the same time, I also accepted the role of
Non-Executive Chairman.
The appointment of Simon Cleghorn as Technical Services Manager
in Georgia commencing in June 2018 further strengthened the team's
delivery ability and these, as well as the other Board changes
during the period, have created a very capable team.
In June 2018 the Company appointed Hannam & Partners as its
financial advisors to focus on strategic opportunities and M&A,
with a view to expanding the portfolio in Georgia and within the
Tethyan Belt. The Board and Management continue to develop the
business, placing great emphasis on enhancing the Company's
presence in Georgia in 2018.
I would like to thank our Shareholders for their continued
support as well as the Board and Advisors for all their hard work.
Over the next 6 months we are confident we will benefit from the
significant opportunities that now lie before us.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Information
The principal activity of Georgian Mining Corporation ('the
Company') and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') is the
exploration and development of precious and base metals. The
Company's shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange. The Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company was incorporated
on 10 February 2010 under the name Gold Mining Company Limited. On
10 October 2016 the Company changed its name from Noricum Gold
Limited to Georgian Mining Corporation.
The address of the Company's registered office is Trident
Chambers, PO Box 146, Road Town, Tortola BVI.
2. Basis of Preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the AIM Rules
for Companies. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt
IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim
financial information. The condensed interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted by the European Union.
The interim financial information set out above does not
constitute statutory accounts. They have been prepared on a going
concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement
criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the European Union. Statutory financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2017 were approved by the Board of
Directors on 28 June 2018. The report of the auditors on those
financial statements was unqualified.
Going concern
The Directors, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that
adequate resources exist for the Group to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future and that, therefore, it is
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
condensed interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June
2018. The factors that were extant at the 31 December 2017 are
still relevant to this report and as such reference should be made
to the going concern note and disclosures in the 2017 Annual
Report.
Risks and uncertainties
The Board continuously assesses and monitors the key risks of
the business. The key risks that could affect the Group's
medium-term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks
have not substantially changed from those set out in the Group's
2017 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is
available on the Group's website: www.georgianmining.com. The key
financial risks are liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, credit
risk, price risk and interest rate risk.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such
estimates are set out in note 4 of the Group's 2017 Annual Report
and Financial Statements. Actual amounts may differ from these
estimates. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not
changed significantly during the interim period.
3. Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of
computation have been followed in these condensed interim financial
statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 except for
the impact of the adoption of the Standards and interpretations
described below and new accounting policies adopted as a result of
changes in the Group.
3.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
Disposals of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in
the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control
is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or
loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the
purposes of subsequently accounting.
for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or
financial asset. In addition, any previously recognised in other
comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as
if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or
liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Joint arrangements
The Group has applied IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under
IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either
joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual
rights and obligations of each investor. Georgian Mining
Corporation has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and
determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint
ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter
to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or
losses and movements in other comprehensive income, When the
Group's share of losses in joint venture equals or exceeds its
interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net
investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments
on behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint
ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in
the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset
transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
(a) Accounting developments during 2018
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued
various amendments and revisions to International Financial
Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations. The amendments and
revisions were applicable for the period ended 30 June 2018 but did
not results in any material changes to the financial statements of
the Group or Company.
The following standards were adopted by the Group during the
year;
-- IFRS 15 - revenue from Contacts with Customers (effective 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 2 (Amendments) - Share-based payments - classification
and measurement (effective 1 January 2018)
-- Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle
-- IFRIC Interpretation 22 - Foreign currency transactions and
advanced consideration (effective 1 January 2018)
The Directors believe that the adoption of these standards have
not had a material impact on the financial statements other than
changes to disclosures.

(1) Includes issue costs of GBP236,602
8. Loss per share
The calculation of the total basic loss per share of 0.561 pence
(2017: 1.179 pence) is based on the loss attributable to equity
owners of the parent company of GBP643,648 (2017: GBP1,034,574) and
on the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 114,731,785
(2017: 87,783,063) in issue during the period.
No diluted earnings per share is presented as the effect on the
exercise of share options would be to decrease the loss per
share.
Details of share options that could potentially dilute earnings
per share in future periods are disclosed in the notes to the
Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended
31 December 2017.
9. Fair value estimation
There are no financial instruments carried at fair value.
10. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at
amortised costs
Financial assets and liabilities comprise the following:
-- Trade and other receivables
-- Cash and cash equivalents
-- Trade and other payables
The fair values of these items equate to their carrying values
as at the reporting date.
11. Commitments
All commitments remain as stated in the Group's Annual Financial
Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
12. Deconsolidation of Georgian Copper and Gold
On 1 March 2018, as a result of changes to the Joint Venture
Agreement, Georgian Copper and Gold was, in accordance with
accounting standards, no longer considered to be controlled by
