Papua Mining plc
("Papua" or "the Company")
Interim Results
Papua Mining plc ("Papua" or "the Company") a UK company focused
on the exploration for and if commercially feasible, development of
gold and copper deposits in Papua New Guinea ("PNG") presents its
Interim Results for the period ending 30 June 2017.
Highlights
-- EL2051 has been renewed by the Minister for Mining for a further two year period
-- Applications for renewal of ELs 1462 and 2322 have been lodged
-- ELs 1804, 2353 and 2409 have been relinquished.
Exploration
No field exploration activity was carried out during the period
under review. Data collation and review was conducted and it was
decided to surrender ELs 1804, 2353 and 2409. Results obtained to
date on these licences were not sufficiently attractive to justify
the cost of maintaining the licences and it was decided to focus
attention on the three most important licences where the bulk of
our exploration expenditures to date have been made.
Interim Results
Our Income Statement for the six months ended 30 June, 2016
shows a loss of US$116,616 compared to a loss of US$248,798 for the
same period last year. This reduced loss reflects the low level of
exploration activity during the period and the very much reduced
administration costs.
As stated in our Annual Report last June, your Board is engaged
in discussions which it is hoped will lead to an improved outlook
for the Company and its shareholders. A further announcement will
be made as required.
