Interim Results For The Six Months Ended 30 June 2022
Evrima plc the investment issuer focused on opportunities within the
commodities, mineral exploration and development sectors is pleased to announce
its unaudited interims results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and a
summary of key events, post reporting period end to September 2022.
Chief Executive Officer, Burns Singh Tennent-Bhohi commented,
"We are living through quite extraordinary times in global financial markets.
The world is gripped by a myriad of complex economic & geo-political problems
that shine light on our dependency on globalisation and how challenging
deglobalisation and realistic closed economic models are.
This palpable shift is being felt by the consumer and general public, resulting
in an acute disconnect between monetary and fiscal policy after more than 10
years of monetary policy dominating financial market capital inflows.
Evrima, as an investment issuer has always been focused on investing in asset
classes that the Board believes perform best in economic circumstances such as
those we are experiencing presently.
I am pleased to report that the company and its underlying investees continue
to make strong developments with a focus on timing and liquidity events. Most
notably our first liquidity event through our investment in Premium Nickel
Resources Ltd was achieved post period end."
Highlights to the period ended 30 June 2022 Include:

The Eastport programme will initially focus on soil sampling in areas
deemed favourable for mineral deposits recognized during the first phase of
exploration; airborne re-processing and archive research. A regional stream
sampling survey is also planned.
The programme, scheduled for Q3-4 of this year, will focus on with areas of
coincident historic soil and electromagnetic ("EM") signatures for example in
the Tuni area ("Tuni"). There, the targets are associated with coincident
folded mafic/ultramafic geology, anomalous copper and/or nickel in soils and
weak to moderate airborne conductors. A historic drill result in the Tuni area
(Tsetsejwe East target) reported: 1.1% Cu in brecciated ultramafic.
In the Kwena area, an EM anomaly is associated with a 2.4km long nickel and
copper soil anomaly. Drilling within this anomaly intersected 18m of copper and
nickel mineralized mafic/ultramafic rock grading up to 0.9% Cu and 0.24% Ni.
Many other anomalous areas were revealed in the research and each will be
considered for follow up during the next six to twelve months..

basis. The terms and conditions outlined in the LOI are non-binding on the
parties. The proposed transaction would be structured as a three-cornered
amalgamation, plan of arrangement or other structure based on the advice of
the parties' respective advisers and taking into account various
securities, tax, operating and other considerations. The board of Auston
cannot confirm the exact number of consideration shares that would be
issued to the shareholders of Eastport until such time as Auston and
Eastport have negotiated and settled the principal terms of the proposed
transaction, at which time the parties will enter into a definitive
agreement in respect of the proposed transaction. There can be no assurance
that a definitive agreement will be negotiated or entered into.
