MINING INVESTMENTS RESOURCES PLC
formerly
LAGAN CAPITAL PLC
Company number 03744133.
("MIR" or the "Company")
Interim Report for the six months ended 31 December 2012
Chairman's review
The Company has undergone a change of name, leadership and
strategic direction during the period under review and on 31
October 2012 was renamed Mining Investments Resources plc.
The previous business direction undertaken up to 30 June 2012
has been abandoned as it was considered unsuccessful and all known
financial liabilities relating to the previous business were
provided for in the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2012. On 28
August 2012 the Company raised approximately GBP690,000 by the
placing of 69,074,119 new shares and 44,537,059 warrants with
investors and on 29 August 2012 a further 3,687,501 shares were
issued to the two outgoing directors in settlement of outstanding
fees. On 28 August two new Directors were appointed to replace the
outgoing Directors.
Objectives
MIR's objective is to seek investment opportunities in the
mining industry in Russia.
To achieve this objective, MIR entered into a Strategic Alliance
Agreement with Artel Vostok during the period. Artel Vostok
principally operates alluvial gold mines on the Pacific coast of
Russia. The opportunities created by this relationship continue to
be developed, alongside other opportunities in this part of
Russia.
In addition, MIR is currently in negotiations to invest in a
company which has a controlling interest in a silver mine in the
Primorsky region of Russia and three exploration licences located
in the vicinity of the mine. A letter of intent has been entered
into which is conditional on due diligence and negotiation of an
investment agreement, which will define the terms of the
transaction.
Investments
Of the funds raised by the share issue GBP563,830 was initially
invested in quoted mining stocks whilst longer term opportunities
such as described above were being more fully explored. At the
period end these investments had yielded a realisednet gain of
GBP81,001 and investments still held at a cost of GBP332,117 were
standing at an unrealised gain of GBP16,777. Total administrative
expenses, including directors' fees, during the period were
GBP137,848.
Outlook
Since 31 December MIR has continued to develop the relationship
with Artel Vostok and has also approved preparatory expenditure on
due diligence, including geology, financial and legal reports, on
the Primorsky Silver Project in Eastern Russia.
