VIRIDAS PLC
"Viridas" or the "Company"
Results for 6 months ended 30 June 2011
Viridas is pleased to announce its interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2011.
Financial results
The group operating loss for the half year ended 30 June 2011
amounted to GBP308,810 (30 June 2010: GBP294,612). A retained loss
GBP308,810 (30 June 2010: GBP294,612) has been transferred to
reserves. Net assets as at 30 June 2011 stood at GBP690,614 (30
June 2010: GBP185,392).
Operational review and outlook
During the six months to 30 June 2011, the Company completed its
financial restructuring as set out in the Chairman's statement
dated 23 June 2011 and changed its investment strategy. Going
forward, overheads have been reduced significantly and the Company
has also raised an additional GBP500,000 during July 2011 in order
to strengthen its balance sheet and to ensure that it is well
placed to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.
A number of investment opportunities have been reviewed during
this period and work is continuing on a small number of these. In
particular, these include an interesting manganese opportunity in
Southern Africa - manganese is relatively easy to mine and is a key
component in the production of steel. A gold asset in Chile in an
area that is well known for both gold and copper and a copper/gold
property in Spain in an area where there are existing mining
operations.
The Company is very much focused on creating value for
shareholders and looks forward to announcing the progress of its
strategy in due course.
