INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2023 TO 30 JUNE 2023
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the interim financial results of the Group for the
period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023.
The Group has made excellent progress in the first 6 months of the year,
continuing the development of key business opportunites with the addition of
some new exciting prospects, which are developing reasonably fast and will
contribute to meeting the year end target.
Project CLAPS ("Clean Land And Power System") in Italy has officially started on
1 August 2023, with CoalTech Limited working alongside its Italian partner ISS
International S.p.A and ("CLAPS") in the development of a highly innovative
solution that will be demonstrated by the mobile agglomeration plant prototype
for the conversion of coal dust into pellets, as the ultimate deliverables of
this initiative. The mobile test unit, fully automated, will include a fines
preparation section, a transformation section into pellets and a drying section
in order to obtain a final product that can be used at industrial scale as a
green technology.
The Group's subsidiary in South Africa, Coal Agglomeration South Africa (Pty)
Ltd ("CASA"), has started regular production of pellets following the
finalisation of the supply agreement with one of the leading collieries in the
country. The first 250 tons of pellets, in 15kg bags, are currently distributed
to the market, under the CASA trademark, Chisa'Mina. CASA is busy developing a
robust supply chain that will enable reaching different areas through a network
of selected distributors, that can support the next phase of the project, which
will see ramping up production up to a target output of 4,000 tons per month at
full production with a significant positive impact on the profitability and the
cash flow of the business.
CASA is also currently working on a revised proposal for the development of a
dedicated ilmenite pelletising plant which is currently under negotiation with a
leading mining company in South Africa
Advanced discussion are also ongoing for projects in Kentucky, Poland, Indonesia
and Colombia and further announcements will be made in due course as this
opportunity materialises.
We are pleased to report that during the first 6 months of the year, the Company
has successfully raised £90,000 to support the continuing growth of the Group.
Furthermore, the Company issued unsecured Convertible Loan Note amounting to
£260,300.
In addition to the above funding update, CIA continues its work with Reyl & Cie
("REYL"), a subsidiary of Intesa SanPaolo Group, with significant ESG commitment
together with a world-class position in Social Impact and strong focus on
climate business, to structure the issuance of one or several tranches of a
Shariah compliant trust certificate (the "Trust Certificates" or "Sukuk").
The Company and its subsidiary, CoalTech Limited ("CoalTech") looks forward
with optimism, based upon the potential of an extensive and solid pipeline of
opportunities. It is worth reiterating that the strategy of CoalTech is to
secure long term, large scale customer relationships with whom it would develop
one or more full scale plants and with long term offtake arrangements. Securing
one such customer would be transformative, with any such project likely to have
a capital project value well in excess of $10 million and involve the processing
of large scale fines deposit or tailings, typically over one million tonnes.
Different arrangements with clients will result in ongoing revenue streams
through profit share and royalty agreements for CIA.
FINANCIALS
The Group's interim consolidated financial results for the period 1 January 2023
to 30 June 2023 show a loss after taxation of £330,126.
The financial information for the six months period ended 30 June 2023 has not
been reviewed by the Company's external auditors.
OUTLOOK
The Directors are pleased with the progress made in this period and look forward
to continuing to update shareholders on the progress of the Group and the
potentially exciting prospects ahead, some of which are developing at speed.
Such prospects are of course conditional upon and dependant upon the Company
raising further funding. We continue to seek new investment funding and we will
advise shareholders as these opportunities develop.
