Chairman's review Post year end Highlights · Board restructured and Company re-financed by the issue of new capital · Acquisition of a portfolio of investments in listed mining companies · Main focus of the Company redirected to seeking investment opportunities in the mining industry in Russia · Entered into Strategic Alliance Agreement with Artel Vostok · Change of name from Lagan Capital plc to Mining Investments Resources plc Dear Shareholders, The twelve month period to 30 June 2012 was one of stagnation for the Company as it spent the entire year attempting to resolve the problems associated with the investments in and loans made to Evolving Outsourcing Limited ("Evolving") whilst seeking to undertake a qualifying investment to enable it to implement its investing policy in compliance with the AIM Rules for Companies. My maiden Chairman's statement therefore focuses mainly on events that have occurred post the end of the year under review. Having been unable to publish the financial report and accounts for the period ended 30 June 2011 trading in the Company's shares was suspended on 22 December 2011 and subsequently remained suspended having failed to implement its investing policy within the requisite timeframe. On 28 August 2012, the Company raised £690,000 by placing a total of 69,074,119 new shares and 44,537,059 new warrants with investors. Certain outstanding obligations of the Company were also capitalised which resulted in the issue of an additional 3,687,501 of new shares to parties related to Stephen Casey and Peter Holmes in lieu of outstanding fees. Simultaneously with the fundraising, Stephen Casey and Peter Holmes resigned and Steve Roberts and I were appointed to the Board. Most of the new capital raised was immediately invested in a portfolio of mainly Russian focused listed mining companies.

Know what you mean. I hit profit at 3p approx but that's after taking a hit and selling 45k shares that cost 7.2k for just under .8k to offset against gains and I then bought back the 45k a month later. My av b4 that was something like yours at present so I still need to recoup those losses but I do feel that with a fair wind we should over the next 2-3 yrs get back to a very profitable stage
this board is that there is too much apathy then again who cares
the business has strong support from its bankers and other stakeholders and the Board believes that the Group will prosper as the initiatives that have been undertaken to set the business up for future sustainable growth begin to deliver results.
We expect to sign contracts for our first two pilot implementations in Q4 2012.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Introduction Our strategy to stabilise the business, involving a restructure and re-engineering of all operations and processes, has continued in earnest during the first half of the year, as we endeavour to set the business on a path to deliver sustainable growth. Progress is being made across the business. In the UK this has been achieved by working closely with the NHS through the framework agreements and by re-engineering the UK business model to be fully transparent with the introduction of our new brand structure. However, growth in the UK has been adversely impacted by delays in the NHS framework renewal procurement process. In Australia, trading has been impacted by reduced demand in the private sector and, towards the end of the period, in the public sector and in our recently integrated locum doctors business. We have made management changes to align the doctors business more closely with our national nursing business. Although these factors have held the business back in H1 2012, the Board and executive management still consider there to be significant opportunities to grow this business. A significant opportunity for the Group is HCL Clarity, our innovative software-led managed service solution designed to optimise the management of the substantive and locum workforce in the healthcare sector. Implementing this solution in healthcare trusts and hospitals will deliver significant savings to our customers by providing visibility and control in optimising the workforce and reducing the cost of agency spend. We expect to sign contracts for our first two pilot implementations in Q4 2012. A core part of our strategy is to transform the Company into one which puts customer satisfaction at the heart of its business. This transformation of the business is consistent with and driven by the Company's core values: · Integrity · Excellence · Collaboration · Innovation · Sustainability These values, established internally by consensus, are being instilled in the business through our training and performance management processes.

Sorry - my fault. I should have said HPSE ( High Profile Successful Entrepreneurs) DOH!! (Homer's byword!) I'm always looking for short cuts or abbrev. (abbreviations) Thanks for the info on the others so I would agree that must make HLO 5th at the mo even with all the adverse publicity and agree that this is just the start as the rehabilitation is obviously working (Unlike KB!) We won't know about the 25m until it's declared but someone is definitely keeping their cards close to their chest!

Why is there such a large discrepancy between bid and offer price?
Make that 22% and just under 1m traded
Up some 17% so far today and just under 800k traded
sp ticking up nicely and just under 300k traded so far this a.m.
Errr - that's why I qualified those posts by stating "from the net" means the same to me as "From a newspaper article" But you do seem to have taken that personally Should we also include KB as one of your HPSE?
When I say "from the net" What I mean is I put "Craig Tibbles" in a search engine and hits came back of which I selected what you see below unedited by me
Sorry what are you referring to? CT got just under 3% in settlement in 2011 and increase his holding to over 3% the other day What I'm puzzled about is Tosca's purchase of 21m showing up as surely it should also show as a sell when being traded between funds Also who bought the 25m? Whoever it is is staying below the radar as long as the holding is less than 3%
Craig Tibbles was the vendor of Orion Locums and he was in dispute with HCL over an earn out I think which I believe this was settled as part of the refinancing deal with shares. It was referred to in the disclosure pack issued before the refinancing. His track record is about as good as Tosca's, a quick look at companies house shows a long record of dissolved and liquidated businesses.
