CIC MINING RESOURCES LTD.
("CIC" or the "COMPANY")
Third quarter report for the 9 months ended October 31 2012
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Our focus is to earn-in equity interests in quality companies as compensation for our services.
As at October 31 2012, the Company earned revenues of CAD$695,656 (2011: CAD$1,181,278) and a pre tax profit of CAD$100,546 (2011: CAD$332,729). Whilst cash at end of period was CAD$978this low cash position is a result of us using the cash pre tax profit to cover operating costs of the Company. We have continued our focus to minimise further debt either by loans or by expenditure.
The Company has excellent work in progress and earned equity in its investments. From this focus we saw the company continue to earn a profit in the third quarter (2012:CAD$100,546 versus 2011:CAD$322,729).
Our efforts have largely been to ensure we have the right advisors and human resources as we look to realize the value of our assets.. We have appointed Cairn Financial Advisers LLP as Nomad, changed our Auditors from Canada to a UK based firm Crowe Clark Whitehill and added a new Broker, Symvan Securities Limited. . We have also strengthened our board and relationships internationally and are well placed to capitalise on our investments.
We have successfully negotiated pre IPO finance for CIC Fuels Limited (Emulsion) and CIC Gold Limited, both at 30 pence per share. This demonstrates the significant value of the Company's non-public equity interests. We hope that future IPO's of companies in which we hold equity interests will result in significant increases in asset value. We have included our equity investments in our balance sheet. These have been valued on the basis of the pre IPO price set by non-related investors. The impact of this is to transform our balance sheet from a net deficit to a net asset position (CAD$ 28,271,397 compared to CAD$ 2,857,138 at 31 January 2012). The Company has significant tax credits to offset any capital gain taxes. Funds received from capital raised by way of selling some of our equity interests at pre IPO of companies in which we hold equity are being used to cover expenditure and reduce debt.
The Company has continued to earn equity interests in some great companies that are struggling in the current financial climate. The Company's footprint in Asia can greatly assist these companies in mergers with well-funded companies in similar fields from among of our client's base.
The operating costs of the Company are exceptionally low again this third quarter and we will strive to maintain these efficiencies and invest in our staff resources and expand our capabilities.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their continued support and belief in the Board's strategies for the Company's direction.

The Company seeks to provide consulting and advisory services to entities operating at various stages of resource development, and the exclusive right to control the public listing process of any client company if the client company is an unlisted company. The Company principally seek equity interests in client companies in return for its services.
This financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" as adopted by the European Union. The standards have been applied consistently. The non-statutory financial statements for the year ended January 31 2012, which are available from the Company's website, were prepared under IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union. The auditors reported on those accounts and their Audit Report was unqualified with an emphasis of matter.
The Interim Report is unaudited, does not constitute statutory financial statements and has not been reviewed by the Company's auditors. The Interim Report for the nine months ended October 31 2012 was approved by the Directors on January 21, 2013.
The directors consider the going concern basis to be appropriate based on cash flow forecasts and projections and current levels of commitments, cash and cash equivalents.
The comparative period presented is that of October 31 2011. The directors are of the opinion that due to the nature of the group's activities and the events during that period these are the most appropriate comparatives for the current period.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The interim financial information for the nine months ended October 31 2012 has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the most recently published financial statements for the Group for the year ended January 31 2012 which are available on the Company's website www.cicresources.com, as the company does not anticipate the addition of new standards to the Group's results for the year ended January 31 2012.

The fair value of the listed equity securities are based upon their current bid prices in active markets.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period:
Profit attributable to equity holders of the Group: CAD$100,546 (October 31, 2011: CAD$332,729)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue: 152,451,777 (October 31, 2011: 152,451,777)
Basic earnings per share: CAD$0.0006 (October 31, 2011: CAD$0.0021)
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options and warrants. Where the Group makes a loss attributable to the equity holders of the Group, the warrants and share options are anti-dilutive and these contingently issuable shares are not included in the calculation.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a) CIC Gold Limited ("CICG")
CIC holds a 43% interest in CICG which is a non publicly listed entity.
CIC Gold Limited is a newly established precious metals company focused initially on gold mineral assets. The Company was established by CIC Mining Resources Ltd and its Chinese precious metals miner shareholders to establish a specific publicly traded Precious Metals Company.
The Company focus is on mineral property assets where medium to large gold oxide mining may be conducted in the short term, mineral property assets that the directors consider to be undervalued or have strong fundamentals and attractive growth prospects, and de-risk those assets by way of exploration or mining. At present it has two assets, one in China and the other in Eastern Congo further details of which are below.
The Company has as its shareholder base certain of China's oxide and hard rock gold miners who will be conducting initial mining and processing. The Company and its Directors intend to utilize their collective prior experience and informal network of contacts in the mining sectors to grow the mineral property asset portfolio. The mineral assets include an indirect 48% interest in two properties adjacent to Lixian Gold Deposit, Gansu China, Jin Ce gold project Guizhou Province, China located next to Eldorado Gold mine (formally Sino Gold and China's second largest operating gold mine). In addition CICPM holds 48% of CIC Congo which owns certain mineral leases in Eastern Congo located adjacent to Banro Corp. All CICG leases have full mining licenses.
The Group equity sale transaction
CICM has sold part of the equity held by CICM in CICG (" CICG transaction").
Balfour Transaction (December 2011)
The Transaction was for a total consideration of US$3,000,000. An initial payment of US$300,000 was made in December 2011 on agreement with the balance of the purchase price (US$2.7 million approximately £1.7 million) to be paid after the IPO of CICG. The CICG shares were issued in March 2012.
Miyazawa Transaction
The Transaction was for a total consideration of US$3,000,000. An initial payment of US$126,000 on agreement with the balance of the purchase price (US$2.7 million approximately £1.7 million) to be paid after the IPO of CICG. The lower initial payment in respect to Balfour transaction was due to the fact that Miyazawa is contributing significant costs to the gold leases in Eastern Congo. US$63,000 was received in November 2011 and US$63,000 received in April 2012. The CICG shares were issued in March 2012.
