1. Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies

Basis of Preparation:

These unaudited condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

The unaudited condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements do not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of the Guernsey (Companies) Law, 2008, have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRSs. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 December 2017 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor on those financial statements was unqualified.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's annual audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated half yearly financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors in March 2018 and will be available from the Company's website, www.lionsgold.com.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group:

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.
