Tsumeb Project

During the past twelve months, Emerging Metals Limited ("EML") continued itsstudies and test work on the Tsumeb Slag stockpiles to determine the viabilityof extracting the contained metals, principally germanium but also zinc andgallium. As the market conditions for these metals remained extremely weakthroughout the year, the Company minimised its evaluation and test work costsand reassessed the market conditions on a monthly basis to evaluate thecontinuing scope and viability of this project. During March 2010, theDirectors decided that because of the continuing weak market conditions, betterreturns would be achievable in the short term by looking to build exposure inInvestment Metals and accordingly decided to exit the Tsumeb Slag StockpilesProject altogether.

The exit cost including the land option costs and all associated capitalised survey, development and professional costs was £5,319,860.

Investments

During the period under review, the Company invested a further £2.6 million in Kalahari Minerals, at an average cost of £1.287 per share.

On the 26 March 2010, your Board announced that it had entered into anAgreement to sell 50% of the holding of Kalahari Shares to Nippon UraniumResources (Australia) Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ItochuCorporation of Japan. The number of shares sold was 8,917,647 at a price 185pence per share, and the Company received gross proceeds of £16,497,647resulting in an investment gain of £11,612,665.Under the terms of the Agreement, the Directors conditionally agreed to sellthe remaining 50% holding at the same price of 185 pence per share, the balanceof the Company's holdings of Kalahari Shares subject to Shareholder approvalbeing obtained.After the period under review and following approval from Shareholders at theEGM held on the 16 April 2010, the Company completed the sale of the remaining8,917,647 Kalahari Shares at 185p on the 26 April 2010, generating a furtherinvestment gain of £11,612,665.

The Board declared a Special Dividend of 7.13 pence per share on 16 April 2010 which was paid on 18 May 2010, being an aggregate amount of £25,352,097.

The Company has subsequently also disposed of its holding in Extract Resources Limited generating additional investment gains of £1,251,377.

Investing Policy

It remains the intention of the Board to continue to broadly pursue theexisting business strategy of the Company as approved by shareholders at thegeneral meeting of the Company on 10 April 2009. Following the sale of sharesin Kalahari Minerals, the Company has been reclassified as an "investingcompany" (as defined by AIM Rules) and the effective business strategy of theCompany has since been re-named its Investing Policy.The Board anticipates that the cash it has retained will provide sufficientworking capital for the Directors to continue to develop opportunities forinvestment in situations which are, in their opinion, undervalued or capable ofproducing a satisfactory return and the Board intends therefore to continue toimplement its Investing Policy.The Company plans to target exposure to Investment Metals which include allmetals other than base metals (such as copper and lead, but excluding for thesepurposes zinc) and bulk commodities metals (such as iron, potassium andaluminium) in addition to minor metals. Exposure to Investment Metals will beachieved by a number of methods, including but not limited to the acquisitionor purchasing of the following:

* physical quantities of Investment Metals commodities,

* interests in Investment Metals projects, such as direct licenses or rights

over such projects or licenses,

* strategic minority equity stakes in publicly traded or private companies

with a focus on Investment Metals, and

* positions in securities or any other interest (including but not limited to

loan capital, joint ventures, partnerships, convertibles or other financial

instruments as the Directors deem appropriate).

All of these opportunities may include interests in exploration permits andlicences, mining projects under development, operating mines, smelters, slagstockpiles, refineries, and associated activities. Such activity may beundertaken in the ordinary course of its business and as an alternative toholding cash reserves on a day-to-day basis. The Directors continue to believethat current market conditions will provide good opportunities for a positivereturn from the above investments where prices of the Investment Metals towhich the Company has exposure increase. The Directors do not envisage that theCompany's investment portfolio will be leveraged initially; however, thisposition may be reviewed should the Board become aware of available andcommercially prudent financing arrangements. The Company will consider crossholdings of shares in circumstances that would benefit its broader investmentstrategy.

In evaluating possible additional opportunities in Investment Metals the Directors will take into account the goal of achieving a diversified exposure to different Investment Metals as well as the market outlook for individual elements, although there will be no maximum exposure limits. The Directors estimate that investments will be held for periods of up to five years.

The Directors believe that their collective experience in the areas of mining,acquisitions, accounting and corporate and financial management, together withthe opinion of expert consultants in the evaluation and exploitation ofInvestment Metals opportunities, will enable the Company to achieve itsobjectives. Furthermore the Directors intend to take an active role in themanagement and development of any future projects.

Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to the shareholders for their continued support.

Notes(forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010)

1 Accounting policies

Emerging Metals Limited is a Company domiciled in the British Virgin Islands.

The financial statements incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.

a. Statement of compliance

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

b. Basis of preparation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requiresmanagement to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect theapplication of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, incomeand expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historicalexperience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable underthe circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgementsabout carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparentfrom other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key estimate and judgement made by the Directors is the fair value of the land option.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:

New/Revised International Accounting Standards / Effective date International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/

IFRS) (accounting periods commencing after)

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 1 January 2010 2009)

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (Revised 2009) 1 January 2010 IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (Revised 2009) 1 January 2010

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with 1 July 2010 Equity Instruments

The Directors do not expect the adoption of the other standards and interpretations to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements in the period of initial application.

c. Intangible assets

Exploration rights and associated survey costs are capitalised as incurred and reviewed annually for impairment and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

d. Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Company's assets not carried at fair value throughprofit and loss are reviewed at least at each statement of financial positiondate to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there isany indication that an asset may be impaired, its recoverable amount isestimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of its net selling price andits value in use.In assessing value in use, the expected future cash flows from the asset arediscounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific tothe asset.An impairment loss would be recognised whenever evidence exists that thecarrying value is not recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assetsare grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiablecash flows.An impairment loss is recognised and charged to earnings if the discountedexpected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount. Fair value isestimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount factorthat reflects the market rate for a term consistent with the period of expectedcash flows.

For an asset that does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement whenever the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if the recoverable amountincreases as a result of a change in the estimates used to determine therecoverable amount, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount thatwould have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss beenrecognised in prior years. e. Interest Income

Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.

f. Financial instruments

Measurement

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Land options

Land options are stated at fair value, as estimated by the Directors. This is estimated to be the current market value of the options. There will be no amortisation of the premium paid.

Investments

Investments relate to holdings in two entities which were acquired to realisegains from fluctuations in the prices or margins of traders and are accountedfor on a trading basis. These assets are valued at fair value based on quotedbid prices. Any realised and unrealised gains and losses are presented within`Other Income'.Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables originated by the Company are stated at amortised cost less impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortised cost and due on demand.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.

g) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflowof economic benefits will occur, and where a reliable estimate can be made ofthe amount of the obligation.Where the effect of discounting is material, provisions are discounted. Thediscount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to theliability.h) Foreign currenciesTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the dateof the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement offinancial position date. All differences are taken to the statement ofcomprehensive income.Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historicalcost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the dateof the transaction.i) Share based payments

Under IFRS 2 `Share Based Payments', the Company determines the fair value ofoptions issued to Weatherly International plc as part consideration of the landoption (as per the Tsumeb Option Agreement (note 4)) share option reserves inthe statement of financial position.

The Company determines the fair value of options issued to Directors remuneration and recognises the amount as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding increase in equity.

j) Directors equity share based payments

The fair value of the incentive granted is recognised as an expense with acorresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the grant dateand spread over the period during which the directors become unconditionallyentitled to the incentives.2 Operating segmentsIt is the Directors' opinion that the Company operates within a single segment.3 Other costs 2010 2009 £ £ Professional fees 305,560 824,854 Audit fee 19,025 15,000

The grant of the Tsumeb Option was subject to a number of conditions, whichwere satisfied on 28 January 2008. The exercise term of the Tsumeb Option (the"Tsumeb Option Period") shall expire on the 30 month anniversary of the date ofthe satisfaction of the conditions, such period comprising a total of 24 monthsfor completion of an initial programme of work, plus six months for a decisionby the Company to proceed with commercial production from any portion of theTsumeb Slag Stockpiles and announcement of that decision to AIM.Under the Tsumeb Option Agreement, OML provides the Company with a number ofwarranties regarding the Tsumeb Slag Stockpiles. In particular, OML warrants tothe Company that: * it has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Tsumeb Option Agreement; * it is, and will remain during the Tsumeb Option Period, the legal and beneficial owner of 100 per cent of the Tsumeb Slag Stockpiles; and

11 Financial risk management

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to a number of risks as detailed below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

2010 2009 £ £ Cash and cash equivalents 17,676,956 3,757,960 ══════ ══════

The Company invests available cash and cash equivalents with an Isle of Man licensed bank, which has a strong history on the Island.

The Company has a nominal level of debtors, and as such the Company is able to determine that credit risk is considered minimal in relation to debtors.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Liquidity risk is managed by the Company by means of cash flow planning to ensure that future cash requirements are anticipated. All liabilities are due within one month.

Market price risk

Market price risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity price will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

The Company is exposed to market price risk to the extent that it holds a landoption for which no developed market exists. Therefore the Company might not beable to sell such a stake quickly at close to estimated fair value.All investments present a risk of loss of capital due to unexpected andunforeseen events in the financial markets, and these can have a material andunpredictable impact on the portfolio value. The maximum risk resulting fromthe portfolio is equivalent to their fair value. 2010 2009 £ £ Land option - 4,818,455 Intangible fixed assets - 501,405 Investments 18,238,155 17,627,774 ══════ ══════Interest rate risk

The Company holds current assets in the form of cash at bank. As a result, theCompany is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing level ofmarket interest rates. The weighted average interest rate at 31 March 2010 was0.0152% (31 March 2009: 1.922%) and all balances are held on demand.

The Directors do not regard that interest income is a core revenue stream of the Company and therefore fluctuations in interest rates will not adversely impact the continuing operations of the Company.

Fair values of financial instruments

At 31 March 2010 the carrying amounts of cash resources, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
