Interim Statement for period ended 30 June 2015

Connemara Mining Company plc ("Connemara")

Interim Statement for the period ended 30 June 2015

Gold exploration in Ireland continues to be the main activity in the Connemara portfolio. In the past six months we have continued our low key, low cost, programme on our licence block on the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal. We have examined, reviewed and assessed the data from previous exploration companies. Our first prospecting programme, almost all soil sampling, highlighted a series of attractive areas containing interesting gold grades. Our second campaign focused on the best of these areas - a 700 sq m block from which we collected samples every 20 metres.

The results of this campaign have refined the target area. We are now undertaking a trenching programme over the best area. This seven trench operation is designed to sample the bedrock where we expect to find one or more gold bearing veins. If successful, and assuming the ore contains commercial grades, we would look at a small drilling campaign. We are fully funded for this activity.

Our second block of gold licences is in the Wicklow/Wexford area. Here, we have a joint venture with a private Canadian company, Hendricks, where they must spend €1 million to earn 75%. They have not yet spent enough to earn this interest. Hendricks has adjacent ground and has conducted exploration over the entire licence area, theirs and ours, which have identified drill targets, some on our ground. The abysmal Toronto market for junior explorers has frustrated fund raising by Hendricks so no work is being done at present. An Irish company with licences in the area has joint ventured with a Turkish gold company. They are drilling. We are talking to Hendricks about the joint venture.

We have zinc focused exploration licences near Limerick which is a joint venture with Teck Ireland Ltd., a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"), around the Oldcastle area which is under option to Teck, and one licence near the Lisheen mine in Tipperary.

The zinc cycle should be on an upturn. Supply shortages were expected to begin in 2015 and last for some years. Zinc prices rallied to $2,400 a ton earlier this year in anticipation of an upturn in the cycle and probable supply shortages. But zinc could not withstand the overall collapse in commodity prices caused by fear of slowdown in the BRIC countries. Uncertainty and fear are causing weakness. This can delay the cycle but the BRICs need and will buy the many products containing zinc in housing, transport and white goods sectors. When the upturn comes it is likely to be more pronounced as lower prices will reduce supply and decimate exploration. The delay in demand has caused a subsequent retreat to around $1,800 per ton level seen today.

Teck continues to explore in Ireland however as operator of the Limerick joint venture did not propose a work program for 2015. Teck has been working at Oldcastle towards its earn-in and drilling other projects in the midlands. The Limerick discovery is on care and maintenance. Let me remind shareholders that the Limerick properties, Stonepark, lie next to the Glencore owned Pallas Green zinc discovery which is estimated to contain over 25 million tons of zinc ore but needs more drilling. Rumours abound that the general area is of interest to other groups.

Many of you will remember that a shareholder, Trampus Ltd, took and lost a High Court action against Connemara. Full costs were awarded to Connemara at the ruling in 2013. It has taken two years to have the costs taxed and the final award has not yet been paid. We are pursuing the matter.

The company is funded for all its current activities and expenditure for the next year or so. As explorers we remain hopeful that one or more of our activities will yield positive results. As business people we hope that the world economic outlook will at least stabilise and that fear recedes in the stock market.

2. No dividend is proposed in respect of the period.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the effect of the outstanding share options is anti-dilutive.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The above represents expenditure on projects in Ireland. Included in the Group intangible assets is €Nil (Dec 2014: €10,000) of directors' remuneration which was capitalised during the period.

In 2012 the Group entered into an agreement with Teck Ireland Limited ("Teck"), a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited, which gives Teck the option of earning a 75% interest in licences held by the Group in Cavan/Meath. Teck have to spend €1.35 million on the licences by 2018 in order to earn the option to acquire the total 75% interest. As per the agreement the licences have been transferred into a new company, Oldcastle Zinc Limited. As at 31 December 2014 Teck had completed €550,000 worth of expenditure. As per the agreement upon Teck completing €550,000 of expenditure 343,500 ordinary shares in Oldcastle Zinc Limited were to be issued to Teck. The shares were issued on 20 February 2015 giving Teck a 51% interest in the company.

In 2007 the Group entered into an agreement with Teck Cominco which gave Teck Cominco the option to earn a 75% interest in a number of other licences held by the Group. Teck Cominco had to spend CAD$3m to earn the interest. During 2012 the relevant licences were transferred to a new company, TILZ Minerals Limited, which at 30 June 2015 was owned 23.44% (31 December 2014: 23.79%) by Limerick Zinc Limited and 76.56% (31 December 2014: 76.21%) by Teck Ireland Limited. The Group's share of expenditure on the licences continues to be capitalised as an exploration and evaluation asset. The Group is subject to cash calls from Teck Ireland Limited in respect of the financing of the ongoing exploration and evaluation of these licences. In the event that the Group decides not to meet these cash calls its interest in TILZ Minerals Limited may be diluted accordingly.

The realisation of the intangible asset is dependent on the successful development of economic reserves which is subject to a number of risks as outlined below. Should this prove unsuccessful the value included in the balance sheet would be written off to the statement of comprehensive income.

The group's activities are subject to a number of significant potential risks including;

- Uncertainties over development and operational risks;

- Compliance with licence obligations;

-Liquidity risks; and

- Going concern risks.

The directors are aware that by its nature there is an inherent uncertainty in such exploration and evaluation expenditure as to the value of the asset. Having reviewed the deferred development expenditure at 30 June 2015, the directors are satisfied that the value of the intangible asset is not less than carrying value.

 5. SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE PREMIUM

On 18 September 2014, a total of 20,040,000 shares were issued at a price of 2p per share to provide additional working capital and fund development costs.

6. The Interim Report for the six months to June 30th 2015 was approved by the Directors on 14th September 2015.

7. Copies of the interim report will be sent to shareholders and will be available for inspection at the Companies Registered Office at 162 Clontarf Road, Dublin 3, Ireland. The Interim Report will also shortly be available for viewing on Connemara Mining Company Plc's website at www.connemaramining.com
