Interim Results for the six months to 31 December 2008 
 
 
 
 
Braemore Resources plc (AIM: BRR, JSE: BRE), the international group currently 
focussed on mid-stream processing of platinum group metals (PGMs) and nickel, 
announces its unaudited results for the six months to 31 December 2008. 
 
 
HIGHLIGHTS:

Operations 
 
 
  *  August 2008 - Braemore commenced expansion of the Mintek ConRoast smelting 
  facility in Johannesburg 
 
 
 
  *  September 2008 - Successful installation of the new 3.2MW smelter at the Mintek 
  facility, with smelting capacity of 2,000 tonnes of concentrate per month.  This 
  has been operating at 99.52% recovery of PGMs from high-chrome content PGM 
  concentrate feed and produced 6,892 PGM ounces during the period. 
 
 
 
  *  October 2008 - Braemore announced significant progress towards establishing 
  itself as a mid-tier metal producer and achieving key milestones in its 
  "mine-to-metal" strategy. Discussions held with BHP Billiton ("BHPB") regarding 
  the way forward on the Leinster nickel project resulted in a decision to proceed 
  with detailed scoping studies over all aspects of the project for presentation 
  to BHPB. 
 
 
 
  *  November 2008 - Two key off-take agreements secured guaranteeing PGM concentrate 
  feed supply from Northam Platinum Limited ("Northam) and Anglo Platinum Limited 
  ("Anglo Platinum"), the world's leading primary producer of PGMs 
 
 
 
The Company has made sustained progress on its projects and production from its 
newly-expanded ConRoast smelter in South Africa totalled 6,892 PGM ounces for 
the period. 
 
 
Investor relations 
 
 
During the period Braemore continued its practice of pro-active communication 
with the market and its shareholders, presenting at the following conferences: 
 
 
  *  BAC Platinum Day Conference, Switzerland 
  *  JSE Ltd Showcase, South Africa 
  *  Australian Nickel Conference, Perth 
  *  Nickel 20:20 Day, London 
 
 
 
 
 
POST REPORTING PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS: 
 
 
  *  January 2009 - Braemore announced PGM production for the initial start up period 
  from its new 3.2MW smelter. 
 
 
 
  *  January 2009 - Braemore announced that it had concluded its research on the 
  establishment of an intermediate refining process to further refine the PGM iron 
  alloy produced from its smelting process. The design of a demonstration plant 
  began immediately. Once constructed and commissioned, the refinery process will 
  assist in increasing the margins of the PGM processing business. 
 
 
 
  *  January 2009 - Braemore announced further progress on the Leinster Nickel 
  project following the completion of the Leinster Nickel scoping study and its 
  delivery to BHPB. 
 
 
 
  *  March 2009 - Braemore confirmed an operational incident at Mintek's ConRoast 
  smelting facility in Johannesburg, South Africa on Friday, 27 March. 
  Preliminary investigations suggested superficial damage to the plant and minimal 
  impact on production. Safety procedures were strictly adhered to and no 
  personnel were injured in the incident. 
 
 
 
 
 
Leon Coetzer, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Braemore 
Resources commented: 
"In a difficult global market with share prices and metal prices retracting 
sharply, the Company is pleased to be able to report strong progress on several 
fronts. 
 
 
On the corporate front, the Company completed a successful fundraising, 
commenced trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and further strengthened 
its Board. 
The unaudited financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2008 
show revenue of GBP1,988,000 from its smelting activities. However extraordinary 
items, including the smelter shutdown and installation of the new smelter 
reduced PGM production for nearly three months whilst overheads were still 
incurred, resulted in an after-tax loss for this period of GBP4,400,000 (loss 
per share: 0.56p). Specific events that contributed to the increased expenditure 
and losses are: 
 
  *  About 50% of the after-tax loss can be attributed to the recent settlement of a 
  single old-order contract that may have exposed the Company to market volatility 
  around PGM prices and unfavourable processing terms. This contract has been 
  concluded and replaced by new contracts from both Anglo Platinum Limited ("Anglo 
  Platinum") and Northam Platinum Limited ("Northam"). The new contracts in place 
  are cash positive, with significantly reduced price exposure. 
 
 
 
  *  The JSE listing completed in July 2008 with the associated legal and compliance 
  expense at a cost of GBP351,000 
 
 
 
  *  The decommissioning of the 1.5MW smelter and the subsequent construction and 
  commissioning of the larger 3.2MW ConRoast smelter expansion, as part of the 
  commercialisation of the technology. During this period there was reduced 
  production as the previous smelter was taken offline to replace it with the new 
  smelter. Consequently no production resulted in September 2008 and extraordinary 
  unit costs were incurred during this phase. 
 
 
 
  *  The commitments for the Leinster Nickel Project testwork and reports required by 
  BHP Billiton (BHPB) to conclude the scoping study. 
 
 
 
  *  The acceleration of the research programme to conclude the process flow sheet 
  for the hydrometallurgical refining of the PGM iron alloy. 
 
 
 
Operationally, Braemore Platinum completed the successful installation of its 
3.2MW ConRoast smelter in Johannesburg and secured two new off-take agreements 
from well-established PGM producers, Northam and Anglo Platinum, thereby 
guaranteeing PGM concentrate feed supply for its proven smelting technology. 
These new off-take agreements allowed the company to replace older contracts 
that have been completed. These older contracts may have exposed the company to 
PGM market volatility, at a time when decreasing prices are sharply reducing 
margins. 
Braemore Nickel continued to engineer the design of a cost effective processing 
solution for the Leinster Tailings Project. The quality of this work assisted in 
strengthening the relationship between BHPB and Braemore. 
Braemore has continued to accelerate towards the completion of its research and 
development phase 
for both its nickel and platinum projects. It attained this 
critical goal for the platinum division in March 2009 with the completion of its 
refining strategy, allowing the Company to now focus on the full 
commercialisation of the smelting and refining process."

Statement from Non-Executive Chairman, Dr Mathews Phosa 
 
 
It is on reflection that we see the great strides made by Braemore in the past 
months. It has not been an easy period to be an emerging platinum group and 
nickel metal company, as share prices have fallen across the board and many 
institutional investors have left the junior end of the market. However, 
Braemore has continued with its operational focus to advance both its platinum 
and nickel projects during the period. 
 
 
As previously announced, the proceeds of the placement during this period were 
applied to both corporate and operational goals.  On a corporate level, the 
company achieved its listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and 
operationally expanded the smelting capacity at Mintek to a commercial scale. 
This included developing the hydrometallurgical refinery process and funding the 
various studies necessary to advance the Leinster nickel project. In both 
instances, the enhanced recovery processes that we have developed offer 
potential partners access to fully vertically integrated operations. 
 
 
This use of the placing proceeds highlights the commitment to expenditure 
necessary to advance these projects. Whilst the stockmarket appears not to have 
priced in the progress made to date, the Company is confident that its value 
will prevail and be duly recognised in time. Indeed, this is already evidenced 
by approaches made by existing PGM producers as well as new developers of 
projects seeking access to our unique assets and smelting technology, endorsing 
our view as to the exciting potential for Braemore in the consolidation of the 
PGM sector. 
 
 
The financial results from smelting operations at Mintek reflect in part, the 
decommissioning of the original 1.5MW furnace operations in order to install and 
commission the new, expanded 3.2MW, commercial-scale smelter, over a three month 
period.  Two new off-take agreements were secured from well-established PGM 
producers, Northam and Anglo Platinum, thereby guaranteeing PGM concentrate feed 
supply for our proven smelting technology. These new off-take agreements allowed 
the company to replace older contracts that may have exposed the company 
to, market volatility around PGM prices and unfavourable processing terms.These 
contributed to approximately 50% of the loss for the period.  These old order 
contracts are now completed. 
 
 
Smelting operations were ramping up and conducted over less than half of the 
reporting period (from October to December 2008). The ramp-up period was used to 
resolve early and not-unusual teething operational problems associated with the 
commissioning of a new facility. The first PGM alloy tap from the new furnace 
took place on 21 October 2008. The first shipment of alloy produced from the new 
furnace was exported to Europe shortly thereafter in December 2008. 
 
 
The reduced smelter throughput during shutdown and commissioning was in line 
with expectations and during the period to 31 December 2008, 6,892 PGM ounces 
were produced with excellent recoveries of around 99.5%. 
 
 
Increased pressure on profit margins was experienced as the downturn in the 
global economy affected our end clients' refining margins and in turn, the 
Company's own margins. This margin squeeze is beyond the Company's control 
though Braemore has reacted decisively by accelerating its move into downstream 
hydrometallurgical refining of the smelted PGM alloy. The refined product from 
the hydrometallurgical refining of the PGM alloy offers significant increases in 
operating margins. Braemore has achieved a critical milestone by concluding the 
required hydrometallurgical process flowsheet from its research programmes and 
has committed to the accelerated construction of the refining facility. 
 
 
As indicated to the market, the smelter is now approaching a position from which 
it can generate positive cash flow, dependant on feed grade and margins. 
Braemore has additional expenditure requirements in South Africa over and above 
its smelting operations, including final payments for the expansion of the 
smelter and funding the hydrometallurgical refining component. Smelter output 
revenues from toll processing alone will not fund our progress hence the 
decision to accelerate the hydrometallurgical refinery development with a view 
to improving our production margins and becoming self-funding. This development 
programme includes studies to engineer the full commercialisation of the 
processes. 
 
 
Our relationship with BHPB continues and we look forward to their response to 
our positive findings on the Leinster nickel tailings project. As previously 
announced, we anticipate receiving their feedback towards the middle of 2009. 
 
 
The Company has reported a pre-tax loss for the period ended 31 December 2008 of 
GBP4,400,000 (2007: loss of GBP1,015,000). Specific events that contributed to 
the increased loss, as discussed above, include: 
 
 
  *  the recent settlement of a single old-order contract at a cost of GBP2,044,000 
  that may have exposed the Company to market volatility around PGM prices and 
  unfavourable processing terms; 
 
 
 
  *  the JSE listing completed in July 2008 with the associated legal and compliance 
  expense at a cost of GBP351,000; and 
 
 
 
  *  the period of decommissioning of the 1.5MW smelter and the subsequent 
  construction and commissioning of the larger 3.2MW ConRoast smelter expansion, 
  during which there was reduced or no production. 
 
 
 
Braemore's cash position at 31 December 2008 was GBP2,538,000 (2007: 
GBP3,358,000). 
 
 
Despite the challenging world we find ourselves operating in, Braemore is 
committed to the continued implementation of its mine-to-metals strategy. We are 
confident that the coming months will realise benefits of the hard work and 
foundations laid at a corporate level through black economic empowerment, 
operational progress and commercial transactions.

Notes to Editors: 
 
 
Braemore Resources offers investors an attractive opportunity to enter into the 
PGMs and nickel business, initially through the mid-stream processing of these 
metals and, in time, through mine-to-market production opportunities. 
 
 
Braemore Resources is principally involved in evaluating, establishing and 
operating independent facilities for the roasting, smelting and refining of 
concentrates containing PGM and associated base metals and for the reclamation 
and processing of sulphide nickel tailings. Diversified both geographically and 
in terms of product, the company is located in two key mining regions - Braemore 
Nickel in Western Australia and Braemore Platinum in South Africa. Braemore's 
access to proprietary technology, and in particular the Mintek ConRoast 
technology, which has successfully operated at test plant level, makes the 
company well-positioned to become a significant player in the burgeoning South 
African PGMs sector, offering a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly 
and accessible smelting option to many junior mining companies. Unlike 
conventional smelters, ConRoast is unaffected by the high-chrome content ores, 
which are increasingly being mined. 
 
 
Braemore's management team, in South Africa and Australia, bring with them 
impressive credentials in their respective sectors, combined with a Board that 
has experience in metals processing, financial and commodities markets.

Notes to the Interim Report 
For the six months to 31st December 2008 
 
 
1.PRESENTATION OF INTERIM RESULTS 
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 
prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International 
Accounting Standards, International Reporting Standards and Interpretations 
adopted for use in the European Union (collectively EU IFRSs), including IAS 34 
'Interim Financial Reporting'. In addition, the Group also complied with IFRS as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The principal 
accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are unchanged from 
those disclosed in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and 
are expected to be consistent with those policies that will be in effect at the 
year end. 
 
The condensed financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2008 and 
31 December 2007 are unreviewed and unaudited, and do not constitute statutory 
financial statements as defined by Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The 
comparative financial information for the year ended 30 June 2008 is not the 
company's full statutory accounts for that period. A copy of those statutory 
financial statements has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The 
auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references 
to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without 
qualifying their report and did not contain a statement under section 237(2)-(3) 
of the Companies Act 1985. 
 
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. As is common with many 
junior mining companies, the company raises money for exploration and capital 
projects as and when required. There can be no assurance that the Group's 
projects will be fully developed in accordance with current plans or completed 
on time or to budget. Future work on the development of these projects, the 
levels of production and financial returns arising there from may be adversely 
affected by factors outside the control of the Group. 
 
This interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 March 
2009 (*). 
 
2.         COST OF SALES 
 
Included in the cost of sales is the final settlement of the old order contracts 
to the value of GBP2,044,000, and the metal price volatility and foreign 
exchange costs incurred on all metal sales in the period. 
 
3.         TAXATION 
 
No taxation has been provided due to losses in the period. 
 
4.         DIVIDENDS 
 
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend. 
 
5.         LOSS PER SHARE 
 
The basic loss per share is derived by dividing the loss for the period 
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares 
in issue.

+-------------------------------------------------+------------------+------------------+-------------------+ 
 
As the inclusion of the potential ordinary shares would result in a decrease in 
the loss per share they are considered anti-dilutive and, as such, the diluted 
loss per share calculation is the same as the basic loss per share.

Notes to the Interim Report 
For the six months to 31st December 2008 
 
9.         SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 
 
The accessed fair value at the grant date has been determined using the 
Black-Scholes Model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate 
for the term of the option. 
 
Director Options 
During the current period, the company granted options to Leon Coetzer (Managing 
Director) as tabled below. Under IFRS 2 'Share Based Payments', the company 
determines the fair value of options issued to Directors as remuneration and

Notes to the Interim Report 
For the six months to 31st December 2008 
 
11.      PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT - PERFORMANCE SHARES AMD BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 
 
On 28 July 2005, the Group completed the acquisition of Western Consolidated 
Nickel Pty Ltd ("WCN") with a component of the consideration being 305 million 
Performance Shares. The Directors originally valued the Performance Shares at 
their par value of 0.1p, or GBP305,000, on the grounds that it was inherently 
difficult to measure reliably their fair value at the date of issue. 
 
However, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', 
and following discussion with the Financial Reporting Review Panel, the 
Directors have re-visited this issue as IFRS 3 states that equity instruments 
issued as consideration must be measured at their fair value at the date of 
acquisition and there is no exemption on the grounds that such fair value could 
not be measured reliably. As such, the Directors have used the Black-Scholes 
Model to value the Performance Shares. 
 
For the purposes of IFRS 3, the Directors have assessed the fair value of the 
Performance Shares as GBP3,050,000, as at the date of their issue on 28 July 
2005. In assessing the fair value of the Performance Shares, the Directors have 
utilised the Black-Scholes Model. The key inputs applied to the Black-Scholes 
Model included the assessed fair value of ordinary shares issued for the 
acquisition of WCN on 28 July 2005 of 10p; risk free interest rate of 4.20%; and 
expected volatility of 0.50. In assessing the fair value of the Performance 
Shares, a discount of 90% has been applied to the theoretical value calculated 
by the Black-Scholes Model to take into account the estimated probability of the 
Performance Milestones being achieved of 10%. This applied estimated probability 
of the Performance Milestones being achieved, took into account the level of the 
scoping and desk top technical and economic studies, including conceptual flow 
sheet and process, undertaken to the date of the acquisition of WCN. This 
applied probability of the achievement of the Performance Milestone is as at the 
28 July 2005, and does not represent the Director's current assessment. 
 
As a result of this restatement the intangible assets and merger reserve of the 
Consolidated Group are increased by GBP2,745,000 (GBP3,050,000 less GBP305,000 
par value). The Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows are unaffected by 
this restatement.
