Comments from CEO

Dear shareholders,
Looking back at the first six months of 2014, we can conclude that it has been a busy period for Kopy Goldfields. Despite a bearish mining financial market and continuing tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine and Crimea we succeeded to develop along our principals identified for this year: Focus, Cost savings, Minimizing exploration expenditures on a short-term basis and Getting into production.

First of all, we continued to reduce our administration costs and overall burn rate. We sold some of our exploration equipment, machinery and real estate in Bodaibo and we also cut our personnel in Bodaibo, keeping only the key members crucial for developing the company forward. In addition, we returned two green field exploration licenses, Purpolskaya and Verkhnyaya Orlovka, to the Russian state, everything reflecting the focus on our most promising projects and the lower scope of exploration activities.

Secondly, we successfully completed the sale of the Kavkaz and Prodolny licenses, which was initiated in the end of 2013. Total sales price amounted to USD 1.5 million. The Buyer was a Russian local company "Siberian Gold Mining Company", which intends to develop both projects into gold production. Apart from strengthening our cash balance for 2014, the deal proved that we have quality projects attracting professional investors and it also demonstrated the possibility of commercializing licenses in the area and the ability to repatriate cash from Russia.

Thirdly, after eight months of intense negotiations, on July 10 we signed a legally binding joint venture agreement with GV Gold over development of the Krasny project into production. GV Gold is a fast-developing private Russian gold mining company with an annual output of 175.5 koz of gold and a total resource base of 20.32 Moz. Their main projects are located in the Irkutsk and Yakutia regions of Russia. On August 12, we completed the transaction and GV Gold transferred the initial USD 4 millions of investments into the project.

This deal is very important for Kopy Goldfields. As part of the transaction, Kopy Goldfields receives cash to support the current costs. USD 1 million is already received and an additional consideration of USD 2 million is expected as a success fee subject to the results of the reserve reporting, which we consider realistic. Further, with this transaction, we will potentially move into production pretty soon and in cooperation with a strong production partner with extensive experience from the area. This has been our target for years.

Exploration activities under the joint venture with GV Gold were commenced in July 2014 and under the current contract, GV Gold will finance the agreed exploration program in full. Kopy Goldfields will be the operational manager for the program providing logging services, data base management, deposit modelling and general exploration plans. Drilling operations are performed by a Russian independent contractor who served for the Krasny project since 2011. In 2013 we published a JORC resource report for the Krasny project which showed total gold resources of 1.3 Moz (40.7 tons) at an average grade of 1.53 grams per ton. The current exploration program targets the Upper Mineralization Zone within the Krasny deposit to the depth of 200 meters. Together with GV Gold we schedule to finalize exploration and prove reserves in the second part of 2015. If successful, the first production is expected in 2017.

After several years of prospecting and exploration, we came to the current crisis with a portfolio of assets which have now proved to have a clear value. Although today's investor valuations of exploration projects are far below what they were several years ago, our projects are still solid and have good potential. The market will come back one day and we are prepared to ride the rally.

With kind regards,
Mikhail Damrin, CEO
