Mercer Resources plc

("Mercer" or the "Company")

Interim Report

The board announces its unaudited interim results for the six month period ended 30 June 2014

HIGHLIGHTS

Total comprehensive loss for the period GBP87,000 (2013: GBP14,000)

GBP193,500 raised by placing 10,333,333 new ordinary shares and GBP90,167 Convertible Loan Notes that will convert into 9,016,700 ordinary shares on full conversion

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Several potential transactions were reviewed during the period in order to fulfil the Company's investing strategy but none were deemed suitable to execute and put to the shareholders for approval. Unfortunately this meant that the investing strategy could not be met by 30 July 2014 and the Company's shares are as of the date of this report suspended from trading on AIM.

The Board is continuing to review potential opportunities and hopes to be able to announce a transaction and convene a Shareholder meeting to approve a Reverse Takeover or otherwise implement the Company's investing strategy to the satisfaction of the Exchange...

The Board would like to thank shareholders for their continued support and patience during the period.

Trevor Wells

Non-Executive Chairman
