Corporate & Operational highlights - 2025

· The year was marked by a step change into antimony exploration and mine development in Morocco with local Moroccan project partner Wildstone

· Significant developments on the Antimony licences include the acquisition of the historical Amghas and Ighoud mines and the granting of a new mining licence at Amghas, offering rapid mine development potential

· Exploration and mine clearing at Amghas identified high-grade antimony mineralisation (including up to 15-40% Sb) amenable to preliminary gravity-processing whilst a larger flotation plant is developed

· Licence wide exploration at Amghas identified several high-priority zones, including vein systems that extend beyond the immediate historic workings, and in some places extend between other known historical workings, spanning several km of strike

· Significant progress was made towards near-term production at Amghas post year-end, including the upgrade and relocation of Wildstone's existing gravity plant

· A first and second phase of drilling was successful in identifying significant extensions to the high-grade copper-silver mineralisation present at the historic Silverking Cu-Ag deposit in Zambia

· Consistent intervals of high-grade copper mineralisation were returned at Silverking over downhole widths of up to 25m, whilst the surface expression of mineralisation tripled to over 260m. Additional visible copper mineralisation was identified in the nearby Kopje prospect, a priority target for follow up work

· Surface exploration work and scout exploratory drilling completed at the Western Foreland project identified the presence of prospective basin architecture that hosts mineralisation elsewhere in the region, however it was concluded that advancement of the project would require substantial follow-up work

· Following a strategic review of exploration priorities and resource allocation, a decision was made post year-end to relinquish the Chilibwe and Western Foreland licences, enabling the Company to concentrate on higher-priority assets

· Total of £2 million (before expenses) raised through an equity placing

 

Financial highlights

· Cash of £2.29m (2024: £2.17m)

· Net assets of £17.72m (2024: £18.37m)

· Administrative and operating expenses of £2.19m (2024: £1.38m)

 

Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholder,

The year under review has been very active and to a certain degree transformational. The transformation being conversion from greenfield and brownfield project into development and production. Of considerable note is our entry into Morocco with a view to explore and mine for antimony and possibly tungsten. The entry was by way of a 50% initial shareholding for US$0.5 million in Wildstone SARL, a Moroccan based minerals and exploration development company. Morocco is a recognised mining jurisdiction, hosting large- and small-scale multi-commodity mines and exploration projects. We have increased our initial shareholding from 50% to 80% and acquired a mine known as the Amghas mine, which has multi entries and exposures of antimony.

Post balance sheet, the Company elected to build a gravity separation plant at mine site and produce a antimony concentrate between 15-20%. A mining licence was received in June 2026 and the Company has applied for a mineral processing licence and on receipt, intend to build a full flotation facility to produce high grade antimony concentrates.

We are very pleased with our Wildstone acquisition and feel we have the potential to make significant impact on the antimony market.

We announced in early February 2026, that we would partner with Oval Mining in the Mumbwa district of Zambia to develop the Silverking mining licence. The Company elected to buy a 35% interest in the project for US$1.5 million recognising previous expenditure by Oval Mining. The investment has been made and the mine is now at a stage with a sulphide plant is operational and ready to receive feed. We have undertaken four blasts, which are near surface and contain more oxide than sulphide. The oxide will be processed at a nearby plant on a raw ore grade basis. The next blast is expected to produce sulphides that will be processed at our own plant, with the oxides continuing to the nearby oxide plant.

Detailed planning has taken place and we have decided to develop a ramp to the 140m below surface level, leaving a crown pillar between the open pit and the underground mine. The underground mine will target the exceptionally high sulphide mineralisation, towards the expiration of the open pit mine life, thus continuing continuity of operations.

The Silverking exploration continued during the year with reconnaissance on a number of targets producing favourable results, which will be followed up on completion of geophysical evaluation.

Exploration on the Western Foreland continued with mapping, geophysical interpretation and some reconnaissance drilling, which confirmed the general Western Foreland architecture, however the Company has decided not to proceed with any further exploration and has therefore now decided to impair all costs relating to the project.

The copper price has advanced quite remarkably during the period and particularly since then in the current year. The copper price is now in the region of US$13,000 per tonne and is forecast to go even higher, based more on shortage of supply than actually physical demand. Similarly, the investment climate has warmed slightly to smaller capitalised companies and thus companies are able to make real advances on their projects. Geo-political tension during the period has worsened to the point of two active wars and a number of threatened wars. The effect is being compounded by US policy on tariffs, which is a rapidly changing scenario, often difficult to understand and even more difficult to predict. We believe that tariffs, supply manipulation and geo-political uncertainties will not affect an overwhelming demand for copper, but may affect the supply side in terms of large company commitment to certain regions of the world and certain regions being not receptive to new investment sources.

Quite surprisingly, the world has settled down to what I believe is a more dangerous geo-political risk situation since World War II. This can either be "heads in the sand" or tolerance and expectation of better times. Either way, markets continue to reach new highs and investor confidence, particularly in the US, is at an all-time high.

In this very uncertain world, I would like to thank my fellow directors, colleagues and partners for all their efforts and I look forward to a more balanced and settled environment in which to develop our operations.

The directors are evaluating the impact that these standards will have on the financial statements of the Group.

 

3.  Significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). These consolidated financial statements are made up for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Business combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquire and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquire on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant IFRSs. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or as a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held interests in the acquired entity are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 as amended, are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year.

Going concern

The operations of the Group have been financed through operating cash flows as well as through funds which have previously been raised from shareholders. As at 31 December 2025, the Group held cash balances of £2.29 million, and an operating profit has been reported.

On 24 January 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed terms for the disposal of the Manica Gold Project with its Mozambique partner, MMP. The Share Purchase Agreement in relation to the sale by the Company of its entire interests in the project for a consideration of up to US$15 million in cash in regular staged payments by the Buyers over the period to 1 March 2027. On 24 February 2025, the Company announced that they had agreed with MMP, and parties related to MMP, to reschedule the US$3 million balloon payment due on or before 1 March 2027 as well as the additional deferred payments connected with the decision to build a sulphide orebody plant both as set out in the share purchase agreement. The rescheduling of the balloon and deferred payments does not affect the total amount due to be paid by the Buyers, which remains unchanged. To date, the Company has received all of the consideration due to be paid by the Buyers amounting to US$7.50 million in aggregate.

The Directors anticipate net operating cash inflows for the Group for the next twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.

The Directors have assessed the working capital requirements for the forthcoming twelve months and have undertaken assessments which have considered different scenarios based on exploration spend on its exploration projects in Zambia, Australia and Morocco until June 2027.

Upon reviewing those cash flow projections for the forthcoming twelve months, the directors consider that the Company is not likely to require additional financial resources in the twelve-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements to enable the Company to fund its current operations and to meet its commitments. The Group will continue to monitor corporate overhead costs on an ongoing basis.

The Directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

 

Parent-only income statement

Xtract Resources Plc has not presented its own income statement as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The loss for the year ended 31 December 2025 was £2,519k (2024: loss £967k).

 

Foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each Group Company are maintained in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each Group Company are expressed in Pound Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentational currency for the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation into an entity's functional currency are recognised in profit and loss.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. The Group has elected to treat goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to IFRSs as Sterling denominated assets and liabilities.

 

Taxation

The tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

 

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled, or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Intangible assets

Land acquisition rights and mine development costs

The costs of land acquisition rights in respect of mining projects and mine development are capitalised as intangible assets. These costs are amortised over the expected life of mine to their residual values using the units-of-production method using estimated proven and probable mineral reserves.

Intangible exploration and evaluation expenditure assets

The costs of exploration properties and leases, which include the cost of acquiring prospective properties and exploration rights, are capitalised as intangible assets. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised within exploration and evaluation properties until such time that the activities have reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of commercially exploitable reserves. Once the Company has determined the existence of commercially exploitable reserves and the Company decides to proceed with the project, the full carrying value is transferred from exploration and development costs to mining development. Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment in accordance with the indicators of impairment as set out in IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Reserves. In circumstances where a property is abandoned, the cumulative capitalised costs relating to the property are written off in the year. Capitalised exploration costs are not amortised.

Property, plant and equipment

Tangible fixed assets represent mining plant and equipment, office and computer equipment and are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, which is calculated on either a fixed period or the expected life of mine using the unit of production method, as appropriate.

The average life in years is estimated as follows:

Office and computer equipment 3-10

Plant and machinery 7-15

Until they are brought into use, fixed assets and equipment to be installed are included within assets under construction and are not depreciated.

The cost of maintenance, repairs and replacement of minor items of tangible fixed assets are charged to the income statement as incurred. Renewals and asset improvements are capitalised. Upon sale or retirement of tangible fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements. Any resulting gains or losses are included in the income statement.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

 

Financial instruments

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at amortised cost including trade receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

 

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows, and so it measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

Fair values of trade receivables

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

 

Other financial assets at amortised cost

Classification of financial assets at amortised cost

The group and parent company classify its financial assets as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met:

the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principle and interest.

 

Other receivables

These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the group. Interest could be charged at commercial rates where the terms of repayment exceed six months. Collateral is not normally obtained. The non-current other receivables are due and repayable within three years from the end of the reporting period.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Classification of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) comprise an investment held. These are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income.

 

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Loans to/(from) Group companies

These include loans to and from subsidiaries are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.Loans to Group companies are classified as financial assets at amortised cost. Loans from Group companies are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.

Inter-company loans are interest bearing.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less.

 

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

 

Inventory

All inventories are valued at the lower cost of operations and net realisable value. Net Realisable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the Company is expected to realise after the product is processed and sold less costs to bring the product to sale. Where inventories have been written down to net realisable value, a new assessment is made in the following period. In instances where there has been change in circumstances which demonstrates an increase in the net realisable value, the amount written down will be reversed.

 

Share-based payments

Goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction are recognised when the goods or as the services are received. A corresponding increase in equity is recognised if the goods or services were received in an equity- settled share-based payment transaction or a liability if the goods or services were acquired in a cash-settled share- based payment transaction.

 

When the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as assets, they are recognised as expenses.

 

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions the goods or services received and the corresponding increase in equity are measured, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received provided that the fair value can be estimated reliably.

 

If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, or if the services received are employee services, their value and the corresponding increase in equity, are measured, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

 

Vesting conditions, which are not market, related (i.e. service conditions and non-market related performance conditions) are not taken into consideration when determining the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Instead, vesting conditions which are not market related shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognised for goods or services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Market conditions, such as a target share price, are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The number of equity instruments are not adjusted to reflect equity instruments which are not expected to vest or do not vest because the market condition is not achieved.

 

If the share-based payments granted do not vest until the counterparty completes a specified period of service, Group accounts for those services as they are rendered by the counterparty during the vesting period, (or on a straight-line basis over the vesting period).

 

If the share-based payments vest immediately the services received are recognised in full.

 

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

The cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.

The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non- accumulating absences, when the absence occurs.

The expected cost of profit sharing and bonus payments is recognised as an expense when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.

 

Share-capital and equity

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

 

Share Capital

Share capital represents the amount subscribed for shares at nominal value.

Share Premium

The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.

 

Share-Based Payment Reserve

The share-based payment reserve represents the cumulative amount which has been expensed in the statement of comprehensive income in connection with share-based payments, less any amounts transferred to retained earnings on the exercise of share options.

 

Warrant Reserve

The warrant reserve presents the proceeds from the issuance of warrants, net of issue costs. The warrant reserve is non-distributable and will be transferred to the share premium account upon exercise of the warrants.

 

Finance Income

Finance income comprises interest income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and sales tax or duty. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered, since this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

 

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive Chairman who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

Discontinued operation

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations

is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or

is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is represented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

Silverking Project

In April 2024, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Cooperlemon in relation to the Silverking Project and Licence. Under the joint venture agreement the Company agreed the following key terms:

The Company has an option period of 18 months to earn an initial 51% in the Licence provided it spends US$0.5 million in exploration over the period. The joint venture will then be formally established between the Company and Cooperlemon. The Company may withdraw at any time during the option period but will lose its right to earn 51% in the Licence. On completion of the earn in period, or as such other time as the Company has spent US$0.5 million, and the Company may then advise Cooperlemon of its intention to increase its interest in the Licence to 70% by agreeing to spend a further US$1 million over two years on exploration and development of the Licence, subject to Cooperlemon's right to maintain its interest in the Licence through an option to earn back up to 70% by participating in such ongoing expenditure.

 

Chilibwe Project

In October 2024 the Company entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement with Chilibwe Mining Limited ("Chilibwe") in relation to large scale exploration licence 22118-HQ-LEL in Zambia (the" Licence"). The Company will earn a 25% shareholding in Chilibwe Mining and/or 25% interest in the Project by preparing a work programme and budget for the exploration and development of the Licence and assisting in obtaining funding for the Project. As at 31 December 2025, the Company impaired £235K of costs incurred on the Chilibwe licence.

 

 

Western Forland - Zambia

In August 2023,the Company entered into a joint venture with Cooperlemon Consultancy to explore two large-scale exploration licences; 29123-HQ-LEL and 30459-HQ-LEL. In May 2024, three additional licences, 21850-HQ-LEL, 21851-HQ-LEL & 30458-HQ-LEL, were added to the agreement, bringing the total to five licences. As part of the agreement, the Company committed an initial investment of US$3.5 million to fund the first phase of exploration across all 5 licences. This investment aimed to earn the Company a 65% interest in the project.

The project comprises five large scale exploration licences totalling 173,586 Ha across the prospective Western Foreland and Fold & Thrust Belt geological districts of Northwestern Zambia, collectively known as the Western Foreland.

 

In June 2026, the Directors undertook an assessment of the following areas and circumstances that could indicate the existence of impairment:

The Group's right to explore in an area has expired, or will expire in the near future without renewal;

No further exploration or evaluation is planned or budgeted for;

A decision has been taken by the Board to discontinue exploration and evaluation in an area due to the absence of a commercial level of reserves; or

Sufficient data exists to indicate that the book value will not be fully recovered from future development and production.

 

The Company considered the above assessment of impairment. As the 31 December 2025, the Company decided to impair

£287K of cost incurred on the Western Foreland to date.

The seller remains liable for and shall pay any statutory royalties or any other duties or charges due to the relevant authorities on the sale of any material to the Company.

 

Disposal of the Manica Gold Project

In January 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed with its Mozambique partner, MMP, and parties related to MMP terms for the disposal of the Manica Gold Project. The terms agreed were as follows:

 

The Share Purchase Agreement

The Company agreed to sell its 23% net profit share interest in the Manica Gold Project (by way of a sale of the entire issued share capital of Mistral) to the Buyers for a consideration of up to US$15 million in cash in regular staged payments by the Buyers over the period to 1 March 2027.

On 24 February 2024, the Company announced that it had completed the disposal of the Manica Gold Project.

In February 2025 the Company announced that they had agreed with MMP, and parties related to MMP, to reschedule the US$3 million balloon payment due on or before 1 March 2027 as well as the additional deferred payments connected with the decision to build a sulphide orebody plant both as set out in the share purchase agreement. The rescheduling of the balloon and deferred payments to 2027 and 2028, does not affect the total amount due to be paid by the Buyers, which remains unchanged.
