Commenting on the interim results, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chair, said:

"Capital delivered a strong first half performance, with revenue increasing 37.6% year-on-year to $219.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 70.4% to $54.7 million. This performance was underpinned by improved drilling contract productivity, continued momentum from MSALABS and solid execution across our mining services contracts.

On the back of a strong H1, we are pleased to announce an increase in our 2026 Group revenue guidance to $430 - $450 million (from $410 - $440 million).

We secured several important, long-term contract awards across drilling and laboratory services, including a new long-term contract with Maaden. At the same time, we discontinued drilling operations at Sadiola and Nevada Gold Mines, reallocating capital and equipment to markets where we see stronger demand and better long-term returns.

Our mining contracts at Reko Diq and Sukari continue to perform well. While recent commentary from Barrick noted a slowdown in capital expenditure at Reko Diq, Capital remains a well-established key contractor at the project and will continue to support its development going forward.

MSALABS continues to build on its momentum, with commissioning of new laboratories, increasing utilisation and improving margins. Its growing geographic footprint, customer and commodity diversification continue to broaden the Group's service offering.

We remain confident in the Group's outlook as we mobilise into several new contracts, with robust industry demand and attractive growth opportunities present across all divisions. We are pleased to declare an interim dividend of 1.3 cents per share, reflecting our continued focus on delivering value to shareholders."

Financial Overview

· H1 2026 revenue of $219.0 million, up 37.6% on H1 2025 ($159.2 million);

· H1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $54.7 million, an increase of 70.4% on H1 2025 ($32.1 million) with H1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 25.0% (H1 2025: 20.2%);

· H1 2026 Operational NPAT of $15.5 million, an increase of 638.1% on H1 2025 ($2.1 million);

· H1 2026 Adjusted Cash from Operations of $41.4 million, a 24.3% decrease on H1 2025 ($54.7 million) partly driven by an unfavourable working capital position at the end of the period, some of which is expected to normalise in H2 2026;

· H1 2026 Capex of $24.1 million (H1 2025: $20.4 million) including prepayments and assets financed by OEM;

· Net debt at H1 2026 of $43.3 million decreased 21.8% on H1 2025 ($55.4 million), predominantly as a result of higher Adjusted EBITDA, offset by unfavourable working capital movements and net purchases in the investment portfolio; and

· Declared an interim dividend of 1.3 cents per share, to be paid on 5 October 2026 to shareholders registered on 28 August 2026.

Operational Review

· Safety performance remains strong with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") of 1.2 per 1,000,000 hours worked in H1 2026 (H1 2025: 0.8).

Capital Drilling

· Total rig count decreased to 131 by the end of H1 2026 (FY 2025: 137), as rigs were decommissioned as part of the withdrawal from NGM and Sadiola;

· H1 2026 average rig utilisation was 71%, down from 74% in H1 2025. The decrease during the half was driven by rigs in transit, including redeployments from NGM and Sadiola, as well as rig movements around several short-term exploration contracts;

· Average monthly revenue per operating rig ("ARPOR") was $210,000 in H1 2026, up 10.5% on H1 2025 ($190,000), reflecting portfolio optimisation initiatives despite several rig redeployments during the period;

· New contract win

- Awarded an 8-rig diamond drilling contract with Maaden for 2 years, with a 1-year extension option, across several of its exploration projects in Saudi Arabia, marking Capital's second contract in Saudi Arabia and the first direct contract with Maaden.

· Contract wins during H1 2026 (previously announced)

- Awarded a 5-year grade control drilling contract with Montage Gold at its Koné Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, which commenced in Q2 2026;

- Awarded a 3-year diamond and reverse circulation drilling contract with PDI Gold at its Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea, which commenced in Q2 2026;

- Awarded exploration drilling services contracts with Skylark Minerals and Santa Fe Minerals, and a short-term waterbore contract with Resolute Mining in Côte d'Ivoire.

· Discontinued drilling operations: During H1 2026, the Group exited drilling operations at Sadiola (Mali) and Nevada Gold Mines (USA), reallocating equipment and management resources to higher-return opportunities across its existing operations. Assets from Sadiola are being redeployed to support the recently commenced PDI Gold contract in Guinea, while selected Nevada assets are being reallocated within the business or sold.

Capital Investments

· The total value of investments (listed and unlisted) was $116.5 million as at 30 June 2026, up from $97.5 million as at 31 December 2025, with the increase driven by:

- Investment gains (realised and unrealised) of $7.0 million and dividend income of $0.2 million in H1 2026, achieving a 7.4% return. Over the same period, the VanEck Junior Gold Miners UCITS ETF decreased by 14.1%; and

- Net investment purchases of $11.8 million, of which the majority related to the equity raises of WIA Gold and Asara Resources during Q2 2026;

· The portfolio continues to be focused on a select few key holdings, namely WIA Gold, Asara Resources and Apollo Minerals.

Outlook

· Group revenue guidance for 2026 is raised to $430 - $450 million (up from $410 - $440 million as previously guided at our FY 2025 results), reflecting the diversification of the Group and the strong demand environment. MSALABS revenue guidance is reiterated at $85 - $95 million. Capex guidance is reiterated at $55 - $65 million with spend weighted towards H2;

· We remain focused on operational execution across the Group, including mobilising major new contract awards, completing key project transitions, commissioning new facilities and improving utilisation across our existing footprint.

· Across our markets, industry activity remains robust, providing a supportive backdrop for organic growth, new commercial opportunities and future contract awards.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CAPITAL LIMITED

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

We have been engaged by Capital Limited (the 'Company') to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 which comprise of the following:

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The related explanatory notes

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" ("ISRE (UK) 2410"). A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CAPITAL LIMITED

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability.

	The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Capital Limited and Subsidiaries ("Capital" or, together, the "Group") as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the "Interim Financial Statements"), which are unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") No. 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". This condensed interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an Annual Report. They should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed in terms of International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410. The Group Annual Financial Statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is also the Group's functional currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

	Accounting policies

	The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

	All accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation which have been followed in these Interim Financial Statements were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. No new standards or amendments have been issued that are relevant to the Group.

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management reviews its estimates on an on-going basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Going concern

	As at 30 June 2026, the Group had a robust balance sheet with a modest debt gearing with equity of US$408.8 million and loans and borrowings of US$91.4 million. Cash as at 30 June 2026 was US$48.1 million, with net debt of US$43.3 million. Investments in listed entities at the end of June 2026 amounted to US$116.5 million which provided additional flexibility as these investments could be converted into cash.

	This robustness is underpinned by stable revenues generated on long term contracts. Revenues generated on mine sites and longer-term contracts make up the majority of Group revenues. The Group achieved strong revenues and margins during the half, contributing to a positive outlook for the remainder of the year and beyond.

	Commercially, the Group continues to secure and extend long term mining contracts with high-quality customers, including the latest significant contract awards with Fortescue at its Belinga Iron Ore Project in Gabon and a multi-site exploration drilling contract with Maaden in Saudi Arabia.

For the six months ended 30 June 2026

1.	Basis of presentation and accounting policies

	Going concern (cont'd)

	In determining the going concern status of the business, the Board has reviewed the Group's forecasts for the 18 months to December 2027, including both forecast liquidity and covenant measurements. In the assessment, management took into consideration the principal risks of the business that are most relevant to the going concern assessment and reverse stressed the forecast model to identify the magnitude of sensitivity required to cause a breach in covenants or risk the going concern of the business, alongside the Group's capacity to mitigate. The most relevant sensitivity was considered to be a decrease in EBITDA through loss of contracts, with no redeployment of equipment. EBITDA would need to fall over 47% during the period of assessment for going concern to breach the covenant test.

	Given the strong market demand from existing high-quality clients, majority of revenue earned from mine-site customers, a healthy tendering pipeline, increased customer base and limited contract expiries during the year, management considers a decrease of such magnitude to be remote. Based on its assessment of the forecasts, principal risks and uncertainties and mitigating actions considered available to the Group (holding back dividends, sale of investments, capex deferral) in the event of downside scenarios, the Board confirms that it is satisfied the Group will be able to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the going concern period to December 2027. Accordingly, the Board has concluded that the going concern basis in the preparation of the Financial Statements is appropriate and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast doubt on that basis of preparation.

4.	Taxation (Cont'd)

	The Group has taken income tax positions that management believes are supportable and are intended to withstand challenge by tax authorities. Some of these positions are inherently uncertain and include those relating to transfer pricing matters and the interpretation of income tax laws. The Group periodically reassesses its tax positions. Changes to the financial statement recognition, measurement, and disclosure of tax positions is based on management's best judgement given any changes in the facts, circumstances, information available and applicable tax laws. Considering all available information and the history of resolving income tax uncertainties, the Group believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not likely have a material effect on the Group's financial position, statements of operations or cash flows.

15.	Segmental analysis
		Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal management reports regarding components of the Group. These are regularly reviewed by the Chair in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Operating segments are identified based on the regions of operations. For the purposes of the segmental report, the information on the operating segments has been aggregated into the principal regions of operations of the Group. The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore:
		- Africa:	Derives revenue from the provision of drilling services, mining services, surveying and mineral assaying.
		- Rest of world:	Derives revenue from the provision of drilling services, surveying and mineral assaying in jurisdictions such as Pakistan, USA, Saudi Arabia and Canada.
		Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported below. At 30 June 2026, management reviewed the composition of the Group's operating segments and the allocations of operations to the reportable segments.

15.		Segmental analysis

		Segment revenue and results:
		The following is an analysis of the Group's revenue and results by reportable segment:
		For the six months ended 30 June 2026		Africa	Rest of World	Consolidated
				US$'000	US$'000	US$'000
		External revenue		130,828	88,183	219,010

Interest income				37
Dividend income				865
Share of loss				(8,113)
Finance costs				(5,693)

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies described in note 1. Segment profit/(loss) represents the profit/(loss) earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs, depreciation, interest income, share of losses from associate, finance charges and income tax. This is the measure reported to the Chair for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

(a)	Fair value hierarchy

	Financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position or disclosed at fair value require disclosure of fair value measurements by level based on the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

		Level 1:	quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
		Level 2:	inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and
		Level 3:	inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

(b)	Fair value information

	Level 1 shares

	Market approach - Listed share price.

	The Company's interests in various listed shares are valued at the 30 June 2026 closing prices. No secondary valuation methodologies have been considered as all the Company's investments are listed on active markets.

	Level 3 shares

	The Group's investments held at Level 3 are valued either on a net asset approach or cost approach.

	Net asset approach

	Management applied a net asset valuation methodology at 30 June 2026 for certain unlisted investments based on the Group's share ownership percentage of the unlisted company's net asset value. The unlisted company publishes some of its significant net asset value information and management then derives the investment at fair value attributable to the Group.

	Cost approach

	Management holds all other unlisted investments at cost where this represents the best estimate of fair value.

(c)	Fair values of other financial instruments

	Level 3 derivative financial assets

	The Group's derivative financial assets consist of call options to acquire additional shares in a non-listed entity.

Further investments in the subsequent two years have taken the ownership stake to 26%. Eco Detection Pty Ltd. is incorporated in Australia and its principal activity is the development of water analysis technology for use in remote operations, critical infrastructure and general water chemical analysis produces analysis systems for monitoring water quality. This investment has been accounted for in accordance with IAS 28, as an investment in associate rather than as an investment at fair value.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY

For the six months ended 30 June 2026

The directors are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation and integrity of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related information.

The directors are also responsible for the Group's systems of internal financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability for the Group's assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss. Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the six months under review.

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group as required by FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules DTR4.2.4R;

the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR4.2.7R and DTR4.2.8R; and

there have been no significant individual related party transactions during the first six months of the financial year and nor have there been any significant changes in the Group's related party relationships from those reported in the Group's annual financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis since the directors believe that the Group has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors on xx August 2026.

ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTORS

Jamie Boyton

Principal and Emerging Risks and Uncertainties

Risk is inherent in our business and can manifest in many forms. Capital is committed to effective risk management to best achieve its business objectives.

The identification, management and reporting of risk uses formal risk management processes to improve decision-making and minimise the impact of an event occurring that may influence our corporate strategy, as well as operational and project activities.

By understanding and managing risk, we believe we provide greater certainty and confidence for our shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and for the communities in which we operate.

Our risk management approach includes:

· Establishing a standard approach to the management of risk and to the acceptable levels of risk throughout the business.

· Establishing a consistent process and methodology for identifying, assessing, and ranking risks in conducting our business activities.

· Ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations and governance standards in all areas of our operations.

· Regularly monitoring our major areas of risk exposure and setting requirements for our personnel to proactively identify risk.

· Responsibility and accountability for risk management is allocated at all levels of the organisation, from frontline employees up to the Board level.

Our top ranked risks are listed below and are those risks that are assessed as having a residual risk rating of high or above within Capital's ERM Framework.

Area	Description	Mitigation
General reduction in levels of activity across the mining industry	The Group is highly dependent on the levels of mineral exploration, development and production activity within the markets in which it operates. A reduction in these activities, or in the budgeted expenditure of mining and mineral exploration companies, will cause a decline in the demand for mining services.	The Group is seeking to balance this risk by building a portfolio of long-term mine-site contracts, expanding its services offering into mine-site based activities such as load and haul mining, and also expanding both its client base and geographic reach. The Group's operations are generally focused on mine sites, with limited exposure to exploration-only activities which can be more volatile. Capital has strong existing relationships with our clients at both executive and operational levels which helps ensure that the Group is aware of and prepared for potential changes and well placed to identify new opportunities as they arise with our key business partners. The Group's strategic focus is on blue-chip, high-quality clients with long term project commitments that are inherently less susceptible to industry fluctuations.

CAPITAL LIMITED

Principal and Emerging Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Area	Description	Mitigation
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system failure	The Group's existing ERP system is monitored and supported by internal technical staff as it is no longer maintained by the publisher, SAGE. The system requires regular downtime for routine maintenance during which time the system is unavailable to support the business.	Capital's staff are experienced in maintaining the current ERP which minimises system downtime. The implementation of a new, modern ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics, is well progressed and transition to the new system commenced during 2024 and is progressing well during 2025.
Risk to cash repatriation	Restrictive currency controls in certain operating jurisdictions can impact the Group's ability to repatriate cash.	The Group maintains multiple bank accounts in jurisdictions where cash repatriation can prove challenging, which can provide greater access to foreign currency payments. The Group maintains strong relations with its key transactional banking partners, and any new country entry process includes specific due diligence requirements relating to the operation of the banking system and the ability to repatriate cash.
Risk of key contract termination	Some contracts can be terminated for convenience by the client without penalty.	Key contracts include agreed notice periods as well as demobilisation and/ or termination fees where a contract is terminated for reasons beyond the Group's control. Contract renewal negotiations are commenced well in advance of the expiry of fixed term contracts. Strong client relationships help the Group to better understand the needs of our clients and partner with them to continue to meet their current and future needs.
Decline in mine-site production levels	A significant proportion of the Group's revenue is derived from producing mines which carry their own risks and can be subject to, for example, unforeseen changes in mine plans due to geological or technical challenges, changes to a client's operational budget or broader strategic objectives and changes in global commodity prices.	The producing mines which account for a significant proportion of the Group's revenue tend to have long-term mine plans and well understood geology. Many contracts include fixed fee elements which help mitigate the revenue impact of short-term reductions in activity levels. The Group focuses on ensuring operational excellence and seeks continuous improvement to increase our overall value proposition as a strategic partner for our clients.

Principal and Emerging Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Area

Description

Mitigation

Deterioration in health
and safety record

The Group's operations are subject to
various health and safety risks associated
with drilling and mining including, in the
case of individuals, personal injury and
potential loss of life; and, in the Group's
case, interruption or suspension of site
operations due to unsafe operations.

Health and Safety is an absolute priority
for the Group.

Overseen by the Board, the HSSE Committee, the CEO and senior management team provide strategic leadership in this area and lead a programme of open and honest communication with employees at all levels and in all areas of the business.

Some of the Group's safety initiatives, including those around training and monitoring as well as the innovative Safety Risk Leadership Walk, are detailed on our website and have contributed to safety milestones such as 16 years LTI free at our Mwanza facility.

Over exposure to one commodity sector

Gold is an important commodity that contributes significantly to the Group's order book and tender pipeline.

Price and demand fluctuations in this single commodity could have a material impact on Capital's financial performance

The Group seeks to secure long term contracts with blue-chip clients.

Capital continues to actively seek opportunities with a focus on non-gold minerals (e.g. copper) as well as transition materials.

CAPITAL LIMITED

Principal and Emerging Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Area

Description

Mitigation

Reduction in value of equity investment
portfolio

Through Capital Investments, the Group holds investments in a portfolio of publicly traded companies.

The accounting value of these investments is marked to market at each reporting date and the fair value adjustment is accordingly recorded in the profit and loss account as an unrealised gain or loss.

The value of the investments will change and could materially alter both the Group's reported net assets and net profit position.

By diversifying its holding into a portfolio of investments in various companies, the Group aims to mitigate the risk from a significant devaluation of a single investment holding.

We maintain a robust governance structure for this portfolio, with the Group's Investment Committee being required to include at least one Independent Non-Executive Director. The committee actively monitors existing investments for performance and ongoing strategic alignment. New investments are required to satisfy a number of criteria.

In the event the fair value of investments gives rise to an unrealised loss, while this would affect the company's net assets and profitability, it would not affect cashflow or give rise to any going concern implications.

Geographical risk

The Group operates in a number of jurisdictions where social unrest and resulting economic turbulence are common, both of which have the ability to significantly disrupt operations and threaten safety and security of Capital's assets and personnel.

The Group has considerable practical experience in operating successfully in such jurisdictions and plans are in place to secure the safety of personnel and assets in the event of significant security issues.

The Group is seeking to continue to diversify its operations geographically including, for example, in North America, Pakistan and Zambia.

Safety and security are key considerations in the Group's due diligence processes when considering entry into new jurisdictions or significant additional investment into existing jurisdictions.

CAPITAL LIMITED

Principal and Emerging Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Area

Description

Mitigation

Access to new funding sources

Inability to access bank debt and/or inability to access equity capital from the market.

Debt facilities not available in time to support the ongoing growth of the business.

The Group is focused on capital efficiency and maintaining balance sheet flexibility. The Group prioritises building and maintaining strong relationships with our banking partners as well as our existing OEM finance providers such as CAT, Sandvik and Epiroc.

Senior management continues to engage regularly with shareholders.

Energy transition

Capital is subject to both risks and opportunities associated with the global energy transition and climate change.

Traditional diesel-powered mining equipment will be replaced by more energy efficient, low-carbon alternatives.

Increasing production in the battery minerals sector is critical to support the global transition to lower carbon technologies.

Our carbon reduction efforts are closely linked to the development of sustainably powered equipment by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as clients and host governments switching to renewable energy sources. The Group assesses developments in low-carbon technology and senior management are in regular contact with OEM manufacturers so as to maintain a strong awareness of industry developments.

Recognising the importance of reducing our emissions and our Net Zero target, we continue to identify and pilot technology options for decarbonisation to capitalise on opportunities as they become available such as our Epiroc partnership to field-test their SmartROC D65 battery-electric surface drill rig.

We continue to focus on our drill fleet automation and replacement and already have several electric underground rigs in use. Where possible we are looking to switch our ancillary fleet to alternative energy sources.

CAPITAL LIMITED APPENDIX: GLOSSARY AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

EBITDA
EBITDA represents profit or loss for the period before interest, income taxes, depreciation & amortisation, fair value gain or loss on financial assets through profit or loss and exceptional items. EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that is used as supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. This non-IFRS financial measure will assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA assists our management and investors in: - i. understanding and analysing the results of our operating and business performance, and ii. monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold our shares. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of depreciation and amortisation, income (loss) from associate, interest income, finance charges, fair value adjustment on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on fair value through profit and loss investments, which may significantly affect comparability of results of operations between periods. EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit or loss for the period or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Further other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently from how we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents profit or loss for the year before interest, income taxes, depreciation & amortisation, fair value adjustments on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and realised gain (loss) on fair value through profit and loss investments and net of cash cost of the IFRS 16 leases. Adjusted Cash from Operations Adjusted cash from operations is a non-GAAP measured defined as cash generated from operations less cash cost of IFRS 16 leases. Management believes this measure represents the operational performance of the Group as well as the effect of leases as one of the key operating components of the Group's business.

Net debt

Net debt is a non-IFRS measure that is defined as cash and cash equivalents less short term and long-term debt (excluding unamortised debt arrangement costs and IFRS 16 liabilities).

Management believes that net debt is a useful indicator of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital structure because it indicates the level of borrowings after taking account of cash and cash equivalents within the Group's business that could be utilised to pay down the outstanding borrowings. Management believes that net debt can assist securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate the Group. Net debt and similar measures are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. Accordingly, caution is required in comparing net debt as reported by the Group to net debt of other companies.

Average revenue per operating rig

ARPOR is a non-financial measure defined as the monthly average drilling specific revenue for the period divided by the monthly average active operating rigs. Drilling specific revenue excludes revenue generated from shot crew, a blast hole service that does not require a rig to perform but forms part of drilling. Management uses this indicator to assess the operational performance across the board on a period-by-period basis even if there is an increase or decrease in rig utilisation.
