Xtract Resources Plc (AIM: XTR), the exploration and development company with projects in Zambia, Morocco and Australia, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“Period”).
Highlights
Operational
Amghas
- A 10-year mining licence was granted for the historic Amghas antimony mine in Morocco, supporting the Company's near-term production strategy.
- Underground access, mapping and sampling progressed at Amghas, alongside the completion of the EIA and feasibility study.
- Sufficient immediately available ore was identified at Amghas to warrant an interim on-site gravity plant, with construction progressing post-period end.
- Amghas flotation testwork indicated potential to produce a concentrate exceeding 55% Stibnite (being the primary mineral source of Antimony) and remove lead into a separate saleable product, test-work continues post-period end ahead of flotation plant development.
Silverking
- A new joint venture was agreed between Xtract Resources, Oval Mining Ltd and Cooperlemon Consultancy Ltd in relation to the development of the Silverking copper-silver mine. Under the agreement Xtract will acquire a 35% share in the operation.
- Production commenced post-period end with mixed oxide-sulphide ore being processed through the joint venture flotation plant.
- Analysis of the recent Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling date revealed high-grade copper mineralisation, including a high-grade bornite-rich core and mineralisation that remains open at depth. A decline is being designed to access the high-grade mineralisation at depth which will be informed by drilling.
- £2.1 million was raised post-period end to fund further mine development at Amghas and Silverking.
- A decision was made to streamline the project portfolio to focus resources on Amghas and Silverking, resulting in the relinquishment of the Western Foreland and Chilibwe licences.
- Exploration, resource estimation and advanced processing studies continue across priority licences to develop & extend future resource growth.

Operational Overview
Xtract continued to advance its portfolio of copper, silver and antimony projects, with a strategic focus on progressing the Wildstone Antimony Project in Morocco and the Silverking Copper-Silver Project in Zambia towards near-term production. Significant progress was made in mine development, metallurgical testwork and project evaluation, while the Company streamlined its portfolio to concentrate resources on its priority assets.
A 10-year mining licence was granted covering the historical Amghas antimony mine which marked a significant milestone towards near-term production. Underground mine access, geological mapping and sampling progressed, alongside the completion of an environmental impact assessment and feasibility study. Exploration identified sufficient immediately available antimony ore to support the construction of an interim on-site gravity plant, while a phase-1 flotation study returned positive results supporting the potential development of a centralised flotation facility.
At Silverking in Zambia Xtract entered a new joint venture concerning the development of mining at the historic Silverking copper-silver mine. Production commenced post period-end with the operation processing mixed oxide-sulphide ore through the joint venture's flotation plant and further reagent trials underway to optimise concentrate quality and recovery. Drilling and deposit modelling continue to support the potential for deeper, high-grade mineralisation including the evaluation of a decline to access the high-grade core.
Post-period-end saw the advancement of the gravity plant, continued optimisation of the flotation testwork and the preparation of mine infrastructure at Amghas. The Company also announced a £2.1 million capital raising in August 2026 to support continued development at Amghas and Silverking, including resource expansion drilling, production working capital, plant optimisation and further development studies.
The flotation testwork at Amghas demonstrated the potential to produce a high-grade antimony concentrate exceeding 55% Stibnite (Sb), while successfully removing lead from the antimony stream to create a separate saleable product. The testwork further highlighted that grind size had little effect on the final saleable product supporting a lower cost operation. Together the results provide a technical basis for advancing the conceptual design of a future flotation plant.
The Company continued to evaluate its wider portfolio, including the Bushranger Copper-Gold Project in Australia. In Zambia, the decision was taken to relinquish the Western Foreland & Chilibwe licences in order to focus resources on priority development assets. The Manica Gold Project in Mozambique continued to progress through the previously announced sale agreement and staged payment arrangements.
Morocco
Wildstone Antimony Project, Morocco
Xtract holds an 80% interest in the Wildstone Antimony Project with local partners Wildstone SARL. The project encompasses a large land holding in central Morocco and is prospective for antimony and copper mineralisation. The priority licences are located within the Fez-Meknes and Beni Mellal-Khenifra directorates of northern Morocco, and situated within the strategic "Antimony Triangle," an area bounded by the cities of Rabat, Fez, and Khenifra.
Of all the licences the Amghas mine has so far been prioritised for ground clearing, geological mapping and geochemical sampling, and work to date has identified an extensive underground development. High-grade antimony mineralisation in the region 15-40% Sb is clearly identifiable at Amghas which offers significant potential considering historical mining relied on extraction by hand. There is substantial potential at Amghas for bulk production that includes relatively lower grade, disseminated wall rock mineralisation.
Wildstone Work Completed – Amghas Mine Development
On the 2 June 2026 it was announced that a mining licence encompassing the historical Amghas antimony mine had been granted for a period of 10-years, marking a significant step toward near-term production at Amghas.
The reinstatement of the Amghas mine progressed well during the reporting period and included the development of underground mine access & mapping and sampling of underground galleries and drives, as well as the completion of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and feasibility study.
The exploration work completed indicated the presence of sufficient immediately available antimony ore to warrant the construction of an interim on-site gravity plant to process run of mine ore for which work progresses post year-end.
A phase-1 flotation study returned excellent results towards the future development of a centralised flotation facility. It is the intention that this facility will process ores from both Company-generated mining operations, as well as handle supply from other local small-scale miners. To this effect the company is actively building partnerships with local operators, building on the experience and knowledge of Moroccan partners in the sourcing, processing, and trade of antimony ores, whilst continuing to engage with relevant ministries and local landowners.
On-the-ground exploration work continues to highlight further potential, including the delineation of several high-priority targets. Both surface and underground mapping has identified vein systems that extend beyond the immediate historic mine workings, and in some instances higher-grade Amghas veins connect to other historical workings located several kilometres away.
It was further reported that an in-house resource estimate is being developed at Amghas and that a similar clean-up operation is underway at the neighbouring Ighoud mine.
The other licences in the joint venture have been subject to initial reconnaissance exploration focussed on prioritising areas with antimony potential and work continues to evaluate and prioritise targets.
Wildstone Work Completed Post-Reporting Period
Significant advances were made towards near-term production at Amghas post reporting period, including mine site preparation, construction of the on-site gravity plant and progress to a Phase 2 metallurgy study to evaluate the potential for a future flotation operation completed by an in-country specialist.
Mine Readiness & Gravity Plant Construction
The site is being prepared by a local contractor and includes the;
- Improvement of haul road access,
Cleaning, inspection and safety preparation of existing underground mine workings,
Removal & stockpiling of accessible mineralised material for future processing,
Implementation of internationally accepted mine operating standards, and,
Construction of benches designed to accommodate the planned gravity processing plant.
The on-site gravity plant is also being progressed using a local contractor and a final site visit was undertaken on 25 July ahead of the purchase of an impact crusher for incorporation into the plant. Shaking tables are expected to be used to produce an antimony-silver gravity concentrate for sale and a jig will be introduced into the flowsheet once a suitable unit has been fabricated and shipped to Morocco.
The gravity plant is expected to provide early cash flow and a practical proof of concept while the Company progresses the environmental permitting, construction and commissioning requirements for a flotation plant. Upon commissioning of the flotation plant, the gravity plant will be relocated to other licences held and operated by Wildstone to provide an interim processing solution and to treat and upgrade low-grade antimony-bearing ore sold to the Company by regional artisanal mining groups.
Advanced Phase-2 Metallurgy Study
Advanced metallurgical test-work is underway using Afrilab Group, a Moroccan-based specialist in mineral analysis, with the aim of optimising antimony recovery and final concentrate quality through the use of flotation technology.
Results so far have been positive and have resulted in a significant improvement to the antimony concentrate grade, potential reduced operating costs and the removal of deleterious elements from the final concentrate, alleviating risk associated with penalty elements.
The flotation study tested the impacts of pH, depressants, collectors, desliming and hydrometallurgy on representative ore from Amghas. The results indicate that Amghas has the potential to routinely produce a high-grade antimony concentrate exceeding the required 55% Sb threshold. In addition, lead present in the host mineralisation was successfully removed and converted into a separate saleable product using alkaline leaching, reducing the impact of penalties in the final concentrate.
Of further significance, it was demonstrated that ore grind size had little effect on antimony recovery in the final concentrate, supporting a lower grinding intensity and in turn reduced operating costs.
Taken together the results indicate sufficient confidence for a cost effective and risk reduced operation which supports the technical basis for the development of a flotation plant at Amghas. Enough confidence exists to advance a conceptual flowsheet and float plant design and prepare estimated capital and operating costs based on the Company's preferred throughput rate for future Amghas mine production.
Test work will continue to optimise antimony recovery, including the use of pH to activate antimony, additional desliming and increased alkaline leach residence time. Studies will take place in a pilot plant located in Rabat, Morocco and managed by the Afrilab Group.
Zambia
Silverking Cu - Ag Project, Mumbwa District, Zambia
Silverking Background
The project comprises exploration licence 26673-HQ-LEL which covers an area of 82km2 in the Mumbwa District, Central Province of Zambia, a region considered highly prospective for Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) discovery.
Established around the 1890s, the historic Silverking silver mine was known as one of the first mines in Zambia however strategic exploration did not recommence until 2012, when Glencore International (operating locally as Mopani Copper Mines) identified high-grade copper and silver intercepts at the main Silverking breccia pipe.
A first Phase of drilling completed in 2025 significantly extended the mineral resources at Silverking, establishing a significant, high-grade copper deposit. Consistent intervals of high-grade copper mineralisation were returned over downhole widths of up to 25m, and the surface expression of the high-grade copper and silver mineralisation tripled from previous estimates to over 260m. As previously reported, best intercepts from the first phase of drilling include; 24.1m at5.99% Cu and 40.2 g/t Agfrom 111.0m in SKIDD010, 29.70m at4.15%Cu and 42.9 g/t Agfrom 93.0m in SKIDD003 & 54.1 m at 3.18% Cu and 40.3 g/t Agfrom 56.9m in SKIDD002.
Phase 2 drilling identified a second mineralised body sub-parallel to the main Silverking deposit at Kopje which returned several intervals of visible copper mineralisation and remains a priority target for future investigation.
Work Completed - Silverking Mine Development
A new Joint Venture concerning the development of copper mining operations at the Silverking small scale mining licence 34544-HQ-SML was agreed between partners Xtract Resources Plc, Oval Mining Limited (the licence holder), and Cooperlemon Consultancy Plc (project stakeholder). Under the terms of the agreement the parties will exploit the high-grade material identified in the main Silverking breccia pipe and surrounding areasand Xtract will acquire a 35% interest in the operation for a cash consideration of US$1,500,000.
The mining agreement is additional to the established joint venture between the same partners concerning large scale exploration licence 26730-HQ-LEL and brings further opportunity to advance surrounding targets on both licences.
It was announced post-period end on the 9 July 2026 that production had commenced at Silverking with mixed oxide-sulphide ore being fed through the joint ventures flotation plant.
Silverking Deposit Morphology
Analysis of recent drill data identified a high-grade bornite-rich vertical plug extending between 60m and 140m depth, surrounded by a 200m by 110m chalcopyrite-rich envelope projected to about 170m depth. Two substantial chalcocite-bornite vein systems were also identified cross-cutting the main orebody that are potentially of mineable widths.
Mineralisation remains open at depth and intersections such as 7.76% Cu and 63.5g/t Ag in hole SKIDD018 from 228m depth support planned deeper drilling to approximately 350m depth.
Post-Reporting Period Commencement of Production
It was reported on 9 July 2026 that production commenced at Silverking with Oval Mining remaining as operator. Mixed oxide-sulphide ore is currently being processed through the Joint Venture’s flotation plant and Oval are targeting an optimised throughput rate of 28 tons per hour. Run-of-mine grade from the upper section of the orebody is currently between 0.80% and 1.1% Cu and 11 to 68 g/t Ag.
Sufficient sulphide is present within the near-surface mineralised section of the orebody to support direct flotation and the oxide component is also proving treatable through the addition of reagents, making the run-of-mine feed amenable to flotation. Further reagent trials are underway with the objective of stabilising concentrate grade, which is currently fluctuating between 20% and 35% Cu, at an optimised target grade of 28% Cu.
A decline is under evaluation based on in-house deposit modelling to access the high-grade core at depth and final mine planning will be informed by upcoming drilling.

Xtract Resources PLC
Notes to the interim financial information
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2026
1.General information
Xtract Resources PLC (“Xtract”) is a company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The Company’s registered address is 1st Floor, 24 Ives Street, London, SW3 2ND. The Company’s ordinary shares are traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company invests and engages in the management, financing and development of early-stage resource assets.
2.Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Xtract prepares its annual financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and in conformity with the Companies Act 2006.
The consolidated interim financial information for the period ended 30 June 2026 presented herein has been neither audited nor reviewed. The information for the period ended 31 December 2025 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 but has been derived from those accounts. The auditor’s report on those accounts was not qualified and did not contain statements under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The Interim financial information is presented in pound sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£‘000) unless otherwise stated.
The interim consolidated financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2026 were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 September 2026.
Going concern
As at 30 June 2026 the Group held cash balances of £0.52million. An operating loss has been reported for the Group.
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.
As at the date of the release of the consolidated financial information, the Group had received the 11th quarterly payment of US$0.75m from the proceeds of the sale of the Manica Asset. The Group has continued with its exploration activities in Zambia and Morrocco.
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, Morocco and Australia until September 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 consolidated financial information and therefore the consolidated financial information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the going concern basis of preparation of the consolidated financial information is not appropriate.
On this basis the Board believes that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial information on the going concern basis.
Changes in accounting policy
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, except for the changes arising from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements detailed below.
There are no amendments or interpretations to accounting standards that would have a material impact on the financial statements.

Australia
In November 2020, the Company acquired the Bushranger copper-gold project (“Bushranger Project”) which comprises of four exploration licences totalling 501km2, located in eastern central New South Wales, Australia. The Bushranger Project hosts the Racecourse deposit, a JORC (2012) compliant inferred resource estimated at 71Mt @ 0.44% Cu and 0.064g/t Au using a 0.3% Cu cut-off.
Morrocco
Wildstone Antimony Project The Company holds an 80% interest in the Wildstone Antimony Project with local partners Wildstone SARL. The project encompasses a large land holding in central Morocco and is prospective for antimony and copper mineralisation. The priority licences are located within the Fez-Meknes and Beni Mellal-Khenifra directorates of northern Morocco, and situated within the strategic “Antimony Triangle,” an area bounded by the cities of Rabat, Fez, and Khenifra.
Zambia – Silverking Project
The project comprises exploration licence 26673-HQ-LEL which covers an area of 81.7km2 in the Mumbwa District, Central Province of Zambia. The licence is considered highly prospective for copper discovery associated with the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) model.
Established around the 1890s, the historic Silverking silver mine was known as one of the first mines in Zambia, however detailed production and operation figures are not documented. Local artisanal mining continued in the area, but strategic exploration did not recommence until 2012, when high-grade copper and silver intercepts were identified at the main Silverking breccia pipe.

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$500,000, 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$1,000,000 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 May 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; l 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 impaired £287K of cost incurred on the Western Foreland to date.
Wildstone SARL Joint-Venture Agreement, Morocco
On 26 February 2025 Xtract announced the acquisition of an initial 50% shareholding in Moroccan based minerals exploration and development company Wildstone SARL, who are actively developing small-scale mining opportunities in Morocco with a prominence in antinomy, copper and silver. Post year-end on the 15 July 2025 Xtract announced it had increased its interest in Wildstone to 80%, conditional on the agreed phased expenditure of not less than US$900,000 over the initial three-year period. The granting of the additional 30% equity reflects the commitment by both parties to develop a significant antinomy business in Morocco.
Wildstone has 20 non-contiguous licences located in Central Morocco and holds the rights for the exploration and extraction of copper, silver and antimony.The licences are valid until October 2026, pending any future renewals, and has been limited exploration to date.
Dump Material, Zambian Copperbelt
On 6 February 2025, Xtract announced an agreement to purchase dump material from several sites situated in the Zambian Copperbelt, for a consideration of US$300,000 to be funded from existing cash resources. It is the intention to conduct trial test work and evaluation of the material that is valued at US$1.15 per tonne and will be recovered from the sellers’ sites in Zambia by Xtract. 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 Xtract.

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.
