Half-yearly report notes
1. Half-yearly report
This interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2026.
The information relating to the six months periods to 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025 are unaudited.
The information relating to the year ended 31 December 2025 is extracted from the audited financial statements of the Company which have been filed at Companies House and on which the auditors issued an unqualified audit report.
2. Basis of accounting
The interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies and practices that are consistent with those adopted in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, although the information does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
This interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this interim report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Company will report again for the full year to 31 December 2026.
Going concern
The Company’s day to day financing is from its available cash resources.
The Company is confident of raising funds and disposing of non-core assets to execute its’ strategy of completing a reverse takeover in a timely manner.
For the reasons outlined above, the Directors are satisfied that the Company will be able to meet its current and future liabilities, and continue trading, for the foreseeable future and, in any event, for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approving this interim report. The preparation of these interim financial statements on a going concern basis is therefore considered to remain appropriate.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in the Company's 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.
Intangible assets
Exploration and development costs
All costs associated with mineral exploration and investments are capitalised on a project-by-project basis, pending determination of the feasibility of the project. Costs incurred include appropriate technical and administrative expenses but not general overheads. If an exploration project is successful, the related expenditures will be transferred to mining assets and amortised over the estimated life of economically recoverable reserves on a unit of production basis.
Intangible assets
Exploration and development costs
Where a licence is relinquished or a project abandoned, the related costs are written off in the period in which the event occurs. Where the Group maintains an interest in a project, but the value of the project is considered to be impaired, a provision against the relevant capitalised costs will be raised.
The recoverability of all exploration and development costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
