What drove revenue

Raglan alluvial gold project (Queensland), acquired 30 Dec 2025

Management expects Raglan to join initial gold production in 2026; Phase 1 mine plan defined 10 Feb 2026 targeting ~938 oz recoverable gold, illustrative in-situ value ~A$7m at prevailing prices. Infrastructure includes a near-new 60 tph gravity plant, gold room, water and fuel. No revenue was earned in FY2025.

And

July-August 2025 drilling of almost 400 holes across Lower Patterson, Windmill and Upper Kariboe Creek; 19 samples above 0.15 g/b.c.m; wash-plant trial average 0.35 g/b.c.m; gravity test recovery 91.7%. Next step is securing a mining lease; production is modelled at under half of current gold prices.

Administrative overheads

Other administrative expenses £869,552 (2024: £1,071,671) are the largest contributor to the £1,299,504 loss; the Group has no revenue to absorb them.

What management said

Expect Raglan to be joined this year in initial gold production by the nearby and bigger Blue Mountain project; expect to begin generating cash from gold production at Raglan and in due course Blue Mountain.

After the year end

1 Oct 2025: issued 325,000,000 new ordinary shares at 0.20p raising £650,000 gross; 6 Oct 2025: a further 50,000,000 shares at 0.20p under an associated retail offer (total gross £750,000 before expenses).

The dividend

No dividend proposed for FY2025 (FY2024: nil). Directors state that after very significant disposal proceeds they would consider distributions to shareholders, subject to distributable reserves. Remuneration is partly paid in shares by policy.

page 25
Going concern and the audit

Directors adopt going concern basis, citing cash of £324,672 at 30 Sep 2025 and £1,515,231 at 31 Jan 2026 after the October 2025 and January 2026 placings, and planned production from Raglan and Blue Mountain. Auditor PKF Littlejohn LLP issued an unmodified opinion and reported no material uncertainty related to going concern for at least twelve months from the approval date (4 Mar 2026). Key audit matters: valuation and recoverability of intangible exploration assets (£4,932,299) and recoverability of intercompany loans (£6,125,840). Group materiality £79,500.

The risks it names first
  • Exploration risk - exploration is speculative; no certainty that projects can be economically exploited; costs written off if prospects abandoned.p.20
  • Development risk - delays from weather, licence or permit availability or changes, commissioning and financing difficulties may render projects unfeasible.p.21
  • Commodity price risk - spot and forward gold, silver and antimony prices affect project viability at any stage; Blue Mountain and Raglan economics are highly price-sensitive.p.21
  • Resource risk - resource and reserve estimates carry uncertainty; no reserves are declared.p.21
