What drove revenue

Restart of tungsten and tin production at Hemerdon Mine (targeted late 2026)

Our long-term strategy is to bring the Hemerdon mine back into production in late 2026

And

Sale of aggregates as secondary product

The Group's business plan also includes the selling of high-quality aggregates that are produced as a secondary product from the mineral processing facility

Andtailwind

Design/process flow improvements from updated Feasibility Study (new crushing/screening front-end, ore sorters, gravity separation modules)

revised plans include a new crushing, screening and ore sorting front-end...to enhance performance, cost and recovery

One-offs in the year

£9.5m charge: Impairment of assets under construction (PP&E) - obsolete front-end crushing circuit design/consulting costs

page 48

The dividend

The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend (2024: £nil)

Going concern and the audit

Material uncertainty related to going concern: the Group had £0.02m cash at 31 March 2025 (and £2.1m at late August 2025), is in the pre-production phase, and is reliant on further funding by late 2025 without which it would be unable to pay liabilities as they fall due. Auditor PKF Francis Clark issued an unmodified (unqualified) audit opinion but drew attention to the material uncertainty relating to going concern; opinion not modified in respect of this matter. Key audit matters: management override of controls, impairment of PP&E/intangibles, restoration provision, and convertible loan notes.
