Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.3 of the financial statements which indicates that as at 31 December 2024, both the group and company incurred net losses, had net current liabilities and negative retained earnings. The ability of both the group and company to continue as going concerns is dependent on a number of factors. The most significant of these is that the directors continue to procure funding for the ongoing operations of both the group and company, however as noted the directors have continued to obtain significant funding since the year end. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group and company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. As at the year end both the group and company incurred net losses, had net current liabilities and negative retained earnings. The directors have satisfied themselves that the group is in a sound financial position and that it has access to sufficient borrowing facilities to meet its foreseeable cash requirements. The directors are not aware of any material changes that may adversely impact the group. The directors are also not aware of any material non-compliance with statutory or regulatory requirements or of any pending changes to legislation which may affect the group or company. The group has initiated a recovery plan to improve the group's going concern position by implementing various strategies like debt restructuring, recapitalisation, improvement on the company's organisational structure by recruiting key personnel, enhanced financial controls and sound financial projections. It should be noted that on top of the funds raised from shares issues since the year end, as per note 23, a further 1,581,000 shares have been subscribed for raising another $5,553,500. This has enabled the group to significantly reduce its liabilities, as well as well as having a significant boost in its cash flow as the mines become fully operational.

| Current ratio | — | — | — | 0.26x | 0.27x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | -6.63x | -2.76x |
Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.
