Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “Further work has been carried out on our copper project in Mazowe District, Zimbabwe. Detailed outcrop mapping and soil geochemistry was carried out.”
- “Still in a legal dispute in respect of a licence area. Received a favourable arbitration award in June 2023, and sought to have it enforced by the High Court. In July 2025 the High Court ruled against this, but on grounds that were obviously wrong. Our legal advisers have appealed against the ruling and are of the opinion that we will succeed.”
- “The Judge who presided over the case is currently under investigation, after making a number of erroneous decisions.”
- “The prospects, on which initial work has been done in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, are still awaiting the formal issue of licences. The government has still not lifted the embargo on the issue of exploration licences.”
