Mike Hodgson, CEO of Serabi, commented
Gold sales for the first half of 2026 totalled 21,348 ounces, representing a 6% increase on the same period in 2025. Whilst this operational performance was in-line with budget, when combined with an average realised gold price of $4,687 per ounce, resulted in EBITDA of $44.4 million for the period, a 69% increase over the same period a year ago.
Serabi ended the period with a cash balance of $65.7 million, an increase from $49.2 million at the end of Q4-2025. For the 6 month period, cash flow from operations of $40.1 million was offset by cash flow from investing activities of $(18.8) million as well as cash flow from financing activities of $(5.5) million. Factors impacting the cash generated for Q2-2026 were the lower realised gold prices in Q2 of $4,490 per ounce (vs Q1-2026 of $4,926 ounce), development of the Galena and Serra South zones at Coringa, and approximately $4 million of one-time G&A charges. With brownfield exploration activity continuing in 2026 with another 30,000m drill programme underway across both Palito Complex and Coringa, the Company is positioning itself for future resource growth and long-term value creation. The balance sheet remains debt free as the debt with Banco Santander was repaid in Q1-2026.
Cash Cost of $2,010 and AISC of $2,682 are higher than Q1-2026, largely driven by the continued ramp up at Coringa and the one-time G&A charges. With the Meio zone now at commercial production, costs associated with mining the Meio zone are included in cash cost and AISC.
As the Company reported in the Q2-2026 operational update, production guidance is set at 53,000 plus ounces of gold. This target has been based on one of either of two assumptions. Firstly, the GUIA licence issued for Coringa from the ANM (Ministry of Mines) under which the Company is currently permitted to transport annually 100,000 tonnes of ore to Palito was to be increased to 200,000 tonnes. Alternatively, the guidance target also assumed receipt of the full mining concession by Q4-2026, thereby lifting all tonnage constraints at Coringa. In both scenarios, the Company would be able to transport much greater volumes of ore in Q4-2026 and utilise the soon to be commissioned fourth ball mill at Palito.
With respect to the GUIA licence, the Company is continuing production at Coringa under the current 3-year GUIA licence of 100,000 tonnes annually which as previously reported, expires on 29 January 2027, or earlier if the annual limit of tonnage is exceeded. The Board of Serabi is currently confident that the GUIA term will either be extended and / or the annual tonnage limit extended shortly by the ANM to avoid any temporary production interruption at Coringa in Q4-2026. The Company is making highly encouraging progress with the ANM to achieve this, although there is obviously no certainty yet on timing and a further update will be provided in mid-October in our Q3-2026 operational release.
With respect to the Full Mining Concession, the two fundamental approvals required are in their final stages. The approval of the Indigenous Component Study (ECI) is now very close, and it only remains for the Federal Agency for Indigenous Lands (FUNAI) Board of Directors to approve the study. The FUNAI Legal and Technical departments are recommending approval. We still anticipate this happening in Q4-2026. In addition, the approval for the change of land use from Agriculture to Mineral Exploitation by the Land Registry (INCRA) is also now in its final stages, which has been technically and legally approved. The final steps are for the Directors of INCRA to approve at the Board level of INCRA. The Board of Serabi also anticipates this happening in Q4-2026. Once these two approvals from FUNAI and INCRA are received, SEMAS can issue Serabi with an Operating Licence.”
Overview of the financial results
In the first half of 2026, the Group has reported revenue and operating costs related to the sale of 21,348 ounces in the period. This compares to sales of 20,515 ounces in the first half of 2025. Reported revenues and costs reflect the ounces sold in each period and as a result total costs for the six-month period are higher than for the corresponding period of 2025.
On 16 January 2026, the Group fully repaid the Banco Santander short-term working capital facility which the Group had previously entered into on 22 January 2025. As a result, at the time of writing, the Group is debt free.

Comparative information has been provided for the unaudited three and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and, where applicable, the audited twelve-month period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2025 annual report.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and the accounting policies are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and those envisaged for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2026.
The interim financial information has not been audited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Whilst the financial information included in this announcement has been compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) this announcement itself does not contain sufficient financial information to comply with IFRS.

The auditor’s report on these accounts was unqualified. The auditor’s report did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

(i) Going concern
At 30 June 2026 the Group held cash of US$65,689k which represents an increase of US$16,466k compared to 31 December 2025.
On 16 January 2026, the Group fully repaid the Banco Santander short-term working capital loan plus interest which the Group had previously entered on 22 January 2025. As a result, at the time of writing, the Group is debt free.
Management prepares, for Board review, regular updates of its operational plans and cash flow forecasts based on their best judgement of the expected operational performance of the Group and using economic assumptions that the Directors consider are reasonable in the current global economic climate. The current plans assume that during 2026 the Group will continue gold production from its Palito Complex operation and current production from the Coringa mine without interruption, assuming that the GUIA licence issued for Coringa from the ANM (Ministry of Mines) under which the Company is currently permitted to transport annually 100,000 tonnes of ore to Palito is increased to 200,000 tonnes or receipt of the full mining concession by Q4-2026, thereby lifting all tonnage constraints at Coringa. Even if neither of these scenarios eventuate, and production is suspended at Coringa, cash flow forecasts show adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Directors will limit the Group’s discretionary expenditures, when necessary, to manage the Group’s liquidity.
The Directors acknowledge that the Group remains subject to operational and economic risks and any unplanned interruption or reduction in gold production or unforeseen changes in economic assumptions may adversely affect the level of free cash flow that the Group can generate on a monthly basis. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that, after taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and the current macroeconomic situation, the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.
