Interim Results for the six months ended 31 December 2025

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Tamar Minerals Plc reported a loss before tax of £141,758 for the six months ended 31 December 2025, primarily due to administrative, corporate, and exploration expenses.

Following a £2.04 million fundraising and acquisition in March 2026, which included a £1.7 million gross equity raise, Tamar Minerals is now well-capitalised to commence drilling at Great Wheal Vor, targeting historical high-grade tin lodes. The company also continues to evaluate further mineral rights acquisitions across the South West of England.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT

Tamar Minerals Plc

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2025

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

I am pleased to present the interim financial report for Tamar Minerals Plc for the six months ended 31 December 2025.

Following the reverse takeover of Godolphin Exploration Limited in May 2025, which transformed the Company into a dedicated tin and copper explorer focused on the historic mining districts of Devon and Cornwall, the Group has continued to integrate operations and advance planning for our key UK assets.

During the period we maintained our exploration portfolio, with ongoing costs reflected in the reported loss before tax of £141,758. This figure primarily comprises administrative, corporate and exploration expenses incurred as we position the Company for active fieldwork. Our Australian exploration and evaluation assets were £3,043,973 at period end (after foreign exchange translation effects). We continue to evaluate monetisation opportunities on the Specimen Hill and Mount Cassidy projects, including the expected completion of the White Energy earn-in post period end.

In March 2026, we successfully closed a £2.04 million fundraising and acquisition of mineral rights that we previously only had under option. This comprised a £1.7 million gross equity raise together with the acquisition of Godolphin Mining (UK) Limited. The proceeds, net of costs and after settling certain director loans through share subscriptions, provide the Company with a strong working-capital position and the resources required to execute our near-term exploration plans.

With this capital now in place, we intend to commence drilling at Great Wheal Vor later this year, targeting the depth extensions of the high-grade Main Lode. Great Wheal Vor was one of Cornwall’s premier tin producers in the 19th century. Mining ceased in 1878 due to the lode dipping into adjacent mineral rights that are now under our control. Grades at the base of the main lode were estimated historically to have been 3m to 5m wide at circa 3.5% Sn. We will be aiming to test the historical thesis with the upcoming drill programme.

This is a programme I have wanted to drill for many years, and with recent strength in tin prices coupled with strong fundamentals and growing Government and global interest in critical metals in the South West of England, the timing could not be better. We continue to evaluate further mineral rights acquisitions across the region, supported by our proprietary 3D model of over 338 historic mines, which assists in prioritising targets and building a pipeline for future growth. We remain confident in the long-term potential of a hub-and-spoke mining model in the South West, leveraging nearby processing capacity at projects such as Hemerdon and South Crofty.

The Board and I would like to extend our thanks to long term and new shareholders for their support through the recent capital raise and look forward to providing regular updates as we mobilise the drill rig and progress our exploration activities in 2026.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Tamar Minerals Plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The consolidated entity (the “Group”) consists of Tamar Minerals Plc (Tamar and or the “Company”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the six months ended 31 December 2025. The principal activity of the Group during the financial period was mineral exploration.

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“the interim financial statements”) of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2025 and are presented in Sterling which is the Company’s presentational currency. These interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU) and on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as applied in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report and statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The current Group was formed through a Reverse Takeover (“RTO”) acquisition by the Company of Godolphin Exploration Limited on 12 th May 2025.  

Comparatives consist of the unaudited six months ended 31 December 2024 compiled from the accounting records of the accounting acquirer (Godolphin Exploration Limited) which were not previously published, and the audited 15 months ended 30 June 2025, as presented in the audited annual financial statements.

Comparatives are presented as a continuation of the accounting acquirer using the legal parent’s (Tamar Minerals Plc) equity structure. The reverse acquisition reserve at 31 December 2024 differs from that reported at the RTO date in the 2025 annual financial statements due to movements in the accounting acquirer’s share capital and premium between 1 July 2024 and the RTO date, and other presentation reclassifications.

The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The Directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of these interim financial statements as the Company is in a position to meet all its liabilities as they fall due following the completion of a £1.7m gross fundraise in March 2026.

The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2025 were approved by the Board on 27 March 2026.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure represents capitalised expenditure less any impairment on the Group’s exploration licences in Australia held by its wholly owned subsidiary, Signature Gold Pty Ltd, being the Specimen Hill and Mount Cassidy projects.

The ultimate recoupment of balances carried forward in relation to areas of interest still in the exploration or valuation phase is dependent on successful development, and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale of the respective areas. The Directors have taken into consideration a number of factors when assessing the potential for impairment of these assets, including the likelihood of monetising these projects through existing and potential agreements with third-parties, and have concluded that no impairment is necessary at the balance sheet date.
