Audited Results for the year ended 31 March 2026

 

Galileo (AIM: GLR), the exploration and development mining company, announces its audited results for the year ended 31 March 2026. Extracts of the audited results are set out below.

 

Highlights for the period under review

 

  • The year has marked solid progress for the Company reflecting a ramp up of exploration and tangible progress towards, subject to funding, medium term mine development for priority assets.  
  • Phase 1 target generation, including mapping, sampling, geophysics and petrology completed at Ferber delineated the potential for the property to host a potentially large & fertile copper-porphyry mineralised system and associated skarn.  Four priority porphyry- and skarn-type drill targets have been established as the project enters the second exploratory drilling phase.
  • The Ferber project is being developed under a royalty agreement with local exploration company Bronco Creek Exploration (BCE). Bronco has extensive knowledge of Nevada-Utah mineral deposits and have so far been granted a 0.33% perpetual Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty for the delivery of the Phase 1 targeting report.  Exploration drilling at Ferber is due to commence in the next reporting period.
  • Following successful re-evaluation of existing drilling data at the Kalahari Copperbelt in Botswana, a follow-up programme of 4 reverse circulation drill holes intersected a broad zone of copper mineralisation within the prospective D’Kar formation siltstones, on Prospecting Licence PL253. Laboratory assays confirmed copper enhancement over a 49m interval from 66m downhole, including a peak interval of 5m at 0.34% Cu from 79m downhole and a highest 1m interval of 0.84% Cu.
  • The discovery of copper mineralisation beneath tertiary Kalahari sand cover is very encouraging and confirms the prospectivity of emerging exploration models being generated by explorers on neighbouring licences. Prospecting Licence PL253 was successfully renewed for a further two years in the reporting period.
  • Subsequent to the year end, Galileo entered into a conditional sale agreement with Sandfire Resources regarding the sale of Prospecting Licences PL039 and PL040 in the Kalahari Copperbelt. The sale which has completed  provides Galileo US$3 million in upfront cash consideration together with the potential for additional contingent payments of up to US$80 million linked to future resource development.
  • The technical and commercial appraisal of the Luansobe project continued during the reporting period with the aim of advancing several development opportunities with interested partners. Post year-end the project became the subject of legal proceedings following the removal of the project's mining licences from the Zambian Mining Cadastre and revocation of the licenses (see announcements of 14 July and 21 August 2026). The Company continues to support its local partner in seeking a resolution to the matter as well as value the prospectivity offered by the projects open pit, shallow underground and deeper underground resources.
  • A new collaboration agreement was established with Jubilee Metals in relation to the Molefe Copper Mine in Zambia. The agreement aims to ramp up production at Molefe, including the completion of a JORC-compliant resource and installation of on-site processing facilities. Accelerated mine development is already well underway, including increased Run-Of-Mine (ROM) to Jubilee’s Sable refinery.
  • Previous positive results from scout exploratory drilling at the Western Foreland in Zambia continues to inform the appraisal of the licences in preparation for continued exploration.
  • Work at the Zambian Kashitu and Shinganda licences continues to evaluate the potential for near-term production within an evolving global climate. At Shinganda work continues to progress the development of near-surface copper mineralisation already identified on the licence and at Kashitu local stakeholder engagement continues to establish the potential to realise value held within surface zinc mineralisation.
  • Significant gold and lithium potential remains on the Zimbabwean Bulawayo & Kamativi projects, collectively known as the Sinamatella licences. The company continues to advance discussions with the Zimbabwean authorities regarding the renewal of the licences.

Chairman’s report

Dear Shareholder,

The year under review has been a very active one, reflecting the strength and quality of the portfolio that Galileo has assembled. Our primary focus on copper and gold has placed a number of our assets firmly into the spotlight at a time when both commodities are attracting considerable strategic and investor interest.

As has often been the case in the mining industry, strong commodity prices and increasingly strategic mineral positions can bring with them competing interests and, on occasion, claims from parties asserting historic or other rights. Galileo is not entirely immune from such circumstances. The Board remains vigilant in protecting the Company’s interests and, where questions arise, seeks to resolve them constructively while continuing to progress the considerable opportunities across the wider portfolio.

The Luansobe copper asset in Zambia, situated close to the Mufulira Mine complex, has been the subject of various claims by third parties, which have been duly contested by the Company. At the time of writing, the Company continues to maintain and protect its legal rights while actively engaging with relevant parties with a view to achieving an amicable resolution regarding the future of the project.

The potential of the Shinganda Project in Zambia is now becoming increasingly well defined and it is our opinion that this project has the potential to support a small mining operation, with an initial focus on oxide and mixed copper-gold mineralisation. We continue to examine a number of alternatives with the objective of determining the optimum route to maximise shareholder value from this project.

In Zimbabwe, our gold and lithium claims remain intact while we await advice regarding the successful renewal of our exploration licences. We remain confident that the EPOs will be renewed and that meaningful exploration can recommence on these three important licences.

Importantly, sentiment towards lithium has improved following the significant correction experienced by the sector in previous periods. Lithium prices have shown signs of recovery from their lows and the longer‑term fundamentals continue to be supported by growth in battery storage, electric vehicles and the broader electrification of the global economy. Against this improving backdrop, we believe our Zimbabwe lithium interests retain considerable strategic relevance and warrant further exploration once the necessary licence renewals are received.

Towards the end of the period, we entered into an agreement with Sandfire Resources, the Australian copper and gold producer, whereby its wholly owned subsidiary agreed to acquire the interests containing Botswana licences PL39 and PL40 for an upfront consideration of US$3 million, payable on completion.

Following satisfactory due diligence and the satisfaction of the principal conditions precedent, the transaction has now completed.

Importantly, the transaction does not end Galileo’s economic exposure to exploration success on these licences. The agreement incorporates future investment obligations together with a potential success payment to Galileo of between US$20 million and US$80 million, dependent upon the scale of any qualifying copper ore reserve ultimately established. This provides Galileo with the prospect of substantial additional value should Sandfire achieve exploration success, without Galileo being required to fund that future exploration programme itself.

Our remaining Botswana licence, PL253, is well positioned within the Kalahari Copper Belt and displays clear indications of copper prospectivity. We intend to pursue this opportunity actively during the current reporting year.

During the year and subsequent to the balance sheet date, we have undertaken a considerable amount of exploration on our Ferber licences in the United States, with highly encouraging results. We have identified evidence of both skarn and porphyry‑style mineralisation, which we intend to assess further as soon as reasonably practicable.

We are working with Bronco Creek, an experienced American group whose business model is based on generating future royalty streams from successful project development. Bronco Creek has agreed to provide local on‑site management of the exploration programme in exchange for royalty participation which would become effective  should  exploration  ultimately result in an operating mine.

We are particularly excited by the prospects at Ferber and intend to commence drilling as soon as reasonably possible, subject to drill‑rig availability, and in any event our present intention is to drill before the end of the first quarter of 2027. The project is situated close to the Nevada-Utah border in a region where a number of significant discoveries have historically been made.

The increasing strategic imperative for the United States to identify and develop domestic sources of copper and other critical minerals has also created a considerably more supportive environment for exploration and mine development. Regulatory initiatives designed to shorten permitting lead times and encourage domestic mineral development provide a particularly favourable backdrop against which to advance Ferber.

In Zambia, we have undertaken desktop studies and limited exploration at Licence 28001 in the Northwest and intend to commence a drilling programme following the 2027 rainy season. Drill targets have been identified from geochemical surveys together with coincident regional‑scale structures of the type known to host gold mineralisation elsewhere in the region.

At Molefe, we have fulfilled our obligations regarding the Joint Venture and Phase 1, while accelerated mine development is well underway with the objective of supporting future on‑site processing. We look forward to updating shareholders as mine development advances and the joint venture moves into its next phase.

The Kashitu licence in Zambia is likely to result in a participation arrangement with local groups whose objective is to recover zinc from residues generated by previous mining activity. Discussions in this regard are progressing.

The environment for the junior mining industry has improved considerably during the period under review and we believe this more positive backdrop can continue, particularly for copper.

The Board remains encouraged by the fundamentals of the copper market. Demand continues to be supported by electrification, renewable energy, electricity grids, data centres and the wider development of artificial intelligence infrastructure. At the same time, insufficient new mine capacity is being developed worldwide and bringing major new copper mines into production remains increasingly difficult, expensive and time‑consuming.

Western governments are recognising the strategic importance of securing domestic supplies of copper and other critical metals and are responding with initiatives intended to encourage exploration, permitting and mine development. China, however, has spent many years establishing positions throughout the copper supply chain, including mining, processing and refining. In many respects, the West is now attempting to catch a train that has already left the station.

Although short‑term commodity price volatility is inevitable, the Board believes that the underlying supply and demand fundamentals for copper remain compelling. This is precisely the environment for which Galileo has been positioning itself.

Our portfolio provides exposure to copper across several jurisdictions and at different stages of development, from opportunities in Zambia and Botswana to the emerging skarn and porphyry potential at Ferber in the United States. The Sandfire transaction further demonstrates the interest that established copper producers are showing in prospective ground generated and advanced by Galileo.

The growing Western demand for critical metals extends beyond mine supply to processing and refining capacity, an area which has been comparatively neglected and which we believe will become increasingly strategically important.

For Galileo, this changing environment represents opportunity. We have spent considerable time assembling and advancing our portfolio. Some projects will progress through our own activities, others through joint ventures or partnerships and, where appropriate, we will seek to crystallise value through transactions while retaining exposure to future success.

Whilst this has been a very progressive year, the Company continues to face challenges, some of which are an inevitable consequence of holding assets of increasing strategic and commercial interest. Nevertheless, the Board believes the quality and breadth of our portfolio leaves Galileo well positioned to advance its principal projects and work towards delivering shareholder value.

I would like to thank my fellow directors, our employees, consultants and advisers for their considerable effort and guidance during what has been an exceptionally active year.

We enter the new financial year with a strong portfolio, an improving environment for the commodities to which we are exposed and, most importantly, a significant position in copper at a time when the world is increasingly recognising that new copper supply is not optional — it is essential.

We look forward to advancing our existing projects and, where suitable opportunities arise, adding further assets in the increasingly sought‑after field of copper and critical metals.

Yours sincerely,

 

Colin Bird

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities for the year ended 31 March 2026

  • The directors are required in terms of the Companies Act 2006 to maintain adequate accounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the consolidated annual financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the consolidated annual financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the Group as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with the applicable UK laws.
  • The consolidated annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates. The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the Group and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the directors to meet these responsibilities, the board sets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost-effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the Group and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the Group’s business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the Group is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the Group. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the Group endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behavior are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.
  • The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
  • The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. These consolidated annual financial statements support the viability of the company. The directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position at the balance sheet date and for the period ending on the anniversary of the date of approval of these financial statements and they are satisfied that the Group has, or has access to, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 1. Basis of preparation

The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard and the Companies Act 2006. The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets and they are presented in Pound Sterling. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous period.

2.  Basis of consolidation

The consolidated annual financial statements incorporate the annual financial statements of the Company and all entities, including special purpose entities, which are controlled by the Company.

 

Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated annual financial statements from the effective date of acquisition to the effective date of disposal.

 

Adjustments are made when necessary to the annual financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

 

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified and recognised separately from the Group’s interest therein and are recognised within equity. Losses of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling interest even if this results in a debit balance being recognised for non- controlling interest.

Transactions, which result in changes in ownership levels, where the Group has control of the subsidiary both before and after the transaction, are regarded as equity transactions and are recognised directly in the statement of changes in equity.

The difference between the fair value of consideration paid or received and the movement in non-controlling interest for such transactions is recognised in equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

Where a subsidiary is disposed of and a non-controlling shareholding is retained, the remaining investment is measured to fair value with the adjustment to fair value recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the controlling interest.

Going concern

A going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources which include funds received from the sale of its subsidiary in Botswana. These consolidated annual financial statements support the viability of the Company.

The directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position at the balance sheet date and for the period ending on the anniversary of the date of approval of these financial statements, they are satisfied that the Group has or has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

  1. Segmental analysis

 

Business unit

The Company’s investments in subsidiaries and associates, that were operational at year-end, operate in four geographical locations being Zambia, USA, Botswana and South Africa and are organised into one business unit, namely Mineral Assets, from which the Group’s expenses are incurred, and future revenues are expected to be earned. This being the exploration for and extraction of its mineral assets through direct and indirect holdings. The reporting on these investments to the board focuses on the use of funds towards the respective projects and the forecasted profit earnings potential of the projects.

The Company’s investment in Zambia did not contribute to the operating profit or losses and is excluded from the segmental analysis.
