·      Post Period: Metallurgical results at Kalaka confirm that the ore is suitable for CIL and/or heap leaching.

Mark Bolton, Managing Director and CEO of Panthera, commented:

"During the half-year, significant progress was made in the arbitration process for the Bhukia Gold Project. In May 2025, the Claimants' Memorial was filed including the damages claim for US$1.58 billion, net of Indian taxes. Importantly, in October 2025 the arbitral tribunal issued an order containing the procedural calendar that set the Phase One hearing date for December 2026.

The Company also continued to progress its gold assets in West Africa, with a 1,740-metre RC drilling programme at Bido and initiating a feasibility study at Cascades. At 30 September, the Group held a cash balance of approximately $1.93 million and retained access to the US$13.6 million arbitration funding facility. Subsequent to the end of the half-year reporting period, the Company received approximately US$1.2 million from the conversion of warrants. 

More recently, the Company achieved an important milestone with the commencement of cross-trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the USA."

INTERIM REPORT

30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Review of Operations and Activities

Panthera Resources PLC ("Panthera" or the "Company") provides the following update on its Indian and West African operations and other corporate activities during the half-year. Further technical details, including mineral resource estimates, additional information on the arbitration process and funding arrangements, and associated disclaimers are provided in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025, available on the Company's website.

Indian Operations (Bhukia Project)

The Bhukia Project in Rajasthan comprises legal rights that Panthera held through its Australian subsidiary, Indo Gold Pty Ltd ("IGPL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Panthera. The Company's right to a Prospecting Licence was frustrated over an extended period by the Government of Rajasthan ("GoR"), culminating in legislative changes under the MMDR Act that revoked preferential rights. The Company contends that these actions breached the 1999 Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of India on the Promotion and Protection of Investments (the "Treaty"), under which IGPL is seeking damages.

During the half-year, IGPL advanced its arbitration claim against the Republic of India under the Treaty. On 19 May 2025, IGPL filed its Memorial, including a claim for damages amounting to US$1.58 billion (net of Indian taxes). The claim reflects the economic loss arising from the expropriation of Bhukia and associated rights.

On 29 October 2025, the arbitral tribunal issued an order detailing the procedural calendar for Phase One, which includes an initial filing deadline for the Respondent in February 2026 and the Phase One hearing scheduled for December 2026.

To fund the arbitration, IGPL has a US$13.6 million non-recourse financing facility with Litigation Capital Management ("LCM"), a leading global litigation funder. The facility covers all arbitration-related costs. As announced on 8 October 2025, approximately 50% had been drawn based on cash payments made by LCM at that date. At the time of this report, total committed amounts (including accrued amounts) represent approximately US$8.6 million (around 63%), leaving US$5 million available under the facility.

West African Operations

Kalaka Project (Mali)

The Kalaka Project is located over the regional scale Banifin Shear Zone the Birimian terrain of southwestern Mali, between the Morila and Syama gold mines, approximately 200 km southeast of Mali's capital city, Bamako. Panthera holds an 85% interest through its subsidiary Maniger Limited, with the remaining 15% owned by Golden Spear Mali SARL under a carried interest arrangement.

Drilling has confirmed wide zones of gold mineralisation at the K1A prospect, and a maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) was published in February 2025.

The Maiden Statement of Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 2012) for gold at the K1A deposit in the Kalaka Project was reported as: Inferred MRE of 49.9 million tonnes at a grade of 0.50 g/t Au for 803,000 ounces of gold (0.3 g/t Au cut-off)

Statement of Kalaka K1A Deposit Mineral Resources

Category	Domain	Tonnage	Au
		Mt	g/t	Koz
Inferred	Oxide and transitional	6.8	0.50	109
	Sulphide	43.1	0.50	693
Total		49.9	0.50	803
Notes:
·      The Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the JORC code, 2012 Edition ·      Mineral Resources stated using a cut-off of 0.3 g/t Au ·      Mineral Resources have not been constrained within an Economical Pit Shell ·      Figures have been rounded to the appropriate level of precision for the reporting Mineral Resources ·      Due to rounding, some columns or rows may not compute exactly as shown

No drilling or exploration activities were undertaken during the half-year. A bank guarantee of XOF 45,707,439 (US$75,369 at 30 September 2025) was lodged as part of the licence renewal process under the new mining act and regulations. As at the date of this report, the Kalaka licence renewal application remains pending government approval.

After the reporting period, on 21 November 2025, the Company announced metallurgical study results for the Kalaka deposit. Bulk composite samples from recently drilled diamond holes were tested to assess processing options. The results confirmed that the ore is amenable to cyanide leaching, with recoveries summarised below:

Test Type	Average Recovery (%)
CIL Bottle Roll	93.4
Column Leach (90-day, 10mm crush)	76.3

These results indicate that the Kalaka ore is suitable for conventional CIL processing and/or heap leaching, providing flexibility for potential development scenarios.

Bassala Project (Mali)

Bassala is located within the Birimian terrain of southwestern Mali, approximately 200 km south of Mali's capital city of Bamako. Panthera currently holds an 85% interest, with the remaining 15% owned by Golden Spear Mali SARL under a carried interest arrangement. Previous work has identified multiple prospects through soil sampling, IP surveys, and drilling campaigns. The Bassala licence remains in good standing, and no material exploration or drilling activity occurred during the half-year.

Bido Project (Burkina Faso)

The Bido permit in Burkina Faso is located some 125km WSW of Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou. The tenement lies within the Boromo greenstone belt which is principally composed of Paleoproterozoic Birimian terrain within the West African Man Craton. This belt also hosts the Poura gold deposit (1 to 2 Moz), situated about 50 km to the SSW of the area, as well as numerous gold occurrences. The Perkoa VMS deposit is located about 35 km to the north of the area.

Panthera currently holds an 80% interest and may acquire the remaining 20% by further expenditure of US$1 million within two years. The vendor retains a buy-back right of 1% for US$1 million and a 1% NSR (net smelter returns) royalty capped at US$3 million.

In July 2025, Panthera commenced a 1,740-metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Kwademen prospect within the Bido Project. The programme is designed to test continuity of mineralisation intersected by historical drilling, including previous intercepts of 24m @ 1.38 g/t Au, and to evaluate priority targets identified through systematic geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys.

Cascades Project (Burkina Faso)

The Cascades Project (formerly Labola) is located in the Banfora greenstone belt of the West African Birimian terrain in southwest Burkina Faso, approximately 450 km west-southwest of Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, and 100 km northeast of Endeavour Mining's Wahgnion gold mine.

More than 65,500m of historical drilling (541 holes) has been completed across multiple drilling campaigns by previous owners, High River Gold Mines Limited ("HRG"), later acquired by Nord Gold Plc, and Taurus Gold Limited ("Taurus"), consisting of principally diamond and RC drilling (24,589m/39,339m, respectively). Mineralisation has been intercepted by historical drilling and outlined by previous artisanal mining in three main zones over a 10 km strike length.

The project is managed by Moydow Holdings Limited ("Moydow"), a subsidiary of DFR Gold Inc, with Panthera holding a 20% equity interest in Moydow; DFR Gold Inc is earning an 80% interest by funding up to US$18 million in exploration and development.  Panthera retains a back-in right to increase its interest to 30% for US$7.2 million once the earn-in is completed.

A maiden mineral resource estimate was prepared in October 2021, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 for the Cascades project, and amended on April 20, 2022, reporting:

·      Indicated resource of 5.41 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.52 g/t Au for a total 264,000 ounces of gold; and

·      Inferred resource of 6.93 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.67 g/t Au for a total of 371,000 ounces of gold.

On 4 August 2025, a feasibility study commenced at Cascades following positive mapping and geophysical survey results. The study, fully funded by DFR, will include:

·      reserve definition drilling to delineate starter pits;

·      metallurgical test work to determine the optimal process circuit design;

·      determination of the optimal locations for plant, waste dumps and tailings; and

·      completion of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.

DFR also paid the remaining US$500,000 consideration in relation to the Wuo Land Option, and subject to satisfying certain administrative requirements, the Wuo Land permit is expected to be transferred to Moydow, DFR's subsidiary and held on behalf of the joint venture partners.

Subject to a positive outcome, DFR intends to apply for a mining permit on the Wuo Land and Wuo Land 2 exploration permits. The feasibility study is anticipated to be completed later in 2026.

Corporate Updates

On 23 April 2025, the Company issued 381,748 ordinary shares of 1 pence each (nominal value), at an average issue price of 7.04 pence each, to satisfy accrued non-executive directors' fees for the period from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Financial Highlights

For the six months ended 30 September 2025, the Company reported a net comprehensive loss of US$1,359,371 (US$1,127,096 in the prior period).

Compliance Framework

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's audited annual financial statements in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025 ("Annual Report") and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted in the UK, IFRS Interpretations Committee guidance and AIM Rules for Companies. They apply the same accounting policies as those set out in the Annual Report, approved on 26 August 2025, except where new standards or amendments are effective. The interim financial information relating to the six-month period to 30 September 2025 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts. The interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 29 December 2025.

Measurement Basis and Currency

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and investments measured at fair value through profit or loss. The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ("$" or "US$"), which is the Group's reporting currency. This presentation currency has been selected to align with industry practice among major gold exploration and development companies. The functional currency of the Company remains British Pounds ("£"), reflecting its UK registration, AIM listing, and predominance of administrative and operating costs in £. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Going Concern

For the six months ended 30 September 2025, the Group incurred a net comprehensive loss of $1,359,371 (September 2024: $1,127,096) and operating cash outflows of $1,319,062 (September 2024: $1,072,709). The Group does not currently generate revenue from operations and remains in the exploration and development phase of its projects.

The Directors have assessed the Group's cash flow forecasts and funding requirements for the 12-month period from the date of this report. Based on current forecasts and committed expenditure, the Group expects to have sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations during this period.

In addition, costs associated with the Group's ongoing arbitration proceedings are being funded through the arbitration funding facility provided by Litigation Capital Management Limited ("LCM") through its subsidiary, LCM Funding SG Pty Ltd ("LCM Funding"). The funding agreement includes a clause that allows LCM to terminate the arrangement with 15 business days' notice. Management has assessed this clause and considers the likelihood of termination to be low, based on all currently available information. In the unlikely event of termination, the Group may elect to pause arbitration activities not funded by LCM until an alternate funding stream is secured. During this period, the Group has the means to fund essential minimal costs using cash reserves and apply mitigations on discretionary spending, whilst alternate funding is secured.

The Directors have considered the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on that basis. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would be required if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern. The Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Standards and Amendments

At the date of authorisation, there are no new applicable standards or amendments that have been published by the IASB and are not yet effective, which would have a material impact on these interim financial statements. The Group notes that IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2027) introduces new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. The Group has not early adopted IFRS 18.

Other Disclosures

As permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company has not presented its own statement of comprehensive income and related notes. The Company's total comprehensive loss for the period was $1,338,411 (September 2024: $1,038,442).

Directors' Responsibility Statement

The Directors confirm that these interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and AIM Rules for Companies and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial information gives a true and fair view of the Group's position as at 30 September 2025 and of its performance for the period then ended.

2.   Segment Reporting

The Group operates in three reportable segments, consistent with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025:

Net Arbitration Income	31,577	31,210

Arbitration income and expenses relate to the Group's ongoing claim against the Republic of India under the Treaty and are funded through the $13.6 million arbitration finance facility provided by LCM. Further details of the claim, arbitration finance facility, and terms and conditions of the facility are detailed in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

During the half-year, IGPL advanced its arbitration claim, including the filing of its Memorial on 19 May 2025, which in turn included a statement of claim for $1.58 billion (net of Indian taxes). On 29 October 2025, the arbitral tribunal issued a procedural calendar that included the Phase One hearing scheduled for December 2026.

The funding arrangement with LCM remains in place and continues to be drawn down as needed to cover arbitration-related costs. The net arbitration income for the period of $31,577 (September 2024: $31,210) contributed to covering administration costs related to the arbitration.

As at 30 September 2025, total committed amounts (including accrued amounts) represented approximately $8.6 million (around 63%), leaving approximately $5 million of the facility available at half-year end (31 March 2025: $7.83 million).

The bonus was awarded following a review by the Remuneration Committee, which considered strategic progress, stakeholder engagement, and operational leadership. The Board considers this arrangement to be proportionate and aligned with long-term shareholder value creation. The bonus is reviewed annually in line with performance and financial position.
