Half-year Financial Report

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Red Rock Resources plc has released its unaudited half-yearly results for the six months ended 31 December 2025, reporting a net loss of £1,729,000, an increase from the £1,548,000 loss in the prior year's comparable period. Total assets decreased to £16,940,000 from £19,405,000, primarily due to a reduction in non-current receivables and financial instruments, while cash and cash equivalents saw a significant increase to £223,000 from £6,000. The company is progressing with its social housing joint venture in the DRC, awaiting a Supreme Court judgment on a significant asset sale dispute, and is working on renewing gold licenses in Kenya.

Unaudited Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months Ended

31 December 2025

 

Red Rock Resources plc ("Red Rock" or "the Company"), the natural resources investment, exploration, and development company with interests in manganese, gold, copper and cobalt, and other materials, announces its half-yearly results for the six months ended 31 December 2025.

 

Chairman's Statement

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

The short period that elapses between the publication of the Final Results, which takes some notice of events between 30th June 2025 and 31st December 2025, means that there may not be much new to say, especially in relation to corporate matters such as arbitration and litigation.

 

Early in the New Year the Company bade farewell to one of its directors. Sam Quinn has given invaluable support during a period where we had to maintain our stability and remain resolute in some of the more difficult jurisdictions in which we operate, and we are grateful to him for his steadfast support.

 

The Company has during the period since December 2025 conducted trips to the Democratic Republic of Congo and has worked on progressing the renewal of its gold licences in Kenya.

 

DRC Matters

 

The social housing joint venture, connected with the Company's plans for mining and its proposed tax regime, is a matter on which progress announcements have been made for over a year

 

The first concrete project under this head was that being entered into with the Ministère du Developpement Rural (Ministry of Rural Development). This has now been through a full tender process, with the extensive tender documents now reviewed by the Direction Générale du Contrôle des Marchés Publics (General Directorate of Public Procurement Control) and other regulators, and our partner can now accept payment from the Ministry for the establishment of the first three factories to manufacture social housing units.

 

This has been a process involving much hard work and follow up but establishes the JV as a provider in this space. The financial implications of this first contract with the Ministry will be set out in further presentation material, but the annual housebuilding capacity implied in this first contract would by unit numbers place the contractor among the top four housing providers if it was in the UK.

 

The Ministry as part of its contribution also provides the sites on which the units will be constructed, the first three of which have been identified.

 

In relation to the litigation/arbitration for compensation for the sale unauthorized by the Company of its most significant DRC asset, the Company has kept the market abreast of progress over the years. What should have been a simple process in what should have been an open-and-shut case has extended for too long. The Company is now at the Supreme Court (Cour de Cassation) and although it has with extremely good reason placed reliance on the release of the judgment during 2025, delays have appeared from day to day. There is progress in that originally the delays seemed to be the result of manoeuvres by other parties, but now it appears to be only inefficiency that is left, behind which perhaps lies some human frailty.

 

It has been the case for a while that the Company has expected release of the judgment imminently, and it may seem perverse that this continues to be said when the release fails to appear on the expected day. However, when the formula has been repeated it has always been on good, recent, and credible authority. It remains the case currently that a publication of the judgment is expected. The State mining company holds the funds and awaits the judgment of the court as to the correct payees, so that a judgment can be followed without undue delay by payment.

 

Review of potential licences continues.

 

Kenya

 

The Company has been engaged in a lengthy process of renewal, and has reached an indicative agreement, which now needs to pass through the final stages.

 

Board

 

As noted above, after the period under review, Sam Quinn resigned as Non-Executive Director.  The Board is conducting a search for a suitable replacement Non-Executive Director to strengthen its independent oversight, and expects to make an appointment in due course.

 

Other

 

The Company retains interests in Burkina Faso, Australia, and Ivory Coast, the latter of which are in a process of sale. In connection with the Australian gold assets, the Company has a final payment to make to buy out the minorities, and has agreed an extension for this payment.

 

Investee company Elephant Oil Inc has been negotiating with new investors, and developments which would enhance the value of the Company's holding are hoped for in the near term.

 

The Company expects sales of assets and progress in the DRC to support the financial position, which remains stretched while waiting for these developments, as set out in the December results.

Company and group

 

As at 31 December 2025, 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 the Company had one or more operating subsidiaries and has therefore prepared full and interim consolidated financial statements respectively.

 

The Company will report again for the year ending 30 June 2026.

 

The financial information contained in this half yearly report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the year ended 30 June 2025 has been extracted from the statutory accounts for the Group for that year. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025, upon which the auditors gave an unqualified audit report which did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

Accounting Polices

 

Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting.' The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
