2026 ANNUAL REPORT
Chairman’s Message
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Thor Energy Plc, I am pleased to report on activities of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2026. This has been a defining year for the Company, in which we have continued to advance our flagship HY-Range natural hydrogen and helium project in South Australia towards a maiden drilling programme and augmented our portfolio with the addition of new strategic acreage in the Otway Basin. Meanwhile, Thor Energy has completed the rationalisation of our legacy metals portfolio, to deliver significant upfront and trailing cash, optimised cost reduction and preservation of high-value mineral exploration acreage in South Australia. Thor’s portfolio is now more focused in South Australia alongside a rationalised, non-operated, low-cost US portfolio.
HY-Range Project – South Australian Natural Hydrogen and Helium
Our 80.2%-owned HY-Range Project (RSEL 802), held through our subsidiary Go Exploration Pty Ltd, remains the Company's core focus. During the year we completed our Phase 2 soil air geochemistry survey, an extended monitoring campaign that commenced in November 2025 and ran through the first quarter of 2026. The results, announced in June 2026, were excellent: natural hydrogen readings of up to 3% (30,000ppm) were recorded, approximately 60,000 times background levels, and materially exceeded the already encouraging Phase 1 results. The survey validated three of our highest priority focus areas; Mallala, Lochiel and Crystal and significantly increased our confidence in the scale and continuity of the underlying natural hydrogen system.
Following these highly encouraging results, the Company began planning for a large-scale 2D seismic acquisition programme designed to image the subsurface geology, refine structural interpretations and identify priority drilling targets across the HY-Range Project. The programme marks the next critical step towards testing the project's natural hydrogen and helium potential through drilling. A comprehensive bid evaluation was undertaken toward the end of the year resulting in the Company signing a Letter of Award with Velseis Pty Ltd, a leading Australian seismic contractor, for an onshore 2D seismic acquisition survey across RSEL 802. The programme will acquire approximately 464 line-kilometres of 2D seismic data, targeting the Company’s highest-priority zones within the Torrens Hinge Zone, with the surveys expected to begin in Q4 2026.
Beyond the HY-Range project, Thor Energy holds a leading natural hydrogen and helium portfolio with more than 37,000 km² of South Australian applications secured as part of the Go Exploration deal which concluded in February 2025. The first two applications, located adjacent to the mining and industrial hub of Whyalla, commenced native title processes during the reporting period. Furthermore, following a competitive bidding process, Thor was subsequently offered two bid licence applications (RSELA 810 and 811) in February 2026, which are now expected to be awarded as active licences, post-period, during 2026 H2.
Alongside natural hydrogen and helium, Thor’s Gas Storage Exploration Licences (GSEL 804, 805 and 806) are being analysed to assess the potential for hydrogen storage which could add additional value and differentiation to Thor’s hydrogen and helium business streams or alternatively could deliver high-value natural gas or long-term gas sequestration.
Collectively, our gas-oriented business streams and associated portfolio is highly synergistic, facilitating efficient exploration, and delivering both opportunity range and portfolio risk tolerance.
Copper – EnviroCopper Limited
Alongside our hydrogen and helium ambitions, the Board continues to see significant embedded value in our copper interests, held both as direct equity within Thor Energy’s project portfolio and indirectly, through our investment in EnviroCopper Limited ("ECL"), in which Thor is the largest individual shareholder, with a stake of just over 24% as at 30 June 2026.
ECL is a specialist in-situ recovery ("ISR") copper company focused on its Alford West and Kapunda projects in South Australia. In October 2025, we announced that a large international energy company had agreed to invest A$3.5 million (£1.75 million) into ECL to collaborate on its ISR technology and on the Kapunda and Alford copper projects, with the option to convert that investment into a shareholding in ECL. This is a strong external endorsement of the technology and the underlying asset base, and in March 2026 Thor further strengthened its involvement by appointing a director to the ECL board. The Company looks forward to reporting on ECL's continued progress and believes this holding gives shareholders meaningful, low-cost exposure to a re-emerging South Australian copper story alongside our core hydrogen and helium strategy.
Immediately adjacent to ECL’s Alford West project, Thor holds 80% of metal oxides in Alford East, EL 6529. Collectively, the Alford system represents a significant resource with the potential with the potential to deliver and scale economic production by low impact, environmentally sound, and scalable production systems.
Portfolio Rationalisation and Non-Core Assets
The Board's strategy of simplifying the portfolio and sharpening our focus on core assets has continued at pace. In September 2025 we signed a Term Sheet for the sale of our 75% interest in the Molyhil Tungsten Project (held via the FRAM Joint Venture) to ASX-listed Tivan Limited for total consideration of up to A$8.75 million(£4.375 million)with Molyhil’s 75% share worth $6,562,500 (£3,281,250). The first cash payment of A$2.25 million (£1,125 million) was received in January 2026, and we received the first of three further annual deferred completion payments of A$1,312,500 (£656,000), post period, in September 2026 with Tivan electing to pay 50% in cash and 50% in shares.
In August 2025, the Group also successfully sold its 75% stake in its US assets to Metals One Plc (AIM:MET1). In October 2025 via our retained 25% interest in the above we signed a binding agreement with DISA Technologies, Inc. to evaluate and potentially develop historically abandoned uranium mine waste at our Colorado Projects, with the potential to generate a fully carried gross revenue share of 2.5% to 4.0% for Thor, requiring no capital or operating expenditure from the Company and delivering socio-environmental improvements to the area. Together, these transactions continue to deliver a meaningful, non-dilutive boost to Thor's cash position, enabling us to dedicate an increasing proportion of our resources to advancing HY-Range and our core projects.
Outlook
The Board believes Thor is well positioned as an early mover in the natural hydrogen and helium sector, with a fully funded seismic programme underway at HY-Range and a maiden drill decision now firmly in sight. We have also reinforced our leading natural hydrogen and helium position with high-value follow-up projects. At the same time, our retained interests in EnviroCopper's ISR copper projects and our other energy metals assets, such as Alford East, provide shareholders with valuable optionality beyond our core strategy. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support, and I look forward to updating you on our progress as we advance towards drilling at HY-Range.

Yours faithfully
Alastair Clayton
Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND STRATEGIC REPORT
OPERATIONS REVIEW
The financial year 2025–2026 was dominated by the strategic pivot towards natural hydrogen and helium and curated retention of high-value, strategic assets, to significantly reshape the Group's portfolio and exploration focus.
Exploration and operational highlights 2025-2026:
• Outstanding geochemical results announced from the licence-wide Phase 1 soil-gas survey at HY-Range (RSEL 802), hydrogen locally exceeding 1,000ppm and reaching 3,000ppm at one site, with helium up to 27ppm, high-grading four focus areas: Mallala, Lochiel, Crystal and Mt Lock.
• Completed the sale of a 75% interest in the Company's US uranium and vanadium subsidiaries (Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc.) to Metals One PLC for an exclusivity fee of £100,000 cash plus £761,024 in Metals One shares; Thor retained a fully carried 25% interest and granted Metals One a 12-month option to buy the remaining balance.
• Signed a binding Term Sheet with ASX-listed Tivan Limited for the sale of Thor's 75% interest in the Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum-Copper JV (FRAM JV) for total consideration of A$6.56 million (£3.28 million).
• Binding Term Sheet signed with DISA Technologies, Inc. for a gross revenue share (2.5%–4.0%) from processing abandoned uranium mine waste at Thor's Colorado projects, at no capital or operating cost to Thor.
• Phase 2 extended soil-gas monitoring campaign commenced at HY-Range in November 2025 and concluded through to March 2026 to ground-truth Phase 1 anomalies ahead of seismic design.
• Full binding agreement executed with DISA Technologies (23 October 2025); DISA received its final U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Service Providers Licence during the quarter.
• EnviroCopper Limited (Thor's South Australian copper-gold investee) entered a binding agreement for a A$3.5 million (£1.75 million) investment by a large international energy company into the Alford West and Kapunda projects (announced 27 October 2025); If converted to equity then Thor's holding is set to dilute to approximately 20%
• Preliminary Phase 2 geochemistry results announced natural hydrogen readings of up to 3% (30,000ppm), around 60,000 times background, validating three priority focus areas (Mallala, Lochiel and Crystal).
• Letter of Award signed with Velseis Pty Ltd for a 464 line-kilometre 2D seismic acquisition survey across RSEL 802, targeting the Torrens Hinge Zone, with acquisition planned for Q4 2026 and fully funded from existing cash reserves.
HY-RANGE PROJECT: RSEL 802, SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NATURAL HYDROGEN AND HELIUM
The HY-Range Project (RSEL 802), held through the Company's 80.2%-owned subsidiary Go Exploration Pty Ltd, remained Thor's flagship asset throughout FY26. The licence sits adjacent to Gold Hydrogen Limited's Ramsay-1 and Ramsay-2 discoveries and is co-located with three Gas Storage Exploration Licences (GSEL 804, 805 and 806) held by Go Exploration, which offer potential synergies for hydrogen, natural gas or greenhouse-gas storage serving the Adelaide urban centre and nearby industry.

Figure 1: RSEL 802 in the context of nearby Petroleum Exploration Licences (left) and the four priority focus areas: Mt Lock, Crystal, Lochiel and Mallala identified from Phase 1 geochemistry (right). Source: Company announcements, Q1 FY26.
Phase 1: Licence-wide geochemical survey
The Phase 1 full-licence soil-gas geochemical programme, upsized to 103 sample locations and using field-based gas chromatography equipment (understood to be a first for natural hydrogen and helium exploration in Australia), was completed ahead of FY26 and reported to market on 7 July 2025. Results announced early in Q1 FY26 confirmed elevated hydrogen readings locally exceeding 1,000ppm and reaching 3,000ppm at one location, against a typical atmospheric background of 0.5ppm, together with helium readings up to 27ppm against a background of around 5ppm. The distribution of results correlated with mapped geological features, supporting a natural origin, and the elevated helium was assessed as unambiguous evidence of a working helium system. The data was used to high-grade four principal focus areas: Mallala, Lochiel, Crystal and Mt Lock.
Phase 2: Extended monitoring campaign
Building on the Phase 1 results, the Company commenced Phase 2 fieldwork in November 2025 (Q2 FY26). Unlike the Phase 1 spot-sampling approach, Phase 2 was designed as an extended monitoring campaign, planned to run through to March 2026, to measure gas flux over time, ground-truth the Phase 1 anomalies, and determine source-to-trap migration pathways ahead of seismic design and final prospect maturation.

Figure 2: Phase 2 soil-air geochemistry sample collection, HY-Range Project. Source: Company announcement, Q4 FY26.
Preliminary Phase 2 results were announced during Q4 FY26 (April–June 2026), recording natural hydrogen readings of up to 3% (30,000ppm), approximately 60,000 times background levels, and validating three of the Company's highest-priority focus areas: Mallala, Lochiel and Crystal. Evolved sampling techniques, testing depth, duration and material variables against controls, indicated highly active natural hydrogen generation and reduced the risk of sampling error or anthropogenic contamination. The results were assessed as materially exceeding Phase 1 and were considered by the Company to further validate its exploration model ahead of drill targeting.
2D seismic acquisition
Following the encouraging Phase 2 results, the Company ran a competitive bid process and, during Q4 FY26, signed a Letter of Award with Velseis Pty Ltd, a leading Australian seismic contractor, for an onshore 2D seismic acquisition survey of approximately 464 line-kilometres across RSEL 802, targeting the Torrens Hinge Zone. Work is scheduled for Q4 calendar 2026 and is fully funded from existing cash reserves following the Company's non-core asset divestments. The seismic data is intended to be integrated with existing gravity, magnetic, passive and Phase 2 geochemistry datasets to provide depth control, characterise the hydrogen/helium-generating basement rocks, map migration-controlling faulting and mature targets for future exploration drilling.
STRATEGIC METALS PORTFOLIO
In parallel with advancing HY-Range, Thor executed a non-dilutionary monetisation strategy across its legacy uranium, vanadium and tungsten interests during FY26, converting non-core, costly to hold exploration assets into cash and deferred consideration to fund the Company's natural hydrogen and helium programme without shareholder dilution.
Uranium and Vanadium Projects, Colorado & Utah, USA
During Q1 FY26, Thor completed the sale of its 75% interest holdings in its US uranium and vanadium subsidiaries, Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc. (which hold the Groundhog, Radium Mountain and Vanadium King claim groups in Colorado and Utah), to London-listed Metals One PLC (AIM: MET1). Consideration comprised an exclusivity fee of £100,000 paid on execution of the initial Term Sheet, plus £761,024 (approximately A$1,400,000) of Metals One shares issued on completion, calculated at the closing share price on completion. Thor retained a fully carried 25% interest and granted Metals One a 12-month option to acquire the remaining 25%, with Metals One funding all exploration during the option period.
In Q2 FY26, on 23 October 2025, Standard Minerals Inc., a company in which Thor has a 25% stake, executed a full binding agreement with DISA Technologies, Inc., a US private-equity-backed materials technology company, to evaluate and treat historically abandoned uranium mine waste at the Colorado projects using DISA's patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) process. Under the agreement, Standard Minerals (in which Thor now holds 25%) is entitled to a sliding-scale gross revenue share of 2.5% to 4.0% from any recovered uranium and critical minerals, with no capital or operating expenditure required from Thor. DISA received its final U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Service Providers Licence during the quarter, clearing the way for future deployment of the technology.
Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum-Copper Project, Northern Territory (FRAM JV, Thor 75%)
The Molyhil deposit, held 75% by Thor through the FRAM JV with Investigator Resources Limited (operating as Fram Ltd, ASX: IVR), comprises the Yacht Club and Southern skarn lodes located approximately 220km north-east of Alice Springs. During Q1 FY26 (September 2025), Thor signed a binding Term Sheet with ASX-listed Tivan Limited (ASX: TVN) for the sale of the FRAM JV, structured as an initial deposit, a completion payment and three annual deferred payments, payable in cash or Tivan shares at Tivan's election, for total consideration of A$6.56 million (£3.28 million) net to Thor (A$8.75 million (£4.875 million) gross FRAM JV consideration).
The sale completed on 19 January 2026 (Q3 FY26), with Thor receiving a A$2,250,000 (£1.125 million) completion payment. Three further annual deferred payments of A$1,312,500 (£656,000) each (A$3,937,500 (£1.968 million) in total) are due from September 2026. On 15 September 2026 the Company received the first payment with Tivan electing to settle the amount 50% in cash and 50% in shares.
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COPPER-GOLD AND REE ASSETS
Thor retained its exposure to copper, gold and rare earth element potential in South Australia's historic copper districts through its equity holding in EnviroCopper Limited (ECL) and its direct 80% interest in the Alford East Copper-Gold Project, while minimising direct holding costs. The Alford West (ECL) and Alford East (Thor, 80% and Operator) projects sit within the Copper Coast area of the Yorke Peninsula, part of the Olympic Copper-Gold Province, while the Kapunda Project (ECL) represents a separate historic mining centre; both settings host oxide mineralisation potentially amenable to in-situ recovery.

Figure 3: Location of Thor's South Australian copper-gold assets within the Olympic Copper-Gold Province (left) and the Alford East / Alford West tenure area (right). Source: Company announcement, Q2 FY26.
On 27 October 2025 (Q2 FY26), ECL entered a binding agreement for a A$3.5 million (£1.75 million) investment by a large international energy company to advance the Alford West and Kapunda projects, with the investor able to elect to convert the investment into ECL shares at A$3.60 per share. If converted then Thor's holding in ECL, previously just over 24%, is expected to dilute to approximately 20%, while the investment removes funding requirements from Thor and validates the quality of the underlying assets. As at the date of this report the amount has not been converted to equity.

Notes:
Any information contained in this report that relates to Mineral or Prospective Resources has been extracted from a previously released announcements dated 12/02/2018, 26/11/2018, 15/08/2019, 29/01/2020, 22/01/2022, 31/05/2024 and 31/03/2026 (“Announcements”). The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Announcements, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
CORPORATE
The Company's FY26 strategy prioritised non-dilutionary funding: the divestment of 75% of the US uranium and vanadium projects to Metals One PLC and 75% of the Molyhil FRAM JV to Tivan Limited together funded the Company's exploration programme, including the fully funded 2D seismic acquisition at HY-Range, without any new funding through equity issuance during the year.
Cash and cash equivalents rose from £686,000 at 1 July 2025 to £1,453,000 at 30 June 2026. Net cash used in operating activities was £791,000, more than offset by net cash inflows from investing activities of £1,581,000, principally the Tivan/Molyhil deposit and completion payment of £1,343,000. The first of three annual deferred completion payments of A$1,312,500 (£656,000) under the Tivan transaction was received in September 2026 with the Company electing to pay 50% in shares and 50% in cash.
The management of the business and the execution of the Group’s strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks affecting the Group are set out below.
Risks are formally reviewed by the Board, and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and mitigate them. If more than one event occurs, it is possible that the overall effect of such events would compound the possible adverse effects on the Group.
Exploration risks
The exploration and mining business is controlled by a number of global factors, principally supply and demand which in turn is a key driver of global mineral prices; these factors are beyond the control of the Group. Exploration is a high-risk business and there can be no guarantee that any mineralisation discovered will result in proven and probable reserves or go on to be an operating mine. At every stage of the exploration process the projects are rigorously reviewed to determine if the results justify the next stage of exploration expenditure ensuring that funds are only applied to high-priority targets.
The principal assets of the Group comprising the various exploration licences are subject to certain financial and legal commitments. If these commitments are not fulfilled the licences could be revoked. They are also subject to legislation defined by the Government; if this legislation is changed it could adversely affect the value of the Group’s assets.
The Group's natural hydrogen and helium portfolio consists of its 80.2% ownership of Go Exploration and associated operatorship of all licences and licence applications contained within this portfolio. The portfolio consists of South Australian licences:
At the date of this report the renewal application has been submitted (On 16 June 2025) to seek continuation into the final 5-year licence period; the South Australian Government's, Department of Energy and Mining (‘DEM’) are currently reviewing the application. The licence continues by default and, based on the Group's history of successful renewals of licences and through positive dialogue with DEM, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that this licence will continue into the final 5-year licence period, as required for ongoing exploration activities on the licence.
Dependence on key personnel
The Group and Company are dependent upon their executive management team and various technical consultants. Whilst it has entered into contractual agreements with the aim of securing the services of these personnel, the retention of their services cannot be guaranteed. The development and success of the Group depends on its ability to recruit and retain high-quality and experienced staff. The loss of the service of key personnel or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel as the Group grows could have an adverse effect on future business and financial conditions.
Uninsured risk
The Group, as a participant in exploration and development programmes, may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or third-party claims that exceed the insurance cover. The Group may also be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards that are beyond control, including geological, geotechnical and seismic factors, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, occupational and health hazards and weather conditions or other acts of God.
Funding risk
The only sources of funding currently available (other than the deferred consideration) to the Group are through the issue of additional equity capital in the parent company or through bringing in partners to fund exploration and development costs. The Company’s ability to raise further funds will depend on the success of the Group’s exploration activities and its investment strategy. The Company may not be successful in procuring funds on terms which are attractive and, if such funding is unavailable, the Group may be required to reduce the scope of its exploration activities or relinquish some of the exploration licences held for which it may incur fines or penalties.
Financial risks
The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that can include market risk (including foreign currency, price and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group has a risk management programme in place that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group by monitoring levels of financial commitments. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate costs and, as such, no hedge accounting is applied. Refer to note 19.2 for further information.
Section 172(1) Statement - Promotion of the Company for the benefit of the members as a whole
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires Directors to take into consideration the interests of stakeholders and other matters in their decision making. The Directors continue to have regard to the interests of the Group's employees and other stakeholders, the impact of its activities on the community, the environment and the Group 's reputation for good business conduct, when making decisions and they are addressed in detail below:
Stakeholders |
Impact |
Strategy & decision making |
Employees |
Thor recognises that an organisation in its life cycle relies heavily on a few key employees to determine the success of the Group. Other than the Directors the Group only has one employee. |
It has put in place a remuneration committee that reviews the performance and salary of Directors annually to ensure they are properly remunerated. |
Shareholders |
Thor is committed to maintaining regular dialogue with shareholders and implementing apparatus that allows two-way communication. |
Sale of non-core assets During the year the Group reviewed its asset portfolio and continued to streamline its operations to focus on its core natural hydrogen and helium assets. As part of this strategy the Group sold its entire 75% interest in the Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum-Copper Project (the FRAM JV) to ASX-listed Tivan Limited for total consideration of A$6.56 million (£3.28 million) net to Thor, comprising an initial deposit, a completion payment received on completion on 19 January 2026, and three annual deferred payments of A$1,312,500 (£656,000) each.
The Group also sold a 75% interest in its US uranium and vanadium subsidiaries, Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc., to Metals One PLC, retaining a fully carried 25% interest and granting Metals One a 12-month option over the balance. The Board believes these divestments have freed up significant capital to allocate to the Group's HY-Range natural hydrogen and helium project, including the fully funded 2D seismic acquisition programme, without shareholder dilution. |
Governance |
The Board is committed to maintaining the highest standard of governance within the Group including but not limited to: |
The Board has processes in place specifically to oversee Governance being the audit Committee and remuneration committee that meet regularly throughout the year to oversee their designated portfolios.
|
Environmental |
The Board is aware of the changing landscape in which the Group operates and must look to regularly assess and mitigate its environmental impact |
The Group's main environmental footprint occurs in Australia where operations occur. Operations are overseen by State Authorities, and the Group complies with all necessary operational requirements.
|
We aim to work responsibly with our stakeholders, including suppliers. The key Board decisions made during the period and post period end are set out in the Chairman’s statement.

Non-Executive Director Service contracts
All Non-Executive Directors are appointed under the terms of a letter of appointment. Each appointment provides for annual fees of A$60,000 (Approximately £30,000) for services as a Non-Executive Director, inclusive of the 15%(2025:12%) statutory superannuation scheme applicable to Australian Directors.

Principal activities and review of the business
The principal activities of the Group are the exploration of Hydrogen and Helium assets that are crucial in the shift to a ‘green’ energy economy.
The Group’s existing exploration project portfolio comprises:
Business Review and future developments
A review of the current and future development of the Group’s business is provided in the Review of Operations & Strategic Report.
Results and dividends
The Group incurred a loss after taxation of £1,427,000 (2025 loss: £7,441,000). The key movements at Group level were the loss on disposal of Standard and Cisco (£469,000), the share based payment expense (£147,000) and the revaluation of listed investments (£248,000). The reduction against the prior year reflects the absence of the exploration asset write-offs and impairments of £5,026,000 and the £977,000 loss on sale of exploration assets recognised in 2025, together with a £371,000 fair value adjustment on financial assets held at FVTPL in that year. No dividends have been paid or are proposed.
Key Performance Indicators (‘KPIs’)
Given the nature of the business and that the Group is in the exploration and development phase of operations, the Directors are of the opinion that analysis using KPIs is not appropriate for an understanding of the development, performance or position of our businesses at this time.
At this stage, management believe that the carrying value of exploration assets and the management of cash are the main performance indicator, which are monitored closely to ensure the group has sufficient funds to advance its exploration assets.

Corporate Governance
The Board applies the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (ASX Corporate Governance Council, 4th Edition) as the framework for the Company’s corporate governance arrangements. Consistent with ASX listing rule 4.10.3, this document details the extent to which the Company has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. A separate disclosure is made where the Company has not followed a specific recommendation, together with the reasons and any alternative governance practice, as applicable. Following the revised AIM Rules for Companies which took effect on 5 August 2026, AIM companies are no longer required to adopt a recognised corporate governance code or to comply or explain against one; AIM Rule 26 instead requires disclosure of the Company’s approach to board composition, director roles and responsibilities, remuneration and performance, its risk and controls framework, and investor relations. The Board has retained the ASX Principles as its framework and considers the arrangements described below, together with the information published on the Company’s website, appropriate to the size, stage of development and circumstances of the Company. This information is reviewed annually.
The Company does not have a formal nomination committee, however it does formally consider board succession issues and whether the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, and diversity. This evaluation is undertaken collectively by the Board, as part of the annual review of its own performance.
Whilst a separate Remuneration Committee has not been formed, the Company undertakes alternative procedures to ensure a transparent process for setting remuneration for Directors and Senior staff, that is appropriate in the context of the current size and nature of the Company’s operations.
The full Board fulfils the functions of a Remuneration Committee, and considers and agrees remuneration and conditions as follows:
The Audit Committee comprised Alastair Clayton and Lincoln Moore. It meets formally at least twice a year. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the Group's financial statements and the judgements in them, monitoring internal controls and risk management, and managing the relationship with the external auditor, including their independence and fees .Further information on the Company’s corporate governance policies is available on the Company’s website www.thorenergyplc.com.
Environmental Responsibility
The Company is aware of the potential impact that its subsidiary companies may have on the environment. The Company ensures that it and its subsidiaries at a minimum comply with the local regulatory requirements with regards to the environment.
Employment Policies
The Group will be committed to promoting policies which ensure that high-calibre employees are attracted, retained and motivated, to ensure the ongoing success of the business. Employees and those who seek to work within the Group are treated equally regardless of gender, age, marital status, creed, colour, race or ethnic origin.
Health and Safety
The Group will aim to achieve and maintain a high standard of workplace safety. To achieve this objective, the Group will provide training and support to employees and set demanding standards for workplace safety.
Payment to Suppliers
The Group’s policy is to agree terms and conditions with suppliers in advance; payment is then made in accordance with the agreement provided the supplier has met the terms and conditions. Under normal operating conditions, suppliers are paid within 60 days of receipt of invoice.
Political Contributions and Charitable Donations
During the period the Group did not make any political contributions or charitable donations.
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
This report and financial statements will be presented to shareholders for their approval at the AGM. The Notice of the AGM will be distributed to shareholders together with the Annual Report.
Auditors
A resolution to reappoint PKF Littlejohn LLP will be considered at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting expected to be held in, or prior to, November 2026.
Statement of disclosure of information to auditors
As at the date of this report, the serving Directors confirm that:
Going Concern
The Directors note the losses that the Group has made for the Year Ended 30 June 2026. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period ending 30 September 2027 which take account of the current cost and operational structure of the Group.
The cost structure of the Group comprises a high proportion of discretionary spend and therefore in the event that cash flows become constrained, some costs can be reduced to enable the Group to operate with a lower level of available funding. As a junior exploration company, the Directors are aware that the Company must go to the marketplace to raise cash to meet its exploration and development plans, and/or consider liquidation of its investments and/or assets as is deemed appropriate.
The Directors expect that further funds can be raised, and it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, however, there can be no certainty that any fundraise will be completed. These conditions indicate existence of a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be required if the Group could not continue as a going concern.
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare group and parent company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have prepared the group and parent company financial statements in accordance with and UK-adopted international accounting standards. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and parent company and of the profit or loss of the group and the parent company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Electronic communication
The maintenance and integrity of the Company’s website is the responsibility of the Directors: the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
The Company’s website is maintained in accordance with AIM Rule 26.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report was approved by the Board on 29 September 2026.

Non-Executive Chairman
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THOR ENERGY PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Thor Energy Plc (the ‘Parent Company’ or the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 30 June 2026 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK-adopted international accounting standards and as regards the Parent Company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion:
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Parent Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1c in the financial statements, which explains that the Group remains reliant on securing additional funding in order to meet its working capital requirements as they fall due and to continue advancing its operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be obtained within the required timeframes or at the required amount. As stated in Note 1c, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in that Note, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the Group’s and Parent Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Our application of materiality
We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and throughout the course of our audit, and in evaluating the effect of identified misstatements and forming our opinion on the financial statements. Materiality is used to determine the financial statements areas that are included within the scope of our audit and the extent of sample sizes during the audit. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered to be material if they, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
We also determine a level of performance materiality which we use to assess the extent of testing needed to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
In determining materiality and performance materiality, we considered the following factors:
The materiality applied to the Group financial statements as a whole was £128,000 (2025: £94,300). This was calculated at 1.5% of Group net assets (2025: 1% of Group total assets). In determining materiality, we deemed net assets to be the main driver of the business. The Group has rationalised its asset portfolio during the year, and it is considered that net assets will produce a more stable year on year metric whilst the Group remains in the exploration stage with no revenue being generated. Performance materiality of £89,700 (2025: £66,000) was set at 70% (2025: 70%) of headline materiality, a level considered appropriate due to current size and level of complexity and our assessment of inherent risk of the Group.
Materiality for the Parent Company financial statements as a whole was set at £105,700 (2025: £75,500). This was calculated based on 1.5% of net assets (2025: 1% of total assets) and capped below Group materiality at a level deemed appropriate, taking into account both risk and net asset contribution to the Group. Performance materiality was set at £74,000 (2025: £52,800) based on 70% (2025: 70%) of headline materiality. The significant judgements used in determining this threshold were the same as those applied to the Group as detailed above.
In addition to the Parent Company, a full scope audit was performed on one additional component (2025: two additional components), and audit procedures were performed on certain balances or classes of transaction for a further three components (2025: three components). The scoping was determined having regard to the risks associated with each component, the presence of material balances, and other relevant qualitative factors. Performance materiality ranged between £10,000-£74,000 (2025: £52,800-£73,920) for these components, based on an appropriate percentage of Group performance materiality taking into account both risk and net asset contribution to the Group.
We agreed to report to those charged with governance any individual audit misstatements exceeding £6,410 (2025: £4,700) for the Group and £6,300 (2025: £4,700) for the Parent Company, in addition to other identified misstatements that warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
Our approach to the audit
Our audit was risk based and was designed to focus our efforts on the areas at greatest risk of material misstatement, as well as aspects subject to significant management judgement or greatest complexity, risk and size.
In designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgements by the directors, including the carrying value of intangible assets in the Group and the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries and loans to subsidiaries in the Parent Company, and considered future events that are inherently uncertain.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
The Group includes the listed Parent Company and its subsidiaries, which are based in the United Kingdom, United States of America and Australia. Of the Group’s seven components, we performed a full scope audit on two components, including the Parent Company, and performed audit procedures on certain balances or classes of transaction on a further three.
The Group’s and Parent Company’s accounting function is based in the United Kingdom and the audit was performed by us as Group auditor.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter |
How our scope addressed this matter |
Recoverability of intangible assets - deferred exploration costs (Group) (Refer Note 7) |
|
The Group holds intangible assets with a significant account balance with a carrying value of £4.7m at the year-end which relate to the following exploration projects:
This balance primarily comprises licence acquisition costs and capitalised exploration costs.
Management capitalises costs in respect of exploration activities in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
The recoverability of these assets depends on the Group’s ability to develop the projects through to revenue generation and profitability or recover value through sale. Management is required to assess annually whether indicators of impairment are present. The assessment of impairment is inherently judgemental and therefore there is a risk that these assets are overstated.
This is considered to be a Key audit matter due to the material nature of the balance as well as the level of management judgement required in considering whether an impairment is deemed to arise.
|
Our work in this area included:
Key Observation
We draw attention to the disclosures in the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section of the Strategic Report and the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements accounting policy regarding the Group’s exploration tenements. The Group has submitted a renewal application for Regulated Substance Exploration Licence (‘RSEL’) 802 relating to its HY-Range Project on 16 June 2025, which is currently under review by the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining. Should the renewal not be forthcoming, this may result in impairment to the related intangible assets.
|
Recoverability and Valuation of Parent Company’s Investments in, and Loans to subsidiaries
Refer (Notes 8(a) and 8(b)) |
|
The carrying value of investments in subsidiaries and loans to subsidiaries is £3.2m and £3.8m respectively, and is dependent on the value of the underlying assets.
The valuation and recoverability of the exploration projects and other assets held by the subsidiaries is based on judgements and estimates made by the Directors. The exploration projects are at an early stage of exploration and therefore there are continued risks pertaining to the successful development as well as the assessment of the commercial viability of the exploration assets.
There is a risk that the judgements and estimates made by the Directors may not be reliable, which could result in a material misstatement in the carrying value of the investments in subsidiaries and related intercompany receivables.
Given the financial significance and the estimation/judgement required by management, we have identified the risk of recoverability of investments in, and loans to, subsidiaries as a key audit matter. |
Our work in this area included:
Key Observation We draw attention to the disclosures in the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section of the Strategic Report and the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements accounting policy regarding the Group’s exploration tenements. The Group has submitted a renewal application for Regulated Substance Exploration Licence (‘RSEL’) 802 relating to its HY-Range Project on 16 June 2025, which is currently under review by the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining. Should the renewal not be forthcoming, this may result in impairment to the investment in subsidiary and loans to subsidiaries balances relating to the Parent Company’s 80.2% owned subsidiary Go Exploration Pty Ltd, which is the owner of the licence. |
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the Group and Parent Company financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the Group and Parent Company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Group and Parent Company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2026
1 Principal accounting policies
a) Authorisation of financial statements
The Group financial statements of Thor Energy Plc for the year ended 30 June 2026 were authorised for issue by the Board on 29 September 2026 and the Statements of Financial Position signed on the Board's behalf by Alastair Clayton and Andrew Hume. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the AIM Market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on the Australian Securities Exchange and on the OTCQB market in the United States.
b) Statement of compliance with IFRS
The Consolidated Financial Statements of Thor Energy Plc (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (“UK-IAS”). These accounting policies comply with each IAS that is mandatory for accounting periods ending on 30 June 2026.
c) Basis of preparation and Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement of assets and financial instruments to fair value as described in the accounting policies below, and on a going concern basis.
The financial report is presented in Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (“£‘000”) unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss before tax of £1,427,000 during the period ended 30 June 2026 and had a net cash inflow of £791,000 from operating and investing activities. The consolidated entity continues to be reliant upon capital raisings for continued operations and the provision of working capital.
The Group’s cash flow forecast for the 12 months ending 30 September 2027, highlight the fact that the Company is expected to continue to generate negative cash flow over that period, inclusive of the discretionary exploration spend. The Board of Directors are of the view that the injection of funds into the Group during the next 12 months need to be undertaken, and based on the history of successfully raising funds, the Directors believe that any further necessary funds will be raised in order for the Group to remain cash positive for the whole period. If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.
In assessing going concern the Directors have taken into account the deferred consideration receivable under the sale of the Group's 75% interest in the Molyhil FRAM JV to Tivan Limited, which completed on 19 January 2026 for total consideration of A$6.56 million (£3.28 million) net to Thor. Three annual deferred payments of A$1,312,500 (£656,000) each (A$3,937,500 (£1,969,000) in aggregate) remain receivable, the first of which was received in mid September 2026 with Tivan electing to pay 50% in shares and 50% in cash.
The Directors expect that further funds can be raised, and it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, however there can be no certainty that any fundraise will complete. These conditions indicate existence of a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be required if the Group could not continue as a going concern.
d) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Thor Energy Plc and its controlled entities. The financial statements of controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations where the acquisition meets the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred unless they result from the issuance of shares, in which case they are offset against the premium on those shares within equity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in full.
e) Intangible assets – deferred exploration costs
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure are not amortised, as all areas of interest remain in the pre-production phase.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against the income statement in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
A review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure.
Exploration and evaluation assets recorded at fair-value on acquisition
Exploration assets which are acquired are recognised at fair value. When an acquisition of an entity whose only significant assets are its exploration asset and/or rights to explore, the Directors consider that the fair value of the exploration assets is equal to the consideration. Any excess of the consideration over the capitalised exploration asset is attributed to the fair value of the exploration asset.
f) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.
g) Deferred taxation
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
The amount of any claim received during the year from the Australian Government for eligible exploration expenditure claimed as a Research & Development Tax Incentive and other grants are treated as an offset or reduction of the deferred exploration costs. The amounts received in the year ended 30 June 2026 was £nil (30 June 2025: A$207,000 or approximately £103,000). Due to the uncertainty around the final quantum of the refund it was recognised when received in the bank rather than accrued.
h) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, where applicable, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method (‘EIR’) unless they are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group's financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and lease liabilities.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Trade and other payables
After initial recognition, trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the associated obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or other liabilities, as appropriate.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial liabilities included in trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.
i) Foreign currencies
The Company’s functional currency, and the Group’s presentational currency, is Sterling (“£”). Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Thor Energy Plc at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their Income Statements are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.
All other differences are taken to the Income Statement.
j) Share based payments
The Company does regularly provide share-based remuneration to Directors, employees, service providers and/or for the acquisition of assets, in the form of share options and performance rights. For further information refer to Note 16.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the services provided. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the fair value of the Options granted is based on the Black-Scholes model, or where there are market based vesting hurdles the valuation is undertaken a Monte Carlo or similar method.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Thor Energy Plc (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant holders become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The Income Statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the holder, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
Where equity-settled awards expire or lapse without being exercised, the amount previously recognised in the share based payments reserve in respect of those instruments is transferred to retained earnings. No adjustment is made to the cumulative expense previously recognised in profit or loss, as the services to which the awards related have already been received.
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. IFRS 13 mainly impacts the disclosures of the Company. It requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements and disclosures of fair values.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.
The Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost and at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Amortised cost
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date at cost – the date on which the Group commits to purchasing or selling the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or Fair Value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL, are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is determined by using market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are (the ‘fair value hierarchy’):
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted)
- Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).
The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they occur.
The Group measures its investments in quoted shares using the quoted market price which is considered to be a Level 1 input.
The Group’s investments in Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc. are unlisted and there is no quoted price in an active market, nor observable market data for comparable entities or for the underlying exploration assets. Fair value is therefore determined by reference to the consideration attributable to the 75% interest in each entity disposed of during the year, grossed up pro rata to the retained 25% holding. That input is unobservable and the measurement is accordingly classified as Level 3.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (‘ECLs’) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. This is the same treatment for a financial asset measured at FVTPL.
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less any provision for impairment in value, prior to their elimination on consolidation.
Investments in associates are initially recognised at cost and subsequently accounted for using the equity method “Equity accounted investments”. Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment in associate. The carrying amount of the investment in associates is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment.
When the Group loses significant influence over an associate, the investment is reclassified to a financial asset and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. On the date of reclassification, any difference between the fair value of the retained interest (and any proceeds received) and the carrying amount of the associate is recognised in profit or loss, and any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate are reclassified to profit or loss.
The difference between the fair value of an acquisition and the nominal value of the shares allotted in a share exchange have been credited to a merger reserve account, in accordance with the merger relief provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and accordingly no share premium for such transactions is set-up. Where the assets acquired are impaired, the merger reserve value is reversed to retained earnings to the extent of the impairment.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.
That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the Income Statement unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Income Statement net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
Basic earnings per share is calculated as loss for the financial year attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as loss for the financial year attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
This reserve is used to record the value of equity benefits provided to employees, consultants and directors as part of their remuneration and provided to consultants and advisors hired by the Group from time to time as part of the consideration paid. The reserve is reduced by the value of equity benefits which have lapsed during the year.
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.
Retained earnings represent the cumulative profits and losses attributable to equity holders of the Company, net of dividends paid and other transfers from reserves.
Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. It is allocated its share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, even if this results in a deficit balance.
The Company as Lessee
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract is a lease or contains a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. a lease with a term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest.
Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.
As at 30 June 2026 the Group does not have any leases.
The Company as Lessor
As the Group has no contracts as a lessor, the provisions of IFRS 16 relating accounting for lease contracts as a lessor are not applicable.
At the date on which these Financial Statements were authorised, the following Standards and Amendments had been issued but were not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2026 and have not been applied by the Group:

1 January 2027 |
The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with UK-IAS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the period. Actual results may vary from the estimates used to produce these Financial Statements.
Estimates and judgements are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Items subject to such estimates and assumptions, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial years, include but are not limited to:
Impairment of intangible assets – exploration and evaluation costs (Note 7)
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of exploration and evaluation assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the Directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded.
Renewal of RSEL 802 (Note 7 and 8)
The carrying value of the HY-Range Project depends on RSEL 802 continuing into its third and final 5-year licence period. The Group applied for renewal on 16 June 2025, before the deadline, and the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining (DEM) has not yet issued the formal renewal. The licence continues by default while the application is pending, and DEM has not indicated that the renewal will be refused. Given this, the Group's record of successful licence renewals and its ongoing dialogue with DEM, the Directors have judged that renewal is reasonably expected. They have therefore concluded that no impairment indicator arises under IFRS 6 for the related exploration asset, or for the Company's investment in and loans to Go Exploration. If the renewal were not granted, these balances could be impaired.
Share based payment transactions (Note 16)
The Group awarded shares, options (warrants) and performance shares to Directors.
The valuation of these securities involves making a number of critical estimates relating to price volatility, future dividend yields, expected life of the options, forfeiture rates, vesting period and expected vesting amount. These assumptions have been described in more detail in Note 16.
Classification, valuation and recoverability of investment in EnviroCopper (ECL) (Note 8)
During the year, the Company's investment in ECL was reclassified from a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) to an investment in associate. This reclassification was necessitated by the Company regaining significant influence over ECL, following the appointment of Lincoln Moore as a director on 2 March 2026. As a result, the investment met the criteria for accounting as an associate under IAS 28. The fair value of the investment at the date of reclassification was determined based on the relative proportion of net assets at that date, which became the deemed cost on transition to equity accounting. From that date the Group has recognised its share of ECL's results, and at year end reviewed the carrying value for indicators of impairment based on the current net asset position.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the investment is assessed at each reporting date. ECL is an unlisted, pre-revenue company with no quoted price and no recent arm's length transaction in its shares, so its recoverable amount cannot be observed directly and is estimated by management by reference to the Group's share of ECL's net assets and the underlying value of its exploration interests. That estimate is inherently judgemental and a different view of the value of those interests could result in an impairment.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries (Note 8)
Management assesses impairment of each investment with respect to the net asset position of each investment. Any impairment charge recorded does not automatically indicate that the underlying assets of the Group need to be impaired as well.
Estimated credit loss (ECL) on intercompany loans
Management assesses the expected credit loss on intercompany loans with reference to the financial position and funding outlook of each borrower. The loans are repayable on demand, and the allowance is measured by assuming repayment is demanded at the reporting date and that the borrower would be unable to repay in full from its own resources. The loss against each loan is therefore the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the borrower's net assets, excluding the loan itself, at their estimated realisable value. The principal judgement is the realisable value of each borrower's exploration interests, which are early stage and not supported by observable market evidence. Any provision recognised does not automatically indicate that the Group has ceased to support the subsidiary, but rather reflects the application of forward-looking credit risk assumptions.
Classification of Standard Minerals Inc and Cisco Minerals Inc
Following the disposal of 75% of Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc. on 12 August 2025, the Group retains a 25% shareholding in each entity. A holding of 20% or more gives rise to a rebuttable presumption of significant influence under IAS 28, however the Directors consider the presumption rebutted on the basis that the Group has no board representation and does not intend to exercise its option to appoint one, takes no part in policy-making or in operating and financial decisions, and has no material transactions with either entity; the interests are held passively and free of holding and administration costs. The retained interests are therefore classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9. Fair value is a Level 3 measurement determined by reference to the consideration attributable to the 75% interest disposed, grossed up pro-rata to the retained 25% holding, no observable market data being available.
Deferred consideration on the disposal of the Molyhil Joint Venture (notes 7 and 12)
Consideration for the disposal of the Group's 75% interest in the Molyhil Joint Venture to Tivan Limited is payable in instalments to September 2028. The Directors have judged the deferred instalments to be contractual amounts receivable rather than contingent consideration, as they fall due on the passage of time and are not conditional on any future event, and they are therefore recognised in full as a financial asset at amortised cost. They have been discounted at 13% per annum, being the Directors' estimate of the rate at which the Group could obtain financing of a similar amount and duration; no observable market rate exists for an instrument of this nature. At 30 June 2026 the carrying amount was £1,688,000 against undiscounted instalments of A$3,937,500 (£1,969,000), and discount unwinding of £72,000 was recognised in interest during the year.
The receivable is unsecured and due from a single counterparty. In assessing expected credit losses the Directors have had regard to Tivan Limited's listing on the ASX, receipt of the September and December 2025 instalments in full and on time, the counterparty's option to settle in cash or its own shares, and the absence of any past due amount; on that basis credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and the loss allowance is not material. The judgement remains sensitive: the final two instalments fall due in September 2027 and 2028, and a deterioration in the counterparty's position, or settlement in shares worth less than the instalment, could result in recovery below the carrying amount, which at £1,688,000 is 19% of Group total assets and represents the maximum exposure to credit loss. During September 2026 the Group received the first instalment of £656,000 with Tivan electing to pay 50% in cash and 50% in shares.
2. Segmental analysis – Group
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
The Group’s operations are located in Australia and the United States of America, with the head office located in the United Kingdom. The main tangible assets of the Group, cash and cash equivalents, are held in the United States of America and Australia. The Board ensures that adequate amounts are transferred internally to allow all companies to carry out their operational on a timely basis.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment of business being the exploration for commodities. The Group currently has two geographical reportable segments – United States of America and Australia.

The basic earnings per share is derived by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue.
As the inclusions of the potential Ordinary Shares would result in a decrease in the loss per share they are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such not included.

The Directors undertook an assessment of the following areas and circumstances that could indicate the existence of impairment:
In the year ended 30 June 2026, this impairment assessment resulted in an impairment expense of £42,000 (2025: £5,026,000) from the disposal of its remaining Molyhil tenements and the write-down of EL30821, EL28948 and EL24392.
During the year, Thor entered into a term sheet with ASX-listed Tivan Limited (“Tivan”) for the sale of the tenements and associated mining information comprising the Molyhil Joint Venture, which holds the Molyhil Tungsten/Molybdenum/Copper Project (the “Project”) in the Northern Territory, Australia. Thor held a 75% interest through its subsidiary Molyhil Mining Pty Ltd (“Molyhil”), with ASX-listed Investigator Resources Limited (“Investigator” or “IVR”) (ASX: IVR) held the remaining 25%. Consideration is payable in the following tranches:

The future consideration has been discounted to present value using the Group’s estimated current borrowing cost, reflecting the cost of capital and the timing of the receipts, which extend to September 2028. The resulting net present value of the consideration was A$5.74 million (£2.78 million). Interest income of A$137,191 (£72,260) was recognised in the year in respect of the unwinding of that discount. The carrying value of £4,692,000, relating to the Molyhil project and the 60% interest in the Bonya tenements, was derecognised on disposal. The second payment was received in September 2026 with Tivan electing to pay 50% in cash and 50% in shares

At the commencement of the year ended 30 June 2024, Thor held a 30% equity interest in private Australian company, EnviroCopper Limited (“ECL”). ECL had agreed to earn, in two stages, up to 75% of the rights over metals which may be recovered via ISR contained in the Kapunda deposit from Australian listed company, Terramin Australia Limited (“Terramin” ASX: “TZN”), and rights to 75% of the Alford West copper project comprising the northern portion of exploration licence EL5984 held by Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX: AND, “Andromeda”).
During the year ended 30 June 2024, ECL signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 25% of exploration Licence 5984 from Andromeda. As part of the acquisition consideration, ECL issued Andromeda 203,008 ECL shares equivalent to 5% of the current ECL capitalisation. This issue of ECL shares diluted Thor’s equity interest in ECL to 28.6%. ECL then issued a further 101,504 ECL shares upon successful completion of a Site Environmental Lixiviant Test to dilute Thor’s holdings to 26.3%. On 7th October 2024 there was an additional allotment to dilute Thor’s ownership to 25.8%. On 31 December 2024 ECL then issued a further 321,405 shares to Aligator Energy diluting Thor’s Ownership to 24%. On 28th November 2024 the Thor representative on the ECL board resigned and was not replaced. At this point it was determined that Thor energy did not have significant influence over the decision making of ECL and the investment was reclassified as a Financial asset held at fair value through profit and loss. On 2 March 2026 Lincoln Moore, a Director of the Group, was appointed as a Director to ECL. The Directors assessed the same indicators in combination: Thor holds 24%, above the 20% level at which significant influence is presumed; board representation, although non-executive, restores Thor's vote on matters reserved to the ECL board and its access to board information; and technical information is again exchanged in respect of the project. Therefore on appointment date the investment was reclassified from fair value through profit or loss to an equity accounted investee from that date.
During the year, ECL raised A$3.5 million (£1.75 million). This funding is convertible to equity shares at the option of the investor and therefore ECL has not issued shares till date. This could potentially dilute the holding to 20%. As management cannot reliably estimate the occurrence of the issue of shares and therefore investment in ECL is computed based on 24% of the net assets of the ECL
See note 22 for summarised financial information for the investment
(e) Acquisition of Go Exploration Pty Ltd:
On 17 February 2025, Thor acquired 80.2% of the equity instruments of Go Exploration Pty Ltd (GOX) an Australian based company with rights to the PEL 120 Hydrogen exploration licence.
Under IFRS 3, a business must have three elements: inputs, processes and outputs to constitute a business combination.
At acquisition GOX was a largely dormant exploration company with little underlying assets. Whilst the entity had titles to mineral properties this could not be considered inputs because of their early stage of development.
Additionally, the Company had no processes including no workforce to produce outputs and had not completed a feasibility study or a preliminary economic assessment on any of their properties and had no infrastructure or assets that could produce outputs. Therefore, the Directors’ conclusion was that the transactions were asset acquisitions and not business combinations.
The details of Thor’s acquisition of GOX are as follows:

(f) Disposal of Standard Minerals and Cisco Minerals:
On 12th August 2025, the Group completed the disposal of 75% of its remaining U.S. subsidiaries Standard Minerals Inc. and Cisco Minerals Inc., which held the Group’s vanadium and uranium projects, resulting in a loss of control due to disposal of a majority stake. Total consideration received was £100,000 cash together with the issue of freely tradable shares in Metals One Plc with a fair value of approximately £761,024. Following the disposal, the Group retained a 25% interest in both entities. A reconciliation to the loss recorded in the profit and loss is below:

1 -The fair value of the retained 25% interest in each Subsidiary (£287,000) in aggregate) has been determined by the Directors based on the implied value of the disposal transaction, being the total consideration attributed to a 75% interest grossed up pro-rata to reflect the retained 25% holding. No independent valuation was obtained. The Directors consider this basis to be a reasonable approximation of fair value at the disposal date.

Deferred consideration is the staged payments owed for the Group’s disposal of its Molyhil tenements to Tivan. Refer to Note 7 and 19.2 for further information.
At 30 June 2026 all trade and other receivables were fully performing. No ageing analysis is considered necessary as the Group has no significant trade receivables which would require such an analysis to be disclosed under the requirements of IFRS 9.
The above trade receivables and other assets are held predominantly in Australian Dollars.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above. The Group does not hold any collateral as security.

18. Contingent liabilities and commitments
Ongoing exploration expenditure is required to maintain title to the Group’s mineral exploration permits. The Group’s total annual exploration commitments, including rent, at 30 June 2026 were £25,000 (2025: £72,000). No provision has been made in the financial statements for these amounts, as the expenditure is expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the Group.
The Directors are aware of native title claims which cover certain tenements. The Group’s policy is to operate in a mode that takes into account the interests of all stakeholders including traditional owners’ requirements and environmental requirements. At the present date no claims for native title have seriously affected exploration by the Company.
As at 30 June 2026, the Group had no contingent liabilities.
19. Financial instruments
The Group uses financial instruments comprising cash, liquid resources and debtors/creditors that arise from its operations.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise.
The Group’s exposure to currency and liquidity risk is not considered significant. The Group’s cash balances are held in Pounds Sterling and in Australian Dollars, the latter being the currency in which the significant operating expenses are incurred.
To date the Group has relied upon equity funding to finance operations. The Directors are confident that they will be able to raise additional equity capital to finance operations to commercial exploitation but controls over expenditure are carefully managed.
The Group does not generally enter into derivative transactions (such as interest rate swaps and forward foreign currency contracts) and it is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.
The net fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying values disclosed in the financial statements.
Refer to note 17 for a breakdown of Group cash.
The financial assets comprise interest earning bank deposits and a bank operating account.
19.1 Financial instruments by category
Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Group’s financial instruments recognised in the financial statements. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables approximate to book value due to their short-term maturity.

19.2 Financial instruments objectives and policies
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. These risks are limited by the Group’s financial management policies and practices described below:
The Group does not hedge its foreign currencies. Transactions with vendors are mainly denominated in a small number of currencies, predominantly Australian Dollar, US Dollar and British Pounds. Therefore, the directors consider that the currency exposure arising from these transactions is not significant to the Group.
At present the Group does not have any formal policy for hedging against exchange exposure. The Group may, when necessary, enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against exposure from currency fluctuations, however, the Group has not entered into any currency forward contracts to date.
As the Group had no turnover during the year, its credit risk arises principally on cash and cash equivalents held with banks and on the deferred consideration receivable from the disposal of the Molyhil FRAM JV. The Group does not have written credit risk management policies or guidelines. The Group’s cash is held in reputable banks. The carrying amount of these financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure. No collateral was held as security and other credit enhancements during the period. No financial assets are impaired or past due at the end of the reporting period.
The Group's principal concentration of credit risk at 30 June 2026 is the deferred consideration receivable from Tivan under the sale of the Group's 75% interest in the FRAM JV, comprising three annual instalments of A$1,312,500(£656,000) ( each (A$3,937,500 (£1,968,750) in aggregate) falling due in September 2026, 2027 and 2028 and carried at present value. The Directors do not consider this to represent a significant credit risk. The instalments are fixed contractual amounts under a binding sale agreement that completed on 19 January 2026, payable in cash or in Tivan shares at Tivan's election; the initial deposit and the A$2,250,00(£1,125,000) completion payment were received in full when due; the first payment of the three deferred consideration was received in September 2026 with Tivan electing to pay 50% in cash and 50% in shares. The Directors monitor the counterparty's ASX announcements and financial position and have recognised no expected credit loss against the receivable.
To ensure liquidity, the Group maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations as and when they fall due. All amounts included in liabilities are expected to fall due within one year.
The Group has no interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rates on bank deposits are based on the relevant national interbank offered rates. The Group has no fixed interest rate assets.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.
20. Related party transactions
