CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to update stakeholders on our performance for the six months
ended 31 August 2025. Following a period of engineering investment and
corporate restructuring, we are now transitioning from capacity build-up into
a scaling phase. Our growth potential far surpasses our current operational
footprint. The results for the period demonstrate meaningful improvements in
cost performance, cash discipline, and operating leverage, which collectively
support the delivery of our growth strategy. The combination of developmental
and operational assets featuring a suite of critical minerals including tin,
tantalum, lithium, tungsten and copper, located in an investment-friendly
jurisdiction, position the group as a strategic source of future supply.
Safety Performance
Our safety performance continues to improve meaningfully, supported by several
targeted initiatives including quarterly safety audits, Visible Felt
Leadership engagements, and our Elimination of Fatalities programme. These
efforts, combined with the commitment of our operational teams, have enhanced
our safety culture. During the period, no fatalities were recorded, the LTIFR
improved from 1.74 in H1 FY2025 to 0.00 and the TRIFR reduced from 6.50 to
4.53. Ongoing employee training sessions and capacity building have also been
central in strengthening our safety culture and enhancing overall workplace
safety. As we approach the traditionally high-risk festive season, we are
implementing enhanced safety measures with added vigilance to ensure that the
strong performance achieved to date is maintained. The wellbeing of our
employees remains paramount, and we are committed to embedding world-class
safety standards across all operations.
Uis Mine Operational Performance
The Uis Mine, located on Uis mining license (ML134), is our main initial
producing asset and has maintained its long-term production growth trajectory
during the period under review. The ore processed increased by 10% YoY to 527
583 tonnes (H1 FY2025: 481 504 tonnes) reflecting continued plant stability.
The plant processing rate increased by 8% to 143tph, (H1 FY2025: 132tph),
demonstrating the results of ongoing optimisation initiatives. Tin concentrate
production increased by 14% to 858 tonnes (H1 FY2025: 752 tonnes) resulting in
the 11% increase in contained tin tonnage to 511 tonnes (H1 FY2025: 462
tonnes).
Tantalum concentrate production increased by 12% to 27.1 tonnes (H1
FY2025:24.3 tonnes), fully in line with targeted production levels. Revenue
from tantalum increased to £0.3 million (H1 FY2025: £0.06 million),
representing 3% of Group revenue. Importantly, tantalum carries a low
incremental cost of production, meaning a substantial portion of this revenue
flows directly to gross profit strengthening margins and supporting
diversification.

Uis Mine Development Projects
While management is pleased with the consistent incremental production growth of the Uis Mine, we believe that the asset presents potential for exponential growth as part of a larger Andrada project portfolio. Our development projects for the mine are aimed at rapidly expanding existing tin and tantalum production and establishing a new lithium concentrate product, all from the same run-of-mine ore feed. We believe that our development projects will improve the Company's financial performance by decreasing the overall unit cost of production resulting in positive group cash flows and improved margins through planned substantial increases in production volumes.
Uis Mine Ore Sorter Project
The Ore Sorter Project is projected to boost production of tin and tantalum
concentrate by approximately 60% and reduce the unit cost of production. The
circuit will be installed at the front end of the existing concentrator plant
and will pre-concentrate the run-of-mine ore from the mining pit, resulting in
an enriched ore feed to the existing concentrator. Pre-concentration will be
achieved by employing proven ore sorting technology.
Project implementation has been delayed due to corporate restructuring and reprioritisation of capital. In addition, the project was the subject of a reengineering initiative resulting in a saving of more than 20% of the outstanding capital. The Ore Sorter Project has been established as a key deliverable for 2026. Long lead items have been procured and are being stored on site. Fabrication of the remaining parts of the circuit is set to commence during first half of 2026, with commissioning scheduled for the second half 2026.
Uis Mine Lithium Expansion
The run-of-mine ore processed for tin and tantalum also contains notable grades of lithium as confirmed in the JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate for Uis. (See announcements dated 6 February 2023, 20 March 2023 and 10 Aprill 2025). It is our aim to monetise the lithium by producing a high purity concentrate by means of a beneficiation circuit integrated with our current processing plant. A techno-economic assessment, based on extensive metallurgical test work, has confirmed the technical and financial potential of the project. The Company intends to progress the project towards the DFS phase. Andrada management believes that the project has the potential to positively transform the cash generating ability of the Uis Mine and is engaging both potential offtake and development partners with a view of fast-tracking progress towards implementation.
Uis Mine Exploration
In April 2025, we released the initial drill results from our exploration programme targeting 13 proximal pegmatites located within previously mined areas of the Uis mining licence (ML134). These pegmatites lie within a 3 km radius of the existing Uis processing plant and form part of a much larger swarm of approximately 180 mineralised pegmatites identified to date across the licence area. The programme comprises 44 diamond drill holes and 177 reverse circulation holes, forming part of a broader strategy to validate historical datasets and assess the by-product potential of the extensive pegmatite system. The results from this initial phase were highly encouraging, including high-grade intersections of up to 1.13% tin, 1.76% lithium oxide, and 281ppm tantalum. The results validate our strategy to pursue a targeted expansion of the Uis resource base toward 200 million tonnes, strengthening the foundation for sustainable growth and positioning the operation to support both existing tin and tantalum output and future lithium opportunities. (See announcement dated 10 April 2025).
Partnerships
Jig Plant and Third-Party High-Grade Ore Supply
The Jig Plant represents an operational partnership with Birca Mining (Pty) Ltd. The plant is located at the site of the Uis Mine processing facility with the primary purpose of processing third-party high-grade ore from the region. Construction was completed in August 2025 on time and on budget, but commissioning was hampered by material flow issues and is still in progress. (See announcement dated 17 June 2025). Management however believes that these commissioning challenges are temporary and will be resolved.
Uis Tin Mining Company (Pty) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Andrada,
entered into an ore supply and profit-sharing agreement (the "Agreement") with
Goantagab Mining in June 2025. (See announcement dated 17 June 2025). The
supply of the high-grade ore under the Agreement, however, has been delayed
following a recent, new court judgement affecting the Goantagab mining claims.
As set out in the announcement dated 17 June 2025, certain legislative
environmental concerns had been raised in connection with a portion of the
Goantagab mining claims. The new judgement means that all major mining
activity on all the Goantagab mining claims has now been halted, pending a
final court decision. At this stage there can be no certainty as to when the
ore supply under Agreement will commence. Andrada continues to engage
constructively with Goantagab Mining and all affected parties to reach an
amicable resolution for the co-existence of conservation, mining and job
creation.
The Company believes in the long-term economic potential of external ore supply partnerships and will continue to actively seek similar opportunities. In the absence of a third-party ore supply, Andrada intends to supply the Jig Plant with ore from the Uis Mine.
Lithium Ridge
Andrada has partnered with SQM Australia (Pty) Ltd ("SQM") for the development of the Lithium Ridge mineral license. Prior to the period under review, Andrada received deal approval from the Namibian Competition Commission which paved the way for the implementation of a mineral exploration programme funded by SQM as part of an earn-in agreement. The programme is designed to unlock the full potential of the mineralised ridge and to extend exploration across the wider licence area where new spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been identified. The 14 000 metre DD programme commenced in August 2025 comprising approximately 120 orientated holes, to determine the depth of the extensions and continuity of the mineralisation already identified at surface.
Talent10
During June 2025, Andrada welcomed Talent10 Resources (Pty) Ltd ("Talent10") as a new strategic institutional shareholder through an equity subscription for £4.5 million which resulted in an 8% interest in the Company. Talent10 has a highly respected southern African mining pedigree, backed by a network of some of the top names in the industry. The partnership supports the capital projects at Uis and places Andrada at the heart of an ecosystem primed to accelerate our future growth.
Consolidated Financial Performance
Profit and Loss Statement
Revenue
Revenue increased by 12% to £12.2 million (H1 FY2025: £10.8 million) driven
by increased sales volume and strong tin pricing. As the Company executes its
tin expansion strategy that includes the additional processing capacity
provided by the Jig Plant, revenue is expected to continue to increase in line
with higher production.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by 27% to £1.9 million (H1 FY2025: £2.6 million)
because of a 25% increase in the cost of sales, driven by inflationary
increases in production costs including mining and processing. These cost
movements are consistent with an asset undergoing expansion and optimisation,
and they are expected to improve as the Jig Plant and Uis Mine operational
improvements contribute incremental efficiency gains.
Cash operating costs per tonne of contained tin analysis.
Unit cash operating costs include tantalum credits, exclude the Orion royalty
charge and reflect operational half-year adjustments. These figures are not
directly comparable to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
cost of sales, which incorporates depreciation, stock movements, accruals and
other non-cash adjustments under IFRS accounting definitions.
· C1 cash cost: decreased by 6% YoY to US$17 468 (H1 FY2025: US$18
640).
· C2 cash costs: decreased by 6% YoY to US$19 594 (H1 FY2025: US$20
887).
· All - In - Sustaining Cost: decreased by 4% YoY to US$24 808 (H1
FY2025: US$25 236). The decrease in AISC is due to the increase in production.
· The decrease in all costs is primarily due to higher production
tonnage.
· Orion royalty: increased to US$3 054 (H1 FY2025: US$1 611) due to
the increased rate in relation to the scaling mechanism of the royalty rate
based on concentrate tonnage sold. The royalty rate is anticipated to decrease
as the production of tin concentrate increases.
Operating loss
The operating loss decreased by 35% to £0.9 million (H1 FY2025: loss £1.5
million) mainly due to a 26% decrease in administrative expenses driven by a
reduction in employee costs, professional fees, travelling costs and Uis mine
expenses. These categories collectively constitute 69% of administrative
expenditure. This was further supported by the restructuring of the
Johannesburg head office headcount at the beginning of the reporting period.
Net loss
Net loss improved by 6% to £3.0 million (H1 FY2025: net loss of £3.2
million) primarily despite a £0.2 million tax expense arising from changes in
the Namibian tax legislation requiring a tax charge on subsidiary profits. No
comparable tax charge was required in the comparative period. Excluding this
unique tax impact, the underlying net loss improved by 13% to £2.8 million.
Financial Position Statement
Assets
Total assets increased by 3% YoY to £69.0 million (H1 FY2025: £66.9 million)
due to the continued investment into property, plant and equipment ("PPE")
mainly related to Continuous Improvement 2 programme equipment including the
new filter press and shaking tables at Uis Mine. Trade and other receivables
increased to £7.9 million (H1 FY2025: £4.4 million) largely due to tin
prepayments. Total assets, however, during the interim period decreased
marginally by 1% from £69.6 million at the end of February 2025 primarily due
to a reduction of £1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents in the six months
reflecting ongoing investment activity and debt-service requirements.
Equity
Total equity decreased by 13% YoY to £25.5 million (H1 FY2025: £29.5 million) mainly due to accumulated losses during the period under review. However, within the six months from March 2025, total equity increased by 8% mainly due to the significant increase in share capital of £5.5 million from the equity raise in June 2025 and the issuance of shares in lieu of interest to convertible loan note holders. The increased share capital demonstrates continued support from both existing and new institutional shareholders and reinforces confidence in the long-term potential of Andrada's asset base.
Liabilities
Total liabilities grew 15% year-on-year to £43.2 million, driven by increases
in trade payables and borrowings totalling £5.4 million over 12 months. The
borrowings include the £2.0 million funding from The Orange Trust for the
procurement of the Jig Plant. (See announcement dated 12 February 2025). The
proceeds have also been instrumental in accelerating the Company's exploration
initiatives, enhancing production capabilities, and creating new job
opportunities for Namibians. The liabilities however during the interim period
from March 2025 decreased by 6% representing a £2.7 million reduction
including approximately £1 million decrease in total borrowings, £0.9
million reduction in financial liabilities and £0.6 million decrease in trade
payables. These actions collectively demonstrate prudent capital deployment
and enhanced operational capacity.
Tin price hedge
Andrada continues to manage price volatility proactively through a structured
hedging strategy. The Company entered a series of fixed-for-floating commodity
swap arrangements, initially with Standard Bank Namibia and subsequently with
Bank Windhoek to stabilise cashflows in line with prevailing tin market
conditions.
· The Standard Bank hedge was effective from June 2024 to May 2025,
locking in a fixed tin price of US$33 000 per tonne for 20 tonnes per month.
· The current Bank Windhoek contract runs from June 2025 to May
2026, securing a fixed price of US$34 400 per tonne for the same 20-tonne
monthly volume.
Settlements on these swaps was paid out monthly and recognised in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income. A derivative financial liability was
recognised at period-end to account for open contracts, reflecting the
difference between the hedged fixed price and the prevailing LME three-month
tin price.
Cashflow Statement
The Company started the interim period with approximately £1.8 million cash
and cash equivalents closing the six months period with £0.7 million. This
closing position reflects the £2.8 million in net funding secured during the
period, largely through the strategic investment made by Talent10. The net
outflows of £1.7 million were constituted of approximately £1 million in
interest and lease payments and bank debt repayments of £0.7 million.
Cashflows for the period were predominantly driven by investing and financing
activities, consistent with Andrada's growth phase. PPE continued to dominate
investing cashflows at approximately £3 million constituting the bulk of the
of the £3.2 million net cash utilised in investing in activities. Andrada
closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk as well as daily working
capital requirements. Cashflow forecasts are updated regularly, considering
potential logistical delays in global concentrate shipments, to ensure the
Group maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations.
Evolving our cost and quarterly reporting framework
As Andrada's operational footprint expands, we continue to refine the way we
report performance to ensure stakeholders receive information that is
accurate, reliable, and useful for valuation. Quarterly cost and pricing
estimates, while previously included, have proven increasingly misleading due
to short reporting cycles and normal fluctuations in grade, recoveries,
shipment timing, inventory movements, and foreign-exchange rates. These
factors can distort the underlying progress we are making on efficiency and
margin improvement. To address this, we will no longer publish quarterly cost
and pricing estimates in operational updates. These metrics will continue to
be reported in full at interim and year-end results, where the necessary
context can be provided. Quarterly updates will remain substantive and
transparent, focusing on production, project execution, and development
progress, which together offer a more accurate reflection of the Company's
progress.
POST-PERIOD

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of accounting
The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance
with UK-adopted international accounting standards. The consolidated interim
financial information also complies with the AIM Rules for Companies, NSX
Listing Requirements, OTCQB Listing Requirements and the Companies (Guernsey)
Law, 2008 and shows a true and fair view.
The material accounting policies applied in preparing these consolidated
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently
applied throughout the period. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention except as where stated.
The interim financial information for the six months to 31 August 2025 is
unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial information. The
statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2025 are available on the
Company's website.
b. Going concern
The Group closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk and day-to-day
working capital requirements. Cash forecasts are regularly prepared,
considering the global logistical challenges around sales, to ensure there is
sufficient cash within the Group to meet its obligations. The Group runs
sensitivities for different scenarios, including but not limited to changes in
commodity prices and exchange rates. The Group also routinely monitors the
covenants associated with the borrowing facilities and proactively engages
with Bank Windhoek and the Development Bank of Namibia, the lenders, whenever
there is any risk. All covenants were met as at 28 February 2025 and at 31
August 2025. Based on the year-to date production profile and latest forecast,
the Group is expected to meet its covenant obligations for the testing period
through February 2026. For the purpose of assessing going concern, the
directors have prepared forecasts through February 2027.
The main estimates considered in management's going concern assessment include
production profiles, commodity price assumptions for tin, lithium and
tantalum, exchange rate forecasts and committed capital. The production output
is based on the Group's current production performance following the
completion of the expansion project, as well as additional production expected
from the successful completion of the continuous improvement (two) capital
project. In addition, the Group successfully secured £5 million (before
placing fees) through a strategic subscription and placing in June 2025. £4.5
million was raised through an equity subscription by Talent10 Resources, a new
strategic investor, with the balance of £500 000 being raised through
institutional investors. These funds will be used to expedite the production
expansion at the Uis mine. These developments support management's view that
the Group has the capacity to raise the funding required to meet its
operational and financing obligations in the normal course of business until
February 2027. The Group also retains the flexibility to adjust the pace of
its exploration and metallurgical capital expenditure.
Based on the forecasts, additional funding will be required within the next 12
months. As the Group is also currently expanding its tin operations, which
are close to near-term production, the cash flow forecast assumes the
successful completion of the jig plant to deliver the business strategy.
Further funding will be required for additional exploration and capital
projects as well as feasibility studies related to future growth phases. These
forecasts are sensitive to fluctuations in the quoted tin price.
The Group believes it has several options available to it, including but not
limited to, use of the overdraft facility, restructuring of the current debt,
acquiring additional debt or equity, cost reduction strategies as well as
potential offtake arrangements.
As a result of their review, the Directors have confidence in the Group's
forecasts and have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in
operational existence for the going concern assessment period and have
therefore used the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated
financial statements.
Therefore, the Group is reliant on additional funding, which is not
guaranteed. This indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and
that the Group may be unable to realise its assets or settle its liabilities
in the normal course of business.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from
the basis of preparation being inappropriate.
Basis of consolidation
i. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the
Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are
fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company
transactions, balances and unrealised gains/losses on transactions between
Group companies are eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by
subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting
policies.
ii. Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the
Group's equity therein. Those interests of non-controlling shareholders that
present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share
of the net assets upon liquidation are initially measured at fair value. After
acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of
those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests'
share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is
attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The Group does not have
any non-controlling interests.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control,
is accounted for as an equity transaction. Any excess or deficit of
consideration paid over the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests
is recognized in the equity of the parent in transactions where the
non-controlling interests are acquired or sold without loss of control. The
Group has elected to recognize this effect in retained earnings.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the Directors are
required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty
considered by management in preparing the interim financial information is
provided below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if
the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and in
future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
iii. Going concern and liquidity
Significant estimates were required in forecasting cash flows used in the
assessment of going concern, including tin, tantalum and lithium prices,
levels of production, operating costs, and capital expenditure requirements.
For further details, refer to the going concern considerations laid out
earlier in Note 2(b).
iv. Decommissioning and rehabilitation obligations
Estimating the future costs of environmental and rehabilitation obligations is
complex and requires management to make estimates and judgements. Actual costs
incurred in future periods could differ materially from the estimates, and
changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates,
inflation rates, and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of the
provision. The resulting provisions are further influenced by advances in
technology and by political, environmental, safety, business, and statutory
considerations.
The Group's rehabilitation provision is based on the net present value of
management's best estimates of future rehabilitation costs. Judgement is
required in determining the disturbance and associated rehabilitation costs at
period end, timing of costs, discount rates, and inflation. In forming
estimates of the cost of rehabilitation which are risk-adjusted, the Group
assessed the Environmental Management Plan and reports provided by internal
and external experts.
In determining the amount attributable to the rehabilitation liability,
management used a risk-free discount rate of 12.31% (August 2024: 11.02% and
February 2025: 12.31%), an inflation rate of 4.0% (August 2024: 4.8% and
February 2025: 4.0%) and an estimated mining period of 11.15 years (August
2024: 12.1 years and February 2025: 11.65 years), being the 15.6 million
tonnes of ore as per the independent mineral reserve estimate. The rates used
are in line with the Namibian market rates.
v. Impairment indicator assessment for exploration and evaluation assets
Determining whether an exploration and evaluation asset is impaired requires
an assessment of whether there are any indicators of impairment, including
specific impairment indicators prescribed in IFRS 6 "Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources". If there is any indication of potential
impairment, an impairment test is required based on the asset's value-in-use.
The valuation of intangible exploration assets is dependent upon the discovery
of economically recoverable deposits which, in turn, is dependent on future
tin prices, projected capital expenditures, environmental and regulatory
restrictions, and the successful renewal of licences.
The Directors have concluded that there are no indications of impairment in
respect of the carrying value of Namibian intangible assets at 31 August 2025
based on planned future development of the Namibian projects and current and
forecast tin prices.
vi. Impairment assessment for property, plant and equipment
Management assessed the Uis mine for indicators of impairment by considering
several factors including, the operational performance to date at the Uis Tin
Mine, forecasts on commodity prices, production profile, inflation rate,
post-tax discount rate and market capitalisation of the Group. The Management
have also reviewed the underlying Life of Mine ("LoM") valuation model for the
JORC compliant resource declared to date at the Uis mine. The LoM valuation
model represents a value in use model and includes assessments of different
scenarios associated with capital improvements and expansion opportunities.
The assessment did not result in an impairment.
The forecasts require estimates regarding tin, tantalum and lithium prices,
ore resources, production, operating and capital costs. Under the base case
scenario, management used a tin price of US$32 000 per tonne, tantalum price
of US$175 000 per tonne, lithium price of US$1 120 per tonne, discount (real),
post-tax rate of 11.5% (23.2% pre-tax real rate). The forecast indicates
sufficient headroom as at 31 August 2025.
IAS 36 outlines both external and internal indicators that may suggest an
asset is impaired. As part of this review, management has considered these
indicators in relation to the Uis mining asset. Based on IAS 36, no immediate
indicators of impairment have been identified. However, management
acknowledges that the recoverability of the mining asset is sensitive to the
following key assumptions:
· Volatility in tin prices, which directly impacts revenue
projections. The estimation of future tin price is subject to uncertainty
considering the volatility of the market. Management has therefore compared
the forecast tin price with the economic consensus estimates.
· Ramp-up of tin production anticipated from FY2027 onwards,
following the completion of the jig plant and followed by the ore sorters
expansion project in FY2028. Management's forecasts are dependent on tin
production increasing by 45% to 2 600 tonnes of tin concentrate within the
next 3 years; therefore, the Group's upcoming focus will be to deliver on its
expansion projects
Management has considered these indicators and tested the recoverability of
the net book value of the mining asset against the estimated discounted future
cash flows based on expectations of future commodity prices and future costs.
As an additional test, management has performed the following sensitivity
analyses:
· decreasing the forecast tin prices by 10%,
· increasing the discount rate to 13% post tax real rate,
· decreasing plant recovery by 10% and
· increasing operating costs by 10%.
In each of these circumstances, the result indicated sufficient headroom as at
31 August 2025.
vii. Depreciation
Judgement is applied in making assumptions about the depreciation charge for
mining assets when using the unit-of-production method in estimating the ore
tonnes held in reserves. The relevant reserves are those included in the
current approved LoM plan, which relates to the Phase 1 expansion. Judgement
is also applied when assessing the estimated useful life of individual assets
and residual values. Management reviews these assumptions annually, applying
judgement based on the LoM plan and the nature and condition of the underlying
assets. The reserve assumptions included in the LoM plan are evaluated by
management.
viii. Capitalisation and depreciation of waste stripping
The Group has elected to capitalise the costs of waste stripping activities
because they are necessary to enable improved access to the ore resulting in
future economic benefits. The costs for drilling, blasting, as well as load
and haul of waste material are capitalised until when the underlying ore is
used in production. These costs are capitalised within the mining asset in
property, plant and equipment in the statement of final position and
subsequently expensed back into the statement of comprehensive income as
depreciation on a proportional basis. Capitalisation of waste stripping
requires the Group to make judgements and estimates in determining the amounts
to be capitalised. These judgements and estimates include, among others, the
expected life of mine stripping ratio for each separate open pit, the
determination of what defines separate pits, and the expected volumes to be
extracted from each component of a pit for which the stripping asset is
depreciated.
ix. Determination of ore reserves
The estimation of ore reserves primarily impacts the depreciation charge of
evaluated mining assets, which are depreciated based on the quantity of ore
reserves. Reserve volumes are also used in calculating whether an impairment
charge should be recorded where an impairment indicator exists. The Group
estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled
by appropriately qualified persons relating to geological and technical data
on the size, depth, shape, and grade of the ore body and related to suitable
production techniques and recovery rates. The estimate of recoverable reserves
is based on factors such as tin prices, future capital requirements and
production costs, along with geological assumptions and judgements made in
estimating the size and grade of the ore body. There are numerous
uncertainties inherent in estimating ore reserves and mineral resources.
Consequently, assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change
significantly if or when new information becomes available.
x. Valuation of inventories
Judgement is applied in making assumptions about the value of inventories and
inventory stockpiles, including tin prices, plant recoveries and processing
costs, to determine the extent to which the Group values inventory and
inventory stockpiles. The Group uses tin price forecasts to determine the net
realisable value of the Run-Of-Mine ("ROM") stockpile and the tin concentrate
inventory at period end. Inventory stockpiles are measured using actual mining
and processing costs.
xi. Determining the fair value of royalty debt
The measurement of the royalty obligation factors in numerous key inputs, and
Management makes use of a technical expert. These inputs include the forecast
of the tin production and price over a period of 30 years, the risk-free rate
and the credit spread. The tin price forecast was based on estimates provided
as of 31 August 2024. The risk-free rate was based on the United States
Constant Maturity Treasury rates commensurate with the terms on the valuation
date, reported on the Federal Reserve website. The Group used a credit spread
of 10.58% computed by valuing the convertible notes at par and decreased by
3.5% to account for the lower risk factor because of the ongoing operations at
Uis Tin Mining Company ("UTMC"). UTMC operating subsidiary attracts a lower
risk factor because it is closely aligned to the underlying tin mining
operation and its performance since commissioned, compared to the holding
company, which is implicitly subordinated. The royalty obligation is measured
at fair value through profit and loss.
xii. Fair value estimation on the consideration paid during the acquisition of mining rights
When the fair values of assets recorded in the statement of financial position
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value
is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow
(DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is
required in establishing fair values. In accounting for the acquisition of the
non-controlling interest in UTMC, part of the consideration was settled using
the ML129 license. Due to the nature of the assets, certain exploration
activities were undertaken, but the information gathered was insufficient to
delineate a Mineral Resource as defined by the JORC 2012 (Joint Ore Reserves
Committee) Mineral Reporting Code, or any other broadly accepted mineral
reporting standard. As a result, management estimated the fair value to be
equivalent to the exploration costs, which will serve as the base amount for
the transaction.
xiii. Assessment of Control and Classification of Investment in Grace Simba Investments (Pty) Ltd ("GSI") as an Associate
The Group exercises judgement in assessing whether it has control, joint
control, or significant influence over another entity. In accordance with the
requirements of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, the determination of control
involves evaluating whether the Group has:
· Power over the investee,
· Exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with
the investee, and
· The ability to use its power to affect the amount of the
investor's returns.
In the current reporting period, the Group holds 100% of the equity interest
in GSI, along with representation on the board of directors and participation
in key operating decisions. However, after evaluating the relevant facts and
circumstances, including decision-making rights, and contractual arrangements,
management concluded that the Group does not have control over GSI, but has
significant influence over its financial and operating policies.
Accordingly, the investment in GSI has been accounted for using the equity
method, in accordance with IAS 28. This assessment required significant
judgement, because despite having majority shareholding, Andrada cannot
unilaterally direct relevant activities. The other party is GSI has
substantive governance rights and holds the casting vote on Board decisions.
Management will review such relationships periodically to assess whether any
changes in facts or circumstances require a reassessment of control or
influence.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
The following amendments standards and interpretations were adopted by the
group from 1 March 2024:
· Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 & IFRS 7);
· Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS16);
· Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
(Amendments to IAS 1); and
· Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1).

amendments also provide guidance on characteristics of supplier finance
arrangements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)
On 22 September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability
in a Sale and Leaseback (the Amendments). Prior to the Amendments, IFRS 16 did
not contain specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities that may
contain variable lease payments arising in a sale and leaseback transaction.
In applying the subsequent measurement requirements of lease liabilities to a
sale and leaseback transaction, the Amendments require a seller-lessee to
determine 'lease payments' or 'revised lease payments' in a way that the
seller-lessee would not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates
to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current and Non-current
Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 in January 2020 Classification of
Liabilities as Current or Non-current and subsequently, in October 2022
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants.
The amendments clarify the following:
· An entity's right to defer settlement of a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period must have substance and must exist at
the end of the reporting period.
· If an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is
subject to covenants, such covenants affect whether that right exists at the
end of the reporting period only if the entity is required to comply with the
covenant on or before the end of the reporting period.
· The classification of a liability as current or non-current is
unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer
settlement.
· In case of a liability that can be settled, at the option of the
counterparty, by the transfer of the entity's own equity instruments, such
settlement terms do not affect the classification of the liability as current
or non-current only if the option is classified as an equity instrument.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET APPLIED
The following standards, interpretations and amendments are effective for the
period beginning 1 March 2025:
· Lack of Exchangeability (Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates). Effective 1 January 2025.
· Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial
Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial
Instruments Disclosures). Effective 1 January 2026.
· Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures).
Effective 1 January 2026.
· IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
Effective 1 January 2027.
· IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures.
Effective 1 January 2027.
Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the updated standards,
interpretations and amendments. The most significant impact is expected due to
the updates of IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IFRS 18.

9. LOSS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The calculation of a basic loss per share of 0.19 pence (August 2024: loss per
share of 0.21 pence and February 2025: loss per share of 0.63 pence) is
calculated using the total loss for the period attributable to the owners of
the Company of £3 009 205 (August 2024: loss of £3 215 983 and February
2025: loss of £9 789 123) and the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the period of 1 729 713 674 (August 2024: 1 591 793 522 and February
2025: 1 622 728 373). Due to the loss for the period, the diluted loss per
share is the same as the basic loss per share. The number of potentially
dilutive ordinary shares in respect of share options, warrants and shares to
be issued as at 31 August 2025 is 147 235 043 (August 2024: 165 830 346 and
February 2025: 147 490 478). These potentially dilutive ordinary shares may
have a dilutive effect on future earnings per share.

Additions to the mining asset under construction consisted of the costs
incurred to date on the procuring of the XRT ore sorters as well as the
replacement of the filter press, thickener and shaking tables as part of the
Continuous Improvement project.
Additions to the mining asset consist of costs incurred as part of the
continuous improvement project as well as capitalised labour and travel costs.
Additions to explorations and evaluation assets represents costs incurred to
construct the lithium pilot plant which is treated as a tangible asset. The
lithium pilot plant is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 6.
The Group has elected to capitalise the costs of waste stripping activities as
these are necessary to allow improved access to the ore and, therefore, will
result in future economic benefits. The costs of drilling, blasting and load
and haul of waste material is capitalised until such time that the underlying
ore is used in production.

During 2022, a vehicle asset financing facility to the value of N$15 000 000
(c. £628 000) was provided by Standard Bank Namibia. Interest accrues on this
facility at the Namibian prime rate plus 0.5%.
On 21 July 2023, the Group issued 77 unsecured convertible loan notes of £100
000 each to new and existing investors. The notes have a term of 3 years, bear
interest at a rate of 12% per annum and can be redeemed at the option of the
Group or converted into ordinary shares at a fixed price of 9.45 by mutual
agreement between the Group and the note holders. As per IAS 32 and IFRS 9,
the fair value of the proceeds of the notes consisted of a liability and an
equity component. Refer to the Statement of Changes in Equity for the equity
portion of this instrument.
On 5 September 2023, the Development Bank of Namibia ("DBN") served notice
confirming that all conditions had been fulfilled or waived and that financial
close had occurred. Accordingly, the Group received the 1st drawdown of N$50
000 000 (c. £2 093 000) in September 2023 and the 2nd drawdown of the same
amount in March 2024, totalling an amount of N$100 000 000 (c. £4 186 000).
This loan has a term of 10 years, bears interest at the Namibian prime rate +
2.5% and is repayable in quarterly instalments. These funds have been used to
expedite the implementation of the Uis Mine Stage II Continuous Improvement
Programme.
On 22 November 2023, a US$25 000 000 (c. £19 800 000) funding packing was
concluded with Orion Resource Partners. This included US$2 500 000 (c. £2 000
000) equity, a US$10 000 000 (c. £7 900 000) Convertible Loan Note and a
US$12 500 000 (c. £9 900 000) unsecured tin royalty. The equity and loan note
have been used to accelerate Andrada's overall strategy of achieving
commercial production of its lithium, tin and tantalum revenue streams. The
royalty funds will be used for the sole purpose of increasing Andrada's tin
production.
On 6 August 2024, Uis Tin Mining Company agreed a N$100 000 000 (c. £4 186
000) term loan with Bank Windhoek. The loan has a term of 6 years and will
incur interest at the Namibian prime rate plus a variable margin which is
dependent on the prime rate and is repayable in quarterly instalments. Bank
Windhoek has provided short-term loan facilities of up to N$15 000 000 (c.
£628 000) for use as cash flow against future VAT payments. The initial term
of the loan was 12 months and in August 2025 the facility was renewed for a
further 12 months. The short-term loan incurs interest at the Namibian prime
rate. The short-term loan will be repaid to the bank upon receipt of refunds
from the Namibia Revenue Agency. In addition to the lending facilities, Bank
Windhoek has provided Andrada Mining (Namibia) with a N$10 000 000 (c. £419
000) guarantee to the Namibia Power Corporation in relation to a deposit
against the right to a supply of electrical power. This guarantee will incur a
small fee payable at six-month intervals.
The bank overdraft facility held with Bank Windhoek can be drawn down to a
maximum of N$50 000 000 (c. £2 145 000). This facility is for 12 months from
the date of drawdown and incurs interest at the Namibian prime rate minus
0.5%. This facility was renewed in June 2025 for another 12-month period.
As a result of the new facilities offered by Bank Windhoek, the Group settled
the balance of the term loan and the VAT facility owed to Standard Bank
Namibia.
On 12 February 2025, Andrada Mining Ltd entered into a US$2 500 000 (c. £2
000 000) secured funding facility from the Orange Trust. The loan term is six
months, and it will attract a facility fee of US$50 000 (c. £40 000) per
month. The Loan will fund the construction of a tin processing jig plant at
the Uis mine.

On 22 November 2023, the Group entered into an agreement with Orion Resource
Partners (royalty holder) whereby the holder purchased a gross revenue royalty
for US$12 500 000 (c. £9 251 000) from the Group. In exchange for the gross
revenue royalty, the Group is required to make quarterly royalty payments to
the holder based on the tin mined and sold by the Group. At initial
recognition, the royalty transaction was measured at fair value of US$12 560
000 (c. £9 296 000). In determining the fair value, management used a credit
spread rate of 10.58% and a risk-free rate of between 3.82% and 5.42%. As at
31 August 2025, the fair value of the royalty debt was £12 536 152 (August
2024: £10 339 736 and February 2025: £13 449 521).
The transaction also included the issue of one hundred unsecured convertible
loan notes of $100 000 (c. £74 000) each. The loan notes are redeemable in 4
years from the issue date. Written consent from the note holders is required
if the loan notes are redeemed prior to the maturity date. The interest
accrues quarterly at 12% per annum. The noteholders may, at any time before
the redemption date, convert the loan notes into Andrada ordinary shares in
tranches of a minimum of US$100 000 at a conversion price of 9.45 pence per
share. At initial recognition date, a derivative liability was recognised at a
fair value of £2 155 674. The derivative liability was subsequently valued at
£104 164 (August 2024: £1 411 709 and February 2025: £104 164). In
determining the fair value of the derivative, management used a credit spread
of 16.12%.
The deferred consideration refers to the present value of 240 monthly cash
payments of N$75 000 (c. £3 200) to be paid by Andrada Namibia to the Small
Miners of Uis ("SMU") as part of the purchase price for their minority
interest in UTMC. This liability was initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently at amortised cost. Please refer to Note 21 for further
information on this transaction.
The Group has entered a series of fixed-for-floating commodity swap
transactions initially with Standard Bank Namibia and subsequently with Bank
Windhoek to hedge against the variability in cash flows related to tin price
fluctuations. The Standard Bank contract was in place from June 2024 to May
2025 during which the Group received a fixed price of US$33 000 per tonne of
tin concentrate for 20 tonnes of material per month.
The Bank Windhoek contract is from June 2025 to May 2026, and the Group has
since received a fixed price of US$34 400 per tonne of tin concentrate for 20
tonnes of material per month. The gain or loss made monthly is settled in
cash. This swap contract is classified as a fair value instrument as the Group
is protecting against the risk of changes in the fair value of its forecasted
sales due to the tin price volatility. The Group uses both prospective and
retrospective methods to measure the relationship between changes in the tin
price and the commodity swap contract and in all cases the instrument is
effective. The gains or losses made on the instrument during the period are
recognised in Profit or Loss. A derivative financial liability was raised on
all open contracts at the end of the period based on the difference between
the LME 3-month tin price and the fixed price as per the agreement.

Provisions for future environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning costs
are made on a progressive basis. Estimates are based on costs that are
regularly reviewed and adjusted appropriately the reflect new circumstances.
The environmental rehabilitation liability is based on disturbances and the
required rehabilitation as at 31 August 2025.
The rehabilitation provision represents the present value of decommissioning
costs relating to; the dismantling and sale of mechanical equipment and steel
structures related to the Phase 1 plant, the tantalum circuit, the bulk
sampling processing facility and; the demolishing of civil platforms and
reshaping of earthworks. This provision requires estimates and assumptions to
be made around the relevant regulatory framework, the magnitude and timing of
the possible disturbance, extent and costs of the required closure and
rehabilitation activities.
In calculating the appropriate provision, cost estimates of the future
potential cash outflows based on current studies of the expected
rehabilitation activities and timing thereof are prepared. These forecasts are
then discounted to their present value using a risk-free rate appropriate for
the liability. In determining the amount attributable to the rehabilitation
liability, management used a discount rate of 11.02%, an inflation rate of
4.0% and an estimated mining period of 11.2 years. Actual rehabilitation and
decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the
necessary rehabilitation works and timing of the mine closure.

24. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
Earn-in Agreement
Andrada Mining (Mauritius) ("AMM") entered into an Earn-in Agreement dated 7
September 2024 with SQM Australia ("SQM") relating to Grace Simba Investments
("GSI"), a special purpose vehicle established in Namibia for the exploration
and development activities of Lithium Ridge. All conditions precedent were
satisfied on 17 February 2025 following the Namibia Competition Commission
approval. Under the terms of the agreement, SQM may earn up to a 50% equity
interest in GSI through staged funding contributions totalling up to US$40
million. The earn-in structure comprises three stages:
· Stage 1: 30% interest for US$7 million over 18 months.
· Stage 2: Additional 10% interest for US$13 million over 24
months.
· Stage 3: Final 10% interest by free-carrying Andrada to a
Definitive Feasibility Study or cumulative expenditure of US$40 million.
Governance and Control Assessment
During Stage 1, the governance structure includes equal board representation
from Andrada and SQM, however, SQM appoints the chairperson who holds a
casting vote. Strategic decisions, including share issuances and
constitutional amendments, require a shareholder resolution passed by at least
75% of the votes or unanimous written consent.
Andrada is the Operator of GSI, subject to oversight by a Joint Development
Committee ("JDC") with equal representation and a casting vote held by SQM.
However, all JDC decisions require board ratification and are subject to
reserved matters. The Board and the JDC decide on budgets, exploration
activities and development plans.
Accounting Treatment
In accordance with IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, Andrada has
assessed its involvement with GSI and has concluded that it does not have
control of the entity during Stage 1. This conclusion is based on the
following:
· Andrada does not have unilateral power over GSI's relevant
activities. These activities include exploration and drilling
programmes.
· While Andrada is exposed to variable returns through its
shareholding, it lacks the ability to use power to affect those returns.
· SQM holds substantive governance rights during the first earn-in
period.
Although the Group does not have control of GSI, it retains significant
influence over GSI due to the shareholding, participation in governance and
decision-making dynamics. Therefore, Andrada accounts for its investment in
GSI using the equity method under IAS 28. This includes initial recognition at
fair value as a single line in the Statement of Financial Position with
subsequent adjustments for its share of profits and dividends through the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Considering that there is no active market for
the rights within GSI, the best method of fair value determination is the Net
Asset Valuation, which is equivalent to the cost of the investment. The
investment is presented as a single line item in the non-current assets
section of the statement of financial position. According to IFRS 10.25, an
entity must recognise the fair value of the consideration received from the
transaction event or circumstances that resulted in the loss of control. The
$2 million participation received from SQM on satisfying the conditions
precedent is stated as a single line item on the statement of comprehensive
income.
25. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE
