Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Overview

As the year has progressed, the Company has made significant progress. The
value-accretive restructuring of UTMC simplified Andrada's ownership and
operational structure in the underlying licences while empowering our local
partners through equity ownership participation at Group level. The
restructuring has also created opportunities for more rapid asset development
through project-specific financing solutions. We believe that our continued
investment in exploration, metallurgy and asset development has earned us the
social licence to operate and established strategic worldclass partnerships.
During the interim period, we secured debt funding arrangements with
established lenders, including Standard Bank of Namibia (tin hedge) and Bank
Windhoek, for the implementation of our exciting growth projects.

The Company ramped up tantalum concentrate production, producing 25 tonnes and
shipping 15 tonnes to our off-taker, AfriMet, by the end of the period.
Despite an unforeseen mechanical breakdown at the processing plant, which
marginally increased costs, our ongoing CI2 Programme has improved overall
recovery rates. We expect significant performance improvements in FY 2026 as
we begin to reap the benefits of various capital projects.

Our lithium pilot plant continues to provide critical information for
potential off-take agreements and for the integration of the lithium
production circuit into the current plant. Although much of the material
produced at the pilot plant has been sent to potential off-take partners for
testing, we also achieved the first commercial petalite sale during the
period, demonstrating the suitability of Uis's ore for the global technical
grade market. We are also advancing our metallurgical test work programme to
unlock the petalite production project.

Recent results from the maiden drilling programme at Brandberg West confirmed
significant mineralisation within the historical pit, and the extensions to
the north. The exceptionally high-grade veins have added tungsten and copper
to our portfolio of critical minerals. Ongoing drilling at Uis will enhance
our understanding of various pegmatites and enable us to increase the
resource. We plan to expand our mineralisation exploration programme across
the Erongo region to identify potential assets for future expansion. Our goal
is to position Andrada as a platform for production growth in critical raw
materials within Namibia.

In addition to these operational advances, we have improved our operational
safety culture and strengthened relationships with our communities. In H2
2025, we look forward to achieving key milestones regarding the SQM deal,
petalite development and tin expansion. We also look forward to providing
further material updates on the various ongoing initiatives.

Financial performance overview
Increased revenue and expansion

§ 22% increase in revenue to £10.8 million (H1 2024: £8.9 million).

§ Gross profit increased by 70% to £2.6 million (H1 2024: £1.5 million) and
operating loss improved by 42% to £1.5 million (H1 2024: £2.5 million).

§ The net loss increased to £3.2 million (H1 2024: £2.8 million) primarily
due to finance expenses. A significant portion of these expenses are related
to the interest on the convertible note obligation that was settled in shares
at the election of the supportive shareholders.

§ Administrative costs amounted to £4.1 million (H1 2024: £4 million)
included one-off expenses related to the successful completion of the UTMC
restructuring, the SQM agreement and the completion of the Bank Windhoek
funding. While these strategic corporate actions are essential for growth, we
constantly review and strive to minimise the related costs

§ Although the period saw high capital expenditure, these projects will begin
to yield benefits in the coming financial year and place the Company on a
strong platform for future growth.

The cash costs were within management guidance.

§ The C1 costs included higher maintenance costs that are expected to
normalise toward the lower end of guidance in the new year.

§ The C2 costs were higher due to the introduction of the royalty expense at
the beginning of the 2025 calendar year.

§ AISC, which includes capitalised waste stripping, is expected to reduce
over time as we move into zones with lower stripping ratios and increase our
volumes in line with the completion of the CI2 Programme and the tin expansion
project. The steady production of tantalum will continue to credit operational
cash costs and, additional metals produced will substantially reduce cash
costs.

Strengthening the financial position

To support ongoing capital expansion programs related to tin and lithium
development, the Company announced on 7 August 2024 the conclusion of the
NAD175 million (c£7.5 million) financing package from Bank Windhoek through
the subsidiary UTMC. The proceeds were primarily allocated to the retirement
of existing facilities, growth initiatives, and working capital. This
investment will not only benefit UTMC but also contribute to the overall
economic development of the country.  Management believes that the
combination of the Bank Windhoek funding, income from tin and tantalum sales
as well as proceeds from the post-period agreement with SQM provides
sufficient liquidity to support all operational activities for the next 12
months. Furthermore, the Company is engaging with multiple strategic partners,
off-takers, development agencies and debt providers for funding required to
roll-out further capital projects that have been identified. The available
cash on 31 August 2024 was £6.1 million (US$7.2 million) excluding £2.1
million undrawn facilities.

associated with Uis Mine.

2 C2 operating cash costs are equivalent to the C1 costs plus selling expenses
including logistics, smelting and royalties.

3 All-in sustaining cost (AISC) incorporates all costs are related to
sustaining production, capital expenditure associated with developing and
maintaining the Uis operation as well as pre-stripping waste mining costs.

*Figures updated to reflect tantalum credits.

 

The ore processed increased by 8% YoY to 481 504 tonnes with the ore mined
blended to improve ore utilisation and to maintain the grade in line with the
reserve statement. The feed grade will continue to be maintained within the
range of 0.135% to 0.145% tin. The plant processing rate was slightly lower at
132 tonnes per hour ("tph"), compared to 136 tph in H1 2024, mainly due to the
enhanced maintenance implemented on the crushing circuit resulting in a slight
decrease in the production of tin concentrate. The production of tantalum
concentrate had a positive impact on the tin grade through the simultaneous
removal of impurities resulting in the relatively higher contained tin
volume.

Tin expansion

In March we launched the pre-concentrating project for the Uis mine to
increase the tin grade and output from the processing plant to 1 600 tpa
contained tin. The expansion entails improvements to the dry processing
section through the installation of a coarse crushing and XRT ore-sorting
pre-concentration circuit. We have received all the long-lead machinery for
the circuit, and we have completed the detailed engineering plant design.
Concurrent to the work on the pre-concentration project, we have extended our
tin expansion strategy to include toll treatment production of higher-grade
tin ore from emerging regional producers. The goal is to establish a tin
production hub at Uis to enhance our pipeline and to entrench Andrada as a
leading critical metals producer in Namibia.

The net effect of this multi-pronged approach will be an increase in tin metal
production, in a cost-effective manner in the shortest period to achieve
maximum benefit from the prevailing tin price. The pre-concentration project
will be implemented alongside a high-grade tolling programme to achieve an
optimal net increase in output. The initial phase of the tolling programme has
been the identification of high-grade tin mineralisation zones of up to 1.5%
from various mining operations within the Erongo region. The ongoing CI2
Programme complements the tin expansion by improving the efficiency of the
plant through the elimination of production bottlenecks. To date the CI2
Programme has resulted in an increase in the tin recovery rate to 72% (H1
2024: 65%).

Tantalum production
Key tantalum production metrics
 Description                 Unit    Q1 FY2025  Q2 FY2025
 Tantalum concentrate        tonnes  9          16
 Contained tantalum          kg      865        1 731
 Tantalum concentrate grade  %       10         11
 Tantalum recovery           %       3          6

Although still nominal, tantalum contributed 1% to the group revenue in the
interim results. We anticipate reaching the targeted quarterly volumes by the
end of the financial year. The incremental cost of producing tantalum
concentrate is low, resulting in more than 90% of the revenue being captured
in EBITDA.

Lithium development update
Lithium pilot plant

A one-off spot sale of five tonnes of petalite to a ceramic producer was
completed during the period under review marking a key milestone towards
realising our objective to be a critical metals producer. We believe the sale,
albeit small, was an endorsement of the commercial potential of petalite from
Uis. The exposure of the high-grade ore at Uis following the accelerated
push-back also increased the petalite bulk sample production which will be
used by potential off takers. Although we continue to explore opportunities to
sell concentrate produced, the pilot plant facility continues to be primarily
utilised for offtake bulk sampling campaigns. Importantly, these testing
campaigns coupled with the completion of the technical study will contribute
to the integration of the lithium circuit to the existing processing plant at
Uis.

Safety performance

At Andrada, we are committed to maintaining the highest safety standards
across our operations. The implementation of Take5, Visible Felt Leadership
and Elimination of Fatalities initiatives, coupled with the commitment from
our operational teams, has driven significant improvements in safety outcomes.
The LTIFR increased from 1.42⁴ in H1 2024 to 1.74 in the period under review
while the TRIFR increased from 7.84 in H1 2024 to 9.24⁵ in H1 2025.
Importantly, no fatalities were recorded during this period. The various
measures, including quarterly safety audits and comprehensive training
sessions, have been instrumental in strengthening our safety culture and
enhancing overall workplace safety.

⁴Restated LTI number for H1 2024: In August 2024, we conducted a
comprehensive review of our injury classification process and specific
incident classifications. We have updated our Lost Time Injury (LTI) numbers
with the previously reported figure of three (3) LTIs being revised to four
(4) LTIs. ⁵Restated TRIFR number for H1 2024: As part of our safety KPI
metric review, we have aligned our TRIFR calculation with ICMM reporting
standards. This change excludes restricted workdays and first-aid injuries.
Historic TRIFR data has been revised accordingly, resulting in a notable
improvement in our TRIFR from FY2023 to FY2024.

POST-PERIOD
SQM partnership on spodumene - rich Lithium Ridge

On 9 September 2024, we signed a three-stage earn-in agreement with SQM. We
were incredibly pleased to announce this partnership with a global leader in
the lithium industry, representing the first African lithium partnership that
SQM has entered into. This partnership further solidifies our belief in the
Lithium Ridge asset as a potential world-class resource, and further
establishes Andrada as a multi-asset, critical metals explorer and miner. We
believe this partnership highlights the potential value of our entire asset
portfolio. Furthermore, partnering with SQM provides the ideal partner to
unlock the full potential of Lithium Ridge, while allowing continuation of the
development of Uis through our existing financing relationships.

The SQM partnership aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives, enabling
us to develop Uis's neighbouring lithium asset, through accelerated the
exploration initiatives. The Agreement establish a long-term, value-creating
relationship that incentivises operational milestones and delivers sustained
returns for our shareholders. The introduction of a global lithium player will
also place Namibia at the forefront of the African lithium development
trajectory and unlock value for the mining industry.

The SQM agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent, including the
Namibian Competition Commission approval. I am pleased to confirm that we have
transferred the Environmental Compliance Certificate into the joint venture
vehicle as one of the two outstanding conditions precedent and await the
Namibian Competition Commission response to our application. Full details of
the joint venture arrangement and the associated earn-in process are detailed
in the Company's announcement of 9 September 2024. We are keen to start the
project as soon as the outstanding approval is received from the Namibian
Competition Commission. The Company will make further updates on progress.

Brandberg West maiden drilling results

The impressive drill results from our first drilling programme indicated
significant high grades across multiple drill holes, showing up to 10% tin,
3.5% tungsten and 2% copper (See announcement dated 12 September and 16
October 2024). The exploration programme comprised 20 oriented diamond drill
("DD") holes for a total of 2 975 metres drilled.

The drill programme was successful as high-grade intersections were found
within all the drill holes, covering the historical open pit area and virgin
extensions to the north of the pit. The success of this exploration programme
reinforces the Company's belief that the Erongo region of Namibia is
well-endowed with critical metals and has the potential to yield substantial
inventory. Furthermore, the results validate our approach of investigating
areas with historical mining activity to bolster our portfolio.

Publication of the 2024 Sustainability Report

On 20 November 2024, we released the 2024 Sustainability Report outlining
Andrada's sustainability framework and its focus on creating thriving,
resilient communities, while ensuring responsible operations through
best-practice environmental stewardship and robust governance. We are
particularly proud of the significant progress we have made in progressing our
ESG commitments this year, including a doubling of procurement expenditure
within Namibia to £21 million, and maintaining a 99% Namibian workforce.

Additionally, a total of £3.5 million was spent towards salaries, royalties
and social projects during the year under review within Namibia. This
underlines the dedication to creating value for our host nation and delivering
on the promise for an equitable partnership that drives economic growth in
Namibia. The Company maintains the highest standards of ethics and
transparency, aligning with international frameworks including IFC Performance
Standards, ICMM Principles, GRI and GISTM. This commitment to good governance
underpins Andrada's engagement with all stakeholders, from employees and local
communities to governments and investors. As we continue to expand our
operations, the commitment to responsible mining practices remains unwavering.
We look forward to building on these achievements in the year ahead, and to
ensuring that Andrada is well qualified to promote the energy transition
through its portfolio of critical raw materials.

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 2024 is
unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial information. The
statutory accounts for the year ended 29 February 2024 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 produced,
considering the global logistical challenges around sales, to ensure that
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, the lender, where there is any risk.
The Group met the covenant requirements for the 31 August 2024 measurement
period and, based on the latest forecasts, the Group will be able to meet its
covenant obligations for the testing period to February 2025. For the purpose
of assessing going concern, the Directors have prepared forecasts to November
2026.

The main estimates considered as part of the Directors' going concern
assessment are production profiles, tin, lithium and tantalum prices, exchange
rates and committed capital. The production profile is based on the Group's
current achieved production post the completion of the expansion project, as
well as the additional production on the successful completion of the
continuous improvement capital project and ore sorter projects. In addition,
the Group successfully raised £7.1m through the funding of Bank Windhoek,
secured a partnership with SQM for the Lithium Ridge project, and maintains
the possibility of future funding through a strategic partner. This further
supports the liquidity requirements of the Group and its ability to meet its
obligations in the ordinary course of business. The Group also retains the
ability to flex its ongoing exploration and metallurgical capital expenditures
in line with cash availability as well as macro-economic circumstances.

Based on the forecasts, additional funding will be required within the next 12
months for the purpose of envisaged capital and exploration projects without a
strategic partner. As the Group is also entering a new market with reference
to lithium sales, which are close to near-term production, the cash flow
forecast has assumed the successful completion of the lithium pilot plant in
order to deliver the business strategy. Further funding would be required for
additional exploration and capital projects as well as studies related to the
feasibility of the future growth phases. The Group believes it has several
options available to it, including but not limited to use of the overdraft
facility, restructuring of the debt, additional debt or equity, cost reduction
strategies as well as potential off-take arrangements. The Directors are
already at an advanced stage of securing additional funding for the next 12
months. However, this is yet to be finalised as at the date of approval of the
financial statements. Thus, the Group is reliant on additional funding, which
is not guaranteed. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty
which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

As a result of their review, and despite the aforementioned material
uncertainty, the Directors have confidence in the Group's forecasts and that
additional funding will be forthcoming. Accordingly, the Directors continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial
statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would
result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

c.   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
has the ability to 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.

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 recognised in equity of the parent in transactions where the
non-controlling interests are acquired or sold without loss of control. The
Group has elected to recognise this effect in retained earnings.

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.
Subsequent to 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.

d.   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.

i.  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).

ii. Decommissioning and rehabilitation obligations

Estimating the future costs of environmental and rehabilitation obligations is
complex and requires management to make estimates and judgements, as most of
the obligations will be fulfilled in the future and contracts and laws are
often not clear regarding what is required. The resulting provisions (see Note
18) are further influenced by changing technologies 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 establishing 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. 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.

In determining the amount attributable to the rehabilitation liability,
management used a risk-free discount rate of 12.31% (August 2023: 13% and
February 2024: 12.31%), an inflation rate of 4.8% (August 2023: 5.3% and
February 2024: 4.8%) and an estimated mining period of 12.1 years (August
2023: 12.9 years and February 2024: 12.6 years), being the Phase 1 expansion
life of mine. The rates used are in line with the Namibian market rates. The
decrease in the mining period is as a result of the increased mining volumes
post the Phase 1 Expansion. The carrying amount of the rehabilitation
obligations for the Group at 31 August 2024 was £1 270 629 (August 2023:
£912 550 and February 2024: £1 152 121).

iii.         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 value in use of the asset.
The valuation of intangible exploration assets is dependent upon the discovery
of economically recoverable deposits which, in turn, is dependent on future
tin prices, future 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 2024
based on planned future development of the Namibian projects and current and
forecast tin prices. Exploration and evaluation assets are disclosed fully in
Note 10.

iv.         Impairment assessment for property, plant and equipment

Management has reviewed the Uis Tin Mine for indicators of impairment and has
considered, among other factors, the operations to date at the Uis Tin Mine,
forecast commodity prices, production profile, inflation rate, post-tax real
discount rate and market capitalisation of the Group. Management identified
the reduction in the tin price as an indicator of impairment. In undertaking
the impairment review, management has also reviewed the underlying life of
mine ("LoM") valuation model for Uis. The LoM valuation model is on a fair
value less cost to develop basis and includes assessments of different
scenarios associated with capital improvements and expansion opportunities.
The impairment testing performed by management did not result in an
impairment.

The forecasts require estimates regarding forecast tin, tantalum and lithium
prices, ore resources, production, operating and capital costs. Under the base
case forecast scenario, management used a forecast tin price of $26 000,
tantalum price of $150 000, lithium price of $2 960 dropping to $1 051 in FY
2027, a post-tax real discount rate of 8.7%, an inflation rate of 5.5%, and a
life of mine of 30 years. The forecast indicates sufficient headroom as at 31
August 2024.

The complex judgement in determining the recoverable amount of mining assets
requires an estimation of the future tin price. 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. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was performed by
lowering the forecast tin prices by 5%, which also indicated sufficient
headroom as at 31 August 2024.

As an additional test, management performed certain sensitivity calculations.
These included raising the discount rate to 9.7% post-tax real rate, lowering
plant recovery by 5% and increasing operating costs by 5%. In each of these
circumstances, the forecast indicated sufficient headroom as at 31 August
2024.

v. 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. The assumptions are reviewed at least annually by
management, and the judgement is based on consideration of the LoM plan as
well as the nature of the assets. The reserve assumptions included in the LoM
plan are evaluated by management.

vi.         Capitalisation and depreciation of waste stripping

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 are capitalised until such time that the underlying
ore is used in production. These costs are then expensed on a proportional
basis. The capitalised costs are included in the mining asset in property,
plant and equipment and are expensed back into the statement of comprehensive
income as depreciation. 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.

vii.        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.

viii.       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 forecast tin prices to determine the net
realisable value of the run of mine ("ROM") stockpile and the tin concentrate
inventory on hand at period end. Inventory stockpiles are measured using
actual mining and processing costs.

ix.         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
by the Group as of 31 August 2024. The risk-free rate was based on the United
States Constant Maturity Treasury rates commensurate with the terms as of the
valuation date, as reported on the Federal Reserve website. The Group used a
credit spread of 10.58% computed by backsolving the convertible notes to par
and further adjusted down 3.5% to account for the lower risk factor as a
result of the ongoing operations at Uis Tin Mining Company. The operating
subsidiary attracts a lower risk factor due to it being closely aligned to the
underlying tin mining operation and its performance since commissioned,
relative to the holding company, which is implicitly subordinated. The royalty
obligation is measured at fair value through profit and loss.

x. Fair value estimation on the consideration paid during the acquisition of
mining rights

As part of the accounting for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest
in UTMC, part of the consideration was settled using the ML 129 licence. 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. When the fair
value 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. As a result, management estimated the fair value to
be equivalent to the exploration costs, which served as the base amount for
the transaction.

Accumulated losses in the subsidiary undertakings for which there is an
unrecognised deferred tax asset are £16 421 555 (August 2023: £9 379 913

9.    Loss per share from continuing operations

The calculation of a basic loss per share of 0.21 pence (August 2023: loss per
share of 0.18 pence and February 2024: loss per share of 0.56 pence) is
calculated using the total loss for the period attributable to the owners of
the Company of £3 215 983 (August 2023: loss of £2 755 819 and February
2024: loss of £8 438 465) and the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the period of 1 591 793 522 (August 2023: 1 538 528 155 and February
2024: 1 551 422 631). 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 2024 is 165 830 346 (August 2023: 76 309 563 and
February 2024: 165 625 801). These potentially dilutive ordinary shares may
have a dilutive effect on future earnings per share.

During 2022, a vehicle asset financing facility to the value of N$15 000 000
(c. £640 500) was provided by Standard Bank Namibia. Interest accrues on this
facility at the Namibian prime rate less 1%.

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$50m
(c. £2 135 000) in September 2023 and the 2nd drawdown of the same amount in
March 2024, totalling an amount of N$100m (c. £4 270 000). These Funds are
being used to expedite the implementation of the Uis Mine Stage II Continuous
Improvement Programme.

On 22 November 2023, a US$25 000 000 (c. £19 005 000) funding packing was
concluded with Orion Resource Partners. This includes US$2 500 000 (c. £1 900
500) equity, a US$10 000 000 (c. £7 600 000) convertible loan note and a
US$12.5m (c. £9 500 000) unsecured tin royalty. The equity and loan note will
be 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 as it
ramps up its capital programmes over the next 2 years.

On 6 August 2024, Uis Tin Mining Company agreed a N$100 000 000 (c.
£4 270 000) term loan with Bank Windhoek. The loan will have a term of 6
years and will incur interest at the Namibian prime rate plus 1%. Bank
Windhoek will provide short-term loan facilities of up to N$15 000 000
(c. £630 000) for use as cash flow against future VAT payments. It is
intended that the short-term loan will be provided for 12 months and will
incur 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 will provide Andrada Mining
(Namibia) with a N$10 000 000 (c. £427 000) 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.

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 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. £9 502 625) 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. £9 548 238). In determining the fair value, management
used a credit spread rate of 10.58% and a risk-free rate of 5.54%. As at 31
August 2024, the fair value of the royalty debt was US$13 651 000.

The transaction also included the issue of one hundred (100) unsecured
convertible loan notes of $100 000 each. The loan notes are redeemable in 4
years from the issue date. Written consent from the note holders is required
in the event that 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. As at 31 August 2024, the derivative liability was measured
to £1 411 709. In determining the fair value of the derivative, management
used a credit spread of 16.12%.

Provision 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 for new circumstances. The
environmental rehabilitation liability is based on disturbances and the
required rehabilitation as at 31 August 2024.

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 Sample
Processing Facility and the demolishing of civil platforms and reshaping of
earthworks. A provision for this requires estimates and assumptions to be made
around the relevant regulatory framework, the magnitude of the possible
disturbance and the timing, 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
specific to the liability. In determining the amount attributable to the
rehabilitation liability, management used a discount rate of 12.31%, an
inflation rate of 4.8% and an estimated mining period of 12.1 years. Actual
rehabilitation and decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future
market prices for the necessary rehabilitation works and the timing of when
the mine ceases operation.

19.  Lease liability

The Group assessed all rental agreements and concluded that the following
rentals fall within the scope of IFRS 16 "Leases" and, therefore, a lease

20.  DEFERRED CONSIDERATION

On 2 August 2024, the Group acquired an additional 15% interest in the voting
shares of its subsidiary, Uis Tin Mining Company, from the Small Miners of Uis
("SMU") and Sinco Investments Five (Pty) Ltd ("Sinco"). This increased the
Group's ownership interest from 85% to 100%. The carrying value of the net
assets of UTMC on the date of the transaction was £3.86m.

The consideration for the acquisition is made up as follows:

·      The issue of Ordinary Shares in Andrada Mining Ltd

-       13 651 560 Ordinary Shares issued to SMU

-       31 148 782 Ordinary Shares issued to Sinco

·      240 monthly cash payments of N$75 000 to be paid by Andrada
Namibia to SMU, resulting in a present value of the deferred consideration of
£415 640

·      Transfer of Andrada Namibia's 85% interest in ML 129 to SMU

24.  Events after balance sheet date

Partnership with SQM to develop Namibia lithium asset

On 9 September 2024, the Group entered into a three-stage earn-in agreement to
partner with Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile SA, through its subsidiary
SQM Australia (Pty) Ltd ("SQM"), in developing the Lithium Ridge asset (ML
133). A new wholly owned subsidiary of Uis Tin Mining Company ("UTMC"), Grace
Simba Investments (Pty) Ltd ("GSI"), now holds the Lithium Ridge mining
licence. The agreement brings both the financial and technical capabilities
required to explore and develop Lithium Ridge. SQM can also earn into GSI by
solely funding both the exploration and, in the future, a Definitive
Feasibility Study ("DFS") at Lithium Ridge.

The key considerations and milestones in the agreement are:

·      SQM agrees to pay Andrada a US$500 000 participation fee on
signing and a further US$1.5m upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent
(as detailed below)

·      SQM has an option to invest US$20m over three-and-a-half years,
in different stages, to earn a 40% ownership of GSI

·      Subsequent funding of the DFS will enable SQM to attain up to 50%
ownership in GSI

A one-off success fee will be payable by SQM should the Group complete a JORC
(2012) compliant Mineral Resources Estimation exceeding 40 million tonnes
during the third earn-in period. The fee will be calculated based on the
percentage of lithium oxide content in the resource. The Group and SQM will
create a joint development committee ("JDC") to oversee the development of
GSI. The JDC will be constituted with an equal representation of members from
SQM and Andrada management. The Group will manage and operate the project
during the earn-in period.

The agreement is subject to approval by the Namibian Competition Commission.
