("East Star" or the "Company")

 

Delay to Publication of Final Results

 

East Star Resources Plc (LSE: EST), the Kazakhstan-focused gold and copper
explorer, provides the following update regarding the publication of its
annual report and financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2025
("FY25"). In accordance with the FCA's UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company is required to publish its
audited accounts for FY25 by 30 April 2026. Whilst the audit is nearly
complete, the publication of the annual report has been delayed by
approximately one week primarily due to a randomly applied audit by the
Kazakhstan Tax Department on one of the Company's in-country subsidiaries.
This arose during a critical period of the audit process and impacted the
timeline for completing the consolidated financial statements. In prioritising
the Kazakh compliance requirements, the Company ensured that in-country
operations continued unhindered.

The Board confirms that the delay is procedural in nature and does not reflect
any issues concerning the financial position or results of the Group. The
Board anticipates that the annual report and financial statements will be
finalised next week, and a further announcement will be made upon publication.

As a result of the delay in publishing the FY25 audited accounts, the
Company's shares will be suspended for a short period with effect from 7.30
a.m. today, pending publication of the FY25 audited accounts next week.
