Greatland Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented:
"It has been a transformative period for Greatland, having completed the
consolidation of 100% ownership of Havieron and Telfer, establishing us as a
gold-copper producer of significance. We are delighted with the strong start
to production in December and the combination of a high Australian dollar gold
price, very substantial mined stockpiles at surface, Telfer mine life
extension targets, and the approaching development of the world class Havieron
gold-copper asset presents a unique opportunity for near-term cashflow and
medium-term growth. We continue to advance the Havieron Feasibility Study,
expected to be completed in the second half of 2025, with development now
substantially derisked by our ownership of the Telfer infrastructure.
"Greatland today is the owner and operator of a processing plant that ranks as
Australia's third largest gold-copper processing plant by capacity, with a
generational opportunity presented by Havieron and a highly prospective
exploration portfolio. Our robust cash position and banking facilities ensures
sufficient liquidity is in place.
"Preparations for our ASX cross listing are well underway and we continue to
target listing in the June 2025 quarter. As a significant Australian
gold-copper producer, the ASX listing is intended to provide benefits
including an enhanced capital markets profile and increased institutional
ownership and index participation."

CORPORATE
Havieron-Telfer Acquisition
Greatland announced on 10 September 2024 that it had entered into a binding
agreement with certain Newmont Corporation subsidiaries (Newmont) to acquire
Newmont's 70% ownership interest in the Havieron gold-copper project
(Havieron), 100% ownership of the Telfer gold-copper mine, and other related
interests in assets in the Paterson region.
Greatland completed the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition from Newmont on 4 December
2024 (Completion).
In connection with the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition, a fully underwritten
institutional placing to raise US$325 million (c. £248.6 million)
(Institutional Placing) and retail offer to raise US$8.8 million (c. £6.7
million) (Retail Offer), including commitments of £0.3 million by certain
Directors, was completed both gross before associated fees. The Institutional
Placing was oversubscribed and successfully closed on 11 September 2024, and
the Retail Offer was oversubscribed and successfully closed on 12 September
2024. On 30 September 2024, a general meeting of shareholders approved the
Havieron-Telfer Acquisition and the issue of shares under the Institutional
Placing, the Retail Offer, and to a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation pursuant
to the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition.
On 1 October 2024, the new Greatland ordinary shares were issued under the
Institutional Placing and Retail Offer and admitted to trading, comprising
5,179,010,416 Institutional Placing shares and 140,725,613 Retail Offer
shares.
On Completion, trading in Greatland's ordinary shares on AIM was
simultaneously cancelled and readmitted (Admission). Following Admission,
Greatland's issued share capital comprises 13,079,294,602 ordinary shares each
with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury.
At Completion Greatland paid the upfront cash consideration of US$167.0
million (£130.2 million) (comprising of US$155.1 million cash consideration
and estimated purchase price adjustments) and US$167.5 million consideration
in the form of 2,669,182,291 Greatland ordinary shares issued to Newmont based
on the issue price of the Institutional Placing (announced simultaneously with
the binding Sale and Purchase Agreement), representing 20.4% of Greatland
shares on issue. The fair value of the shares issued at Completion was £200.2
million based on the share price on 4 December 2024.
Pursuant to the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition agreement, the amount of the
purchase price adjustments has been estimated for the purposes of the
adjustments paid on Completion. A final adjustment will be calculated and
made following the preparation and agreement of a final post-completion
statement, with the final adjustment expected to be agreed by June 2025.
At Completion Greatland repaid debt of US$52.4 million (£41.4 million), being
the entire outstanding balance of the Havieron joint venture loan to Newmont,
which has been terminated.
Greatland expects to pay the following amounts to Newmont on a deferred basis:
§ A$32.6 million (£16.6 million) in aggregate estimated purchase price
adjustments for:
(i) ore mined and stockpiled between 1 October 2024 and Completion and
acquired by Greatland at Completion, due by 3 June 2025;
(ii) to compensate Newmont for running only one of the two Telfer processing
trains from 27 October 2024 until Completion (thus preserving ore and
stockpiles for Greatland to process after Completion), due by 3 June 2025;
(iii) final purchase price adjustments per the Sale and Purchase Agreement;
and
§ Up to a maximum of US$100 million (£79.0 million) in deferred cash
consideration which may be payable to Newmont on the first five years'
Havieron gold production, through a 50% price upside participation by Newmont
above a US$1,850/oz hurdle gold price, subject to an annual cap of US$50
million and aggregate cap of US$100 million. The fair value of the deferred
consideration has been estimated at US$64.2 million (£50.7 million).
Debt facilities
On 10 September 2024 Greatland Pty Ltd executed:
§ A commitment letter with ANZ, HSBC and ING (together, the Banking
Syndicate) in respect of a A$75 million (£38 million) working capital
facility (Working Capital Facility) and a A$25 million (£13 million)
contingent instrument facility (Contingent Instrument Facility); and
§ A non-binding letter of support with the Banking Syndicate, in respect of
A$775 million (£395 million) in proposed banking facilities, including A$750
million (£383 million) in facilities that would be available to fund capital
to complete the planned development of the Havieron project.
On 3 December 2024 Greatland executed the facility agreement with the Banks in
respect of the Working Capital Facility and Contingent Instrument Facility. At
31 December 2024, the Working Capital Facility remained undrawn and A$9
million (£5 million) remained available under the Contingent Instrument
Facility.
During the December 2024 quarter Greatland purchased AUD denominated gold put
options for a premium of A$9.9m (£4.9 million) from the Banking Syndicate in
respect of 150,000oz of gold, with an average strike price of A$3,905 per
ounce and a series of expiry dates through calendar year 2025 (CY25), as
follows:
Quarter End Date Gold Volumes Under Options (oz) Average blended strike price (A$ per oz)
31-Mar-2025 33,996 3,905
30-Jun-2025 46,302 3,905
30-Sep-2025 38,910 3,905
31-Dec-2025 30,792 3,905
Total 150,000 3,905
The put options establish a price level at which Greatland has the right, but
not the obligation, to sell gold, therefore providing a minimum downside price
protection for the protected ounces while retaining full upside exposure to
the gold price across 100% of Telfer production volumes.
In September 2023 Greatland entered into a A$50 million (£26.0 million)
working capital facility with cornerstone shareholder, Wyloo Consolidated
Investments Pty Ltd. During the period A$7 million (£3.6 million) was drawn
down under the facility, and then subsequently repaid from the proceeds of the
equity raising described above and the facility terminated.
Dividends
The Board of directors has not declared a dividend for the period (31 December
2023: Nil).
OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Telfer, Western Australia (Greatland: 100%)
Telfer is an operating gold-copper mine located in the Paterson Province of
the East Pilbara region in Western Australia. Telfer first produced gold in
1977 and has produced more than 15Moz of gold to date.
Telfer is a fly-in fly-out mine with both open pit and underground mining
operations, an established workforce and significant infrastructure. Gold and
copper are produced by a large processing facility comprising two 10Mtpa
capacity trains, totalling 20Mtpa in nominal capacity, that produces gold
doré and a copper-gold concentrate.
Ore from Telfer is currently being mined from the West Dome open pit and the
Telfer underground. Greatland is in the process of preparing an updated Telfer
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates.
Telfer's strategic positioning in the Paterson region, with existing
infrastructure and processing capacity, de-risks, expedites and reduces the
cost of completing Havieron's development. As the only operating processing
infrastructure in the Paterson region with surplus capacity, Telfer enables a
'hub and spoke' strategy to incorporate accretive regional opportunities.
Greatland acquired 100% ownership of Telfer from Newmont on 4 December 2024,
on Completion of the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition.
During the period of Greatland's ownership from 4 December 2024 to 31 December
2024 (approximately 27 days):
§ 29,864oz of gold and 1,189t of copper (33,882oz gold equivalent(1)) was
produced at Telfer;
§ 1,466kt of ore was processed at Telfer, utilising both processing trains,
with an average grade of 0.77g/t Au and 0.11% copper, and recoveries of 82%
for gold and 72% for copper;
§ 639kt of ore was mined at the Telfer West Dome open pit (total material
movement mined of 1,177t) and 95kt of ore was mined at the Telfer underground.
(1) The gold equivalent (AuEq) for Telfer December 2024 production is
calculated based on average daily commodity spot prices for the period between
4 December 2024 (Acquisition completion date) and 31 December 2024 of
A$4,179/oz Au and A$14,122/t Cu. The gold equivalent formula is AuEq oz = Au
oz produced + (Cu t produced * Copper Price / Gold Price). AuEq oz is stated
before payability reductions for treatment and refining charges.
At 31 December 2024, estimated stockpiles at Telfer were:
§ 10.9Mt run-of-mine (ROM) stockpiles, containing 247koz gold and 7.6kt
copper; and
§ 24.5Mt low grade stockpiles, containing 262koz gold and 12.2kt copper.
Significant evaluations commenced during December 2024 to progress Telfer mine
life extension opportunities. This has confirmed near term extension
opportunities at the West Dome Open Pit in both Stage 7 and Stage 8 extension.
These cutbacks have been prioritised for final evaluation works to enable a
final investment decision in FY25. In addition, a comprehensive review of all
near-mine drilling priorities was initiated in December 2024. This review has
identified multiple drilling targets that will be evaluated as part of the
drilling budget process.
Havieron, Western Australia (Greatland: 100%)
Havieron is a world-class high grade underground gold-copper development
project located approximately 45km to the east of Telfer in the Paterson
province of Western Australia.
The Havieron deposit was discovered by Greatland in 2018. It is one of the
largest high-grade gold discoveries in Australia of the last 20 years and is
the second largest undeveloped gold project by Mineral Resource in Australia.
Following discovery, Havieron was advanced under an unincorporated joint
venture between Greatland and Newcrest (2019 - 2023), and then Newmont (2023 -
2024). Greatland consolidated 100% ownership of Havieron in December 2024.
Havieron has a Mineral Resource Estimate of 8.4Moz in total contained gold
equivalent ounces (AuEq(2)), completed by Greatland in December 2023. The
Havieron Mineral Resource estimate is contained within a compact 650 metre
strike length and is currently defined over 1,200 vertical metres. The
Havieron ore body has an exceptional ounce per vertical metre profile, with
the Mineral Resource estimate averaging more than 9,150 gold equivalent ounces
per vertical metre through the top 300 metres of the ore body, and more than
7,900 gold equivalent ounces through the top 1,000 metres.
Early works commenced in January 2021 and are advanced, including 2,110 metres
of development of the underground main access decline, through 80% of the
total depth to the top of the Havieron ore body. Underground development is
currently paused prior to completion of Greatland's Feasibility Study.
In September 2024, Greatland published an independently reviewed 'base case'
development and mine plan for Havieron, with a 2.8Mtpa mining operation to
produce an average 258koz gold equivalent per annum in steady state (first 15
years) at lowest quartile costs, utilising the Telfer processing
infrastructure, with a 20-year total mine life commencing in 2027. The
development of Havieron is substantially de-risked by the existing and
significant Telfer infrastructure.
Greatland is currently completing a Feasibility Study for the completion of
Havieron's development, targeted to be completed in 2025, which will refine
the base case and assess optimisation opportunities including potential
expansion.
(2) The gold equivalent (AuEq) is based on assumed prices of US$1,700/oz Au
and US$3.75/lb Cu for Mineral Resource and metallurgical recoveries based on
block metal grade, reporting approximately at 87% for Au and 87% for Cu which
in both cases equates to a formula of approximately AuEq = Au (g/t) + 1.6 Cu
(%). It is the company's opinion that all the elements included in the metal
equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
On 10 September 2024, in connection with the Havieron-Telfer acquisition,
Greatland published an independently reviewed 'base case' development and mine
plan for Havieron, which is for:
§ Havieron to operate with a steady state mining throughput rate of 2.8Mtpa
and average grade processed of 2.74g/t Au and 0.32% Cu;
§ Havieron ore to be processed through the Telfer processing facility, with
utilisation of a single processing train through Telfer's Train 1 circuit at
750t/h, on a campaign basis at approximately 50% utilisation;
§ Havieron to produce on average 221koz Au and 8kt Cu (258koz AuEq) annually
during steady state operations, first 15 years, at an AISC of US$818/oz
(A$1,240/oz);
§ a steady state operational period of 15 years and total mine life of 20
years; and
§ first ore production from Havieron in H2 2026 and first gold in H2 2027.
The Greatland Feasibility Study for the completion of Havieron's development
is underway and targeted to be completed in H2 2025. The Feasibility Study
will seek to refine the base case described above, incorporate optimisation
opportunities to the extent these are identified and validated, and will
include an executable project schedule and capital expense estimate.
During the December 2024 quarter Greatland's Feasibility Study works
progressed, including the following key activities:
§ Finalised scoping of the Feasibility Study, validated key technical
decisions, confirmed Feasibility Study inputs;
§ Shortlisted engineering and technical consultants and tendered Feasibility
Study packages; and
§ Scoped early works package for ventilation shaft development (critical
path), with technical and commercial clarifications largely resolved.
Greatland is working to de-risk this package and secure availability of key
construction equipment.
Paterson South Farm-In and Joint Venture Arrangement, Western Australia
(Greatland earning up to 75%)
In May 2023, Greatland entered into the Paterson South farm-in and joint
venture agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd (RTX), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of global mining group Rio Tinto, to accelerate exploration at nine
exploration licences (Paterson South Tenements) which collectively cover
1,537km(2) of highly prospective tenure within the Paterson region of Western
Australia, near Havieron.
Greatland has the right to earn up to a 75% interest in the Paterson South
Tenements by spending at least A$21.1 million and completing 24,500 metres of
drilling as part of a two-stage farm-in over seven years. Greatland achieved
the stage one minimum commitment under the farm-in arrangement by completing
2,000 metres of drilling and A$1.1 million of expenditure in FY24.
During the period, reverse circulation (RC) drilling (4 holes for 990 metres)
was completed at the Chilly prospect at Strickland (E45/4807), and diamond
drilling at Triangle South (E45/5532) at the Teague prospect (4 holes for
~1200m) and Skylar (E45/5351) (6 holes for ~2,500m) at the Bootstrap Leon and
Skylar prospects.
RC drilling results from the Chilly prospect were reported on 7 November 2024
(refer to Greatland's RNS announcement titled "Paterson Exploration Update")
and included 37m at 0.13% Cu and 0.21g/t Au including 1m at 6.1g/t Au in
first pass reconnaissance drilling. The mineralisation is considered open
along strike and down dip and follow up drilling is planned for CY25.
Encouraging alteration and sulphides were intercepted in diamond drill holes
at Teague and Skylar. Results for the drilling will be reported in CY25 once
all assays have been received.
A gravity survey was undertaken at the Atlantis prospect on the Budjidowns
(E45/4815) tenement in FY2024. Modelling of the Atlantis gravity during the
period has identified four targets with drilling planned in CY25.
During FY24 a surface sampling program was undertaken on the Wilki Lakes
(E45/5576) tenement. Assays returned in HY25 showed no significant results.
Soil sampling was completed at the Calypso prospect on Basel (E45/5122) and
returned elevated pathfinder alteration minerals. Follow up air core (AC)
drilling is planned for CY25.
Exploration, Western Australia (Greatland: 100%)
Telfer near mine exploration
The Havieron-Telfer Acquisition included the acquisition of 782km(2) of highly
prospective tenure along strike from Telfer, including 14 exploration licenses
and 44 Mining leases outside the Telfer operations area.
During the period a review of existing work was commenced identifying several
targets with high prospectivity. The planned exploration program for CY25
includes a significant drilling program of ~12,000m, geophysics including
Induced Polarisation (IP) and magnetic surveys and surface sampling programs
across several targets.
Paterson Regional Project
Greatland's wider Paterson region exploration projects comprise of the
Scallywag, Juri and Canning projects:
§ Scallywag comprises four wholly-owned granted exploration licences:
Scallywag, Rudall, Black Hills North and Havieron West located adjacent to and
around Havieron. Exploration work is focused on the discovery of intrusion
related gold-copper deposits similar to Havieron, Telfer and Winu.
§ Juri comprises two wholly-owned granted exploration licences: Paterson
Range East and Black Hills located to the north of Havieron. Juri was
previously a joint venture with Newcrest (2019 - 2023) and then Newmont (2023
- 2024), with Greatland consolidating 100% ownership in December 2024.
§ The Canning project comprises two wholly-owned granted exploration
licences: Canning and Salvation Well and was voluntarily relinquished on 7
January 2025, following modelling showing depth to basement at >500m and
negative results from a magnetotelluric survey.
During the period, Greatland completed diamond core drilling on the Scallywag
exploration licence at London with two diamond holes for ~1,800m testing a
Magneto-telluric electromagnetic conductor. The anomaly was resolved as a
greater conductive cover depth and no significant mineralisation was
encountered.
The Scallywag and Juri projects will now be combined into the greater
Scallywag project.
Ernest Giles
The Ernest Giles project consists of five granted wholly-owned adjoining
exploration licences: Calanchini, Peterswald, Westwood North, Westwood West
and Mount Smith, which are located approximately 250km north-east of the town
of Laverton in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. Ernest Giles is an
underexplored Archean greenstone belt which lies within the highly mineralised
Yilgarn Craton, to the north of the world-class Tropicana and Gruyere gold
mines.
Greatland's planned exploration program at Ernest Giles for FY25 includes a
regional geophysics program across the project tenure, as well as a targeted
IP survey and 6,000m of drilling at the Meadows prospect.
Panorama
The Panorama project consists of three granted wholly-owned adjoining
exploration licences: Panorama, Panorama North and Panorama East, located in
the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The tenements are considered by
Greatland to be highly prospective for gold and nickel.
In November 2023 Greatland announced the results of a surface sampling program
at Panorama, with results including 27 soil samples from the Ni_04 prospect
returning above 0.1% nickel over a 1.4km strike extent, and a peak result of
0.3% nickel in a rock chip sample.
These samples sit within the Dalton Suite ultramafics, which the results
confirmed as nickel enriched and a potential primary nickel sulphide host. The
large extent of the prospective Dalton Suite ultramafics within the Panorama
tenure, and the existence of several untested highly prospective conductors,
presents the potential for a substantial nickel discovery at Panorama.
Greatland is planning its next steps to effectively test both the geochemical
and geophysical anomalies on the tenure.
Bromus
The Bromus project consists of two granted wholly-owned adjoining exploration
licences: Bromus and Bromus West which are considered prospective for nickel,
lithium and gold, located approximately 20km southwest of the town of Norseman
in southern Western Australia.
The Bromus project was not actively explored during the period. In February
2025, the Group sold its Bromus Exploration Licence E63/1952 to a subsidiary
of Ordell Minerals Limited (ASX:ORD) Ricochet Romance Pty Ltd (Ricochet
Romance) in exchange for the allotment and issue of 125,000 fully paid
ordinary shares in Ordell Minerals Limited. Additionally, as part of the
tenement sale the Group surrendered Exploration Licence E63/1506 to Ricochet
Romance the same subsidiary of Ordell Minerals Limited for cash consideration
of £0.1 million.
Mt Egerton
The Mt Egerton project consists of four granted wholly-owned exploration
licences, Woodlands Munjang, Mt Egerton and Egerton West, located
approximately 230km north of the town of Meekatharra gold camp in central
Western Australia. The Mt Egerton project is considered prospective for gold
and copper.
During the period, the Mt Egerton project grew with the grant of a further
four tenements, Munjang (E52/4361), Mt Egerton (E52/4362), Egerton West
(E52/4389) and Combine Bore (E52/4432) for a total land holding of 482.5km(2).
The land access agreement was also progressed during the period.
Senior management changes
During December 2024, Dean Horton resigned as Chief Financial Officer to
pursue other opportunities. Greatland thanks Mr Horton for his contribution,
including towards the successful debt finance process in connection with the
acquisition, and wishes him the best in his future endeavours. Monique
Connolly has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer, a role she has
previously held and excelled in.
With effect from 4 March 2025, Joanne McDonald has been appointed Joint
Company Secretary. Ms McDonald has over 18 years of experience in senior
management and executive roles within the mining industry. Prior to joining
the Company, Joanne was Company Secretary and Head of Corporate Affairs of IGO
Limited, an ASX100 mining and exploration company. Ms McDonald holds a
Master's degree in Corporate Governance, and is a Fellow of the Governance
Institute of Australia.

proceeds from the sale were £48.0 million and were received on 23 January
2025.
In February 2025, the Group sold its Bromus Exploration Licence E63/1952 to a
subsidiary of Ordell Minerals Limited in exchange for the allotment and issue
of 125,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Ordell Minerals Limited.
Additionally, as part of the tenement sale the Group surrendered Exploration
Licence E63/1506 to Ricochet Romance, the same subsidiary of Ordell Minerals
Limited, for cash consideration of £0.1 million.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 31 December 2024
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The half-year consolidated financial statements of Greatland Gold plc and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the six months ended 31 December
2024 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the
Directors on 4 March 2025.
Greatland is a company incorporated in England and Wales whose shares are
publicly traded on the AIM market (AIM: GGP). The nature of the operations and
principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors' Report.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2024
are general purpose condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and UK-adopted international accounting
standards and are presented in sterling (£). The financial information does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. The information relating to the half-year periods to 31
December 2024 and 31 December 2023 are unaudited. PKF Littlejohn LLP has
issued an independent review report on the half-year periods 31 December 2024
and 31 December 2023.
The half-year consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as
at 30 June 2024 and considered together with any public announcements made by
Greatland during the half-year ended 31 December 2024. The annual report of
the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024 is available at
http://greatlandgold.com. The report of auditors on those financial statements
was unqualified.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied by the Group
in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2024 except as noted below relevant notes. The Group has
not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been
issued but is not yet effective.
The amounts contained in this financial report have been rounded to the
nearest £1,000 where noted (£000) under the option available to the Company
under the Companies Act 2006.
3 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the
internal reporting to the Board and the executive management team (the chief
operating decision makers). Greatland operates two segments being:
§ Telfer operations and Havieron mine development in Western Australia
§ Exploration and evaluation of minerals in Australia

3 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Segment EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure, being earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation and is calculated as follows: profit before
income tax plus depreciation, amortisation, impairment, share based payments,
corporate, projects and finance costs, less interest income.
Interest income, corporate related finance costs and acquisition costs are not
allocated to the operating segments as this type of activity is driven by the
central finance function which manages the cash position of the Group.
Segment EBITDA reconciles to profit before income tax from continuing
operations for the half year ended 31 December 2024 as follows:

Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Group satisfies its
performance obligations under its contract with the customer, by transferring
such goods to the customer's control. Control is generally determined to be
when risk and title to the goods pass to the customer.
Bullion revenue is recognised at a point in time upon transfer of control to
the customer and is measured at the amount to which the Group expects to be
entitled which is based on the deal agreement.
Concentrate revenue is generally recognised upon receipt of the bill of lading
when the goods are delivered for shipment under Cost, Insurance and Freight
(CIF) Incoterms. The freight service on export concentrate contracts with CIF
Incoterms represents a separate performance obligation to the transfer of the
concentrate product itself and is separately disclosed where material.
The terms of metal in concentrate sales contracts with third parties contain
provisional pricing arrangements whereby the selling price for metal in
concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices on a specified future date
after shipment to the customer (quotation period). Adjustments to the sales
price occur based on movements in quoted market prices up to the date of final
settlement. The period between provisional invoicing and final settlement is
typically between one and four months. Revenue on provisionally priced sales
is recognised based on the estimated fair value of the total consideration
receivable and is net of deductions related to treatment and refining charges.
Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in the Income Statement each
period until final settlement and presented as part of 'Other
Income/Expenses'.

Inventories
Ore stockpiles, gold in circuit, and finished goods are physically measured or
estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
represents the weighted average cost and includes direct costs and an
appropriate portion of fixed and variable production overhead expenditure,
including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into
finished goods. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
Ore stockpiles which are not scheduled to be processed in the twelve months
after the reporting date are classified as non-current inventory. The Group
believes the processing of these stockpiles will have a future economic
benefit to the Group and accordingly values these stockpiles at the lower of
cost and net realisable value.
Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Any allowance for obsolescence is determined by reference to stock
items identified.

Depreciation and Amortisation
Items of mine development are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The Group uses the units of production basis when depreciating mine-specific
assets which results in a depreciation charge proportional to the depletion of
the anticipated remaining life of mine production. Each item's economic life
has due regard to both its physical life limitations and to present
assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which
it is located.

Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage certain market
risks. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a
derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their
fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in
the Income Statement immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of recognition
in the Income Statement depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
For instruments in hedging transactions, the Group formally designates and
documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items at the
inception of the transaction, as well as its risk management objective and
strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are
designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI) and accumulated in the Cash Flow Hedge Reserve in
equity. Any gain or loss relating to an ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the Income Statement. Amounts accumulated in the Hedge Reserve
are transferred to the Income Statement in the periods when the hedged item
affects the Income Statement, for instance when the forecast sale that is
hedged takes place.
17 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is
sold, terminated or exercised, if it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting
or if the Group changes its risk management objective for the hedging
relationship. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the
hedging instrument recognised via OCI remains deferred in the Cash Flow Hedge
Reserve until the original forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that
was deferred in the Cash Flow Hedge Reserve is recognised immediately in the
Income Statement.
If a hedging instrument being used to hedge a commitment for the purchase or
sale of gold or copper is redesignated as a hedge of another specific
commitment and the original transaction is still expected to occur, the gains
and losses that arose on the hedging instrument prior to its redesignation are
deferred and included in the measurement of the original purchase or sale when
it takes place. If the hedging instrument is redesignated as a hedge of
another commitment because the original purchase or sale transaction is no
longer expected to occur, the gains and losses that arose on the hedge prior
to its redesignation are recognised in the Income Statement at the date of the
redesignation.

Key estimate and judgements
Judgement is applied in determining whether a deferred a deferred tax asset is
recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future forecast
taxable profits are available to utilise those temporary differences and
losses, and the tax losses continue to be available having regard to relevant
tax legislation associated with their recoupment.
The Group recognises deferred income tax assets on carried forward tax losses
to the extent there are sufficient estimated future taxable profits and/or
taxable temporary differences against which the tax losses can be utilised and
that the Group is able to satisfy the continuing ownership test. During the
year tax losses were recognised for the first time commensurate with the
Telfer-Havieron Acquisition, Greatland generating revenue and anticipated
future taxable profits.

(a) Farm-in to Rio Tinto Exploration's Paterson South
In May 2023, Greatland entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement with
Rio Tinto in respect of the Paterson South Project which comprises of nine
exploration licences. Under the farm-in and joint venture arrangement,
Greatland is required to make an up-front payment to Rio Tinto Exploration Pty
Ltd (RTX) of A$350,000 which Greatland has elected to settle in shares. The
farm-in and joint venture agreement was executed in prior years, the up-front
payment was capitalised as part of the acquisition costs of the tenements and
recognised in share-based payment reserves until the shares are issued. These
shares to RTX have not been issued at the date of this report.
(b) September 2024 equity raise
On 10 September 2024, in connection with the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition, a
fully underwritten institutional placing to raise US$325 million (c. £248.6
million) and retail offer to raise US$8.8 million (c. £6.7 million), both
before costs, were announced. The Institutional Placing was oversubscribed and
successfully closed on 11 September 2024, and the Retail Offer was
oversubscribed and successfully closed on 12 September 2024. On 30 September
2024, a general meeting of shareholders approved the issue of shares under the
Institutional Placing and the Retail Offer.
(c) Newmont consideration shares
As part of the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition, Greatland issued 2,669,182,291
ordinary shares to Newmont, representing 20.4% of Greatland shares in issue.
The shares were issued at £0.048 (US$167.5 million) as per the Sale and
Purchase Agreement with Newmont and aligned to the share price from the equity
raise on transaction announcement (10 September 2024). The fair value of the
shares issued at Completion was £200.2 million based on the share price on 4
December 2024. Refer to Note 21 acquisition of Havieron project and Telfer
gold-copper mine for further detail.

(a) Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Greatland's Board approved LTIP became effective in February 2022. The LTIP is
designed to provide long-term incentives for employees (including executive
directors) to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the LTIP,
participants are granted performance rights or options which vest if certain
performance standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the Board's
discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the
plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.
Set out below are performance rights and options granted under the Company's
Employee Equity Incentive Plan over ordinary shares which are granted for nil
cash consideration. Management has assessed that non-market and market
conditions are more than probable to be achieved by the expiry date and
therefore the total value of the performance rights incorporates all
performance rights awarded. The expense recorded as share-based payments is
recognised to the service period end date on a straight-line basis as the
service conditions are inherent in the award.
Each performance right and option converts to one ordinary share in the
Company upon satisfaction of the performance conditions linked to the
performance rights. The performance rights do not carry any other privileges.
The fair value of the non-market condition performance rights granted is
determined based on the number of performance rights awarded multiplied by the
Company's share price on the date awarded.
The expense for the period of £2.1 million represents the fair value of the
instruments expensed over the vesting period.
The Group granted the following on 16 October 2024:
§ FY24 Performance Rights: 17,496,137 performance rights under the Greatland
LTIP which were in respect of the 2024 financial year. The amount of
performance rights will vest depending on a number of performance targets
during a three year performance period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026. The
share-based payment expense to be recognised in future periods is £0.8
million.
§ FY25 Performance Rights: 39,855,249 performance rights under the Greatland
LTIP which were in respect of the 2025 financial year. The amount of
performance rights will vest depending on a number of performance targets
during a three year performance period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. The
share-based payment expense to be recognised in future periods is £2.0
million.
§ Employee Co-Investment Options: 25,000,000 grant of premium priced
co-investment options of £0.119 to incentivise retention through a pivotal
period in the Group's growth and align their interests to pursue value growth
for all shareholders to its then Chief Financial Officer, Mr Dean Horton. Mr
Horton subsequently resigned from his position during the period to pursue
other opportunities, with effect from 13 December 2024. Mr Horton's FY25
Performance Rights lapsed with immediate effect on 13 December 2024, and his
Co-Investment Options will lapse automatically on the six month anniversary of
13 December 2024 (accordingly, they remained on issue at 31 December 2024 but
will automatically lapse on 13 June 2025). Subject to satisfaction of service
criteria, the holder must be employed by Greatland on 31 January 2027 to
exercise. There is nil share-based payment expense to be recognised in future
periods.

21 ACQUISITION OF HAVIERON PROJECT AND TELFER GOLD-COPPER MINE
On 4 December 2024, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Greatland Gold plc,
including Greatland Pty Ltd, completed the acquisition from certain Newmont
Corporation subsidiaries of 70% ownership interest in the Havieron project
(consolidating Greatland's ownership of Havieron to 100%), 100% ownership of
the Telfer gold-copper mine, and other related interests in assets in the
Paterson region.
(a) Consideration
Greatland paid the following upfront consideration upon completion of the
Havieron-Telfer Acquisition:
§ £130.2 million cash consideration, comprising of original US$155.1m
(£122.5 million) cash consideration and estimated purchase price adjustments;
and
§ £200.2 million in the form of 2,669,182,291 Greatland ordinary shares
issued to Newmont (Consideration Shares), representing 20.4% of Greatland
shares on issue. This represents the fair value of the shares based on the
share price on 4 December 2024 of £0.075.
In addition, Greatland has made a US$52.4 million (£41.4 million) cash
repayment of the entire outstanding balance of the Havieron joint venture
loan, which was terminated on completion of the Havieron-Telfer Acquisition.
Greatland incurred acquisition-related costs of £27.1 million associated with
the acquisition, including legal fees, due diligence costs and stamp duty.

Greatland will pay the following amounts to Newmont on a deferred basis:
§ A$32.6 million (£16.6 million) in aggregate estimated purchase price
adjustments, for:
(i) ore mined and stockpiled between 1 October 2024 and Completion and
acquired by Greatland at Completion;
(ii) to compensate Newmont for running only one of the two Telfer processing
trains from 27 October 2024 until Completion (thus preserving ore and
stockpiles for Greatland to process after Completion) due 180 days after
Completion; and
(iii) final purchase price adjustments per the Sale and Purchase Agreement;
and
§ Up to a maximum of US$100 million (c. £79.0 million) in deferred cash
consideration which may be payable to Newmont on the first five years of
Havieron gold production, through a 50% price upside participation by Newmont
above a US$1,850/oz hurdle gold price, subject to an annual cap of US$50
million and aggregate cap of US$100 million. The deferred contingent
consideration will be revalued and reassessed at each reporting date. At 31
December 2024 it was fair valued at £49.5 million reflecting the foreign
currency rate at 31 December 2024.

(CONTINUED)
(b) Assets and liabilities recognised as part of the acquisition
The carrying amounts based on relative fair values attributed to the assets
and liabilities at the date of acquisition are set out below. These reflect
the Havieron-Telfer net identifiable assets of which a single purchase price
was paid and which are reported as a single segment for reporting purposes.
Assets and Liabilities Acquired
The net assets recognised in the 31 December 2024 half year financial
statements have been based on a provisional assessment of their fair value in
accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Greatland has 12 months from the
date of acquisition to finalise the fair values of the net assets acquired.

Asset Acquisition
Greatland has considered the acquisition of Havieron and Telfer as separate
transactions, consistent with the requirements of IFRS 3 Business
Combinations. The acquisition of the 70% interest in Havieron has been treated
as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination having determined
the concentration test in IFRS 3 was met. The concentration test is met if
substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is
concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable
assets. The determination of the fair value for such assets and thus both the
concentration test and any subsequent asset acquisition accounting involves
the use of significant estimates and judgements. The value paid for Havieron
was determined to be concentrated in the value of acquired mine properties and
exploration and evaluation assets.
When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the
assets and liabilities are assigned to carrying amount based on their relative
fair values and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities, as the initial recognition exemption for the deferred
tax under IAS 12 Income Taxes is applied. No goodwill arises on the
acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition are included in the
capitalised cost of the asset.
Business Combination
The acquisition of the Telfer gold-copper mine has been accounted for as a
business combination.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business
combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are
acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary
comprises the fair values of the assets transferred; liabilities incurred to
the former owners of the acquired business; equity interests issued by the
Group; fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement; and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest
in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The application of
acquisition accounting requires significant judgement and estimates to be
made. The Group engages independent third parties to assist with the
determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed,
non-controlling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognised business
valuation methodologies. The income valuation method represents the present
value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using:
§ financial forecasts, which rely on management's estimates of reserve
quantities and exploration potential, costs to produce and develop reserves,
revenues, and operating expenses;
§ long-term growth rates;
§ appropriate discount rates; and
§ expected future capital requirements.
21 ACQUISITION OF HAVIERON PROJECT AND TELFER GOLD-COPPER MINE
(CONTINUED)
The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other
purchasers in the market, normalised for any differences between the assets.
The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable
asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic
and functional obsolescence of the asset and estimates of residual values.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the consideration transferred over the acquisition date fair
value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If
those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of
the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed,
the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
If the initial accounting for the business combination is not complete by the
end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will
be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, but not later than one year
from the acquisition date, the Group will record any material adjustments to
the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed
as of the date of the acquisition.
Significant accounting estimate - deferred contingent consideration
Additional consideration may be payable in cash to Newmont of up to a maximum
of US$100 million (c. £79.0 million) on the first five years of Havieron gold
production, through a 50% price upside participation by Newmont above a
US$1,850/oz hurdle gold price, subject to an annual cap of US$50 million and
aggregate cap of US$100 million. This has been calculated to have a fair value
of US$64.2 million (£50.7 million) using a deterministic approach based on
base case projections (including consensus gold prices).
(c) Other Information
From the date of acquisition, Telfer contributed £8.3 million of revenue and
£2.8 million to profit before tax.
22 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
As at 31 December 2024, Greatland had contractual commitments to capital
expenditure of £6.4 million (30 June 2024: £2.8 million).
