CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The first half of 2024 represents a pivotal financial achievement for PYX as
we have attained positive EBITDA for the first time since our listing. This
success highlights the impact of our strategic initiatives and operational
efficiencies. Our EBITDA for the period reached US$22.8k, a significant
turnaround from the negative US$9.8 million recorded during the same period
last year.

 

Even more encouraging is the performance of our underlying EBITDA, which has
risen by over 457% to US$732k compared to US$131k in the first half of 2023.
This substantial improvement reflects the success of our efforts to optimise
production and control costs, positioning PYX for sustainable profitability
moving forward.

 

Furthermore, PYX continues to maintain a robust balance sheet and remains
debt-free, a testament to our prudent financial management; we closed the
period with a solid cash position of US$7.6 million. This is a result of an
increase in net cash used in operating working capital of US$1.2m, US$0.7m
investment in capex and a positive US$1.7m as a result of financial
activities, mainly showing the strong support of our shareholders. This
financial stability provides us with the flexibility to pursue growth
opportunities, both organically and opportunistically through acquisitions,
with the aim of becoming a consolidator of mineral sands in Indonesia and
further enhancing shareholder value.

 

Operationally, heavy rain in May and June and the collapse of a bridge
providing access to the mine impacted operations during the period with a 20%
reduction in the production of zircon to 4.5kt (2023: 5.7kt) and a 16%
reduction in total mineral sands (zircon, rutile and ilmenite) produced to
5.7kt (2023: 6.8kt). Despite this, we were able to sell almost everything we
produced, resulting in an 84% increase in total mineral sands sold in
comparison to 5.2kt in 2023; a great achievement which validates our decision
to diversify our client base.

 

Several operational advancements and strategic milestones were achieved in the
first six months of 2024. Perhaps the most significant in terms of long-term
cost benefits was the successful connection of the Mandiri Mineral Separation
Plant to the local electricity grid of Kalimantan  estimated to save up to
80% in the cost of fuel and to reduce carbon emissions. This not only
streamlines our energy costs but also supports our broader sustainability
goals, positioning PYX as a leader in the responsible extraction and
processing of critical minerals.

 

PYX was granted two key Work Programme & Budget licences / Rencana Kerja
dan Anggaran Biaya ("WP&B"/ "RKAB") received from the Indonesian Energy
and Mineral Resources Department ("ESDM") enabling us to ramp up production
and to meet the increasing global demand for these critical minerals. A
two-year licence allowing us to produce up to 94kt per annum ("ktpa") of
Premium zircon, ilmenite, and rutile at Mandiri. Under the terms of the
licence, PYX is authorised to export 24ktpa of premium zircon with grades of
65.5%, 50ktpa Wet Ton ("WE")/year of ilmenite with 45% grades and 20ktpa
WE/year of rutile with 90% grades. Additionally, post period-end we announced
a three-year licence for our Tisma Project ("Tisma") to extract and process up
to 88.8kt minerals. With a 27% recovery factor, this enables the production of
circa 8ktpa of premium zircon of which 6.4ktpa may be exported and 1.6ktpa can
be sold to domestic Indonesian markets. Importantly, the terms of the licences
allow us to export 80% of the minerals produced to overseas market, where we
can command more favourable prices. This not only enhances our revenue
potential but also reinforces our position in the global market.

 

In March, we were thrilled to announce the first export of ilmenite to a
customer in Zhanjiang, China, following the award of the modified licence to
export ilmenite announced on the 12(th) of March 2024. Client orders had been
placed on hold following a modification to the original rutile and ilmenite
licences announced in August 2023 and January 2024 respectively and the
Company had been stockpiling TiO(2).  PYX currently has an inventory of 1,090
tonnes of Premium Zircon, 5,673 tonnes of Ilmenite and 352 tonnes of Rutile.

 

We are deeply committed to maintaining and upholding the highest ESG standards
and were therefore honoured by the Zircon Industry Association ("ZIA") with
the prestigious Gold ESG Excellence Award. As the trade association is
representing approximately 80% of global zircon and zirconia production, the
ZIA's Gold ESG Excellence Award is among the highest honours in the ESG
reporting and rating process. This accolade recognized our ongoing dedication
to exemplary ESG practices and responsible business stewardship.

 

These developments highlight our commitment to driving value for our
shareholders while contributing to the broader economic landscape in
Indonesia. As we move forward, we remain focused on executing our strategy,
leveraging our operational efficiencies, and capitalising on the opportunities
presented by our enhanced production capabilities.

 

Outlook

Looking ahead, PYX remains bullish on the prospects for mineral sands,
particularly premium zircon. The market dynamics continue to favour strong
pricing driven by a supply-demand deficit. With a limited number of mines
producing zircon and some of those nearing the end of their life, the pressure
on the market to secure alternative supply sources will be intensifying in the
future. This scenario presents a significant opportunity for PYX to capitalise
on its position as a reliable and high-quality producer.

 

We are optimistic that the operational improvements and efficiencies
implemented on-site will begin to yield substantial benefits in the second
half of the year. As we ramp up production and increase our sales volumes, we
expect these efforts to enhance our financial performance and to strengthen
our market position. We remain committed to meeting the growing global demand
for premium zircon and other mineral sands, and we are confident in our
ability to deliver continued growth and value for our shareholders.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

 

Note 1: Summary of Significant accounting policies

 

a.     Basis of Preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year reporting
period ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134:
Interim Financial Reporting.  The Group is a for-profit entity for financial
reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

 

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on
the latest annual financial statements of Pyx Resources Limited and its
controlled entities (referred to as the "Consolidated Group" or "Group").  As
such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant
changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore
recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements of the group for the year ended 31 December 2023,
together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

 

These interim financial statements were authorised for issue on 13 September
2024.

b.     Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in
this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual
financial statements.

 

The group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting
Standards, but determined that their application to the financial statements
is either not relevant or not material.

 

i).             Fair Value Measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair
value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date;
and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal
market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous
market.

 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic
best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair
value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three
levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the
inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a
reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.

 

Note 2: Revenue and Other Income

 

The group has recognised the following amounts relating to revenue in the
statement of profit or loss.

Revenue from contracts with customers

 

Revenue from contracts with customers represents the amounts received and
receivable for production and distribution of premium zircon and concentrates
and titanium dioxide.

 

 

NOTE 3: LOSS ON FAIR VALUE CHANGE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the liability, assuming they act in their economic best
interests. liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three
levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the
inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a
reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.

information within the meaning of applicable Australian and UK securities
laws, which are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the
date of this Announcement.

 

This forward-looking information includes, or may be based upon, without
limitation, estimates, forecasts and statements as to management's
expectations with respect to, among other things, the timing and amount of
funding required to execute the Company's exploration, development and
business plans, capital and exploration expenditures, the effect on the
Company of any changes to existing legislation or policy, government
regulation of mining operations, the length of time required to obtain
permits, certifications and approvals, the success of exploration, development
and mining activities, the geology of the Company's properties, environmental
risks, the availability of labour, the focus of the Company in the future,
demand and market outlook for precious metals and the prices thereof, progress
in development of mineral properties, the Company's ability to raise funding
privately or on a public market in the future, the Company's future growth,
results of operations, performance, and business prospects and opportunities.
Wherever possible, words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend",
"may" and similar expressions have been used to identify such forward-looking
information.

 

Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of
management at the date the information is given, and on information available
to management at such time. Forward looking information involves significant
risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that could cause actual
results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results
discussed or implied in the forward-looking information. These factors,
including, but not limited to, fluctuations in currency markets, fluctuations
in commodity prices, the ability of the Company to access sufficient capital
on favourable terms or at all, changes in national and local government
legislation, taxation, controls, regulations, political or economic
developments in Indonesia and Australia or other countries in which the
Company does business or may carry on business in the future, operational or
technical difficulties in connection with exploration or development
activities, employee relations, the speculative nature of mineral exploration
and development, obtaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing

especially title to undeveloped properties, the inherent risks involved in the
exploration and development of mineral properties, the uncertainties involved
in interpreting drill results and other geological data, environmental
hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures,
cave-ins and flooding, limitations of insurance coverage and the possibility
of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, and should be
considered carefully. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect
the Company's actual results and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements
made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Prospective investors should not place
undue reliance on any forward-looking information.

 

Although the forward-looking information contained in this Announcement is
based upon what management believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable
assumptions, the Company cannot assure prospective purchasers that actual
results will be consistent with such forward-looking information, as there may
be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended, and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility
for the accuracy and completeness of any such forward-looking information. The
