Colm Howlin, CFO, Commented
“This has been an exceptional period of financial performance. Gold
production for the first half of 2025 totaled 20,545 ounces, representing a 14
per cent increase on the same period in 2024. This robust operational
performance, combined with an average realised gold price of $3,093 per ounce,
drove EBITDA to $26.3 million for the period – more than double the $13.0
million reported in the first half of 2024.
The Company ended the period with a cash balance of $30.4 million, up
significantly from $22.2 million at the end of 2024. This reflects strong cash
generation from operations and our continued discipline in capital deployment.
Net cash inflow from operations, after mine development expenditure of $2.7
million, was $19.2 million compared with $6.6 million in the same period of
2024. With exploration activity accelerating and a 30,000-metre drill
programme underway across both Palito Complex and Coringa, the Company is
positioning itself for future resource growth and long-term value creation.
While mine development expenditure has increased year-on-year, the investment
continues to underpin our growth and expansion plans. All-In Sustaining Costs
(AISC) for the period were $1,792 per ounce, reflecting both inflationary
pressures and the increased development activity. Nevertheless, the Company
continues to deliver strong margins, underpinned by the high gold price
environment and improved production profile.
A post-tax profit of $18.9 million for the period – up from $9.2 million in
2024 – translated into earnings of 24.99 cents per share, compared to 12.18
cents for the same six-month period last year. These results underscore the
strength of Serabi’s operations and the positive momentum as we advance
through 2025.”
Overview of the financial results
In the first half of 2025, the Group has reported revenue and operating costs
related to the sale of 20,215 ounces in the period (20,545 ounces produced).
This compares to sales reported of only 18,535 ounces in the first half of
2024. Reported revenues and costs reflect the ounces sold in each period and
as a result total costs for the six-month period are higher than for the
corresponding period of 2024.
On 7 January 2024, the Group completed a $5.0 million unsecured loan
arrangement with Brazilian bank Itau which carried a fixed interest coupon of
8.47 per cent. The loan was repaid as a bullet payment on 6 January 2025. On
22 January 2025, the Group completed a further $5.0 million unsecured loan
arrangement with a different Brazilian bank (Santander) which carries a fixed
interest coupon of 6.16 per cent. This loan is repayable on 16 January 2026.
The ore sorter at Coringa has now been operational for six months and has
performed exceptionally during this period. Benefiting from favourable
economics, the ore sorter has been utilised to process low-grade ore that had
been stockpiled since the commencement of operations at the mine, while
higher-grade ROM has continued to be transported directly to the Palito
Complex plant. As a result of this approach, gold production from Coringa is
expected to exceed the original plan for the year.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation
1. Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are for the three
and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025. Comparative information has been
provided for the unaudited three and six-month periods ended 30 June 2024 and,
where applicable, the audited twelve-month period from 1 January 2024 to 31
December 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all the disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set
of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2024 annual
report.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods have been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim
Financial Reporting” and the accounting policies are consistent with those
of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 and
those envisaged for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December
2025.
The interim financial information has not been audited and does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Whilst
the financial information included in this announcement has been compiled in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) this
announcement itself does not contain sufficient financial information to
comply with IFRS. The Group statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December
2024 prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in
conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor’s report on these accounts was
unqualified. The auditor’s report did not contain a statement under Section
498 (2) or 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2025
The Group has not adopted any standards or amendments in advance of their
effective date. The following new amendment has been issued by the IASB and is
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025:
Amendments to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates:
Lack of Exchangeability
The amendments provide guidance for determining the spot exchange rate when
exchangeability between two currencies is lacking. They clarify when a
currency is considered exchangeable and introduce a methodology for estimating
an appropriate exchange rate when necessary. The Group does not expect a
material impact on its financial statements from these amendments.
No other standards or amendments are expected to be effective in 2025.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that
are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
current or future reporting periods.
These financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
(i) Going concern
At 30 June 2025 the Group held cash of US$30.4 million which represents an
increase of US$8.2 million compared to 31 December 2024.
On 7 January 2024, the Group completed a US$5.0 million unsecured loan
arrangement with Brazilian bank Itau which carried a fixed interest coupon of
8.47 per cent. The loan was repaid as a bullet payment on 6 January 2025. On
22 January 2025, the Group completed a further US$5.0 million unsecured loan
arrangement with a different Brazilian bank (Santander) which carries a fixed
interest coupon of 6.16 per cent. This loan is repayable on 16 January 2026.
Management prepares, for Board review, regular updates of its operational
plans and cash flow forecasts based on their best judgement of the expected
operational performance of the Group and using economic assumptions that the
Directors consider are reasonable in the current global economic climate. The
current plans assume that during 2025 the Group will continue gold production
from its Palito Complex operation as well as increase production from the
Coringa mine and will be able to increase gold production to exceed the levels
of 2024.
The Directors will limit the Group’s discretionary expenditures, when
necessary, to manage the Group’s liquidity.
The Directors acknowledge that the Group remains subject to operational and
economic risks and any unplanned interruption or reduction in gold production
or unforeseen changes in economic assumptions may adversely affect the level
of free cash flow that the Group can generate on a monthly basis. The
Directors have a reasonable expectation that, after taking into account
reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and the current
macroeconomic situation, the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt
the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.
2. Other Income and Expenses
Under the copper exploration alliance with Vale announced on 10 May 2024, the
related exploration activities undertaken by the Group under the management of
a working committee (comprising representatives from Vale and Serabi), were
funded in their entirety by Vale during Phase 1 of the programme. Following
the completion of Phase 1, Vale advised the Group, in April 2024, that it did
not wish to continue the exploration alliance.
Exploration and development of copper deposits is not the core activity of the
Group and further funding beyond the Phase 1 commitment would be required
before a judgment could be made as to a project being commercially viable.
There is a significant cost involved in developing new copper deposits and it
is unlikely that, without the financial support of a partner, the Group would
independently seek to develop a copper project in preference to any of its
existing gold projects and discoveries. As a result, both the funding received
from Vale and the related exploration expenditures has been recognised through
the income statement. As this is not a principal business activity of the
Group these receipts and expenditures are classified as other income and other
expenses.

4. Taxation
The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset to the extent that the Group has
reasonable certainty as to the level and timing of future profits that might
be generated and against which the asset may be recovered. The deferred tax
liability arising on unrealised exchange gains has been eliminated in the
three-month period to 30 June 2025 reflecting the stronger Brazilian Real
exchange rate at the end of the period and resulting in deferred tax income of
US$1,054,859 (six months to 30 June 2024 – income of US$796,454).
The Group has also incurred a tax charge in Brazil for the six-month period of
US$5,070,459 (six months to 30 June 2024 tax charge - US$1,448,598).

in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share.
6. Post balance sheet events
There has been no item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature
likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company to affect significantly
the continuing operation of the entity, the results of these operations, or
the state of affairs of the entity in future financial periods
