Clifford Elphick, Non-Executive Chairman of ZIOC, commented:

"During the first half of 2024, ZIOC completed a successful technical
evaluation process with its Chinese EPC Partner to secure Chinese contractor
pricing and to update the cost estimates of the 30Mtpa Feasibility Study. This
is a completely different exercise to the study work conducted by consulting
firms in the past, as the Chinese EPC Partner is a constructor and developer
of iron ore mining projects, with specific expertise in slurry pipelines and
pellet feed concentrate processing. We were delighted with the results and are
pleased to have demonstrated the continued robust economics of the Zanaga
Project.

Furthermore, port infrastructure discussions continue, and strategic partners
remain interested in the Project. Volatile financial markets have delayed our
engagement with these entities but we continue to remain positive on the
potential to secure interest in the project in due course.

Following the repayment of Glencore's loan I am delighted that ZIOC is debt
free. This is key to supporting management's engagement with strategic
partners, and I look forward to the management team progressing the next phase
of this initiative."

About us:

Zanaga Iron Ore Company Limited (AIM ticker: ZIOC) is an iron ore exploration
and development company, with the Company's flagship asset being its 100%
owned Zanaga Iron Ore Project located in the Republic of Congo, for which the
Government Mining Licence, Environmental Permit and Mining Convention are all
in place.

 

Business Review - Operations

Iron Ore Market

The iron ore market has seen volatility of late, with a significant reduction
in benchmark pricing due to concerns over growth in China. However, recent
stimulus from the Chinese government has renewed iron ore pricing to the same
levels to which we have become accustomed. China continues to consume
significant quantities of iron ore to feed its substantial steel industry and
initiatives to produce lower carbon emission 'green steel' provide further
support for premium pricing related to high grade iron ore products. This
provides further impetus for the development of high grade iron ore projects
such as the Zanaga Project.

2024 FS update process

In 2023 the Company partnered with a Chinese iron ore technical expert
engineering firm ("Chinese EPC Partner") as part of a process to update the
economic evaluation of the Zanaga 30 Mtpa staged development project.

Using the 2014 Feasibility Study's ("2014 FS") infrastructure designs,
flowsheets and material take off lists, direct and indirect cost estimates
were updated to current market pricing using Chinese major equipment and
contractor pricing for both phases of 12 Mtpa Stage One haematite ("Stage
One"), plus 18 Mtpa Stage Two magnetite expansion ("Stage Two") projects,
inclusive of buried concentrate pipeline and port infrastructure.

A second phase of optimisation work ("Optimisation Study") is under
consideration and involves investigating the potential to apply proprietary
iron ore processing technology that the Chinese EPC Partner possesses, with
the potential to provide further capital and operating cost savings beyond the
results of the 2024 FS Update.

The 2024 FS update was completed to a (+/- 20% accuracy) full feasibility
study level of definition, with the following positive results:

§ 12Mtpa Stage One

-      Capital investment of US$ 1.94 billlion

-      Operating cost of US$ 31.5 / dmt FOB

-      Net Present Value of US$ 3.68 billion

-      Internal Rate of Return of 26.2%

§ 18Mtpa Stage Two optional expansion

-      Capital investment of US$ 1.87 billion

-      Operating cost of US$ 24.9 / dmt FOB

-      Total combined Net Present Value of US$ 7.36 billion

-      Internal Rate of Return of 28.2%

The Company believes these positive results provide much greater confidence in
the Project's economic feasibility in today's market and cost environment, and
with this, provides a key catalyst for potential strategic investors to
consider funding of the next logical Project phase, being the front end
engineering and design (FEED) program to further define the Project's physical
elements and risk abatement strategies.

Port infrastructure discussions underway

Discussions are in progress with a large port infrastructure development firm
to investigate opportunities to align the Zanaga Project with their planned
port infrastructure facilities in Pointe-Noire. Consideration is being given
to both of the following port infrastructure initiatives:

·    Opportunity for expansion of the existing port of Pointe-Noire,
potentially enabling a larger solution for the EPP Project.

·    Potential development solutions for a large bulk mineral port
terminal capable of supporting the Zanaga 30Mtpa staged development project.

EPP Project

Whilst ZIOC's focus during 2023 was on advancing the 2024 FS update process,
the Project Team continued to undertake a process to evaluate the potential
development of an EPP Project that would be quicker to construct than the
larger 30Mtpa staged development project and would utilise existing road, rail
and port infrastructure.

The Project Team continued to advance efforts to develop optionality relating
to the viability of the EPP Project. The Project Team has continued to
evaluate the potential for the EPP Project to operate as a standalone project,
or as an initial pathway to production during the construction period of the
flagship 30Mtpa Staged Development Project.

Subscription Agreement with Shard Merchant Capital Ltd

The Company has been pleased with the success of the 2020 and 2023 ESA with
SMC which has provided the Company with access to funding through a relatively
low cost structure that minimised dilution to shareholders.

The proceeds received by the Company from SMC pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement have been applied to general working capital, including the
provision of further contributions to the Zanaga Project's operations.

As a result, the Company has entered into a new 2024 ESA with SMC on 1 July
2024, post period end. An overview of the two ESAs is provided below:

1)    2023 ESA

a.    On 1 July 2023 ZIOC announced that the Company had entered into a
Subscription Agreement with SMC, a financial services provider.

b.    Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and SMC
agreed to subscribe for up to 36 million ordinary shares of no par value in
the Company ("Subscription Shares") in three tranches of 12 million shares
each

c.     Total net proceeds of £2,266,255 were received from the facility

2)    2024 ESA

a.    As announced by the Company, on 1 July 2024 the Company entered into
a new Subscription Agreement (the 2024 ESA) with SMC.

b.    Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company will issue and SMC will
subscribe for 36 million ordinary shares of no par value in the Company
("Subscription Shares") in three tranches of 12 million shares each (the First
tranche was issued immediately on 1 July 2024).

On 1 July, SMC completed a block sale of 14,380,953 shares at a price of 5.25
pence per share ("Trade Price") (the "SMC Block Sale"), and simultaneously the
Company completed subscriptions of new ordinary shares at the Trade Price with
Glencore, of approximately US$ 300,000 in aggregate; and Mr Clifford Elphick
of approximately US$ 20,000 in aggregate. The entirety of the Company's
remaining US$744k outstanding loan to Glencore at the time was repaid on 10
July 2024 as a result of this receipt of funding. ZIOC remains debt free, a
positive step in enabling the advancement of further discussions with
potential strategic partners.

Appointment of joint Corporate Broker

In March 2024 ZIOC appointed Shard Capital Partners LLP ("SCP") as Joint
Corporate Broker, alongside Panmure Liberum Limited, who are also the
Company's Nominated Advisor and Joint Broker. The addition of SCP to ZIOC's
advisory team provides further support to the Company, and additional
resources as the Company looks to advance to the next stage of development on
the Zanaga Project.

Director resignation

Following Denis Weinstein's departure from Glencore, with effect from 29
September 2024, he will cease to be a director of the Company. Glencore will
consider its right to appoint a replacement director to the Board of ZIOC in
due course.

Cash Reserves and Project Funding

As at 29 June 2024, ZIOC has outlined a 2024 Project Work Programme and Budget
as outlined below.

At 30 June 2024 the Company had cash reserves of US$0.09m The Company had cash
reserves of US$0.08m as at 10(th) September 2024.

In order to raise additional funding the Company entered a Subscription
Agreement with SMC (as described above). The financing structure with SMC
enables the Company to access funding for the costs that the Company is
expected to meet in the near future. For illustrative purposes only, if the
average price at which SMC places the 36,000,000 shares was 5.49 pence (being
ZIOC's 90 day value weighted average share price as at 28 September 2023), the
net proceeds received by ZIOC from such sales would be approximately £1.98m.
Based on the current cost base at the Zanaga Project, the direct loan facility
to Jumelles Ltd, the current low corporate overheads of ZIOC, the agreed cash
preservation plan adopted by the Company (described below), the Company's
existing cash reserves and (on the basis of cautious assumptions made by the
Company in its funding model) the funds expected to be obtained from the
funding facility established by the Subscription Agreement with SMC, the board
of directors of ZIOC (the "Board") believes that the Company will be
adequately positioned to support its operations going forward in the near
future. As the final cash amounts to be received for each tranche of issued
shares, and the timing of this receipt, are dependent on SMC successfully
selling the shares prior to transferring funds to the Company, the Board is of
the view that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. However,
the Board acknowledges that there is a material uncertainty which could give
rise to significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that the Company may be unable to realise its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless,
based on and taking into account the foregoing factors, the Board are
satisfied the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its own working
capital requirements up to, and beyond, twelve months from the approval of
these accounts.

The Company continues to review the costs of its operational activities with a
view to conserving its cash resources.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Business information and going concern basis of preparation

As at 29 June 2024, ZIOC has outlined a 2024 Project Work Programme and Budget
as outlined below.

At 30 June 2024 the Company had cash reserves of US$0.09m The Company had cash
reserves of US$0.08m as at 10(th) September 2024.

In order to raise additional funding the Company entered a Subscription
Agreement with SMC (as described above). The financing structure with SMC
enables the Company to access funding for the costs that the Company is
expected to meet in the near future. For illustrative purposes only, if the
average price at which SMC places the 36,000,000 shares was 5.49 pence (being
ZIOC's 90 day value weighted average share price as at 28 September 2023), the
net proceeds received by ZIOC from such sales would be approximately £1.98m.
Based on the current cost base at the Zanaga Project, the direct loan facility
to Jumelles Ltd, the current low corporate overheads of ZIOC, the agreed cash
preservation plan adopted by the Company (described below), the Company's
existing cash reserves and (on the basis of cautious assumptions made by the
Company in its funding model) the funds expected to be obtained from the
funding facility established by the Subscription Agreement with SMC, the board
of directors of ZIOC (the "Board") believes that the Company will be
adequately positioned to support its operations going forward in the near
future. As the final cash amounts to be received for each tranche of issued
shares, and the timing of this receipt, are dependent on SMC successfully
selling the shares prior to transferring funds to the Company, the Board is of
the view that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. However,
the Board acknowledges that there is a material uncertainty which could give
rise to significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that the Company may be unable to realise its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Nevertheless,
based on and taking into account the foregoing factors, the Board are
satisfied the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its own working
capital requirements up to, and beyond, twelve months from the approval of
these accounts.

The Company continues to review the costs of its operational activities with a
view to conserving its cash resources.

2. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently
applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

statements has been prepared in applying the accounting policies and
presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The
comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 are not the
Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. The 2023 accounts have
been reported on by the Company's auditors. The report of the auditors was (i)
unqualified and (ii) did not include a reference to any matter to which the
auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report.

4. Segmental reporting

The Company has one operating segment, being its investment in the Zanaga
Project, held through Jumelles.

Islands ("BVI"), provided the Company does not trade in the BVI and does not
have any employees working in the BVI. All dividends, interest, rents,
royalties and other expense amounts paid by the Company, and capital gains
realised with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of
the Company, are exempt from taxation in the BVI.
