Beowulf Mining plc

("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Unaudited Financial Results for the Period Ended 30 September 2024

Beowulf Mining (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, announces its unaudited financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2024 (the “Period”).

Activities in the three months ended 30 September 2024 (“Quarter”)

Sweden

• Significant progress was made at the Kallak or Gállok Iron Ore Project (“Kallak”) during the Quarter, in preparation for the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) and Environmental Permit application.
• Metallurgical test-work confirmed the ability to produce an exceptionally high-grade, low impurity iron ore concentrate grading over 70% iron content ("Fe") and containing less than 2.0% silica and <0.23% alumina.
• Additional technical workstreams including mineral processing, site infrastructure, logistics and transportation, and water and waste management were also progressed during the Quarter with the planned conclusion of the PFS in Q2 2025.
• The Consultation Process for Kallak, a critical part of the Environmental Permitting process, was initiated with the publication of a Consultation Document which set out the main parameters and potential impacts of the project.

Finland

• During the Quarter, further progress was made towards conclusion of the PFS for the Graphite Anode Materials Plant (“GAMP”) in Finland, which is expected to be completed in Q1 2025.
• Optimisation work, specifically on the water treatment process, demonstrated the ability to recover and recycle over 90% of sodium hydroxide, the key reagent in the Purification process, thereby reducing both the input reagent costs and the environmental impact.

Kosovo

• Exploration activity in Kosovo, undertaken by Beowulf’s wholly owned subsidiary Vardar Minerals, focused on infill soil and grab sampling on the Shala East licence.

Financial

• The underlying administration expenses of £408,605 in Q3 2024 were lower than Q3 2023 of £580,203. This decrease is primarily due to professional fees of £102,037 (Q3 2023: £191,394), P.R. services of £10,313 (Q3 2023: £30,704), legal fees of £3,250 (Q3 2023: £52,452) and travelling expenses of £9,356 (Q3 2023: £21,936).
• The consolidated loss before tax for the nine months to 30 September 2024 decreased to £1,384,496 (2023: £2,385,743). This decrease is primarily due to share-based payment expenses of £226,530 (2023: £363,354), professional fees of £395,816 (2023: £596,590), directors and staff costs of £345,896 (2023: £545,257), legal fees of £12,121 (2023: £85,928), P.R. services of £37,679 (2023: £79,471), a foreign currency loss of £64,414 (2023: £172,563), finance costs in relation to a bridging loan of £59,147 (2023: £195,304) and a decrease to £Nil in both downstream processing costs (2023: £168,457) and grant income (2023: £83,955) due to capitlisation of the project during the current period.
• Consolidated basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended 30 September 2024 was 1.05 pence (Q3 2023: loss of 2.45 pence restated for the 50 to 1 share consolidation in Q2 FY24).
• £1,763,718 in cash was held at 30 September 2024 (30 September 2023: £1,719,066).
• Exploration assets increased to £15,586,309 at 30 September 2024, compared to £14,356,876 at 30 September 2023.
• The cumulative translation losses held in equity increased by £718,786 in the nine months ended 30 September 2024 to £2,176,658 (31 December 2023: loss of £1,457,872). Much of the Company's exploration costs are in Swedish Krona, which has weakened against the Pound since 31 December 2023.
• At 30 September 2024, there were 31,561,251 Swedish Depository Receipts representing 81.25% of the issued share capital of the Company. The remaining issued share capital of the Company is held in the UK.

Post Period Activities

• The Consultation Process for Kallak continued after the end of the Period, with a number of constructive meetings with local stakeholders and authorities.
• Following the end of the Period, the Company announced the completion of the Business Finland funded project 'Spheronisation and Purification of Natural Graphite for the European Lithium-Ion Battery Market'. Grant funding of €530,000 was received, equivalent to 50% of the three-year €1.06 million budget for the project, with the remaining balance funded by Grafintec's cash reserves.
• The Company also announced further grant funding of €232,000 committed by Business Finland, equivalent to 50% of the 3-year €464,000 budget for Grafintec's 'Management and Valorisation of Waste Streams in the Coated Spherical Graphite Production Process' project.
• Coating test-work for GAMP is continuing, with the PFS anticipated to be completed in Q1 2025.

Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

“Excellent progress continues to be made across our two core assets, and we have a busy period ahead as we finalise the studies and environmental work.”

“The Consultation Process for Kallak is in full swing with multiple meetings with stakeholders and relevant authorities. Completing the metallurgical test-work was a major step forward for the project, demonstrating that it can produce a market leading high-grade, low-impurity product. Other technical studies in support of both the PFS and Environmental Permit application continue to advance on schedule.

“The majority of the test-work for GAMP is now complete ahead of the PFS, which is targeted for Q1 2025.”

About Beowulf Mining plc

Beowulf Mining plc ("Beowulf" or the "Company") is an exploration and development company, listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and the Spotlight Exchange in Sweden. The Company listed in Sweden in 2008 and, at 30 September 2024 was 81.25% owned by Swedish shareholders.

Beowulf’s purpose is to be a responsible and innovative company that creates value for our shareholders, wider society and the environment, through sustainably producing critical raw materials, which includes iron ore, graphite and base metals, needed for the transition to a Green Economy.

The Company has an attractive portfolio of assets, including commodities such as iron ore, graphite, gold and base metals, with activities in exploration, the development of mines and downstream production in Sweden, Finland and Kosovo.

The Company's most advanced project is the Kallak iron ore asset in northern Sweden from which testwork has produced a 'market leading' magnetite concentrate of over 70%iron content.  In the Kallak area, the Mineral Resources of the deposits have been classified according to the PERC Standards 2017, as was reported by the Company via RNS on 25 May 2021, based on a revised resource estimation by Baker Geological Services. The total Measured and Indicated Resource reports at 132 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 28.3% iron ("Fe"), with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39 Mt grading 27.1%  Fe.

In Finland, Grafintec, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is developing the Graphite Anode Material Plant to supply anode material to the lithium-ion battery industry. The Company has a site reserved at the GigaVaasa industrial hub in western Finland and is completing a Pre-Feasibility Study on the downstream processing plant. While the intention is to initially import graphite concentrate from a third-party mine, Grafintec has a portfolio of graphite projects in Finland including one of Europe’s largest flake graphite resources in the Aitolampi project in eastern Finland. Grafintec is working towards creating a sustainable value chain in Finland from high quality natural flake graphite resources to anode material production, leveraging renewable power, targeting Net Zero CO₂ emissions across the supply chain.

In Kosovo, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Vardar Minerals ("Vardar"), is focused on exploration in the Tethyan Belt, a major orogenic metallogenic province for base and precious metals.  Vardar is delivering exciting results across its portfolio of licences and has several exploration targets, including lead, zinc, copper, gold and lithium.

Kallak is the foundation asset of the Company, and, with Grafintec and Vardar, each business area displays strong prospects, presents opportunities to grow, with near-term and longer-term value-inflection points.

Beowulf wants to be recognised for living its values of Respect, Partnership and Responsibility. The Company’s ESG Policy is available on the website following the link below:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

1. Nature of Operations

Beowulf Mining plc (the “Company”) is domiciled in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is 201 Temple Chambers, 3-7 Temple Avenue, London, EC4Y 0DT. This consolidated financial information comprises that of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the ‘Group’ and individually ‘Group companies’). The Group is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of natural resources assets and has not yet generated revenues.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (IFRS). The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation used in the preparation of the interim financial information are the same as those used in the Group’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial information in this statement does not constitute full statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the UK Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the period ended 30 September 2024 is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the auditors. The financial information for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 is an extract from the audited financial statements of the Group and Company. The auditor’s report on the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 was unqualified but did include a material uncertainty relating to going concern.

The financial statements are presented in GB Pounds Sterling. They are prepared on the historical cost basis or the fair value basis where the fair valuing of relevant assets and liabilities has been applied.

Management have prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that the Group will need to raise further funds within the next 12 months for corporate overheads and to advance its key projects and investments.

The Directors are confident they are taking all necessary steps to ensure that the required finance will be available, and they have successfully raised equity finance in the past. They have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, while they are confident of being able to raise the new funds as they are required, there are currently no agreements in place, and there can be no certainty that they will be successful in raising the required funds within the appropriate timeframe.

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

Total Group exploration costs of £15,172,146 are currently carried at cost in the financial statements. No impairment has been recognised during the Period (2023: £350,158 in projects Ågåsjiegge and Åtvidaberg).

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on a number of factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management are required to consider whether there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of this asset may not be recoverable.

The most significant exploration asset within the Group is Kallak. The Company applied for an Exploitation Concession for Kallak North in April 2013 and this was finally awarded in March 2022.

Kallak is included in the condensed financial statements as at 30 September 2024 as an intangible exploration licence with a carrying value of £9.9 million. Given the Exploitation Concession was awarded, Management have considered that there is no current risk associated with Kallak and thus have not impaired the project.
