Unicorn Mineral Resources Plc

("Unicorn" or the "Company")

Interim Results for the Period Ended 30 September 2025

Unicorn Mineral Resources Plc (LSE:UMR),  a mineral exploration and development company exploring for Zinc, Lead, Copper and Silver, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the 6 months ended 30 September 2025 (the "Period").

Operating Highlights

·   The Company remains confident in the potential for its Irish Midlands Orefields exploration programme following strong results at neighbouring licences for zinc, lead and silver, which are vitally important to support the transition to the low carbon economy. 

·   Anomalies identified at Kilmallock are analogous to the gravity features identified by Group Eleven Resources (Group Eleven Resources Corp - Home) at their ongoing Ballywire zinc / lead / copper / silver discovery in similar geological terrane in County Limerick, which have been the basis for their subsequent successful drilling programme.

·   Shanoon Resources Limited (Shanoon Resources | Mining & Exploration) is in the process of re-opening the Galmoy mine. which is contiguous to the Company's two Lisheen licences.  The ore in Galmoy is rich in zinc, lead and silver.

·   Building on the gravity survey in December 2024, Unicorn surveyed a further 437 gravity stations in June 2025, across the Waulsortian Reef subcrop on the PL's 754 and 4056 of the Lisheen Block.  The recent surveying was combined with historic data in the Company's database to create a grid with a nominal density of 250 x 250m.  3D modelling is currently underway with the results expected in December 2025

·   As part of the Company's strategy to broaden its portfolio of licences and commodities, The Company has focused on Namibia as a region with an excellent, highly prospective, geological setting and enormous potential for the development of copper resources. A number of opportunities were considered and the Board identified the historic Klein Aub deposit as being of interest.

·   Due diligence work carried out at Klein Aub involved the review of historic data, ground proofing of results and sampling of tails, slimes, outcrop and float. The project has an situ metal content of up to 15,460 tonnes of copper and 1.4 million ounces of silver in the tailings and slimes as well as the potential for shallow / sub-outcropping new mineralised zones immediately along strike from the main deposit. Advanced metallurgical test work on the tailings / slimes is underway with the results expected in early 2026.

·   The Company has signed a Heads of Terms with the Namibian owners of Klein Aub to acquire 75% of the project, subject to successful completion of the metallurgical work.

 

 

 

Financial Highlights

·    The loss for the Period amounted to €222,603 (H1 2024: €252,173) and consisted mainly of the Klein Aub due diligence costs, insurance, London Stock Exchange fees and salaries.

·    €361,861 in cash and cash equivalents at Period end (H1 2024: €405,981)

·    €431,974 carrying value of intangible assets at Period end (H1 2024: €399,544)

·    Loss per share for the Period was 0.54 cents (H1 2024: 0.72 cents)

Patrick Doherty, Chairman of Unicorn Mineral Resources Plc, commented:

"The main focus for the Company has been the due diligence on the Klein Aub project in Namibia.  The potential value is clear, with an in-situ metal value of over $240 million at current prices.  The challenge has been how to extract this from the slimes and tailings given their complex metallurgy.  Tests are underway with results expected in January 2026.  Meanwhile at home, the potential for our Kilmallock and Lisheen licences remains exciting.  Our neighbour at Kilmallock, Group Eleven, continues to produce positive drilling results clearly showing the presence of zinc, lead, copper and silver mineralisation at Ballywire, which is just 8 km along strike from our Kilmallock licences.  Anomalies identified by Unicorn in its July 2024 survey show strong similarities with the anomalies identified by Group Eleven as the basis for their successful drilling programme.  The reopening of the old Galmoy mine by Shanoon Resources on licences contiguous with our Lisheen ground demonstrates the potential of the area and we look forward to the results of our 3D modelling as a prelude to future work.  With results due on key work for Klein Aub and Lisheen over the next couple of months, the Company is looking for a strong start to calendar 2026."

HALF-YEAR REPORT

The Directors are pleased to present an update on the Company's activities over the six-month period ended 30 September 2025. 

As previously announced, activities for the period were split between work in our Irish Licence Blocks and the ongoing investigation of new projects in Namibia, with a focus on the Klein Aub project.

In June 2025, a total of 437 gravity stations were surveyed across the Waulsortian Reef subcrop on the Lisheen Block.  This surveying was combined with the historic data in the UMR database to create a grid with a nominal density of 250 x 250m.  3D modelling is currently underway with results due in December 2025.  Meanwhile, post the period end, Shanoon Resources Limited (Shanoon Resources | Mining & Exploration) has commenced work to reopen the Galmoy mine, which sits contiguous to Unicorn's Lisheen licences.  Shanoon also have plans for an exploration programme for the area that they expect will identify further ore that can be recovered in addition to the known reserve.  The ore in Galmoy is rich in zinc, lead and silver, which are vitally important to support the transition to the low carbon economy.  Such confidence in the area demonstrates the potential value in Unicorn's two Lisheen licences.

With regard to Kilmallock, Group Eleven Resources Corp. (Group Eleven Resources Corp - Home) announced positive drilling results through 2025 at their Ballywire zinc/lead/copper/silver discovery, just 8km along strike to the east of the edge of the Company's Kilmallock block.  These drilling results include some of the best zinc / lead / copper, massive sulphide intersections drilled in Ireland over the past ten years.  These drilling targets were identified from anomalies identified from gravity surveys.  These anomalies are strongly analogous to those identified by Unicorn in the work done last year, indicating a potential at Kilmallock similar to that being discovered at Ballywire.

The focus on Africa has identified Namibia as having significant potential for large copper deposits.  UMR has selected the historic Klein Aub mine within the Kalahari Copper Belt in central Namibia as a priority target and engaged in due diligence work to assess the project.  This has involved site visits, mapping and sampling and analysis.  Detailed metallurgical testing has confirmed the metal grades, and UMR is currently evaluating a processing route for the recovery of the copper and silver from the tailings and slimes dumps that are located on surface and easily accessible.

UMR has signed "Heads of Terms" with the owners of the Klein Aub project and have an opportunity to acquire 75% of the project. This will be dependent upon metallurgical test results due in Jan 2026.

Financial Results & Review

The loss for the Period was €222,603 (H1 2024: €252,173).  The result for the Period consisted mainly of salary costs €116,565 (H1 2024: €136,173) that have been accrued but remain unpaid, along with €56,788 (H1 2024: €75,198) of professional and other costs associated with the quotation on the London Stock Exchange, and €49,250 (H1 2024: €40,803) in administrative expenses.  At the end of the Period, there was €361,861 (H1 2024: €405,981) in cash in hand to cover listing and administrative costs, and other costs incidental to development of mineral projects.

During the Period, the Company did not issue any new shares or options.

The Board monitors the activities and performance of the Company on a regular basis.

UNICORN MINERAL RESOURCES PLC

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

1.         NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Unicorn Mineral Resources PLC is a public limited Company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland. 39 Castleyard, 20/21 St Patrick's Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin is the registered office, which is also the principal place of business of the Company.  The principal activity of the Company during the period was the exploration for minerals and precious metals.  The financial statements have been presented in Euro (€) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  The Company has incurred ongoing losses since inception and has no source of recurring revenue.  The success of the Company is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue their exploration and development activities, the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, and upon establishing future profitable production, or realisation of proceeds on disposal.   These financial statements do not give effect to the adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Financial Statements.

2.1       Going concern

The preparation of financial statements requires an assessment on the validity of the going concern assumption.  The validity of the going concern concept is dependent on the Company having available adequate financial resources to continue operations in 2026, and thereafter finance being available for the continuing working capital requirements of the Company and finance for the development of the Company's projects becoming available.  Based on the assumptions that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue operation and confidence that finance will become available, the Directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for these accounts.  Should the going concern basis not be appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of the company's assets, in particular the intangible assets, to their realisable values.

2.2       Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax payable is based on the taxable profit for the year.  Taxable profit differs from the loss as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.  The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method.  Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.  Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.  Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

2.3       Intangible assets

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration expenditure relates to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential in Ireland.

Evaluation expenditure arises from a detailed assessment of deposits that have been identified as having economic potential.

The costs of exploration properties and cost of licences to explore for or use minerals, which include the cost of acquiring prospective properties and exploration rights and costs incurred in exploration and evaluation activities, are capitalised as intangible assets as part of exploration and evaluation assets.

Exploration costs are capitalised as an intangible asset until technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of reserves are demonstrable, when the capitalised exploration costs are reclassed to property, plant and equipment.  Exploration costs include an allocation of administration and salary costs (including share based payments) as determined by management.

Prior to reclassification to property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment and any impairment loss recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.  Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.  The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.  Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of intangible assets other than goodwill

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment on a licence by licence basis when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.  The company reviews for impairment on an ongoing basis and specifically if any of the following occurs:

(a)     the period for which the Company has a right to explore under the specific licences has expired or is expected to expire;

b)      further expenditure on exploration and evaluation in the specific area is neither budgeted or planned;

c)       the exploration and evaluation has not led to the discovery of economic reserves;

d)      sufficient data exists to indicate that although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

2.4       Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company's statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price.  Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.  Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities are recognised immediately at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI").

The Company includes in this category cash and other receivables.  Due to the nature of the financial assets being short-term in nature, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company only holds receivables at amortised cost, with no significant financing component and which have maturities of less than 12 months and as such, has implemented the simplified approach for expected credit losses (ECL) model under IFRS 9 to account for all receivables.

Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead, recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expires, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.  Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not:

(i)        contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination,

(ii)       held for trading, or

(iii)      designated as at FVOCI,

are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  The Company includes in this category trade and other payables.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period.  The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Warrants and Options

Warrants and options issued are classified separately as equity or as a liability at FVOCI in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.  Warrants or options classified as liabilities at FVOCI are stated at fair value, with any gains and losses arising on remeasurement recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income.
