Dear Shareholders,
![]()
Harena Rare Earths PLC , marking a period of substantial progress and growing momentum as we advance the Ampasindava Ionic Clay Rare Earth Project (the in Madagascar towards production.
2025 has been a transformative year for the Company. In February 2025 the Company completed the acquisition of Harena Resources Pty Ltd, the owner of the Project and changed its name to Harena Resources PLC. On 27 October 2025 the Company changed its name from Harena Resources PLC to Harena Rare Earths PLC.
Since then, we have advanced our globally significant 606,000 tonne TREO JORC-compliant resource, which includes a premium mix of heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium, terbium, neodymium, and praseodymium,
-performance technologies,
and advanced defence systems.
Our Project is not an exploration play; it is a true mining project with a clear development pathway. Following the completion of baseline metallurgical test work and our Pre-Feasibility Study scheduled for November 2025, we will move quickly into a Feasibility Study in early 2026. This will support the conversion of our mining licence application, expected in 2026, as we continue our active and constructive engagement with the Malagasy government and local stakeholders.
A particularly important milestone in this period has been the strong financial support we have secured from leading institutions in both the UK and the U.S., including Wexford Capital, Fondren LLP, and RAB Capital. As a result of these fundings, the Group is now financially secure to meet its near-term costs, giving us the confidence and stability to accelerate the Project on its path towards production.
In July 2025, the Company successfully completed a £1,231,500 institutional placing to advance the Project, receiving strong support from both new and existing investors and enabling progress on the Pre
Feasibility Study, environmental workstreams, and early-stage development activities.
Subsequently, in October 2025, the Company announced a further £450,000 strategic investment from
, via a convertible loan agreement where the shares cannot be issued until January 2026. Led by Philip Richards, one of

standing mining investors, RAB Capital has a distinguished track record of identifying value and supporting growth in the mining sector. This additional investment represents a strong endorsement of our strategy and provides further financial strength as we continue to advance our world-class ionic clay rare earth project toward production.
The Group occupies a truly unique position in the market. We are the only pure ionic clay rare earth company listed on the London Stock Exchange, offering one of the very few large-scale ionic clay deposits outside China. This positions us as a vital strategic partner in strengthening resilient, transparent, and geopolitically neutral supply chains for critical rare earth elements.
The U.S. Government has made clear its determination to secure critical mineral supply chains and reduce reliance on China for rare earth elements. The Group is exceptionally well placed to be part of this solution, with a development-ready, ex-China ionic clay deposit that can deliver the heavy rare earths essential for defence, energy, and technology applications. It is our stated strategy to increase our engagement with U.S. government agencies as we move towards production.
![]()
In line with this strategy, we are also advancing an OTC listing of our shares in the United States. This represents the first step in opening access to U.S. capital markets and enabling American investors to participate directly in the Group
![]()
Looking ahead, we expect 2026 to be another pivotal year. Completion of our Feasibility Study, the expected upgrade of our licence, and ongoing progress with our government and community partnerships will continue to de-risk and advance the Project. From 2027 onwards, we will transition towards project financing, construction, and ultimately, first concentrate shipments targeted for 2028.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, partners, and stakeholders for their continued support. With the financial backing now in place, a globally significant resource, and a motivated and experienced management team, the Group is exceptionally well positioned to deliver long-term value and to play a crucial role in securing the future of critical mineral supply chains.

Ivan James Bowen Murphy Executive Chairman
30 October 2025
The Directors present the Strategic Report of Harena Rare Earths PLC for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The Company was incorporated on 15 April 2020, as Citius Resources Limited. On 3 August 2020 the Company changed its name to Citius Resources PLC, a public company with limited liability under the laws of England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 with registered number 12557958.
The Company was formed to undertake an acquisition of a target company or business. On 26 October 2023 the Company announced that it has entered into a binding Head of Terms with regards to the possible acquisition of 100% of the shares in Harena Resources Pty Ltd
, the 75% (now 100%) owner of the Ampasindava Rare Earth Project in Madagascar.
On the 25 February 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Harena Resources Pty Ltd and re- listed on the London Stock Exchange as Harena Resources PLC, on 21 March 2025. On 27 October 2025 the Company changed its name to Harena Rare Earths PLC.

licence. The permit extraction licence is the final licence to be granted prior to commencing mining activities. Therefore, the Company is required to demonstrate its economic and environmental credentials through the P
PFS will examine
the economic feasibility of the Project and will be based on the geological data for the licence area which has had significant exploration and resource evaluation work completed. The EISA will finalise the environmental and social management plan of the Project which entails studies on the method of developing the mine and its impact on the local environment and local people.
This project is amongst a small number of ionic clay rare earths projects globally and these are characterised as being geologically favourable due to the nature of the mineralogy which entail lower operating costs and lower capital expenditure. Ionic clay deposits employ a different processing route in comparison to hard rock rare earth mines in operation that require conventional drill and blast operations from an open pit or underground, waste dumps and tailings facilities which entail high capital expenditures and operating costs.
Ionic clay projects are mined from the surface with minimal stripping of waste thus allowing easier backfilling and reclamation of the surface. The critical path towards development of the Project is to complete the PFS and EISA to demonstrate that commercial mining and processing of mixed rare earth carbonate product is feasible, environmentally compliant and economically viable.
Significant parts of the PFS have already been completed and the remaining studies include the development of the mining sequence and mining schedule, evaluation of construction and logistics, demonstration heap design, community engagement and other infrastructure upgrades. It is anticipated that the completed PFS will be submitted to BCMM within 12 months of the re-listing on the London Stock Exchange. In the longer term, the Group will be required to continue the development of the Project, which will require local infrastructure permitting, and project finance to build and commission the mine.
The Directors believe that the Project can become an important source of rare earth metals globally, offer an alternative supply source of rare earths outside of China and be capable of being developed with highly favourable environmental credentials. Many of the leading global economies are increasingly seeking to secure the supply of rare earths due to the importance of rare earth metals in new technological applications and the relative scarcity of supply outside China. The U.S. and EU are now prioritising the sourcing and secure supply of rare earths and investing heavily to secure their supply chain of these metals.
The results are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 35. The total comprehensive loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company for the year was £14,138,511 (for the year ended 30 June 2024: £1,964,391).
The Company declared and paid no distribution or dividends during the period (2024: £Nil).
Exploration expenditure funding and development costs
At this stage in development, the Group is focusing on the continued development of the Project. Therefore, the funding and development costs of the Project have been chosen as the Key Performance Indicators.
The Group incurred £151,637 (2024: £198,623) of capitalised expenditure costs in the year. These exploration costs are in line with the Board expectations.
In 2025, the Group raised capital of £10,598,872 net of issue costs (2024: £Nil) including £80,311 received in cash funds. This amount is used to pay for the continued development of the Project and other working capital costs.
The next step in the development of the Project will be the grant of the Mining Permit (PE). The Group is working with the Ministry of Mines in Madagascar to secure the permit. Once the PE has been secured the Group will move on to the further development of the Project and securing the financing required. At 30 June 2025 the Group had a cash balance of £28,425 (2024: £45,442).
Results for the period
With no income in the period, the Group continues to monitor the loss before tax to ensure the continued viability of the Group and ability to continue to develop the Project. The Group has made a loss before tax of £14,187,288 for the year ended 30 June 2025 (2024: loss before tax of £1,938,793).
The Group will commit to best practice social and environmental practice and will employ specialist environmental and social practitioners to manage this important element of development. The Group

investment in the Company. It should be noted that the list is not exhaustive and that other risk factors not presently known or currently considered immaterial may apply.
Rare Earth prices
The price of rare earth elements has historically been subject to fluctuations and risks due to various factors. One significant downside risk is the fluctuation of supply and demand dynamics. If the demand for high-tech products and applications that rely on rare earth elements decreases, it can lead to an oversupply and subsequently lower prices. Additionally, advancements in technology and alternative material development may reduce the reliance on rare earth minerals, further impacting their value. Extended periods of price downsides can render the operation uneconomic and have a material adverse effect on the Group. Currently, many international users of rare earth materials are investing to secure supplies outside of the market dominant Chinese sector and this has mitigated this risk.
Exploration and development risks
Although mineralisation has been discovered and a Resource has been defined, it may take several years of development until production is possible during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. The economics of developing mineral properties are affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in the price of heavy minerals, fluctuations in exchange rates, costs of development, infrastructure and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to permits, licences, royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental regulations. In addition, the grade of mineralisation ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material.
The Group will continue to rely upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to develop mineral processes to extract the product from the resource and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that the minerals discovered are of sufficient quantities and/or quality to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The economics of developing mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of the resource mined, fluctuations in mineral markets, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that mineral exploration and development of the
properties will result in profitable commercial operations.

these risks.
Financing risks
The Group is likely to remain cash flow negative for some time and, although the Directors have confidence in the future revenue earning potential of the Group from its Ampasindava Project, there can be no certainty that the Group will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from its operating activities.
With regards to future capital expenditure on the Ampasindava Project, the Company will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to advance the feasibility and development work streams. Future mineral prices, revenues, taxes, capital expenditures, operating expenses and geological success will all be factors which will have an impact on the amount of additional capital required. In common with many exploration and development entities, the Group will need to raise further funds in order to progress from the feasibility phase to eventually being put into production and revenue generation.
Operating risks
The activities of the Group will be subject to usual hazards and operating risks normally associated with developing natural resource projects. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labour disputes, encountering geological or grade problems, unanticipated changes in metallurgical characteristics and mineral recovery, encountering unanticipated ground or water conditions, cave-ins, pit wall failures, flooding, periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and other acts of God or unfavourable operating

development or mining activities, it may cause the cost of production to increase to a point where it would no longer be economically viable to extract
. Such events may also require the Group to write-down the carrying value of one or more mineral projects, cause delays or a stoppage of mining and processing, result in the destruction of mineral properties or processing facilities, cause death or personal injury and related legal liability; any and all of which may have a material adverse effect on the Group.
It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks as a result of high premiums or denial of insurance service under various conditions. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability, result in increasing costs or the loss of assets and a decline in the value of the

operating assets such as the Project. Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources
Even though a Mineral Resource has been determined at the Project, estimates in respect of that resource are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice by that independent expert. Estimates which were valid when originally made may change significantly when further information becomes available. Such resource estimates are by nature imprecise, depending on interpretations which may, with further exploration, prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, should the Group encounter ore bodies or formations which differ from those suggested by past sampling and analysis, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and any production plans altered accordingly which may adversely impact the ![]()

revenues and cash flows will be impacted by changes in the prices and available market of this commodity. Any substantial decline in the price of rare earths or in processing, transport, or distribution costs may have a material adverse effect on the Group.
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Group. These factors include current and expected future supply and demand, forward selling by producers, production cost levels in major mineral producing centres as well as macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and interest rates.
Furthermore, the international prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars while the
cost base will be in Pounds Sterling and Malagasy Ariary. Consequently, changes in the Pound Sterling and Malagasy Ariary exchange rates will impact on the earnings of the Group. The exchange rates are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Group, including international markets, interest rates, inflation and the general economic outlook.

political stability and governmental regulations. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in Madagascar or any other countries in which the Group may operate are beyond the control of the Group and may adversely affect its operations.
The Directors are aware that during the development stage of the Project, no operating revenue will be received and will need to rely on new investor support. The Directors are confident in Harena Rare Earths PLC ability to raise significant capital, as it has done in the past.
The Group engages specialist consultants to ensure that risks associated with government and regulatory bodies are managed effectively.
Legal systems
The Project operations will be governed by the laws of Madagascar and the PE application will be considered in accordance with the laws of Madagascar. If the PE is granted it may be subject to conditions. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in forfeiture of the future mining permits. Furthermore, any additional future mining permits applied for and held by the Group may be subject to periodic renewal. The Licence Conversion of PR 6698 has not been completed. PR 6698 expired on 6 November 2021, however, as holder of PR 6698 it was entitled to submit an application for the conversion to a PE. Part of the conversion process will require the Enlarged Group to finalise a feasibility study and an approved environmental impact and social assessment. Whist there is no reason to believe that such conversion and any renewals will not be granted, the Company cannot guarantee this outcome. New conditions may also be imposed on future mining permits held by the Group under the renewal process which may adversely affect the Group.
The Group engages specialist legal consultants to ensure that risks associated with legal changes are managed.
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures was convened by the Financial Stability Board to produce a common global framework for companies to report on how climate change will affect their business.
To help investors and wider stakeholders understand how companies are managing climate related financial risks, the TCFD recommends that companies make disclosures across four key areas, often referred to as the four pillars.
The directors support the initiatives of the TCFD, and have prepared disclosures to a level of detail that the directors consider to be consistent with the TCFD recommended disclosures, and as appropriate to the current position of the Group. The Board currently considers the immediate permit PR6698 boundaries, and any works within that Permit, as being within the scope for reportable sustainability data. During the period the Group has not actively accessed or conducted meaningful activities on the permit as all work has been conducted off-site by professional technical experts assessing the data captured prior to the Company acquiring the Project. The Company will use operational control of the Project as the baseline for reporting sustainability data.
At this time the Group operates no corporate offices either for the management team, or in Madagascar, and has no operational production activity. As such management have assessed that no significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are currently produced.
The directors consider that several of the specific disclosures sought under TCFD recommendations

The Company views climate related risks and opportunities as growing in importance. The Board is ultimately responsible for the oversight and compliance with local environmental laws at its exploration location in Madagascar, together with assessment of the impact of climate change on risk to the organisation. In advance of commissioning the project operations, the Group intends to establish a Sustainability Committee, comprising the Chairman, the Executive Director and a Non-Executive Director, that will g

Management of the group, who are involved with the ongoing definitive feasibility study (DFS) are responsible for assessing and managing climate related risks and opportunities through the current study process. The DFS will incorporate these factors into assessments related to the ESIA (environmental and social impact assessment) and ESG (environmental, social and governance) components of the study.

activities is performed by management on an ad-hoc basis. Management have not assessed there to be any significant climate-related risks that impact on the current development activity in Madagascar. The Group is currently completing the pre-feasibility study, which will include ESIA and ESG assessments that will assist management to detail the climate related risks and opportunities relating to development of the project. Identification and mitigation of these risks will be addressed by the planned Sustainability Committee described in the Governance section of this statement.
As the project progresses through the feasibility process, the risk management framework is somewhat fluid and will be analysed, adapted and expanded as the various study components of the feasibility

This approach and the short residence time within the land based operational disturbance zone will also present opportunities for climate risk mitigation not usually associated with mining development projects. These will also enable significant agri-based social and commercial opportunities which will contribute to reducing the operational carbon footprint.
In addition, significant fresh water is expected to be a by-product of the operational model of the mine with sea water being desalinised as part of the process.

The Company will define the metrics and performance targets to assess the climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management processes once the Project has been commissioned. Initially some of these will be outlined as part of the ESIA and ESG assessments that will be completed as part of the DFS development.
The current exploration and feasibility of the Group have a minimal physical presence; Greenhouse Gas emissions are not currently recorded. However as part of the ESIA and ESG study works, the Group intends to develop the systems and reporting standards to track these in preparation for development of the project.
The project reporting and management systems to provide reporting on Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) will be developed following completion of a DFS. The development of the operations and processing routes remain to be finalised, as the feasibility study is prepared. As the studies are not yet complete and the processes still in evaluation the reporting metrics for the project will be developed by the ESG team in due time.

, either a full scope or a specified audit approach was determined based on their relative materiality to the group and our assessment of the audit risk. For components requiring a full scope approach, we evaluated controls by performing walkthroughs over the financial reporting systems identified as part of our risk assessment, reviewed the accounts production process and addressed critical accounting matters. We then undertook substantive testing on significant transactions and material account baIances.
In order to address the audit risks identified during our planning procedures, we performed a full scope audit of the financial statements of Harena Rare Earths PLC. The audit of the Harena Resources Pty Ltd sub-group was performed by Moore Australia in Australia under the supervision and direction of the group audit engagement team, as described in more detail below.

Harena Resources Plc (continued)
Our involvement with the component auditors
As part of our supervision and direction of the component audit team, we determined the level of involvement needed in order to be able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence has been obtained in respect of the Harena Resources Pty Ltd sub-group as a basis for our opinion on the group financial statements as a whole. Our involvement with the component auditors included the following:
We issued detailed group reporting instructions to the component auditor, which included the significant areas to be covered by the audit (including areas that were considered to be key audit matters as detailed below) and set out the information required to be reported to the group audit team;
We performed a remote review of the component audit files using appropriate technologies and held regular calls and video conferences with component management and the component audit team during the audit; and
The group audit team performed reviews of relevant working papers and undertook additional procedures where necessary in respect of the significant risk areas that represented Key Audit Matters for the group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matters | How our scope addressed this matter |
Going Concern (Group and Company) The Group has made a loss for the year of £14,138,511 (2024: loss of £1,964,391). However, this was primarily due to the listing costs of £10,321,369 incurred during the year as a result of the reverse takeover. The group had a cash outflow of £65,794 (2024: outflow of £770,942) with a cash balance of £28,425 at the year end. | Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following procedures:

The audit report for the previous year included a qualified opinion, as the predecessor auditor was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to support the going concern assumption. This was due to uncertainty surrounding the completion of the proposed reverse takeover at that time. Since then, the reverse takeover has been successfully completed, and the group has raised additional gross proceeds of £1,681,500 post year end. |

Accounting treatment of the Reverse Takeover transaction Refer to note 4 on page 46 for the key judgements taken by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Harena Resources Pty Ltd was acquired by Citius Resources PLC through a reverse takeover. Given the significance of the transaction (qualitative and quantitative) and judgements applied, the accounting treatment for the Reverse Takeover transaction was considered a significant risk and key audit matter. | Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following procedures:
transaction complies with the criteria set out in IFRS 3; and
Key Observations: Based on our audit work, we concluded that management has correctly accounted for the Reverse Takeover transaction. We consider the disclosures in the financial statements relating to this area to be adequate. |
Valuation of Fee Warrants and Share Options Refer to note 3 on page 44 for the relevant accounting policies and note 4 on page 46 for the key judgements taken by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. As at the reporting date, the group incurred a share option expense at £293,910 and warrants charge expense of £22,203. Given the significance of the management estimates and judgements applied, the accounting treatment and valuation of the share options and warrants was considered to be a significant risk and key audit matter. | Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following procedures:
|
We reperformed the Black Scholes valuations and agreed the share options and warrants to the relevant agreements; and
Key Observations: Based on our audit work, we concluded that management has correctly accounted for the share options and warrants. We consider the disclosures in the financial statements relating to this area to be adequate. | |
Valuation of Exploration and Evaluation Assets The Group currently holds an exploration licence at the Ampasindava Project in Madagascar which, with exploration and evaluation and development assets at the reporting date had a carrying value of £1,875,768 (2024: £1,905,744). The carrying amount of these assets is judgemental and subject to Refer to note 3 on page 44 for the relevant accounting policies and note 4 on page 46 for the key judgements taken by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Given the significance of the management estimates and judgements applied, the accounting treatment of the exploration and evaluation assets (especially the recoverability thereof) was considered to be a significant risk and key audit matter. | Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following procedures:
Key Observations: Based on our audit work, we concluded that management has correctly accounted for the exploration and evaluation assets. We consider the disclosures in the financial statements relating to this area to be adequate. |
Our application of materiality
The scope and focus of our audit engagement was influenced by our assessment and application of materiality. We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement that could reasonably be expected to influence the readers and the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We use materiality to determine the scope of our audit engagement and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and on the financial statements as a whole.
Due to the nature of the Group, we considered total assets to be the main focus for the users of the financial statements, and accordingly this consideration influenced our judgement of materiality. Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the Group to be £103,000 based on a percentage of total assets (1%). Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the Company to be £92,700 based on a percentage of total assets (1%).
On the basis of our risk assessment, together with our assessment of the overall control environment, our judgement was that performance materiality (i.e. our tolerance for misstatement in an individual
account or balance) for the Group and Company was 50% of materiality, which is £51,500 and £46,350 respectively.
We agreed to report to the Audit Committee all audit differences in respect of the Group and Company in excess of £5,150 and £4,635 respectively and, as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also agreed to report to the Audit Committee on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We also analysed the cash flow forecasts in detail, performing sensitivity analyses where appropriate, and assessed the certainty and timing of any anticipated future fundraising. In addition, we reviewed minutes from meetings of shareholders, the board, and relevant committees for indications of financial challenges.
To further inform our assessment, we performed audit procedures on subsequent events to identify any developments that could either support or undermine the going concern assumption. Finally, we reviewed the related disclosures in the financial statements to ensure they were adequate and considered whether any amendments to our audit report were necessary.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the
company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial

contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.
Our approach was as follows:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, UK adopted
international financial reporting standards, the Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, and UK taxation legislation.
We obtained an understanding of how the company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Other matters which we are required to address
We were appointed by the Board of Directors on 4 August 2025 to audit the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is one year, covering the year ended 30 June 2025.

On 21 March 2025, the Company announced the successful completion of its acquisition of 100% of the share capital in Harena Resources Pty Ltd. Following the acquisition, the Company changed its name from Citius Resources PLC to Harena Resources Plc and was re-listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange. On 27 October 2025, the Company changed its name to Harena Rare Earths PLC.

Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Company and
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The Company and
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and the Companies Act 2006 and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except where noted.
The Company comparatives are not entirely comparable and reflect the period from 1 May 2023 to 30 April 2024 whilst the current period figures represent the period from 1 May 2024 to 30 June 2025. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2025 includes the results of Harena Rare Earths PLC for the period 21 March 2025 to 30 June 2025. The change in period length was to align the accounting period with the newly acquired subsidiaries.

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as detailed in note 16.
Subsidiaries:
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over an investee, including:
the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
the Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the Group Financial Statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, profits and losses and unrealised profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full.
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. New standards and amendments to UK-adopted International Accounting Standards effective as for the financial reporting period have been reviewed by the Group and there has been no material impact on the financial statements as a result of these standards and amendments. The Group has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Accounting Policies (continued)
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued) New Accounting Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted.
The only amendment amended by the UK Endorsement Board or the IASB which is relevant to the Group and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 May 2024:

The Company is assessing the effect of these new and amended standards and interpretations, which are in issue but not yet mandatorily effective, but their impact is currently not expected to be material.
Going concern
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period to 31 December 2026 which shows that the Group and the Company have sufficient funds to meet their liabilities as they fall due. To the extent that the Group decides to incur expenditure that is not in the cash flow forecast, this expenditure will only be incurred after the Group has raised additional capital through the issue of shares on the stock market. The Group has successfully raised capital since the end of the reporting year ended 30 June 2025 and details can be found in the subsequent events note 25.
The Directors are aware that during the development stage of the Project, no operating revenue will be received and will need to rely on new investor support. The Directors are confident in Harena Rare Earths PLC ability to raise significant capital, as it has done in the past.
The
operations, including:
expected expenditure for corporate administration, financial reporting and LSE listing fees;
planned feasibility and development activities in Madagascar; and
known liabilities and contractual obligations
primarily loan note interest payments and the repayment of the principal by the due date of 27 February 2027.
After considering the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate and, thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
Material accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:
Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss and presented within finance costs.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI):
an investment in equity securities designated as at FVOCI (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss);
a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and
qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into £ at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into £ at the average exchange rates for the period.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
Intangible assets
Exploration and evaluation assets
The Group recognises expenditure as exploration and evaluation assets when it determines that those assets will be successful in locating or identifying specific mineral resources. Expenditure included in the initial measurement of exploration and evaluation assets and which are classified as intangible assets relate to the acquisition of rights to explore, exploratory drilling, sampling and activities to evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource. Capitalisation of pre-production expenditure ceases when the mining property is capable of commercial production.

Whenever the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in cash generating units does not lead to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Group has decided to discontinue such activities of that unit, the associated expenditure is written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Earnings per share
ordinary
shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax
Current tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Deferred income tax
Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the related asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. The investment in subsidiary balance includes any exploration costs paid on behalf of the subsidiary.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at a call with financial institutions.
Financial instruments

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows

is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
Classification and measurement are based on both whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest; and whether the debt instrument is held to collect those cash flows. In the case of the Group, all financial assets meet this criteria and measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment.
Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
The
financial assets consist of other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand. The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses, defined as the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that are expected to be received.
Financial liabilities and equity
Liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other liabilities, as appropriate. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loan note liability and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Dividend distribution to the
shareholders is recognised as a liability in the
financial statements in the year in which the dividends are approved.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share awards are recognised as an expense based on their fair value at date of grant. The fair value of equity-settled share options and warrants are estimated through the use of the Black-Scholes pricing model
which require inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends, expected volatility and the expected option life
and is expensed over the vesting period. Please see note 22 for further information regarding share based assumptions.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing the Company and Group financial statements, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, may not accurately reflect the related actual outcome. There are no key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
4.1 Reverse acquisition
In preparing the financial statements, management has made significant judgments and estimates in applying IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to accounts for the reverse takeover transaction.
Judgment: Identification of the Accounting Acquirer
Management assessed the substance of the transaction and determined that, although Harena Rare Earths PLC is the legal parent, Harena Resources Pty Ltd is the accounting acquirer under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This judgment was based on factors such as:
The relative size of the entities;
The composition of the board and senior management post-transaction; and
Control over decision-making and operations.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Reverse acquisition (continued)
Judgment: Scope of IFRS 2 Application
The transaction was deemed to fall within the scope of IFRS 2, as the accounting acquirer issued equity instruments to obtain control of a listed entity that does not constitute a business under IFRS 3. Accordingly, the transaction is treated as a share-based payment.
Estimate: Fair Value of Consideration Transferred
Management estimated the fair value of the equity instruments deemed to be issued by the accounting acquirer. This involved:
; and
Estimating the number of shares effectively issued.
Estimate: Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired
The fair value of the net assets of the legal parent was assessed at the acquisition date. This required:
Valuation of identifiable assets and liabilities; and
Consideration of any contingent liabilities or off-balance sheet items.
Going concern
In their assessment of going concern, the Directors have reviewed the
ongoing activities including its future intentions in respect of capital fund raising and the risks involved in the development of the Project. The Directors were required to make estimated and judgements over future cash flows and funding. For further

Recoverability of the loans to subsidiaries
The Group has assessed the likelihood of the loan advanced by Harena Rare Earths Plc to its subsidiary, Harena Resources Pty Ltd, will not be repaid. The loan is unsecured and required to be repaid by 30 March 2030.
![]()
it will be brought into production and generate positive cashflows within the timescale of repayment of the loan over time by 2030.
Impairment of non-current assets
exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have a carrying value as at 30 June 2025 of £1,875,768 (2024:£1,905,744). The Directors have assessed the asset for impairment and consider that as the Project is in its exploration stage and there have been no changes in the legal and environmental conditions, an impairment is not required at 30 June 2025.
Share-based payments
During the year the Company issued warrants and share options. The valuation of these involved making a number of critical estimates relating to the price volatility, expected life of the warrants and options, and interest rates. These assumptions are described in more detail in note 22.
The expense charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year in relation to warrants was
£22,053 (2024: £Nil) and options was £294,060 (2024: £Nil).

Reverse acquisition
On 21 March 2025 the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Harena Resources Pty Ltd, a private company incorporated in Australia, by the way of share for share exchange. Harena Resources Pty Ltd is the shareholder of three further companies (see note 16).
Although the transaction resulted in Harena Resources Pty Ltd becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the transaction constitutes a reverse acquisition as the previous shareholders of Harena Resources Pty Ltd own a substantial majority of the ordinary shares of the Company.
In substance, the shareholders of Harena Resources Pty Ltd acquired a controlling interest in the Company and the transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting principles, these consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the statements of Harena Resources Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries and include:
The assets and liabilities of Harena Resources Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries at their pre-acquisition carrying amounts and the results for both years; and
The assets and liabilities of the Company as at 30 June 2025
21 March 2025 to 30 June 2025.
Reverse acquisition (continued)
Because the legal subsidiary, Harena Resources Pty Ltd, was treated as the accounting acquirer and the legal Parent Company, Harena Rare Earths PLC, was treated as the accounting acquiree. The fair value of the shares issued by Harena Rare Earth PLC was calculated at £10,000,000 being the purchase consideration for a 100% holding in Harena Rare Earths PLC.
The fair value of net liabilities of Harena Rare Earths PLC was £321,369.

The consideration and the fair value of the net liabilities acquired therefore amounts to £10,321,369 and has been expensed in accordance with IFRS 2 as a share based payment to profit or loss.
Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital reserve.

Elimination of pre-acquisition reserves of Harena Rare Earths PLC as at 21 March 2025.
Harena Resources Pty Ltd had issued share capital of £591,849 as at 21 March 2025
This represents the settlement of subsidiary loan notes at the date of the transaction and thus elimination of the pre-acquisition reserve.
The Company issued 333,333,333 shares, valued at £10,000,000 for the entire issued capital of Harena Resources Pty Ltd.
