Beowulf Mining plc
("Beowulf" or the "Company")
Unaudited Financial Results for the Period Ended 30 June 2025
Beowulf Mining (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, announces its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Period”).
Activities in the Period
Corporate
• During the Period, the Company completed a capital raise, raising a total of SEK 28.1 million (approximately £2.2 million) by way of a conditional placing and subscription of new ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares"), a rights issue of Swedish Depository Receipts in Sweden, and a retail offer in the UK via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform. The use of proceeds from the capital raise will fund the Company's operations through to the first quarter of 2026.
• In order to complete the capital raise, a General Meeting was held to provide the Board of Directors with the requisite authorisation and flexibility to increase the Company's share capital, where all resolutions tabled were passed.

Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:
“The highlight of the Period was the completion of the GAMP PFS which demonstrated a robust technical project with exceptional economics, positioning Grafintec to be a low-cost, high-margin producer with great value potential. Following the end of the Period, we secured an excellent location for the development of the plant and have begun investigations for the pilot testing and EIA. The identification and reservation of a site for GAMP within a new emerging battery hub marks a key milestone in its development and will serve to help further establish Grafintec’s presence in the European and global battery value chains.
“Completing the capital raise during the Period allows us to continue to progress our assets, including Kallak. We have made great strides in, and continue to focus on, cultivating positive local stakeholder engagement. The development of a slurry pipeline is an innovative, reliable, low-impact transport solution that we believe significantly mitigates a number of the main concerns of local stakeholders about the project. Importantly, our initial analysis also suggests that given its very low operating costs, it is also value accretive to the project.
“As a company, we will continue to investigate multiple sources of additional capital to advance our core assets. These include, but are not limited to, institutional and strategic investors, and governmental support from Business Finland and EU entities which offer a range of grants, equity, loans and tax credits. We look forward to providing further updates to the market over the coming months.”

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, as at 30 June 2025, was 73.65% 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 test-work 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 39Mt 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 completed a Pre-Feasibility Study on the downstream processing plant demonstrating the technical and financial viability of the 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, and presents opportunities to grow, with near-term and longer-term value-inflection points.
Beowulf strives 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 FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2025
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.
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 2024 except as noted below.
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 June 2025 is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the auditors.
The financial information for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 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 2024 was unqualified and included 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.
On 21 March 2025, in conjunction with the Company’s right issue, the Company entered into a short-term bridging loan of SEK 10 million (approx. £0.74 million) with the underwriters of the rights issue to ensure that the Company has sufficient financial resources to continue advancing its projects ahead of the right issue being finalised (see note 8). The bridging loan accrued interest of 1.5% per 30-day period and was repayable on 30 June 2025. The bridging loan principal and interest totalling £0.95 million was repaid early in May 2025 using part of the proceeds from the capital raise on the right issue.
On 8 May 2025, the Company announced the completion of the capital raise with a total of £2.2 million (SEK 28.1 million) gross raised to fund the development of the Company’s assets through their next key valuation milestones. The net funds raised after the loan repayment and share issue transaction costs are £1.8 million (see note 9).
At the date of this report, based on management prepared cashflow forecasts, further funding will be required within the next 12 months to allow the Group and Company to continue to progress its key projects, realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. There are currently no agreements in place and there is no certainty that the funds will be raised 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 going concern. The Directors will continue to explore funding opportunities at both asset and corporate levels. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that funding will be forthcoming based on their past experience and therefore believe that the going concern basis of preparation is deemed appropriate and as such the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group and the Company were unable to continue as going concern.
