IGO transaction and special dividend
The non-refundable tenement fee was received, alongside equity funding. BOA paid an 8-cent special dividend; this is not a recurring mine-operating pattern.
BOA’s financial history is shaped by the IGO tenement transaction, equity funding and an evolving exploration portfolio. Cash briefly recovered in FY2024 before falling again in FY2025, while exploration write-offs reduced earnings and the asset carrying value. The five-year tables distinguish cash movements from non-cash accounting charges.
Reading the figures: Values are shown in A$ million to three decimals unless stated. Brackets denote negative amounts; 0 (nil) is a supported zero. FY2025 cash is sourced at its exact A$823,616 balance before display rounding.

The FY2021 profit should not be treated as evidence of a producing mine. A large non-refundable tenement option fee changed earnings and cash, and was accompanied by equity funding and a special dividend.
Subsequent years focused on exploration and portfolio changes. Capitalised exploration grew through FY2024, before the FY2025 write-off reduced its carrying value. This accounting asset is neither cash nor a mineral-resource estimate.

The company advanced its lithium and other exploration portfolio while IGO continued its Fraser Range work. No capital raising was completed during the financial year.
Two Tanks and Cat Camp were added to the portfolio. A June rights-issue announcement led to completion in July, after the FY2023 balance date.
The rights issue completed and the Queensland tenement sale became effective. BOA retained a carried interest; a disposal transaction is not production revenue.
Boadicea became BOA Resources in December 2024. The year included exploration write-offs and continued approvals work, with future funding still needed.
The cash record and exploration asset record move differently. Capital spent and capital written off should be assessed separately; a year-end asset balance does not indicate how much funding remains.

Cash uses exact statement balances; amounts are rounded only for this A$ million display. FY2025 cash is A$823,616.
Capitalised exploration is a carrying value subject to recoverability assessment, not a mineral resource valuation.
FY2025 total assets less total liabilities reconciles to reported equity. Selected FY2025 balances were supplemented from the verified original-PDF table interpretation.

The tenement fee distinguishes FY2021 from subsequent losses. The FY2025 loss widened alongside a larger exploration write-off; that non-cash charge should not be confused with cash exploration spending.

FY2021 also includes a separately reported A$5.500m tenement option fee; it is not contained in the other-income row or treated as mine sales.
Other income is not total revenue. Write-offs are accounting charges, not cash outflows in the year.
FY2025 statutory loss of A$1,779,303 is reported directly in the income statement, not calculated from rounded earnings per share.

The FY2021 investing inflow came from the tenement fee. Financing cash is net of a special dividend, issue costs and borrowing repayments, so it is much smaller than gross share proceeds. The later rights issue belongs in FY2024 cash flows.
In FY2025, operating and investing activities used cash without a financing inflow. This explains the lower closing cash balance; the exploration write-off is not an additional cash outflow.

FY2021 investing cash includes the A$5.500m tenement option receipt, net of exploration payments. Positive investing cash is not negative capital expenditure.
The rights issue announced in June 2023 completed in July 2023, in FY2024. Its proceeds are not shifted back to FY2023.
FY2025 operating and investing outflows reconcile the decline in cash from A$1,934,722 to A$823,616. Financing was nil: the source prints a dash, supported by the financing components and cash reconciliation.

The exploration write-off exceeded capitalised additions, reducing the year-end carrying value. It is an accounting reduction, not a cash bill of the same amount.
The issuer and auditor described dependence on a FY2026 capital raising to maintain a positive cash balance. Reported absence of debt does not mean absence of payables or future commitments.

Working capital is a balance-date measure, not all cash available for future exploration. Commitments are not recognised balance-sheet liabilities and may be renegotiated or avoided through sale, farm-out or relinquishment.
The stored FY2025 note reports prior-year working capital A$1,893,372; the FY2024 extraction reports A$1,893,374. This A$2 difference is retained in the audit log and does not change FY2025.
