Equity funding and exploration programs
The Group completed exploration across its assets and completed placements and option exercises during the year.
Krakatoa Resources’ FY2021-FY2025 record is that of an exploration-stage Group funded principally through equity. Statutory losses reflect exploration and corporate costs, while the cash-flow statement shows changing program outlays, explicit nil investing years and equity financing rather than operating revenue.
Reading the figures: Units are stated above each table or beside the metric. Brackets denote negative amounts. Supported nil is shown as zero; unlike reporting bases remain separately labelled.

The Group’s principal activity is acquiring and exploring resource-based projects. Its policy expenses exploration and evaluation expenditure, including tenement-acquisition costs, as incurred; cash spending and profit-or-loss expense should therefore be read separately from project value.
All figures are Australian dollars and tables use Group consolidated measures. FY2025 adds Australia and Georgia geographic segments while retaining one operating segment, mineral exploration and development.
The Group completed exploration across its assets and completed placements and option exercises during the year.
A$5.0m was raised before costs through an April 2022 share issue while Mt Clere air-core drilling and resource work continued.
The Group raised A$0.560m before costs through an April 2023 share issue; closing cash fell to A$0.952m.
A December 2023 placement included A$0.600m of non-cash Top Drill exploration-service credits, so the placement amount is not wholly cash funding.
The Group commenced Stone Tank drilling and advanced access for Zopkhito drilling after executing the Zopkhito option agreement.
FY2025’s A$2.522m statutory loss was smaller than FY2024’s A$3.206m loss. It includes A$0.309m of share-based payment expense for Zopkhito project payments and employee/director performance rights; that is an accounting expense, not cash operating expenditure.
Expensed exploration and project evaluation was the principal selected cost line in FY2021-FY2024, while the large FY2021 and FY2022 share-based charges were non-cash. FY2025 exploration cash payments are not used as a P&L replacement.

Operating cash outflows included separately identified exploration and evaluation payments under the issuer’s operating classification. The FY2023 drawdown followed lower financing inflow alongside program cash use; later equity funding supported a recovery in closing cash through FY2025.
Investing cash was nil in FY2021 and FY2024, negative for plant and equipment in FY2022-FY2023, and A$0.350m negative in FY2025 for a security bond. It is distinct from exploration spending.

FY2021 and FY2024 investing totals are explicit issuer-reported nil. FY2025 investing cash is the security-bond payment; the plant-and-equipment cash-payment line was nil.

Closing cash rose to A$1.545m in FY2025 from A$1.314m in FY2024; Group net assets were A$1.961m and liabilities A$0.356m. The FY2025 assets cell is a transparent calculation from those Group values.
The Group identifies equity raisings as its primary funding source and reports no external borrowings at 30 June 2025, although lease liabilities remain separate. WA exploration commitments were A$0.621m, with ability to reduce tenure and commitments.

Stone Tank drilling and the Zopkhito option give context for exploration cash use, but do not establish production, reserve value, project economics or a forecast.
Energold is disclosed as a Georgian exploration-works contractor; the FY2025 geographic disclosure therefore broadens project context without creating an operating-revenue conclusion.
