Bankan maiden Resource followed year-end
The maiden 3.65Moz Bankan Mineral Resource was announced on 30 September 2021, after the 30 June balance date; two FY2021 placements raised A$37.1m before costs.
A five-year view of an exploration and development company: statutory losses, cash use, equity funding and Bankan project estimates. Financial statements are in Australian dollars (A$); Bankan study economics are in US dollars and are prospective project estimates.
Reading the tables: 0 (nil) is a supported zero. Other text distinguishes an amount included in another line, a non-applicable item, a separately unavailable component and an unresolved value. These are not interchangeable. Period-specific detail is labelled; complete year-by-year detail remains available.
Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2025; other financial assets are separate.
Consolidated balance-sheet carrying amount.
Includes share issue costs and lease payments.
Estimated pre-production capital, not incurred capital expenditure.
Predictive Discovery advanced Bankan in Guinea from a maiden Mineral Resource announced after the FY2021 balance date to a June 2025 Definitive Feasibility Study. The company remained in exploration and development through this review window; its income statement reports losses and finance income, without a gold-sales revenue line. The financial statements use Australian dollars.
Equity issues funded exploration and project development. Cash-flow presentation changed in FY2024: exploration payments appear in operating activities through FY2023 and in investing activities in FY2024-FY2025. The operating-cash-flow series should be read with that classification break in mind.
The maiden 3.65Moz Bankan Mineral Resource was announced on 30 September 2021, after the 30 June balance date; two FY2021 placements raised A$37.1m before costs.
An institutional placement was completed in May 2022; the later August 2022 Bankan Resource update is shown by its own date in the project table.
The June 2023 equity raise supported regional exploration. An August 2023 Resource estimate followed the financial year-end.
The April 2024 PFS outlined a proposed 12-year operation and maiden approximately 3.05Moz Probable Ore Reserve; the project figures are study estimates.
Guinea approved the ESIA and issued an Environmental Compliance Certificate in January 2025. The June DFS estimated US$463m pre-production capital and 2.95Moz Ore Reserves.
The group reported a statutory loss in each year. The FY2023 original-year continuing-operations figure is shown on its own reporting basis; the FY2024 report subsequently presented an FY2023 discontinued-operation comparative. These bases should not be silently joined.
Exploration before obtaining tenure was expensed, while qualifying exploration and evaluation costs were capitalised on the balance sheet. Share-based payments and Guinea indirect taxes also affected the reported result.

FY2021 doubtful-debt provision and FY2022 impairment of receivables/FY2023-onward VAT expense have changing issuer labels; their original line positions are preserved.
FY2023 original statement included A$285,406 cost to dispose of subsidiaries above its continuing-operation loss. The FY2024 report subsequently moved that amount into discontinued operations in its FY2023 comparative.
The A$683 gain on acquisition of an exploration asset is a FY2021 transaction (R000385); its later coordinates are not applicable to that event. FY2023 subsidiary-disposal cost is retained on its original-year basis and is not repeated in FY2024–FY2025.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure grew as Bankan work advanced. Term deposits held for more than 90 days are reported separately from cash and cash equivalents in FY2024 and FY2025.
The group reported no balance-date borrowings in each annual description. The FY2024 balance sheet separately presented an A$1.5m advance from an FX provider, settled shortly after year-end. Issued capital in the consolidated balance sheet and the gross share-capital movement schedule use different cost presentations.

The Resource snapshots are dated milestones, not five balance-sheet figures. The FY2025 total includes the Argo area, so its boundary differs from the earlier NE Bankan and Bankan Creek totals. Resource and Reserve estimates are distinct classifications and should not be added together.
The PFS Extension Case and DFS base case use different gold-price assumptions for their post-tax NPV and IRR figures: US$1,800/oz and US$2,400/oz respectively. The PFS Extension production profile includes 12.8% Inferred Mineral Resources and the DFS profile includes 9.4%; neither equals the Ore Reserve boundary. The figures are issuer project-study scenarios rather than historical revenue, realised margin or a valuation of the company.
The FY2025 report records a May 2025 Guinea permit-revocation notice concerning Argo and Bokoro; directors considered the exploration expenditure recoverable and said they intended to appeal. An October 2025 merger announcement with Robex was subsequent to the June balance date. These are dated issuer positions, not later status updates.

PFS Extension Case post-tax NPV and IRR use US$1,800/oz gold; DFS base case uses US$2,400/oz. They are not a like-for-like improvement series.
The PFS Extension Case production profile includes 12.8% Inferred Mineral Resources; the DFS profile includes 9.4% Inferred. Neither profile is identical to the Ore Reserve totals.
AISC and C1 are prospective non-IFRS life-of-mine estimates. Pre-production capital is an estimate, not historical capital spent.
DFS production-profile tonnage includes an Inferred Resource component and is distinct from Ore Reserves.
The DFS mine life is stated as 12 years 2 months (R004678); the exact issuer wording is retained rather than converted to a rounded decimal year.
