Beowulf Mining plc

("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Unaudited Financial Results for the Period Ended 31 March 2026

Beowulf Mining (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the European mineral exploration
and development company, announces its unaudited financial results for the
three months ended 31 March 2026 (the "Period").

 

Activities in the Period

 

Sweden

·      During the Period, through its wholly owned Swedish subsidiary
Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB ("Jokkmokk Iron"), the Company continued to progress
technical and environmental workstreams for the Kallak Iron Ore Project
("Kallak").

·      Jokkmokk Iron published a Sustainability Strategy setting out the
company's vision, principles and approach to managing specific environmental
and social impacts relating to the Kallak project. The document is available
in English and Swedish on the Jokkmokk Iron website: Jokkmokk Iron
Sustainability Strategy (https://jokkmokkiron.se/hallbarhet) .

·      Technical activity focused on mining fleet optimisation with
ongoing studies completed in collaboration with two market-leading Nordic
truck manufacturers for Kallak. Each offer battery electric, autonomous mining
solutions and have demonstrated the ability to meet Jokkmokk Iron's criteria.

·      The Company announced during the Period that a consortium led by
Jokkmokk Iron had been conditionally awarded funding of €1.1 million from
the European Institute of Innovation and Technology ("EIT") as part of the
€2.4 million NordicPipe project ("NordicPipe"). The NordicPipe project's
objective is to advance technical and environmental knowledge, that will
enable the development and roll-out of slurry pipelines as a sustainable
transportation solution in the Nordic region. Following the end of the Period,
as announced on 27 April 2026, the consortium decided to withdraw from the EIT
funding programme and advance the NordicPipe project independently. The
consortium concluded that the project's key objectives can be achieved more
efficiently, with greater flexibility, and with a lower overall cost and
administrative burden independently from the EIT programme.

 

Finland

·      Beowulf's wholly owned Finnish subsidiary, Grafintec Oy
("Grafintec"), published a Grafintec Sustainability Strategy setting out the
company's vision, principles and approach to managing its environmental and
social impacts. The document is available in English and Finnish on the
Grafintec website: Grafintec Sustainability Strategy
(https://www.grafintec.fi/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Grafintec-Sustainability-Strategy-Jan-2026.pdf)
.

·      Grafintec submitted an application for EU Strategic Project
status for the Graphite Anode Materials Plant ("GAMP") during the Period.

·      The Company announced that its applications to Business Finland
for a Tax Credit and Research, Development and Piloting Loan had been
unsuccessful due to the Company failing an eligibility criterion. Business
Finland noted the merit of the GAMP project and, subject to the eligibility
criterion being addressed, the Company intends to reapply.

 

Kosovo

·      Vardar Mineral Limited ("Vardar"), the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary focused on exploration in Kosovo remained subject to a non-binding
offer for its sale for a total of €4 million (approximately £3.5 million)
during the Period.

 

Corporate

·      Following the issue of the £500,000 Convertible Loan announce on
22 December 2025, a total of six conversion notices were received by to the
Company for a total of £250,000 resulting in the issue of 4,045,841 shares to
the Investor during the Period.

 

Financial

·      The underlying administration expenses of £375,583 are lower
than the previous period of £414,306. This decrease is primarily due to
share-based payment expenses of £71,614 (Q1 2025: £92,809), and legal and
professional fees of £144,024 (Q1 2025: £167,096).

·      The consolidated loss before tax increased in the Period to
£536,816 (Q1 2025: £423,349). This increase is primarily due to a loss on
conversion of the convertible loan of £124,217 (Q1 2025: £Nil).

·      The consolidated basic and diluted loss per share from continuing
and discontinued operations for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 was 0.95 pence
(Q1 2025: loss of 1.16 pence).

·      £87,100 in cash was held at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025:
£668,926).

·      Exploration assets decreased to £15,455,048 at 31 March 2026
compared to £16,763,811 at 31 March 2025. This is due to Vardar exploration
assets of £3,608,012 being classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2026.
During the Period to 31 March 2026, there were additions of £96,436 and
foreign currency losses of £83,732.

·      The cumulative translation losses held in equity increased by
£80,796 in the quarter ended 31 March 2026 to £995,547 (31 December 2025:
£914,571). Much of the Company's exploration costs are in Swedish Krona which
has weakened against the pound since 31 December 2025.

·      At 31 March 2026, the Company had 63,703,707 Ordinary Shares in
issue of which 47,179,151 were Swedish Depository Receipts representing 74% of
the issued share capital of the Company. The remaining issued share capital of
the Company is held in the UK as AIM securities.

 

Post Period

·      Following the end of the Period, the Company received a further
conversion notice for a total of £50,000 resulting in the issue of 1,000,000
shares to the Investor.

·      As detailed above, the consortium led by Jokkmokk Iron decided to
withdraw from the EIT funding programme and advance the NordicPipe project
independently. The consortium concluded that the project's key objectives can
be achieved more efficiently, with greater flexibility, and with a lower
overall cost and administrative burden independently from the EIT programme.

·      In April, Grafintec participated in the Power Coast Summit in the
municipality of Kotka, visited the Keltakallio industrial site and hosted
public meetings at its two graphite projects, Aitolampi
and Rääpysjärvi, in Eastern Finland.

·      The engagement with Alternative Resource Capital as Joint Broker
was terminated after the end of the Period.

 

Current financial position

As noted in its 24 April 2026 update, the Company is in advanced discussions
in relation to a range of potential funding solutions and has received and is
reviewing a number of proposals and term sheets. Discussions are at an
advanced stage with a potential strategic investor and it is hoped that a
definitive agreement can be reached within the coming weeks. The discussions
remain non-binding at this stage and therefore, there can be no certainty that
financing can be obtained or on the terms of any financing.

 

The Company, with support from its advisers, continues to manage its cash and
creditor position and anticipates retaining sufficient cash to continue
trading through the next few weeks while it seeks to finalise the strategic
investment. The Board cautions that the Company now expects that it will need
to secure additional financing by the middle of June in order to progress its
projects and provide working capital for its operations.

 

Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

 

"As work progresses at both Kallak and Grafintec, it is the critical focus of
the Board to secure the long-term funding necessary to continue advancing our
portfolio of assets. In respect to this, we hope to reach a definitive funding
solution within the coming weeks and look forward to updating the market as
and when appropriate."

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.

Beowulf's purpose is to generate value for all stakeholders through the
sustainable exploration, development and production of raw materials that are
critical to support the transition to a greener economy.

The Company has two core assets, an iron ore development project in Sweden and
the development of a downstream processing facility for graphite anode
materials in Finland.

The Kallak iron ore project in northern Sweden has the potential to produce a
'market leading' magnetite concentrate of over 70% iron content.  Jokkmokk
Iron, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, has defined a Mineral Resource,
classified according to the PERC Standards 2017, of a total of 132 million
tonnes ("Mt") grading 28.3% iron ("Fe") in the Measured and Indicated
categories, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39 Mt grading 27.1% Fe. The
Company secured the Exploitation Concession for Kallak in 2024 and is working
towards the submission of the Environmental Permit application. A Scoping
Study was completed in 2023 and the Company is focused on the completion of a
Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") to demonstrate the technical and economic
viability of the project.

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 completed a PFS in 2025 demonstrating extremely robust
economics and has secured a site for the future construction of the downstream
processing plant in Kotka in southern Finland. 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 CO(2) emissions
across the supply chain.

The Company also holds a number of exploration assets including in Kosovo
through its wholly owned subsidiary Vardar.

Beowulf wants to be recognised for living its values of Respect,
Responsibility and Integrity. The Company's ESG Policy is available on the

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS TO 31 MARCH 2026

 

 

1.    Nature of operations

 

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.

 

2.    Basis of preparation

 

The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on the
basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted
International Accounting Standards (UK-IAS). 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.

 

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 quarter ended 31 March 2026 is unaudited and has
not been reviewed by the auditors.

 

The financial information for the twelve months ended 31 December 2025 is an
extract from the unaudited financial statements of the Group and Company.. The
comparative group income statement has been restated for the purposes of the
discontinued operations under IFRS 5.

 

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.

 

Going concern

 

The Company announced in April 2026 that it received and was reviewing a
number of proposals and term sheets in relation to a range of funding
solutions and in particular, the Company is in advanced discussions with a
potential strategic investor.

 

While discussions are progressing, there are currently no definitive
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 concerns and therefore, the Group and
the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their
liabilities in the normal course of business. 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.

7.    Convertible loan notes

 

On 19 December 2025, the Company issued £500,000 unsecured convertible loan
notes (CLN), at the same time, the Company granted 4,329,004 warrants to the
investor with a 3 year term and an exercise price of £0.1155 per warrant. The
CLN accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum and has a term of one year.

 

From an accounting perspective, the CLN consists of three components:

 

-       Component 1 is the obligation to not repay the CLN in cash and
is recognised as a non-derivative financial liability and therefore measured
at amortised cost.

-       Component 2 is recognised as the option to convert the CLN into
Conversion Shares. This is a derivative, as the number of conversion shares
varies based on the share price. The fixed-for-fixed criteria is not met and
therefore the conversion option does not meet the definition of equity. The
conversion option is therefore a derivative liability accounted for at fair
value through profit or loss.

-       Component 3 is the option to convert the warrants into a fixed
number of ordinary shares at a fixed price. This component is therefore
classified as equity.

The equity component of the CLN has been recognised in the warrant reserve in
the statement of financial position.

Interest on the CLN is recognised using the effective interest method in
accordance with IFRS 9.

 

The value of the CLN Conversion Option is a function of the Company's future
share price. The value of the of the CLN Conversion Option depends on whether
the lowest trading price in the 20 days before Conversion is higher or lower
than the nominal value of the shares of the Company, being £0.05. Thus, a
computational model is required which creates numerous iterations of possible
daily share price evolution paths over the term of the CLN. The fair value of
the Conversion Option can then be calculated for each iteration with the
average of these values being the final fair value. This is known as the Monte
Carlo method.

 

 

 

8.    Share based payments

 

During the Period, there were no options granted (Q1 2025: Nil; year ended 31
December 2025: 2,272,000). The options outstanding as at 31 March 2026 have an
exercise price in the range of 12 pence to 262.50 pence (31 December 2025: 12
pence to 262.5 pence) and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8
years, 77 days (31 December 2025: 8 years, 158 days).

 

The share-based payment expense for the options for the period ended 31 March
2026 was £71,614 (Q1 2025: £92,808; year ended 31 December 2025: £286,364).

 

The fair value of share options granted and outstanding were measured using
the Black-Scholes model, with the following inputs:

Total Group exploration costs of £14,639,977 are currently carried at cost in
the financial statements. No impairment has been recognised during the period
(31 December 2025: £12,397).

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on
a number of factors, including expectations of future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management is required to consider
whether there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the
carrying value of this asset may not be recoverable.

The most significant exploration asset within the Group is Kallak. During
2024, the Supreme Administrative Court delivered the verdict to uphold the
Government's awarding of the Exploitation Concession for Kallak.

Kallak is included in the condensed financial statements as at 31 March 2026
as an intangible exploration licence with a carrying value of £12,587,401 (31
December 2025: £12,590,320). Given the Exploitation Concession was awarded,
Management have considered that there is no current risk associated with
Kallak and thus have not impaired the project.

During the year ended 31 December 2025, Vardar was classified as held for
sale, and therefore exploration costs in relation to Mitrovica, Viti and Shala
are £nil at 31 December 2025 and 31 March 2026 (see note 10).

Other intangible assets capitalised are development costs incurred following
the feasibility of GAMP project. This development has attained a stage where
it satisfies the requirements of IAS 38 to be recognised as an intangible
asset whereby it has the potential to be completed and used, provide future
economic benefits, whereby its costs can be measured reliably and there is the
intention and ability to complete. The development costs will be held at cost
less impairment until the completion of the GAMP project at which stage they
will be transferred to the value of the Plant.

 

10.  Discontinued operations

 

On 26 November 2025, the Company announced it had received a non-binding cash
offer of €4,000,000 (approx. £3,495,465) for its 100% interest in Vardar.
Completion of the offer is contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of the due
diligence process. Based on the information available at the reporting date,
the Directors were not aware of any issues that would prevent a satisfactory
conclusion.

 

In accordance with IFRS 5, the results of Vardar are presented within
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss (for
which the comparative statements and related notes have been restated). The
net assets of Vardar have been reclassified as assets and liabilities held for
sale. As at 31 March 2026, the net book value of Vardar's net assets of
£3,530,349 (31 December 2025: £3,525,450) is higher than the non-binding
cash offer of £3,495,465 (31 December 2025: £3,493,028) and therefore an
impairment of £4,897 (31 December 2025: £32,423) has been recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.

 

The investment in Vardar of £3,373,818 and the intercompany loan receivable
of £337,958 (31 December 2025: £364,441) have been classified as held for
sale in the Company's statement of financial position.
