Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholders,
It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 2025 Annual Report for Focus Minerals Limited ( Focus ) (ASX:FML). The past year marked a transformative period for the Company, with significant operational advancements at the Coolgardie Gold Operations, strong production and revenue delivery, and a major balance sheet restructure through the successful sale of the Laverton Gold Project.
A key focus throughout the year has been optimising all mining activities while accelerating the development and production of underground ore from the Bonnie Vale Underground Mine. These efforts delivered notable achievements and positioned the Company for enhanced efficiency and sustainability.
Operationally, the Three Mile Hill ( TMH ) plant processed approximately 1.5 million tonnes of ore, achieving an average recovery rate of 93.5%. Focus sold a total of 49,154 ounces of gold at an average realised price of approximately A$5,556/oz. This strong performance reflected the continued strength in the Australian dollar gold price, combined with improved stability and delivery across the Coolgardie Gold Operations, supporting a consistent production profile and robust revenue generation.
Open pit mining activities encompassed the Greenfields, Alicia, Dreadnought, and CNX pits, delivering a total of 896,856 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.97 g/t, for 27,859 ounces mined. Mining at Greenfields was completed in July and the pit was successfully transitioned into an in-pit tailings storage facility. Mining commenced at Dreadnought during the same period, with approximately 1.2 million tonnes of waste removed in preparation for ore production. Alicia entered full production in May and contributed approximately 490kt of ore in the second half of the year. At CNX, development progressed significantly, with the pit opened in September delivering approximately 45kt of ore during the year.
The Bonnie Vale Underground Mine produced approximately 108kt of ore for the year, delivering around 25,000 ounces, and achieved a total of 4,263 metres of development. The operation advanced into a key stage of stope mining in late October, with approximately 10,145 tonnes of stope ore mined during the final quarter of the reporting period. To support the ramp-up of underground mining at Bonnie Vale, the Company completed the expansion of the Varischetti village from 100 rooms to 180 rooms. The village has operated at near-maximum capacity towards the end of the reporting period, with plans now underway for a second phase of expansion in 2026.
During the transition period from Greenfields to other pits, when early-stage development involved predominantly waste rock removal, Focus entered into several toll milling agreements with third parties to maintain optimal plant utilisation at TMH. This resulted in the processing of approximately 509,000 tonnes of third-party ore, generating additional revenue for the Company.
On the corporate front, Focus entered into an agreement with Genesis Minerals Limited for the sale of the Laverton Gold Project for A$250 million in cash. The transaction was successfully completed on 4 June 2025. The proceeds enabled the full repayment of all outstanding loans plus interest to our major shareholder, Shandong Gold, amounting to approximately A$174.8 million, significantly strengthening the Company's balance sheet.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to our shareholders for your continued support of Focus Minerals Limited. We remain fully committed to driving operational excellence, safety, and efficiency across our Coolgardie assets. With the foundations now firmly in place for sustained production, particularly from higher-grade underground sources, we are confident that our ongoing operations will deliver meaningful and lasting value to shareholders.
Yours faithfully,

Operations Review
Coolgardie Operations Overview
The Company’s focus has been optimising all mining activities and continue the development and production of underground ore from Bonnie Vale.
Notable achievements during the year are:
-
Focus sold a total of 49,154 ounces of its own gold at an average realised price of approximately $5,556/oz, reflecting continued strength in the Australian dollar gold price. This performance was underpinned by improved operational delivery across the Coolgardie Gold Operations, with increased stability in both mining and processing activities supporting consistent production and revenue generation.
-
Focus transitioned load and haul activities from a contractor model to an owner-operator model at the start of the year, enabling improved control over mining productivity and performance. In addition, both mobile equipment maintenance and fixed plant maintenance were brought in-house, reflecting the Company’s confidence in its ability to enhance reliability and operational efficiency. At the end of the year the Company also changed its drill and blast services provider to ensure mining activities progressed in line with the plan. THM plant processed a total of approximately 1.5 million tonnes of ore with an average recovery of 93.5%.
-
Focus’ open pit mining activities during the year included Greenfields, Alicia, Dreadnought and CNX, delivering a total of 896,856 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.97 g/t for 27,859 ounces produced. Mining at Greenfields was completed in July, with works finalised to transition the pit into an in-pit Tailings Storage Facility. Mining activities commenced at Dreadnought during the same period, with approximately 1.2 million tonnes of waste removed in preparation for ore production. Alicia entered full production in May and delivered approximately 490kt of ore in the second half of the year. At CNX, development progressed with the pit opened in September following approval for blasting from Main Roads, representing a key milestone. Mining at CNX delivered approximately 1.65 million tonnes of waste and 45kt of ore during the year.
-
Bonnie Vale Underground Mine produced approximately 108kt of ore for the year, delivering around 25,000 ounces, and achieved a total of 4,263 metres of development. The operation progressed into a key stage of stope mining in late October, with approximately 10,145 tonnes of stope ore mined during the final quarter of the year.
-
During the period where open pit mining was transitioned from Greenfields to various other pits, and early stage it development was predominantly waste rock removal, Focus entered into numerous agreements to toll treat third party ore to keep the TMH plant run rate at an optimum level. Focus processed approximately 509,000 tonnes of thirdparty ore during the reporting period, bringing in extra revenue and spread the plant’s fix cost across more tonnages.
-
The Company completed the Varischetti village expansion from 100 rooms to 180 rooms to cater for the commencement of underground mining activities and Bonnie Vale. The village has been at close to maximum capacity towards of the end of the reporting period. Plans are underway for second phase of expansion for additional rooms in 2026.
Corporate
- During the period, the Company entered into an agreement with Genesis Minerals Limited for the sale for the Laverton Gold Project for $250 million cash. The sale was completed on 4 June 2025.
As part of its capital management initiative, Focus has repaid its major shareholder, Shandong Gold, of all outstanding loans plus interest of approximately $174.8 million using proceeds from the Laverton Gold Project sale.

| Operating Unit Cash Cost (annual average) | <=$3,300 / oz |
| Net Operating Cash Flow (annually) | > = $50M |

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
Other than explained in the Review of Operations section above, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group to balance date.
Significant Events after Balance Date
ZhongShan Song resigned as a Non-Executive Director on 13th February 2026
Other than the above, there has not been any other matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future periods.
Material Business Risks
The material business risks the Group believes may have an impact on its operating and financial prospects are as follows:
Gold price and foreign exchange currency fluctuations
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the gold and silver prices which can impact revenue. Management actively monitors the price of gold and silver to ensure that the best prices are achieved on each sale. As the gold and silver sales are done in Australian Dollar terms, the Group is exposed to currency fluctuation which may impact on the proceeds from each sale.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
The Group’s Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are estimates based largely on interpretations of geological data. No assurances can be given that Resources and Reserves are accurate and that the indicated levels of gold and silver can be recovered from any project. To reduce the risks the Group ensures estimates are determined in accordance with the JORC Code and compiled or reviewed by qualified competent persons.
Government regulation
The Group’s operations and exploration are subject to extensive laws in Australia. The Group cannot give any assurances that future amendments to current laws or regulations won’t have a material impact on its projects. The Group monitors new laws and regulations to ensure compliance and address any impacts on projects as early as possible.
Exploration and development risk
There is a risk that Ore Reserves may be depleted and not offset by new discoveries or developments. Exploration for, and development of, mineral deposits have some inherent risks that even careful evaluation and execution may not produce results that were anticipated. Further, the discovery of an ore body may not ultimately be developed into producing mines. There are significant costs in establishing Resources and Reserves, obtaining all necessary operating permits, and to eventually developing a particular site.
Climate change
The Group acknowledges that its business may be impacted by the effects of climate change. The Group is committed to understanding these risks and developing strategies to manage their impact.
Environmental, health and safety
The Group has environmental liabilities associated with each project which have arisen because of its mining operations and exploration projects. The Group is subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection and management
Page | 27
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
of the health and safety of workers, the environment, waste disposal, mine development and rehabilitation and local cultural heritage. Any non-compliance may result in regulatory fines and/or civil liability.
The Group seeks to comply with the required permits and approvals needed for each project. Any delays in obtaining these approvals may affect the Group’s operations or its ability to continue its operations.
Cybersecurity
Our operations are supported by and dependent upon information technology managed internally and by the third party providers who manage our cloud services. There is a risk that cyber attacks could cause business disruption, financial loss, inappropriate disclosure of information or reputation damage.
The Group deployed a number of technical controls such as firewalls and antivirus software. The Group had implemented a program at all staff level to educate them on cybersecurity awareness.
Likely Developments and Expected Results
Disclosure of information regarding the likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial period and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this report.
Environmental Regulations
The Group’s operations hold licences issued by the relevant regulatory authorities. These licences specify the limits and regulate the management associated with the operations of the Group. At the date of this report the Group is not aware of any breach of those environmental regulations which apply to the Group’s operations. The Group continues to comply with its specified regulations.
Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
The Company has indemnified the directors and executives of the company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
Indemnity and insurance of auditor
The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the Company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the Company or any related entity.
Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Focus Minerals Ltd (‘the parent entity’ or “Focus”) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’ or “Consolidated Entity”).
- (a) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(b) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is also the functional currency of the parent company. The financial report covers the consolidated financial statements of Focus Minerals Ltd and controlled entities. Focus Minerals Ltd is a for-profit, listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
- (c) Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 21.
The financial information for the parent entity, Focus Minerals Ltd, disclosed in Note 21 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements other than investments in subsidiaries, which are held at cost.
- (d) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
- (e) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Chairman.
- (f) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Focus Minerals Ltd at the end of the reporting period and from time to time during the year. A controlled entity is any entity over which Focus Minerals Limited has control of the entity, demonstrated by the Group’s exposure to, or rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. In assessing the ability to control, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Page | 37
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
(g) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
Sale of gold and other metals
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods. Control is generally considered to have passed when:
-
Physical possession and risk of goods are transferred.
-
Determination of accuracy of the metal content of the goods delivered; and
-
The refiner has no practical ability to reject the goods where it is within contractually specified terms.
Toll treatment service
Revenue from the toll treatment service is recognised at the point in time when the relevant processing services have been completed.
Revenue from contracts with customers: Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The
Page | 38
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Interest Income: Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
Dividends: Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.
Rental Income: Rental income from mining leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognised as income in the periods in which it is earned.
(i) Costs of Production
Cash costs of production include direct costs incurred for mining, processing and mine site administration, net of costs capitalised to pre-strip and production stripping assets.
Royalty: Royalty expenses under existing royalty regimes are payable on sales and are therefore recognised as the sale occurs.
Depreciation: Depreciation of mine specific plant and equipment and buildings and infrastructure is charged on a unitof-production basis over the mine inventory of the mine concerned (consistent with the Life of Mine plan), except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the life of the mine, in which case the straight-line method is used. The unit of account is ounces of gold produced.
Amortisation: Mine properties are amortised on a unit-of-production basis over the mine inventory of the mine concerned (consistent with the Life of Mine plan). The unit of account is ounces of gold produced. (j) Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification for the current reporting period.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term, highly liquid deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts
(l) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for expected for credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit loses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Page | 39
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
(m) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(n) Inventories
Gold in circuit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value less costs to sell is assessed annually based on the amount estimated to be obtained from sale of the item of inventory in the normal course of business, less any anticipated costs to be incurred prior to its sale.
Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure and depreciation and amortisation relating to mining activities, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to be used in production are valued at the lower of weighted average cost, which includes the cost of purchase as well as transportation and statutory charges, or net realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific stock items identified.
During the exploration and development phase, where the cost of extracting the ore exceeds the likely recoverable amount, gold in circuit and ore stockpile inventory is written down to net realisable value.
(o) Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
Page | 40
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for shortterm leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
(p) Impairment of Financial Assets
The accounting policy for impairment of financial assets is explained in note 1(r).
(q) Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
-
When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets attributable to income tax losses are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Determination of future taxable profits requires estimates and assumptions as to future events and outcomes, in particular, whether successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest will be achieved. This includes estimates and judgements about commodity prices, ore resources, exchange rates, future capital requirements, future operational performance and the timing of estimated cash flows. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could impact on the amount and probability of estimated taxable profits and accordingly the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Focus Minerals Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments (“AASB Interpretation 23”) provides clarification on how to apply recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. Under AASB Interpretation 23, if an entity concludes that it is probable that the tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall determine its accounting for income taxes consistently with that tax treatment. If an entity concludes that it is not probable that the treatment will be accepted, the entity shall reflect the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax accounting in the period in which that determination is made. An entity shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either the most likely amount method or the expected value method, depending on which method the entity expects to best predict the resolution of the uncertainty.
(r) Financial Instruments
Financial assets
Classification:
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and
-
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on whether the financial asset is an equity instrument or a debt instrument, the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Measurement:
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments which are not held for trading, in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:
-
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in profit or loss.
-
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.
-
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or
Page | 42
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in profit or loss.
Impairment:
The Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
- (s) Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
-
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
- (t) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation
Depreciation on mobile plant is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets being 2 – 25 years.
Depreciation of underground assets is calculated on a unit of production basis over the period of the life of mine plan.
Depreciation of the mill treatment assets is calculated on a unit of production basis over the period of the life of mine plan.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment
Page | 43
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
The carrying values of plant and equipment and capital work in progress are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Where this is the case then the recoverable amount of this plant and equipment is estimated.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
De-Recognition and Disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(u) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises direct costs and does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and one of the following conditions is met:
-
The exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
Exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest is continuing.
Exploration expenditure is written off when it fails to meet at least one of the conditions outlined above or an area of interest is abandoned.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, or when the cash generating unit that exploration expenditure assets are a part of are tested for impairment. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount the impairment loss will be measured and disclosed in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.
When a decision is made to develop an area of interest, all carried forward exploration expenditure in relation to the area of interest is transferred to Mine Properties and Development.
- (v) Mine Properties
Mine properties include aggregate expenditure in relation to mine construction, mine development, exploration and evaluation expenditure where a development decision has been made and acquired mineral interests.
Expenditure incurred in constructing a mine by, or on behalf of, the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which economically recoverable reserves and resources have been identified. This expenditure includes
Page | 44
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
direct costs of construction, drilling costs and removal of overburden to gain access to the ore, borrowing costs capitalised during construction and an appropriate allocation of attributable overheads. Further, any revenue generated during the pre-production phase of mining is recorded in profit and loss as revenue with appropriate costs of production allocated and charged to profit or loss.
Mine development represents expenditure in respect of exploration and evaluation, overburden removal based on underlying mining activities and related mining data and construction costs and development incurred by or on behalf of the Group previously accumulated and carried forward in relation to properties in which mining has now commenced. Such expenditure comprises direct costs and an appropriate allocation of directly related overhead expenditure.
All expenditure incurred prior to commencement of production from each development property is carried forward to the extent to which recoupment out of future revenue from the sale of production, or from the sale of the property, is reasonably assured. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after commencement of commercial production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of the mine property only when future economic benefits are reasonably assured, otherwise the expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production and expensed as incurred. Such capitalised development expenditure is added to the total carrying value of mine development being amortised.
Mine development costs (as transferred from exploration and evaluation and/or mines under construction) are amortised on a units-of-production basis over the life of mine to which they relate. In applying the units of production method, amortisation is calculated using the expected total contained ounces as determined by the life of mine plan specific to that mine property. For development expenditure undertaken during production, the amortisation rate is based on the ratio of total development expenditure (incurred and anticipated) over the expected total contained ounces as estimated by the relevant life of mine plan to achieve a consistent amortisation rate per ounce. The rate per ounce is typically updated annually as the life of mine plans are revised.
Mineral interests comprise identifiable exploration and evaluation assets, mineral resources and ore reserves, which are acquired as part of a business combination or joint venture acquisition and are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Where possible, mineral interests are attributable to specific areas of interest and are classified within mine properties.
(w) Development Expenditure
Once a mining project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, expenditure, other than that on land, buildings and plant and equipment, is capitalised under development expenditure. Development expenditure costs include past capitalised exploration and evaluation costs, preproduction development costs, development excavation, development studies and other subsurface expenditure pertaining to that area of interest. Costs related to surface plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings are accounted for as property, plant and equipment.
Development costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest. Costs associated with commissioning new assets in the period before they are capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are capitalised. Development costs incurred after the commencement of production are capitalised to the extent they are expected to give rise to a future economic benefit.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial or technically feasible, any accumulated cost in respect of that area is written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated cost written off to the profit or loss to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
Amortisation of carried forward exploration and development costs is charged on a unit of production basis over the life of economically recoverable reserves once production commences.
Development assets are assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, development assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the development activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
(x) Development Stripping
Page | 45
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
Overburden and other mine waste materials are often removed during the initial development of a mine in order to access the mineral deposit. This activity is referred to as development stripping. The directly attributable costs (inclusive of an allocation of relevant operational overhead expenditure) are capitalised as development costs. Capitalisation of development stripping costs ceases and amortisation of those capitalised costs commences upon extraction of ore. Amortisation of capitalised development stripping costs is determined on a unit of production basis for each separate area of interest.
Capitalised development and production stripping costs are classified as ‘Development Expenditure’. Development stripping costs are considered in combination with other assets of an operation for the purpose of undertaking impairment assessments.
Removal of waste material normally continues throughout the life of a mine. This activity is referred to as production stripping and commences upon extraction of ore.
(y) Intangible Assets
Software
‐ Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 3 years.
(z) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. ‐ Other non financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are ‐ grouped together to form a cash generating unit.
(aa) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are recognised originally at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of each reporting period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.
(bb) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(cc) Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option
Page | 46
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(dd) Employee Benefits
Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, leave-in-lieu (“Toil”) and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
Defined Contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Long Service Leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service.
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or to providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(ee) Borrowings
Borrowings:
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Finance Cost:
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(ff) Fair Value Measurement
‐ When an asset or liability, financial or non financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, ‐ assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non financial assets, the fair value measurement is based
Page | 47
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
(gg) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(hh) Provision for Rehabilitation
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. The mining, extraction and processing activities of the Group give rise to obligations for site restoration and rehabilitation. Restoration and rehabilitation obligations can include facility decommissioning and dismantling, removal or treatment of waste materials, land rehabilitation and site restoration. Provisions for the cost of each rehabilitation program are recognised at the time that environmental disturbance occurs.
Provision for rehabilitation is initially measured at the expected value of future cash flows required to rehabilitate the relevant site, discounted to their present value. The judgements and estimates applied for the estimation of the rehabilitation provisions are discussed in Note 1(mm).
When provisions for rehabilitation are initially recognised, the corresponding cost is capitalised into the cost of the related assets and is amortised using the units of production method over the life of the mine. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense recognised in finance costs.
At each reporting date, provision for rehabilitation is re-measured to account for any new disturbance, updated cost estimates, inflation, changes to the estimated reserves and lives of operations, new regulatory requirements, environmental policies and revised discount rates. Changes to the provision for Rehabilitation liability are added to or deducted from the related rehabilitation asset and amortised accordingly.
(ii) Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. If the assets related to government grants have been fully impaired, amortised or depreciated, the grant received is recorded in the statement of profit or loss as other income.
(jj) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net result attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted loss per share is calculated as net result attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends.
-
The after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(kk) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(ll) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.
-
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss.
-
Restoration and Rehabilitation Provision The Group’s accounting policy for the recognition of restoration and rehabilitation provision requires significant estimates including the magnitude of possible works required for the removal of infrastructure and of rehabilitation works, future cost of performing the work, the inflation and discount rates and the timing of cash flows. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. When these factors change or become known in the future, such differences will impact the mine rehabilitation provision in the period in which they change or become known.
-
Estimation of Useful Lives of Assets The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
-
Unit-of-production Method of Depreciation/Amortisation The Group uses the unit-of-production basis when depreciating/amortising life of mine specific assets which results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportionate to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of mine production. Each asset’s economic life, which is assessed annually, has due regard for both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable mine plan of the mine property at which it is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions.
-
Income Tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(mm) Rounding
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Tax Consolidation
The Company and its 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement with effect from 30 June 2013 in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned controlled entities on pro-rata basis. The agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Focus Minerals Ltd.
Tax Effect Accounting by Members of the Tax Consolidated Group
Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement with effect from 30 June 2013. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group. Deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with a group allocation approach which is consistent with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes . The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the controlled entities intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, Focus Minerals Ltd.
Significant estimate – uncertain tax position
During the half-year, the Group disposed of Focus Minerals (Laverton) Pty Ltd for a consideration of $250,000,000 and an accounting profit of $203,525,000 (Note 25). The group has assessed the taxable outcomes of this transaction and is bringing to account tax losses of approximately $253,512,000 to reduce current tax payable. The tax losses include losses utilised under the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) and the Business Continuity Test (BCT).
In connection with this transaction, the Company received a pre-lodgement income tax review request from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The Company has provided a submission to the ATO. This remains under review by the ATO.
The utilisation of losses is subject to the Group satisfying the COT and BCT tests, which involves significant judgement and interpretation of tax law. The Group has assessed this position, in consultation with its tax advisor, in accordance with AASB Interpretation 23 and has concluded that it is probable the ATO will accept the treatment adopted. Accordingly, no additional current tax liability has been recognised in these financial statements.
If both COT and BCT losses were not available, the Group estimates an additional current tax of approximately $88 million (before any interest and penalties and subject to confirmation and acceptance of capital loss balances).

Note 10: Right-of-use Assets
The Group leases land and buildings for its offices. In some cases, the agreements have options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.
The Group also leases land and buildings for staff accommodation under agreements of less than two years. These leases are either short-term or low-value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.
The group also lease motor vehicles. The agreements are for 48 months with no option to extend.

The value of the Group’s interest in exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon:
-
the continuance of the Group’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration;
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale; and
-
no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the Group’s ability to maintain tenure.
Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Management has assessed the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets within the Coolgardie Project using a resource-based methodology at the individual tenement level, based on the presence of JORC-compliant Mineral Resources.
Tenements without a recognised Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) as at 31 December 2025 were fully impaired, as no economic resource, development pathway, or recoverable value could be supported under AASB 136.
For tenements with recognised Mineral Resources, recoverability was assessed using a market-based resource multiple, derived from observable trading and transaction comparables for ASX-listed exploration and early-stage gold assets. In
Page | 64
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
applying this approach, management considered the early-stage nature of the assets, limited near-term reserve conversion potential, and relevant permitting, heritage, and technical constraints.
An amount of A$55 per attributable resource ounce has been applied in determining recoverable value.
Accordingly, tenements with recognised Mineral Resources were partially impaired, with carrying values reduced to the assessed recoverable amounts.

Employee Benefits – Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months
The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.
Rehabilitation
The provision represents the present value of estimated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined by the Group at the end of the exploration or mining activities.

Note 18: Financial Instruments
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, and short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, convertible notes and derivatives.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.
The Group may consider the use of derivatives from time to time for hedging purposes such as forward gold sales agreements. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
Treasury Risk Management
Risks are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee which consists of non-executive directors and senior staff by invitation. This includes the analysis of financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
The committee’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.
The Audit and Risk Committee operates under policies approved by the board of directors. Risk management policies are reviewed and approved by the Board on a regular basis. These include the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit policies and future cash flow requirements.
Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Price risk
The Group is exposed to bullion price risk. This arises from the gold in-circuit and ore stockpiles held as inventories.
The policy of the Group is to sell gold at the spot price and has not entered into any hedging contracts. The Group’s revenue was exposed to fluctuations in the price of gold. If the average selling price of gold of $5,555 (2024: $3,714) for the financial year had increased/decreased by 10%, the change in the profit before income tax for the Group would have been an increase/decrease of $27,308,000 (2024: $11,221,000).
Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis and reviewed regularly by the finance department. It arises from exposures to approved customers as well as deposits with financial institutions.
The Audit and Risk Committee monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties:
Page | 69
Focus Minerals Ltd – Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
-
only approved banks and financial are utilised;
-
all potential customers are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position and financial standing.
The Group currently holds its cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets with various financial institutions, all of which hold a credit rating of AA. The Group believes the credit risk exposure to these counterparties is manageable. Credit risk for derivative financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counter-parties to the contract to meet their obligations.
Notwithstanding the above, the Group’s overall exposure to credit risk is predominantly attributable to trade receivables. While a portion of revenue is derived from a small number of large customers, there is no significant exposure of credit ‑ risk, as customers are predominantly well established counterparties with strong credit profiles and the Group has not experienced material credit losses.
Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Mining tenement expenditure commitments
As at 31 December 2025, the Group has committed, under tenement landholding conditions, to spend a minimum of $1.2 million per annum (2024: $3.3 million).
For the Laverton tenements, the commitment for 2025 is Nil (2024: $2.2 million). As of 31 December 2025, the Group doesn’t hold any tenements in Laverton.
For the Coolgardie tenements, the commitment for 2025 is $1.2 million (2024: $1.1 million).
Contingent Asset
On 18[th] September 2020, Focus Minerals Limited entered an agreement to terminate the Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture with Lithium Australia NL. Under the terms of the agreement, Focus Minerals Limited agreed to transfer 3 prospecting licenses in exchange for a conditional grant of royalty equal to 20% of the statutory royalty paid to the State of Western Australia. The licenses were transferred on 24[th] September 2021. Focus has lodged consent caveats to protect Focus interest in the royalties. As at balance date, the related mining lease application (as conversion of the prospecting licenses) is still pending, therefore the likelihood, amount, and timing of receiving future royalties under the agreement is unknown. Because the royalty income is not virtually certain, no asset has been recognised within these financial statements.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed this matter |
|---|---|
| Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements |
|
| The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation assets with a carrying value of $41,257,000 as at 31 December 2025. During the year, the Group recognised an impairment of $17,455,000 in relation to several areas of interest. We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgments involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset, including: • Determination of whether the exploration and evaluation assets can be associated with finding specific mineral resources and the basis on which that expenditure is allocated to an area of interest; • Assessing whether exploration activities have reached a stage at which the existence of economically recoverable reserves may be determined; and • Assessing whether any indicators of impairment are present and, if so, judgment applied to determine and quantify any impairment loss. |
Our audit procedures included: • Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; • Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest held by the Group and testing on a sample basis that the right to tenure of each relevant area of interest remained current at the reporting date; • Testing a sample of additions to supporting documentation and ensuring the amounts capitalised during the year comply with the Group’s accounting policy and relate to the area of interest; • Assessing management’s determination that exploration activities have not yet progressed to the stage where the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves may be determined; • Assessing the amount of impairment recognised in profit or loss in relation to exploration and evaluation assets for the year; • Enquiring with management and reading budgets and other documentation as evidence that active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest will be continued in the future; • Assessing and evaluating management’s assessment of whether indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date; • Confirming that the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale; and • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements. |
| Discontinued operations of Laverton Refer to Note 25 in the financial statements |
|
| On 4 June 2025, the Group sold Focus Minerals (Laverton) Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Focus Minerals Limited, for consideration of $250,000,000, resulting in a gain on sale after income tax of $203,525,000. The business represented the entirety of the Group’s Laverton operating segment. This has been |
Our audit procedures included: •Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for compliance with Australian Accounting Standards, including analysing management’s assessment that the disposal constituted at discontinued operation; |
==> picture [381 x 100] intentionally omitted <==
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed this matter |
|---|---|
| classified as discontinued operation in the financial statements. The accounting for discontinued operations involved significant judgement and estimates, in relation to the carrying value of net assets disposed and the presentation and disclosure of the discontinued operations in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued Operations. Given the materiality of the discontinued operations to the financial statements and the level of judgement involved, this is considered a key audit matter. |
•Assessing the appropriateness on the determination of the date of the divestment transaction; •Assessing the appropriateness of sale consideration, carrying value of net assets disposed and profit on disposal; •On a sample basis, testing the income statement transactions which have consolidated till the date of disposal; •Evaluating management’s assessment, including consideration of advice provided by the Group’s tax advisor, in relation to the tax treatment of the disposal; and •Assessing the appropriateness of disclosures in the financial statements to ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards. |
| Income taxes Refer to Note 4 in the financial statements |
|
| As disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Group recognised the tax effect of carried-forward tax losses utilised in the current year. These included losses utilised on the basis that the relevant entities satisfied the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) or, where applicable, the Business Continuity Test (BCT). Where there was uncertainty as to whether the Australian Taxation Office would accept the tax treatment adopted, management was required to apply AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments in determining the amount of current tax and deferred tax to recognise under AASB 112 Income Taxes. We considered this matter to be a key audit matter because the assessment involved significant judgement in determining whether the conditions for utilisation of the tax losses had been satisfied, including analysis of historical ownership changes, continuity of rights attaching to ownership interests, and, where relevant, whether the relevant entities satisfied the business continuity test. These assessments required detailed consideration of the facts and circumstances and the application of complex tax legislation. Different conclusions could materially affect the amount of tax losses available for utilisation, the associated current and deferred tax balances, and the related disclosures. |
Our audit procedures included: •Obtaining an understanding of management’s process for identifying, assessing and accounting for tax losses utilised under the COT and BCT, including the identification of uncertainty in the tax treatment; •Inspecting supporting documentation for relevant entities and management’s technical tax analysis supporting satisfaction of the applicable loss recoupment tests, including consideration of advice provided by the Group’s tax advisor; •Assessing management’s analysis, including consideration of advice provided by the Group’s tax advisor, of whether the relevant entities satisfied the COT and, where COT was not satisfied, whether the relevant facts supported utilisation of losses under the BCT; •Involving RSM tax specialists to assess the technical application of relevant tax laws and guidance with respect to the recognition of tax losses and review of current and deferred tax computations; •Testing the measurement of the recognised tax balances, including whether uncertainty had been appropriately reflected in accordance with AASB Interpretation 23; and •Evaluating the adequacy of disclosures in the financial report, including disclosures of significant judgement and estimation uncertainty. |
