REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

iTech Minerals Ltd holds exploration projects primarily comprising tenements in highly prospective geology primarily for lithium, gold, copper and antimony in the Northern Territory and battery materials (graphite and lithium), with graphite in South Australia.

In the half year to 31 December 2025, the Group progressed mineral exploration on its assets primarily prospective for lithium, copper, gold, antimony and graphite.

The profit of the Group, from the six months to 31 December 2025 was $1,698,230 (2024: loss $628,295). The main factors contributing to the increased profit was an increase in other income of $1,798,500 related to the lithium farm-in by SQM and lower employee benefits expense of $391,113 resulting from a reversal in share based payments expense on forfeiture of performance rights. The profit was further increased by a reduced loss on write down of financial instruments of $60,000 (prior year write down in excess of reserve), impairment reduction of $32,004 and lower administrative expenditure of 49,272.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is included on page 3 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended 31 December 2025

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Nature of operations

The Group’s principal activities are the exploration for industrial minerals (graphite, kaolin and halloysite) and battery minerals in South Australia and copper, gold and lithium in the Northern Territory.

b) General information and basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2025 and are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is the functional currency of the parent company. These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with AIFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Company is a for profit entity for the purposes of preparing its financial statements.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 27 February 2026.

c) Significant accounting policies

The Group has adopted all the amendments to the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Group's financial statements for the period beginning 1 July 2025. The adoption of all of the relevant new and/or revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and has had no effect on either the amounts reported for the current or previous financial years.

d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

i. Key estimates – impairment

  • The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

  • ii. Key judgements – exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

  • iii. Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with management and other parties by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share options is determined by the Board of Directors with reference to quoted market prices or using the Black-Scholes valuation method, where required, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the equity instruments were granted. The fair value of performance rights is calculated using the Company’s share price at the time of issue. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The weighted average number of shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share can be reconciled to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:

6 months to 6 months to
31 December 31 December
2025 2024
# #
Weighted average number of shares used in basic earnings per share 210,405,225 161,504,135
Weighted average number of shares used in diluted earnings per share 219,854,355 161,504,135
Profit / (loss) per share – basic (cents) 0.81 (0.39)
Profit / (loss) per share – diluted (cents) 0.77 (0.39)

There were 12,860,000 options and performance rights (2024: 9,360,000) outstanding at the end of the period. These securities have not been taken into account in calculating diluted EPS in the prior period due to their effect being anti-dilutive.
