Operating Results and Financial Position

Review of Operations

Exploration Overview

During the half year ended 31 December 2025, the Company secured a foothold in Côte d’Ivoire through four goldfocused exploration permits. The permits, which total approximately 1,315 square kilometres, are located in the central-western region of the country and lie on Abujar–Napié gold trend within the Oumé–Fetekro Birimian greenstone belt in central Côte d’Ivoire, 100km north of the 3.8 million ounce Abujar Gold Mine and 160 km south of the 0.9 million ounce Napié Gold Deposit.

The tenements, Zuénoula, Vavoua, Vavoua West, and Kounahiri West, are considered highly prospective, with favourable structural features identified through aeromagnetic surveys and strong gold anomalies reported from adjacent properties. The presence of artisanal mining within the permit areas further supports their exploration potential.

Permits have been issued for both Zuénoula and Vavoua and soil sampling activities have commenced in January 2026. The Company continues the permitting process for Vavoua West and Kounahiri West.

As part of a broader refocus on high-potential gold exploration opportunities in Côte d’Ivoire, the Company divested of its Bruce project located in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Corporate

As part of the strategic expansion into West Africa, the Board of Directors was rationalised with Mr Richard Beazley and Mr Peter Stern resigning and Mr Peter Ledwidge appointed as Non-Executive Chair.

The financial statements contain a going concern paragraph at Note 3.

Events Subsequent to the End of the Reporting Period

On 30 January 2026, the Company issued 18,678,330 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.06 per share as completion of Tranche 2 of the placement announced 11 December 2025. This was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 30 January 2026.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2025 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

MetalsGrove Mining Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2025

1 Corporate information

The consolidated financial report of MetalsGrove Mining Limited for the half-year ended 31 December 2025 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 11 March 2026.

The Board of Directors has the power to amend the consolidated financial statements after issue.

MetalsGrove Mining Limited (the ‘Company’ or ‘MetalsGrove’) is a for-profit company limited by shares that are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company and its subsidiaries were incorporated and are domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is Level 2, 389 Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn, WA 6016.

2 Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2025.

When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to confirm to changes in presentation for the current half-year ended 31 December 2025.

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.

All relevant new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations which became applicable on 1 July 2025 have been adopted by the Group.

The adoption of these amendments did not have any material impact on the current period, prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3 Going Concern

As at 31 December 2025, the Company has a net current asset surplus of $3,226,979 and incurred a net loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2025 of $744,036 (excluding impairment of $1,684,740) and net operating cash outflows of $656,569.

A twelve-month cash flow forecast shows that the Company will need to raise additional funds to complete planned exploration programmes. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise this additional capital. These facts indicate there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due and thus continue as a going concern.

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

4 Segment information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group is organised into one operating segment, being exploration. This is based on the internal reports that are being reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ( CODM ) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. As a result, the operating segment information is as disclosed in the statements and notes to the financial statements throughout the report.

The Company operates in one reportable segment, being exploration. The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a regular basis that is consistent with the information provided in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions.

1 In December 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Aucrest SARL for the Zuénoula permit. Consideration payable was US$50,000.

In May 2025, the Company acquired joint venture agreements hold by Desert Metals Limited (DM1) with Générale des Mines et Carrières SARL. (GEMICA) for three permits being Vavoua, Vavoua West and Kounahiri West in the application stage. Upon the granting of the Vavoua permit in December 2025, $50,000 consideration became payable.

2 At each reporting date, the Group undertakes an assessment of the carrying amount of its exploration and evaluation assets. Where an indication of impairment exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the assets carrying value. During the period, the Group identified indicators on impairment on certain exploration and evaluation assets under AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. As a result of this review, a total impairment loss of $1,684,740 has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss in relation to the Bruce project.

7 Contributed equity

Issued share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised, net of tax, directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF METALSGROVE MINING LIMITED

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of MetalsGrove Mining Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of material accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Consolidated Entity does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 3 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $2,428,776 during the half year ended 31 December 2025. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3 indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
