Current financial position
As noted in its 26 November 2025 update, the Company has established a funding strategy to independently finance the next development phase for Grafintec, and through the sale of Vardar, raise sufficient capital to complete the Kallak PFS and Environmental Permit application and cover corporate costs for at least a 12-month period. The convertible loan note secured at the end of December 2025 provides additional short-term working capital.
The Heads of Terms for the sale of 100% of Vardar has been signed, although the transaction remains non-binding. The Company maintains a positive dialogue with the potential buyer and hopes to be able to conclude the transaction in the coming months though there can be no certainty that the transaction will proceed or on the final terms of any transaction.
Grafintec continues to meet with a broad range of potential equity investors with a number progressing to reviewing the company’s data-room under confidentiality agreements. The intention is to secure the €5 million equity component of the capital requirement for the construction and operation of the pilot plant over the next two years. Grafintec has been informed that its application to Business Finland for a Research, Development and Piloting loan scheme for a loan of €7 million has not been successful on this occasion, primarily due to failing one of the eligibility criteria. This is the same reason that was given for the Business Finland tax credit decision, a decision that Grafintec has appealed and is awaiting a formal response. Grafintec is hopeful that its appeal will be successful or that it can address the eligibility criteria in a different way. The Business Finland project team commended the loan application and recommended that, following resolution of the eligibility criteria, Grafintec reapply for the Research, Development and Piloting loan scheme which is the Board’s intention. It is also anticipated that Business Finland will launch a similar tax credit in the current year although this has not yet been confirmed nor the details published. Since the time of its initial application, the Company has continued to advance its plans for the pilot testing phase for the GAMP and is confident that it can address the eligibility criteria and submit an enhanced application in the coming months.
The Company continues to review alternative, non-dilutive sources of capital to support the development of its portfolio at the asset level and hopes to be able to update the market in due course.
These potential sources of longer-term funding are currently at non-binding stages, so no assurance can be given that they will successfully complete, or on the final terms of which any such transactions may be completed. In addition, whilst the Company hopes to be able to announce positive progress in the near-term, the timelines to close each transaction remain open. If the transactions, and in particular, the sale of Vardar, fail to close or closing is delayed, the Company will need to secure additional financing and working capital by early April 2026. Accordingly, the Company is currently working with its advisers in Sweden and the UK to procure additional near-term financing. While discussions are progressing, there can be no certainty that such financing can be obtained or on the terms of any financing.
Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:
“Beowulf made continued progress on its two core assets during 2025.
“The completion of the GAMP PFS represents a major milestone for the Company, underpinning the technical viability and exceptional economics of the project, and reaffirming our confidence in its potential to deliver significant value for the Company and its stakeholders. Having secured the site reservation in Kotka for the future development of the full-scale operation, the next steps for GAMP are pilot testing, and the Company has developed a plan for the funding and delivery of this phase. The pilot testing is designed to demonstrate the scalability of our process and ultimately secure long-term offtake agreements that will underpin the financing of the full commercial operation. The team continues to work on this funding and delivery plan, and we hope to be able to announce positive progress during the coming months. During the Period, we also held our first public meeting in Keltakallio; it was positive to see a strong level of open and productive engagement, and we look forward to building on this relationship with our local communities.
“At Kallak, we have significantly advanced both technical and environmental workstreams, focusing on optimising each phase of the project’s development and operation. Completing the PFS and submitting the Environmental Permit application represent two key future milestones for the project and we remain focused on securing the capital to enable us to achieve this. Kallak has the potential, through its extremely high-grade, low-impurity concentrate, to be a major contributor to the decarbonisation agenda for the steel industry. Our work around the development of a pipeline solution and logistics and infrastructure optimisation to the Port of Narvik has strategically enhanced Kallak’s offering by potentially improving project economics and helping mitigate environmental impacts.
“Concluding the sale of Vardar will bring in non-dilutive capital to support the advancement of Kallak and will also streamline the business. Whilst the offer remains non-binding, we hope to be able to conclude the transaction in the coming months, and we look forward to updating the market in due course.”

About Beowulf Mining plc
Beowulf Mining plc ("Beowulf" or the "Company") is an exploration and development company, listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and the Spotlight Exchange in Sweden. The Company listed in Sweden in 2008 and at 27 February 2026 was 72.4 per cent owned by Swedish shareholders.
Beowulf’s purpose is to generate value for all stakeholders through the sustainable exploration, development and production of raw materials that are critical to support the transition to a greener economy.
The Company has two core assets, an iron ore development project in Sweden and the development of a downstream processing facility for graphite anode materials in Finland.
The Kallak iron ore project in northern Sweden has the potential to produce a 'market leading' magnetite concentrate of over 70% iron content. Jokkmokk Iron, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has defined a Mineral Resource, classified according to the PERC Standards 2017, of a total of 132 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 28.3% iron ("Fe") in the Measured and Indicated categories, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39 Mt grading 27.1% Fe. The Company secured the Exploitation Concession for Kallak in 2024 and is working towards the submission of the Environmental Permit application. A Scoping Study was completed in 2023 and the Company is focused on the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of the project.
In Finland, Grafintec, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is developing the Graphite Anode Material Plant to supply anode material to the lithium-ion battery industry. The Company completed a PFS in 2025 demonstrating extremely robust economics and has secured a site for the future construction of the downstream processing plant in Kotka in southern Finland. While the intention is to initially import graphite concentrate from a third-party mine, Grafintec has a portfolio of graphite projects in Finland including one of Europe’s largest flake graphite resources in the Aitolampi project in eastern Finland. Grafintec is working towards creating a sustainable value chain in Finland from high quality natural flake graphite resources to anode material production, leveraging renewable power, targeting Net Zero CO2 emissions across the supply chain.
The Company also holds a number of exploration assets including in Kosovo through its wholly owned subsidiary Vardar.
Beowulf wants to be recognised for living its values of Respect, Responsibility and Integrity. The Company’s ESG Policy is available on the website following the link below:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2025
Beowulf Mining plc (the “Company”) is domiciled in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is 201 Temple Chambers, 3-7 Temple Avenue, London, EC4Y 0DT. This consolidated financial information comprises that of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the ‘Group’ and individually ‘Group companies’). The Group is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of natural resources assets and has not yet generated revenues.
The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (UK-IAS). The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation used in the preparation of the interim financial information are the same as those used in the Group’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 except as stated below.
The financial information in this statement does not constitute full statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the UK Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the period ended 31 December 2025 is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the auditors.
The financial information for the 12 months ended 31 December 2024 is an extract from the audited financial statements of the Group and Company. The auditor’s report on the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 was unqualified and included a material uncertainty relating to going concern. The comparative group cash flows and group income statement has been restated for the purposes of the discontinued operations under IFRS 5.
The financial statements are presented in GB Pounds Sterling. They are prepared on the historical cost basis or the fair value basis where the fair valuing of relevant assets and liabilities has been applied.
Disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations
Disposal groups 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. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. Following their classification as held for sale, non-current assets (including those in a disposal group) are not depreciated.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group 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 position.
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 comprehensive income.
Going concern
On 21 March 2025, in conjunction with the Company’s right issue, the Company entered into a short-term bridging loan of SEK 10 million (approx. £0.74m) with the underwriters of the rights issue to ensure that the Company had sufficient financial resources to continue advancing its projects ahead of the right issue being finalised (see note 6). The bridging loan accrued interest of 1.5% per 30-day period and was repaid using part of the proceeds from the capital raise, noted below.
On 8 May 2025, the Company announced the completion of the capital raise with a total of £2.2 million (SEK 28.1 million) gross raised to fund the development of the Company’s assets through their next key valuation milestones. The net funds raised after the loan repayment and share issue transaction costs are £1.25 million (see note 6).
The Company announced in November 2025 that it received a non-binding offer for the purchase of Vardar and was seeking to secure a Business Finland loan and raise equity at the Grafintec level. The Company secured the £500,000 convertible loan note on 22 December 2025 to provide short-term working capital to provide time for the sale of Vardar to proceed, however, at the date of this report the sale had not been concluded and remains non-binding.
Accordingly, the Company is currently working with its advisers in Sweden and the UK to procure additional near-term financing. While discussions are progressing, there are currently no agreements in place and there is no certainty that the funds will be raised within the appropriate timeframe. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as going concerns and therefore, the Group and the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors will continue to explore funding opportunities at both asset and corporate levels. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that funding will be forthcoming based on their past experience and therefore believe that the going concern basis of preparation is deemed appropriate and as such the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group and the Company were unable to continue as going concern.

On 21 March 2025, the Company secured a Bridging loan from Nordic investors of SEK 10 million (approximately £0.74 million). The Loan had a fixed interest rate of 1.5% per stated 30-day period during the duration.
Accrued interest was compounding. The Loan had a commitment fee of 5.0% and a Maturity Date of 30 June 2025. The bridging loan principal and interest totalling £0.95 million was repaid early in May 2025 using part of the proceeds from the capital raise.
On 19 December 2025, the Company issued £500,000 unsecured convertible loan notes (CLN), at the same time, the Company granted 4,329,004 warrants to the investor at a price of £0.1155 per warrant. The CLN accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum and has a term of one year.
From an accounting perspective, the CLN consists of three components:
| Convertible loan debt | Convertible loan derivative | Convertible loan equity | Total | ||||
| £ | £ | £ | £ | ||||
| Principal | 231,433 | 235,753 | 32,814 | 500,000 | |||

| Carrying value | 231,087 | 228,678 | 31,829 | 491,594 |
The equity component of the CLN has been recognised in the warrant reserve in the statement of financial position.
Interest on the CLN is recognised using the effective interest method in accordance with IFRS 9.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, 2,272,000 options were granted (year ended 31 December 2024: 2,560,000). One third of the options vest after one year, with the remaining two thirds vesting in equal portions after two and three years. The options outstanding as at 31 December 2025 have an exercise price in the range of 12 pence to 262.50 pence (31 December 2024: 37.50 pence to 262.50 pence) and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8 years, 167 days (31 December 2024: 8 years, 248 days).
The share-based payments expense for the options for the year ended 31 December 2025 was £286,364 (year ended 31 December 2024: £326,628).
The fair value of share options granted and outstanding were measured using the Black-Scholes model, with the following inputs:

Total Group exploration costs of £14,639,667 are currently carried at cost in the financial statements. Impairment of £12,397 has been recognised during the year for projects relating to Pirttikoski due to the expiration of the exploration reservation in which the Company made a decision not to apply for an exploration licence. (Year ended 31 December 2024: £72,563 in Karhunmäki). During the period to December 2025, Vardar was classified as held for sale and therefore exploration costs in relation to Mitrovica, Viti and Shala have been transferred to current assets held for sale.
Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on a number of factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management is required to consider whether there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of this asset may not be recoverable.
The most significant exploration asset within the Group is Kallak. During 2024, the Supreme Administrative Court delivered the verdict to uphold the Government’s awarding of the Exploitation Concession for Kallak.
Kallak is included in the condensed financial statements as at 31 December 2025 as an intangible exploration licence with a carrying value of £12,590,316 (31 December 2024: £10,271,536). Given the Exploitation Concession was awarded, Management have considered that there is no current risk associated with Kallak and thus have not impaired the project.
