("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Unaudited Preliminary Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2024

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Spotlight: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company, announces its unaudited preliminary financial results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "Period") and provides an update on its current financial position.

Activities in the Period

Sweden

· Significant progress was made by Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB ("Jokkmokk Iron") at the Kallak Iron Ore Project ("Kallak") during the Period, in preparation for the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") and Environmental Permit application.

· Dmytro Siergieiev was appointed in May as Project Director to lead the development of Kallak.

· In June, a positive verdict was received from the Supreme Administrative Court upholding the original award of the Kallak Exploitation Concession.

· Metallurgical test-work confirmed the ability to produce an exceptionally high-grade, low impurity iron ore concentrate grading over 70% iron content ("Fe") and containing less than 2.0% silica and

· Additional technical workstreams including site infrastructure, logistics and transportation, and water and waste management were also progressed during the Period with a number being substantially complete.

· The Consultation Process for Kallak, a critical part of the Environmental Permitting process, was initiated in September with the publication of a Consultation Document which set out the main parameters and potential impacts of the project.

Finland

· During the Period, the strategy for the development of the Graphite Anode Materials Plant ("GAMP") was updated to fast-track the development of the full process thereby capturing more of the anode material production value-chain and ensuring improved supply chain security. The PFS for the full GAMP process was initiated.

· During the Period the majority of the test-work for the GAMP PFS was completed and demonstrated the ability to produce battery grade material. The completion of the PFS remains scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.

· Further optimisation studies completed during the Period demonstrated the potential to reduce both energy and reagent consumption and recycle reagents thereby reducing cost and environmental impact.

· Grafintec Oy ("Grafintec"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Beowulf, completed the BATCircle2.0 project in October with €530,000 grant funding received from Business Finland and announced the initiation of the BATCircle3.0 programme with a further grant commitment of €232,000 received. The BATCircle grant funding schemes are designed to support the Finland-based Circular Ecosystem of Battery Metals through granting of up to 50 per cent of research and development programmes by Business Finland.

Kosovo

· During April, Beowulf consolidated 100% interest in Vardar Minerals Limited ("Vardar") through an all-share transaction. Consolidating full ownership of the subsidiary provided operational control and enabled the Company to significantly reduce the Vardar overhead.

· At the same time as the consolidation, Ismet Krasniqi was appointed to the Board of Vardar. Ismet has been involved since the formation of Vardar and has been instrumental in obtaining licences and managing its development.

· Exploration activity in Kosovo focused on infill soil and grab sampling on the Shala East licence during the Period.

· Discussions with a number of potential strategic groups were initiated and advanced during the Period with the objective of finding a partner capable of financing an accelerated exploration programme whilst the Company retains exposure to any future discovery.

Corporate

· On 3 April 2024, the Company completed a capital raise, raising a total of SEK 56.3 million (approximately £4.4 million) by way of a rights issue of Swedish Depository Receipts in Sweden and a PrimaryBid retail offer and a placing to certain UK investors including members of the Board and executive management. Proceeds of the capital raise were used to repay bridge loan financing and to fund the continued development of the Company's projects, in particular, Kallak in Sweden and the GAMP in Finland.

· In order to complete the capital raise, a General Meeting was held to provide the Board of Directors with the requisite authorisation and flexibility to increase the Company's share capital. In addition, given the Company's share price was near the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares, the existing Ordinary Shares of 1p each were subdivided into a new Ordinary Share of 0.1p and a deferred A share of 0.9p.

· Following the capital raise, the Company, at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 14 June 2024, passed a resolution to complete a consolidation of shares in the Company on the basis of 1 New Share of £0.05 (5 pence) for every 50 Existing Shares of £0.001 (0.1 of a penny) each. The consolidation of the Existing Shares provides greater flexibility for the Company when issuing new equity and should help to minimise dilution to Shareholders.

· On 2 December 2024 the Company announced the appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP ("PKF") as the Company's auditor, succeeding BDO LLP ("BDO").

Financial

· The consolidated loss for 2024 of £1,789,000 was lower than 2023 of £2,937,909. This decrease was due to the following : professional fees of £505,035 (2023: £696,247); foreign currency loss of £98,083 (2023: £150,224); salary costs of £240,788 (2023: £483,221); impairment of £72,563 (2023: £350,158), finance costs of £59,147 (2023: £197,724), legal fees of £13,570 (2023: £85,928), audit and accountancy £87,188 (2023: £122,174) and downstream processing costs of £67,976 (2023: £116,012).

· The administration expenses of the company of £1,565,601 in 2024 are lower than £2,778,142 in 2023. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the following: the expected credit loss on the intercompany loans of £467,651: (2023: £1,001,537), share-based payment expenses of £202,611 (2023: £321,534), salary costs of £166,227 (2023: £481,903), finance charge of £59,147 (2023: £195,304), P.R. services of £49,899 (2023: £97,515) and legal fees of £5,999 (2023: £83,226).

· Consolidated basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended 31 December 2024 was 1.04 pence (Q4 2023: loss of 2.31 pence).

· £881,349 in cash was held at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: £905,555).

· Exploration assets increased to £15,521,317 at 31 December 2024 compared to £14,797,833 at 31 December 2023.

· The cumulative foreign exchange translation losses held in equity increased in the year ended 31 December 2024 to £2,395,934 (31 December 2023: loss of £1,457,872). Much of the Company's exploration costs are in Swedish Krona which has weakened against the pound since 31 December 2023.

· At 31 December 2024, there were 31,586,820 Swedish Depository Receipts in issue representing 81.32 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company. The remaining issued share capital of the Company is held in the UK as AIM securities.

Current financial position

As the Company has noted in its December portfolio update, the market for junior resource equities and the funding of development projects remains challenging. The Company will need to secure additional financing and working capital in the very near term if it is to continue to advance its projects and indeed cover costs on a care and maintenance basis. Accordingly, the Company is currently working with its advisers in Sweden and the UK to procure additional near term financing and which would include management participation. While discussions are at an advanced stage, there can be no certainty that such financing can be obtained or on the terms of any financing.

Post Period Activities

There have been no material events or transactions between the 31 December 2024 and the approval of these financial statements.

Ed Bowie, Chief Executive Officer of Beowulf, commented:

"Excellent progress has been made across the portfolio during 2024.

"At Kallak, we completed the metallurgical test-work to confirm that we can produce a market-leading concentrate with very low impurities, and have made significant progress with other key technical workstreams including processing, infrastructure and water and waste management. Progress has also been made from a permitting perspective with the verdict from the Supreme Administrative Court upholding the Government's award of the Exploitation Concession and the initiation of the Consultation Process with local stakeholders and government agencies.

"In Finland, test-work was substantially completed in preparation for the release of the GAMP PFS in Q1 2025. Results from this test-work continue to confirm that the process can deliver battery grade material and has also demonstrated other benefits including reduced energy and reagent consumption.

"We continue to refine our exploration targets in Kosovo and engage in dialogue with potential partners to support the further development of our highly prospective licence package.

"The progress made during 2024 has significantly de-risked our core assets and has further highlighted their potential. The Beowulf team continue to work tirelessly to advance the assets and demonstrate their underlying value and I would like to thank them for their ongoing effort. I would also like to thank our shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support."

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 31 December 2024 was 81.32 per cent owned by Swedish shareholders.

Beowulf's purpose is to be a responsible and innovative company that creates value for our shareholders, wider society and the environment, through sustainably producing critical raw materials, which includes iron ore, graphite and base metals, needed for the transition to a Green Economy.

The Company has an attractive portfolio of assets, including commodities such as iron ore, graphite, gold and base metals, with activities in exploration, the development of mines and downstream production in Sweden, Finland and Kosovo.

The Company's most advanced project is the Kallak iron ore asset in northern Sweden from which test-work has produced a 'market leading' magnetite concentrate of over 70% iron content. In the Kallak area, the Mineral Resources of the deposits have been classified according to the PERC Standards 2017, as was reported by the Company via RNS on 25 May 2021, based on a revised resource estimation by Baker Geological Services. The total Measured and Indicated Resource reports at 132 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 28.3% iron ("Fe"), with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39 Mt grading 27.1% Fe.

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 is completing a Pre-Feasibility Study on the downstream processing plant. 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.

In Kosovo, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Vardar Minerals ("Vardar"), is focused on exploration in the Tethyan Belt, a major orogenic metallogenic province for base and precious metals. Vardar is delivering exciting results across its portfolio of licences and has several exploration targets, including lead, zinc, copper, gold and lithium.

Kallak is the foundation asset of the Company, and, with Grafintec and Vardar, each business area displays strong prospects, presents opportunities to grow, with near-term and longer-term value-inflection points.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. Nature of operations

Beowulf Mining plc (the "Company") is domiciled in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is 201 Temple Chambers, 3-7 Temple Avenue, London, EC4Y 0DT. This consolidated financial information comprises that of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the 'Group' and individually 'Group companies'). The Group is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of natural resources assets and has not yet generated revenues.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (UK-IAS). The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation used in the preparation of the interim financial information are the same as those used in the Group's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 except as detailed 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 2024 is unaudited and has not been reviewed by the auditors. The financial information for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 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 2023 was unqualified but did include a material uncertainty relating to going concern.

The financial statements are presented in GB Pounds Sterling. They are prepared on the historical cost basis or the fair value basis where the fair valuing of relevant assets and liabilities has been applied.

Going concern

Management have prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that the Group will need to raise further funds within the next 12 months for corporate overheads and to advance its key projects and investments.

The Directors are confident they are taking all necessary steps to ensure that the required finance will be available, and they have successfully raised equity finance in the past. They have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, while they are confident of being able to raise the new funds as they are required, there are currently no agreements in place, and there can be no certainty that they will be successful in raising the required funds 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 a going concern and that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

Acquisition of non-controlling interests

The remaining 38.9% of Vardar Minerals Limited was acquired in April 2024 and the remaining 34.25% of Wayland Copper Limited was acquired in November 2024.

3. Finance cost

4. Loss per share

The weighted average number presented for the period ending 31 December 2023 above and the year ending 31 December 2023 in the statement of comprehensive income have been adjusted for the effect of a 50 to 1 share consolidation.

5. Share capital

The number of shares in issue was as follows:

On 5 March 2024, each of the existing ordinary shares of 1p each in capital of the Company was sub-divided and re-classified into 0.1p New Ordinary Share and 0.9p Deferred A Share. The deferred A shares do not entitle the holders thereof to receive notice of or attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company or to receive dividends or other distributions or to participate in any return on capital on a winding up unless the assets of the Company are in excess of £100,000,000. The Company retains the right to purchase the deferred shares from any shareholder for a consideration of one pound in aggregate for all that shareholder's deferred shares.

On 3 April 2024, the Company announced the completion of the Rights Issue to issue 12,500,000 ordinary shares of £0.30. The PrimaryBid offer raised £3.8 million before expenses. In addition to this, 583,333 ordinary shares were issued for underwriting commitments. As part of the PrimaryBid offer, 1,571,172 ordinary shares were issued to existing retail investors raising £0.20 million.

On 9 April 2024, the Company issued 1,046,535 ordinary shares to the Vardar minority holders for the consolidation of 100 per cent ownership of Vardar.

On 14 June 2024, the Company consolidated its ordinary share capital resulting in every 50 existing ordinary shares of £0.001 each being consolidated into 1 new ordinary share of £0.05 each. At the period end, the Company had 38,844,790 Ordinary Shares in issue (Q4 2023: 23,143,749). All numbers presented within this note have been stated post share consolidation.

6. Share based payments

During the year ended 31 December 2024, 2,560,000 options were granted (year ended 31 December 2023: 465,000). 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 2024 have an exercise price in the range of 37.50 pence to 262.50 pence (31 December 2023: 50.0 pence to 367.5 pence) a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8 years, 248 days (31 December 2023: 5 years, 294 days).

The share-based payments expense for the options for the year ended 31 December 2024 was £326,628 (year ended 31 December 2023: £387,668).

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

The options issued will be settled in the equity of the Company when exercised and have a vesting period of one year from date of grant.

No warrants were granted during the year (2023: Nil).

The reconciliation of options in issue presented for the year ending 31 December 2023 has retrospectively adjusted for the effect of a 50 to 1 share consolidation

7. Intangible assets: Group

The net book value of exploration costs is comprised of expenditure on the following projects:
