2. Accounting policies

2.1.   Statement of compliance

The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is unreviewed and unaudited and does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for those periods within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2021 has been derived from the Annual Report and Accounts, which were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2022 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the Auditors on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. This condensed set of financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 as described in those annual financial statements.

In respect of new financial reporting standards which came into effect for reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2022, the Directors consider that their implementation has no material effect on the financial information presented in this statement.

2.2.   Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its long term strategy of developing its exploration projects is dependent on further fundraising.  During the period, a total of £1,276,000 was raised from warrant exercises (see note 4).  At 30 June 2022, the Group had cash of £1,723,000.

2.3. Exploration and evaluation assets

         These assets are recorded at cost and are amortised over their expected useful life on a pro rata basis of actual production for the period to expected total production.

2.4.   Investments

Investments are stated at fair value.

3.      Loss per share

The calculation of loss per share is based on a loss of £152,000 (2021, £27,000) and on 560,588,302 (2021, 480,763,732) Ordinary Shares, being the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the period.

There was no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share as the Group reported a loss for the period.

4.      Share capital

During the period, 48,868,969 warrants were exercised providing proceeds of £1,276,000.

Notes

Armadale's wholly-owned Mahenge Liandu Graphite Project is located in a highly prospective region, with a high-grade JORC compliant indicated and inferred mineral resource estimate announced February 2018 - 59.5Mt at 9.8% TGC. This includes 11.5Mt @ 10.5% Measured 32.Mt Indicted at 9.6% and 15.9Mt at 9.8% TGC, making it one of the largest high-grade resources in Tanzania.

The work to date has demonstrated the Project's potential as a commercially viable deposit, with significant tonnage, high-grade coarse flake and near surface mineralisation (implying a low strip ratio) contained within one contiguous ore body.

The Company's updated Definitive Feasibility Study (June 2020) confirmed Mahenge as a long-life low-cost graphite project with a US$430m NPV and IRR of 91% based on a two-stage expansion strategy comprising:

·      Stage One - processing plant and infrastructure at a nominal design basis rate of 0.4-0.5 Mt/pa to produce a nominal 60,000t/pa graphite concentrate in the first three years of production

·      Stage Two - a second 0.5 Mt/y plant and associated additional infrastructure doubling throughput to 1 Mt/y from Year 5 of operation

The DFS shows that Armadale can be a significant low-cost supplier to the graphite industry with the potential to generate pre-tax cashflows of US$985m over an initial 15 year mine-life and scope for further improvement as this utilises just 25% of the current resource, which remains open in multiple directions.

Projected timeline to first production is expected to be approximately 10-12 months from the start of construction and the capital cost estimate for Stage 1 is US$39.7m, which includes a contingency of U$S4.1m or 15% of total direct capital cost, with a 1.6 year payback for Stage 1 (after tax) based on an average sales price of US$1,112/t. Stage 2 expansion is expected to be funded from cashflow.
