About Hamak Gold Limited

Hamak Gold Limited (LSE: HAMA) is a UK listed company focussed on gold exploration in Africa and with a strategy of pursuing a BTC/crypto treasury management policy. Through its LSE main board listing investors underweight crypto can get professional exposure to this asset class.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Operating Review

The Company's activities during the period continued to focus on its highly prospective Nimba Licence in northern Liberia, which is located southwest of the nearby 5-million-ounce Ity Gold Mine of Endeavour Mining in neighbouring Ivory Coast.

Nimba Project Joint Venture

During the period a joint venture agreement was entered into with ASX listed First Au Limited ("FAU") whereby FAU paid an initial A$100,000 exclusivity fee in January and agreed to fund ongoing exploration work and pay to Hamak Gold a combination of shares and cash to progressively earn-into the Nimba licence. Following a satisfactory due diligence exercise, the first stage payment of A$250,000 cash and 100 million FAU shares have been received by the Company in return for a 35% interest in the Nimba project. A second stage payment of 200 million FAU shares will be made to Hamak Gold within 9 months of the Stage-1 payment and in return for a further 35% interest in Nimba.  At FAU's option a third stage payment of A$600,000 in FAU shares at a market determined VWAP may be made to fully acquire the Nimba project.  Thereafter certain Nimba resource-based milestone payments may be made to Hamak Gold in FAU shares totalling A$2 million.

Nimba Exploration

A detailed structural geological mapping exercise was completed across priority areas of the strong 5km x 1km gold in soil anomaly and in proximity to the high-grade Ziatoyah gold discovery as a pre-curser to a FAU funded 3,000m drilling programme during 2025.  This drilling is aimed at further delineating the gold mineralisation identified by Hamak Gold at the Ziatoyah discovery.

Two drill rigs were mobilised to Liberia by FAU and cleared through customs. A 3,000m drilling commenced at the Ziatoyah prospect shortly after the post period to test further mineralised extensions to the significant 20m at 7g/t discovery hole. At the time of this interim report, two drill holes, totalling 520m, have been completed.

Licence Holding

In January 2025, a new three-year mineral exploration licence was granted over the Nimba area to wholly owned subsidiary 79 Resources inc. The licences overs an area of 831 sq. kms and covers numerous areas of interest including the high-grade Ziatoyah gold discovery where rock chip sampling from mineralised outcrop returned grades of 37g/t Au and 45g/t Au and where initial drilling intersected 20m at 7g/t Au at shallow depth below the surface.

Post period, but at the time of this interim report, the requisite Environmental Licence for the Nimba permit had been issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Outlook

The Nimba gold project will continue to be fully funded by FAU with further receipts of cash and shares expected by Hamak Gold as part of the progressive joint venture earn-in agreement.  The first 3,000m drilling should be completed in 2025 with assay results being announced on a regular basis.

Bitcoin Treasury Management Strategy

We are moving forward with our Bitcoin Treasury as announced at the fundraise in July. In an upcoming investor call we will give more details on our Treasury policy and fundraising approach for the rest of 2025. We believe that a strong Bitcoin balance sheet will enable growth for the Company in the coming years and we look forward to adding further expertise to the Company's Board's in the near future

Funding: Post Period End

On 3 July 2025, the Company raised gross proceeds of £2,467,000 through the issue of 308,375,000  new ordinary shares, each new share has an attaching 1-for-1 warrant at £0.008 per share, with existing shareholders on the register, immediately before the placing and subscription awarded a free 1-for warrant on the same terms.

We continue to evaluate a number of funding strategies including further placements of shares and Convertible loan notes. Interest had been extremely high from investors and the Board continues to look at each to bring maximum long term shareholder value.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information

1.   GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Hamak Gold Ltd ("Company") was incorporated on 6 May 2021 and was incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands with Company number 2062435. The Company is limited by shares. The Company's registered office is Pasea Estate, P.O. Box 958, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, BVI.

 

The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on the Standard Listing of the London Stock Exchange. The principal activity of the Company is mineral exploration.

 

The Company together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Hamak Gold Limited (Liberia) and 79 Resources Inc, is referred to as the Group.

 

2.   BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements". The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with the UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

 

The interim financial statements of the Group are unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ($), which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

 

Comparatives

The comparatives presented are for the unaudited 6 months period ended 30 June 2024 for the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and for the audited year ended 31 December 2024 for the Condensed Consolidated Statement of financial Position and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

 

Going concern

 

On 3 July 2025 the Company raised £2.47 million before expenses from the issue of new shares, the funds used to buy Bitcoin under its policy to acquire Digital Asset Treasure in addition to its gold exploration assets, and for general working capital purposes. In addition, in August 2025, stage one funds have been received from FAU of A$0.25 million and 100 million FAU shares subject to a 6-month lock in, as part of FAU's acquisition of 35% of the Group's Nimba project.

 

The Directors believe the Group has sufficient cash and readily convertible assets to provide funding to meet its planned expenditure for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these interim consolidated financial statements and therefore the interim consolidated financial statement have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

 

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group's accounting policies were consistent with those applied to the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

4.   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

 

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the condensed interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

5.   BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL REPORTING

 

The Group's chief operating decision maker is considered to be the executive directors (the 'Executive Board').  The Executive Board evaluates the financial performance of the Group. During the period the Group had one activity only. The whole of the value of the Group's net assets was attributable to mineral exploration.

 

6.   LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
