Production and operational performance
Produced 6,218 tonnes of copper at Kounrad, 8,692 tonnes of zinc, and 12,613 tonnes of lead at Sasa, with zero lost time injuries in H1 2025.
Kounrad is on track to meet full-year copper guidance of 13,000–14,000 tonnes, with strong operational consistency and solar plant now supplying 17% of power needs.
Sasa increased ore mined by 8% but faced lower grades due to new mining methods and variable geology, prompting a strategic review and external consultant input.
Both sites completed major capital projects, including dry stack tailings at Sasa and relocation of Dump 15 at Kounrad.
Sustainability initiatives included zero lost time injuries, biodiversity management, and community support programs.
Financial performance and capital allocation
H1 2025 revenue was $99.5 million, EBITDA $39.9 million (40% margin), and adjusted free cash flow $16.2 million.
Group cash balance at period end was $48 million, bolstered post-period by $18.7 million from New World Resources share sale and $1.6 million break fee.
Interim dividend set at £0.045, supplemented by a $10 million share buyback, maintaining total cash returns comparable to previous periods.
Cost of sales rose 14% due to higher royalties, wages, and operational costs, especially at Sasa; admin costs up 24% mainly from business development and exploration.
Overdraft reduced from $6.6 million to $1 million post-period; company remains nearly debt-free.
Market conditions and cost management
Average copper and zinc prices received increased by 3% and 1% respectively, while lead price fell 7%.
Treatment charges dropped 40%, saving $3 million; Kazakh Tenge devaluation reduced Kounrad costs, while stronger Macedonian dinar increased Sasa costs.
Kounrad C1 costs decreased in absolute terms, maintaining a 72% margin; Sasa run-of-mine costs rose 8% due to salaries, energy, and new tailings methods.
Sasa reported a small loss for H1 but remained cash generative; Kounrad margins remain highly resilient to commodity price fluctuations.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
