| Financial instruments |
| A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
| Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. |
| For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. |

| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred recurring losses during the financial year and, as at 31 December 2024, its liabilities exceeded its assets by £1,045,508. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
| The Company is, however, a subsidiary of Mkango Resources Limited (the "Parent"). The Parent has confirmed its continuing financial support and has undertaken to provide such funding as is necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. |
| Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis |

| The Report of the auditors was unqualified. |
| for and on behalf of |
| We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements, which indicates that the company is reliant on the wider Group for financial support. The Group consolidated financial statements included a material uncertainty related to going concern which may have a direct impact on the Group's ability to provide required financial support to the Company. As stated in Note 2, these events and conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
| In auditing the financial statement, we have concluded that the Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of financial statements is appropriate. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant section of this report. |

| There were no material events up to the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board. |
