Operating ResultsDuring the Half Year, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $1,259,969 (2024: $450,646) which includes mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure of $152,155 (2024: $231,137).
Overview of OperationsAsara Resources is an exploration company with a portfolio of advanced minerals projects in Guinea, West Africa and in Chile, South America.
Set out below is a summary of the work undertaken during the Half Year on each of the Company's
projects.
Kada Gold Project, Guinea (Kada)The Company's flagship asset is the advanced Kada Gold Project (Kada), strategically located within the central Siguiri Basin in Guinea. The project lies approximately 36km along strike to the south of the >10Moz Siguiri Gold Mine operated by AngloGold Ashanti (Figure 1). Kada comprises two exploration permits, Kada and Bamféle, covering a combined area of approximately 200km², and has previously been explored by Newmont Corporation.
During the half year, activities at Kada focused on the commencement and ramp-up of the current drilling programme. A second drilling contractor was mobilised to site, bringing an additional air core (AC)/reverse circulation (RC) rig into the programme in December 2025. A number of drillholes were completed as RC holes with diamond drill tails (RCD) to test mineralisation at depth.
By the end of the reporting period, a total of four rigs were operating on the project, comprising one RC rig, one diamond drill (DD) rig, one AC/RC rig and one auger rig.
During the half year, the Company completed 47 drillholes for a total of 11,208 metres (excluding auger geochemistry), comprising:
DD: 1 drillhole for 353m
RCD: 16 holes for 4,382m
RC: 29 holes for 6,381m
AC: 1 drillholes for 92m
Auger: 335 drillholes for 3,669m
In parallel with exploration activities, the Company continued to actively engage with communities surrounding the Kada project area. This included ongoing consultations with local stakeholders and administrative authorities, including the sous-préfets (village chiefs) of neighbouring communities, as part of the Company's commitment to establishing a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with local communities as the project advances.

Paguanta Copper and Silver-Lead-Zinc Project, Chile (Paguanta)The Company has initiated a number of discussions regarding the potential divestment of its Paguanta silver, zinc, lead, copper project (Paguanta). This asset is non-core and remains on care and maintenance as the Company works towards monetizing its interest in Paguanta while the Company focuses on its flagship asset, Kada.
Loreto Copper Project, Chile (Loreto)Pursuant to the US$17m Option and Joint Venture agreement with Teck Resources Chile Limitada (Teck Chile), Teck Chile continued to engage with surface landowners and local communities with respect to project access.
CorporateOn 28 July 2025 the Company announced that it had raised $25m (before costs) from sophisticated and institutional investors via a two-tranche placement (Placement). The Placement was comprised of the issue of 500,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.05. The first tranche of 275,294,461 shares to raise approximately $13.76m was completed utilising the Company's existing capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The second tranche of 224,705,539 to raise approximately $11.24m was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on 12 September 2025.
Proceeds from the Placement have been applied primarily to exploration activities at Kada, including Resource extension and infill drilling at Massan, RC and auger drilling on the new licenses once granted, and mapping, trenching and geophysics over the entire Project area, upgrades to the exploration camp, costs of the transaction and general working capital.
Heads of Agreement - Arafura Ouest PTE LtdOn 9 December 2025 the Company announced that it had moved to expand the Kada Project footprint by entering into a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) to acquire 100% of Arafura Ouest PTE Ltd (Arafura), which owns, via its wholly owned Guinean subsidiary, Ara Exploration SARLU (Ara Exploration), the Damissa Koura and Kankan West Projects in Guinea (Permits). The Permits are located in the highly prospective Siguiri Basin in northeast Guinea and the acquisition of these significantly expands Asara's exploration portfolio to ~296km2.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 31 December 2025Summary of material accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the financial periods presented unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
This Half Year Report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting". Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". This Half Year Report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of investments. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Directors authorised these half-year financial statements for issue on 12March 2026.
Adoption of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year.
The adoption of these standards has not had a material impact on the disclosures and/or amounts reported in these financial statements.
Standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective
The Group has reviewed new and revised standards and interpretations that are in issue but are not mandatory for the current reporting period, and it was determined there will be no material change required to the Group's accounting policies.
Going Concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the half year, the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $1,259,969 (2024: $450,646). At 31 December 2025, the Group had net assets of $51,002,343 (30 June 2025: $29,358,233) and net current assets of
$21,334,064 (30 June 2025: $2,941,152), including cash and cash equivalents of $21,419,811 (30 June 2025:
$3,202,474).
The Directors have reviewed the Group's overall position and committed minimum expenditure requirements, and as at the date of this report, and are of the opinion that existing funds are sufficient for the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future as they fall due.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group not measured at fair value on a recurring basis approximate their fair values.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include the acquisition of permits / licenses, and the Group's share in joint projects, that provide the right to explore for minerals. All other exploration and evaluation expenditure including studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities is expensed as incurred.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest
The Group assesses the existence of any impairment indicators for all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include prospectivity of an area of interest and economic and political environments. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
Events subsequent to reporting date
Since the end of the Half Year, no significant event has occurred, except as stated elsewhere in this Half Year Report.
Exploration Commitments
The Group has the following expenditure commitments at balance date in respect of exploration interests, subject to the right to withdraw at any time.

Contingent Assets and Liabilities
Contingent Asset
According to Guinea tax law, value added tax (VAT) paid in relation to the Company's Guinea tenements may be recovered from the Guinea tax authorities. No asset has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as there is currently no certainty around timing for the recovery of the VAT or that the total VAT will be fully recovered. However, a contingent asset exists relating to total VAT paid to date. The total paid to the Guinea tax authorities to date has been capitalised as the acquisition of the Company's interest in the Kada Gold Project remains active.
Contingent Liabilities
1) Chilean exporters may recover the VAT paid with respect to their exports. Under certain circumstances, exporters may claim VAT credits in advance before exports are completed or the VAT has been incurred. CMP has received such VAT credits in advance of Chilean Unidad Tributaria Mensual (UTM) 31,340.58 which calculates to approximately AUD3.3 million at 31 December 2025 exchange rates (30 June 2025 : AUD3.3 million). It is expected that CMP will, in the future, export mineral concentrates from its operations and the VAT credit received will be applied to reduce this advanced VAT credit over time. If CMP does not carry out the exports as approved, such amounts of VAT credits claimed in advanced must be paid back to the tax authorities.
Directors DeclarationThe Directors declare that the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity set out on pages 11 to 19:
comply with Accounting Standard AASB 134 - Interim Financial Reporting, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and
give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance, as represented by the results of its operations and its cash flows, for the Half Year.
In the Directors' opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the Members of Asara Resources Limited
Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Asara Resources Limited (the "Company") and its controlled entities (the "Group"), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes, and the directors' declaration, for the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Asara Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibility is further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the "Code") that are relevant to audits of the financial report of public interest entities in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
