The address of the Company's registered office is Ragnall House, 18 Peel Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 4LZ. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 comprise the interim financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Geodrill Ghana Ltd, Geodrill Mauritius Limited, Geodrill Cote d'Ivoire SARL, Drilling Services Malta Limited, Vannin Resources, Unipessoal Limitada, Geodrill Sondagens LTDA, Silver Back Egypt for Mining and Drilling Services S.A.E., Geodrill for Leasing and Specialized Services Freezone LLC, Geodrill Leasing Company Limited, Geodrill Senegal SARL, Company AL-TANQIB AL-MUTAKHIS For Mining LLC, Geodrill Zambia Limited being Geodrill Limited's registered foreign Zambian operating entity, Geodrill BF being Geodrill Cote d'Ivoire SARL's registered foreign Burkina Faso operating entity, Geodrill Mali being Geodrill Cote d'Ivoire SARL's registered foreign Mali operating entity, Geodrill Mauritius Egypt Branch Limited being Geodrill Mauritius Limited's registered foreign Egypt operating entity, Recon Drilling S.A.C. of which the Company owns a 95% shareholding, Recon Drilling Chile SPA of which the Company owns a 95% shareholding and Geo-Drill SARL of which the Company owns a 95% shareholding, GTS Drilling Ltd a company under common control, collectively referred to as the "Group". The Group is primarily a provider of mineral exploration drilling services. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Geodrill on August 9, 2025. BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, on a basis consistent with the accounting policies as presented in Note 2 disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") has been omitted or condensed. The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of, and disclosed in, the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Basis of measurement The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except where otherwise stated. Functional and presentation currency The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED) Critical accounting estimates and judgments In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Trade receivables Trade receivables are initially stated at their fair value. The carrying amounts for accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which represent management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses ("ECL"). The Group uses the simplified approach to recognizing ECLs for its trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group's historical credit loss experience applied to the aging of receivables, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at each reporting date. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Critical estimates and judgements applicable to these financial statements remain consistent with those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Trade receivables are initially recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts for trade accounts receivable are net of lifetime expected credit losses ("ECL"). The measurement of the ECL allowance for trade accounts receivable requires the use of management judgment in choosing estimation techniques, selecting key inputs and making significant assumptions about future economic conditions and credit behavior of the customers, including the likelihood of customers defaulting and the resulting losses. Management uses a provision matrix to determine the ECL for trade receivables. The provision matrix is used to estimate future credit losses based on the Group's historical credit loss experience. The ECL determined by the provision matrix is adjusted for current and forward-looking information relating to future economic conditions and factors specific to individual debtors that were identified to be at higher risk of default. Significant judgements are made in determining the adjustments for these factors. There are large aged trade receivable balances for which judgement is required to determine the measurement of the impairment provision at the reporting date. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The following sets out the Group's basis of determining fair values of: Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates their carrying value due to their short term nature. Cash Cash consists of cash at bank and cash on hand. The fair value of cash approximates its carrying values due to its short term nature. Trade and other payables The fair value of trade and other payables approximates their carrying values, due to their short term nature. Loans payable The fair value of the loans payable approximates their carrying value. Share-based payment transactions The fair value of stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes model. Measurement inputs include the share price on the measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility, expected term of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, expected forfeiture rates and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair values. Financial assets held at fair value through profit and loss Financial assets held at fair value through profit and loss consist of listed equity securities and their fair value is measured using quoted market prices. SEGMENT REPORTING The primary format of operating segments is based on the Group's management and internal reporting structure, which is submitted to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Due to the integrated nature of the Group's operations and re-deployment of drill rigs within Africa, the Group maintains only one operating segment. The Group has operations in South America, however, this is not material to the Group's operations and therefore not considered to be a reportable segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, two customers individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 21% and one customer contributed 11%. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, three customers individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 23%, one customer contributed 16% and one customer contributed 13%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, one customer individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. That customer contributed 22%. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, three customers individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 20%, one customer contributed 15% and one customer contributed 13%.

(2) Deferred tax assets in numerous jurisdictions have not been recognized in the financial statements because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the related tax benefits. Deferred tax assets have been recognized where it is considered probable that the Group will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize the related tax benefits. Tax, Customs and Transfer Pricing audits The Group has received a formal notice of recovery from a tax authority in one jurisdiction for tax amounts owing for the years 2022 to 2024. The notice of recovery is for missing payments in the amount of CFA4,714,639,248 (US$8.44M) with an additional amount of penalties of CFA4,714,639,248 (US$8.44M) amounting to a total amount of CFA9,429,278,496 (US$16.9M). The Group has obtained all of the remittance certificates from the tax authority's tax platform indicating that the missing payments have been remitted. As at the date of these financial statements, the Group has formally objected to the notice of recovery and is in discussions with the tax authorities. On August 1, 2025, the Group has entered into a guaranty with its local bank in the amount of CFA942,927,850 (US$1.7M) in accordance with the tax regulations. Based on the information obtained to date, management believes that its position is defensible and will continue to evaluate additional information as it becomes available on the matter. Management believes for all other matters that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending assessments (either alone or combined) would not materially affect the Group's operations, liquidity or financial position taken as a whole.

CONTINGENCY The Burkina Faso tax authority has assessed that Geodrill had a permanent establishment in Burkina Faso for the years 2016 through 2018 and that Geodrill was subject to direct taxes, penalties and interest in the amount of CFA5,232,253,593 (US$9.4M). Geodrill maintained that it did not have a permanent establishment in Burkina Faso in the years of the assessment and that it operated in Burkina Faso as a non-resident tax-payer and that its taxes were paid to the tax authorities directly from Geodrill's clients on Geodrill's behalf. In 2021, Geodrill filed its discharge for the amounts owing under the assessment with the administrative courts in Burkina Faso and in 2023, Geodrill received the ruling from the administrative court dismissing the entire assessment and was also awarded an amount of CFA1,500,000 for expenses incurred. The Burkina Faso tax authority, however, has not paid the CFA1,500,000 and has appealed the ruling. In 2023, due to security concerns, the Group wound up its operations in Burkina Faso and redeployed all of its equipment to other countries, ceasing to operate in Burkina Faso. As at August 9, 2025, the administrative courts have not responded to the appeal, nor have they set a trial date. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD On July 18, 2025, the Group repaid US$2.0M on the US$10.0M Revolving Line of Credit. As at August 9, 2025, the Group had outstanding US$6.0M on the US$10.0M Revolving Line of Credit leaving US$4.0M still available for drawdown.
