-
BASIS OF PREPARATION
-
Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 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
-
Statement of compliance
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.
-
Trade and other receivables
-
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 September 30, 2025, three customers individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 15%, one customer contributed 11% and one customer contributed 10%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, three customers individually contributed 10% or more to
the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 17% and two customers contributed 11%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, one customer individually contributed 10% or more to the
Group's revenue and that customer contributed 20%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, three customers individually contributed 10% or more to the Group's revenue. One customer contributed 17%, one customer contributed 16% and one customer contributed 12%.

(1)The Group has tax losses in numerous jurisdictions that are available for the years December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029.
(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 and the Ministere des Finances. 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. However, the ultimate outcome of these audits is uncertain.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and related party payables approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. The carrying value of loans payable approximates their fair value as the fixed rate loans have been acquired recently and their carrying value continues to reflect fair value. The fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit and loss are measured using quoted market prices.
There were no financial instruments classified as level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Where relevant, the expected life used in the model used to determine the accounting value attributable to the options has been adjusted based on management's best estimate of the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions (including the probability of meeting market conditions attached to the option), and behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is based on historical share price volatility over relevant periods.
- 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 November 12, 2025, the administrative courts have not responded to the appeal, nor have they set a trial date.
