Talisman Metals PLC

("Talisman" or the "Company")

Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2026

Talisman Metals PLC (“Talisman” or the “Company”) announces its interim financial statements and report covering the six‐months ended 30 June 2026.

A copy of the interim results is available at the Company’s website, https://talismanmetalsplc.com/investors/reports and extracts are included at the end of this announcement.

CEO Statement

Today we published Talisman's financial statements covering the six‐month period to the end of June 2026, which are also posted on our website. On 27 January 2026 the Company’s shareholders approved a transaction to acquire 100% of Tadeen International Limited ("Tadeen"), a UK‐registered company, which indirectly owns 100% of a portfolio of mineral exploration licenses in Morocco prospective for copper and silver (the “Transaction”). The Transaction set Talisman on a new course of development with a new team and focus. On 16 February 2026 the Company announced a binding agreement to acquire the Tirzzit Copper Project in Morocco from Aya Gold and Silver, Inc. (which is still in the process of regulatory transfer and management anticipates will be complete later this year). Subsequent to the reporting period end, on 20 August 2026 the Company completed a share placement of £501,800 in gross proceeds through the issue of 7,168,570 new ordinary shares. Throughout the entire reporting period and subsequently, the Company performed ongoing exploration work at both the Fougnar and Tirzzit Projects.

As at 30 June 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents amounting to €1.417 million (US$ 1.615 million) and management continues to carefully manage Talisman’s financial resources. The Company has no long-term debt nor any contingent future payments relating to its assets and projects. The costs incurred during the reporting period relate to the costs of closing the Transaction, as well as exploration activities and administration costs. I note that under IFRS accounting rules, and the financial nature of the Transaction, our Interim Results have not recognised any goodwill on the acquisition of our Moroccan projects as a non-current asset and all subsequent exploration expenditure has been expensed to the Income Statement. However, as we advance our Moroccan projects, the accounting treatment of this activity will be kept under review and may change.

I would like to thank the management team of the Company, our partners and contractors, and the Board of Directors for their support.

Talisman Metals PLC

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026

  1. Basis of Preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 are presented in €'000, which is the functional currency of the Group. The US$'000 are shown for information purposes only. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by European Union.

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

  1. Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

Other pronouncements - Some accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 January 2026 and have therefore been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial results or position.

  1. Going concern

The directors have reviewed the current state of the group’s finances, taking into account resources currently available. The Company is also reliant on future fundraises, most likely in the form of equity placings and given its history for being able to attract fresh capital, the directors are satisfied that sufficient funding will be available to the Group to enable it to trade for the foreseeable future. On this basis the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The directors consider that in preparing the financial statements they have taken into account all information that could reasonably be expected to be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the directors' plans were not successful.

  1. Estimates

When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

  1. Segmental reporting

Information regarding the Group’s operating segments is set out below in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker and used to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

At 30 June 2026, the Group operates as a single operating segment. Management, working with the directors of the company, review the financial performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis in line with one overarching strategic plan. The Group’s activities are integrated and relate solely to the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources. The bio pharmaceutical and investment segments are shown for comparative for the prior year.

  1. Investing Activities

On 28 January 2026, T Metals completed the acquisition of Tadeen International Limited, constituting a reverse takeover under AIM Rules. Following completion, the Enlarged Share Capital of 64,174,918 ordinary shares of €0.02 each was admitted to trading on AIM at an issue price of 7.7 pence per share.

As part of the transaction, Talisman issued shares in itself recognised in the accounts at €1.7m in share capital and share premium. The Tadeen Group did not meet the business test under IFRS 3, among other things it is currently not capable of producing outputs in the future. For this reason the acquisition was accounted for under IFRS 9 recognising a financial asset in the single entity accounts of T Metals.

As part of the transaction the following were also issued:

•          New Ordinary Shares pursuant to a placing of £350,000; and

•          Subscription Shares raising £805,000.

Total gross proceeds from the fundraising amounted to £1,155,000, resulting in total cash resources of approximately £2.255 million on Admission. Following Admission, the Company changed its name to Talisman Metals PLC. The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse takeover, with Tadeen International Limited treated as the accounting acquirer.

  1. Dividends

The company made no distributions during the period.

  1. Events after the reporting period

'Subsequent to reporting period end, on 20 August 2026 the Company completed a share placement of £501,800 in gross proceeds through the issue of 7,168,570 new ordinary shares of EUR0.02 par value each.

  1. Approval of the financial statements

The interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2026 and is included on the Company's website, www.talismanmetalsplc.com
