HISTORY OF THE AREAS OF EXPLORATION
1. Sekisovskoye
The Sekisovskoye deposit is the Company’s core asset and is located close to the village of Sekisovka, approximately 40km from 
the north east Kazakhstan regional capital, Ust Kamenogorsk. The current licence expires in July 2029.
The mineral rights at Sekisovskoye are held by a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, DTOO GRP Baurgold, and the 
processing plant is owned by a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company TOO GMK Altyn MM.
The Sekisovskoye deposit was discovered in 1833 with surface mining taking place during the periods 1833 to 1847, 1932 to 1935, 
and 1943 to 1946. From 1975 to 1986, a range of exploration work was carried out. Between 1978 and 1982 “AltaiZoloto” of the 
Ministry of Non-Ferrous Industry, KazSSR, mined the oxidised area of the ore body. In 2003, under Hambledon Mining’s ownership 
(subsequently renamed to AltynGold Plc), further exploration work was undertaken and gold production from the mine and 
processing plant commenced in 2008.
In 2019, the Company received the findings of the mining consultant, Ernst and Young’s Competent Persons Report on the mine, 
which demonstrated substantial JORC reserves and resources, see page 31 for further details. Significant capital expenditure 
was incurred from 2020, with the Company establishing a platform to significantly increase production, and purchase additional 
mining equipment. The Company obtained additional funding in 2023 to expand the processing plant in order to increase its 
production capacity, moving to a processing plant capacity of 1mtpa in 2024.

2. Teren-Sai Ore Fields
In May 2016, the Company was awarded the subsoil 
exploration contract to conduct exploration testing at 
the Teren-Sai ore field for the 6 year term, this expired 
in May 2022 and the subsidiary that holds the licence in 
Kazakhstan applied to extend the licence for a further 
2 years, which was granted in March 2024.
The licence for further exploration expired in March 2026, 
and the Company applied for a three month extension 
to the licence which was granted. The Company has 
12 months from the granting of this licence in order to 
prepare plans to move to a production licence. This 
process is expected to be completed in Q4 2026.
The Company believes from the exploration drilling 
conducted that this project has the potential to contain 
significant gold resources and other mineral resources. 
A CPR was conducted in 2019 (see the report on page 31) 
which was very positive. The site has the potential to add 
significantly to the production output of the Company in 
the future.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Dear Shareholders,
2025 was a transformational year for AltynGold, as our strategic 
expansion and operational excellence drove record performance. 
With the Sekisovskoye plant operating at its full 1Mtpa capacity, 
we exceeded production targets, achieving 53.8Koz of gold and 
US$175.4 million in revenue, an 82% increase year-on-year. These 
results, supported by robust gold prices and the successful ramp-
up of operations, demonstrate our ability to execute our strategy 
and advance toward our medium-term goal of achieving mid-tier 
production status.
Operationally, 2025 was a year of significant progress. Beyond the 
success at Sekisovskoye, we made substantial strides in mining, 
infrastructure upgrades, and exploration, leading to more efficient 
and safer operations. Deeper exploration drilling has enabled a 
more targeted approach to reserve exploitation, setting the stage 
for future growth.
Looking ahead, we are evaluating plans to increase processing 
capacity to 2–2.5Mtpa, potentially boosting annual production 
to over 100,000 ounces in the medium term. Updates on these 
plans will be shared in the coming months. Our growth strategy 
also extends to the Teren-Sai project, where we expect to secure 
a production license by late 2026, further enhancing our medium-
term production potential.
Financially, strong cash generation allowed us to reduce debt 
while maintaining cost discipline, strengthening our balance 
sheet and supporting future growth. Our commitment to creating 
value for stakeholders remains central to our strategy, balancing 
business needs with sustainable returns for shareholders.
We will continue to invest in production enhancements to drive 
sustainable growth in annual output. AltynGold also maintained its 
industry leading safety standards, achieving a fifth consecutive 
year without lost-time incidents, a testament to our zero-harm 
culture.
In 2025, we strengthened our executive team by welcoming 
Maryam Buribayeva as our new CFO. Additionally, we are 
reviewing the Board’s composition to further enhance corporate 
governance through the addition of experienced Non-Executive 
Directors.
2026 has begun positively, and we expect production of 
52–55Koz, with a focus on efficiency improvements, expansion 
plans, and advancing key projects. With strong fundamentals and 
a supportive mining environment in Kazakhstan, AltynGold is well-
positioned for continued growth and value creation.
I extend my sincere gratitude to all employees and stakeholders 
for their dedication and support, which make our promising future 
possible.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Overview
The past twelve months have been a defining year for AltynGold, 
marking our first full year of operations following the successful 
expansion of the Sekisovskoye processing plant to 1Mtpa. 
The seamless integration of three production lines, along with 
upgraded infrastructure and equipment, enabled the Company to 
deliver strong operational and financial performance, exceeding 
our full-year production target of 50Koz.
Supported by a favorable market environment, with gold prices 
remaining at historically elevated levels, our operational success 
further strengthened the Company’s financial position. This 
achievement has established a solid foundation for continued 
growth, as AltynGold now operates at a larger scale with its 
expanded processing capacity fully operational.
During the year, we launched a new corporate website, aligning 
our external profile with our evolving scale and enhancing 
communication with investors and stakeholders. We remain 
committed to further improving our corporate profile and external 
communications, and we will keep shareholders informed as these 
initiatives progress.
Operational Developments- Sekisovskoye
The past year was marked by consistent execution across all 
areas of the business. At Sekisovskoye, operations ramped up 
successfully following the plant expansion, with throughput 
approaching the full design capacity of 1Mtpa. Ore extraction 
totaled 926Kt, while processing volumes reached 967Kt, driving a 
significant increase in production.
Key infrastructure upgrades were also completed, including 
improvements to ventilation and drainage systems and the 
expansion of tailings storage, ensuring scalable and reliable 
operations.
To manage the rise in tailings from higher production, the 
Company will expand existing dams in 2026. Over the longer term, 
additional dams will be developed to support continued growth.
Gold production for the year exceeded indications, reaching 
53.8Koz, despite some variability in grade and recovery. In parallel, 
underground development continued, with 73,832 metres of 
horizontal development completed, and exploration drilling 
totalled over 22,000 metres, supporting ongoing resource 
definition and future mine planning.
The Company is evaluating opportunities to expand processing 
capacity at Sekisovskoye, with studies underway on a potential 
increase to 2–2.5Mtpa. An update will be provided to the market 
by mid year.
These initiatives support our ambition to position AltynGold as a 
larger scale, mid tier producer, with a clear pathway to surpassing 
100,000 ounces of annual production in the medium term and 
further growth beyond.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Teren-Sai
At Teren Sai, three principal targets have been identified within the 
exploration area: plots 2, 4, and 5. Progress has been made toward 
securing a full mining licence, with approval expected in late 2026.
During the year, approximately 9,700 metres of core drilling 
were completed, alongside sampling and topographical work, 
supporting ongoing resource evaluation. Further preparation of a 
KAZRC compliant resource report are planned for 2026.
The current operating licence expired in March 2026, and a three 
month extension was obtained to allow submission of resource 
documentation. Within 12 months of the extension’s expiry, 
the Company must apply for a long term production licence. 
External consultants are preparing this application, compiling 
drilling results and resource statements for plots 2, 4, and 5, with 
completion expected by year end 2026.
Evaluation indicates that plot 5 hosts gold reserves with grades 
comparable to Sekisovskoye, while plots 2 and 4 contain mixed 
resources of gold and copper. Once the production licence is 
secured, detailed pit design and site preparation will begin.
Feasibility studies will determine the most practical and economic 
approach for exploiting plots 2 and 4. For plot 5, testing has 
already confirmed that gold processing can initially be undertaken 
at Sekisovskoye, given the compatibility of extraction methods.
Financial position
AltynGold delivered excellent cash generation in 2025, with 
EBITDA exceeding US$100m, supported by higher production 
and strong gold prices. This enabled continued deleveraging, 
reducing total debt to US$41.2m (2024: US$60.1m) and lowering 
gearing to 10.96% (2024: 37.7%). Bank debt was repaid in line with 
budget and is on track to be fully cleared by 2027. In addition, the 
existing US$10m bond was refinanced at a lower coupon rate, 
providing flexibility to fund future growth and capital expenditure. 
With reduced leverage and available headroom, the Company is 
well positioned to access further funding as required.
Despite global inflationary pressures and a stronger KZT the 
Company maintained disciplined cost management during the 
plant’s ramp-up to full production capacity. All In Sustaining Costs 
(AISC) increased to US$1,562/oz in 2025 (2024: US$1,318/oz), 
reflecting the transition to steady-state operations, optimisation 
of processing technology, and strategic capital investments for 
sustainable growth.
Altyn’s AISC remains competitive within the mid-tier range of 
US$1,200/oz to US$1,900/oz, well  below current and forecast 
gold prices, ensuring strong margins. With operations stabilised 
and technology performing consistently, AISC is expected to level 
off, support by economies of scale.
Capital discipline remains central to the AltynGold’s approach. 
Efficient allocation of capital has preserved financial flexibility, 
positioning the Company to fund future growth initiatives, 
including potential expansion projects, without compromising 
balance sheet strength.
Responsible operations and governance
Safety remains our highest priority. I am pleased to report that 
2025 marked the Company’s fifth consecutive year of zero lost-
time incidents underscoring the strength of our safety culture and 
the effectiveness of our operational controls.
We continue to enhance our ESG framework in line with 
international standards, embedding sustainability considerations 
into operational and strategic decision-making.
During the year, AltynGold also continued to support the Next-
Generation Smart Mining+ research programme, led by Hokkaido 
University of Japan in collaboration with Nazarbayev University. 
The programme remains at an early stage and is focused on 
evaluating the potential application of underground positioning 
systems for emergency response and environmental monitoring 
infrastructure, with AltynGold providing its operations as a pilot 
site for research and data collection.

Capital requirements
The CAPEX budget primarily covers maintenance at Sekisovskoye, 
including new machinery purchases and continued development 
of declines.
Advancement of the Teren Sai project to full production will 
depend on securing additional funding, with plans for next steps 
currently being finalized. No budget has been allocated for Teren 
Sai at this stage, as initial work will focus on feasibility studies 
and site preparation. Early development costs will be met using 
existing resources and equipment already held by the Company.

Outlook and long-term growth
 Looking ahead, AltynGold enters 2026 from a position of 
strength, with a stable operating base at increased capacity 
and a clear focus on efficiency and consistent production. 
The Company is targeting gold output of 52,000–55,000oz, 
supported by steady processing rates and ongoing operational 
improvements. Strategic priorities include the expansion of 
Sekisovskoye and advancement of Teren Sai, with updates 
expected in Q2 and Q3 2026.
While gold markets remain volatile, demand is strong and the 
sector outlook positive. Kazakhstan continues to strengthen 
its position as an attractive mining jurisdiction, supported by 
substantial mineral resources and growing relevance in global 
supply chains. With over two decades of regional experience, 
AltynGold is well placed to capitalize on both internal and regional 
growth opportunities.
On behalf of the management team, I thank our employees, 
partners, stakeholders, and shareholders for their continued 
support. We remain confident in delivering sustainable growth and 
long term value.

INDICATORS
Revenue for 2025 reached a record US$175.4m, driven by stronger gold prices, higher 
production, and improved grades. The Company sold 50,442oz of gold (2024: 38,708oz) at 
an average price of US$3,474/oz (2024: US$2,441/oz). Toward year end, the gold price rose 
sharply and is currently around US$4,800/oz, 39% above the annual average.
As in prior years, all dore output was refined by the Kazakh national refinery, which processes 
100% of production at prevailing US dollar spot prices under an annually renewed contract 
confirming volumes and pricing terms.
Total cost of sales rose from US$47m to US$79m in 2025, an increase of US$32m. Key drivers 
were:
•	
Mineral extraction tax: up US$6.8m, reflecting a 24% increase in ore extracted and a 42% 
rise in gold prices.
•	
Depreciation and amortisation: up US$7.2m due to additional plant and machinery and 
higher ore volumes.
•	
Subcontractor costs: up US$15.5m, driven by increased ore mined (926kt vs. 701kt), 
higher labour rates, and inflationary consumables.
•	
Staff costs: up US$2m from 36 new hires and pay rises.
Operating cash costs (excluding administrative expenses) rose to US$1,252/oz (2024: US$992/
oz). Total cash costs, including administrative expenses but excluding depreciation and 
provisions, increased to US$1,399/oz (2024: US$1,162/oz). All in Sustaining Costs (AISC), which 
include sustaining capital expenditure, rose to US$1,562/oz (2024: US$1,318/oz).
Administrative costs increased to US$9.7m (2024: US$6.6m), mainly due to:
•	
US$2m in irrecoverable VAT written off.
•	
US$0.8m in final payments for testing and implementation of the third production line.
Gross profit nearly doubled to US$96m (2024: US$49m), while net profit after tax rose to 
US$62m (2024: US$26.4m). Tax payments totaled US$17.5m, reflecting an effective rate of 19% 
after utilization of tax losses and adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to US$101.4m (2024: US$50.9m), underscoring strong operational 
and financial performance.
Year end cash increased to US$22.7m (2024: US$10.4m). Key movements were:
•	
Operating cash flow: US$55.7m (2024: US$29.4m), reflecting strong revenue growth 
after working capital changes and tax payments.
•	
Capital expenditure: US$15.6m (2024: US$21.9m), lower as plant upgrades are largely 
complete.
•	
Debt service and repayment: US$34.1m (2024: US$20.4m).
•	
New financing: US$15m raised (2024: US$22.4m), primarily from refinancing a US$10m 
bond at a lower coupon rate.
At year end 2025, total debt stood at US$41.2m (2024: US$60.1m), with gearing reduced to 
10.96% (2024: 37.7%). The majority of bank debt is scheduled for repayment in 2026, while 
bonds mature in 2027 and 2028. Gearing is calculated as net debt (total debt less cash) 
divided by total capital (equity plus debt).

Commentary
AltynGold share price commenced the year at a level of £1.90. During the 
year there was a significant uplift in the share price reflecting the increased 
productivity of the Company, combined with the rapid increase in the price of 
gold. This moved the share price to £12.35 at the end of the year, hitting a high 
post year end of over £17.00, it is currently trading in the £12-£13.00 range.
The market capitalisation of the Company has increased substantially and is 
now in the range of £350m - £360m (US$480m), but is subject to movement 
due to the current uncertain economic climate.
The Company’s strategy is now to move to its medium aim target of achieving 
100,00oz per annum and is presently considering a number of options to move 
towards this target.
Charts below show that the gold price rose in the period moving from the 
US$2,600oz range to US$4,300oz mark during 2025, and after the year end 
above the US$5,000oz level. Current forecasts do not see any significant 
correction in the midterm, potentially moving to US$4,000-US$4,300 mark 
during 2026.
The exchange rate in the prior year was at the level of KZT470 to a Dollar this 
has moved to a higher level and is currently trading around KZT470, and is 
remaining reasonably stable.

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our business model is two-pronged, consisting 
of the continued development of the flagship 
underground Sekisovskoye mine while seeking 
further growth opportunities at the adjacent 
Teren-Sai Ore Fields. For Sekisovskoye, the 
medium term target is to reach an annual ore 
extraction level of 2mtpa, which will be further 
increased subject to successful medium term 
targets being achieved. For Teren-Sai, the 
company is continuing the finalisation of plans 
for the extraction of minerals from open pit 
mining operations. The Company is currently in 
the process of applying for a production licence 
which it is anticipated it will be granted during 
Q3 2026.
In summary, our strategy aims to achieve a medium term 
target of 100,000oz annual gold production being a 
combination of processing of ore from Teren-Sai and 
further increasing the capacity at Sekisovskoye.
In addition to the above, the Company is always 
evaluating other projects to complement existing 
operations with potential acquisitions.
The business strategy rests on four pillars
Mining
The Company has a proven track record with its successful 
development of the Sekisovskoye mine. We intend to 
continue the expansion of Sekisovskoye mine in the 
most cost effective and efficient manner, while moving 
Teren-Sai to the production phase; initially open pit then 
underground.
Development
The underground mine and processing facility needs to 
be further developed in order to access significant ore 
reserves at increased depth which should extend the 
life of the Sekisovskoye mine. The development of open 
pit operations at Teren-Sai should allow an increase in 
production, moving annual output of gold produced 
towards 100,000oz per annum.
Exploration
The Company has been conducting extensive 
exploration at the Teren-Sai site with the completed CPR 
and extraction of test production yielding good results. 
It will also during 2026 conduct deeper exploration 
drilling to ascertain and determine the ore body co-
ordinates and obtain results of the gold grades and at 
greater depth.
Growth
We are committed to adding value to our shareholders 
by setting solid foundations for future production 
growth. As such, we frequently evaluate investment 
opportunities in Kazakhstan and Central Asia in case of 
potentially synergetic additions to our core assets.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND 
UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has reviewed the principal risks associated with the development of the Company, and there has been no material changes 
in the level or likelihood of the risks. The Company has considered the current situation in relation to, the effect of environmental factors, 
and the current political and economic environment, details of which are noted below:
Risks
Mitigation
Technical difficulties 
developing the 
underground mine 
at Sekisovskoye and 
exploration site at Teren-Sai
Encountering technical difficulties in further developing the underground mine at Sekisovskoye and 
developing the site at Teren-Sai to bring the prospective exploration site into production would be 
negative for the future of the Company. To mitigate this, the Company uses external consultants as 
appropriate to provide technical assistance when required, and works to a mine plan and budget that 
is regularly checked and updated. The current analysis of drilling results at Teren-Sai indicates that the 
production of dore from the site is technically feasible. The Company is preparing the documentation 
to move to a production licence for the future development of the site at plots 2, 4 and 5.
Failure to achieve 
production estimates
Failure to achieve production estimates could arise due to various circumstances, not least mining 
issues, processing plant issues and breakdowns, and political and other disruptions. Given that 
Company revenues are dependent on producing gold and silver from the Sekisovskoye mine, failure 
to achieve production targets would adversely affect the Company’s profitability and ability to 
generate cash. The Company mitigates this risk by careful operational planning and detailed technical 
appraisal work, as well as regular maintenance work.
The Company’s management has analysed the risks and uncertainties and has in place control 
systems that monitor daily the performance of the business via key performance indicators. Certain 
factors are beyond the control of the Company such as the fluctuations in the price of gold and 
possible political upheaval. However, the Company is aware of these factors and tries to mitigate 
these as far as possible. In relation to the gold price the Company is pushing to achieve a lower cost 
base in order to minimise possible downward pressure of gold prices on profitability. In addition, it 
maintains close relationships with the Kazakhstan authorities in order to minimise bureaucratic delays 
and problems.
Fiscal changes in 
Kazakhstan
Given that AltynGold operates solely in Kazakhstan, the Company is naturally at risk of adverse 
changes to the fiscal regime in the country. However, the country is outward looking and committed 
to attracting foreign direct investment. Kazakhstan has hosted international exhibitions and sporting 
events, and is positively encouraging investment, including relaxing visa requirements. We therefore 
believe that the Kazakh government is aligned with potential foreign investors and would be very 
cautious in implementing any fiscal changes that could deter investment. Recent tax audits of the 
subsidiary companies have not revealed any material discrepancies. The Company has consulted 
with the tax authorities and provided all necessary information as and when required, and will seek 
expert tax advice as and when necessary.
No access to capital
Funding Sekisovskoye - in order to continue with the underground development at Sekisovskoye, the 
Company must incur additional capital expenditure. The Company has achieved its short term target 
in the year of producing 50,000oz, it is now looking to move to its medium term target of 100,000oz, 
which will require further funding. In order to develop the site at Teren-Sai and Sekisovskoye to their 
full potential the Company is dependent on cash from external sources to develop the mine after 
this point and therefore its future is at risk if funds from these external sources are unavailable. The 
Company is developing a number of lines of funding to provide the required level of funding, ranging 
from internal sources, bank funding and funding from monies raised from the stock market. However, 
without further external funding to complete the underground mine, production would proceed at a 
much slower pace. The Company maintains good relations with its banks and bond holders who have 
proved to be a good source of funds at reasonable rates for the current expansion program.
Commodity price risk
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of gold and silver that it has produced. While the 
Company has no control over commodity prices, it is in a fortunate position of having a very robust 
mine development project in Sekisovskoye that can withstand prolonged weak precious metals 
prices. The Company has significantly increased production, once further funding is raised is looking 
to further expand output, and to build in production efficiencies The lower resulting cash cost of 
production will provide a significant buffer from falling commodity prices. The Company is looking 
at alternative sources of supply on a regular basis, and extending and developing its supply chains to 
maintain quality but at keen prices.

Risks
Mitigation
Inflationary & Currency risk
Inflationary pressures are increasing throughout the world, leading to higher commodity and 
overhead costs. In Kazakhstan this is balanced by the fact that some costs are paid in Kazakh Tenge, 
but the revenues are earned in dollars.
The US Dollar has maintained a level in the current year averaging KZT521 against KZT470 in 2024. 
As the revenue is generated in US Dollars, any strengthening of the US Dollar against the Kazakh 
Tenge will favour the Company, as a number of costs are being met locally in Kazakh Tenge. In order 
to manage and mitigate inflationary price increases the Company looks to source supplies from a 
number of different suppliers.
Reliance on operating in one 
country
Currently, all of the Company’s mining assets are in Kazakhstan. The Company believes that 
Kazakhstan has significant future mineral potential, hence the choice of jurisdiction. The Company 
makes it its business to be well informed of any in-country changes which may adversely affect 
the business. While the Company knows and understands Kazakhstan well and hence has a strong 
position in-country, it has stated that it would look at other opportunities in the future within the 
Central Asia region and this may mitigate risk.
Altyn’s reliance on one 
operation
Currently, the Company only generates revenue from one mine at Sekisovskoye. The Group is in the 
process of moving to a production licence at Teren-Sai, the process is expected to be completed 
towards the end of 2026 This will diversify the Company from the reliance on one site and one mineral 
as the initial drilling results have indicated significant resources of copper. The Company is also always 
looking to develop other business opportunities to complement the existing operations.
Political uncertainties
Kazakhstan historically has close ties with Russia which at present is under the continuing imposition 
of sanctions from a number of countries. Kazakhstan has not been affected by the imposition of 
sanctions and is attracting inward investment from a number of countries internationally.
The Company maintains good relations with relevant government bodies and it has a stable and 
loyal workforce which is sourced locally near the mine and is largely insulated from the disruptions 
in the major cities. There have been no issues or disruptions and the Company maintains good 
communications with its stakeholders to ensure any issues are highlighted and dealt with early.
Health, safety and 
environmental issues
The Company is aware of its obligations to all stakeholders in relation to maintaining a safe work 
environment. It liaises on a regular basis with the authorities and monitors and reports on a regular 
basis key environmental indicators such as air and water quality. There were no reported incidents 
of accidents in the year at the mine. The Kazakh authorities have recently reviewed and updated the 
environmental code in Kazakhstan. This has imposed a number of new regulations and requirements 
on the Company. The Company has reviewed its obligations under the code to ensure that it monitors 
and complies with the new requirements.
The Company is also aware of its longer term obligations in relation to reducing its carbon footprint 
and aims to ensure that this is considered in its decision making processes and the impact and costs 
to the wider environment. The Company is also keenly aware of the impacts arising due to changes 
in the climate due to global warming, which may increase risks to the Company in terms of climatic 
changes such as extreme changes in weather and potential increase in flood risks, as well as the 
transitional risks of moving to net zero.
In this regard it has set up a board committee to monitor and progress its obligations.
Further details in relation to the measures the Company is taking in relation to environmental issues are 
outlined in the sustainability information statement and it’s Corporate Responsibility Statement.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
NON-FINANCIAL AND SUSTAINABILITY 
INFORMATION STATEMENT
As required by The Companies 
(Strategic Report) (Climate Related 
Financial Disclosure) Regulations 2022 
(CFD), and the listing rule UKLR 6.6.6R, 
the Company’s actions have been 
mapped against the recommendations 
as developed by the task force on 
climate-related financial disclosures 
(TCFD).
The Company has reviewed the principal risks associated with 
climate change and sustainability, covering the physical risks 
associated with the climatic change of higher temperatures and 
changing weather patterns, and the transition risks associated 
with a move to net zero in terms of new technology and working 
practices. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
(IPCC), has concluded that the target of limiting the rise in global 
temperatures to 1.5c by the end of the century is still possible 
if sustained positive action is taken. This will be used as a base 
case scenario in the analysis below with the high case scenario 
reflecting temperature increases of 2.5c.
The report focuses on the two trading subsidiaries based in 
Kazakhstan that are included within the consolidated accounts 
of the parent AltynGold plc. The parent is not material to consider 
under TCFD as it operates as an administrative hub managing the 
trades of the subsidiaries and there is little impact from climate 
change. As part of the review the Company has considered the 
overall risks and the opportunities arising from the impacts of 
climate change.
The mining industry is highly dependent on physical conditions 
to be able to operate effectively, and as such, future variations 
in weather patterns globally with climate change will increase 
vulnerability to operational and supply chain disruptions. 
Machinery used for mining, processing and transportation is also 
highly reliant on fossil fuels as a source of energy, making the 
industry carbon intensive and highly exposed to risk of change and 
adaption to new working practices.
The climate change disclosures fall under four thematic pillars, 
governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and 
targets. The Company has mapped its compliance with the 
recommendations below, and its future plans to enhance its 
compliance and reporting in each area in order to manage 
potential risks for the business. This report should be read 
together with the Company’s approach to environmental matters 
and levels of greenhouse gas emissions emitted as detailed in 
the Corporate Social Responsibility Report on pages 25-30 of 
the Annual Report, in order to gain a full understanding of the 
compliance requirements of the TCFD framework and relevant 
accounting standards.
The Company has complied in all respects with the disclosures 
under the TCFD regulations other than the following, those relating 
to a stress testing of the resilience of the Company to a two 
centigrade change in climatic conditions. The Company is in the 
process of developing a fuller understanding of the emerging and 
changing effects that climate change may have on the Company 
and will seek external advice to determine potential impacts on 
the Company in this regard. The Company is planning to comply 
with this aspect of the disclosure requirements in 2026, and will 
seek the assistance of expert advisors to assist in this respect.
The Board employed external advisors to report on GHG 
emissions, who as part of the report indicated areas of 
improvement to reduce GHG emissions as part of its key 
findings. The Board are currently acting on this advice in order 
to further develop and refine its carbon reduction strategy 
and have reviewed its Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) on key 
physical assets owned and managed by the Company. The 
Company has adopted the metrics and targets as adopted by

the Kazakh government and is complying with all enacted Kazakh 
environmental laws as part of the process.
The Company is currently monitoring the risk of changing demand 
and increasing costs for its metal products under a low-carbon 
economy. As part of the next stage in the development of a 
strategy to monitor and adapt to various changes in the climate, 
the Company is in the process of developing models that would 
reflect the effects that may arise as relevant to the trade of the 
Company and impact thereof.
The physical and transitional risks as currently identified by the 
Company due to potential climate changes are detailed on 
page 20 to 22.
Governance arrangements and strategy in 
assessing and managing climate-related 
risks and opportunities
The Company regards this issue, as does the wider community, as 
growing in importance.
The Company has a sub-committee and has appointed two 
independent Non-Executive Directors to oversee the Company’s 
compliance with local environmental laws, and to assess 
the impact of climate change and the move to net zero. The 
Company’s aim is to move towards the net zero target as far 
as technology will allow at the current time.  The use of renewal 
technologies was assessed by the Company but at present it is 
not cost effective or possible due to environmental restrictions. 
To a large extent as described in the social responsibility report 
on pages 25 to 30, the basis of the environmental approach 
is governed by the requirements of compliance with the 
environmental laws of Kazakhstan. The two Directors are Andrew 
Terry (who replaced Maryam Buribayeva in September 2025), and 
Vladimir Shkolnik who receive regular updates on a quarterly basis 
on the Company’s environmental matters as part of its ongoing 
obligations as a mining company in Kazakhstan. The reports are 
received from the environmental department that monitors the 
overall approach to compliance with environmental regulations 
and is responsible for climate related matters.
The impact of climate change on the financial and operational 
policies of the Company are part of the overall framework 
operated by the management to identify the risks and 
opportunities that may arise from adaption to climate related 
risks. The monitoring of the risks and opportunities arising will 
be assessed at Board level by the executive Directors from the 
information received from the delegated board as noted above, 
and communicated with other Directors as actions are needed. 
The principal metric that will be used by the Board in assessing the 
reduction in GHG is the reporting provided to them of statistics in 
relation to the consumption of diesel and payments for external 
electricity supplies against the budgeted targets. 
The appointed board committee to oversee climate-related risks 
will report to the main board on any issues of importance as they 
arise, in particular if there are any issues to consider in the overall 
strategic planning. The approach to climate change and related 
matters will be a major consideration in relation to any planned 
operational expansion of the Company.
Process of identifying and assessing 
climate-related risks and opportunities 
identified and integrated into the overall 
operations of Company’s management 
process
As the Company operates in a sensitive environmental industry 
in Kazakhstan, it has a dedicated environmental department 
that deals with its obligations under its mining licences. This 
department has been charged with the remit of assessing the 
impact of any climatic changes that may occur in the future on 
the operations of the Company, together with the consideration 
of the risks and opportunities of the transition of the Company to 
net zero. It is in the process of developing modelling to include 
identified climate related risks to assess in more detail the

Risk management actions 
and strategy
Extreme flooding caused by 
snowmelt is seen as a major 
concern especially at the 
operations are underground 
There is a risk it could impact 
mine operations
The mine is located in North Eastern 
Kazakhstan, but it may pose a risk 
in the future. Currently with the 
upgrade works now complete the 
mine is well adapted. However 
severe floods hold potential to 
affect our operating costs, through 
increasing the amount of pumping 
required to remove water from 
mine pits, or lead to mining and 
processing delays.
Short term - not 
material
The management have reviewed 
the current pumping and water 
management procedures on site, 
and with the current upgrades and 
investment in equipment do not 
see a material impact. Additional 
training and review of procedures 
are being implemented and the 
situation will be kept under review.
Extreme heat and dust - More 
extreme temperatures or 
longer dry season leading to 
heightened dust concentrations 
and additional costs associated 
with running dust suppression 
measures and ventilation at the 
mine site.
Dust and ventilation is a priority 
air quality issue for the Company, 
arising due to mining activities, 
and is exacerbated by dry and 
windy conditions. Hotter and drier 
conditions with climate change will 
lead to higher dust concentrations, 
increasing operating costs 
associated with these controls, 
and increase in the amount of 
equipment needed.
Short term - not 
material
The site operates in hot dry 
conditions in summer however 
there may be further investment 
needed in provision of further 
ventilation equipment and 
water provision for workers. The 
Company has made significant 
investment and does so on 
a regular basis in additional 
equipment and ventilation works.
estimated financial risks on the Company if temperature increases 
exceeded the base case scenario of 1.5c.
The initial starting point for assessing climate related issues 
that may affect the Company is the environmental legislation 
in Kazakhstan. This will cover such matters as impact on the 
environment, pollution, managing resources and dealing with 
waste products. As the Company does operate in extreme 
climatic ranges of temperatures the physical risks are well 
known and monitored on a regular basis. This will form the basis 
of identifying the risks of environmental factors affecting the 
Company and are monitored on a monthly basis for reporting 
to the authorities as necessary and is part of the overall safety 
regime.
The principal risks considered are physical factors, such as 
increasing temperatures, flooding and other associated matters. 
The transitional risks relate to regulatory matters such as increases 
in taxes (pollution taxing), environmental controls, supply chain 
disruption and increasing costs of materials and equipment as well 
as changes in technology. The Company assesses risks and actions 
that may need to be taken as short term less than 2 years, medium 
term 10 years, and longer term 20 years, together with the likelihood 
of occurrence as low <10%, medium 10%-50%, and high >50%.
In terms of quantifying risks the Company will assess each risk 
based on the potential cost/benefit to the Company. The cost 
is based judgmentally on the estimated impact, for example 
closure of the mine or benefits from cost savings that may be 
made from introducing new working practices or equipment. 
The physical factors such as those noted below are deemed as 
more important, but as already noted as the companies operate 
in climatic extremes they are built into the overall risk assessment 
process. The risks and opportunities are initially assessed at 
subsidiary level and considered further at Board level as part of 
the overall strategy for the Company.
As part of this process of identifying the wider risks and 
opportunities the executive management will consider the future 
plans in relation to development of the mine at Sekisovskoye 
and the exploration site at Teren-Sai. This will cover as part of the 
review purchasing of equipment and resources, development 
of the infrastructure, transport of materials to and from the 
site, energy usage, and dealing with rehabilitation of the site in 
the future. At present this is being considered through internal 
evaluations. The Company has also been utilising external 
consultants to aid the Company in its evaluation processes as part 
of its normal environmental responsibilities.
Principal climate-related risks and strategy
The two mining trading subsidiaries are both operating in 
Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is a land locked country. In the interior of the continent 
it experiences extremes in temperatures ranging from -30c to 
+30c in Sekisovskoye where the mine is operational. Any impact in 
relation to changes in the climate are not expected to impact the 
operational capabilities of the Company as it already operates in 
an extremely challenging environment.
There is expected to be minimal operational impact on the 
Company from physical changes in the environment in either 
Astana or Almaty which are the administrative hubs of the 
Company.

Transition risks
The risks and opportunities are identified below it is uncertain 
as to the financial effect or the time scale in relation to various 
risk factors identified. The Company has recently finished a 
significant upgrade to the Sekisovskoye site and purchased a 
significant quantity of plant and there is not expected to be any 
material impact in the short term (less than 2 years). The next major 
investment in a processing plant will be in relation to Teren-Sai, 
which is expected to be in the midterm. The risks were qualitatively 
assessed as short (> 2 years), medium (3-5 years) and long-term 
(5+ years). The Company will keep the time horizons as they relate 
to the Company under review, taking into consideration the 
condition and age of the equipment, operational processes and 
life of mine, and infrastructure.

actions and strategy
Policy
The regulations in the 
country may change, 
which results in additional 
administrative costs 
and also impacts future 
production and costs. The 
Company may benefit by 
the use of government 
grants, incentives and 
support to switch to low 
carbon equipment.
The environmental laws 
in Kazakhstan have been 
evolving, see page 27 of the 
Corporate Responsibility 
Report. The Company is 
in full compliance with the 
current regulations and will 
be keep the situation under 
regular review.
Medium term - material
To develop a good 
understanding of current 
and potential new laws 
to be introduced and 
plan accordingly. Use 
of government grants, 
incentives and support 
to switch to low carbon 
equipment as they 
become available.
Technology
New machinery may need 
to be acquired with a 
lower carbon technology, 
with impacts in relation 
to lead times, installation 
and training. The benefit 
to the Company would 
be that newer machinery 
may be more efficient 
and less polluting to 
provide a better working 
environment to the 
workforce, but may be 
initially more expensive.
High polluting assets 
may be retired early, 
with consequent knock 
on to further costs for 
replacement assets. 
Further funding may be 
required to finance the 
switch to low carbon 
assets, which may require 
further equity/debt 
financing.
Medium term - not 
material
The newer machines 
will provide a cleaner 
working environment for 
the workforce. As the 
majority of machines 
and the infrastructure at 
Sekisovskoye has been 
recently upgraded this 
is currently not seen as a 
significant issue for the 
Company. In the medium 
term there may be some 
impact as Teren-Sai is 
developed and moves to 
the production stage, in 
terms of the acquisition of 
potentially more expensive 
low carbon machinery and 
plant processes.
Legal & 
reporting
Increased reporting 
requirements, the use 
of resources internally 
and possibly externally 
to meet reporting 
requirements. There would 
be greater awareness of 
the challenges facing the 
Company and the wider 
community with regard to 
climate change.
The Company could be 
at risk to climate-related 
legal action, reputational 
issues (social licence to 
operate) and investor risk 
which could materialise as 
increased costs, longer 
permitting delays, higher 
interest loans, or reduced 
access to capital.
Short term - not material
The Company is 
developing a greater 
awareness of the 
challenges facing the 
Company and the wider 
community with regard to 
climate change.

Metrics and targets
The Company is aware of its wider social responsibilities and has 
set targets to aim to reduce greenhouse emissions, (GHG) by 
15% in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 from the current base line of 2019 
in line with government set targets 2025. It has produced for the 
first time its scope 3 analysis of emissions and will be reviewing 
the metrics and targets in relation to Scope 3 in the current year in 
order to ascertain together with its suppliers/customer how they 
can work together to reduce emissions.
AltynGold is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions 
by 2060 in line with the current governmental and global targets. 
The Company target-driven Decarbonisation Strategy is 
structured around a framework that prioritises energy resilience 
and cost-effective reduction in emissions while optimising 
operational efficiency and maintaining business sustainability.
The Company has reported on the current level of greenhouse 
gas emissions, (GHG) on pages 25-30 of the report, noting Scope 
1, 2 and 3 emissions as compiled by external consultants. The 
accounting department will collate all data in terms of energy 
usage for the Group. The usage of diesel is monitored on a 
quarterly basis. The data and details of the supply and customer 
chains are passed to the external consultant to calculate the 
actual metrics. The principal GHG emissions produced by the 
Company are carbon dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, and Methane. These 
principally arise at the Company premises at Sekisovskoye, the 
Company uses accepted coefficient factors in order to assess the 
GHG emissions.
In terms of water management the total water withdrawn for use in 
operations amounted to 1.726 thousand m3. This was drawn from 
underground reservoirs, being pumped up into sludge ponds. 
Of this amount 489 thousand m3 was used in operations and 
801 thousand m3 of clean water was returned to the local stream.
The testing of discharged water is conducted on a quarterly 
basis in compliance with environmental legislation. There was 
no instances of non-compliance noted in the reports filed. The 
mine site is not regarded as an area of high water stress as there is 
sufficient water available from natural resources for the Company 
and local community.

actions and strategy
Reputational
The move to a low 
carbon economy, and 
investor and wider public 
sentiment moving against 
those seen as high 
polluting companies. If 
the Company moves to 
embrace plans to review 
and move to low carbon 
working practices at all 
levels of the organisation 
including Company, 
customer and supply chain 
levels, it will enhance the 
profile of the Company.
This may affect the ability 
of the Company to train 
and recruit people as 
well as raising finance. 
Ultimately resulting in a 
lowering of the value of the 
Company, as there may 
be a reduction in demand 
from both investors and 
shareholders.
Medium to long term - not 
material
The Company is 
developing plans to review 
and move to low carbon 
working practices at all 
levels of the organisation 
including Company, 
customer and supply chain 
levels.
Increasing 
taxes
Policymakers in Kazakhstan 
are implementing taxes 
on carbon emissions and 
over time these may be 
increasing in weight and 
scope. The Company will 
be increasingly exposed to 
the cost of carbon.
As a result, it is possible that 
the operations and supply 
chain will fall under some 
form of carbon pricing 
mechanism in the future, 
leading to increased direct 
and pass-through costs. 
Failing to prepare for this 
could lead to significant 
financial pressure on the 
Company to decarbonise 
quickly to avoid the worst 
impacts. In the short-term, 
it is expected to be low. We 
therefore do not anticipate 
any significant impacts until 
the mid to long term.
Medium term - material
Further develop and 
implement our emissions 
reduction targets and 
plans - currently 
the subsidiaries are 
categorised as low carbon 
polluting companies. 
Continue to engage 
with governments to 
evaluate renewable 
energy opportunities, 
and assess feasibility of 
using renewable energy 
for any new operations, 
using government grants if 
available.

DIRECTORS’ SECTION 
172 STATEMENT
Statement by the directors in performance 
of their statutory duties in accordance with 
s172 (1) Companies Act 2006.
In summary the statement provides that a director of a Company 
must act in a way that he considers, in good faith, would be most 
likely to promote the long term success of the Company for the 
benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard 
(amongst other matters) to various other stakeholder interests. 
The 6 key factors are:
•	
the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
•	
the interests of the company’s employees;
•	
the need to foster the company’s business relationships with 
suppliers, customers and others;
•	
the impact of the company’s operations on the community 
and the environment;
•	
the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for 
high standards of business conduct; and
•	
the need to act fairly between members of the company.
The Board of Directors of AltynGold Plc both individually and 
collectively act in the way they consider in good faith would be 
most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit 
of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and 
considerations set out in s172 (1) (a-f) of the Act). In decisions taken 
to the year ended 31 December 2025, we would reference our 
approach to our business plan, social and corporate responsibility 
and the supporting control environment which deliver good 
outcomes for the company and wider stakeholders. In achieving 
this, the following areas are highlighted:
The Company maintains good lines of communication with the 
workforce and relevant government bodies, and there have been 
no material disruptions in the year.
In making their decisions the Board carefully assessed the future 
long-term aim of growing the Company. It has made its decisions 
balanced against the need to maintain safe working practices for 
its employees, achieving the increase in production capacity at 
a reasonable cost of capital, being aware of the environmental 
consideration and to obtain a good return to shareholders.
The Board has maintained regular contact with it’s principal 
customer and suppliers, as well as cooperating with the 
national and regional authorities to ensure all regulatory and 
legal requirements were met. Regular contact has also been 
maintained with bankers and suppliers on a personal level and with 
its refiner. Shareholders have been communicated, through the 
online messaging services and the website where presentations 
and Company broadcasts are available. The Company AGM also 
provides a portal where shareholders will be able to physically 
attend and ask any questions that they may have.
The Board made the following key decisions in the year;
a)	
Our Company’s plans were designed to have a long-term 
beneficial impact on the Company and to contribute to 
the success in delivering the business of exploration and 
developing and operating a mine to produce gold and other 
precious metals as outlined in our strategy and business 
model on page 15, and in relation to our longer term plan in the 
Chief Executives’ report on page 8. We continue to operate 
our business within a structured control environment and 
comply with all necessary regulated requirements necessary 
to maintain the operating licences. Key decisions in the year 
were:
•	
The management agreed the budgets for 2026, to maintain 
the production at current levels of 50,000-55,000 oz.
•	
The contract with the subcontractor responsible for 
the extraction of ore and capital development of the 
underground mine was reviewed and updated for revised 
pricing and quantities during the year.
•	
The management renegotiated the off take agreement 
with its principal customer, detailing the quantity of dore 
to be supplied and payment terms for the period to 
December 2026, and revised costs of refining.
•	
A bond of US$10m was raised on AIX in order to provide 
financing to service the capital investment in the year.
•	
Investment plans were put in place to investigate the 
possibility of expansion of the processing capacity at 
Sekisovskoye, increasing the capacity to an additional 1mt of 
ore to be processed.
•	
The sub-soil contract at Teren-Sai expired in March 2026,  an 
extension was granted to June 2026 in order to submit an 
application to move to a production licence to commence in 
2026.
b) 	
Our employees are fundamental to the delivery of our 
business. AltynGold wants to build teams that are loyal and 
committed to the long term success of the Company and 
create a pleasant work environment where all employees can 
thrive. We have put steps in place for workforce engagement, 
training and development, employee networks, and regular 
communication updates with senior management. During 
the year the company has worked closely with its employees 
and local authorities at both head office and the mine site to 
ensure that the staff were able to engage in the Company’s 
activities in safe working environment.
During the year the Company recognised its wider 
responsibilities to the wider community and assisted the 
development of the local community infrastructure, as well as 
supporting government led initiatives for the wider benefit of 
residents of Kazakhstan.
c) 	
At AltynGold, we think about the implications of our decisions 
on everyone in our Group, our industry and our community, 
because we are committed to building a sustainable business 
with a legacy we can all be proud of. Our success depends 
on our relationships with employees, a network of experts, 
customers and suppliers beyond our business.
The majority of the workforce live and work in Sekisovska 
village located next to the mine. The Company is aware of the 
need to foster good relationships with the local community 
and try to engage with them, keeping them informed of the 
business activities.
All of our activities are informed by appropriate engagement 
with stakeholders to gain an understanding of our operating 
environment and the market in which we operate. At present 
the Company has a single customer for its gold output as 
regulated by the Kazakh authorities and it complies with all 
requirements for timings and deliveries as appropriate. We 
value our suppliers and maintain regular communication with 
them. The Board has regular meetings with key equipment 
suppliers, principal consumable suppliers and its sub-
contractors to agree contract terms and to discuss any 

24   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
issues that may have arisen. It has also established a good 
line of communication with its principal finance providers at 
the bank and AIX, to ensure that operations run smoothly and 
they are kept abreast of Company developments.
d)	
Our plans take into account the impact of the company’s 
operations on the community, the environment and wider 
societal responsibilities, some of which are mandated 
by government legislation but others are taken up by the 
Company voluntarily. The Company was able to grow 
employee numbers, aiding and supporting the local 
community in which the mine is the key employer.
Further details on this and the Company’s impact on 
the environment are as detailed in the Corporate Social 
Responsibility report on page 25. AltynGold aims to ensure 
that it plays a responsible part in society as a whole. We 
also evolve and adapt as regulation changes and public 
interest in emerging issues grow. The plans the Company has 
developed helps it to stay focused and make an impact and, 
it is keenly aware of the mine’s environmental impact and 
the dangers of not staying focused. It ensures the Company 
is pragmatic and consistent, and using local resources and 
people as necessary. There are regular checks made on the 
environmental parameters by independent third parties 
and government departments. No issues were highlighted 
in the year. See further details in the Corporate Social 
Responsibility Report on page 25.
e)	
The Board of Directors’ intention is to behave responsibly and 
ensure that the business operates in a responsible manner 
within the high standards of business conduct and good 
governance. Our Company ensures that we meet standards 
expected by our Regulators in order to ensure that our license 
to operate is maintained. The Company has regular contact 
with the environmental authorities to ensure the Company 
complies in all aspects with the government standards 
required for the operation of the mine in Kazakhstan.
There is a policy in place for whistle blowing and this ensures 
that employees feel empowered to raise concerns in 
confidence and without fear of unfair treatment. Employees 
can report anonymously any areas that are of concern to the 
compliance officer in charge of monitoring fraud, money 
laundering and bribery.
The Audit Committee as a whole ensures that the processes 
in place are adequate.
f)	
We aim to act fairly between members and act for all 
shareholders. The Company does have a controlling 
shareholder. However, their conduct is controlled by a 
relationship agreement which aims to ensure that they act in 
a fair, transparent and responsible manner. All shareholders 
are welcome at the Annual General Meeting to express their 
views. The Company website has a facility to obtain regular 
feedback from all shareholders.

Company environmental checks
Each of the Company’s facilities as is required by the government 
authorities was environmentally monitored on a quarterly basis by 
accredited outsourced companies. This included the following 
checks which were all within environmental standards set:
•	
Checks were made on the water at surface and sub-surface 
levels to ensure that it was within safe limits, within both the 
production site and the tailings dump site – no incidences 
were noted during the year and as at the date of this report.
•	
Checks were regularly made on the air quality at the 
production site, to include testing of the air extraction 
systems at the crushing and grinding plant, laboratory and 
transfer conveyors. Appropriate repairs were carried out 
during the year if there was any deviation from the accepted 
norms - no incidences noted.
•	
Soil samples were analysed at the tailings dumps to ensure 
that there was no adverse effects on the environment – no 
incidences noted.
Of primary importance to the Company is to ensure that the 
tailings dam and water discharges are within environmentally safe 
limits. The facility has a system in place that provides treatment 
and discharge of mine water into the surface reservoir – quarterly 
testing is done to ensure all required standards are met. This is 
reported to the authorities on a quarterly basis, again there were 
no incidents to report.
The Company has systems to control the processing of waste in a 
controlled and environmentally compliant manner. All household 
waste produced is disposed of to specialised landfill sites. Tyres 
are temporarily stored prior to removal to a specialised site. 
Hazardous waste such as Mercury is carefully sent for recycling as 
are plastic waste from plastic packaging and other plastic waste 
from pipes cuttings and geomembrane to reduce the amount 
being sent to the landfill sites. Metal scraps and exhausted oils are 
recycled as far as possible on the production site.
The Company has complied with its environmental management 
obligations in all respects.
Health and safety
AltynGold is pleased to report that during 2025 as in the prior year 
there were no accidents at the Sekisovskoye mine. The Company 
maintains its first aid rooms to the highest standards and ensures

Climate change and our approach to the 
environment
The Company’s policies outline our commitment to environmental 
responsibility. Safeguarding the environment and training our 
employees to minimise the environmental impact of our activities 
are important aspects of our business. We remain committed to 
achieving the highest environmental standards.
The Company has reviewed its obligations under the guidelines 
and framework as noted within the Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and its obligations under 
the Companies Act to comply with climate change disclosures 
of actions it is taking in relation to the impacts of climate change, 
(CFD). The TCFD framework has been devised to allow companies 
to disclose the potential and actual impacts on the business of 
climate-related risks, see report on page 18.
As part of the review the Company has assessed the impact of the 
environmental code in Kazakhstan that may have an impact on the 
operations, finances and reporting required by the Company. The 
environmental and ecology department in the Company reported 
that no significant issues were noted in relation to the reports sent 
on a regular basis to the relevant authorities on air, water and soil 
contamination levels.
The main points are listed below:
•	
Environmental violations are to be assessed over a period of 
30 years.
•	
Each Company is to be designated to a category based on 
the potential impact on the environment. Baurgold has been 
designated to the first category, and Altyn MM to the second. 
There are more stringent controls on the first category.
•	
The enterprises in category one are obliged to accept the 
best available technologies on a list that is approved by 
the government authorities, and failure to do so will result in 
penalties.

28   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
•	
The government has introduced a scaled increase in the 
charges for environmental pollution, from 2025 they will 
double, doubling again from the level in 2025 in 2028 and 
again in 2031 from the level in 2028.
•	
It is recommended that large polluters in category one 
(producing Co2 in excess of 500tons) implement automated 
monitoring systems.
•	
Fines and penalties have been increased as well as the use of 
only licensed waste carriers.
From a review conducted by the Board the Company has 
complied with the requirements of the environmental law as 
outlined above. The Board remains committed to reduce its 
carbon footprint and will keep this constantly under review.
During the year the following additional environmental measures 
were implemented:
•	
The Company is on a rolling program to replace existing 
lighting with lower energy using LED fittings.
•	
The Company is implementing more efficient production 
processes, reviewing processes in each area by conducting 
energy audits.
•	
In the mine workings regular service checks ensures that the 
dust extraction and pollution levels are reduced.
Greenhouse gas reporting
The calculations are prepared by using the parameters as set 
and approved by the Minister of Environmental Protection in 
Kazakhstan, which has strict guidelines and statutory requirements 
in relation to the measurement of emissions, and are in compliance 
with GHG Emissions by Scope 1, 2, and 3. The GHG emissions 
scope is established to ensure a comprehensive assessment of 
GHG emissions and identify opportunities to reduce emissions 
at and off-site facilities. The GHG Protocol has been used for 
over 20 years under the GHG Protocol , a comprehensive, global 
set of standards for measuring and managing GHG emissions 
across various industries and ownership types. The GHG Protocol 
supports the most widely used GHG emissions accounting 
standards worldwide. We report all the emission sources required 
under “The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ 
Reports) Regulations 2013”.
Carbon emissions are the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent 
emissions (CO2e) emitted during the reporting period as a result of 
operational activities undertaken by the business. The Company 
uses the total CO2e emission conversion factor, which includes 
other greenhouse gas emissions expressed in terms of CO2 and 
based on their relative global warming potential (GWP).
The emissions as recorded below relate entirely to the Company’s 
activities in Kazakhstan. The head office function in the UK has a 
very small carbon foot print. Data in relation to diesel, coal and 
electricity is gathered by the environmental department and 
passed to the accounting department to check, and prepare the 
relevant calculations.
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), are classified as either direct 
or indirect and which are divided further into Scope 1, Scope 2 
and Scope 3 emissions. Direct GHG emissions are emissions from 
sources that are owned or controlled by the Company. Indirect 
GHG emissions are emissions that are a consequence of the 
activities of the Company but that occur at sources owned or 
controlled by other entities.
Scope 1 emissions
Direct emissions controlled by the Company arising from plant.
Scope 2 emissions
Indirect emissions attributable to the Company due to its 
consumption of purchased electricity.
Scope 3 emissions
Other indirect emissions associated with activities that support or 
supply towards the Company’s operations.

account for scope 2 emissions as previously reported
The energy consumption used to calculate emissions was 
64,772kwh (2024: 44,520kwh) purchased from external resources. 
This has increased as a consequence of the expansion of the 
processing plant and associated infrastructure.

Indirect energy emissions – Scope 3
Scope 3 – Other Indirect Emissions – are indirect emissions 
associated with the company’s activities but originating from 
sources owned or controlled by other organisations. These 
sources of emissions include, for example, the production of 
raw materials and fuels consumed, the transportation of goods, 
and the use of manufactured products by consumers. This also 
includes other sources of indirect emissions, such as employee 
vehicles, etc. In other words, GHG emissions from Scope 3 include 
indirect emissions from value chain activities not included in 
Scopes 1 and 2.
Indirect Scope 3 emissions under the GHG Protocol are divided 
into 15 different categories. This multi-channel division allows 
for easier accounting of all potential greenhouse gas emissions. 
These 15 categories are also divided into two types of flows in the 
supply chain: upstream and downstream: Upstream emissions 
and downstream emissions respectively.
The relevant categories for the Company are:
Category 1 – Purchased goods and services. This takes into 
account emissions from transport vehicles during the delivery of 
purchased goods and services of the reporting company.
Category 6 – Business and travel trips of employees This takes into 
account emissions from business trips and travel expenses of the 
reporting company’s employees, which may arise as a result of 
trips:
•	
by car
•	
by bus
•	
railway transport
•	
by air
Category 7 – Employee commuting. This category includes 
GHG emissions from the reporting company’s employees’ 
transportation between home and work during the reporting year. 
These emissions may arise as a result of trips:
•	
car
•	
by bus

Measures to reduce GHG emissions
As a brief background in 2021 the IPCC assessment was that 
climate change will intensify in all regions in the coming decades, 
and without immediate and large-scale action to reduce GHG 
emissions, limiting global warming to 2 °C will be unachievable. 
Therefore, to implement the Paris Agreement, all parties 
submitted their climate action plans-Nationally Determined 
Contributions (NDCs), and would update them every five years. 
On August 2, 2016, Kazakhstan signed the Paris Agreement and 
ratified it on December 6, 2016.
Kazakhstan commitment was as follows:
•	
an unconditional reduction of GHG emissions by 15% by 
December 2030 compared to 1990;
•	
a conditional reduction of GHG emissions by 25% by 
December 2030 compared to 1990, subject to additional 
international investment, access to the Low Carbon 
Technology Transfer Mechanism, funds from the Green 
Climate Fund and the Flexible Mechanism for Countries with 
Economies in Transition.
The authorities have been tightening environmental laws, with 
increasing severity of penalties for noncompliance commencing 
in 2025 to 2031.
The Company is taking measures to reduce its direct and 
indirect production of GHG emissions and is complying with the 
environmental regulations by:
•	
Improving the energy efficiency of production. This is being 
achieved by aiming to use more efficient technologies and 
processes, reducing energy consumption, and reducing 
harmful emissions;
•	
The Company is looking into the use of renewable energy 
sources and use of electrical vehicle to reduce the 
consumption and emissions of fossil fuels such as oil and gas;
•	
The use of carbon dioxide capture and utilisation technology. 
This involves capturing and then converting carbon dioxide 
into safer forms;
•	
Conducting an energy audit of the premises to analyse 
energy consumption and develop recommendations for its 
optimisation.

STATEMENT
Geological Setting
The sites are located in a complex geological setting that has 
been subject to much alteration and metamorphism. The projects 
are exploiting gold that is hosted in a number of pipe-like breccia 
bodies that have intruded into the Rudny Altai poly-metallic belt, 
which is part of the larger Central Asian Orogenic Belt.
Ten breccias have been mapped in and around the Sekisovskoye 
Mine. Of these, seven breccias fall within the Sekisovskoye Mine 
licence boundary. Mineralisation is hosted in the breccia bodies 
and includes free gold and gold sulphides. Gold is embedded 
in the cement of the explosive hydrothermal breccias and is 
smeared across the lithology. The breccias are cut by barren 
igneous dykes that are typically planar and dip steeply to the 
northeast.
The Teren-Sai Project is made up of 15 targets based on historical 
exploration. Of these 15 targets, Altyn has identified 3 areas for 
exploration that they see as significant plots 2, 4 and 5, consisting 
of various identified targets.
Exploration
Sekisovskoye
Recent exploration refers to all exploration carried out since the 
project was acquired by AltynGold (then known as Hambledon). 
The Sekisovskoye Mine has undergone numerous exploration 
programmes including geophysics, trenching and diamond 
drilling. Recent exploration has consisted of several drilling 
campaigns and a total of 1,490 drillholes have been completed. 
These drillholes include both surface and underground drilling 
but exclude all drilling prior to acquisition of the Sekisovskoye 
Mine by Hambledon. Of these drillholes, a total of 982 holes have 
been drilled between 2011 and 2019 and these form the basis of 
the orebody modelling and underground resource estimation 
Overview
Ernst and Young Advisory Services (Pty) Ltd (“EY”) were 
commissioned by the directors of AltynGold Plc (“Altyn”) 
in 2019 to prepare an Independent Competent Persons’ 
Reports (“CPR”) on the Sekisovskoye Gold Mine (“the 
Sekisovskoye Mine”) and Teren-Sai gold project (“the 
Teren-Sai Project”).
Both the Sekisovskoye Mine which is an operating mine 
targeting gold and silver, and Teren-Sai which is an 
exploration licence area are located in eastern Kazakhstan, 
adjacent to the Sekisovka village.
EY has compiled the reports in accordance with the 
Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, 
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 edition (“the 
JORC Code”). In the case of the Sekisovskoye mine it is an 
update of the CPR completed in 2014, entitled “Independent 
Competent Persons’ Report on the Sekisovskoye Gold 
Project prepared for Goldbridges Global Resources Plc, 
(subsequently renamed AltynGold Plc)” as at 31 May 2014 by 
Venmyn Deloitte (Pty) Ltd (“Venmyn Deloitte”) referred to as 
“the 2014 CPR”. In the case of Teren-Sai this will be a maiden 
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate for the Project 
based on exploration completed by AltynGold since granting 
of the subsoil use contract in 2016.
The report describes reviews and documents the technical 
and economic parameters of the Sekisovskoye mine and 
Teren- Sai Project, in order to identify all factors of a technical 
and economic nature that would influence the future viability 
of the project.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
used in the CPR. Exploration and orebody modelling has focused 
increasingly on delineation of the orebody at depth and on infill 
drilling to improve geological confidence in the underground 
Mineral Resources since closure of the open pit. More recent 
exploration campaigns have consisted of almost exclusively 
underground drilling.
Teren-Sai
Recent exploration refers to all exploration carried out since the 
project was acquired by Altyn in 2016. Recent exploration carried 
out by AltynGold includes pitting, trenching and diamond drilling. 
Exploration has focused on the two breccias within the area and 
includes a total of 41 drill holes completed by AltynGold. A further 
12 historical drill holes are included in the geological database. 
These historical holes were drilled in 1993. The 53 drill holes 
drilled in the area form the basis of the geological modelling and 
resource estimation used in this CPR. Drilling has been completed 
to a depth of approximately 465m below surface.
In relation to the more recent exploration activities since 2019 
these are detailed in the Chief Executives report on page 8.
Mineral Resource Estimates
Mineral Resource classification is based on the level of 
geoscientific confidence and primarily, drilling density. Due to the 
nature of the deposit, which is generally narrow and extending in 
a pipe-like deposit at depth, drilling and the resultant number of 
samples is denser near the surface and becomes less dense with 
depth.
Sekisovskoye
Measured and Indicated Resources are estimated from the 
current working depth of -185masl to a depth of -400masl. 
Inferred Mineral Resources have been estimated from -400masl 
to -800masl. An Exploration Result has been estimated from 
-800masl to -1,500masl.
Teren-Sai
Measured Resources from surface (approximately +490masl) to 
a depth of +260masl and Indicated Resources from +260masl 
to a depth of +25masl. No Inferred Mineral Resources have 
been estimated. An Exploration Result has been estimated from 
+25masl to -375masl. The open pit to underground boundary is at 
+350masl.

The Ore Reserves have been estimated from surface (approximately +430masl) to a depth of -400masl. All the Mineral Resource blocks 
that are above the Mineral Resource cut-off grade were included in the Ore Reserve, as no selective mining has been assumed for the Ore 
Reserve estimation. The Ore Reserve calculation includes a 5% dilution factor, 2% mining loss and 100% extraction factor. Based on the 
estimated Ore Reserves.

For Teren-Sai the ore reserve calculation includes a dilution factor, mining loss and extraction factor. The average estimated losses and 
dilution are mining losses of 5% for the open pit and 2% for the underground and mining dilution of 10% for the open pit and 5% for the 
underground. An average mining extraction factor of 90% has been utilised for the Ore Reserve estimation.

34   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Mineral asset valuation
The assumption of no selective mining was informed by both 
the mining method and by guidance included in the Kazakhstan 
mining legislation, which does not allow for the selective mining 
of blocks above the cut-off grade approved by the Committee 
of Geology of Kazakhstan. Therefore, no pay limit was used for 
mining selectivity and the definition of Ore Reserves.
The key modifying factors used are as follows:
•	
long term prices for gold and silver of USD1,280/oz and 
USD17/oz, respectively; the current prices are trending 
around US$4,800/oz;
•	
a processing recovery of 83% for gold and 73% for silver, 
which is in line with the current production.
•	
an average underground mining cost of USD425/oz, which 
is based on a longer term projection based on an increased 
level of ore mined. The current cash cost is in the range of 
US$1,250/oz.
EY estimated the preferred value of Sekisovskoye Mine as the 
average value between the Income-based approach and the 
Market-based approach. Therefore, the preferred value for 
Sekisovskoye Mine is estimated between US$383m to US$415m 
and that of Teren-Sai as estimated as between US$92m and 
US$104m.
Summary
JORC gold mineral resources total 6.68Moz. In addition, a further 
1.74Moz have been identified as an Exploration Result below 
the – 800masl. While these will require further exploration 
drilling to be potentially upgraded to Mineral Resources, this 
result does highlight the potential for a larger Mineral Resource 
than is currently estimated. Assuming that this potential were to 
be realised, the current projects as developed would contain 
approximately 8.42Moz of gold.
In addition the JORC gold resources at Teren-Sai total 1.48Moz 
with a further 1.03Moz as an exploration target.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Our Corporate Governance Statement, explains how AltynGold’s governance framework supports the principles of integrity, strong 
ethical values and professionalism integral to our business. The Board recognises that we are accountable to shareholders for good 
corporate governance, and this report, together with the Reports of the Audit and Remuneration Committees, seeks to demonstrate our 
commitment to high standards of governance that are recognised and understood by all.
The Company is keenly aware of its obligations under the London Stock Exchange disclosure and transparency rules and is continually 
reviewing its corporate structure. Given the size of the Company it is following the guidance in the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) 
Corporate Governance Code (2023 Code) instead of the 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code. The Company believes that the policies 
in place ensures that there are high standards of accountability and corporate governance. The areas of non-compliance with the code 
are noted below.
Full details in relation to the composition of the Board are given on pages 39 to 40. There are in total three Non-Executive Directors on the 
Board, and three Executive Directors together with a Chairperson. The Board considers two Non-Executive Directors to be independent 
of management and exercise independent judgment. In the case of Ashar Qureshi as he has served more than nine years as a Non-
Executive Director he is no longer regarded as Independent.
Due to recent changes in the Board, the composition falls outside the accepted criteria of the 2023 code, and it is in the process of 
recruiting and changing the Board structure. It is also reviewing the composition of its committees to ensure that it has the right balance 
of skills, independence, experience and diversity. The process of finding the right fit for the roles is time consuming, however the 
Company is planning to have the new structure in place during 2026, with an equal number of Executive and Non-Executive Directors. No 
external annual review was undertaken during the year as the Board is in the process of making changes, and will conduct this exercise 
once the restructure is complete.
The Company is aware of the growing importance on climate change and has a Board committee to monitor the Company’s impact on 
the environment. The environmental social and governance committee is composed of Vladimir Shkolnik, a non-executive director on 
AltynGold’s Board of Directors since 2017 and by Andrew Terry.
In the opinion of the Directors these Annual Financial Statements present a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Group’s 
position and prospects and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group’s position and performance, 
business model and strategy. This is presented in more detail in the CEO review and review of financial performance on pages 8-12. The 
respective responsibilities of the Directors and the Auditor in connection with the Financial Statements are explained in the Statement of 
Directors’ Responsibilities and the Auditor’s Report.
The Board delegate’s specific responsibilities to the Audit and Remuneration Committees, full details of their responsibilities are detailed 
below. The Company currently does not have a Nomination Committee, and given its stage of development does not believe it is 
appropriate. Full details of the responsibilities of the committees are detailed below.
Day-to-day management and the implementation of strategies agreed by the Board are delegated to the Executive Directors. The 
Group’s reporting structure below Board level is designed so that decisions are made by the most appropriate people in a timely 
manner. Management teams report to members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Directors and other managers give regular 
briefings to the Board in relation to business issues and developments. Clear and measurable KPIs are in place to enable the Board to 
monitor progress. These policies and procedures enable the Board to make informed decisions on key issues including strategy and risk 
management.
The Chair leads the Board and is responsible for its overall effectiveness, ensuring adequate time is available for discussion of all agenda 
items, in particular strategic issues, promoting openness and debate, ensuring all Directors, particularly the Non-Executive Directors, 
are able to contribute, and facilitating a constructive relationship between the Executive and Non-Executive Directors. The current Chair 
is not independent as he together with the two Executive Directors are the controlling shareholders of the Company. Their conduct is 
controlled by a relationship agreement that will ensure that they act in a way for the benefit of shareholders as a whole. The Non-Executive 
Directors will also ensure that the principles of the agreement are adhered to.
The Chief Executive Officer has responsibility for all operational matters which include the implementation of strategy and policies 
approved by the Board. The senior Independent Non-Executive Directors provides a sounding board for the Chair and also acts as an 
intermediary for other Directors and shareholders.
In terms of culture and engagement the Executive Directors liaise on a regular basis with the workforce and key suppliers and customer 
and reports back to the Board. The human resources department has a framework to improve the way in which employee views are 
communicated to the Board, how employees engage with values and culture, and how we align strategy with our workforce development 
and reward policies. Details in relation to the Company’s corporate social responsibility are given on page 25, and engagement with other 
stakeholders in the Directors S172 Statement on page 23.
The Board has adopted procedures for the identification, authorisation (where appropriate) and monitoring of situations which may give 
rise to a conflict of interest. There is a relationship agreement with the major shareholder which defines their responsibility if a situation 
arises. The Board has reviewed the procedures and is satisfied that they are operating effectively.
The Company’s Articles of Association contain powers of removal, appointment, election and re-election of Directors and provide that at 
least one-third of the Board must retire at each Annual General Meeting and each Director must retire by rotation every 3 years.
There is no formal induction programme for new Directors, however they are given a full briefing and familiarised with all aspects of the 
Company’s operations. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to cover legal proceedings against Directors 
and Officers acting in that capacity.

During the year the Company re-assessed its obligations under its rehabilitation program to ensure that all costs are being accounted for

Future developments and post balance sheet events
The Company’s future plans are detailed in the Chief Executive Officer’s review on pages 8 to 11. 

There were no reportable events after the end of the financial year.
Communication with shareholders
Communications with shareholders are considered important by the Directors. The Directors regularly speak to investors and analysts 
during the year. Press releases have been issued throughout the year; the Company’s website www.altyngold.uk is regularly updated and 
contains a wide range of information about the Company. Enquiries from individuals on matters relating to their shareholdings and the 
business of the Company are dealt with informatively and promptly. The Directors are responsible for ensuring the annual report and the 
financial statements are made available on a website. Financial statements are published on the Company’s website in accordance with 
legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements, which may vary from legislation 
in other jurisdictions. The maintenance and integrity of the Company’s website is the responsibility of the Directors. The Directors’ 
responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.
Internal control
The Directors are responsible for the Group’s system of internal control and review of its effectiveness annually. The Board has designed 
the Group’s system of internal control in order to provide the Directors with reasonable assurance that its assets are safeguarded, that 
transactions are authorised and properly recorded and that material errors and irregularities are either prevented or would be detected 
within a timely period. 
The key elements of the control system in operation are: 
•	
The Board meets regularly with a formal schedule of matters reserved to it for decision and has put in place an organisational 
structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility and with appropriate delegation of authority; 
•	
There are established procedures for planning, approval and monitoring of capital expenditure and information systems for 
monitoring the Group’s financial performance against approved budgets and forecasts; 
•	
 UK Financial reporting is closely monitored by members of the Board to enable them to assess risk and address the adequacy of 
measures in place for its monitoring and control. The Kazakh operations are closely supervised by the Board reviewing monthly, half 
yearly and annual financial reports from the Directors and senior officers in Kazakhstan. This is normally supplemented by regular visits 
of the UK based finance officer to Kazakh operations which include checking the integrity of financial information supplied to the UK. 
The financial officer is ultimately responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are then reviewed by 
the Directors. 
During the period, the Audit Committee has reviewed the effectiveness of internal controls as described above, no changes were 
required to be made to the existing procedures.

43
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
There are no significant issues disclosed in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 (and up to the date of approval of the 
report) concerning material internal control issues. The Directors confirm that the Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of 
internal control as described during the period.
Going concern
The Group increased turnover in the year to US$175m from US$97m, generating an adjusted EBITDA of US$101.4m (2024 US$50.9m) 
largely driven by the increased price of gold moving up from an average of US$2,400oz to US$3,500oz. See note 13. 

The Board has reviewed the Group’s forecast cash flows for the period to June 2027, which include the capital and interest repayments 
to be made in relation to the Group’s borrowings. Capital and operating costs are based on approved budgets and latest forecasts and 
development plans. These have been based on costs that have been fixed with suppliers where applicable and other costs that include an 
inflationary allowance. The gold price used in the forecasts has been based on an average of consensus forecasts, which is lower than that 
currently being achieved at US$4,000-US$4,075oz. 

Based on the Group’s cash flow forecasts, the Directors believe that the net cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the 
ongoing operational finance requirements of the Company. The cash generation will be higher in 2026 due to the increased price of gold 
per oz which is trending around US$4,800oz. 

The forecasts have been sensitised and allow for a fall in production and a fall in the price achievable for gold and silver per oz. In each 
separate case the Group would not experience a cash shortfall. If both production and prices were to decrease by 18% from forecast 
cash flows. The model shows that the Company would still be cash positive in these circumstances. In the unforeseen circumstance that 
there were larger movements in these factors than the Group has anticipated in cost or a further reduction in revenues it would look to 
manage its resources, reducing or adjusting the timing of discretionary capital investment and managing its payables in order to maintain 
liquidity as appropriate. 

The Board therefore considers it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee currently comprises of two Directors - Ashar Qureshi and Vladimir Shkolnik. The Committee, which 
meets as required, is responsible for determining the contract terms, remuneration and other benefits of the Executive Directors. The 
remuneration of the Non-Executive directors is determined by the Board within the limits set out in the articles of association. None of 
the Committee members has any personal financial interest in the matters to be decided (other than as shareholders), potential conflicts 
of interest arising from cross-Directorships, or any day-to-day involvement in running the business. The Committee has access to 
professional advice from inside and outside the Company at the Company’s expense. The Committee met in January 2026, and after 
considering professional advice recommended an increase in salary for the newly appointed CFO, and are considering the introduction 
of an incentive scheme once further information has been received The total annual remuneration comprised of the base salaries are 
expected to be in the region of US$390,000 for the year ended 31 December 2026.
Details of the remuneration paid in the year are shown below.
Approach to recruitment remuneration
All appointments to the Board are made on merit. The components of a new Director’s remuneration package would comprise at present 
a base salary. The Company will pay such levels of remuneration to new Directors that would enable the Company to attract appropriately 
skilled and experienced individuals that is not in the opinion of the Remuneration Committee excessive.
Service contracts
All Executive Directors have full-time contracts of employment with the Company. Non-Executive Directors have contracts of service. 
No Director has a contract of employment or contract of service with the Company, its joint venture or associated companies with a fixed 
term which exceeds three years. Directors’ notice periods are set in line with market practice and of a length considered sufficient to 
ensure an effective handover of duties should a Director leave the Company.
All Directors’ “contracts” as amended from time to time, have run from the date of appointment. Service contracts are kept at the 
registered office.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS OF ALTYNGOLD PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of AltynGold Plc (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 
31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated 
and Parent Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the 
Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting 
policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK-adopted international 
accounting standards and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the 
Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion: 
•	
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 31 December 
2025 and of the group’s profit for the year then ended; 
•	
the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards; 
•	
the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting 
standards and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and 
•	
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities 
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. 
We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our 
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the 
preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group’s and parent company’s 
ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
•	
Testing the integrity of the forecast model, checking the mathematical accuracy and completeness of the model, including 
challenging the appropriateness of estimates and assumptions with reference to empirical data and external evidence. Our testing 
focused on the following key assumptions: gold price, production costs, gold grade, recoveries and foreign exchange rates and we 
assessed their consistency with Board approved budgets and the mine development plan, as applicable;
•	
Comparing budgets to actual figures achieved to assess the reliability of management’s forecasts; 
•	
Evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis and performing our own sensitivity analysis in respect of the key assumptions 
underpinning the forecasts. Where applicable, we assessed the validity of any mitigating actions identified by management; 
•	
Confirming the terms of all borrowing facilities in place and that the terms are not breached. Reviewing the contractual repayments 
to check these are accurately reflected in the cash flow forecast; and
•	
Assessing if the going concern disclosures in the financial statements are appropriate and accurately reflect management’s going 
assessment.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually 
or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s or parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at 
least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this 
report.
Our application of materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The quantitative and qualitative thresholds for materiality 
determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures.
Materiality applied to the group financial statements was $1,500,000 (2024: $1,150,000) with performance materiality set at $1,050,000 
(2024: $800,000), being 70% (2024: 70%) of group materiality. We have chosen to apply 70% for the purposes of the performance 
materiality calculation as this is our fourth audit and no material adjustments or significant control deficiencies were identified in prior 
years. Overall materiality was based on 1.5% of the group’s average revenue for the financial years ended 2023, 2024 and 2025. (2024: 
1.5% of group revenue for the year). We believe revenue to be the key metric in determining materiality and a key performance indicator 
for the group, however, current year revenues are significantly higher in comparison to prior year revenues due to a significant increase 
in gold prices in the current year. In order to prevent the sharp increase in current year revenues resulting in a higher than appropriate 
materiality we have utilized the average revenue of the past three years as the benchmark for our materiality calculations to ensure that 
significant classes of transactions are captured in our audit testing.
STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

54   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatements. At the 
planning stage, materiality is used to determine the financial statement areas that are included within the scope of our audit.
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and 
undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit 
and the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample 
sizes.
In determining performance materiality, we considered the following factors:
•	
the consistency in the level of judgement required in key accounting estimates;
•	
the stability in key management personnel; and 
•	
the level of centralisation in the Group’s financial reporting controls and processes.
For each significant component in the scope of our audit, we allocated a component performance materiality based on the maximum 
aggregate component performance materiality. The range of performance materiality allocated across components was between 
$800,000 and $850,000 (2024: $600,000 to $700,000), being a percentage of between 76% and 81% of group performance 
materiality. 
Materiality applied to the parent company’s financial statements was $1,250,000 (2024: $1,000,000). The benchmark for determining 
materiality of the parent company was 0.8% (2024: 0.75%) of the Company’s gross assets. 0.8% was applied to ensure that Company 
materiality did not exceed overall group materiality. 
Performance materiality was set at $800,000, being 64% of company overall materiality. In determining performance materiality, we 
have chosen to apply 64% for the purposes of the performance materiality calculation as this is our fourth year as auditor and no material 
adjustments or significant control deficiencies were identified in prior years.
We agreed with the audit committee that we would report all individual audit differences identified for the group during the course of 
our audit in excess of $70,000 (2024: $50,000). We also agreed to report any other audit misstatements below that threshold that we 
believe warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
Our approach to the audit
In designing our audit, we determined materiality, as above, and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements. In 
particular, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgement by the directors and considered future events 
that are inherently uncertain. 
We note that the group has significant carrying values in both intangible assets and property, plant & equipment which is underpinned by 
the quantity and quality of resources being mined and exploration projects. Both of these areas are inherently complicated and require 
a significant amount of judgement by management. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including 
evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by management that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 
Of the group’s five components, including the parent company, three were material and subject to full scope audit for group purposes. 
The remaining components were not considered material and we performed specific scope procedures, as appropriate. The two 
full scope components were located in Kazakhstan and audited by the same component auditor. All work with respect to the two 
components has been performed by the component auditor under our instruction and we reviewed the component auditor’s files via 
virtual conferences. The parent company audit was conducted by us using a team with specific experience of auditing mining entities 
and publicly listed entities. The Senior Statutory Auditor interacted regularly with the component audit team during all stages of the audit 
and was responsible for the scope and direction of the audit process. This, in conjunction with additional procedures performed, gave us 
sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support the audit opinion of the group and parent company financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements 
of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, 
including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the 
efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter 
How our scope addressed this matter
Valuation of Property, plant and equipment (Note 15)
There is a risk that the Property, Plant and Equipment (“PPE”), 
including mining properties, are valued incorrectly. This is a 
material account balance to the group financial statements and 
as of 31 December 2025, PPE was valued at $87.9 million (2024: 
$72.6 million).
There is a significant risk that the carrying value of these assets are 
not recoverable and that these amounts should be impaired. 
There are further risks that licenses and mining rights may be 
discontinued or non-renewed. The value in these assets is 
derived from the rights and obligations of the mining licenses at 
Sekisovskoye.
Given the significant estimates regarding gold prices, reserves 
and resources, production rates, operating costs and capital 
expenditure as well as economic variables such as discount rates, 
and the material value of PPE we consider the carrying value of 
PPE to be a significant audit risk and a key audit matter.
Our work in this area included: 
•	
Assessing and reviewing indicators of impairment per IAS 36 
and considering whether any apply to the group.
•	
Obtaining, reviewing and challenging management’s 
impairment review, including operational and financial data 
for indicators of impairment.
•	
Assessing the appropriateness and accuracy of 
management’s ability to forecast by reviewing estimates 
and inputs including commodity prices, production, 
operating costs, capital costs, discount rates and foreign 
exchange rates. Obtaining corroborating and contradictory 
evidence for management assumptions.
•	
Engaging an auditor expert to assess the upgrades to 
the processing facility, mine plan and mining techniques 
which predominately form the basis for estimates and 
assumptions used in the impairment model. The expert 
visited the mine site and corroborated technical information 
used within the mine and production plans as well as 
confirming the production capacity following the expansion 
of the processing facility.
•	
Comparing the proven and probable reserves included in 
the models to the independent Competent Person’s Report 
and performed procedures to assess their independence 
and competence. This included the use of our own expert 
to attend the site and discuss amongst other matters the 
progress of the mine plan and the quality of grades being 
mined; and
•	
Visiting the mine site in the year and observing operations.
Key Observation:
Based on the audit procedures performed, we consider 
management’s impairment assessment of PPE as at 
31 December 2025 to be reasonable.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
Key Audit Matter 
How our scope addressed this matter
Valuation of exploration costs capitalised as intangible assets under IFRS 6 (Note 14)
Intangible assets comprise a material balance sheet item and 
are valued at $20.6m (2024: $14.9m). The recoverability of these 
intangible assets is key to the long-term success of the group. 
There is a significant risk that the carrying values of intangible 
assets are not recoverable and should be impaired. The recorded 
balances of capitalised costs should truly reflect their economic 
value and be valued accurately within the context of IFRS 6.
The carrying value will be assessed in accordance with the 
following criteria:
•	
The Group holds sufficient title to the exploration licences 
which will verify existence, rights and obligations and 
whether the group has satisfactorily met any terms and 
conditions contained therein;
•	
Exploration and evaluation work to date has indicated the 
existence of commercially viable quantities of mineral 
resource; and
•	
Costs capitalised during the year are in accordance 
with IFRS 6, and the disclosed accounting policy and is 
consistent with previous periods.
Significant judgement and estimation is required by management 
to assess the recoverability of the balances and as a result there 
is the risk that these balances are incorrectly valued.
The Directors have carried out an assessment of impairment 
indicators during the year and concluded that there are no 
indicators of impairment. There are a number of estimates and 
judgements used by management in assessing the indicators of 
impairment including non-financial and financial data.
Therefore, given the subjectivity involved in determining whether 
there is an indication of impairment, the carrying value of the 
intangible assets is considered to be a key audit matter.
Our work in this area included:
•	
Reviewing of the exploration and evaluation expenditures 
to assess their eligibility for capitalisation under IFRS 6 by 
corroborating to the original source documentation and 
assessing whether an asset should be reclassified to mining 
property to be amortised.
•	
We obtained and reviewed the current exploration license 
documentation, including the stated expiry date.
•	
Enquiring of management over the future plans for each 
license including obtaining cashflow projections where 
necessary.
•	
Reviewing the indicators of impairment listed in IFRS 6 
which included a review of internal / external drilling results 
produced during the year.
•	
Reviewing the key external reports for indications of 
impairment, together with an assessment of any other 
indicators of impairment.
•	
Comparing the resources included in the models to the 
independent Competent Person’s Report and perform 
procedures to assess their independence and competence.
Key Observation:
Based on the audit procedures performed, we consider 
management’s impairment assessment of intangible assets at 
31 December 2025 to be reasonable.
We draw your attention to the exploration mining licence at Teren 
Sai which was due to expire in March 2026 but has been extended 
for a further 3 months. During this period a formal production plan 
to the mining authorities will be prepared to obtain a 
long-term production licence. From our work, there are no 
indicators to suggest that the application will be unsuccessful.  
Should the licence not be successful, there is a risk the carrying 
value of assets are impaired.
Valuation of Investments and Intercompany Receivables (Parent Company only – Note 16)
The carrying value of investments in subsidiaries and 
intercompany receivables is ultimately dependent on the value of 
the underlying assets in those subsidiaries. The carrying value of 
these investments is currently $147.9 million (2024: $140.8m) and 
is material to the parent company financial statements.
Valuations for these assets are based on judgments and 
estimates made by the directors - which leads to a risk of 
misstatement. 
There is a risk that the accuracy, valuation and recovery of these 
investments is misstated as a result of inputs and assumptions 
tied to the underlying assets held by the subsidiaries. The 
valuation of investments in subsidiaries and intercompany 
receivables is therefore considered to be a key audit matter.
Our work in this area included:
•	
Confirming ownership of investments by obtaining share 
certificates or equivalent.
•	
Review of impairment indicators as set out in IAS 36 and IFRS 
9 to identify the presence of any indicators that could trigger 
impairment.
•	
Obtaining the impairment review for all investments held 
from management and corroborate the assumptions made 
to third party evidence; and
•	
Reviewing the value of the net investment in subsidiaries 
against the underlying assets and verify and corroborate the 
judgements/estimates used by management to assess the 
recoverability of investments and intercompany receivables.
Key Observation:
Based on the audit procedures performed, we consider 
management’s valuation of investments and intercompany 
receivables at 31 December 2025 to be reasonable.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 
thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group and parent 
company financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we 
do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider 
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, 
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are 
required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we 
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 
We have nothing to report in this regard. 
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 In our opinion the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies 
Act 2006.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 
•	
the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are 
prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 
•	
the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their environment obtained in the course of 
the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report. 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in 
our opinion: 
•	
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received 
from branches not visited by us; or 
•	
the parent company financial statements and the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited are not in agreement with 
the accounting records and returns; or
•	
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 
•	
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the group and 
parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the 
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error. 
In preparing the group and parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 
company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going 
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or 
have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 
level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our 
responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our 
procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
•	
We obtained an understanding of the group and parent company and the sector in which they operate to identify laws and 
regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding 
in this regard through detailed discussions with management about any potential instances of non-compliance with laws and 
regulations both in the UK and in overseas subsidiaries. We also selected a specific audit team based on experience with auditing 
entities within this industry of a similar size;
•	
We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the group and parent company to include elements of the significant 
laws and regulations relating to the industry, financial reporting framework, listing rules, tax legislation and environmental regulations 
in the UK and Kazakhstan;

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
•	
We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by 
the group and parent company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but were not limited to: 
–	
Holding discussions with management and those charged with governance to determine any known or suspected instances of 
non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud identified by them;
–	
Reviewing legal and professional fees for evidence of any litigation or claims against the group;
–	
Review of legal and regulatory correspondence; and
–	
Review of Board minutes
•	
We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the 
non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the potential for management bias 
was identified in relation to the carrying value of PPE (group), the valuation of capitalised exploration costs capitalised as intangible 
assets under IFRS 6 (group) and the valuation of investment and intercompany receivables (parent company). (see Key audit matters 
section above).
•	
As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures 
which included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating 
the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
•	
A local network firm was engaged to act as component auditors for group reporting purposes. As part of the group audit, we have 
communicated with component auditors the fraud risks associated with the group and the need for the component auditors to 
address the risk of fraud in their testing. We have reviewed the component auditor working papers and obtained responses to our 
group instructions from the component auditors.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material 
misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or 
regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware 
of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves 
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website 
at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 
Other matters which we are required to address
 We were appointed by the Audit committee on 19 January 2023 to audit the financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2022 
and subsequent financial periods. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 4 years. 
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the group or the parent company and we remain 
independent of the group and the parent company in conducting our audit.
Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee. 
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.  Our 
audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an 
auditor’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, 
other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

COMPANY STATEMENT OF 
CASH FLOWS
for the year ended 31 December 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
1. General information
AltynGold Plc (the “Company”) is a Company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The address of its 
registered office, and place of business of the Company and its subsidiaries is set out within the Company information on page 100 of this 
annual report. The principal activities of the Company and subsidiaries are set out on page 41 and the strategic review within this annual 
report.
2. Basis of preparation
The annual report is for the year ended 31 December 2025 and includes the consolidated and parent company’s financial statements. The 
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements 
of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards.
The financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies set out in note 4 which are consistent with all applicable IFRSs 
and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRSs. For these purposes, IFRSs comprises 
the standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting 
Interpretations Committee as adopted by the United Kingdom. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost 
convention, and at fair value for financial and non-financial asset and liabilities as appropriate. The financial statements are prepared on a 
going concern basis.
Going concern
The Group increased turnover in the year to US$175m from US$97m, generating an adjusted EBITDA of US$101.4m (2024 US$50.9m) 
largely driven by the increased price of gold moving up from an average of US$2,400oz to US$3,500oz. See note 13. 
The Board has reviewed the Group’s forecast cash flows for the period to June 2027, which include the capital and interest repayments 
to be made in relation to the Group’s borrowings. Capital and operating costs are based on approved budgets and latest forecasts and 
development plans. These have been based on costs that have been fixed with suppliers where applicable and other costs that include an 
inflationary allowance. The gold price used in the forecasts has been based on an average of consensus forecasts, which is lower than that 
currently being achieved at US$4,000-US$4,075oz. 
Based on the Group’s cash flow forecasts, the Directors believe that the net cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the 
ongoing operational finance requirements of the Company. The cash generation will be higher in 2026 due to the increased price of gold 
per oz which is trending around US$4,800oz. 
The forecasts have been sensitised and allow for a fall in production and a fall in the price achievable for gold and silver per oz. In each 
separate case the Group would not experience a cash shortfall. If both production and prices were to decrease by 18% from forecast 
cash flows, the model shows that the Company would still be cash positive in these circumstances. In the unforeseen circumstance that 
there were larger movements in these factors than the Group has anticipated in cost or a further reduction in revenues it would look to 
manage its resources, reducing or adjusting the timing of discretionary capital investment and managing its payables in order to maintain 
liquidity as appropriate. 
The Board therefore considers it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
3. Adoption of new and revised standards
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2025. They have been adopted and applied in preparing these financial statements as appropriate.
•	 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7);
•	 Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11
Standards and interpretations published, but not yet applicable for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2025, have not been applied 
in preparing these financial statements. The Company is reviewing the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations as 
noted to assess the potential impact on the financial statements they have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
•	 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements.
•	 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures.
4. Accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
Where a company has control over an investee, the investee is classified as a subsidiary. A company controls an investee if all three of the 
following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor 
to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a 
change in any of these elements of control.
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as if they formed a single 
entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2025

68   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
4. Accounting policies continued
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the acquisition method. In the statement 
of financial position, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the 
acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date 
on which control is obtained. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents amounts received for goods provided in the normal course of business, net of VAT and any other sales related taxes. 
The Company’s revenue is generated entirely from the sale of the gold and silver content of doré, (‘precious metal’). The doré is delivered 
to a precious metal refiner, based in Kazakhstan, and consistent with the prior year it purchased all precious metal produced. Title of the 
precious metal passes upon acceptance of the delivery from the Company to the refiner. Sales of precious metal are only recognised 
when the delivery has been accepted and title for the precious metal has accordingly been passed to the refiner. The Company does not 
hedge or otherwise enter into any derivatives in respect of its sales of gold. Sales are recorded at the actual selling price of the doré which 
is based on current market prices. The Company receives 90% less fees of the revenue on delivery of the dore to the refiner based on the 
spot dollar and gold and silver prices on the day of delivery. The balance is paid once the dore is refined into gold or silver and is usually 
paid with 14 days, based on the original gold price or silver price and spot price of the US dollar on the day of settlement.
Foreign currencies
The Company has prepared its financial statements in United States Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the companies in Kazakhstan 
is the Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT). The functional currency of the Company and AltynGold Holdings Limited is the United States Dollars (US$). 
The rates used to convert Pound Sterling and Kazakhstan Tenge into United States Dollar in these financial statements are as follows: 
US$ to Pound Sterling closing 1.34 (2024: 1.26), average 1.31 (2024:1.28), 
US$ to Kazakh Tenge closing 505.53 (2024: 523.54) average 521.59 (2024:469.44). 
The year end and average rates used for the Kazakh Tenge have been obtained from the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each respective entity are recorded at the rate of exchange 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at the closing 
rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising from the restatement of monetary assets and liabilities at the 
closing rate of exchange at the reporting date or from the settlement of monetary transactions at a rate different from that at which the 
asset or liability was recorded are dealt with through the statement of profit or loss.
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into US dollars, the Group’s presentational currency, at rates 
approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate 
ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at the opening rate and the results 
of overseas operations at the actual rate are recognised directly in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. The 
intercompany loans form a part of the Company’s investment in a foreign operation. The exchange difference arising on the intercompany 
loans on translation in the company income statement is being recognised in other comprehensive income which on consolidation is 
recognised in a separate component of equity until disposal of the foreign operations.
In the individual Parent Company financial statements foreign exchange gains/losses are recognised in the income statement.
Intangible assets
Externally acquired intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their 
expected economic life. 
In the case of Teren-Sai as this is an exploration project, amortisation will be applied once a production licence is obtained and 
commercial production is commenced. 
With regards to the purchased geological data there is no effect on the income statement at present as the amortisation costs of the 
geological data are capitalised. The costs remaining will be written off over the Teren-Sai licence once production commences.
Exploration and evaluation costs
All costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities on a project are written off 
as incurred. All costs associated with mineral exploration and investments are capitalised on a project by project basis, pending 
determination of the feasibility of the project. Costs incurred include appropriate technical and administrative expenses. If an exploration 
project is successful and the project is determined to be commercially viable, the related costs will be transferred to mining assets and 
amortised over the estimated life of the mineral reserves on a unit of production basis. Where a project is relinquished, abandoned, or 
is considered to be of no further commercial value to the Group, the related costs are written off. Impairment reviews performed under 
IFRS 6 ‘Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources’ are carried out on a project by project basis, with each project representing a 
potential single cash generating unit. An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment arise; typically when one of the 
following circumstances applies:
•	 sufficient data exists that render the resource uneconomic and unlikely to be developed
•	 title to the asset is compromised
•	 budgeted or planned expenditure is not expected in the foreseeable future
•	 insufficient discovery of commercially viable resources leading to the discontinuation of activities.

Property, plant and equipment
Mining properties comprise previously capitalised exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred during the exploration 
and development stages of the Company’s mining projects. 
Other items of property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost. As well as the purchase price, cost include directly 
attributable costs and estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding 
liability is recognised within provisions. 
Assets under construction represent assets under development that are not at the stage that can be used commercially to generate 
revenues, no depreciation is applied to these assets.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line or units of production basis, as appropriate. Assets are fully 
depreciated over their economic lives, or over the remaining life of the mine if shorter. 
Assets under construction and freehold land are not depreciated.

Impairment of non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date when events or a change in 
circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed the recoverable amount. 
Where there has been an indication of a possible impairment, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of the asset 
by comparing it with the estimated discounted future net cash flows generated by the asset based on management’s expectation of 
future production and selling prices. Any identified impairment is charged to the statement of profit or loss. 
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable 
amount but such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no 
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. 
A reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all 
estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: 
•	 Spare parts and consumables – Purchase costs on a first in, first out basis; 
•	 Ore stockpiles, work in progress and finished gold – Dependent on the current stage in the production cycle, the cost will reflect cost 
of direct materials, power, labour and a proportion of overhead, to bring the product to its current state.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 
The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement 
of profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 
items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date. 
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for by using the balance 
sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be 
utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the 
initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit 
nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries 
and associates, and interests in joint ventures except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it 
is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

70   
AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
4. Accounting policies continued
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable 
that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates 
that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the 
income statement, except when it relates to items charged to other comprehensive income or credited directly to equity, in which case 
the deferred tax is also dealt within equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group 
intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts in the consolidated financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the group. Deferred income tax is determined 
using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes party 
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at their transaction price in accordance with IFRS 9 and are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost. The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed by IFRS 9, which 
permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables measured on a collection basis. Expected credit losses 
are assessed on a forward looking basis, using information such as the expected future currency, commodity and inflation rates. The loss 
allowance is measured at initial recognition and throughout its life at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. Any impairment is recognised in the 
income statement. Details in relation to the ECL provision are given in note 16. 
If there is no reasonable expectation of recovery after assessing the ability of the debtor to repay the amount due it will be written off but 
further legal action may be taken to recover the amount due subject to a cost benefit assessment of the amounts involved. The Company 
will deem an amount to go into default if the terms of the contractual payment are breached and the subsequent follow up to remedy the 
breach and agree a revised repayment schedule is unsatisfactory.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of less than three months and which are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of 
change in value, for the purposes of statement of cash flow. 
Cash retained for the purposes of restoration of the land after the end of the licence period is not included within cash resources and is 
included in a separate fund see note 21. 
Investments
Investment in subsidiaries are included at cost less impairment.
Loans and receivables from subsidiaries
Loans to subsidiary undertakings are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model. The intercompany loans are repayable on a deferred 
basis, and a three year notice of repayment can only be given after full repayment of the Bank Center Credit loans, which are scheduled 
for repayment in 2027. The loans can be repaid earlier if agreed to by the bank and there have no breaches of loan conditions. 
The intercompany loans at present are considered to be in stage 2, and have been assessed as indicated in the IFRS 9 ECL model, with 
extensions being made on the repayment terms of the original loans that were given. As the loans are considered to be in stage 2 a lifetime 
ECL is determined using all relevant, reasonable and supportable historical, current and forward-looking information that provides 
evidence about the risk that the subsidiaries will default on the loan and the amount of losses that would arise as a result of that default. 
Financial liabilities
The Group classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories discussed below, depending on the purpose for which the liability 
was acquired.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value with 
changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement. The Group does not have any liabilities held for trading nor has it 
designated any other financial liabilities as being at fair value through profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities. These are initially measured at fair 
value and subsequently recognised at amortised cost using effective interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Fair value measurement hierarchy
The Group classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
•	 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
•	 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or 
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (level 2);
•	 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3);
•	 the level in the fair value hierarchy within the financial asset or financial liability is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is 
significant to the fair value measurement.
Compound instruments
Share capital
Financial instruments used by the Group are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability 
or financial asset. The Company’s ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments and are recorded as proceeds received, net of 
direct issue costs.
Provision for commitments and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation at the reporting date, which occurred as a result of a past event, 
and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Possible obligations that are less than probable, and commitments to make purchases and incur expenditure in future periods, are not 
recognised as provisions but are disclosed as commitments and contingencies.
Provision for site rehabilitation and decommissioning costs and the associated asset is recorded at the present value of the expected 
expenditure required to settle the Company’s future obligations. Actual outcomes may vary. Details regarding the provision for site 
rehabilitation and decommissioning costs are set out in note 21 to the financial statements.
Accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the Directors have made judgements and estimates that may have an effect 
on the amount recognised in the financial statements. The analysis has been split between those that the Directors assess may have 
a material impact on the financial statements and those that are significant but not judged to have a material impact on the financial 
statements. On reviewing the estimates of uncertainty the Directors are of the opinion that they will not have material impact on the 
results of the current or future financial statements.
Those that are regarded as key areas that may have a material impact on the financial statements include the following:
•	 carrying value of property, plant and equipment, including estimates made in respect of reserves, discount rate and future gold prices 
(note 15). Costs capitalised as mining assets in property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets are assessed for impairment when 
circumstances suggest that the carrying value may exceed its recoverable value.
Full impairment testing has not been carried out, as no indicators of impairment have been identified. However as part of the 
assessment, the carrying value of the assets at the reporting date were compared with the expected discounted cash flows.
For the discounted cash flows to be calculated, management has used a production profile based on its best estimates. These are 
based on actual results and projected budgets, known gold reserves of the assets and a range of assumptions, including an estimated 
price of gold and a discount rate which, taking into account other assumptions used in the calculation, management considers to be 
reflective of the risks. This assessment involves judgement as to (i) the likely commerciality of the asset based over its estimated useful 
life, (ii) proven reserves which are estimated. These form the basis of the write off of the mining assets over its estimated useful life. 
(iii) future revenues and estimated development costs pertaining to the asset, (iv) the discount rate to be applied for the purposes of 
deriving a recoverable value.
One CGU was identified and the following principal assumptions were used in the preparation of the models. The price of gold is based 
on modelling from information from Bloomberg with a price of gold ranging from US$4,000oz up to US$4,075 in the long term, an 
exchange rate of 560 KZT to 1 US Dollar, recovery rate of 85%, a processing cost of US$91t, and corporate taxes of 20%. The forecasts 
have been flexed to account for changes in costs and sales prices ranging up to 18% with no impact on the viability of the CGU, based 
on the estimated outcomes, management made the judgement that no impairment was required and that the policy of amortisation of 
the assets was appropriate, and that the carrying was justified.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
4. Accounting policies continued
•	 Carrying value of intangible assets (note 14):
The carrying value for intangible exploration and evaluation assets, represent the costs of active exploration projects the 
commerciality of which is unevaluated until reserves can be appraised. Where properties are appraised to have no commercial 
value, the associated costs are treated as an impairment loss in the period in which the determination is made. The recoverability 
of intangible exploration assets is assessed by comparing the carrying value to estimates of the present value of projects where 
indicators of impairment have been identified on an asset. The present values of intangible exploration assets are inherently 
judgmental. Exploration and evaluation costs will be written off to the income statement unless commercial reserves are established 
or the determination process is not completed and there are no indications of impairment. The outcome of ongoing exploration, and 
therefore whether the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets will ultimately be recovered, is inherently uncertain.
There were no impairment indicators identified, therefore a full impairment test was not carried out.
The following judgements and estimates are significant but will not have a material impact on the financial statements:
•	 Estimates of the cost of future decommissioning and restoration of production facilities are based on current legal and constructive 
requirements, technology and price levels, while estimates of when decommissioning will occur depend on assumptions made 
regarding the economic life of fields which in turn depend on such factors as gold prices, decommissioning costs, discount rates and 
inflation rates. The management reviewed the estimation process and the basis for the principal assumptions underlying the cost 
estimates, noting in particular the reasons for any major changes in estimates as compared with the previous year. The Company was 
satisfied that the approach applied was fair and reasonable. The Company was also satisfied that the discount and inflation rates used 
to calculate the provision were appropriate, and have used this basis for the recognition of the provision in the financial statements.
•	 Provision for taxation (note 11 and 18)
Management make judgements in relation to the recognition of various taxes payable by the Group and VAT recoverability for which 
the recoverability and timing of recovery is assessed. The Group operates in jurisdictions which necessarily require judgement to be 
applied when assessing the applicable tax treatment for transactions and the Group obtains professional advice where appropriate to 
ensure compliance with applicable legislation.
•	 Estimation of credit losses (note 16)
Management make judgements in relation to the future recoverability of receivables, in relation to the parent Company there are 
substantial loans to the subsidiaries. The management has used the guidance as noted in IFRS9 to make judgements in relation to the 
future risk of default, the ability of the Company to achieve its production targets and achieve a sufficient level of profits to repay the 
loans, inherent in this model are a number of judgements. The management has estimated that a provision was required of US$15.6m at 
the year end. (2024 US$16.4m); and
•	 Extension of licence (note 14 and 15)
The exploration licence at Teren-Sai expired in March 2026 and was extending to June 2026, the Company has 12 months from the end 
of this period to submit an application for a production licence. The licence for the deposit at Sekisovskoye runs to 2029. Inherent in 
this process for the application for renewal and beyond are the judgements of determining if the conditions can be satisfied for future 
licence extensions.
•	 Recoverability of inventories (note 17):
The recoverability of inventories is dependent upon the future production of the Company, and future prices achievable, which 
will determine if any provision is required against inventories. The directors have assessed the impairment indicators, and made 
judgements in reflection to future prices achievable and production and make impairments as appropriate.

6. Segmental information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The 
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and 
making strategic decision, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors consider there to be two operating segments, the exploration and development of mineral resources at 
Sekisovskyoe and at Teren Sai, both based in one geographical segment, being Kazakhstan. All sales were made in Kazakhstan from the 
mine at Sekisovskoye.
However in relation to Teren Sai as there is discrete financial information available and the assets account for greater than 10% of the 
combined total assets of all segments it is considered to be a separate operating segment.
Teren-Sai is an exploration asset, details of the carrying value of the asset are shown in note 14. There is currently no turnover or other 
associated costs in relation to this asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where they arise within the subsidiaries in Kazakhstan. The Group has recognised the deferred 
tax asset only to the extent that it is probable that the taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference 
can be utilised. The future tax profits are expected to be derived from the gold mining operations in Kazakhstan. The tax losses arising in 
the prior periods will reduce the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ future tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognised as the Directors 
believe that sufficient taxable profits will be made against which the carried forward losses can be utilised.
Unutilised taxation losses arising in Kazakhstan of US$Nil (2024: US$2.5m). Unutilised tax losses arising in the UK amount to US$4.8m

The Directors of the Company have presented the following performance measures adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation and other non operating expenses), operating cash cost, total cash cost and all in sustaining cash cost (AISC) as they 
monitor this performance measure at a consolidated level, and the Directors believe it is relevant to measuring the Groups performance.
These measures are not defined by UK IAS and therefore may not be directly comparable to similar measures adopted by other 
companies.
These alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to and are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, 
UK IAS measures but provide useful information on the performance of the Group and underlying trends.
The operating cash cost, measures the cash cost of production, the total cash cost is a measure of the total cost of production after 
allowing for administrative expenses and the AISC takes into account the capital expenditure required to continue production at current 
levels.

The use of AISC a non GAAP metric was developed by the World Gold Council in order to allow greater transparency and comparability 
between gold producing companies, and has been widely adopted by gold mining companies as part of their overall reporting 
disclosure.  It includes the full cost of producing an ounce of gold incorporating the capital required to sustain production on an ongoing 
basis.
The total capital expenditure in the period was US$28m (2024: US$24m), of this amount US$19.8m (2024: US$18m) was deemed to 
be non-sustaining capital expenditure as it related to the development of the increased capacity of the processing plant and related 
infrastructure.

The intangible assets in relation to Teren-Sai, relate to two aspects the initial historic geological information pertaining to the Teren-Sai ore 
fields, and exploration activities conducted after the purchase of the drilling data.
The ore fields are located in close proximity to the current mining operations of Sekisovskoye. The Company initially obtained a licence for 
exploration and evaluation on the site in May 2016 from the Kazakh authorities.
The addendum to the licence which expired in March 2026 has been extended for three months to June 2026. The Company has one year 
from the end of this period to submit plans to develop the site and obtain a production licence. The Company is targeting completion of 
the relevant data in relation to the application during 2026, and expect to receive the production licence in Q4 2026.
The value of the geological data purchased is in the opinion of the Directors the value that would have been incurred if the drilling had 
been undertaken by a third party (or internally). The Company has continued to develop the site since the CPR was completed in 2019 
by conducting exploratory drilling to define the co-ordinates of the plot areas, for future production. Full details are given in the mineral 
resources statement included as part of the Annual Report, on pages 31-34. The directors consider that no impairment is required taking 
into account the CPR results, exploration and planned production in the future. The amortisation costs are capitalised as part of the 
exploration asset in line with the Company’s accounting policy.

15. Property, plant and equipment continued
The capitalised cost of mining property is written off over the life of the licence from commencement of production on a unit of 
production basis. As the current licence is running to 2029, the mining properties are being written off over this period.
This basis uses the ratio of production in the period compared to the mineral reserves at the end of the period of the current licence. 
Mineral reserves estimates are based on a number of underlying assumptions, which are inherently uncertain. Mineral reserves estimates 
take into consideration estimates by independent geological consultants. However, the amount of mineral that will ultimately be 
recovered cannot be known until the end of the life of the mine, which has been calculated on the basis of the current licence finishing in 
2029.
Any changes in reserve estimates are, for depreciation purposes, treated on a prospective basis. The recovery of the capitalised cost of 
the Group’s property, plant and equipment is dependent on the development of the underground mine.
The Directors are required to consider whether the non-current assets comprising, mineral properties, plant and equipment have 
suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the 
estimation of future cash flows and the choice of a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the cash flows. The directors 
considered entity specific factors such as available finance, cost of production, grades achievable, and sales price. The directors have 
concluded that no adjustment is required for impairment.
The bank has a fixed charge over the assets of the subsidiary companies, see note 22.

The investments together with the loans which are denominated in US Dollars represent the investments into the subsidiaries and in the 
opinion of the directors the aggregate value of the investments in the subsidiaries is not less than the amount shown in these financial 
statements. The directors review the intercompany borrowings on a regular basis, together with the associated cash flows of each 
company, and assess under the expected credit loss (ECL) model as required by IFRS 9.
The loans to subsidiaries are charged at an interest rates ranging from interest free to a range of 5-7%. The intercompany loans are 
repayable at the earliest in October 2029 as the parent Company needs to give a three year formal request for repayment after the Bank 
Center Credit loans have been repaid which are due for repayment in October 2026.
The Company has applied IFRS 9 in the current period and estimates that there is a reversal of the charge to the ECL calculated of 
US$782,000 (2024: charge US$3.1m) on the receivables from the subsidiaries. The total ECL as at 31 December 2025 is US$15.6m (2024: 
US$16.4m).
The intercompany loans at present are considered to be in stage 2, and have been assessed as indicated in the IFRS 9 ECL model. As the 
loans are considered to be in stage 2 a lifetime ECL is determined using all relevant, reasonable and supportable historical, current and 
forward-looking information that provides evidence about the risk that the subsidiaries will default on the loan and the amount of losses 
that would arise as a result of that default. The Company applied a spread of sensitivities ranging from full recovery estimated at 15%, to a 
recovery of 85% of the loans at a 80% probability, based on a weighted average of the probabilities the Company estimated a total ECL 
to be provided of US$15.6m. If the probability of recoverability worsened by 10% the ECL would increase by US$1.7m.
The impairment is recognised in the income statement within administrative expenses.

Trade creditors and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases of goods and services. The majority of the 
trade creditors relate to the Company’s trading subsidiaries in Kazakhstan. For most suppliers, interest is not charged on trade payables. 
The Company regularly reviews all outstanding payables to ensure they are paid within the appropriate time frame. VAT payable relates to 
amounts due and payable and scheduled for payment to the Kazakh tax authorities.
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates to their fair value.

Abandonment and restoration costs
In accordance with the provisions of the subsoil use contract (the “Contract”), DTOO GRP Baurgold is liable for site restoration costs 
upon completion of production activities. It is not possible to predict accurately the amount which might ultimately be payable for 
site restoration as it includes assumptions such as inflation in Kazakhstan over the life of the Contract which are inherently uncertain. An 
estimate of the future cost of restoration has been discounted and a provision recognised. The discounted amount for cost of restoration 
has been capitalised within mining properties as a tangible fixed asset (note 15) and will be amortised using the unit of production method 
over the life of the mine.
The provision was assessed using the following principal assumptions, the provision will be reassessed in 2029 or if there are significant 
changes from the assumptions made:
•	 External reports were commissioned to identify the principal costs of rehabilitation, to form the basis of the forecasts which were 
compared to previous forecasts.
•	 An inflation rate of 6.96% was used, the inflation in Kazakhstan is currently averaging 8%-9%, the longer term projection is inflation to 
move down to 5%.
•	 A discount rate of 8.44% was used, being the Kazakh government bond rates payable in 2031.
In accordance with the subsoil use agreement, DTOO GRP Baurgold has established a cash fund to pay for the cost of restoration. The 
cash fund is maintained in a separate bank account in the name of DTOO GRP Baurgold. DTOO GRP Baurgold is required to contribute 
each year an amount equal to 1% of its operating expenses, (being the cost of sales of DTOO GRP Baurgold in extracting the ore) to this 
fund. Any transfers from the bank account require the authorisation of the Government of Kazakhstan. This fund will be used to pay for the 
costs of restoration as and when they become due. If the funds in the account are insufficient to pay for the costs, DTOO GRP Baurgold 
will be required to pay any deficit. If there are funds surplus to those required for restoration these will be returned to DTOO GRP Baurgold.
At the year end the amount in the fund amounted to US$1,249,000 (2024: US$93,000). The Company has an obligation to contribute to 
the restricted cash fund as stipulated in its licence, and has been in communication with the relevant authorities to restore the fund to 
the required level in future periods. The failure to comply in the year with certain administrative requirements of the licence including the 
maintenance of the cash fund may result in a penalty estimated to be less than US$2,000.

Financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost, there are no amounts recorded at fair value.
Policy on financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade and other payables, other 
financial liabilities and borrowings. The Company’s accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the 
basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are 
set out in note 4 - “accounting policies”. The Company does not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. The carrying value of 
all financial assets and liabilities approximates to their fair value.
Capital risk management
The Company’s primary objective when managing risk is to ensure there is sufficient capital available to support the Company’s funding 
requirements, including capital expenditure, in a way that optimises the cost of capital maximises shareholders’ returns and ensures the 
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There were no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the year.
The Company may make adjustments to the capital structure as opportunities arise, as and when borrowings mature or as and when 
funding is required. This may take the form of raising equity, debt finance, equipment supplier credit or a combination thereof.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio, which is defined as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is 
calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated statement of financial 
position) less cash and cash equivalents (which excludes restricted cash). Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the consolidated 
statement of financial position plus net debt. While the Company does not set absolute limits on the ratio, the Company believes that a 
ratio of 30%-40% is acceptable as the Company continues the development of the Sekisovskoye mine and the exploration site at Teren-
Sai, and that optimally this should reduce to and remain below 25% thereafter.

Derivatives, financial instruments and risk management
The Company does not use derivative instruments or other financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign 
currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.
Foreign currency risk management
The Company and its subsidiaries have transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from sales or purchases by the 
Company’s two subsidiaries in Kazakhstan in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of TOO 
GMK Altyn MM and DTOO Gornorudnoe Predpriatie Baurgold is the Kazakh Tenge. The currency transactions giving rise to this foreign 
currency risk are primarily USD denominated revenues, USD denominated borrowings and other financial liabilities and certain USD 
denominated trade payables. The Company and its subsidiaries do not enter into hedging positions in respect of its exposure to foreign 
currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated net monetary assets and monetary liabilities at 31 December 2025,

Sensitivity analysis
The analysis below shows the effect a 10% strengthening, or weakening, of the KazakhTenge against the US Dollar. The Company earns it 
revenues in US Dollars and incurs significant expenditure in KazakhTenge, a devaluation is seen as benefiting the overall financial position 
of the Company.
In 2024 the average value of the Kazakh Tenge to the US Dollar was 469KZT to the US Dollar, in 2025 this moved to 521KZT a 11% change.

Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to the effect of fluctuations in the price of gold and silver which are quoted in US Dollars on the international 
markets. The Company prepares annual budgets and periodic forecasts including sensitivity analyses in respect of various levels of 
prices of these metals.
The Company’s only significant sales during the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 were sales of gold doré containing gold and 
silver. The sales proceeds for gold doré is fixed by reference to the gold and silver prices on the day of sale. The Company does not plan in 
the future to hedge its exposure to the risk of fluctuations in the price of gold or silver and therefore it held no financial instruments that are 
sensitive to commodity price changes at either reporting date.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. The 
Company currently sells all dore to the state refiner in Kazakhstan. It has as part of its Company policy adopted a policy of only dealing 
with creditworthy counter-parties. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counter-parties are monitored by the Board 
of Directors to ensure that the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counter-parties. In the current climate of 
uncertainty and the situation regarding sanctions being imposed on Russia, the Company is aware that there may be issues in relation 
to recoverability and safe guarding of its assets and has built this into their assessments of the creditworthiness of counter-parties. The 
Company currently has no trading with Russia and there are no material assets at risk at present.
The Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, trade debtors and other accounts receivables. Cash equivalents 
include amounts held on deposit with financial institutions.
It’s principally exposed to credit risk on its cash equivalents and trade and other receivables as per the balance sheet. The maximum 
exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet which at the year end amounted 
to a total of US$30.9m (2024: US$21.5m).
Although the full tax audits, including regular VAT checks have been completed in and showed no material issues, there is always the 
possibility of fiscal change in the country. There have been a number of fiscal changes in recent years, which in some cases related to the 
mining industry, this may become more prevalent as all countries adapt to climate change.
The credit risk on liquid funds held in current accounts and available on demand is limited because the Group’s counter-parties are mainly 
banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
It is often impractical in Kazakhstan to carry out a check of creditworthiness of suppliers before making the contracted prepayments. 
However significant contracts have to go through a tender process prior to the contract being awarded in the subsidiary that holds the 
mining licence. In order to apply under the tender process the creditworthiness of the supplier will be assessed as part of the procedures. 
There were no significant balances at 31 December 2025 and 2024 in respect of which suppliers had defaulted on their obligations.
The parent Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of loans recorded in the financial statements. The 
majority of the loans are on fixed repayment terms in relation to intercompany borrowings the Company has applied IFRS 9 which resulted 
in a significant impairment in the prior periods. The loans are reviewed on a regular basis and provisions made in line with IFRS 9.

Liquidity risk
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company was financed by internally generated funds, and other borrowings principally 
from bank borrowings and a bond raised on the Kazakh stock exchange in April 2025. The Company manages its liquidity risk by the 
Directors monitoring cash flow forecasts on a regular basis and ensure that the loan commitments and working capital commitments are 
adequately funded.
The following tables detail the Group and the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have 
been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company and its 
subsidiaries can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Borrowings and interest rate risk
There is limited exposure to interest rate risk as the current principal borrowings in the Company and its subsidiaries are at fixed rates. The 
bank borrowings are predominately at average interest rates of 6-7%, see note 22.
Commitments and contingencies
The significant commitments and contingencies in relation to the group are as noted below:
(a)	
Contractual liabilities
Subsoil use rights are not provided to the Company on an indefinite basis, and each renewal shall be applied for before the current 
contract or license expires. These rights can be cancelled by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as 
“the Government”) if the Company does not fulfil contractual liabilities.
Deposit development costs
In accordance with the subsoil use contract, the Company has an approved working programme which may be reviewed and 
reconsidered depending on the economic viability and operational conditions of the deposit. The management of the Company believes 
it has fulfilled the requirements of the Contract.
Training for Kazakhstani specialists
In accordance with the terms of the contract the Company is liable for the annual costs incurred in respect of the professional training of 
the Kazakhstani personnel involved in the work. The costs are estimated to be at least 1% of the operational costs during the development 
and operational process.
Development of the social sphere of the region
According to the terms of the contract, the Company is liable for supporting the development and ensuring social support for the activity 
of the communities near the area of operations of the Company. As at 31 December 2025, the Company has met all the conditions of the 
Contract.
Liabilities on the restoration of the mine
Within eighty calendar days upon the expiration of the contract the Company is liable for the development of the mine restoration 
programme and its inspection by the competent authority of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Company is liable for 
implementation of the programme upon its approval.
(b)	 Taxation risks
The tax system of Kazakhstan, being relatively new, is characterised by frequent changes to the legal norms, official interpretations and 
court decisions, which are often not explicit and can be contradictory. This leads to differing interpretations by the tax authorities. The 
examination and investigations of the accounts to ensure that the tax payable is accurate are carried out by several regulatory bodies. 
These bodies have the power to impose heavy fines and penalties. The accuracy of the tax computation can be investigated five calendar 
years after the end of the accounting period. In certain circumstances this period can be increased.

In accordance with the subsoil use contract the Company is liable for the development of the insurance programme and its submission 
for approval by the competent authority. The Company has several contracts of obligatory insurance including insurance of the vehicle 
owners, the employer’s liability and insurance of the subsoil users’ liability where the activity of such subsoil users is connected to the 
damage to third parties.
(d)	 Court proceedings
The claims on the Company are periodically set out in the courts along with the Company’s activities. As at the reporting date, there are no 
material claims against the Company.
26. Parent and ultimate parent undertaking
The controlling party and parent entity of the Company is AGold Mining Group Plc, by virtue of the fact that at the date of this report it

-	
a right to subscribe for shares in the Company where the grant of the right itself constituted a Relevant Security; or
-	
a right to convert securities into shares in the Company where the grant of the right itself constituted a Relevant Security.
•	
Any right to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company other than rights to subscribe for or convert any 
security into shares allotted pursuant to an employee share scheme (as defined by section 1166 of the Act). References to the 
allotment of Relevant Securities in the resolution include the grant of such rights.
Entitlement to attend and vote
1.	
Only those shareholders registered in the Company’s register of members at:
•	
6.00 pm on Friday 29 May 2026; or
•	
if this meeting is adjourned, at 6.00 pm on the day two days prior to the adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at 
the meeting. Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any 
person to attend and vote at the meeting.
Appointment of proxies
2.	 If you are a shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of 
your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of meeting. You can 
only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form.
3.	 If you are not a member of the Company but you have been nominated by a member of the Company to enjoy information rights, 
you do not have a right to appoint any proxies under the procedures set out in this “Appointment of proxies” section. Please read the 
section “Nominated persons” below.
4.	 A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. You may appoint more 
than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one 
proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, each proxy must be appointed on a separate 
proxy form. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the meeting you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the 
chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.
5.	 Shareholders can:
•	
appoint a proxy and give proxy instructions by returning the enclosed proxy form by post (see note 7);
•	
register their proxy appointment electronically (see note 8);
•	
if a CREST member, register their proxy appointment by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service (see note 9).
Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and 
attend the meeting and vote in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
6.	 A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the 
resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or 
abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
Appointment of proxy by post
7.	
The notes to the proxy form explain how to direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution or withhold their vote.
To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:
•	
completed and signed;
•	
sent or delivered to Neville Registrars (the “Registrar”), at Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8HD; and
•	
received by the Registrar no later than 11.00am on 29 May 2026.
In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by 
an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is 
signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form. If you have not received a proxy form 
and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional proxy forms, please contact the Registrar on +44 (0) 121 585 1131.

AltynGold plc Annual Report 2025
NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING continued
Appointment of proxies electronically
8.	 As an alternative to completing the hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically online at www.sharegateway.co.uk 
and completing the authentication requirements as set out on the proxy form. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your 
appointment must be received by the Registrar no later than 11.00am on 29 May 2026.
Appointment of proxies through CREST
9.	 CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for 
the meeting and any adjournment(s) of it by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). 
CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service 
provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their 
behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy 
Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International’s Limited’s (EUI) specifications and 
must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether 
it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order 
to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Registrar ID 7RA11 no later than 11.00am on 29 May 2026, or, in the event of an 
adjournment of the meeting, 48 hours before the adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time 
(as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer’s agent is able to 
retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies 
appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make 
available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in 
relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST 
member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her 
CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by 
means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors 
or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the 
CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated 
Securities Regulations 2001.
Appointment of proxy by joint members
10.	 In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders completes a proxy appointment, only the appointment 
submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders 
appear in the Company’s register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
Changing proxy instructions
11.	 Shareholders may change proxy instructions by submitting a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that 
the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy 
appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy 
proxy form, please contact the Registrar on +44 (0) 121 585 1131.
If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies 
will take precedence.
Termination of proxy appointments
12.	 A shareholder may change a proxy instruction but to do so you will need to inform the Company in writing by:
•	
Sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Neville Registrars, at Neville 
House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8HD. In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the revocation 
notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the 
company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such 
power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.
The revocation notice must be received by the Registrar no later than 11.00am on 29 May 2026.
If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified, your original proxy 
appointment will remain valid unless you attend the meeting and vote in person.

agreement between you and the Relevant Shareholder to give instructions to the Relevant Shareholder as to the exercise of voting 
rights.
•	
Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Shareholder (or, perhaps, your 
custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating 
to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where 
the Company expressly requests a response from you.

EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTIONS
An explanation of each of the resolutions is set out below.
ORDINARY BUSINESS

Resolution 1: To receive the 2025 Report and Accounts
The directors of the Company (the ‘Directors’) must present their Annual Report and Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 
December 2025 (the ‘Annual Report’) to shareholders for formal adoption at the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 2: Directors’ remuneration report and policy
The Directors’ remuneration report is set out in the Annual Report. In accordance with the provisions of the Act the Directors’ remuneration 
report is the Annual Report contains:
•	
a statement by the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee;
•	
the Directors’ remuneration policy in relation to future payments to the Directors and former Directors’; and the Annual Report on 
remuneration, which sets out payments made in the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
The statement by the Remuneration Committee Chairman and the Annual Report on remuneration will be put to an annual advisory

report. As it is an advisory vote it does not affect the actual remuneration paid to any Director.
Resolutions 3 to 5: To re-elect the Directors
Under the Company’s articles of association, one third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number

SPECIAL BUSINESS
As well as the ordinary business of the meeting outlined above, a number of special matters will be dealt with at the Annual General 
Meeting. Resolution 7 will be proposed as an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of shareholders’ votes cast are in 
favour. Resolution 8 will be proposed as a special resolution. For this resolution to be passed, at least 75% of shareholders’ votes cast 
must be in favour.
Resolution 7: Directors’ authority to allot shares
At the 2025 Annual General Meeting in June 2025 the Directors were given authority to allot shares in the Company, and Resolution 7 seeks 
to renew this authority for a period until the date which is 18 months after the date on which this resolution is passed or, if earlier, the date of 
the next annual general meeting of the Company.
This resolution would give the Directors authority to allot ordinary shares, and grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into 
shares in the Company, up to an aggregate nominal value of £911,000. This amount represents approximately one-third (33.33%) of the 
issued ordinary share capital of the Company, as at 24 April 2026, the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document. The 
Company does not currently hold any shares in treasury. The extent of the authority follows the guidelines issued by institutional investors.
The Directors consider that it is appropriate for this authority and these powers to be granted to preserve maximum flexibility for the 
future.
Resolution 8: Disapplication of pre-emption rights
Section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 gives all shareholders the right to participate on a pro-rata basis in all issues of equity securities 
for cash, unless they agree that this right should be disapplied. The effect of this resolution is to empower the Directors, until the date 
which is 18 months after the date on which this resolution is passed or, if earlier, the date of the next annual general meeting of the 
Company, to allot equity securities for cash, without first offering them on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders, but only up to a 
maximum nominal amount of £273,000 representing approximately 10% of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital on 24 April 2026  
(being the latest practicable date before the date of this document). In addition, the resolution empowers the Directors to deal with 
fractional entitlements and any practical problems arising in any overseas territory on any offer made on a pro-rata basis. The Directors 
consider that it is appropriate for this authority and these powers to be granted to preserve maximum flexibility for the future.
