Interim Results
Armadale, the AIM quoted investment company focused on natural resource projects in Africa, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.
Highlights
During the half year Armadale has made further progress towards commercial production at the Mahenge Liandu Project in Tanzania.
-- Armadale continue to advance the FEED study in preparation for obtaining project financing. This information will enhance the detail in the Definitive Feasibility Study.
-- Armadale continued to collect environmental baseline data as is required for the compliance of the mining lease and to assist in the design and planning of the proposed mining operations. In addition, the base line data for temperature, pressure, wind, moon phase, humidity, solar radiation, rainfall and stream flow data assists the local community to have access to regional weather data for local planning requirements in the Mahenge region.
-- Logistics routes for the product were assessed to determine the optimum methods to ensure the final product will enter the market at the desired price level.
The Group is continuing discussions with several potential financing partners regarding the debt and equity funding required for project development. The significantly improved market fundamentals for graphite concentrates has lead to increased interest from stakeholders capable of providing long-term project finance. Armadale continued its ongoing review of its quoted equity portfolio, where the Directors believe there are opportunities for capital gains, and made a number of acquisitions of quoted companies in the resources sector.
Armadale also continued to actively review other investment opportunities for mineral exploration in Africa.
During the period, a further GBP60,000 was spent on the project and the Company also expanded its portfolio of passively managed investments, spending GBP587,000 on three new holdings in listed resource companies. The portfolio performed well during the period, increasing in overall market value by GBP456,000 net. At 30 June 2023 the Company had cash of GBP300,000 (with and average monthly cash burn of about GBP20,000 including annual audit costs) and listed investments worth GBP1,593,000.

2. Accounting policies
2.1. Statement of compliance
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is unaudited and does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for those periods within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2021 has been derived from the Annual Report and Accounts, which were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2022 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the Auditors on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. This condensed set of financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 as described in those annual financial statements.
In respect of new financial reporting standards which came into effect for reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2022, the Directors consider that their implementation has no material effect on the financial information presented in this statement.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its long term strategy of developing its exploration projects is dependent on further fundraising. At 30 June 2023, the Group had cash of GBP300,000 and listed investments with a value of GBP1,593,000.
