Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's Statement

Nativo has now fully repositioned itself as a small-scale gold miner in areas that offer the opportunity for near term production and cash flow, and the potential to rapidly build a resource inventory. In line with this strategy, the Company rebranded as Nativo Resources Plc. Accordingly, Nativo's core strategy is as follows:

• Achieve early cash flow from formalised artisanal mining in Peru, initially from the Bonanza and Morrocota mines at the Tesoro Gold Concession in the Nazca-Ocona gold corridor, Arequipa region of southern Peru.
• Develop a gold ore processing plant, replacing use of third-party tolling plants, to process ore supplied by artisanal small-scale mining ("ASM") operations on a fixed margin basis in addition to Nativo's own production.
• Secure and clean tailings deposits known to contain gold and silver.
• Acquire other ASM gold mines with a short runway to production and where the level of indicated resource is attractive.
• Establish relationships with local partners who have the resources and competence to execute.
• Use cash flow from operations to boost production and scale operations.

New projects will only be considered that are either in production or pre-production, meaning that they can be brought into production within 12 months with a low initial investment, resulting in early profitability and with the potential to scale.

Significant milestones achieved over the past six months include the following:

• Restructured the £1 million Spartan Loan, maturing in 2028, in January 2025.
• Share consolidation to rationalise the issued share capital and bring it into line with other listed companies in February 2025.
• Signed up the first tailings deposit of 1.8 million tonnes in March 2025 at Tomo La Mano in the Ancash region of Peru.
• Acquired the Morrocota gold mine in April 2025, adjacent to the Bonanza gold mine - increasing gold estimates for both mines to 51,000 ounces.
• Secured permits and land for a part-built gold ore processing plant 45km from Tesoro known as La Patona in April 2025.
• Announced in May 2025 reduced capital requirements and timescales for La Patona.

Significant milestones announced after the Period:

• Restructured the €10 million Eurobond in July 2025 to a 0% coupon convertible loan maturing in 2032, should no conversion take place beforehand.
• Adopted a Digital Asset Treasury policy in July 2025 whereby free cash flow from mining and processing activities and the proceeds of any future fund raises can be allocated to Bitcoin.
• Established a new professional team in Peru in August 2025 to oversee operations and develop the business.
• Acquired the remaining 50% interest in Boku Resources ("Boku") in August 2025, thereby taking full control of the Company's portfolio in Peru.
• Raised gross total proceeds of c.£790,000 via share issues after the Period, including a conditional placing and subscription to raise £400,000 due to complete on 8 October 2025.

The Board was pleased to welcome Andrew Donovan in September 2024 as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Martin Hull resigned from the Board in October 2024 and immediately following his departure, Andrew Donovan also assumed the position of Chairman of the Audit Committee. In May 2025, Christian Yates moved from Non-Executive to Executive Chairman, leaving Andrew Donovan as the sole Independent Director. Zeus Capital Limited continues as the Nominated Adviser to the Company as well as Joint Corporate Broker with Peterhouse Capital Limited.

The Board believes that Nativo, with the significant milestones achieved since the business was repositioned as a small-scale gold miner, is well positioned in Peru to deliver growth. We thank shareholders for their continued support. Finally, the Directors draw attention to the Accounting Policy notes regarding Going Concern and Estimates on page 11.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

These financial statements are for Nativo Resources Plc and subsidiary undertakings ("the Group"). The Company is registered, and domiciled, in England and Wales and incorporated under the Companies Act 2006.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed and consolidated interim financial statements for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and on the going concern basis. They are in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 and are expected to be applied for the year ending 31 December 2025.

The comparatives shown are for the period 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024, and for the year ended 31 December 2024, and do not constitute statutory accounts, as defined in section 435 of the Companies Act 2006, but are based on the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

GOING CONCERN

The consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2024 showed a negative net asset position. The Directors have worked hard during and post the Period to strengthen the Group's balance sheet, including restructuring the £1 million Spartan Loan in January 2025 and then securing approvals in July 2025 to restructure the €10 million Eurobond to a 0% coupon convertible loan maturing in 2032, should no conversion take place beforehand.

The Company has also raised additional funding during and post the Period, including a conditional placing and subscription to raise £400,000 which is due to complete on 8 October 2025 and which should last until January 2026. The Directors continue to hold positive discussions with existing and potential investors, and should know within the next two weeks about further funding which should take the Company through to June 2026. They also continue to engage in negotiations to acquire cash generative opportunities in the extraction of natural resources which would add to the Company's existing portfolio of mining interests and which have the potential to deliver significant growth.

• Successfully raising sufficient funds; and
• The Company's existing assets and projects becoming sufficiently cash-positive to fund the business going forward.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing this condensed interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The key source of uncertainty in estimates that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, within the next financial year, is the Group's going concern assessment.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue comprises the invoice value of goods and services supplied by the Group, net of value added taxes and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised in the case of gold ore sales when goods are delivered and title has passed to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is physically transferred. Gold prices vary from month to month based on seasonal demand from customer segments and production in the market as a whole.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

At the balance sheet date, there are two business segments, the mining operation, Boku, and the UK head office.

The analysis of the Group's revenue for the year from continuing operations is as follows:

3 Taxation

The parent entity has tax losses available to be carried forward, and further tax losses are available in certain subsidiaries. With anticipated substantial lead times for the Group's projects, and the possibility that these may expire before their use, it is not considered appropriate to anticipate an asset value for them.

No amounts have been recognised within tax on the results of the equity-accounted joint ventures.

4 Loss per share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share at 30 June 2025 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ending 31 December 2024 and the effect of the potentially dilutive ordinary shares to be issued are shown below.

Deferred shares have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share due to their nature.

The holders of the 0.31¢ (0.25p) ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.
