Beowulf Mining plc, a mineral exploration and development company, has released its unaudited preliminary financial results for the year ending December 31, 2024. The company has made notable strides in its operations across Sweden, Finland, and Kosovo, with a focus on the Kallak Iron Ore Project.

In Sweden, Beowulf's subsidiary, Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB, has advanced the Kallak Iron Ore Project by completing metallurgical test-work that confirms the production of a high-grade iron ore concentrate. This development is significant for the decarbonization of the steel industry, as the concentrate contains over 70% iron content with minimal impurities. The Supreme Administrative Court's decision to uphold the Kallak Exploitation Concession further strengthens the project's prospects.

In Finland, Beowulf's subsidiary, Grafintec Oy, has made headway in developing the Graphite Anode Materials Plant (GAMP). The completion of test-work for the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) demonstrates the potential to produce battery-grade material, enhancing the supply chain security for anode production in the lithium-ion battery industry.

In Kosovo, Beowulf has consolidated its interest in Vardar Minerals Limited, providing operational control and reducing overhead costs. The company is actively seeking strategic partnerships to accelerate exploration activities in the region.

Financially, Beowulf has reduced its consolidated loss to £1,789,000 in 2024, down from £2,937,909 in 2023. This improvement is attributed to reduced administrative expenses and a successful capital raise of SEK 56.3 million, which has been used to repay bridge loans and fund ongoing projects.

Given the progress across its portfolio and the reduced financial losses, Beowulf Mining appears to be on a stable path. However, the company acknowledges the challenging market conditions for junior resource equities and the necessity for additional financing. As such, investors are advised to hold their positions while the company secures further funding and continues to advance its projects.
