Beowulf Mining plc reports significant advancements in its 2024 financial results and project developments across Sweden, Finland, and Kosovo.
Sammanfattning
Beowulf Mining plc has reported a reduction in losses for 2024 and significant progress in its projects, including the Kallak Iron Ore Project in Sweden.
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.

Beowulf Mining plc announced its unaudited preliminary financial results for the year ending 31 December 2024. The company, focused on mineral exploration and development, reported a consolidated loss of £1,789,000, an improvement from the previous year's loss of £2,937,909. This reduction in loss was attributed to decreased professional fees, foreign currency losses, salary costs, and other expenses. Beowulf's activities during the period included significant progress at the Kallak Iron Ore Project in Sweden, where metallurgical test-work confirmed the production of high-grade iron ore concentrate. In Finland, the development of the Graphite Anode Materials Plant was advanced, with test-work demonstrating the ability to produce battery-grade material. In Kosovo, Beowulf consolidated full ownership of Vardar Minerals Limited, enhancing operational control. The company raised approximately £4.4 million through a rights issue and other means to fund ongoing projects. Despite these advancements, Beowulf noted challenges in securing additional financing to continue project development. The company is working with advisers to procure near-term financing, though there is no certainty of success. The financial position at the end of 2024 showed cash holdings of £881,349 and an increase in exploration assets to £15,521,317. Beowulf highlighted the need for additional funds to continue its operations and advance its projects.
