Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Ironveld ( (GB:IRON) ) is now available.

Ironveld reported an audited net loss of £1.56 million for the year to 30 June 2025, narrowing from a restated £2.25 million loss, supported by two oversubscribed equity fundraisings that lifted cash to £862,000 and reduced current liabilities. Investment in its South African operations rose to £34.7 million, as the DMS-grade magnetite plant moved into testing and commissioning and initial blasting began at the Altona opencast pit.

Post year-end, Lapon Mining signed a capital-light Mining Operations Agreement with Daemaneng Minerals, which assumes full operational and financial responsibility for mining and plant management while Ironveld retains asset ownership and commercial control. The company has completed trial magnetite deliveries, is targeting ramp-up to 15,000 tonnes per month, and is pursuing offtake and marketing agreements amid favourable trade conditions, although auditors highlighted a material uncertainty over going concern.
