An announcement from Vast Resources ( (GB:VAST) ) is now available.
Vast Resources reported a wider post-tax loss of US$4.44 million for the six months to 31 October 2025, driven mainly by legal, advisory and due-diligence costs linked to its planned acquisition of Gulf International Minerals, alongside higher administrative expenses and ongoing costs of maintaining the temporarily suspended Baita Plai polymetallic mine, which generated no revenue in the period. The company shored up its balance sheet with multiple equity placings and warrant exercises that lifted its cash balance to US$1.26 million, while debt remained high at US$11.77 million and short-term repayment pressure persists as Vast negotiates further extensions with key lenders Alpha and Mercuria, intending to service obligations through diamond sales, new equity and offtake or other funding. Operationally, Vast has paused mining at Baita Plai to conduct a full geological and mine-planning review supported by a newly established technical services team, is working with specialists to optimise cleaning and sorting of Zimbabwean rough diamonds to capture more value along the supply chain, and has restructured board and advisory roles with a new non-executive director and a new nominated adviser. Post period-end, the company sold over 123,000 carats of lower-value diamonds and agreed an all-share reverse takeover of Gulf International Minerals, which owns a significant interest in a Tajik joint venture operating several gold mines, a deal the board describes as potentially transformational in moving Vast toward mid-tier miner status with diversified, producing assets if shareholders approve and associated capital raising is completed.
