CHAIRMAN’S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
– HALF YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (NTL)
Dear Shareholders,
In the last six months we have made solid progress on
several fronts—commissioning our processing plant,
progressing mine development, and securing funding to
support continuing exploration activity.
We farewelled our General Manager John Upperton and
are delighted to welcome Terry Moynihan to the Board as
an Independent Non-Executive Director – his decades of
mining experience will be an invaluable addition for our
next phase of operations.
Plant & Operations
Commissioning of the processing plant began in
June and continued through to September. Early trials
achieved recovery rates of around 70% of heavy minerals,
including Gold and Silver, present in the feedstock. This
recovery rate was within the range of previous test results
on ore from Talisman.
During the trial phase the plant was initially processing
5-6 tonnes of ore per day and through refi
nements that
was increased to a processing capability of 10 tonnes per
day – with a goal to achieve 14 - 16 tonnes per 8 hour shift
when we are operating at maximum capacity (i.e. when
we are operating on more than one face of Mystery Vein).
During commissioning, some gold-bearing material
is likely to have settled in the ball mill liners. This is a
normal part of fine-tuning and commissioning a plant.
The material will be recovered during routine ball mill
maintenance.
We have been advancing a development drive along the
narrow vein at Mystery, the ore extracted includes both vein
material and surrounding rock needed for safe access. This
blending reduces the overall grade compared to stoping,
where only the vein is mined. It’s
a normal part of early mine development and helps us
access future high-grade zones, but does result in some
dilution of the ore grade.
In the fi
rst 10m of development at Mystery we were
averaging low grades of around 2.85grams of gold per
tonne – and as a result we have paused mining to agree
a more targeted forward plan with Terra Firma.
We have now completed all modifi
cations to the
processing plant to improve gold and other minerals
recovery levels and throughput efficiency, including a ball
mill closed loop hydrocyclone recirculation system for
oversize material.
We have now signed an agreement with Ocean Partners
based in the UK, who will purchase 100% of our gold
concentrate for the next six months and our first shipment
to them of 1,005kg of concentrate at 181g/t—is currently en
route to Europe.
Recently we also hosted a positive WorkSafe site visit at
Talisman.
Financial Snapshot
We raised NZ$1.68 million through two private placements,
and fully converted the Convertible Loan Note from our
largest shareholder. These actions had strengthened
our working capital, enabling us to commission
our processing plant and advance our exploration
programme.
However, subsequent to that, the lower than expected ore
grade encountered at Mystery has created a short-term
cash shortfall, which the Directors are actively managing.
To address this, the Board has opened a private
placement closing on 12 December, 2025, followed by a
larger capital raise in February 2026.
During the period we also appointed Baker Tilly Staples
Rodway as our new auditor.
Looking Ahead
Our immediate priorities are:
•Developing a more targeted mining plan
•Reducing overheads
•Securing additional funding for the next phase of
exploration
To date, we have NZ$550k in committed short-term
pledges, a private placement closing on 12 December,
and a larger capital raise scheduled for February 2026.
With a defined JORC resource, an experienced team,
and an established buyer for our concentrate, we’re
well-positioned for the next phase.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the Shareholders of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited
Report on the Review of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Disclaimer of Conclusion
We were engaged to review the interim consolidated financial statements of New Talisman Gold Mines
Limited and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) on pages 7 to 15, which comprise the consolidated statement of
financial position as at 30 September 2025, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months
ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
We do not express a conclusion on the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the
Group. Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion
section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient evidence to provide a basis for a review
conclusion on these interim consolidated financial statements.
Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of the Group. Our review work has been undertaken so that
we might state to the Shareholders of the Group those matters we are required to state to them in the
review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders of the Group as a body, for our review procedures,
for this report or for the conclusion we have formed.
Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion
The consolidated statement of financial position includes net assets totalling $15,809,473 related to the
Talisman Mine cash generating unit. This represents a substantial proportion of the Group’s consolidated
financial statements. As part of our review procedures, we have been unable to obtain sufficient evidence
in relation to the recoverable amount of the Talisman Mine cash-generating unit, in particular with respect
to the amount of gold to be recovered and timing of such recoveries within the intended mining plan and,
consequently, the extent of any forecast cash flows arising from the Talisman Mine project. We refer to
note 11 of the interim consolidated financial statements which details the Group’s approach to
impairment of assets.
As a result of this matter, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments were necessary in
respect of the elements of the Group’s Talisman Mine cash-generating unit and the elements making up
the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
and the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of the
interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International
Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim
Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to conduct a review of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance
with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
NEW TALISMAN GOLD MINES HALF YEARLY REPORT 2025 | 6
Entity. However, because of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion section of our
report, we were not able to obtain sufficient evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion on the
interim consolidated financial statements.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand
relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner we have no relationship with, or interests
in the Group.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is J A Daubney.

NEW TALISMAN GOLD MINES LIMITED
Notes to the interim financial statements
1.General
New Talisman Gold Mines Limited is a profit-oriented company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered
under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX).
The company is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 The group consists
of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (the “company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”) and these financial statements are
the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group is engaged in mine development and mineral
exploration.
These financial statements were approved for issue by the Directors on xx December 2025.
Statement of compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements presented are for New Talisman Gold Mines Limited and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Coromandel Gold Limited, Critical Mineral Resources Limited and Rahu Resources Pty Limited (“Group”). The
information is presented in New Zealand dollars which is the company’s functional currency. The interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand.
They comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated financial
statements have not been audited. The comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2025 has been audited. The
comparative information for the six-month period ended 30 September 2024 has not been audited.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes included in the annual report. Accordingly,
these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended
31 March 2025.
2.Accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial
statements are the same as those adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2025. Those policies are set out in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2025. There have been no
changes to those accounting policies.
3.Seasonality of operations
The results are unaffected to any significant extent by seasonality factors.
4.Going Concern
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which anticipates the Company and entities it controls
will be able to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
The Company has identified conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. These conditions include ongoing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. In addition,
the Company currently has a low cash balance in relation to its usual cash demand, as a result, mining operations
have been suspended pending a review and capital raise.
The revised financial forecasts for FY26 and FY27 project sufficient cash being available to satisfy all financial
obligations in the ordinary course of business during the 12 months following approval of these interim consolidated
financial statements. The forecast cash flows are dependent on the key assumptions outlined below.
•In previously forecasting the Company’s cash requirements the company has made certain assumptions around
the timing, volume and grade of production. It is now clear from the work we have done since the last assay that the
previous assumptions are not being met. As in any gold mining operation in narrow vein we have variable grades
and we have only mined 10m of reef drivage.
•Price of Gold. In forecasting the Companies cash requirements management has made certain assumptions about
the price of gold. The gold price is a market commodity therefore there is uncertainty as to the price that might be
achieved.
•Raising of additional capital, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to
access suitable debt or equity capital to fund its operations. No assurance can be given that such capital will be
available at all or on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company has announced a private placement closing
12 December 2025 and expects to open a wider capital raise in February 2026.
The revised forecast assumptions have been conservatively prepared and stress tested against a range of scenarios
including a material delay or reduction in production. Should the Company be unable to achieve the forecast cash flows
mentioned above the Company will look to modify its work program to work within cash constraints. If the forecast is not
met it is possible that the Company may have insufficient liquid assets to be able to continue as a going concern for a
period of at least 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. As a result of the aforementioned material
uncertainties, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Development expenditure consists of mining development costs, professional salaries, data acquisitions and a small portion
of overhead expenses relating to the operation of the mine. Management assesses the allocation of directly attributable
overheads at the end of each reporting date. Management also assesses the carrying value of development expenditure
to ensure it represents the fair value of the mine development asset. An independent Technical Valuation of the Talisman
Gold Project was provided by Geos Mining Minerals Consultants as at 30 September 2021. They concluded that a preferred
valuation of the Project was NZ $15.6 million. This valuation exceeds the carrying amount of Assets under construction as at 30
September 2025 of $14,360,981.
Furthermore, the mining permit consists of a two-year bulk sampling period and will require an application for full mining.
At each reporting date the Directors review factors that may indicate impairment.
In the year ended 31 March 2022 given the conditional nature of the mining permit, the difference in indicative valuation
between the abovementioned valuation, and that no commercial activity had yet been generated from mining activities,
the Directors concluded that an impairment to the Talisman mine development would be appropriate. The Talisman mine
development was therefore impaired down to a net book value of $9 million. The directors reviewed factors as at 31 March
2023 and determined a further adjustment of $1,205,483 be made to book value to reflect the value attributed to the assets
by the market. The directors further reviewed factors as at 31 March 2024 and determined there be no change to the value of
the asset.
At 31 March 2025 the Directors considered obtaining an updated mine valuation as part of their impairment review, however,
due to delays in issuing of permits the bulk sampling programme was not progressed to a stage that it could provide any
further data to inform a complete valuation of the asset. As the current mine plan is to bulk sample at the Mystery deposit
in the Talisman Mine where there is inferred JORC resource and not measured and indicated JORC resource, a valuation
based on discounted cashflows originating in that part of the mine could not be applied. It was agreed to defer an update
to the formal valuation until the bulk sampling programme had progressed sufficiently to more fully inform a valuation.
The Directors considered the cost to replace the assets and accessibility at the mine, along with the value attributed to the
assets by the market and concluded that there were no triggers for impairment at this time, further the sustained increase in
gold price together with the current status of permits and readiness of the mine gave rise to a conclusion to reverse previous
impairment charges. At 30 September 2025, there was no change made to the impairment provision.
