Interim Management
Report
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the interim accounts
for the six-month period to 31 October 2024 for Citius Resources
Plc. The Company is in the final stages with the UK Regulator
of the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Harena Resources
Pty Ltd ("Harena") the 75% owner of the Ampasindava Rare Earths
Project in Madagascar (the, "Acquisition"). Harena is an Australian
domiciled company preparing to develop the 75% owned Ampasindava
Rare Earths Project, which includes targeting the mining and
processing of Ionic Clay material to extract Rare Earth elements to
produce Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate or Mixed Rare Earth
Concentrate.
The Acquisition will constitute a Reverse Take
Over under the Listing Rules and accordingly, the company will
apply for re-admission of its shares to the Official List and Main
Market of the London Stock Exchange following an Extraordinary
General Meeting.
I would like to thank all our shareholders for
their patience and we look forward to finally applying for
re-admission and moving the Ampasindava Rare Earths project
forward.
Cameron Pearce

Responsibility Statement of the
Directors' in respect of the Interim Report
The Directors are responsible for preparing the
Interim Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations. In addition, the Directors have elected to prepare the
Interim Financial Statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), as adopted by the United
Kingdom ("UK").
The Interim Financial Statements are required
to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group
and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing these Interim Financial
Statements, the Directors are required to:
·
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently;
·
present information and make judgements that are reasonable,
prudent and provides relevant, comparable and understandable
information;
·
provide additional disclosures when compliance with the
specific requirements in IFRS is insufficient to enable users to
understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and
conditions on the entity's financial position and financial
performance; and
·
make an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Directors are responsible for keeping
adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain
the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time its financial position of the Group to enable them to
ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements
of the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for
taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the
assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other
irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for
the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and Interim
Financial Statements. Legislation governing the preparation
and dissemination of Interim Financial Statements may differ from
one jurisdiction to another.
We confirm that to the best of our
knowledge:
·
the Interim Financial Statements, prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the UK, give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group for
the period;
·
the Director's report includes a fair review of
the development and performance of the business and the position of
the group, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face; and
·

as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the
information necessary for shareholders to assess the group's
performance, business model and strategy.
