Segment Information

SEGMENT INFORMATION

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management and the Company’s Board of Directors for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Management assesses the performance of operating segments based on profit or loss before income tax in related periods. The manner of assessment is consistent with that applied in these financial statements.

Deferred tax assets, income tax payable and deferred tax liabilities are excluded from segment assets and segment liabilities. The Group had neither sale of products nor provisions of services between the operating segments.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, after the disposal of PSTT in July 2023, the Group only operates in one operating segment: exploration and mining, which consists of the exploration for lead, silver, lithium and other metals. The segment results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were retroactively restated to exclude discontinued operations (Note 3). Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit / (loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit / (loss) before tax from continuing operations. The segment analysis below is provided for the Group's continuing operations and does not include any amount from a discontinued operation, namely the wastewater treatment (see Note 3 for information on discontinued operations).
