Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 2, 2024) – Britannia Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: BLAB) (“Britannia” or the “Company“) is pleased report its financial results for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s audited annual financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2024, are available for review on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company’s issuer profile.

Financial highlights for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, include (all amounts are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated):

  • The Company reports revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million and $1.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2024, respectively (compared to $6.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2023).

Significant corporate developments during Q4 2024 and subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, include:

  • On February 1, 2024, Britannia Mining Solutions Inc. (“BMS“), commissioned its first cutting-edge PhotonAssayTM unit at its newly built lab located in Hamilton, Ontario. Strategically located adjacent to the Hamilton International Airport and within an hour of Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the Hamilton location simplifies the logistics of receiving samples from exploration, development, and mining companies in Ontario, Québec, and Eastern Canada, as well as further afield. PhotonAssayTM has been adopted by some of the world’s largest and most respected mining companies, including Barrick Gold Corporation, affirming it as the future industry benchmark for minerals analysis.
  • On July 22, 2024, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured debenture units (the “Units“) for aggregate gross proceeds of $932,000. Each Unit consists of (i) a $1,000 principal amount unsecured subordinated debenture (the “Debenture“), and (ii) 16,666 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a “Warrant“), with each Warrant exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.06. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, paid annually in arrears, and have a maturity date of 12 months from the date of issue, subject to extension at the Company’s option for an additional 12 months (the “Maturity Date“).
  • On August 6, 2024, BMS commissioned its second PhotonAssayTM unit at its newly built facility in Surrey, British Columbia, as BMS continues its global rollout of PhotonAssayTM technology with ten additional PhotonAssayTM units being deployed worldwide over the next two years.

Peter Shippen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented: “We are pleased with the continued progress made by the group during the 2024 fiscal year. The financial performance of our core consumer products business continues to improve and provide cash flow for future growth and development. The Company anticipates the reversal of losses in its equity investment in BMS in fiscal 2025 as the first PhotonAssayTM units begin to operate at capacity “.
