Ethiopian Minerals Corporation
Overview
Ethiopian Minerals Corporation is a state-owned mining and minerals enterprise held by Ethiopian Investment Holdings, organised into Mining, Oil and Gas, Biofuel and Consulting Services business units, with explored and developed products including gold, tantalum, lithium, platinum, copper, soda ash, gemstone, kaolin, feldspar, bentonite, dolomite, diatomite, quartz, salt, and oil and gas. It reports under IFRS in Ethiopian Birr with a 7 July year end, and files under the name Ethiopian Mineral Corporation from the year ended 7 July 2024, having previously reported as Ethiopian Minerals, Petroleum and Biofuel Corporation (EMPBC). The 2023 statements were consolidated and included the subsidiary Afar Salt Production Share Company; the 2024 statements present the Corporation alone and restate the prior year on that basis.
Total income grew to ETB 92.58M for the year ending 7 July 2024, as revenue rose to ETB 50.93M and other income to ETB 41.65M, while cost of goods sold of ETB 33.47M left a gross profit of ETB 17.46M. The loss for the year narrowed to ETB 51.50M as general and administrative expenses fell to ETB 111.29M, though an impairment loss of ETB 5.10M and finance costs of ETB 3.22M both increased. A ETB 140.00M loan from Ethiopian Investment Holdings was the only financing inflow, lifting cash to ETB 134.08M while equity fell to ETB 472.72M.
