“The Company aims to enhance resilience of the cornish china clay industry by evaluating the economic viability of extracting lithium from minerals that occur in the same rock as china clay -- thus increasing the resource efficiency of the mined rock, making this vital Cornish industry more internationally competitive and securing a domestic supply of lithium that is vital to the transition to renewable energy and a zero-carbon economy.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
