Audited Final Results for year ended 31 March 2023

 

Chairman’s Statement

 

I hereby present the financial results for the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.  The Company is an active investor primarily in junior natural resources companies but also in other sectors especially where the Company is able to secure an early-stage low valuation entry point. 

 

The Company made a loss for the year of £367,810, and a profit of £118,905 in the prior year. The Company will not be paying a dividend for the foreseeable future (2022: £Nil) as we seek to reinvest all profits in opportunities with the potential for significant capital growth.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as at the year end of 31 March 2023 were £21,928 (2022: £36,008).

 

We have continued to build and nurture our investment portfolio and we are generally pleased with performance, particularly in light of very difficult market conditions in the space in which we operate.

 

We remain excited about the potential listing on NASDAQ of Elephant Oil Corp at a price of $4-$5 per share where we hold 659,091 shares and Mosi Copper Limited, an Africa-focused copper exploration company where we are a founder shareholder and which plans to float on a stock exchange when markets permit.  In addition, Pilar Gold Inc plans to seek a listing in the near term and we are due to also become a shareholder in Laiva Gold Inc.

 

We now hold stakes in the following entities:

 

  • Aqru plc (AQUIS: AQRU)
  • Elephant Oil Corp
  • Impact Oil & Gas Limited
  • Mafula Energy Limited
  • MedGold Resources Corp (TSXV:MED)
  • Minergy Limited (Botswana SX)
  • Mosi Copper Limited
  • New Horizon Oil & Gas Limited (trading as T5)
  • NFT Investments plc (AQUIS:NFT)
  • Pilar Gold Inc
  • Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV:RYR)
  • Trigon Metals Inc (TSXV:TM)
  • D3 Energy
  • Rift Resources Limited
  • Unicorn Mineral Resources Limited

 

The Board of Directors will continue to introduce further equity positions to the Company to enable additional diversification of the portfolio.
