Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I am pleased to present the Group's final results for the financial year ending 31 December 2020 and to report on the Company's ongoing activities to the date of this statement. Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, 2020 has been a year of successful transformation for the Company and its shareholders.
During the year, the Company successfully achieved the following:
Acquisition of 51 per cent. Interest in the Carolina Gold projects via GAR
Readmission to trading on AIM
Oversubscribed capital raising in conjunction with the readmission
Corporate rebranding and name change
Share consolidation
Commencement of operations in the USA
Following the successful reverse acquisition of Global Asset Resources Ltd ("GAR"), the associated fundraising, and the readmission to AIM, we are now focussed on unlocking the excellent potential of our gold projects in the USA. All four projects, namely Jones-Keystone-Loflin ("JKL"), Carolina Belle, Jennings-Pioneer, and Argo, are situated in the highly prospective Carolina Super Terrane, a region that has seen both current and historic gold production but with little application of modern exploration techniques. The region is host to a number of multi-million-ounce gold mines with comparative geology to our own projects, and has attracted third party majors such as OceanaGold and Rio Tinto. The Carolinas represent a developed and stable jurisdiction, with modern local infrastructure and ready access to operational resources.
