CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Since our appointment to the Board in December 2015, Rupert Fraser and I have been conducting a strategic review of the company's assets and activities with a view to enhancing shareholder value. We look forward to setting out our vision and strategy for the businesses in the near future. As previously stated our plans for the business may well involve the pursuit of an acquisition which would trigger a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules.
Following SMA's successful fundraise at the end of 2015, in which both Rupert and I invested in to provide additional funding to the Company, it had cash resources of approximately GBP452,000 at 30 June 2016. The Company reports a net loss of GBP43,795 for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016, compared to a loss of GBP41,351 for the corresponding period in 2015.
Post period end, we were delighted to announce the appointment of Jeremy Sparrow to the Board as a Non-executive Director. Jeremy brings over 25 years of investment experience to the Company and was most recently Head of Investec Resource Investment Banking for Asia and Australia. We are confident his deep sector knowledge and expertise will augment the board's existing skills and add significant value ahead of our next stage of growth and as we implement the new strategy.
Following careful investigations, and having taken considerable specialist professional advice, the Board has reached detailed positions and is in advanced discussions with potential parties on both our Guinean interests, currently carried in the books at nil value, and on a potential new acquisition in the mining industry. I hope to provide updates shortly.
