CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Introduction
I am pleased to provide my first report to shareholders as Ormonde's Chairman, having been appointed as a Non-Executive Director in June 2020, and subsequently as Non-Executive Chairman in October 2021.
2021 was a year of transition for the Company as we restructured the Board, reviewed the Company's assets, reorganised the Company to operate on a reduced cost basis, while building its capability to e xecute an opportunity that will enable the Company to leverage its listing and balance sheet to generate value for shareholders.
Leadership Restructuring
Following the Company's Annual General Meeting in September 2021, Jonathan Henry, and his board and management team left the Company.
Brendan McMorrow and Keith O'Donnell joined me on the Board, and Brendan was subsequently appointed in November 2021 to discharge the role of Chief Executive Officer. Brendan, Keith and I each have over 30 years' experience in company management, capital markets, and publicly listed natural resources companies.
The Board is now supported in its endeavours by experienced industry consultants. These include Steve Nicol and Professor Garth Earls, who bring with them over 70 years of combined relevant experience. Drawing on his background in mine evaluation and operations, Steve, as Senior Technical and Mining Advisor, is assisting in the evaluation of potential new mining assets. He previously worked with Ormonde to identify and commercialise the Barruecopardo Tungsten mine in Spain, whose 30% interest was sold by the Company in 2020 for EUR6 million. Garth is assisting the Company as a Senior Geologist, focused on project exploration and development appraisal. Garth has over 40 years of professional experience in mineral exploration, was part of the team that discovered the six-million-ounce Curraghinalt gold deposit in Northern Ireland, and currently serves as Executive Chairman of International Geoscience Services. He is a former Director of the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and a past Chairman of the Geosciences Committee of the Royal Irish Academy.
Steve and Garth provide the complementary skill sets required to evaluate the geological, technical, mining operational and commercial elements of the projects under review and to identify worthwhile opportunities to generate value for the Company and its shareholders.
We are now pursuing investment opportunities at a more appropriate and efficient cost to the Company. Until the Company has made material strategic progress in this regard, the directors have waived their entitlement to non-executive directors' fees.
New Project Evaluation
The range of opportunities being reviewed include precious metals, precious stones, battery metals and some base metals in a number of jurisdictions including Africa and Europe.
Our objective is to invest in a project which will generate meaningful value for shareholders on a sustainable basis. We are reviewing a number of opportunities that appear promising, without presenting excessive risk to shareholders.
Existing Projects
Ormonde retains its assets in Spain, namely the Salamanca and Zamora gold projects and the Board continues to evaluate its strategy to unlock value for shareholders from these assets. In addition, the prospect of a transaction relating to the land and data assets of the Company's La Zarza interest continues with discussions with interested parties ongoing.
Financials
Ormonde recorded a total comprehensive loss for the period of EUR1.6 million for 2021, including an asset impairment, noted below, of EUR0.4 million, compared with a loss of EUR1.1 million in 2020.
Following an internal review of its assets at La Zarza, Ormonde now values its La Zarza interests at EUR2.0 million, a EUR0.4 million reduction from previous guidance. The Board considers this to be a fair value and is in discussions regarding a transaction.
While reviewing new opportunities, the Board has, since its reconstruction in late 2021, endeavoured to reduce the Company's overheads with Board and management costs lower on a full year basis by approximately 60 percent. The impact of these reductions will be realised in the current year with projected savings related to payroll of c. EUR0.3 million for 2022 as compared to 2021.
As of 31 December 2021, the Company had net assets of EUR5.96 million, including a cash balance of EUR3.75 million, placing the Company in a position of considerable strength to undertake a transaction within the natural resources sector.
Outlook
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience. I am of course conscious that our shareholders are keen to see the value of their holding grow. Our job is to ensure we deliver the best opportunity to achieve this; one which offers the maximum upside from the Company's balance sheet and resources. I am confident that we have the team in place to execute on that goal and deliver value to shareholders. While we are undertaking that process, we will continue to manage costs prudently. I look forward to updating you on the Company's progress in due course.
