Firstly, welcome to those of you who are able to attend our meeting either electronically or in person. These are challenging times for us all and this will be a short address.
2019 – 2020 was a very difficult year for Pacific American Holdings. We had high expectations that our fundraising in the US would provide us with the necessary capital to undertake further drilling and development of our very valuable asset at Elko in British Columbia in 2020. Unfortunately, despite many promises this did not eventuate and effectively was overtaken by the Covid virus impact on capital markets. Industry interests in Elko whilst apparent in view of the falling coking coal prices also did not result in us achieving a joint venture partner to enable us to develop this 300 million tonne project.
Until there is a return to normality, we have been forced to place the project on hold.
On a brighter note, we have completed the first stage of our commitment to the renewable energies sector with our acquisition of a 50% interest in our joint venture with Global Hydro of Austria. Our management are in place and development of the business is underway.
We are also looking at other renewable energy technologies which combined with our hydro technology will offer commercial opportunities for development.

Thanks to our shareholders we recently raised just short of $1 million, sufficient to enable us to continue our work program. The support of our shareholders in these difficult times is appreciated as it allows us to look forward to better times in the future.
