Last year in his address at AGM 2013, the Chairman spoke of:
– The continued demise in resource equity markets and commodity prices.
– Adoption of a conservative course across our 3 key divisions:
» TIN - operational improvement, cash generation & reserve growth.
» GOLD - consolidation and patience in development decisions.
» NICKEL - development on hold awaiting higher prices.
– Our hope for recognition of our achievements in a higher share price.
– The strength of our balance sheet and the opportunity it would open.
– The proposed acquisition of the ALACER ABU and its potential to diversify revenue streams (adding to tin) and give us a platform to build a gold division.
