Dear Investor,
Progress isn’t a straight line, it loops, detours, and doubles back in ways we often cannot predict. But process is our mainstay. If well-designed and thoughtfully maintained, a process doesn’t need to chase every tight twist; it simply adapts in smooth curves cutting its own confident path through whatever disorder and chaos life levies upon us.
In late November of 2022, ham-strung by events collectively bundled into the grab-bag of geopolitics, our Board and Management Team convened to consider the Company, develop a strategy and implement a process to build something bigger than ourselves. This may be more admission than statement, but it’s not often I that am willingly compelled to re-examine the minutes of past meetings. At a moment when pressure demanded direction, the meeting of November 2022 became a fulcrum point, converting frustration into momentum, and implementing a considered process, the benefits of-which are now becoming evident.
Strategically, we resolved to create value and minimize risk by screening and advancing multiple copper and gold projects across different jurisdictions, quickly converging on one or two flagship assets per region. Our intention is for cash-paying interests in multiple copper and gold assets in multiple jurisdictions. Strategies are effortless and also flat and meaningless, unless there is a process to which they are tenably linked. It’s not our strategy I need to be reminded of when reviewing the minutes (actually a Mind Map) of our meeting in 2022, I want to know if we are neglecting or have somehow deviated from the process. We haven’t, there is still strong signal versus noise and that is testament to our team and to the extraordinary value of that particular meeting.
We are grateful for your attention and support.
Exploration Update
Saudi Arabia
Results from RAB and RC drilling at Jabal Sahabiyah are still being received, integrated and interpreted. Some 20% of samples are still at the laboratory awaiting analysis or re-analysis. Mapping, ground spectrometry, trenching, auger sampling and further prospecting, particularly for gold, in follow-up of early drill indications is currently underway. Reconnaissance and desktop work in preparation for the upcoming tender round 9 has completed and a shortlist of exciting priority targets has been compiled.
