Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report the audited financial statements to shareholders for
the year ended 29 February 2024.
During the period, Ajax has continued to perform its identification exercise
for production and development opportunities in the natural resources sector.
The Company has made good progress in this process, having conducted due
diligence on several potential acquisition opportunities located in Europe,
South America, and Africa. It is expected that there will be material progress
to report in due course.
Proactive steps have been taken during the financial year to minimize
expenditure and maximize the Company's financial resources prior to a
potential acquisition being completed.
Outlook
As we look to our future progress, we are encouraged by the current energy
pricing climate and the many opportunities we believe this has created for
experienced and well-connected management teams. Our efforts are fully
centered on identifying and completing an acquisition with significant value
creation potential for shareholders.
The demand for natural resources contributing towards the transition to a
low-carbon economy, specifically metals of strategic importance including
gold, tin, copper, and uranium, is expected to increase exponentially in the
years ahead.
I would like to thank all shareholders for the support they have shown since
the Company's IPO, and we look forward with enthusiasm to our near-term
progress.
