Trading Update

The Group has continued to trade well across its key income streams during the
first five months of the financial year from 1 October 2024 to 28 February
2025, with the purchase of precious metals segment continuing to benefit from
the strong gold price.

The Group intends to announce a Trading Update for the six months ended 31

Board Changes

As announced on 23 May, Andrew (Andy) Meehan, who has been Non-Executive Chair
of the Group since September 2014, is not seeking re-election at today's AGM
and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of the meeting. Andy will be
succeeded by Simon Herrick, currently the Group's Senior Independent Director.

The Board would like to reiterate its thanks to Andy for his invaluable
contributions to the Company over the last 10 years, overseeing the Group's
journey growing from a family-owned business and through PE ownership, to an
AIM listed business with profits of over £11m. The Board looks forward to
welcoming Simon into the Non-Executive Chair role as the Group executes its
growth strategy to create value for all stakeholders.

Following the AGM, Karen Ingham and Chris Muir, both Non-Executive Directors,
will be appointed Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Audit & Risk
Committee respectively.
