Audited Final Results for year ended 31 March 2022
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
I hereby present the financial results for the Company for the year ended 31
March 2022. The Company is an active investor primarily in junior natural
resources companies.
The Company made a profit for the year of £118,905, compared to a loss of
£38,734 in the prior year. The Company will not be paying a dividend at this
stage (2021: £Nil) as we seek to reinvest all profits in opportunities with
the potential for significant capital growth.
Cash and cash equivalents as at the year end of 31 March 2022 were £36,008
(2021: £109,546).
We have continued to build and nurture our investment portfolio and we are
generally pleased with performance. We remain excited about the potential
listing on NASDAQ of Elephant Oil Corp at a price of $4-$5 per share where we
hold 659,091 shares and Mosi Copper Limited, an Africa-focused copper
exploration company where we are a founder shareholder and which we plan to
float on a stock exchange when markets permit. In addition, Pilar Gold Inc
plans to seek a listing in the near term.
We now hold stakes in the following entities:
· Aqru plc (AQUIS: AQRU)
· Elephant Oil Corp
· Impact Oil & Gas Limited
· Mafula Energy Limited
· MedGold Resources Corp (TSXV:MED)
· Minergy Limited (Botswana SX)
· Mosi Copper Limited
· New Horizon Oil & Gas Limited (trading as T5)
· NFT Investments plc (AQUIS:NFT)
· Pilar Gold Inc
· Roquefort Therapeutics Limited (LSE:ROQ)
· Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV:RYR)
· Trigon Metals Inc (TSXV:TM)
The Board of Directors will continue to introduce further equity positions to
the Company to enable additional diversification of the portfolio.

Non-Executive Chairman
