"Whilst recognition of Fulcrum on the market has been frustrating, I am delighted with our operational and exploration achievements.
Fulcrum started its life as a quoted company with multiple highly prospective early-stage hard rock exploration projects, but we have not been afraid of change. Quite the opposite, in fact.
At Fulcrum's core is a unique, driven, entrepreneurial spirit that strives to create opportunity and success to reward every shareholder. This is exemplified in our deal making, such as the acquisition of the Tully Gold project and the sale of our uranium assets for a significant return on investment. Fulcrum now has an exciting hard rock exploration business, with two drill ready gold projects in Big Bear and Tully, which are ready for growth, discovery, and expansion alongside a carried investment in the uranium portfolio we are in the process of disposing of...
I believe that a key differentiator for Fulcrum is the development of a tailings business through key acquisition agreements in Kirkland Lake which, essentially, creates a tailings hub with an estimated 200,000 ounces of gold. The Directors of Fulcrum believe this provides the Company with lower exploration-risk assets, and the ability to turn them in to cash generative assets through collaboration with Extrakt and their disruptive, proven, tailings technology.
Fulcrum's evolution has been significant since the Company's admission to AIM and it continues at pace. The year ahead promises to be an exciting period of growth for the Company."
