Apart from assessing opportunities to realise value from the plant and equipment transferred from Sonnberg, the Company is currently involved in evaluating and negotiating potential acquisitions, including an oil production company in the Republic of Congo. Much of the last year has been spent in negotiating for the acquisition of a diamond mine in South Africa, but this has been discontinued as the required mining finance could not be secured. The evaluation of a copper project in South Africa has also been discontinued.
At the forthcoming AGM shareholders will be given the opportunity to consider what steps, if any, should be taken to deal with the Company's substantial loss of capital as required by S656 of the Companies Act 2006. As the current share price is materially below par a reduction in the par value will be required to facilitate a transaction, and the requisite resolutions put to shareholders in due course.
