Welcome Leon from Jubilee Metals. Obviously, there was an announcement this morning saying that we were going to have a raise. So, give us an idea. I mean, I want to say something about raises first, not about your raise but about raises in general. People, investors understand that companies list on stock markets to raise capital to improve their businesses. They wouldn’t be on the stock market otherwise. So, the minute UK investors think raise, it’s bad, it’s bad, it’s bad. Think again, because it’s not bad. The US market does not think like that and the vast majority of other markets all around the world do not think like this. We are sort of trained to say a raise is a really bad thing. Well, it’s not if you’re employing that capital in any business that is going to be a better return than the capital that you’ve produced. You’re going to be beneficial to all of your shareholders. Anyway, that’s the end of my rant, Leon. But, tell us about Jubilee and what we’ve done and why we’ve done it and then hopefully people can understand.
Thank you, Kevin. Yeah, thank you for the opportunity. And yes, of course, capital raises are never welcomed by our shareholders in general, but I fully agree it’s what you use the capital for that needs to be unpacked. In this particular case, the background to the raise starts with the transaction we announced on Tuesday this week. To put that transaction in perspective, we have announced that we’ve acquired the biggest waste rock surface copper resource that exists in Zambia and in southern Africa. We’ve acquired that resource and that resource, which stretches nearly 8 square kilometers, contains more than 350 million tons at 1% copper. That means it’s three and a half million tons of copper in that resource. You can therefore imagine the magnitude of an operation that can be sustained by that resource. We can scale to 30, 40, 50, even 60,000 tons of copper per annum for many years into the future on that resource.
So, with that resource, we coupled a transaction with the International Resources Holdings Company, a subsidiary of the extremely large International Holdings Corporation out of Dubai. This company has got a very key strategy. It’s announced through its mining division, the IR copper being one of the central metals it’s pursuing. It wants to get, you know, it’s targeting growths of north of a million tons of copper per annum. It wants to achieve that through two initiatives: one, the acquisition of copper-producing companies like they announced with the acquisition of Mopani Copper, the jewel in Zambia, and they don’t stop there. They
