Seems there’s not going to be a ARA for 2023. Wonder what the highlights would have been:
Total fundraising since MR became Chair in 2016; $50m
Coalswitch produced: 0
Other operations/achievements: 0
Value of company: $0m
So if "It remains the Board's belief that CoalSwitchÒ has the potential to become a market leading, next generation renewable biomass fuel that can transform current coal consumers including coal fired power stations, heavy industries and its use can be extended toward the existing biomass industry and its current dependence on the use of white pellet fuel resources."
How could it possibly be true to say that
the BoD " believes that it will have no option but to consider a members voluntary liquidation, in order to return capital, if possible to shareholders."
