Outlook
We continue to be very bullish about the prospects for our 100% owned Welsh gold assets. Although the ongoing hiatus in the planned in-mine work activities at Clogau has been frustrating, we believe that we are finally approaching a conclusion to the current ecological permitting process and that the HRA, once concluded, can provide a framework for a more streamlined and efficient process for future permitting applications.
In terms of our non-operating assets, most importantly our investment in GreenRoc, substantial progress has been made at the flagship Amitsoq graphite project over the past 12 months which is shaping up to be a truly world-class asset. I can personally testify to the immense interest in it from potential international strategic investors and industry partners with whom I have engaged in my capacity as GreenRoc Chairman over the past several months. In this way, our decision to spin out our Greenland assets into a new, Greenland-focused listed vehicle has already shown its worth, and all that is needed now is for the market to properly recognise what, to me, is a greatly undervalued asset.
At the same time as developing our existing assets and supporting our investee companies, we are also focused on securing one or more additional complementary assets for Alba which will help drive serious value and growth for shareholders into the future.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board and our management team for their continued hard work and dedication over the course of the year and to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support. I look forward to continuing our work in the year ahead and delivering on our overriding objective, which is to generate significant value for all our shareholders.
