The Company has as a result, during the year, moved from its activities primarily being mineral exploration to having mine development as its main focus. This is a major, and transformational, event in the Company's history. We are confident that the Company has enough data and background knowledge to warrant this shift in emphasis and in Demir Export we have an experienced JV partner who have already, in a short space of time, contributed significantly to the JV partnership.
Although the primary aim of the joint venture is the development of a mine on the Clontibret gold deposit and/or elsewhere in the Longford Down Massif, exploration along the 65km (40 mile) gold trend will continue. A number of other gold targets, in addition to the Clontibret gold deposit, have already been discovered and we expect the exploration programmes to discover further gold targets. Possible base metal targets in the Longford Down Massif will also be followed up.
