This is what they said in the Final Results (13/12/17 RNS) :
"
Our largest shareholder, Tertiary Minerals plc, continues to provide management services at cost and to take shares in lieu of payment in cash from time to time. This allows us to reduce the cash impact of administration costs and the directors continue to be paid their modest fees in shares. I thank them and our Company Secretary for their contributions.
...
The Group's business is directed by the Board and is managed by the Executive Chairman. The Company has a Management Services Agreement with Tertiary Minerals plc ("Tertiary") which is a significant shareholder in the Company (as defined under the AIM Rules). Under this cost sharing agreement Tertiary provides all of the Company's administration and technical services, including the services of the Executive Chairman, at cost. Day-to-day activities are managed from Tertiary's offices in Macclesfield in the United Kingdom, but the Group operates in three other countries. The corporate structure of the Group reflects the historical pattern of acquisition by the Group and the need, where appropriate, for fiscal and other reasons, to have incorporated entities in particular territories.
