Having achieved this successfully, I am pleased that we are in a position to face the challenges in front of us as well as grow the business. Although showing a loss for 2019, it is encouraging to be able to show the Company generating revenues from operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Group's Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (US$), which is also the functional currency of the Company, and rounded to the nearest thousand.
The Financial Statements from which these extracts are taken have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and IFRIC interpretations (IFRS IC) as adopted by the European Union, and with the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as modified for assets and liabilities recognised at fair value on a business combination and contingent consideration measured at fair value.
Going concern
The Financial Statements from which these extracts are taken have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors have taken into account all relevant available information about the current and future position of the Group and Company, including the current and future level of resources. As part of their assessment, the Directors have also taken into account the need for the Company to raise additional funding during the going concern period. Further funding will be required by the Company either through equity raisings or other financial arrangements and this additional funding is not guaranteed, however to date the Company has been successful in securing funding when required.
The Company has no income stream of its own and is reliant, until it is able to receive an income from its investment in Minto, on funding from equity and loans. The company is in the process of obtaining such funding and its management are confident that it can meet its contracted and committed expenditure for at least the next 12 months. Minto has received commitments from its other investors, Cedro Holdings and Copper Holdings, they will support its operations for at least the next 12 months. The need for the Company to raise additional funds at the required amount during the going concern period indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore its ability to settle its debts and realise its assets in the normal course of business.
At present the Group believes that there should be no significant material disruption to its mining operations from COVID-19, but the Board continues to monitor these risks and Minto's business continuity plans.
Having prepared forecasts based on current resources, assessing methods of obtaining additional finance and assessing the possible impact of COVID-19, the Directors believe the Group and Company have sufficient resources to meet its obligations for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements. Taking these matters into consideration, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these Financial Statements. The Financial Statements do not include the adjustments that would be required should the going concern basis of preparation no longer be appropriate.
