What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?

Our company is a compelling investment offering excellent value as compared to other mining stocks with comparable share prices, however, we are relatively unknown at this stage. Copper price is high and our share price does not reflect this.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

We are a junior explorer with a producing copper mine, operating in one of the most mine-friendly locales in Africa (Namibia).

What are the top 3 key investor takeaways?

Extensive land holdings to explore, strong balance sheet, cash flowing operating copper mine amidst low global supply and high copper prices.
