Chief
Executive's Statement
I am pleased to report to shareholders the
unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 31 August
2024.
During the period, Ajax has continued to
perform its opportunity identification exercise for production and
development opportunities in the natural resources sector. The
Board has concentrated primary efforts towards evaluating gold,
copper and uranium production and exploration assets located in the
Republic of Argentina, Europe, and the Republic of
Uganda.
It is expected that there will be progress to
report in due course surrounding these evaluations.
As has been the case throughout the Company's
history, every possible action has been taken to minimise
expenditure and conserve the Company's financial
resources.
We are pleased to have welcomed Richard Heywood
to the Board of the Company as an Executive Director. He will
contribute skill, commitment and entrepreneurial energy towards
Ajax's development.
We thank Luca Benedetto for his service to the
Company since the Company's inception and look forward to continued
work with him on a part-time basis.
Finally, I wish to thank all shareholders for
their support and patience since the Company's IPO.
The Board is fully confident in the Company's
future.
