Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have always recognised and highlighted that exploration and development activities in frontier markets are high-risk and that material uncertainty exists at this stage of the Group's development. We have considered a range of possible scenarios, including sensitivities relating to project execution, and we are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources, options and flexibility to meet its obligations as they fall due. That is not to underplay the challenges of managing capital requirements in markets such as ours. These matters, including the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, are explained in the Going Concern Note of the Financial Statements, which shareholders are advised to read.
