Material uncertainty over going concern
Therefore, the above matters indicate the existence of a material uncertainty related to going concern, arising from the Group's pre-revenue exploration stage and the uncertainty surrounding the timing of future revenue generation. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter and the accounts do not include any adjustment which would be required if the company was determined to not be a going concern.
