“I want to thank both Anthony and Eskil for their vision & guidance through exceptionally challenging times, particularly over the last year when the Company was unable to secure Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance.  I wish them both well in their future endeavours.

During such challenging times, we are pleased to be able to announce the appointment of Michael Power FCA to the Board as Non-Executive Director. Michael, is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland, has been with the Company since early 2020 and brings a wealth of both financial and non-financial emerging market experiences,”
