Notes to Editors:
Ajax Resources
Plc is
a Special
Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) listed on the FCA
Official List and admitted to trading on the Main Market for listed
securities of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker
"AJAX".
Chairman's
Statement
I am pleased to report the audited financial
statements to shareholders for the year ended 29 February 2024.
During the period, Ajax has continued to perform its
identification exercise for production and development
opportunities in the natural resources sector. The Company has made
good progress in this process, having conducted due diligence on
several potential acquisition opportunities located in Europe,
South America, and Africa. It is expected that there will be
material progress to report in due course.
Proactive steps have been taken during the financial
year to minimize expenditure and maximize the Company's financial
resources prior to a potential acquisition being completed.
Outlook
As we look to our future progress, we are encouraged
by the current energy pricing climate and the many opportunities we
believe this has created for experienced and well-connected
management teams. Our efforts are fully centered on identifying and
completing an acquisition with significant value creation potential
for shareholders.
The demand for natural resources contributing towards
the transition to a low-carbon economy, specifically metals of
strategic importance including gold, tin, copper, and uranium, is
expected to increase exponentially in the years ahead.
I would like to thank all shareholders for the
support they have shown since the Company's IPO, and we look
forward with enthusiasm to our near-term progress.
