have ambitious plans for the next few years to

committed workforce, and a clear growth strategy,
we are well-positioned to continue our journey
building a premier, mid-tier gold mining business.
I extend my sincere thanks to our directors,

shareholders for their continued support during this
dynamic and exciting year.
