Corporately, we have been seeking to augment our shareholder register with strategic high net worth and institutional investors, to further strengthen the ownership of the Company and achieve a greater proportion of the Company's shares in the hands of long term investors.

This process, started in May 2023 with the involvement of Rick Rule's investing vehicle, continues with this announcement today, with the Financing cornerstoned by UK-based high net worth investors and, for the first time, a strategic Saudi Arabian investor.

Importantly, we are also demonstrating the Company's ability to secure funds from new sources, giving our shareholders confidence in the ability of the Company to robustly finance its ambitious plans."
