The Groupâs ability to continue as a going concern and to continue with the development of its 100% owned the Montepuez Graphite Project (the Project) depends on being able to obtain additional funding through equity, debt, joint ventures, production off-take arrangements, or other means or a combination of alternatives.
However, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that funding will be obtained to complete the development of the Project or if required have the ability to curtail both the Project and corporate expenditure further. The Directors feel that the Group will have adequate resources to continue to operate for at least next 12 months and for the reasons outlined above they had stuck on adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial report.
