The Tiris DFS remains poised for execution, the Häggån Scoping Study is complete allowing corporate transactions, the gold assets are attracting good corporate interest and the compensation action in Sweden is progressing well. These all impute strong value within the company and these funds will allow progression of some of these areas to the next stage."

It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings will commence on or around 20 January 2020.
