The Company has acquired an equity position in Supernova Metals Corp. (CSE:SUPR) (“Supernova”).

Supernova is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on unlocking the next world-class discovery in Namibia’s Orange Basin – one of the most exciting and geologically promising oil frontiers. Supernova has proposed to change its name to Oregen Energy Corp. to reflect its new activities.

The company’s flagship asset, an interest in Block 2712A, is a deepwater license strategically positioned in close proximity to recent high-profile discoveries by global majors including Shell, TotalEnergies and Galp.

Wishbone Gold plc

The Company has also participated in yesterday’s financing of Wishbone Gold plc with capital to be utilised in its gold exploration activities in Australia, spearheaded by the Company's plans to drill the deeper holes into the Red Setter Gold Dome target.

Gavin Burnell, Managing Director of the Company, said: “We continue to build out our portfolio and have some exciting positions that could provide significant upside for the Company. Supernova is another such addition. It has also been announced by WeShop Holdings Limited, where we hold 150,000 ordinary shares, that they have confidentially filed a Form F-1 with the SEC relating to its proposed direct listing of its ordinary shares. The direct listing is expected to take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.
