About Path Investments plc
The strategy of the Company is focused on delivering a material
acquisition in natural resources production or near production
assets with the objective of providing the Company's shareholders
with access to a low risk and, over time, diversified portfolio
which can offer a dividend stream as well as offering development
potential for capital growth. The Directors are looking to create a
diversified portfolio of assets that is mindful of the maturity of
asset developments, life of income stream and the potential for
growth, and a number of opportunities have been evaluated and
developed. The Company is open to ideas but intends that the
Reverse Takeover will be of a business that can act as the
cornerstone for building a substantial group within the sector.
Chairman's Report
The sale of the legacy Turkish assets during the period under
review marked the final chapter of the historic business.
Your board is investigating the appropriate method of returning
the consideration received to deferred shareholders, mindful of the
company's current negative reserves position. We expect to be in a
position to say more on this shortly.
We are pleased with the progress that has been made since
signing our binding Share Purchase Agreement with FineGems
Extraction Corporation. Given the reverse takeover nature of the
transaction, we intend to publish a prospectus during the final
quarter of 2019 and are grateful of the support of our advisory
team in this regard.
I encourage shareholders to visit our new website
www.pathinvestmentsplc.com on a regular basis to keep abreast of
developments.
