TIGER ROYALTIES AND INVESTMENTS PLC ("Tiger" or the
"Company")
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30
JUNE 2022
Chairman's Report
Dear Shareholder,
Net Asset Value per share - 30 Jun 2022: 0.12p / 31 Dec 2021:
0.17p (30 June 2021: 0.29p)
Total net assets - 30 Jun 2022: GBP542k / 31 Dec 2021: GBP770k
(30 June 2021: GBP1,314k)
In my chairman's statement for the comparative six months period
to 30 June 2021, I was very enthusiastic and upbeat on the outlook
for junior resource companies. This sentiment was based on the
resurgence in the sector and the positive mood in the investment
community during that period . Many IPOs and secondary financings
were completed in the course of 2021 and stock markets experienced
a buoyant period, particularly in the case of alternative energy
commodities.
These fundamentals remain firmly in place and have arisen from a
desire for a cleaner planet and the impact of global warming
resulting in uncharacteristic weather changes which have become
more regular, with increasing devastation in recent years. However,
despite these positive fundamentals, smaller cap stocks,
particularly in the natural resource sector have experienced one of
the worst periods during the many years that I have been active in
the sector. Many companies have made discoveries and others have
advanced their projects significantly with the market giving little
or no recognition to the achievements made by these operators.
Market capitalisations of junior resource companies are
generally lower compared to this period last year. The paradox is
that most major mining companies have, in recent months, produced
"all time" high cash returns from their operations and have also
recorded excellent returns to shareholders, with dividends and
windfall distributions breaking previous records.
At the time of writing this report, commodity prices are
slipping and the major mining companies are warning that there may
be hard times ahead. These negative factors have mainly resulted
from the ongoing war in Ukraine and fears of excessive and
sustained inflation. Whilst the war is very real and also very sad,
we believe that inflationary pressures have resulted more from
supply chain disruptions, triggered mainly by the Pandemic,
although the effect of energy costs on the inflation basket cannot
be ignored.
Uncertainty has always been a threat to stock markets and
personally, I have rarely experienced such volatile times. We are
faced with economic and geo-political uncertainty and frequently
changing governments not just in the UK, but around the globe. We
are of the view, that a material correction in stock markets is
necessary before new real trends are evidenced and it is likely
that this correction may well be underway at the time of writing
this report. However, the US market appears to be more resilient to
a deeper market correction despite the uncertainty and the economic
head winds. The fact that the US has a huge reserve of cheaper
energy in the form of locally produced natural gas has been
particularly helpful for high energy dependant industries in North
America.
African Pioneer Plc ("APP"), which forms a significant portion
of Tiger's investment portfolio is extremely well placed in
Southern Africa, a region which has recently benefitted from
discoveries and major company resurgence. Both its Zambian and
Botswanan joint ventures are showing good progress, whilst APP's
"in house" managed Ongombo project in Namibia has produced
significant copper and gold results in a recent drilling
programme.
Despite a gloomy short-term outlook, the Board remain optimistic
that the underlying fundamentals for a broad range of commodities
particularly for those metals needed for electric vehicle
manufacturing and the renewable energy space are better than ever
in history. We are determined, despite the current negativity that
currently permeates our sector, to remain focussed and to use our
expertise to add interesting and innovative deals to Tiger's
portfolio with a view to building shareholder value.
