Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors therefore acknowledge this represents a material uncertainty as the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This is a common situation for exploration companies, and is factored into the Company's business model. Investor sentiment towards investment in early-stage mineral exploration projects in the UK is therefore a key determinant as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
