The Company's year-on-year NAVPS growth of 12.5%, although better than most of our peers, was lower than the average NAVPS growth of 32.7% (CAGR) since September 2018. Our investment portfolios increased to GBP7,829,735 up 26.7% from GBP6,179,118 a year ago. The period captured the impact of the conflict in Ukraine, which was very challenging for markets overall; additionally global interest rates increased in an effort to curtail inflationary growth. The increases in metal commodity prices after the period end, cash holdings increased with the receipt of US$2.5m in early December 2022 from our partner Ascendant Resources, as part of the earn-in agreement on Lagoa Salgada. Additionally, certain corporate transactions along with improved commodity price performances positively impacted performance.
