VVV
Resources Limited
("VVV" or the "Company" or the “Group”)
Annual Report
and Financial Statements
for the year
ended 31 December 2023
Chairman’s Report (Incorporating
the strategic review)
VVV Resources Limited is pleased to take this
opportunity to reflect on the period from January
1st
to December 31st,
2023, being the first period end to prepare consolidated financial
statements having acquired 100% ownership of VVV Resources
Australia Pty Ltd, when the company was incorporated in Australia
on 18th
January 2023.
OPERATIONS
REVIEW
This past year has continued to
be a period of global uncertainty, volatility, and subsequent
conflict. While the direct problems associated with the previously
mentioned devastating COVID-19 pandemic have arguably dissipated,
they have been replaced by further new challenges created by
the escalating conflicts globally, and the uncertainty of China’s
allegiance have all significantly contributed to the impacts on global security, rampant
inflation, energy scarcity and fears of global food
shortages.
The COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in
negativity with metal prices and corporate market sentiment;
however, a reversal of these trends is becoming apparent, certainly
with metal prices but perhaps less rapid with the latter. Fund
raising continues to be problematic especially with illiquid
companies though many metal prices directly relevant to the
Company’s portfolio are reaching all-time highs.
The Company’s current investments comprise
100% of the Mitterberg Copper Project in Austria and a 51% holding
of the Shangri La polymetallic project in Western Australia. The
Mitterberg concessions comprise 198 contiguous licences over some
90 square kilometres located approximately 60 kilometres south of
Salzburg. The Shangri La project comprises 10 contiguous hectares
of what appears to be a polymetallic mineral assemblage comprising
gold, silver, and copper.
Due to personal circumstances, one director,
Malcolm Macleod, left the Board on the 18th
August 2023 and Mahesh
Pulandaran, previously an Executive Director of the Company became
a Non-Executive Director. Benjamin Hill joined the Board as a
Non-Executive Director on the 17thApril,
2024. To satisfy corporate governance, the Board of the Company
currently comprises two non-executives and one executive
director.
FINANCE REVIEW
The loss for the period to 31
December 2023 amounted to £117,000 (2022: loss of
£156,000) which mainly
related to regulatory costs and other corporate overheads. The
total revenue for the period was £Nil (2022:
£Nil). As at 31 December 2023, the Company had cash
balances of £36,000 (2022:
£208,000).
The Company does not recommend
the payment of a dividend in the current financial year.
OUTLOOK
Going forward, the Company continues to
review various mineral projects in several favourable jurisdictions
with a view to increasing investor attraction, and to increase both
the market capitalisation and liquidity.
We would like to thank all our shareholders
for their continued support and look forward to updating you on
further news in due course.

Extract from auditor report:
“Material uncertainty
related to going concern
We draw attention to
the Going Concern section of Note 1 “General Information” in the
financial statements which indicates that the Directors have
prepared cashflow forecasts which show that, in order for the
Company to continue to discharge its liabilities as they fall due
and to continue with its planned exploration expenditure on its two
projects, additional cash will be required.
As stated
in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with the other matters
as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists
that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Our
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.”
The Directors of the
Company accept responsibility for the contents of this
announcement.
