“in the near term we are squarely focused on two important initiates: the strengthening of our balance sheet and ensuring optionality is built into our portfolio.

“to do this we will continue deleveraging supported by strong free cash flows, while simultaneously progressing studies at our Kalana and Fetekro projects and continuing to advance exploration,” he said.

The company has delivered on the stated aim of exploration.
