Executive commentary on the acquisitions and capital raising

Having long been focused almost solely on the development of Citronen, the Board has now elected to enact a growth strategy underpinned by the pursuit of multiple, and parallel, growth opportunities. Bamboo Creek and Daltons represent a low-cost way to acquire a position in Western Australia, the world's premier mining jurisdiction, as IBG moves towards holding a portfolio of opportunities spread across various metal markets. These acquisitions are excellent opportunities from which to further grow the asset base of the Company alongside the Citronen Project in Greenland. The Company is now very well placed for a busy start to 2024.
