Hope this helps to explain a bit about the companies UJO have taken up the Mineral Royalties with!
More news and, true to form for 2024 to date, it’s GOOD news AGAIN!
This RNS is pretty intensive, one that requires quite a bit of thinking about and some investigation.
However, the mineral royalties purchased that shareholders are aware of, have already returned revenue and they were nowhere near as many as this so it is going to be very interesting to get updated on the rate of return.
The companies associated with these royalties are certainly not fly-by-nights, they are seriously well known and respected organisations.

Again I say, an exciting time ahead for the company and us, the shareholders
