Michael Covington, Getech Chairman commented:
"The business is evolving in the right direction. Last year we reset the structure and focus of the Company while also substantially reducing our overheads. This year, following our recent fundraise, the business is well placed to increase its customer base of exploration companies seeking new discoveries of assets needed for the energy transition. To that end, we have an expanding pipeline of potential projects, and we are focused on converting them."
