CEO Statement
Jim Gallagher, CEO stated, "With almost $7 million cash available and our current spending profile, the Company remains in a solid financial position to ride out the difficult financial markets that have persisted throughout 2023. Although the financial pundits remain split on what 2024 holds, I am cautiously optimistic that 2024 will be better for the junior mining market in general and Clean Air Metals. The Company saw its share price double in the last few weeks of trading in 2023 lifted by several factors. Once tax loss selling had run its course, I believe many long-term investors saw the inherent bargain in our stock where we were trading for little more than the cash in the Company and the Thunder Bay North asset, which has close to 2 million equivalent ounces of Platinum in an indicated mineral resource, was being attributed no value. Furthermore, some investor interest has returned to the space as a result of a recent rally in Gold, supplemented by recent coverage by the press highlighting the dire state of investment in the junior market and the growing concern that Critical Minerals demand can't be met if these investors do not return to the mining sector. I am confident that 2023 saw the bottom of the market and we are on a slow climb back."
