Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges
- Declining margins due to rising costs and potentially declining production.
- Significant unknowns regarding the cost and extent of decommissioning in the UK.
- Lack of rig availability, especially for smaller exploration companies.
- Falling discovery sizes, leading to higher finding costs.

Environmental Challenges
- The Company had a net loss of $3,058,575 and cash flows used in operations of $401,615 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and a working capital deficit of $791,605 as at December 31, 2022.
- The Company’s only revenue generating activities are related to its investment in Tonalli which has been incurring losses and using cash in its operating activities since inception.
- The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise capital in the near term. Capital is required to fund ongoing general and administrative costs, the working capital deficit and for further development and operations of the Company, specifically Tonalli.
Mitigation Strategies
- Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these financial statements and that the Company will meet its operating and capital requirements.
