LONDON - Ironveld PLC, an owner of a high purity iron, vanadium, and titanium project in South Africa, has announced a delay in the publication of its audited accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The company will not meet the December 31, 2024, deadline set by AIM Rule 19 for publishing its annual accounts. As a result, Ironveld's shares will be temporarily suspended from trading on the AIM market starting at 7:30 a.m. on January 2, 2025.
The postponement in the release of the FY24 Accounts is due to additional time required to complete audit procedures, particularly related to the engagement of a new auditing firm in South Africa. These procedures have now been satisfactorily finalized, and the company's directors, alongside its advisors, are working to expedite the completion of the audit.
Ironveld anticipates that the FY24 Accounts will be published by mid-February 2025, which will enable the resumption of trading in its shares. During the period of suspension, the company will continue to fulfill its obligations under the AIM Rules for Companies by making necessary announcements regarding any significant developments.
This delay in financial reporting and the subsequent trading suspension highlight the challenges companies can face with audit processes, especially when transitioning to new audit firms or dealing with complex account reviews. Investors and market participants will be monitoring the situation closely, awaiting the resumption of trading following the publication of the audited financial statements.
