With small caps often underrepresented in today’s media publications, it is heartening to see a publication dedicating the time and space to showcase this important segment."   🙌 Many congratulations again to our winner, Marula Mining, our 'people's choice' winner Valereum, our finalists SulNOx and Newbury Racecourse and all of our issuers who took the time to present to investors on the day.
