Note 6. Operating Segments The Group operates in the mineral exploration industry. For management purposes the Group is organised into one main operating segment which involves the exploration of minerals. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated and financial information is reported to the Managing Director (chief operating decision maker) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis on the Group as one segment. The financial results and financial position from this segment are largely equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
