As the year draws to a close many of you are probably grateful for the chance to wish another challenging year farewell. Despite all of the problems, mineral demand has remained fairly healthy and prices on the whole have been buoyant, so it is fair to say that we are in a good industry that weathers storms well. Our part in the grand global play is to just keep going, churning out the goods that everyone needs no matter what their persuasion.

We at APT have had a good year, catering especially to the artisanal mining sector, and indeed we are in the process of delivering our largest order ever. We thank all of our valued clients for their faith in us and pledge to continue delivering of our very best for you. There will be some exciting new developments early in the new year, so stay tuned.

I wish you all the very best for a prosperous and happy 2022, may all your dreams come true.

Mr K. Peacocke, CEO of APT
