About Hamak Gold Limited
Hamak Gold Limited (LSE: HAMA) is a UK listed company focussed on gold
exploration in Africa and with a strategy of pursuing a BTC/ crypto treasury
management policy. Through its LSE main board and OTCQB listings investors
underweight crypto can get professional exposure to this asset class.
Important Notice
The Company maintains some of its treasury reserves and surplus cash in
Bitcoin, a form of cryptocurrency. The Company is not authorised or regulated
by The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Bitcoin investments are generally
not subject to regulation by the FCA or otherwise in the United Kingdom.
Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are protected by the
UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation
Scheme.
However the FCA considers Bitcoin investments to be high-risk. The value of
Bitcoin can go up as well as down, leading to fluctuations in the value of the
Company's Bitcoin holdings, and the Company may not be able to realise its
Bitcoin holdings for the same amount it paid to acquire them, or even for the
value the Company currently attributes to its Bitcoin positions.
The Company's Board of Directors have identified the following risks in
relation to the holding of Bitcoin, which are not exhaustive:
• The value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, with its
value falling as quickly as it rises. Investors in Bitcoin must be prepared to
lose all money invested.
• The Bitcoin market is largely unregulated. There is a
risk of losing money due to factors such as cyber-attacks, financial crime,
and counterparty failure.
• The Company may not be able to sell its Bitcoin at
will. The ability to sell Bitcoin depends on various factors, including the
supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings
such as technology outages, cyber-attacks, and comingling of funds could cause
unwanted delays.
• Cryptoassets carry a perception of fraud, money
laundering, and financial crime.
An investment in the Company is not an investment in Bitcoin itself, but
prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to conduct their own
research before investing and should be aware that they will have indirect
exposure to the high-risk nature of cryptoassets, including their volatility,
and could therefore sustain large or total losses of their investment.
