VCM Director, Ashley Walton, commented, "Despite the current global crisis sparked mainly due to the Russia-Saudi Oil price war and the current Coronavirus pandemic situation, which has caused extreme stress in global financial markets and banking systems, there has been no effect on our Unifinance business model and it does not put stress on our balance sheet or assets. Unifinance is not in a financial position that is affected by the extremes in the current market conditions and all financial commitments on offer or under offer or pre contract will be completed accordingly. We are truly pleased to partner with American Battery Metals Corporation and look forward to funding our $10 million commitment by April 19, 2020."
