The Conquest Story
The Company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1986 as an investment company quoted on the industrial main indicator board. Since 1994, Conquest has been listed on the main resources board of the Australian Stock Exchange with a focus on both diamond and gold exploration.
In the last 18 months the Board has focused upon improving existing landholdings and positioned the Company to take advantage of resurgence in demand with a strong multi-commodity project portfolio. Importantly, the composition of the Company's assets between precious and base metals projects provides a natural hedge against shifting patterns in world commodity prices.
