On 24 February 2024, EITA Resources Berhad held its third fully virtual 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM) via the Tricor Investor & Issuing House Services online platform. This will be the final virtual AGM before returning to a physical format for the 30th AGM. The meeting commenced precisely at 11:00 AM, chaired by Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Dato’ Siow Kim Lun.
