Analysis · MINR · Energy & Transportation
Effective July 7, 2026, Minerva Gold dismissed its auditor Fruci & Associates and appointed Boladale Lawal & Co. The company states there were no disagreements or reportable events with Fruci. However, auditor changes at micro-cap companies with going concern warnings and material weaknesses often raise concerns about audit quality or fee disputes.

This change comes just months after a change of control and a pivot to a new business, adding to governance uncertainty.
