Pathfinder Minerals PLC, up 53% at 0.80 pence, 12-month range 0.35p-0.95p. Strikes deal to sell IM Minerals Ltd unit, as well as the rights to make a claim for a mining licence in Mozambique. Pathfinder strikes an option deal to sell IM to Acumen Advisory Group LLC, an asset recovery specialist. AAG will pay Pathfinder £2 million should the deal to buy IM go through. It will also make a binding commitment to kick off legal proceedings against Mozambique in respect to the mining licence claim. AAG will then make a contingent payment to Pathfinder of $24 million, or 20% of net recoveries, should the licence claim be awarded. Pathfinder has been fighting to win back an interest in the 4623C mining concession in Mozambique for a number of years now. The company lost the licence in 2011 when mining concessions were consolidated and given to Pathfinder Mocambique SA, which is not affiliated with Pathfinder Minerals. The title holder of the concession was changed to TZM Resources SA in December 2020. The stock hits this 12-month high on Thursday.
