Enwell Energy PLC, down 23% at 12.55 pence, 12-month range 8.00p - 41.00p. Notes new legislation for the natural resources sector in Ukraine, which it says may negatively impact its hydrocarbon extraction licences in the country. The new legislation will come into force on March 28 and is designed to improve the regulatory process relating to the exploration and development of natural resources in Ukraine. However, the oil and gas explorer explains that the legislation includes provisions that if the ultimate owner of a mineral or hydrocarbon licence becomes the subject of sanctions in Ukraine, then the Ukrainian State Authorities may suspend or revoke that licence. This concerns the firm as Vadym Novynskyi, a major indirect shareholder in the firm, has sanctions against him by the Ukrainian authorities. It is now investigating whether the its hydrocarbon extraction licences will be affected by these provisions in the new law.
----------

Says its option agreement with Acumen Advisory Group LLC for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, IM Minerals Ltd, has been extended until January 31. This is to allow Acumen Advisory to complete due diligence. Chief Executive Peter Taylor says: ‘We continue to work with AAG towards the potential monetisation of the company’s valuable claim against the Government of Mozambique.’ The option agreement includes the rights to bring a claim against the Government of Mozambique for the expropriation of Mining Concession 4623C.
