A poor week for companies we follow, with Argosy Minerals suffering from a falling lithium price and Cyprium Metals announcing the dreaded words “strategic review”. I’m pleased and relieved I sold Cyprium as a hedge against any financing issues, and I was only concerned about the price and what dilution might occur, rather than if it might happen.

 

The main issue of the week is about a company we don’t follow on this website, but I have followed personally since visiting the mine a few years ago, Scotgold.

I would like to see a revival of mining in the UK, and Scotgold, with their mine at Tyndrum in central Scotland was at the forefront.

Scotgold are in production although they have been struggling a bit financially, so decided to raise additional funds via a placing. In mid February they announced a £3 million placing at 40p per share, to directors, institutions, and a retail placing.

Fast forward to this week and a disaterous production update was released, and they announced they needed £500,000 fast after mining into some barren rock! The shareprice is now 15p!

The obvious questions are what has happened to the £3.5 million raised just six weeks ago?  And when did the company know they had found a barren area in the mine?

It almost beggars belief they have gone from gold rich rock to barren rock within such a short period.

Surely the exchange should be looking at this?
