Director dealings: Metals Ex director sees upside after loan terms agreed

By Oliver Haill

Date: Tuesday 10 Jan 2017

LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - Metals Exploration director Jeremy Ayre shelled out £0.25m on shares in the Philippines-focused outfit as they trade at half the level they reached last summer, perhaps setting a floor for the stock after new debt terms were agreed last month.
Ayre, a corporate finance specialist and former Rio Tinto man, bought 5m shares at a price of 5p apiece to up his stake to 7m shares.

Last July the AIM-listed company topped 10p as it resumed milling operations and feeding mine ore into the processing plant at its Runruno gold project, which is located 200 miles north of Manila in the province of Nueva Viscaya.

However, due to the combined impacts of the suspension of milling activities delaying expected revenue and long-lasting restructuring discussions, the share price has dwindled.

Metals Ex raised $5m at 5p in July, then another $6.4m at 5p in September and $10.295m at the same price in November.

Later that month the company completed its first gold sale, with mining operations ramping up and agreed a waiver from its lenders over a $15m payment due, before on 19 December agreeing to amended the commercial terms of its $81m loan, including a quarterly capital repayment profile extended to 31 December 2019.
