----------

Armadale Capital PLC - Africa-focused natural resource projects investor - Says still focused on finalising the structure of Tanzanian government's 16% free carried interest in Mahenge Liandu graphite project, as well securing funding to allow commercial production. Armadale says: "Discussions continue to progress with the government of Tanzania regarding the framework and structure for their 16% carried interest. The company is hopeful this will be finalised in conjunction with project funding." It adds: "The company is continuing discussions with several potential financiers regarding the debt funding required for project development. Continued strong demand fundamentals for graphite remain in place and there is projected to be an increasing demand as production of electric vehicles continues to increase."

----------

Crystal Amber Fund Ltd - invests in small and mid-cap UK equities - Says last week disposed of just under 35% of its holdings of deferred consideration units of Prax Exploration & Production PLC, at a 20% premium to carrying value. Crystal Amber adds: "Combined with the anticipated payment at the end of March from the DCUs, this is expected to increase cash receipts by GBP5.7 million, equivalent to 7.3p a share.

IN BRIEF: Bens Creek quarterly production grows by more than half

Bens Creek Group - owner of a metallurgical coal mine in the US state of West Virginia - Produces 112,342 clean tons of metallurgical coal between October 1 and December 31, reflecting a 53% increase from 73,655 tons in the same period in 2022. Says it was restricted in production in November and December because of a slowdown in the availability of trains in the quarter, particularly in December, which saw a build-up in inventory to around 90,000 tons. This was then reduced to less than 60,000 tons after some deliveries were completed. Notes that the reduced availability of trains was due to coal handling capacity issues at the Port of Norfolk. Chief Executive Officer Adam Wilson says: "This increased production is further enhanced by the reduction of costs per ton from June 2023, and the recent rebound in the metallurgical coal price from its lows of USD191 in August 2023 to USD250 at the current time."
