(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Wednesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Primorus Investments PLC - investment firm focused on natural resources sector - Says it has completed the sales of its remaining shareholding in Greatland Gold PLC. Primorus sold 20.0 million shares at an average price of 23.09 pence each, raising gross proceeds of around GBP4.6 million through a "structured series" of sales. As a result, the company no longer holds an interest in Greatland. "The Greatland Gold investment has, by any measure, been extremely successful. Having made a high-conviction investment call in late 2018, it has been hugely satisfying to watch Greatland grow to a market cap in excess of GBP800 million. Whilst the outlook for Greatland is extremely positive, after nearly 2 years, it is time for Primorus to realise its remaining gains and look to re-invest elsewhere in accordance with its investment mandate. Current cash reserves of Primorus now exceed the market capitalisation of the company," says Alastair Clayton, executive director of Primorus.

CE mark for European distribution and commercialisation is expected later this quarter," says IQ-AI.
