Pathfinder Minerals, off 26%. The miner said a court in Mozambique made a ruling against the company in its lengthy litigation process. The company wants to appeal the decision as it continues to try to reclaim numerous licenses. Pathfinder has been fighting over the ownership of Companhia Mineira de Naburi SARL, that hold the licenses. Pathfinder claimed the rights to the licences were illegally seized by General Jacinto Veloso and Diogo Cavaco and was hoping the court would rule Pathfinder validly acquired a 99.99% stake in Companhia Mineira. Veloso and Cavaco, claimed Pathfinder failed to pay the USD10.0 million required under the option agreement in place to buy the shares, meaning these licences could not have been seized as Pathfinder never owned them.

The natural resources-focused investing company was down after publishing the first set of results from the drilling programme on the company's joint venture project in Botswana over the Kalahari copper belt.
