(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Friday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Jangada Mines PLC - London-based mining company focused on Brazil - Notes the announcement released by Blencowe Resources in which it holds a 9.5% interest. Blencowe passes key hurdle for engagement with US project development financial institution, the Development Finance Corp. Blencowe is seeking up to USD4.5 million as a technical assistance grant for definitive feasibility study costs for the Orom-Cross Graphite project.
----------
Trident Royalties PLC - Diversified mining royalty company - Notes a recent update relating to the Sonora lithium royalty. The Alberta Court of Appeal overturned, on appeal, a judgment which had summarily dismissed the action brought by Bacanora Minerals Ltd against the estate of Ian Colin Orr-Ewing on the basis that it was time barred under the statute of limitations. Bacanora alleges that Orr-Ewing obtained the Sonora royalty either by misrepresentation or without consideration. The Estate disputes the allegations and intends to rigorously defend itself in the action. In January, Trident announced that Sonoroy, a 50%-held joint venture between Trident and Marmottes Capital Ltd, entered into an agreement to acquire a 3.0% Gross Revenue Royalty over the Sonora Lithium Project from the Estate. Explains the conditions requiring Trident to provide funding in respect of Sonoroy to enable it to complete the acquisition remain at Trident's discretion and includes a provision that at the time of funding, no changes in Mexico's regulatory regime materially affects the Sonora project and that the litigation by Bacanora is favourably resolved for the Estate.
