Egdon Resources PLC, up 5.5% at 7.65 pence, 12-month range 1.20p-9.70p. Shares jump on the back of the UK government lifting the ban on fracking. "We look forward to working positively with government to develop the right regulatory environment to realise the potential of indigenous shale gas, which in contrast to a growing reliance on imports, could have a positive impact on the UK's energy security whilst delivering environmental, fiscal and community benefits and thousands of well paid, skilled jobs," Egdon Managing Director Mark Abbott says. IGas Energy PLC, which rose 10% on Thursday after also welcoming the measures, was down 3.4% on Friday.
