"The board remains highly confident in the opportunities within the Monte Muambe project, as supported by the mineral resource estimates," it says. It also says that a GBP2 million "growth capital facility" with Zeus Capital Ltd, announced on Wednesday, has not been used yet.

"The board has already identified a number of additional commercial opportunities and strategic targets which it believes can be pursued within existing budgetary frameworks and which may materially enhance the company's medium-term prospects. The board are also considering further board appointments, as appropriate, to enhance both operational capability and the company's independent governance," the firm adds. Last month, it announced that shareholders at its general meeting agreed to replace its old board. The firm adds on Friday: "The board has also been made aware of recent unfounded market speculation concerning alleged substantial exit packages payable to former personnel. The board confirms unequivocally that the company has made no payments outside of contractual entitlements to former directors or employees."

----------

Colefax Group PLC, up 9.4% at 1,345p, 12-month range 750.50p-1,345p.

The provider of oil-quality monitoring and maintenance systems for commercial and industrial equipment wins a purchase order worth GBP395,000 "from one of the world leading manufacturers of large commercial & industrial engines".
