Hi @shanders20….You have raised an interesting topic. My related feedback is in summary as follows:
In Sept 2023 there was an RNS (see link below) informing of the pending Sale of Polymetal’s entire stock holding in Chesterfield Resources to Juniper International (refer below RNS link), which is a Company that is 100% owned by the current Chesterfield Resources Executive Chairman (Kashif Afzal).

However, now we are over two years later and in a recent RNS (see link below) there was an interesting footnote given below the shares holdings table written in italics that says that this stock Sale still remains to be fully completed, due to Regulatory considerations. Perhaps it is the Russian aspect that had existed for Polymetal prior to its 2023 de-listing from the LSE that is the root cause for this long standing delay to the Chesterfield Resources stock Sale closure? (pure conjecture on my part).

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the Chesterfield Resources website’s current content is showing Juniper International as major share holder (with no mention of Polymetal), which would imply that the sale of the Chesterfield Resources stock has completed. Perhaps it has very recently happened in the past two weeks since the above linked recent RNS was issued?

It would be beneficial to get the 100% formal confirmation via RNS of the completion of the Chesterfield Resources stock sale, so as to be 100% sure that the current CEO is indeed officially a major Chesterfield Resources stock holder and therefore we can envisage him to positively develop the future business of the Company with full alignment to his fellow shareholders.
I would therefore recommend that holders reading this thread take the opportunity to write to the Company to seek clarity on this important matter. I shall be doing so this coming week and if many others do likewise then it can be expected that the CEO will positively and timely respond.
