From a quick Google;
Overview
Shares in Greatland Resources (formerly Greatland Gold) that are listed on AIM are generally not qualified for Inheritance Tax (IHT) relief through Business Property Relief (BPR).
While shares listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) are typically considered "unquoted" for BPR purposes and many can qualify for 100% IHT relief, the eligibility depends on the nature of the company's underlying business.
Why Greatland Resources likely does not qualify:
Nature of Business: For an investment to qualify for BPR, the company must be a trading business, not one that deals mainly in investments, land, or buildings.
Mineral Exploration & Mining: Greatland Resources is a dedicated mineral exploration and mining company, focusing on identifying and developing gold and other mineral resources. Companies in the natural resources sector (like Greatland Gold/Resources, Pan African Resources, Pantheon Resources) are often considered volatile and generally do not meet the specific BPR qualifying criteria because their activities are related to dealing with land/natural assets or are deemed too high-risk for BPR portfolios.
Market Consensus: Discussions in financial forums and analysis from asset management firms indicate a consensus that Greatland Resources shares do not qualify for BPR.
