Hi Daccas,
My broker has told me that the warrants should show up in my TD Waterhouse account within the next couple of weeks. They also told me that to exercise my warrants: -
1. The funds need to be in my account. I will be getting 18190 warrants which I can exercise at 44 Australian cents anytime in the 3 years from the merger date (by April 2019). To acquire the additional 18190 Perseus Mining shares it will cost me AUS$8003 which is just over £4,000.
2. I will need to telephone my broker with a verbal instruction to exercise the warrants. I will then receive my 18190 Perseus Mining Shares once the process is complete. At today's closing price of 0.59 cents, the additional shares would be worth AUS$10732, £5547, a profit of over £1500. The shares were at 0.66 cents per share one day last week but have drifted back slightly.
I intend to keep my Perseus shares for the time being, plus the additional ones I will acquire with the warrants. I have read on a few Australian sites that Perseus shares should be re-rated now the merger with Amara has gone through. Many gold experts are also predicting a rise in the price of gold, which should help further.
I don't have any experience of selling actual warrants, so I can't help you there.
