Starvest Plc ("Starvest" or the "Company")
Net Asset Value at 31 March 2021
Starvest PLC (LON:SVE), the London Stock Exchange AIM-listed specialist mining and resources investment business, announces a Net Asset Value update as at 31 March 2021
Callum Baxter, Chairman and CEO, commented: "We note a significant reduction in the trading portfolio value and net asset value compared to the previous quarter. This is largely a result of the change in share price of investee company Greatland Gold plc, and to some extent Ariana plc, following a retracement in the price of gold during the quarter. We still believe the recovery of the global economy, post pandemic, requires support from Central Banks and this remains structurally appealing for gold in the medium to long term. We remain committed to our core portfolio holdings."
The net asset value as at 31 March 2021 was as follows:
31 Mar 2021 | 31 Dec 2020 | 31 Mar 2020 | |
Trading portfolio value | £16.60m | £31.20m | £4.54m |
Company net asset value | £16.72m | £31.38m | £4.66m |
Net asset value per share | 29.05 pence | 54.51 pence | 8.33 pence |
Share price - mid | 17.50 pence | 31.00 pence | 4.25 pence |
