  • Argos Resources +20%
  • Mercantile Ports +17%
  • Phoenix Copper +16%
  • Itsarm -25%
  • Premier African Minerals -25%

Argos Resources LON:ARG topped the board, up 20% on the day. There is however nothing behind the move with the share recovering most of yesterday’s losses and continuing to be quoted on a wide spread and with low volumes.


Mercantile Ports [LON:MPL] advanced 17% on the back of news of a contract extension. Trade volume was once again limited however and the move was within the spread quoted at the close.

Phoenix Copper LON:PXC gets the notable mention, up 16%. The company issued full year results this morning and although dealflow was limited, evidently the market was positive over the numbers, with the stock trading on a modest 4% spread by the close.

Itsarm LON:ITS heads towards delisting and shed another 25% on the day. There have been suggestions that the delisting would take place on Friday but volumes ultimately have been very limited.

Premier African Minerals LON:PREM was also down 25%, in the wake of a project update.
