Mineral Securities ends share purchase agreement
Diversified mineral investment and development house Mineral Securities ( AIM & ASX: MXX ) suspended a credit facility to fund the purchase of Platmin shares from CDC Group plc. The original agreement was for Minsec to acquire three blocks of Platmin shares at a predetermined price from CDC Group, however Minsec opted to end the agreement before the third and final block of shares was executed.
Minsec holds around 19.5 million shares in Platmin, or 17.69% of the Company. Shares in Platmin have pulled back with the rest of the South African PGM mining sector in recent days due to ongoing concerns about power supply issues in South Africa.
Mineral Securities also recently announced a proposed merger with CopperCo, and ASX listed copper producer.
