Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Having got us all excited with news that the Chinese money was in two days ago the shares started racing away - hitting 2.3p on Thursday - and guess what: another placing - £1 million raised at 1.8p. ECR Minerals (ECR) says that it was over-subscribed. Well do bears shit in the woods - give stock away at a whopping discount and of course your placing will be oversubscribed.
After numerous delays ECR Minerals (ECR) has announced that all the cash promised by Shenyang Xinliaoan Machinery Co Ltd in the 27 February £553,564 placing is in. As a result of the delays the Chinese had already coughed up about half of that amount in non refundable deposits. But now all the cash is in and new shares will be issued in due course. Phew! What a relief. This has been like pulling dragon's teeth. The shares have responded by moving ahead sharply - another winning share tip from the team!
The great £553,564 investment by Shenyang Xinliaoan Machinery Co Ltd into ECR Minerals (ECR) announced on 27 February grinds on.
Back on 27 February, ECR Minerals (ECR) announced that Shenyang Xinliaoan Machinery Co Ltd was to invest £553,564 at 1p. The cash has still not arrived.
In this video from the storming success that was the 2017 UK Investor Show, Ivor Jones, executive director of ECR Minerals (ECR), is at the podium. And make sure that you keep April 21 2018 free for next year's UK Investor Show.
With funds replenished by the recent placing the new management team at ECR Minerals (ECR) is - as predicted - not hanging around. The shares are well up on our share tip at a 1.7p offer, at 1.9p-2.05p. If you can get stock at 1.9p you should do so - our target to sell remains 2.5p+ and we expect to be there soon. The newsflow is only just starting.
We tipped this stock last week at a 1.7p offer. The target to sell is 2.5p + . The shares are a buy at up 1.9p. The tip reads:
On Tuesday AIM-listed ECR Minerals (ECR) put out a stinker of an RNS which crashed the share price. Yesterday we learned that the CEO is stepping down, effective at the end of this month. Did he jump, or was he pushed? And was Tuesday’s RNS completely truthful, and where does that leave the Nomad, Cairn?
One swallow does not a summer make, according to Aristotle. I guess he would baulk at two as well but it does seem that a few swallows are getting the idea. I refer, of course, to the growing number of AIM companies facing shareholder activism. It is a good thing.
When you think CEOs do not look old enough to be CEOs maybe you are getting old. And that brings me to the presentation at UK Investor Show by Stephen Clayson of ECR Minerals (ECR)
Next up from Gold & Bears is ECR Minerals (ECR) - a video of its presentation is below. Enjoy.
