Kefi Gold & Copper PLC, up 44% at 0.71 pence, 12-month range 0.42p-2.10p. The miner says it has been informed by the Ethiopian government that the Tulu Kapi license has not been cancelled. The Ethiopian Minister of Mines told the company that recent media reports of license cancellation were inaccurate, and confirmed that the regulator’s review will continue to ensure the earliest possible launch of the gold project. In addition, KEFI says it has signed an umbrella agreement with the project’s finance syndicate, setting out a full funding package.

MySale Group PLC, up 28% at 1.59p, 12-month range 1.03p-8.95p. Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group PLC acquires a 28.7% holding in the Australian-based fashion marketplace. Frasers says this creates an opportunity for a strategic partnership whereby end of line products can be cleared via an established clearance channel. This pipeline will be enhanced by the benefits of counter seasonality between the European and Australian climates, the FTSE 250 company adds. Frasers is down 1.9%.
