Director dealings: Amur Minerals director purchases shares

Mineral exploration and resource development firm Amur Minerals revealed on Tuesday that non-executive director Thomas Bowens had purchased 7.52m ordinary shares in the AIM-listed firm.

Bowens, who joined Amur earlier this month, subscribed for the shares at an average price of 2.16p each, for a total value of £162,295.14.

The subscription price was at the Amur's closing share price on Friday.

Back in February, Amur updated the market on the access road that would link the planned mine site with the Baikal Amur Rail Line (BAM) on its wholly-owned Kun-Manie nickel-copper sulphide project.

Amur said the updated estimate based on a one-lane design indicated the average cost to construct one kilometre of the road was $0.38m including bridges, diversions and culverts.

It said the total capital cost of the 338 km road was anticipated to be in the order of $129m.

As of 1630 BST, Amur shares had slumped 7.16% to 2.01p.
