Director dealings: Hummingbird Resources CEO ups stake
Hummingbird Resources revealed on Wednesday that chief executive Daniel Betts had purchased 100,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed gold mining firm.
Betts, who founded Hummingbird back in 2005, acquired the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 2,519.00p each, for a total value of £2.51m.
Back in February, analysts at Berenberg upped their target price on Hummingbird Resources from 38.0p to 44.0p after the group's updated five-year mine plan and guidance for 2020 which had confirmed the business' strategy and focus.
Berenberg said 2020 was set to be "a pivotal year" for Hummingbird, as rapid deleveraging continued and its transition to a net cash position was expected to take shape.
As of 1640 GMT, Hummingbird shares were up 4.08% at £2,550p.
