Director dealings: Anglo Pacific directors up stakes

Anglo Pacific revealed on Thursday that non-executive director Jim Rutherford had acquired 25,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed natural resources firm.

Rutherford, who joined the group in October 2019, purchased the shares on Wednesday at an average price of 157p each, for a total value of £39,250.

Chairman Patrick Meier, chief executive Julian Treger, chief financial officer Kevin Flynn, and non-executive directors Michael Blyth and Graeme Dacomb also upped their stakes in the firm between Monday and Wednesday.

Back in December, Berenberg lowered its target price on Anglo Pacific from 235p to 213p, noting some investors appeared to be concerned about the company's ability to match the production growth and increased royalty payments stemming from its Kestrel mine.

As of 1625 BST, APF shares were up 1.52% at 159.80p.
