Booth, who is running things at Ophir ahead of its relocation to Asia, acquired the shares at an average cost of 3,715p for a total disbursement of £3.71m.

Ophir announced on Thursday that it will "significantly downsize" its presence in London ahead of its transitioning into being an Asia-led firm.

Ophir was also planning to move its headquarters to Asia in order to support the firm's new cash generative production and development-focused strategy rather than exploration based opportunities.

As of 1530 BST, Ophir shares were flat on 38p.
