Small investors battle China’s bid for London-listed lithium miner

Dawood Patel, who has a £60,000 stake in Aim-mentioned Bacanora, reported: “We have tried to get in get hold of with administration but have been brushed off. The announcement acknowledges us with no undertaking so immediately.”

Having said that, Metropolis regulations say that 30pc of the shares need to be managed by a group for a concert celebration to exist.

As the compact investors are not breaching the 1pc personal shareholding threshold they do not need to declare their stakes when they trade shares.

A spokesman for Bacanora, which is building a lithium mine in Mexico, explained the wording in the regulatory submitting as a “very common clause in a takeover situation”.

Ganfeng currently has a 17.5pc stake in Aim-mentioned Bacanora, which it currently designs to enhance to 30pc. A few weeks back the business discovered a non-binding sixty seven.5p-a-share solution in May perhaps, which the board reported it “would count on to recommend”. It has until June 3 to desk a formal provide.

Small investors, on the other hand, declare Bacanora could be well worth 500p a share.
