IN BRIEF: Shuka Minerals shares plunge as funds start to run low
Shuka Minerals PLC - African-focused mine operator and developer - Shares nearly halve as it warns that it has sufficient cash in the bank only until the end of October. Shuka serves an initial drawdown notice for GBP500,000 of a GBP2 million unsecured convertible note instrument agreed with AUO Commercial Brokerage LLC back in May.

AUO is a United Arab Emirates-based investment house owned by Shuka Chair Quinton Van Der Burgh.
