(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Friday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Wildcat Petroleum PLC - The company now changes its investment focus, now looking to pursue opportunities in the gold sector, "with a view to developing the company as an African-based gold processing business". In addition, it plans to exit the Main Market, amid its "regulatory framework, rules and associated costs". "The company also intends to apply for admission of its ordinary shares to trading on the Aquis Growth Market," Wildcat says. "The company has not entered into any binding agreements in relation to any proposed acquisition in the gold sector and no transaction has been completed at this time. There can be no certainty that any acquisition, fundraising or admission to the Aquis Growth Market will ultimately be completed." Wildcat says it plans to undertake a fundraise before the end of March.

Imara Gold PLC - East Africa-focused gold producer - Will proceed with shifting its primary stock listing from the London Stock Exchange to a new trading platform. "This decision has been made to enable the company to more efficiently and swiftly complete the final stages of its financial restructuring and recapitalisation, and to facilitate a resumption in the trading of its ordinary shares," Imara adds. "The company and its advisors have already commenced discussions and are engaged with regulators and administrative bodies regarding the move to a new primary stock exchange listing, as well as complementary cross- and dual-listings that are considered more appropriate for the company's growth and its gold mining and production strategy in Africa." Imara has applied for the cancellation of its Main Market listing. A new trading platform gives it a "more suitable environment to complete the financial restructuring and recapitalisation of the company and ongoing discussions with its creditors". It expects the last day of Main Market dealings to be March 19.

Unicorn Mineral Resources PLC - mineral explorer in Irish Midlands and the Namibian Kalahari copper belt - Posts positive results from glycine leaching tests on tailings samples from Klein Aub copper mine in Namibia.
