Shares in Arkle Resources PLC (LON:ARK) more than doubled in value, rising 104% to 1.12p, after the companys joint venture partner at the Stonepark zinc project secured funding from mining giant and near neighbour Glencore (LON:GLEN).
This follows an investment by Glencore in Group Eleven in October 2019, of which a portion was covenanted to be spent on the project.
Arkle is maintaining its 23.44% stake in the project.
"We believe this transaction is a strong endorsement of the project,” said Arkles chief executive Patrick Cullen.
“It is established that the Stonepark deposit, while smaller, is higher grade and lies at shallower depths than Glencore's adjacent Pallas Green deposit.
