Metals Exploration ( (GB:MTL) ) has shared an update.
Metals Exploration plc has confirmed to the UK Takeover Panel that it has complied with its stated post‑offer intentions following its recommended acquisition of Condor Gold plc, completed via a scheme of arrangement on 15 January 2025, as required under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The company noted one deviation from its original plans at the Manikbel prospect in the Abra tenement, where a planned 6,000-metre drilling campaign and initial mineral resource estimate have been delayed to allow for an indigenous peoples’ consultation process, pushing the start of drilling to the first half of 2026 and the targeted resource estimate to the fourth quarter of 2026, potentially extending the timeline for realizing value from this exploration asset.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MTL) stock is a Hold with a £16.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Metals Exploration stock, see the GB:MTL Stock Forecast page.
