W Resources PLC - tungsten, tin and gold mining and exploration company in Spain and Portugal - Confirms shares will be cancelled from trading on the AIM market in London, effective from Thursday morning. Back in April, W Resources had cited the "unprecedented difficult financial and operating circumstances in which the company finds itself" due to the rise in energy prices. On Wednesday, the company refers to "extremely high liquid natural gas prices that placed an excessive cost burden on the La Parrilla mine in Spain with the further impact of the ongoing truck drivers dispute which caused a shortage of critical spare parts". Also in April, Grant Thornton UK LLP resigned as its nominated adviser and Alternative Resource Capital and Shard Capital as brokers.
W Resources on Wednesday repeats that it will continue to operate as a miner and hopes to relist on a stock exchange "should circumstances allow and when appropriate".
