Kirkland Lake's Milton boosts stake by £½m
LONDON (ShareCast) - Kirkland Lake Gold (KGI.TO - news) director George Milton has dug deep and spent more than £½m on shares
in the Canada based mining company.He bought 150,000 shares at $7.20 (355p) each, taking his stake to 2.17m shares, or 3.9% of the business. That was not enough to save the shares though, as investors focused on a drop in the price of gold to an eight-week low of $862 an ounce. The dollar's rally versus the euro made the yellow metal less attractive. Last month, Kirkland narrowed full-year losses to C$3.35m from C$8.38m a year earlier on revenues up to C$41.44m from C$36.66m. Gold production for the coming fiscal year is expected to be in the range of 58,000 to 62,000 ounces, the group added.
