STOCK WATCH

WEATHERLY International shares tanked after the copper miner launched a strategic review that could see it put up for sale.

The Aim-listed company is desperate for cash to pay down its debts and to press ahead with its purchase of a site in Zambia.

However, in a separate release, the miner said it was struggling to repay its loans to Orion and is in talks about restructuring its debts. Shares plunged 63.3pc, or 0.38p, to 0.22p.
