STOCK WATCH

SHARES in Katoro Gold flew after the miner revealed it is ready to press ahead with its Imweru project.

The Aim-listed firm halted a study last month while it assessed whether the Tanzanian site was economically feasible. The Tanzanian government has been squeezing miners operating in the country for more cash.

However, yesterday Katoro said it believed it was worth sticking with the mine, and shares exploded 143.8pc, or 1.15p, to 1.95p.
