Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MINMET fell from its 10.5p peak to 9.5p despite an "encouraging" report from its gold-seeking 78.73 per cent owned offshoot, Crediton Minerals, on prospects at its Devon exploration. Results of work in the Crediton Trough area showed "further evidence of elevated gold values over a wide area". The site, it was said, had close similarities to Czech deposits where gold had been mined for hundreds of years. CM, traded on the fringe Ofex market, fell 3p to 33.5p after an early jump.
BTG, the old British Technology Group, hardened 11p to 702.5p ahead of figures today. There are hopes of positive developments at its Torotrak gearbox subsidiary. One possibility is a licensing deal with a major car maker. Talk is also in the air that BTG may disclose when it plans to demerge Torotrak, a move which could highlight the group's other operations.
