More than £130 million was wiped off the value of Peter Hambro Mining after an official at Russia’s environment watchdog indicated that it may revoke five of the goldminer’s licences.
Oleg Mitvol, deputy head of the agency, said that Hambro had either violated environmental rules or done nothing to develop sites. “This is one of those companies that simply take licences to keep them on their balance [sheet], thus increasing capitalisation, but in reality they do not develop the deposits,” he told Mosnews, a Russian news website.
Hambro said it was seeking clarification and was not aware of any environmental breach.
Mr Mitvol is becoming a familiar figure to the natural resources industry, with his department recently filing complaints against Rosneft and Shell. In September, he accused Highland Gold of safety breaches after a fatal mine fire, a charge that proved largely unfounded.
“At face value it looks to us more like sabre-rattling than reality,” George Lequime, analyst at RBC, said. Hambro shares closed off 165p at £10.25, having rallied from an 11-month low of 956p.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
