Anglo American finance boss sells again
A round-up of the biggest director deals today so far.
Anglo American's finance director Rene Medori has pocketed £450,000 from the sale of shares in the mining giant.He offloaded 15,000 at 3,000p a pop, in his second big sale of shares this month. On 7 June he sold the same amount at just over 3,000p a share.Today's sale leaves him with a beneficial interest in 54,000 shares, a spokesman for the company told ShareCast.The shares have eased slightly since 3 May, when he sold 10,000 shares at 3,131p a time, but over the past year shares in the company have rallied sharply in line with the commodity markets.Anglo American accounts for 40% of the world's supply of platinum and also mines for diamonds, copper, coal and other commodities. Revenues and profits soared in 2010 as the company benefited from commodity prices continuing to recover from the 2008/09 financial crisis.However, it was a soggy first quarter of 2011 for the company with rainfall hindering production of iron ore, metallurgical coal and copper, though output of platinum, nickel, thermal coal and diamonds increased. Medori has been with Anglo since 2005.Top Director BuysCanaccord Financial Inc. (CF.)
