Administrators of Eastern Goldfields say their preliminary investigations into the Michael Fotios-led company show it may have been trading while insolvent for as long as 15 months before its collapse in November.

A report from Ferrier Hodgsons Martin Jones and Andrew Smith shows the company could have fallen into insolvency as early as August 2017, when operations began at the Davyhurst mine near Kalgoorlie, with cash flows failing to cover operating costs and trade payments.

From that point the same month the company spent one day in the hands of court-appointed administrators after falling foul of a wind-up application its financial troubles deepened.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) – A Colorado-based coal company going through bankruptcy proceedings has asked for permission to sell its mine in southwestern Wyoming.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports a recent court filing shows Westmoreland Coal Co. requested to sell its Kemmerer mine by the end of February.

The company declared bankruptcy in October with more than $1.4 billion in debt amid declining demand for the fuel.

It has attempted to cut retiree benefits and end its contract with union miners.

The company argued that parties interested in buying the mine would not buy with the union contract in place.

Spliethoff Group has confirmed its purchase of five multipurpose (MPP) heavylift vessels from the fleet of bankrupt operator Hansa Heavy Lift (HHL).

The Dutch MPP operator has acquired four 12,750-dwt F-type ships and one 20,100-dwt P-type for an undisclosed price.

It is buying the vessels a month after the German company was declared insolvent with a fleet of 11 heavylift MPP ships.

There were 209 corporate insolvencies recorded for the period 1 October to 31 December, eight more than the same quarter in 2017-18.

This number included 129 compulsory liquidations, 80 creditors voluntary liquidations and 122 members voluntary liquidations. No receiverships were recorded in the last quarter.

Overall, corporate insolvency numbers in Scotland for the whole of 2018 were 21% higher than in 2017, and were at their highest level since 2012.

Jim Cooper, chair of R3 in Scotland, the insolvency and restructuring trade body, said: Its not especially surprising to see corporate insolvencies in Scotland at a higher level in 2018 than in the previous year, as 2017 recorded the lowest number of annual corporate insolvencies for quite so…

A seized $47 million stake in gold miner Tribune Resources is finally on the market, with investment bank Morgan Stanley mandated to offload the shares inside six months.

Interest in the stock, however, is uncertain given governance issues around Tribune and the companys liquidation of its large gold inventory last year to support a special dividend.

The Takeovers Panel ordered the forced divestment of most of the 26 per cent Tribune stake held by its sister company Rand Mining in late October.

The decision comes after investigations which found that investment entities associated with Tribune and Rands managing director, Anton Billis, had materially misinformed Tribune shareholders about his true ownership of the company.
