AIM movers: ADM Energy premium funding, while Rockfire Resources discounts

Oil and gas company ADM Energy (LON: ADME) has agreed a £500,000 subscription at 1.2p a share and a $250,000 loan with Tennessee Black Gold.

The Tennessee Black Gold loan will be drawn down in five tranches of $50,000 and matures on 28 October 2024. The interest rate on the loan is 6%. The cash will pay off creditors and fund working capital while costs are being reduced. Osa Okhomina is stepping down as chief executive when the money is received. Tennessee Black Gold can appoint two directors.

Mosman Oil & Gas (LON: MSMN) announced a quarter-on-quarter decline in net production from 8,815 to 6,958 barrels of oil equivalent, but that was due to there being no contribution from Falcon.

The share price is 15.4% higher at 0.075p.
