Fingers crossedā¦ everyone investing more?
I took a few more today. Will probably start adding a little again here and there till i reach a figure i like, or Iām back in the green.
Back when i first invested in BEN it was one of my biggest holdings and when it went up to Ā£1 it was at top of my porfolio,
I didnāt sell a single share and watched it come all the way back down to me being -40%. Itās not even in my top 10 anymore. So while that second highwall can now start doing itās thing i think itās safe now for me to start adding some more.
Iām here for the dividend and am prepared to wait.

Bens Creek Group plc
(āBens Creekā or the āCompanyā)
Marketing and sales services agreement with Avani
Bens Creek Group plc (AIM:BEN), the owner of a metallurgical coal mine in North America supplying the steel industry, has, on 25 July 2023, entered into a non-exclusive marketing and sales services agreement (the āMarketing Agreementā) with Avani Resources Pte Ltd (āAvaniā), the Companyās largest shareholder.
Terms of the Marketing Agreement
Under the terms of the Marketing Agreement, Avani shall market coal produced by Bens Creek. The Company has, until now, undertaken all of its coal sales through Integrity Coal Sales, Inc. New York (āIntegrityā). Under the Marketing Agreement Avani will bid for product from the Company on similar terms to that currently offered by Integrity.
Bens Creek and Avani shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a separate sale agreement for the sale and purchase of each parcel of coal. Bens Creek and Avani shall mutually discuss and agree the commercial terms and conditions for each such sale agreement.
The Company and Avani may terminate the Marketing Agreement on three monthsā prior written notice to the other party and the Marketing Agreement shall be terminated automatically if Avani is no longer a shareholder in Bens Creek.
Related party transaction
Bens Creek entering into the Marketing Agreement with Avani is deemed to be a transaction with a related party pursuant to rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies by virtue of Avani being a 29.86% shareholder of the Company. The directors of the Company (who are all independent of Avani) consider, having consulted with the Companyās nominated adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, that the terms of the Marketing Agreement with Avani are fair and reasonable insofar as the Companyās shareholders are concerned and as such have approved the Company entering into the Marketing Agreement.
Adam Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Bens Creek, commented:
āWe have been examining the possibility of expanding our sales channels which to date has been driven exclusively through our offtake partner Integrity. We have been very pleased with the service provided by Integrity and we will continue to utilise their services. The addition of Avani, who bring tremendous subcontinent expertise (in particular in India, which is set to become the Worldās largest market), will provide us with both competition for our product and greatly increase exposure of Bens Creek coal within our target market.ā

4 trains a month about to increase as double shifts put BEN into full production. EOY results due 27th September followed by an updated WHI broker report and announcement of AGM. Waiting on a new CFO and maybe see some of the insiders topping up after the 27th. Coal is back up to $230/T now and still set to rise with increased demand for steel in Asia, especially India which is where the majority of Bensā coal is headed. B/E was around Ā£200/T but economy of scale has reduced that putting BEN into profit again. Avani paid 18p. MBU converted loans at 30p. Today the sp is just 16p. GL.
