Lansdowne Oil & Gas Rebrands to Lansdowne Resources

By

Lansdowne Oil & Gas changed its name to Lansdowne Resources (LRES.L) and revised its ticker symbol on the London bourse's AIM segment to LRES, effective Wednesday.

The name change follows Lansdowne's acquisition of Brazilian graphite mining company São Gabriel Mineração, and reflects the enlarged group's transition from an oil and gas-focused company to a diversified natural resources business, according to a Friday filing.

The company also said it continues to pursue its Energy Charter Treaty arbitration claim against the Government of Ireland and has implemented a capital restructuring to ring-fence 80% of the net proceeds of any successful claim for qualifying shareholders.
