Secures up to £1.0 million in interest-free convertible loan note funding to advance its maiden drill programme in Ontario, Canada. The explorer agrees the funding with an international investor, with an initial £350,000 tranche expected shortly and further tranches available over a 12-month period. The company says proceeds are used to initiate drilling at the Sunbeam property and for general working capital, while also accelerating the final C$100,000 payment to secure 100% ownership of the Kerrs Gold prope74rty, which hosts a historical 386,000-ounce gold resource. First Class Metals says winter conditions now allow drilling to begin at Sunbeam, with a programme being finalised, and adds that the funding positions the group to progress exploration amid higher gold prices. ---------- KR1 PLC, up down 12% at 17.61 pence, 12-month range 17.55p-28.00p.
