London copper prices rose slightly on Wednesday as investors hoped that central banks around the world would launch stimulus measures to blunt the economic impact of the fast-spreading coronavirus.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose 0.1% to $5,691 a tonne by 0451 GMT, although gains were limited and the contract fell as much as 0.5% in early trade as the outbreak rapidly escalated outside China.
KEFI Minerals plc (LON:KEFI) is an exploration and development company focussed on gold and copper deposits, primarily in the highly prospective Arabian-Nubian Shield.
