INSIDER TRADING (September 02, 1991)

A couple of Timmins Nickel (TSE) executives took the opportunity recently to cash in on the company’s high flying share price.

According to the Ontario Securities Commission OSC Bulletin, Chairman Charles Howard sold 150,000 shares last month for $1.25-1.26 to hold 437,000. At the same time, Vice-President Koos Schippers sold 25,000 shares for 89 cents-$1.12 to hold 211,705 shares directly and 1.1 million indirectly. Driven by a recent private placement and strong nickel prices, Timmins Nickel shares peaked in July at $1.40, compared with their 52-week low of 42 cents. More recently, as profit takers moved in, the issue slipped back to $1.13. Other mining insiders who were active in the stock market recently include: Aber Resources (TSE) director Thatcher Townsend sold 26,800 shares for 81 cents to $1.31 to hold 193,150.
