** Stock briefly top percentage gainer on the LSE, rising sharply for the second consecutive day

** The funds from an affiliate of Elliott Management, its largest shareholder with a 27.7 pct stake, will allow the co to meet its corporate requirements for about three months, while it searches for longer term funding options

** Avocet, battered by low gold prices, adds that limited operations have resumed at its Inata process plant in Burkina Faso, following a crippling labour strike at the mine in December
