More Ajax (AQSE: AJAX), the natural resources investment company, announced that it has signed a Heads of Terms to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Pereira Velho Exploração S.A., a Brazilian company that owns the Pereira Velho Gold Project in Alagoas State, Brazil. Author @ZaksTradersCafe PVESA is wholly owned by entities affiliated with Appian Capital Advisory Limited Appian holds approximately US$5 billion in assets under management, making it one of the world’s largest dedicated mining-focused private equity groups. Under the terms of the Proposed Acquisition, Appian will become a significant shareholder in Ajax upon completion in the wake of the latest £1m fundraise. Comment: AJAX’s strategy of focusing on unloved, high value projects, where ideally significant money / work has already been done pays off in spades in terms of attracting the attention of one of the most significant players in the space. In Appian Ajax is rubbing shoulders with a star of the sector, and we should see the arrangement deliver significant value for shareholders. Tiger Alpha Plc (TIR), an investment vehicle focused on incubating technology and mining projects, announced that Colin Bird, Non-Executive Chair, has tendered his resignation and Brian Stockbridge, currently Non-Executive Director, will take up the post on an interim basis when the resignation takes effect, being 31 December 2025. Jonathan Bixby, Chief Executive Officer comments: “the Board would like to thank Colin for his experience and guidance directed towards the natural resource sector. Whilst the Company continues to hold a portfolio relating to mining projects – on which Colin has agreed to provide future advice if requested – Tiger is increasingly focussed on identifying and investing in specific technology enterprises. We look forward to welcoming Brian to his interim role at the Company; however we will be working towards identifying and appointing a full time Chair by the end of Q1, 2026”. Comment: It would appear that our Brian has an increasingly busy life on the corporate front, over and above First Sentinel: a case of poacher turned gamekeeper. Indeed, not far off how busy Mr Bird is with his listed PLC’s. Incanthera (AQSE:ICA), the company focused on innovative technologies in dermatology and oncology, presented its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025. ICA said “This period has seen the launch of our Skin+CELL skincare range launched globally via our dedicated Direct To Consumer website www.skinandcell.com. Establishing any new brand into a marketplace takes time, however, since launch, we have seen steady increases month on month, in traction across social media, hits to our website and conversion to sales. This is recognised in the positive feedback we have received from all users of the product range, unanimous in its praise on the dramatic effects on their skin, across all demographics.” Comment: Having tried the product I can say that it really should be on sale at more than just the company’s website. It should be a Boots / Superdrug job. It will be difficult to get traction however good the Skin+CELL is, without mainstream distribution and awareness. Great Southern Copper plc (GSCU), the company focused on copper-gold-silver exploration in Chile, provide a progress update for its Phase III drilling campaign at Cerro Negro, including reporting of assay results for the first three drill holes. GSCU said “Phase III drilling at Mostaza continues to deliver exciting high-grade copper-silver results demonstrating the strength and continuity of the copper-silver system at Cerro Negro. Significantly, the recent drilling at Mostaza has successfully extended high-grade mineralisation both along strike and down plunge, with the discovery of new mineralised lenses suggesting a multiple stacked lens architecture to the system – a feature that materially enhances the potential scale of the deposit.” Comment: Great coverage was given to GSCU here at Zakstraderscafe.com ahead of the company getting on the radar as far as retail investors were concerned. Thank you. I think the message is “don’t forget me when you are famous.” Quantum Helium Limited (QHE), advancing helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon projects in the USA, is pleased to announce that it has increased its working interest in the Sagebrush Helium Project from 82.5% to 90% following the acquisition of Jackal Oil Company’s minority interest. The Company is also reported on progress across its helium portfolio in Colorado. Comment: It is about a month since QHE changed its name from Mosman to QHE, and so far we have not quite had the change analogous to the one seen from Ziggy Stardust to Aladdin Sane. But it could still happen. Perhaps the big transformation here like so many helium plays, is to be actually producing the stuff in proper amounts. Fusion Antibodies plc (FAB), specialists in pre-clinical antibody discovery, engineering and supply for both therapeutic drug and diagnostic applications, announced that ahead of the commercial launch of the OptiMAL® Human Antibody Discovery platform at the Antibody Engineering and Technology conference in San Diego on 15 December 2025, Fusion has prepared a short video of Dr Richard Buick, CSO, explaining some of the features, science and technology behind the Company’s Mammalian Display technology. https://investorhub.fusionantibodies.com/s/7ea305 . Comment: Well, of course we all like a Mammalian Display video at this time of year, it is like one of the big adverts from John Lewis or Asda. In the case of FAB it is good to see the company spending some time in the San Diego sun plying its wares. Accsys (AXS), the world’s leading supplier of premium, high performance and sustainable wood building materials, has appointed Progressive Research to initiate coverage and provide ongoing equity research on the Group. An initiation research document by Alaistair Stewart was published on 9 December 2025 and is freely available to retail and institutional investors. Comment: Apparently Alaistair Stewart is part of a 15 strong team at Progressive Research, which has an extensive network of wealth managers, smaller institutions and family offices. There is no explanation as to why an extra i has been added to his name, perhaps to distinguish him from the newsreader. Presumably, this note will get lots of buyers in the stock, and really build up company awareness. Putting the company’s EPIC code in the RNS would have helped too. https://progressive-research.com/research/transformed-product-transformative-strategy/ Alien Metals Ltd (UFO), a minerals exploration and development company, announced a placing of 2,000,000,000 new common shares of no par value each in the Company at an issue price of 0.09 pence to raise gross proceeds of £1.8 million from investors. The Company is also delighted to announce that subject to completion of the customary appointment process including due diligence by the Company’s Nominated Adviser, Mr Michael Carter will be appointed as a new independent non-executive director of the Company. Comment: We’ve had a bit of a run up in the share price, new management, and it is nearly Christmas, the perfect backdrop for a fundraise. Well done for getting it away just two weeks before Santa comes to town. GEO Exploration Limited (GEO), announced an update for the recently acquired Gorge Project which comprises a new exploration licence for gold located in Western Australia. The primary focus for the Gorge Project is early-stage exploration for large scale gold deposits in an area that has historically only seen sparse exploration despite encouraging results from previous work. The Gorge gold project expands the Company’s portfolio of highly prospective projects and provides a further opportunity for a potential transformational discovery. GEO said “With the key conditions of the licence acquisition now completed, we are now in a position to advance what is shaping into a highly compelling gold opportunity. The exceptional historical grades and the recovery of multiple near-surface gold nuggets – including pieces over 100 grams – all point toward the presence of a significant gold system at Gorge. With airborne survey work set to commence in Q1 and drilling planned for later in 2026, we are extremely encouraged by the scale and potential of this project.” Comment: GEO understandably seems quite chuffed with today’s announcement, one that could very well be enough to trigger the kind of rally in the stock we were treated to between July – September this year. A scalable project at this time in the cycle would be just the ticket. Connecting Excellence Group Plc (AQSE: XCE), the international executive recruitment group with a long term, ambitious and disciplined Bitcoin treasury strategy, announced that its Ordinary Shares will today be admitted to trading on the Aquis Growth Market. Dealings will commence at 8:00 am under the ticker ‘XCE’. The Company’s ISIN is GB00BVBHDF21. Further to the £500k raised through its several times oversubscribed WRAP Retail Offer, as announced on 8 December 2025, XCE has successfully raised gross proceeds of a further £2.8m through a Placing and Subscription for a total of 133,333,341 new Ordinary Shares with institutional and other investors at the price of £0.021 per share. The Company notes that the Placing, like its WRAP Retail offer, was significantly oversubscribed. The Company has now raised a total of £3.3m through its IPO. Comment: It will be interesting to see how one of the recent Bitcoin treasury strategy companies, but with a difference, does on the market given the hangover we clearly have from the early summer bubble. May god bless her and all who sail with her, is the message here. East Star Resources Plc (EST), the Kazakhstan-focused gold and base metals explorer, announced it has signed binding Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) to establish a joint venture company (“JVCo”) pursuant to which Hong Kong Xinhai Mining Services Limited will farm in, in five stages, for up to 70% of the Verkhuba Copper Deposit, taking the project into production. Xinhai is a privately owned, global process engineering and contracting company that specialises in providing engineering design, procurement, construction (“EPC”) services and contract mining services to the mining industry. Comment: The market was slow to appreciate the Endeavour JV, but it would appear that EST has got a serious Chinese takeaway that the market can get its teeth into. If nothing else the 20% share price rise this morning gets some proper value in to the company.
