    Mila Resources confirms continuous gold system at Yarrol as drilling moves toward maiden resource

    Mila Resources (LSE:MILA) has released the final assay results from its diamond drilling campaign carried out in the fourth quarter of 2025 at the Yarrol Gold Project in Queensland. The results confirm a gold system that remains continuous both laterally and at depth, with broad mineralised zones containing higher-grade shoots within them. Multi-element geochemical analysis—particularly the association of arsenic and tellurium—has helped identify vectors pointing toward the higher-grade cores and supported the development of a consistent geological model extending from surface downwards.

    In addition, the company completed a 1,600-metre reverse circulation drilling programme during the first quarter of 2026. This brings the total drilling across Mila’s Queensland portfolio to nearly 5,000 metres as the company works toward establishing a maiden mineral resource. The confirmed continuity and scale of the mineralisation at Yarrol, along with defined higher-grade zones, provide a stronger basis for extending drilling along strike and progressing resource delineation. The project also forms part of a broader exploration strategy that includes the Mt Steadman and Monal assets.

    Mila’s outlook remains constrained by weak financial fundamentals typical of early-stage exploration companies, including the absence of revenue, ongoing operating losses and negative free cash flow. Technical indicators are also bearish, with the share price trading below key moving averages and showing a negative MACD signal. However, the company maintains a low-debt balance sheet and an equity base that provides some financial stability, although valuation support remains limited due to negative earnings and the absence of a dividend.

    Pulsar Helium updates board and share capital after option exercise

    Pulsar Helium (LSE:PLSR) has announced the departure of director Brice Laurent, alongside the exercise of 450,000 stock options by his investment vehicle, Garennes Ventures B.V. The option conversion generated CAD$202,500 for the company and led to the issuance of new common shares. In a separate disclosure, Chief Financial Officer and director Dan O’Brien reported the sale of 16,500 shares, though he continues to hold a substantial combined position through both shares and stock options.

    The newly issued 450,000 common shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM around 8 April 2026 and will rank pari passu with the company’s existing shares. Following their admission, Pulsar Helium’s total issued share capital will increase to 185,224,719 common shares carrying voting rights. While the issuance results in modest dilution for existing shareholders, it also establishes an updated reference point for calculating significant shareholdings under the company’s governance and disclosure requirements.

  • S&U expects limited impact on Advantage from FCA motor finance redress scheme

    S&U expects limited impact on Advantage from FCA motor finance redress scheme

    S&U (LSE:SUS) has responded positively to the Financial Conduct Authority’s revised redress framework for motor finance commissions, stating that its Advantage Finance division has historically prioritised fair outcomes for customers. The company noted that Advantage has not used higher-risk commission models such as discretionary commission arrangements or tied commission structures. According to management, most of its commission levels fall within the FCA’s proposed redress thresholds, with around 98% of Advantage customers already outside the potential claims scope. The finalised proposals are expected to further reduce the pool of eligible cases by roughly half.

    The group added that the FCA’s simplified claims process and clearer rules for rejecting claims—particularly in situations where no better finance offer was available—should help bring the issue to a resolution by early autumn. S&U believes the provisions it has already set aside will be sufficient to cover any costs associated with the scheme. Management also stressed that the outcome is unlikely to disrupt Advantage’s growth plans, suggesting the regulatory clarity will support the division’s ongoing development.

    S&U’s outlook is supported by stronger financial performance during 2025, including a rebound in revenue, a significant improvement in cash flow and the elimination of debt. The company’s valuation metrics remain attractive, with a relatively low P/E ratio and a high dividend yield. Technical indicators remain positive but suggest the shares may be overbought due to a high RSI reading, while recent corporate developments appear constructive despite ongoing regulatory scrutiny in the motor finance sector.

    S&U plc is a UK-based specialist finance group focused on motor and property lending. Through its Advantage Finance subsidiary, the company provides hire purchase finance for used vehicles, primarily serving customers who may not qualify for mainstream credit while operating within the regulatory framework established by the Financial Conduct Authority.

  • Red Rock Resources reports half-year loss as DRC developments and asset disposals remain central

    Red Rock Resources reports half-year loss as DRC developments and asset disposals remain central

    Red Rock Resources (LSE:RRR) released unaudited results for the six months to 31 December 2025, reporting a loss of £1.73 million. The company recorded total assets of £16.94 million, while equity declined to £7.86 million as higher short-term borrowings continued to pressure its financial position. Management is relying on anticipated asset sales and progress across several key projects to support the balance sheet.

    Among these developments are activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a social housing joint venture has successfully completed a full public tender process and secured ministry-supported factory locations. The group is also progressing licence renewals in Kenya and restructuring its Australian gold interests. At the same time, Red Rock continues to await a long-delayed court ruling in the DRC related to compensation for a previously expropriated asset. The company is also seeking to appoint a new non-executive director following a recent board resignation.

    The company’s outlook is largely constrained by weak financial fundamentals, including recurring losses and continued cash burn, with leverage trending higher. Technical indicators offer some support in the short term through improved price momentum, although the longer-term trend remains under pressure. Valuation metrics are also limited by negative earnings and the absence of dividend data.

  • Camellia raises investment funds through artwork sale as Indian tea estate disposal halted

    Camellia raises investment funds through artwork sale as Indian tea estate disposal halted

    Camellia Plc (LSE:CAM), the diversified agricultural group with tea, horticulture and crop operations across several global markets, is continuing efforts to reshape its asset portfolio to support higher-return activities and long-term shareholder value. The company disclosed that the recent sale of artwork generated £3.7 million in proceeds and produced a profit of £3.6 million, with the funds set to support its Value Enhancement Plan and increase investment in operating assets expected to deliver stronger returns.

    Separately, Camellia announced that its 74%-owned Indian subsidiary, Goodricke Group, has ended the previously disclosed memorandum of understanding regarding the potential sale of the Barnesbeg Tea Estate. As a result, the estate will remain part of the group’s Indian tea operations for the time being. The decision suggests a shift away from disposing of agricultural estates, with the company instead opting to unlock value from non-core assets while continuing to invest in its core farming businesses.

    Camellia’s outlook remains influenced by challenging financial performance, including ongoing losses and negative cash flow. Technical indicators also point to bearish momentum in the share price. While the company offers a relatively high dividend yield, the negative P/E ratio and weak underlying financial metrics continue to weigh on the overall investment profile.

    More about Camellia

  • Alumasc appoints Pamela Bingham as Chief Executive Officer

    Alumasc appoints Pamela Bingham as Chief Executive Officer

    Alumasc (LSE:ALU) has confirmed the appointment of Pamela Bingham as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 April 2026. Bingham had been serving as CEO Designate since 2 March 2026 and now formally succeeds Paul Hooper, who retired on 31 March 2026. The leadership change forms part of a planned succession process aimed at maintaining strategic continuity while supporting the group’s development in the sustainable building products sector.

    The company’s outlook is underpinned by solid financial performance and a relatively attractive valuation. Alumasc benefits from a stable balance sheet and a comparatively high dividend yield, which strengthen its investment profile. However, technical indicators currently signal bearish momentum, suggesting a degree of caution despite the group’s strong underlying fundamentals.

  • One Media iP improves profits as TCAT disposal sharpens focus on music rights

    One Media iP improves profits as TCAT disposal sharpens focus on music rights

    One Media iP Group (LSE:OMIP) reported stronger profitability for the year ended 31 October 2025, despite a slight dip in revenue, as cost-control measures and the sale of its non-core TCAT business supported earnings. EBITDA increased to £2.1 million, operating profit rose to £1.2 million and profit before tax reached £0.9 million. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations surged by 80%, while net debt declined, helped by lower administrative expenses and reduced losses from discontinued operations.

    Strategically, the company has tightened its focus on its core music intellectual property activities following the TCAT divestment. As part of the transaction, One Media retained a 5% shareholding in TCAT’s buyer, Round Group, and secured an exclusive licence for a major classic rock podcast catalogue to expand its digital content offering. Growth in YouTube views and subscriber numbers, renewed media interest in its Take That-related rights and continued expansion in music streaming are expected to support the group’s strategy centred on catalogue management, disciplined margins and scalable digital distribution. The board has chosen to suspend dividends for now in order to preserve capital and maintain flexibility for potential corporate opportunities.

    The company’s outlook is shaped mainly by its financial performance, which reflects declining revenue and profitability but stronger cash flow management. Technical indicators suggest negative momentum in the share price, while valuation metrics remain weak due to negative earnings. The absence of recent earnings call information or major corporate developments means these factors do not currently influence the overall assessment.

  • Babcock secures interim MOD deal ahead of long-term submarine support contract

    Babcock secures interim MOD deal ahead of long-term submarine support contract

    Babcock International (LSE:BAB) has agreed a six-month bridging contract with the UK Ministry of Defence under the Future Maritime Support Programme, ensuring continuity of naval base operations and nuclear submarine support services after the previous five-year FMSP contract expired on 31 March 2026. The arrangement is accompanied by a Letter of Intent that reinforces Babcock’s long-term strategic partnership with the MOD and the Royal Navy, reflecting the company’s position as the sole provider of in-service support for the UK’s submarine fleet.

    The interim agreement is expected to transition into a new long-term contract aligned with the UK’s Strategic Defence Review and Defence Industrial Strategy. The upcoming framework is set to support expanded activity at the Clyde and Devonport naval bases while enabling the transition from the current Vanguard-class nuclear deterrent submarines to the next-generation Dreadnought class. Both Babcock and MOD officials said the deal helps maintain operational resilience across the submarine fleet while supporting continued investment in skills, infrastructure and local communities, reinforcing the UK’s sovereign defence industrial capabilities.

    Babcock’s outlook is supported by strengthening financial performance and a recent earnings update that reaffirmed margin targets alongside solid cash generation. While technical indicators point to a well-established upward share price trend, they also suggest the stock may be overbought in the near term. Valuation metrics remain a potential constraint, with a relatively elevated P/E ratio and a modest dividend yield.

  • Derwent London updates total voting rights and issued share capital

    Derwent London updates total voting rights and issued share capital

    Derwent London plc (LSE:DLN) has confirmed that its issued share capital consists of 112,297,122 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 5 pence each. All of these shares carry voting rights, and none are currently held in treasury. Accordingly, the company’s total voting rights also amount to 112,297,122, which serves as the official reference figure shareholders should use when determining whether they must disclose changes in their holdings under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s transparency and disclosure requirements.

    The announcement establishes the denominator used for regulatory reporting, enabling investors and other stakeholders to calculate their ownership positions against the company’s full voting share base. By confirming that no shares are held in treasury, Derwent London highlights that every issued share currently contributes to shareholder voting rights, an important consideration for institutions monitoring disclosure thresholds and governance obligations.

    Derwent London’s outlook is supported by signs of improving financial performance and a broadly positive management outlook centred on shareholder returns. This includes upgraded estimated rental value guidance, continued leasing activity and capital recycling initiatives. These factors are balanced by weaker technical indicators, including negative momentum and a bearish price trend, alongside near-term earnings pressure stemming from higher financing costs and significant development capital expenditure.

  • Shearwater announces board change as trading remains in line with expectations

    Shearwater announces board change as trading remains in line with expectations

    Shearwater Group plc (LSE:SWG), a provider of cybersecurity advisory and managed security services, has confirmed that Non-Executive Director Giles Willits has stepped down from the board effective 1 April 2026 after serving the company for more than ten years. The change follows the earlier appointment of Robin Southwell as chair, a transition the board says has been smooth and has strengthened leadership continuity at the company.

    The group has now started an advanced search process to appoint a new Non-Executive Director, reflecting its ongoing emphasis on maintaining strong governance and board oversight. At the same time, management said business performance continues to track market expectations, with new contract opportunities advancing through the pipeline. The company noted that it is entering the second half of FY26 with growing confidence in its strategy and its ability to meet its stated goals, providing reassurance for investors and stakeholders.

    Shearwater’s outlook is currently weighed down by weaker financial quality, including ongoing operating losses and declining free cash flow despite strong revenue growth. These factors are partially balanced by favourable short-term technical signals, with the share price trading above the 20-day and 50-day moving averages and a positive MACD indicator. Valuation metrics remain limited by a negative P/E ratio due to losses and the absence of a reported dividend yield.
