(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Monday.

AIM - WINNERS

Nativo Resources PLC, up 40% at 0.56 pence, 12-month range 0.23p-3.15p. Reports initial results from its Bonanza surface sampling programme in Peru, confirming gold grades consistent with economic mining and supporting plans to restart production. The gold-focused miner says assays from surface trenching along interpreted veins within the Tesoro Concession validate historical data from St Elias Mines and align with results from its own recent underground rehabilitation and sampling work. Near-mine samples return localised grades of up to 19.5 grams per tonne of gold, averaging around 10 grams per tonne. The programme covers around 400 hectares and includes about 250 samples from 20 trenches. Nativo adds that the work also expands the prospectivity of the wider Tesoro Concession, strengthening confidence in both near-term production potential and longer-term exploration upside. CEO Stephen Birrell says: "The sampling programme has confirmed, in the view of the directors, that the Bonanza vein has the required grades for mining to restart. In addition, it is pleasing to see high surface grades south of Bonanza which indicate potential for at least one - and potentially two - further mine sites in addition to Morrocota."

IQE PLC, up 36% at 9.95p, 12-month range 8.20p-10.51p. Reports "positive" trading in the second half of 2025, supported by stronger-than-expected demand from military and defence programmes and new handset launches. The compound semiconductor supplier says faster funding releases for some US defence programmes and photonics demand drive performance toward the upper end of its financial 2025 guidance, with revenue of around GBP97 million and adjusted Ebitda of at least GBP2.0 million. IQE also receives a waiver from HSBC Holdings PLC on its fourth-quarter 2025 Ebitda covenant test. Entering 2026, the group reports a "strong" first quarter order book. Wireless demand momentum is expected to continue, IQE says. The company adds that it continues to progress its strategic review, with non-binding offers under discussion for the group and selected assets.

AIM - LOSERS

Earnz PLC, down 5.9% at 4.75p, 12-month range 6.00p-3.15p. The Cheltenham, England-based energy services company says results for 2025 are "in line with expectations". The period represented its first full year of trading. It notes Cosgrove & Drew Ltd and South West Heating Services Ltd, acquired in August 2024, outperformed the consolidated forecast for them in 2025. "We are further delighted with recent awards in the public sector in Dorset and Leeds, which will also offer significant opportunities for long term profitable growth," Earnz adds.
