Trading during Black Friday and the subsequent festive trading period was "strong". It expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation for 2025 in line with market expectations, which it puts at GBP48.5 million.

"The new release line up for 2026 is set to be one of everplay's most exciting and extensive to date, including new instalments of first-party IP franchises such as Hell Let Loose: Vietnam and Golf With Your Friends 2 as well as significant new partnerships with platforms such as Netflix," the firm adds.

Savannah Resources PLC - developing Barroso lithium project in northern Portugal - An official signing of a Portuguese state grant occurred on Tuesday, in a ceremony that included the nation's Prime Minister Luis Montenegro. It follows the award of a grant up to roughly EUR100 million for Savannah, from the Portuguese state and supported by national funds under the European Commission Temporary Crisis & Transition Framework. During the event, Montenegro labelled lithium "fundamental for the green transition", Savannah reports. "We want to be less and less dependent, and it is with projects like these that we can achieve this goal, from extraction - which must be done with the least possible environmental impact - to industrialisation in the production of batteries that will be essential for the automotive sector in Portugal," the Portuguese PM added.

Ariana Resources PLC - mineral exploration, development and production company with gold project interests in Africa and Europe - It notes "resource expansion opportunities" after drilling in the main and south zones of the Tavsan Mine in Turkey. It owns just under 24% of the mine. Drilling continues in the west and east zones. "The latest drilling highlights significant potential for growth at the south zone, with a significant area remaining untested," Ariana adds.
----------
Artemis Resources Ltd - gold, copper and lithium focused mining company with projects in Western Australia - Diamond drilling at the Titan East gold discovery resumes. The asset is part of the Carlow gold and copper project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The assays pending from December drilling are expected "during the March quarter".
----------
Tan Delta Systems PLC - provider of oil-quality monitoring and maintenance systems for commercial and industrial equipment - Sees revenue for 2025 at GBP1.2 million, 20% ahead of management expectations. Tan Delta says: "During the year, the company continued to execute on its business plan to bring real time oil condition monitoring to industrial and commercial companies operating rotating equipment that relies upon oil for reliable operation. This has and continues to entail Tan Delta engaging in managed trials and small deployments across a broad cross section of customers ranging from large multi-nationals with extensive equipment estates to smaller localised users. The FY 2026 pipeline of interest for Tan Delta's solutions remains strong." Revenue in 2024 also amounted to GBP1.2 million.

Its adjusted loss before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation is expected to be around GBP2.5 million. "2025 was a year of three milestones: product range, basket margin and fulfilment. We have improved our customer proposition through better range consistency, and choice in both Discount Dragon and Nutricircle, resulting in better basket margin in both brands, and achieved divisional operational profitability. We still have work to do to further develop both of these brands and especially Boop Beauty. We can now see an improving supply chain for Boop, that will, I believe, allow us to continue to move this brand in the right direction," Chief Executive Officer Michael Ashley says.

The acquisition of CFDS has expanded the group's activities further into critical national infrastructure, strengthening our delivery of resilient, mission-critical solutions. Our strategy of close collaboration with customers continues to drive growth through the development of class-leading products, software and services. We enter 2026 with confidence in delivering on another year of significant growth," Chief Executive Russ Singleton says.
