IDE Group Holdings PLC - Edinburgh-based network, cloud and IT managed services - Auditors request further time to complete work on firm's 2021 results. "The delay in publication relates to the cumulative impact of Covid, including related staff absences from Covid and the resulting knock on impact on the audit process, as previously announced," it says. Expects release before end of September. Had already delayed results, and was expecting them towards the end of July. Previously notes results are expected to show trading Ebitda of GBP3.0 million, but this could "potentially increase" as a result of various potential non-trading audit adjustments.

Galantas Gold Corp - Northern Ireland-focused gold producer - Closes CAD6.9 million, about USD5.3 million, private placement, after upping fundraising with previously hoping to raise CAD4 million. Sells 14.8 million units at CAD0.45 each and further 506,667 units at same price. Each unit holds one share and one-half share warrant. Each warrant can be exchanged for one share, at CAD0.55, until February 28.

Phoenix Global Resources PLC - London-based upstream oil and gas company focused on Argentina - Says shareholder holding 2% of issued capital sends letter to firm about "certain claims alleged against the company and other parties." Adds: "The board is taking legal advice in relation to the letter and believes the claims that it alleges to be without merit." Has previously proposed delisting from AIM and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, providing a "cash exit opportunity for shareholders" in the process. Major shareholder Mercuria Energy Group Ltd, which holds an 84% stake, proposes purchasing shares at 7.5p each under the exit opportunity, a 25% premium to its closing price on June 25, the day before it discussed a potential delisting with Mercuria. Will hold general meeting on September 1 to gain at least 75% shareholder approval for the delisting and the scheme.
