(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings and trading updates by London-listed companies, issued on Monday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Panther Metals PLC - exploration company focused on mineral projects in Canada - Says it is evaluating opportunities to recover magnesium from serpentine at the Dotted Lake Project, as part of investigations to judge its potential, and is particularly interested in alternative extraction technologies capable of improving upon conventional leaching recoveries. This follows the previously reported results of the 2024 five-hole exploration drill and soil geochemical sampling programme, which Panther says confirmed that Dotted Lake hosts multiple styles of mineralisation, including ultramafic-hosted chromium, nickel, platinum group elements and magnesium, and structurally controlled gold, and zinc potential. This also confirmed the Dotted Lake ultramafic magmatic intrusive to be a magnesium-bearing serpentinised peridotite, it adds. Says it has submitted 134 kilograms of crushed serpentinite drill core for magnesium investigatory test work by Test Design Implement Solutions LLC, with the initial phase to focus on a high-level assessment of magnesium recovery from serpentine using Extrakt Process Solutions LLC's proprietary extraction technology. This is intended to generate baseline metal recovery and process performance data, which will inform and support the design and optimisation of subsequent test phases. Previously, on Thursday, Panther Metals signs a non-binding letter of interest with Traxys Europe SA, a division of commodity trading and marketing firm Traxys Group, concerning Panther's Winston Tailings Project. Says the LOI is a formal recognition of an ongoing engagement between both parties as the firm progresses work to declare a mineral resource estimate.

PCI-PAL PLC - London-based secure payment solutions provider - Signs "major new integrated reseller partnership with a leading global vendor in the business communications, AI and CX technology space." Says this follows a successful collaboration "across multiple mutual enterprise customers in North America, Europe and Australia." The client will resell PCI-PAL's secure payment and engagement solutions to its global customer base through its direct sales organisation and its international partners. PCI-PAL says sales and marketing enablement has commenced and initial pipeline generation is starting, and it expects a full commercial product launch expected later in the current financial year. "The new partnership not only expands PCI Pal's partner ecosystem but also further strengthens its position within the enterprise CX technology market," the company says.

United Oil & Gas PLC - mining company with an exploration asset in Jamaica - Completes stage 2 of its surface geochemical exploration programme, involving heat-flow measurements, and commences stage 3 piston coring operations on the Walton-Morant Licence, offshore Jamaica. Says the heat-flow measurements will provide valuable technical information for future geological modelling. Has integrated data from its previously completed stage 1 high-resolution multibeam echosounder acquisition with the existing seismic dataset, which it says has resulted in the identification of numerous seabed features of interest and the selection of 42 optimal piston core locations for stage 3. Says stage 3 will recover seabed sediment samples for geochemical analysis to test for thermogenic hydrocarbons. If these are present, they will provide direct physical evidence of an active petroleum system. Expects piston coring to take approximately one week, subject to weather conditions.

Blue Star Capital PLC - Investor focused on blockchain, e-sports, and payments - Agrees to offset EUR250,000 of the outstanding debt due from investee SatoshiPay Ltd. It previously in July loaned SatoshiPay GBP1.0 million for the latter's digital asset treasury, and in October gained an option to to participate in a further SAFE ('Simple Agreement for Future Equity') round. This allowed it to invest up to a further EUR250,000 until the end of January. As of Monday, Blue Star has also entered another SAFE with SatoshiPay for EUR293,634 at a capped valuation of EUR2.5 million. Expects its shareholding to be no less than approximately 58% of SatoshiPay upon the SAFEs' full conversion. SatoshiPay has also granted Blue Star an option to invest up to a further EUR500,000 at a pre-money valuation of EUR10.0 million, with a one-year exercise period. Finally, Blue Star says it will receive a cash payment of EUR115,000 from SatoshiPay as a further partial repayment of the loan. Expects this to provide sufficient working capital until the end of this year.

Arkle Resources PLC - exploration company with gold, zinc and lithium assets in Ireland, Botswana and Zimbabwe - Says it completed a transformative acquisition of four uranium exploration licences in Namibia's Erongo Region last month, which "cover prime acreage in one of Africa's key uranium belts." Says multiple geochemical and radiometric anomalies have been identified and that 2025 grab samples have assayed up to 3,855 parts per million of triuranium octoxide. Company is now fully funded to conduct "priority" exploration work. Phase 1 will include four lines of horizontal loop electromagnetic survey ("HLEM") across potential paleochannels on EPL 8995, and an airborne radiometric and magnetic survey of licences EPL 8995, EPL 8290 and EPL 8298. Phase 2 will initially focus on targets developed from Phase 1 and will include detailed mapping, additional sampling, and up to 4,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling, Arkle says. Intends to follow the 2026 drill programme, if it is successful, with detailed infill drilling. In Botswana, Arkle says geophysics and soil sampling across the licence package in 2024 to 2025 indicate brines to shallow depths across a large area, with confirmed lithium in samples. It also says significant grades of magnesium could be economically extracted. For Ireland, test results released last year "demonstrated proximity to strong [zinc] mineralisation", with its joint venture partner planning step-out drilling around the known resource at the Stonepark project.
----------
One Health Group PLC - Yorkshire, England-based independent provider of elective surgical care - Says the final environmental pre-commencement planning condition sign-off is complete for its first 'Surgical Hub' in Scunthorpe. Says construction will start imminently, and that it remains confident that the project is on track to be delivered within the one-year construction period and in line with the previous cost estimate of between GBP8 million and GBP9 million. "The new surgical hub is expected to provide significant additional surgical operating capacity and has the potential to materially enhance the group's revenue and profitability," One Health says. "The surgical hub model is also aligned with central government drive towards delivering more care in the community through geographically separate, community-based surgical hubs, which are expected to free up capacity within NHS Hospitals and alleviate NHS waiting list pressures."
