(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Monday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Talisman Metals PLC - copper exploration company in Morocco, formerly Ovoca Bio PLC - Collects seven channel samples at the Tirzzit Project for a total length of 23 metres and 38 trench samples including 5 quality assurance and quality control samples and 3 grab samples. The first phase of fieldwork consists of testing the grade and thickness of mineralisation along strike, from west to east, on outcrop in order to confirm lateral continuity; historical copper and silver grades, and the location of thicker intervals for channel sampling at approximately 100-metre spacing. The initial 700 metres of strike target a horizon 1 metre to 5 metres thick from surface, exhibiting malachite mineralisation at surface amongst the 4.6 kilometres mineralized horizons that have been historically identified, Talisman says. Chief Executive Officer Tim McCutcheon comments: "Tirzzit is a great opportunity for Talisman, and with our team in the field after finishing up preliminary work at Fougnar, we deployed them to Tirzzit for a quick sampling foray to test obvious mineralisation targets. I look forward to sharing with the market the assay results of this work as soon as possible."

Additionally, shifts focus to Venezuelan energy assets, noting it holds the world's largest proven hydrocarbon reserves and a significant base of related energy infrastructure. Says "decades of under-investment...have left a broad range of energy assets...operating materially below their potential". As part of this shift, Scott Gilbert is appointed non-executive chair, and Greig Gilbert as chief executive officer. Scott and Greig Gilbert have also agreed to subscribe for 3 million shares, which shall also have 1:1 warrants.

ECR continues to believe that the Paleogold transactions will transform it into a "diversified gold company with nearer-term hard rock production, district-scale exploration upside and a seasoned operating team." Paleogold has secured over 94% acceptances in respect of the acquisition with acceptances from remaining shareholders expected shortly. Further updates will be provided in due course. As part of completion, ECR, via Paleogold, will exercise Paleogold's option to acquire 50% of Lucky Strike, the owner of the Maddens Flat Group of Mines.

Uru Metals Ltd - mineral exploration & development company - Completes a ground-based gravity survey over priority targets at the Zeb Nickel Project. Says results demonstrate "strong correlation with previously identified airborne electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies." Chief Executive Officer CEO John Zorbas comments: "The improved resolution of the ground survey provides greater confidence in the interpretation of these anomalies and enhances our ability to focus on the most prospective semi-massive and massive nickel sulphide targets. The responses observed at Targets 1 and 2 are particularly compelling, displaying the coincident conductive and dense signatures often associated with sulphide mineralisation. With the EM survey set to commence shortly, we look forward to further refining these targets ahead of drilling. We are very excited about the progress being made and the momentum building at the Zeb Nickel Project. We look forward to the coming weeks and months and will continue to update shareholders regularly as results become available."

Beowulf Mining PLC - exploration for iron ore, graphite, gold and base metals in Sweden, Finland and Kosovo - Finnish subsidiary Grafintec Oy hosts public meetings at its two graphite projects, Aitolampi and Raapysjarvi, in Eastern Finland. During the public meetings, management provided updates to local stakeholders, including on the preliminary technical study undertaken at Aitolampi. CEO Ed Bowie says: "Whilst still at an early stage, the preliminary technical designs for the Aitolampi project provide an initial basis to describe what a future mine might look like and so support a more informed discussion." Aitolampi is one of the largest defined flake graphite deposits in Europe, with a current JORC indicated and inferred mineral resource of 26.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 4.8% total graphitic carbon, Beowulf notes.

88 Energy Ltd - Australia-based, Alaska-focused oil explorer - Updates on the planned production test at Project Phoenix on the North Slope of Alaska with joint venture partner Burgundy Xploration LLC. The parties have agreed to extend Burgundy's funding timeline under the participation agreement to September 30. "This is to reflect the extended SEC review timeline, which has been influenced by several factors including the 43-day US government shutdown," 88 says. In consideration for the extension, Burgundy is to immediately pay 88's Accumulate Energy Alaska Inc an amendment fee of USD100,000, followed by a further USD300,000 towards its Icewine 3D payment. "88 Energy considers this extension to be finite and sufficient to provide Burgundy with the necessary timing to deliver on its funding requirements under the PA. Moreover, 88 Energy believes the extension positions Burgundy to achieve its desired listing outcome, providing a deep liquidity pool for the future advancement of Project Pheonix, without a material delay to the planned drilling schedule," 88 says.
