Small-cap and AIM movers in focus:
----------
London BTC Co Ltd, up 11% at 1.55 pence, 12-month range 1.25p-11.70p. Stakes 36 mineral claims at its Black Star project in Nevada after initial rock-chip sampling identifies surface gold grades of up to 16.23 grams per tonne and silver grades of up to 50.5g/t. Says Black Star is the fourth project added to its Nevada portfolio and plans follow-up exploration work and further claim staking in the coming weeks.
----------
Baker Steel Resources Trust Ltd, down 6.2% at 118.25 pence, 12-month range 63.50p-138.00p. Reports net asset value per share falls 13.6% in June to 158.2p, reflecting weaker listed mining stocks and lower valuations for unlisted holdings Futura and Cemos amid heightened Middle East-related market volatility. Despite the monthly decline, first-half NAV rises 15.4%, MSCI World Metals & Mining index's 10.2% gain, while the trust continues its share buyback programme, repurchasing 1.17 million shares since February at an average price of 116.4p.
----------
Angus Energy PLC, up 8.3% at 0.195 pence, 12-month range 0.17p-0.25p. Reports second-quarter revenue rises 37% to an estimated GBP7.2 million from GBP5.2 million in the first quarter, helped by higher realised gas prices, stronger production and an improved hedging position following successful Saltfleetby well workovers. Gas sales increase to 5.85 million therms from 5.24 million, while the company makes its first GBP1.29 million principal repayment to Trafigura, reducing outstanding senior debt to GBP24.7 million. Planned annual maintenance at Saltfleetby is expected to temporarily affect July production before normal operations resume.
----------
Kropz PLC, down 25% at 0.90 pence, 12-month range 0.42p-1.80p. Secures a ZAR200 million (USD12.3 million) related-party loan facility to fund working capital as operational challenges at its Elandsfontein phosphate mine weigh on production. Second-quarter phosphate concentrate output falls 17% to 95,956 tonnes from 115,686 tonnes in the first quarter due to ore variability, mining contractor disruptions and higher energy and freight costs, although sales total 183,714 tonnes. The company says the mine continues to ramp up production despite the operational headwinds.
----------
Iofina PLC, up 2.7% at 57.00 pence, 12-month range 20.50p-58.00p. Reports first-half crystalline iodine production jumps 29% to a record 393.3 metric tonnes, exceeding guidance, as it benefits from improved plant performance and higher output across its operations. The company says demand for crystalline iodine remains robust and expects the second half to deliver another record production period, supporting confidence in full-year performance.
