Small-cap and AIM movers in focus:
----------
First Class Metals PLC, down 22% at 2.55 pence, 12-month range 0.96p-4.85p. Reports final drill assay results from the Roy prospect at its Sunbeam project in Ontario confirming bonanza-grade gold mineralisation, including 5.1 metres grading 4.14 grams of gold per tonne containing a 45 grammes per tonne interval. The company says drilling has confirmed gold mineralisation over a 300-metre strike that remains open along strike and at depth, while recent structural work suggests the prospect forms part of the district-scale Nahanni Shear Zone, of which only around 1% has been tested. An exploration permit has been submitted for winter drilling, with further geophysical surveys and follow-up drilling also planned.
----------
Beauty Tech Group PLC, up 7.2% at 357.00 pence, 12-month range 213.00p-383.00p. Upgrades full-year guidance after reporting "materially" higher first-half revenue, with growth across its core business and all key markets. The at-home beauty technology company now expects 2026 revenue of at least GBP170 million, ahead of market expectations of GBP161.7 million, while forecasting adjusted Ebitda of no less than GBP45 million versus consensus of GBP41.5 million. Beauty Tech says a pipeline of new product launches and continued growth in the at-home beauty devices market underpin positive momentum into the second half.
----------
NeoTerra Group PLC, up 10% at 2.20 pence, 12-month range 1.93p-2.70p. Reports a metallurgical breakthrough at its Monte Muambe project in Mozambique, saying test work has significantly de-risked the recovery of fluorspar, heavy rare earths and gallium from a single processing flowsheet. The company also says initial flotation testing doubled gallium grades, while its USD1.875 million US government-funded rare earths prefeasibility programme is nearing execution, with contract awards expected shortly. NeoTerra adds it is seeing growing interest from strategic partners and critical metals traders in Europe, North America and Asia as demand for non-Chinese supplies of rare earths and gallium continues to increase.
----------
Clean Power Hydrogen PLC, down 89% at 1.48 pence, 12-month range 1.40p-19.50p. Completes its GBP500,000 retail offer through the issue of 33.3 million shares at 1.5p each, taking total gross proceeds raised under its latest fundraising to around GBP3.0 million, including the previously announced GBP2.5 million institutional placing. The green hydrogen technology company also resumes trading on AIM, with the retail offer and remaining fundraising subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting on July 20.
