Says drill hole NCZ002 is recently completing with a 107-metre apparent thickness zone of visible sulphides identified between 413 metres and 520 metres downhole. Results were dispatched to ALS laboratory on Friday, with results expected in the next few weeks. "I am delighted to report that ongoing drilling of the Northern Copper Zone is confirming that Parys Mountain has a significant zone of copper dominant mineralisation within an area 600 to 700 metres along strike and 300 to 400m downdip. Widths of mineralisation appear to be averaging over 20 metres in this zone with copper equivalent grades of between 1.0 – 1.3%," says Interim Chair Andrew King.

AIM - LOSERS

Horizonte Minerals PLC, down 58% at 3.58p, 12-month range 2.65p-172p. After the market close on Monday, the mineral developer provided an updated capital expenditure outlook for its 100%-owned Araguaia nickel project in Brazil, warning it still needs more funds. Following a review, it now estimates the capital required to complete construction, commission the project and deliver first metal is around USD454 million. The estimate at completion now stands at USD1.00 billion, which is some 87% higher than its previously disclosed capex budget of USD537 million. Mechanical completion is expected in the first quarter of 2026. "It is important to note that while completing the Cost-to-Complete estimate is a significant milestone, resuming and completing construction activities at Araguaia are still subject to the successful completion of a full financing solution, which the company will seek to develop in the coming weeks, but with no guarantee of success," Interim CEO Karim Nasr warns.
