(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Tuesday.

----------

AIM - WINNERS

----------

Proteome Sciences PLC, up 41% at 3.80 pence, 12-month range 5.40p-1.30p. The London-based life sciences company signs two further good clinical laboratory practice contracts worth more than USD1.5 million. It expects trial samples to be shipped late in the first quarter, with the major part of the contracts completed in 2026.

----------

Cadence Minerals PLC, up 13% at 3.56p, 12-month range 6.40p-1.30p. The investment and development firm receives a preliminary environmental licence for the Amapa mine iron ore project in Brazil. It says the licence confirms environmental feasibility for the full mine capacity. The approval covers the entire mine development envelope, it adds, including the Azteca processing plant. The firm says this is a "material de-risking event" that establishes a clear regulatory pathway toward construction and production. "This is a highly significant regulatory milestone for Amapa. The grant of the preliminary licence confirms environmental acceptance of the mine at its full intended scale and marks a decisive step forward in the project's redevelopment," says Chief Executive Officer Kiran Morzaria. "The remaining installation licence requirements are advancing well, and we remain on track as we move the project toward refurbishment and production."

AIM - LOSERS

----------

Gunsynd PLC, down 32% at 0.12p, 12-month range 0.21p-0.10p. The investor in the natural resource sector says the 2025 field programme on the Barb project in Manitoba, Canada demonstrates its "strong potential" for gold mineralisation. The programme supports the interpretation that gold mineralisation is consistent with a "structurally controlled orogenic gold system," Gunsynd adds. The firm says it now plans targeted exploration to "advance understanding and guide future drilling". It says it will conduct a soil survey, induced polarisation surveys and continue prospecting and geological mapping. "As drill permits are secured, the company will proceed with field programmes designed to significantly improve our understanding of the Barb project and guide drilling on refined targets," says Executive Chair Hamish Harris.

----------

Jubilee Metals Group PLC, down 4.2% at 3.40p, 12-month range 4.90p-2.40p. The London-based metal processing company receives the second cash installment of USD10 million from Chrome One following the sale of its South African chrome and PGM Operations.
