Yes and there is likely to be a dearth of such offers this year as opportunist Companies take advantage of low SPs ( market capital) and such depressed Companies say yes as they are uncertain as to the future and require security etc

Kryso received significant and essential in-country legal, financial and PR consultancy services from LLC Anbat Service as part of the detailed process for obtaining the mining licence. In connection for the provision of these services LLC Anbat Service have been issued 8,254,977 ordinary shares. Accordingly application will be made for 8,254,977 ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Admission is expected to become effective on 13 January 2012. Managing Director of Kryso Resources, Craig Brown, commented, “We are very pleased to be able to report formal granting of the Pakrut mining licence. We believe that this news should further de-risk our project both for current and potential stakeholders. We are progressing with the initial construction work and are targeting finalising financing and proceeding with full mine construction in the spring.”

Pakrut Mining Licence Granted Kryso Resources plc (AIM: KYS), the mineral exploration and development company with gold and nickel-copper projects in Tajikistan, is pleased to announce that the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan has issued the Pakrut Project mining licence to LLC Pakrut, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This follows the Company’s announcement of 10 November 2011 that the Government had issued a resolution signed by the president approving the issuance of the licence. According to the terms of the licence, the amount of ore that can be mined is variable depending upon the mine plan. The plan submitted by Kryso envisages an initial processing capacity of 660,000 tons of ore per annum, increasing to 1,320,000 tons per annum from 2017. The mining licence is valid until 2 November 2030. In addition, Kryso can report significant progress in mine construction. The Company has commenced geotechnical drilling on the access road as well as the tailings dam, and construction equipment for the access road has been ordered.

more - no unfortunately - good news for those already in

George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented: "We are pleased to have entered into an off-take agreement with Transamine for the sale of 85,000 tonnes of concentrate over the initial 6 year mine life at international spot rates. Importantly the off-take offers competitive terms including provisional payments for concentrate whilst in storage awaiting shipment. In the coming months, once concentrate production begins, the first ore to be mined will be from the high grade 1807 Zone. With a measured and indicated resource of 432,000 tonnes grading 3.86% copper, 1.75 g/t gold and 7.18 g/t silver concentrate produced from this zone will greatly assist Rambler's immediate cash flow. As Rambler looks to expand as a Company, both organically and externally, we look forward to further building on our relationship with Transamine."

Commenting, Ian Temple, Executive Chairman, said: "I am delighted to report a year of good growth for the Group. This resilient performance is testament to the Group's strategy, the quality of our practices and the strength of our people. Through careful investment in the business throughout the year we have increased headcount and strengthened our position in key markets whilst maintaining tight control of costs. We enter 2012 conscious of the current macroeconomic uncertainties, particularly with regard to weakness in the UK economy and the Financial Services sector. However, we will maintain our strategy of selective investment and cost control, and are well placed to take advantage of any growth opportunities as they arise."

Pre-Close Trading Update Hydrogen, the specialist recruitment business, is today issuing a trading update in respect of its financial year ended 31 December 2011. Whilst recruitment markets have continued to be affected by global macroeconomic instability, the Group has been able to deliver a 9% increase in Net Fee Income ("NFI") to approximately £30m (2010: £27.6m) and expects to report PBT at the top end of the range of analyst forecasts. This continued growth in an uncertain environment is testament to the Group's careful investment in recent years to take the business into new markets as well as an ongoing emphasis on controlling costs. Our Pharmaceuticals practice launched last year has performed exceptionally well, particularly in Europe, growing NFI by more than 140% during the year. Our Oil & Gas business, which was launched in 2008, continues to perform impressively, growing NFI by more than 60% to approximately £6.4m (2010: £3.9m). These two comparatively new ventures now contribute 29% of Group NFI, and demonstrate our capability to identify and deliver in new growth markets. In the UK, the Group's contract business performed well driven by a strong performance in Technology, and we established an office in Edinburgh to meet client demand in this sector. There has been an ongoing trend towards contract placements in Financial Services, where permanent hiring has slowed. As a result, contract placements accounted for 55% of Group NFI during the year, against 46% in 2010, giving the Group a welcome increase in the visibility of future earnings during a period of economic uncertainty. In line with our strategy of international expansion we opened an office in Hong Kong during the first half of the year, and are confident that this will be a key location in the growth of our business in the Asian region. International NFI increased to approximately 36% of NFI (2010: 32%) for the year, despite the strong performance of the UK business. Notwithstanding the increase in the proportion of contract revenue, tight control of working capital has enabled the balance sheet to remain strong, with an expected marginal reduction in net debt from £2.2m at the end of 2010, comfortably within our banking facilities, which were extended to February 2014 during the year.

Very positive update - some nice figures.

Investment In line with previously announced plans, the Group has been actively pursuing a programme of recruitment to support the future growth of the business. This has seen appointments in a number of areas to strengthen the business and include: an interim HR director: a head of product integration; a head of business process change, additional software developers; user experience designers, further sales & account management executives and additional search marketing personnel. The full cost of this additional hiring will be reflected in the second half of the year and the Board views that this investment is an essential element in insuring that the business has capacity and capability to achieve its growth plans for the coming years. Outlook The Group expects that work initiated in 2011 to develop new opportunities through channel partners, will start delivering incremental growth during 2012. In addition, the board continues to explore opportunities for geographic expansion and has initiated a number of discussions to explore consolidation opportunities within the e-mail marketing sector. Despite the uncertain outlook for the UK economy as a whole the board has confidence in the prospects for the business over the coming year. The full results for six months ending 31 December 2011 will be announced in mid February.

Dividend A dividend of 11 pence per share for the third quarter will be paid on 10 January 2012 to shareholders on the register at 9 December 2011. The dividend for the fourth quarter of 2011 will be announced with the 2011 final results on 20 February 2011 but, is not expected to be less than 14 pence per share representing a minimum total dividend of 44 pence per share for 2011, a minimum increase of 33% over the total dividend of 33 pence per share paid for 2010. Outlook Design wins in 2011 have continued to be positive and we are pleased with the further headway that has been made in achieving approved or preferred supplier status at new key accounts, but increased macroeconomic uncertainty will present a challenging environment as we enter 2012. Bookings in the last quarter of 2011 from existing programs were soft and customers are generally cautious and are delaying orders. As a supplier to manufacturers of capital goods, we cannot expect to be immune from the effects of lower global end-market growth, nevertheless, XP's successful repositioning as a designer and manufacturer of its own range of market-leading products and the addition of its second manufacturing site providing magnetic capability leave the Group well positioned to respond to these more difficult markets and to continue to take market share. XP Power will announce final results for the 12 months to 31 December 2011 on 20 February 2011.
