My understanding is there was a pre-qualification system to apply to get on the DDAD so I would think Defence Technologies i.e. Defence Holdings/Whitespace will be more than okay.

Another weapon to use against us, cyberattacks to slow our economy.

I can see why the likes of Defence Technologies is needed urgently.

For me, I don't think people realise the importance of Project Ixian to the UK and Nato allies.

November 13, 2025, is the planned start date for the Digital Decision Accelerators for Defence (DDAD) Open Framework.

The DDAD framework is a contracting mechanism for the development of advanced data-driven decision-making capabilities.

While a full, public list of all selected suppliers might not be immediately released on that exact day, the suppliers selected for this framework would have been determined through a pre-qualification process that concluded earlier (the deadline for responses was September 3, 2025).

As I understand it and correct me if I'm wrong.

Defence Technologies i.e. Defence Holdings/Whitespace already have a contract for Project Ixian with the MOD and revenue for this starts in December.

From AI with my question - tell me about Wolf Minerals

Wolf Minerals struggled with operational difficulties, including a poorly designed feasibility study that underestimated the complexity of the ore processing, resulting in lower than expected recovery rates.

Combined with a fall in global tungsten prices and a high debt load, Wolf Minerals was unable to secure necessary further funding and went into liquidation in 2018, leading to the loss of over 200 jobs.

Current Status of Wolf Minerals Mine: The Hemerdon mine was acquired by Tungsten West in late 2019, which is working on plans to potentially reopen the site.

I find AI helps me with finding info much quicker than I could.

Here's a response from AI about today's update, if you'd like to read it:-

Strategic Minerals released an update today, November 12, 2025, concerning drilling and metallurgical studies at its Redmoor project, and the news appears to be positive for the company's long-term prospects.

The update highlighted the following key points:

Drilling Progress: Two more drill holes (CRD039 and CRD040) were completed at the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project in Cornwall, with both successfully intersecting the full thickness of the target Sheeted Vein System.

Metallurgical Studies: Stage 1 metallurgical testwork is progressing ahead of schedule and has shown encouraging results, including high mass recovery to flotation feed (approx. 43.9%) and strong stage metal recoveries for tungsten (94.3%), tin (95.6%), and copper (90.7%).

Positive Outlook: The company anticipates that updated metal prices and these positive metallurgical recovery assumptions could significantly enhance the project's overall economics.

While the share price reaction today has been a slight dip (down by about 0.7% as of the latest snapshot), likely due to short-term profit-taking or general market movements, the overall sentiment in recent weeks has been very positive following a series of strong drilling results at Redmoor.

The positive drilling results, combined with the encouraging metallurgical data, reinforce the project's potential as one of the highest-grade undeveloped tungsten deposits globally and support future growth for the company.

In summary, the update is fundamentally good news, indicating strong progress and potential for the Redmoor project.

As far as I am aware, yesterday's news on Strategic Minerals' latest drill hole results was considered very good.

I don't think so.

From what I understand, Strategic Minerals recent price movements have not formed a bearish double top pattern.

It looks like the stock experienced a significant uptrend from August to early November 2025, culminating in a 52-week high of 1.95p on November 10.

As far as I can see the price has slightly retreated, forming a recent high, the chart does not show two distinct, similar-level peaks followed by a decline below a neckline, which is the key characteristic of a confirmed double top pattern.

Does it really matter, absolute poverty or relative poverty?

For me, poverty is poverty regardless of what title you wish to give to it.

Being kind, compassionate and caring to ourselves enables us to be kind, compassionate and caring to others.

Not being judgmental with ourselves helps us not to be judgmental on others.

Sorry, my mistake, for MOD contracts it is 50/50 and for all other contracts outside of MOD then Defence Holdings gets the majority revenue.

It is under "Defence Technologies" which was the name given to it by Defence Holdings/Whitespace for the MOD.

Anything Defence Holdings pays for the slice, so to speak, is reimbursed in full.

Defence Holdings holds the majority of all the Joint IP like Project Ixian, Project Edge, etc., so Defence Holdings get the majority revenue from all contracts.

Andrew McCartney was co-founder for Whitespace and with the terms of the strategic partnership was appointed to Defence Holdings as Chief Technology Officer.

Whitespace needed Defence Holdings to get access to funding. Any funding from Defence Holdings to Whitespace will be reimbursed. They have joint IP with Defence Holdings holding the majority ownership for this.

I'm guessing Defence Holdings will get the majority revenue for contracts.

As I understand it, Defence Holdings/Whitespace are working with Google Cloud on Project Ixian and with Oracle on Project Edge.

I think it's being held at each of the individual Investors' Offices.

There are 3 million pensioners and 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.

My motto is that I'm lucky enough to earn it so I'm happy to pay it.

For me it's about kindness, compassion and caring for others whether it be family, extended family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, strangers.

We all need a helping hand sometimes.

I did and still do at times.

Strategic Minerals Plc is holding a Non-Deal Roadshow (NDR) in London with institutional investors on Thursday, November 13, 2025, and Friday, November 14, 2025. The company announced this engagement in a regulatory news service (RNS) release to the London Stock Exchange.

Charles Manners, the company's Chairman, and other members of the leadership team are conducting the meetings to update existing investors and engage with potential new ones. The purpose of a non-deal roadshow is generally to provide corporate updates and build investor relations rather than to raise new capital or promote a specific transaction.

This follows previous investor engagement activities, including an investor webcast held in October 2025 to discuss tungsten drilling results from their Redmoor Project.

Thank you for this info on the Roadshow.

For me, Strategic Minerals is taking a little breather with the share price because it was getting a bit overheated.
