With Ai now getting to mainstream, you are either in or left behind..

Having watched this for a while seemed rather strange NT a lot today.

Taking first position today, my money is on initial deals within next 7 days.

Should be a good week.

Well if Mac was to be used as vehicle for rto we are in the right timeframe now.

Very few back for the mm’s today.

I’d love a partner update to drop any day now to catch a few out.

Roger. Go on companies house and then use your calculator..

Roger, lies.

The ceo has raised private capital over the last 14 months and as highlighted to you the last was the £350 k to achieve the 2:1 grant.

Main holder rearranged his holding on 31/3 ahead of !!!

Roger, you should sell on Monday and move on, giving yourself stress is not good for your health.

Plenty willing to take your stock imho

Funding amount: Up to $69,000,000

Background Information

On April 7, 2026, the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), in partnership with the Office of Geothermal, announced a “Critical Minerals and Materials Accelerator” Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) of up to $69 million. The NOFO will focus investments on American, industry-led partnerships to prototype and pilot innovative critical materials processing technologies that are currently only proven at the bench scale to address challenges in high-impact areas.

KBR has not publicly announced a specific lithium-geothermal award from the US Department of Energy (DOE) as of April 2026, it has a long-standing history of winning multi-million dollar DOE contracts and grants for energy transition and sustainable technology projects.

Relevant KBR-DOE Experience

KBR frequently serves as a technical and engineering partner for DOE-funded labs and projects:

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL): KBR holds an active engineering services agreement (awarded April 2021) to provide design evaluation and cost analysis for biorefinery and biofuel projects within the DOE complex.

Hydrogen & Nuclear Support: KBR has been commissioned for major feasibility studies and engineering designs for zero-emission energy projects, such as the Natrium advanced reactor studies in collaboration with TerraPower, which involves evaluating deployment sites and energy security.

UK-US Energy Deals: In June 2025, KBR was part of a major UK-US deal on energy security involving advanced nuclear technologies, co-funded by governmental bodies.

Direct Lithium Technology Track Record

KBR has successfully positioned its proprietary technologies in several global lithium projects, making it a strong candidate for upcoming DOE funding:

PureLi® Technology: KBR's high-purity lithium production technology has already been validated at pilot scale, producing battery-grade lithium carbonate from geothermal brines for companies like Neptune Energy in Germany (April 2025).

Weardale Lithium Contract: Awarded in January 2025, KBR is the technology licensor for the Eastgate demonstration plant, providing the integrated PureLi and Li-Capt solution intended to scale to 10,000 tons per annum.

The total available funding is approximately $200 million and will be distributed amongst 2-4 project awards ranging from $50 million to $100 million.

Entities that:

- deploy North American-owned intellectual property and content.

While foreign entities are generally not eligible to apply, DOE may approve a waiver for foreign entities. Applications by foreign entities must be submitted with a waiver request. Domestic applicants that seek to include one or more foreign entities as subrecipient(s) must also submit a waiver request in their application for each such entity.

Makes you wonder why KBR was brought onboard

All eyes on the US for Weardale now.

I smell short term follow on news.

External Catalysts and Investor Focus

For investors, a key external factor is the US Department of Energy’s funding opportunity, with a deadline of 20 July 2026 for projects combining lithium extraction and geothermal energy. Success in securing part of the USD 69 million available could significantly strengthen Weardale’s financial position. Additional grants or private investments following this US initiative may signal market confidence in the integrated geothermal-lithium model, potentially making it easier to attract UK funding.

Stand well back for w/e press coverage.

Weardale Lithium has secured grant funding which will support the next phase of development at its geothermal lithium project in County Durham.

The business landed the grants through the UK government's £4bn DRIVE35 Scale-Up: Feasibility Studies competition

Starmer & UK govt saying they don’t want another external shock to smack uk shores and want to be more reliant on UK energy and resources !!!

Well get Weardale lithium and TVL the green light with grants ..

How thick is our govt !!!!!

Financial Distress Heightens - Key Takeaways

Insolvency acceleration, not spike: Insolvency activity increased significantly in March, with administrations up 135% vs February, signalling a faster flow of restructuring and distressed opportunities entering the market.

A good link to see workload intake.

Consumer spending down, all business costs up, freight haulage distribution etc margins decimated

Big uk problems ahead.
