Why is there another hearing on the 6 June?

What do you view Nick1bro?

Yes Cevodniya, Defence Holdings isn't the same as new tech startups who are trying to get noticed. Defence Holdings already have the connections, people, and is already building for the MoD.

This is a strong signal that Defence Holdings could be positioned to become the UK version of Palantir.

Looks like I have rattled the cage of a few shorters operating to cast doubts to shareholders.

Let me remind you that Defence Holdings/Whitespace are well connected to the UK government and they are tasked by the MoD exclusively to advance UK Sovereign AI.

Defence Holdings/Whitespace will be at the centre of the UK AI tech driven start-ups.

Defence Holdings collaboration with the Gloucestershire MET police to build an AI platform in line with the UK AI Sovereign framework is just a starting point.

The AI systems will not only protect government department and companies from hackers which usually result in heavy financial losses and confidential data leaks, but it will streamline the processes and reduce the workload needed to run the system.

The AI systems will eventually expand across other sectors, the NHS, Military, Retail, Aviation to name a few.

For people who understands the importance of AI, you will know that nations are competing to create a reliable AI systems that can act swiftly and make accurate decisions.

Defensive Drones is an example when they are deployed onto the frontline, it would take too long for remote control and giving commands. If it detects an incoming missile, you want it to make the right judgement and act accordingly.

As evidently seen, the UK government is slowly moving away from Palantir. High calibre individuals like Lord Houghton and Andrew Roughan understands this is not an area you should rely on externally. The UK must have their own UK Sovereign AI infrastructures.

The direction is clear and they have advised magnificent 7 companies are involved. It makes sense because for something at this scale no one company can achieve this alone.

Except THAR has been delayed and delayed...

With no time as to when the project will resume....

It appears that some folks are getting impatient and to the point confused with what ALRT does. They mistakenly put them with aim and new start-ups which isn't quite the case. Let's take the time to dissect and analyse what the company has said.

Project Ixian:

Lord Houghton and Andrew Roughan have both expressed their concerns about the current state of UK AI capabilities in modern security. They have narrowed down the problem being the UK tech sector isn't unified enough to advance AI as a whole nation in order to compete with AI dominating nations. They have provided a glimpse of the resolution, which is to bring together tech companies who are dominant in their areas of technology. This would provide a platform for joint research and breakthroughs for national AI driven security infrastructures.

New Start-up Government Contract Awards:

Some people were disappointed with WhiteSpace/ALRT not named for recent contract awards.

Do remember, ALRT themselves have said they are not a new small start-up. They are already actively building for the MoD.

Quoted in the 04 Sept 2025 RNS:

"Defence Holdings is not talking about future intent, it is already actively building for the UK Ministry of Defence"

Invited to No.10 Downing Street:

In fact, in one of the earlier interviews, ALRT have made a statement about being "pulled through doors." Perhaps they were referring to Downing Street Number 10?

On March 2026, Defence Holdings were invited to No.10 by Jade Leung. Now, you don't get invited to No.10 by the Prime Minister's Special Advisor on AI for casual talks. Something must be happening in the background that they cannot disclose at this moment of time.

The Recent Palantir £50 million deal block:

Sadiq Khan has blocked a £50 million deal between Met police and Palantir. There is a rising tension that the UK must develop their own UK Sovereign National AI Security Infrastructures.

Defence Holdings collaboration with the Gloucestershire Police to build an Sovereign AI application which focuses on domestic security addresses the priorities set out in the UK Strategic Defence Review.

The conclusion:

If you read between the lines and looks at the direction and the events that have unfolded so far, these guys are the real deal.

Look at some of the calibre of the BoD. Lord Houghton wouldn't be someone that would tarnish his reputation that he has built over his career. Andrew Roughan has shown that he could transform a company into a heavyweight tier.

Just because there are classified information that they could not release to the market currently do not mean they have failed.

Patience wins the race.

That's one thing I agree on.

If Thar comes in it will be big.

Still no mining licence?

So much for promoting the fast tracked campaign...

I said at the beginning of the year that it was a race against time to bring in revenue before the Oracle cash runs low...

At this rate, I don't think Oracle will find revenue from NZ this year

It sounds like the £50 million Palantir block has connection to Defence Holdings plans with the MET.

The UK government has unveiled a sweeping policing reform plan, described as the most significant in nearly 200 years, with artificial intelligence as a central pillar. The initiative aims to modernise law enforcement and tackle both digital and traditional crime more effectively.

A new AI-focused national centre called Police AI will help forces adopt AI tools for tasks like CCTV and body-cam analysis, deepfake detection, automated document work, and call handling, saving an estimated 6 million police hours annually.

AI is rapidly becoming a central part of UK policing, not just experimental tech but a core part of major structural reform. This includes automating administrative tasks, expanding surveillance capabilities, implementing AI chat systems, and creating new national units supported by AI.

Defence Holdings have recently announced a strategic collaboration with Gloucestershire Police focused on AI for policing workflows. The company has launched a “national security executional pillar” aiming to apply AI to domestic security and resilience. Under this collaboration, ALRT’s AI will be tested to automate conversion of police interview recordings into structured reports (ROVI/ROTI), tackling tasks that currently consume large amounts of officer time.

If the pilot proves successful, this could provide a pathway for broader operational deployment of AI tools across UK policing, exactly the sort of automation and efficiency-boosting measures featured in current national AI policing reform discussions.

The broad policy or regulatory driver behind the national policing AI reforms are part of national policing strategy supported by the UK Government

£50 million deal?

Does that mean that £50 million will be awarded to Whitespace / Defence Holdings instead?

I would watch this space closely

If and when they release the good news, more than likely a placing will follow shortly.

It's a very common strategy to entice buys and then raise the funds needed to keep the company going.

People can argue all they want about the Mega deal and all.

Save this post and come back to it when it happens.

No chance of a £30 million market cap on the ML alone.

It will likely remain under £10 million market cap realistically speaking.

The share price won't re-rate until they prove they can get the stuff out of the ground and revenue can be realised.

In my honest opinion

Are you suggesting people to take position because you expect a rise when the ML lands?

Institutions won't take the risk because there are many variables at play.

Who knows what could be the delays

They said in weeks but it's been months

Perhaps the company should update us on.the court hearing?

Why still no RNS confirmation of the ML?

They promoted a fast tracked campaign but it's not fast tracked at all.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I think this has become beyond unacceptable now.

They have stated in the February RNS that the mining lease would be expected in the coming weeks.

We are edging closer to June and there is still no official news for acquiring the mining licence.

I think they need to update the market why it hasn't been received. They said it would be in weeks and not months that it turned out to be

I try not to predict when the ML news will land, it can be anyone's guess.

I think when it lands, it needs to accompany another good news for the SP to lift.

If the ML news is just that (nothing we don't already know) then I think it is already priced in.

Good afternoon to you Jones.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

What are people expecting next week and where do you see the share price?
