At its Hussar project, says all civil engineering has been completed including water well, Turkey's nest and sump. The water well has been completed and tested on a long-term test, delivering some 260,000 litres per day.

Atome PLC - Leeds, England-based green fertiliser project developer - Publishes delayed results for the year to December 31 2025 and interim results to June 30 - 2025 pretax loss widens to GBP8.2 million from GBP7.1 million in 2024. First half loss widens to GBP11.2 million from GBP2.5 million. The company is currently "travelling through turbulence with regard to the Villeta Project," says Chair Peter Levine. Last month, Atome said it had served a notice of dispute & intent to submit a claim to arbitration on the Republic of Paraguay. The notice stated that an investment dispute existed due to Paraguay's acts and omissions in violation of an agreement between the UK and Paraguay. In response, the Paraguayan government said that while Atome's notification raised the possibility of future litigation or arbitration, it enables "a period of three months to explore an amicable solution." This followed Atome's report in June regarding its updated power purchase agreement with ANDE, the Paraguay state-owned electricity supplier, which incorporated the electricity tariffs and terms which had been established and mandated by a signed presidential decree issued in January. Atome said this decree had been cancelled and replaced without prior notice or consultation, meaning that the PPA had not yet been executed as planned. At the time, it was seeking clarification on the status of the PPA, the applicable electricity tariffs, and its arrangements with ANDE, which underpinned the project funding, with Chair Peter Levine saying the firm was "perplexed by this unforeseen development". On Friday, Levine says should Atome fail "to arrive at a resolution with Paraguay," it has received "strong positive advice as to the merits of a very substantial claim against Paraguay which it will not hesitate to vigorously pursue". Adds: "Notwithstanding Villeta, Atome is not a one trick pony. With its potential projects, valuable assets, experience, contacts and know how, the company in any event fully intends to progress and expand its business and the company remains optimistic that one way or another it will navigate through the issues and progress."

Vaultz Capital PLC - London-based investment group - Completes an investment of GBP3.0 million, representing the purchase of a 2.3% stake, in a newly incorporated unnamed software company. Says the investee's hardware agnostic technology "materially extends the performance of both consumer and commercial grade hardware enabling workloads to operate beyond conventional memory limits." The investment has been primarily funded from its bitcoin treasury through the sale of 47 bitcoin at an average price of GBP62,914. Following the disposal, Vaultz holds 86 bitcoin, valued at approximately GBP5.41 million, together with GBP400,000 in cash. Chair Charlie Wood says: "AI requires enormous computing power, with access to GPUs, the specialist chips widely used to train and run AI models, becoming an increasingly important constraint on its growth. The memory available on each GPU can also limit the size of the workload it can handle, meaning larger workloads may require multiple GPUs working together. This technology is designed to overcome that limitation, allowing larger workloads to run on existing hardware and potentially reducing the number of chips, infrastructure and energy required. With independent testing already demonstrating the technology across real workloads and hardware, we see considerable commercial potential."
