Pulsar Helium (PLSR), the helium project development company, provided an operational update on the Topaz Project in Minnesota, where site improvements have now been completed, paving the way for a step forward in the Company’s helium exploration and production strategy. PLSR said deepening Jetstream #1 is an exciting step forward for Pulsar. Its team has worked tirelessly to progress operations at Topaz, so we can fully understand its scale. Only one well has been drilled within the prospect, which has not yet met target depth, but has flowed concentrations that are considered very high by global standards, significantly surpassing the commonly accepted economic viability threshold. During the deeper drilling phase, it hopes to build on this, and unlock a helium resource of size and quality, to advance a goal to become a premier helium supplier.

Comment: PLSR has arrived at the AIM market at an opportune time given that we are in the run up to the bigger reveal at Jetstream #1, something which has already been transformational for the company, and is set to re-rate it much more  going into 2025.

In addition, in line with the Company’s announcement on 30 September 2024, Mark Gasson has formally commenced his new role as Chief Operating Officer on the Board. Eckhof said it was delighted to be joining the Board at this exciting time for the business. It looks forward to using my deep experience and expertise in both the DRC and in mineral exploration, including in particular for tin and copper, as it continues to explore the exciting Bisie North Tin Project.

Comment: With someone of the track record and competency of Klaus Eckhof on the board, we should see RMR continue its recent re-rate, especially as more on Bisie North Tin is revealed in the near future.

EnSilica (ENSI), a chip maker of mixed signal ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), announce that it has secured a new debt facility to refinance its existing external loan facilities, providing total funding of up to £9 million and extending out to November 2029. The Facility with Lloyds Bank consists of a three-year £3 million repayment term loan facility and a five-year £3 million revolving credit facility with an accordion option for an additional £3 million subject to credit approval by the lender.

Comment: If we were in proper stock market conditions, and indeed, had a proper stock market that does not just bow and scrape to the powers that be (as in the wake of the Budget), it could have been the case that ENSI could have raised £9m from the market, rather than going to a High Street bank.

FUM said it has already made significant strides following the launch of Eroxon® internationally, including in the US in October 2024, delivering its maiden profit in FY24. In a prudent manner, it is now looking to expand its range especially within the underserved clinically proven treatments for women with sexual dysfunction, whilst continuing to focus on the rollout of Eroxon® across various geographical markets.

Comment: It may be that going into the women’s market will give FUM the boost to its valuation that so far the male market has not quite delivered.

Clean Power (CPH2), the UK-based green hydrogen technology and manufacturing company that has developed the IP-protected Membrane-Free Electrolyser, announced that it has entered into a Licence Agreement with Lisheen H2 Energy Park Limited, which trades under the name Hidrigin. In addition to signing the License Agreement, the parties have entered into a Sales Contract for the delivery of a 1MW MFE220 electrolyser unit by CPH2.
