ACG Metals hits full-year oxide output target in six months
ACG Metals beat its full-year oxide production target in just six months, helped by a 64% jump in its realised gold price to $4,838 an ounce. First copper and zinc concentrate production is now expected in August. Rockfire Resources returned strong zinc and silver grades at its Molaoi project in Greece, with preliminary readings showing zinc values as high as 37.7%, and is fast-tracking feasibility studies and permit applications to reopen underground workings. Sunda Energy applied for a permit to explore an offshore area of New Zealand's Taranaki Basin covering around 645 square kilometres, triggering a three-month window for competing bids. CelLBxHealth remains on track for revenues of at least £2.1 million this year, up 50% on 2025, while searching for a new chief executive with no impact on trading expected. Poolbeg Pharma raised £3.5 million through a placing to fund two clinical trials and strengthen partnering discussions, extending its cash runway into the second quarter of 2028.
