The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Thursday. ---------- AIM - WINNERS ---------- Wishbone Gold PLC, up 76% at 0.65 pence, 12-month range 0.1p-0.69p. The Western Australia-focused miner said drilling at its Red Setter Gold Dome project in WA has intersected ‘a significant breccia pipe’ in the first hole, with variable intensity of brecciation observed over an interval of over 130 metres from around 570 metres. Says zones of quartz-carbonate veining and sulphides of chalcopyrite and pyrite were observed from 520 metres, with increasing intensity towards around 570 metres. Drilling is ongoing, and Wishbone currently plans for it to continue in the first hole to a total depth of about 750 metres, with the potential to go deeper later once more drill pipe is mobilised. ‘It is outstanding to see the emergence of this mineralised breccia pipe and see the intensity of brecciation and the amount of quartz-carbonate veining and sulphides,’ WA Director Ed Mead comments. ‘This is a fantastic outcome as brecciation typifies a style of gold and copper mineralisation seen at both the nearby Telfer and Havieron deposits. Transportation of the core to Perth to be cut and assayed is a priority.’ ---------- Pulsar Helium Inc, up 19% at 30.50 pence, 12-month range 23p-33p. The White Rock, Canada-based helium developer reports natural flow test results from the Jetstream #1 appraisal well in the Topaz helium project, Minnesota. Well achieved a peak natural flow rate of around 501 thousand cubic feet per day on a 38/64‘ choke at about 30 pounds per square inch well head pressure, with no compression or stimulation. It is flowing at more than three times the rate recorded in April 2024 under similar pressure conditions, Pulsar adds. Says it is in the process of obtaining further sustained-flow results, flow results under well-head compression, and full gas composition analyses. Chief Executive Thomas Abraham-James says: ’This result validates our subsurface model, significantly de-risks the Topaz project, and confirms the reservoir’s outstanding productivity.‘ ---------- AIM - LOSERS ---------- Quadrise PLC, down 11% at 2.84p, 12-month range 1.35p-7.58p. The London-based fuel and biofuel company says bilateral agreements between it, MSC and Cargill remain in near final form, but that internal processes are continuing ’slower than anticipated‘. Says commercial-scale trials are no longer expected to commence in the third quarter, due to delays in entry of the agreements. Also, Quadrise says production growth by Valkor in Utah this year ’has progressed slower than expected...and current levels of production have been insufficient to feed the development of mid-stream operations and marketing‘. Says Valkor expects this to be resolved shortly. Meanwhile, Quadrise says trials with Sparkle Power SA in Panama have concluded to the satisfaction of onsite teams. It now waits for official results from the engine manufacturer and client. ’Whilst much is being done to prepare ourselves for the scale-up of our business, it is disappointing that we have not been able to progress our existing projects as quickly as we had expected,‘ Chair Andy Morrison says. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd.
