The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Thursday. ---------- AIM - WINNERS ---------- Getech Group PLC, up 16% at 2.20 pence, 12-month range 2.61p-1.50p. The energy resources and mineral locator says it has signed 12 contracts over the last month, worth £330,000 together, of which it expects to recognise £300,000 in the current financial year. As a result, the company says its existing orderbook now stands at £4.1 million, up from £3.9 million at the end of June. It notes that three of the contract wins were with new customers. The firm adds that £150,000 worth of the contracts relates to sales of its gravity and magnetic data library, £141,000 for its geoscience services and £42,000 in renewals of its software licences. ‘These contract wins come as we enter Q4, typically our strongest trading quarter, and are an indication that the recent changes we have made to our sales team - including new leadership and resources - are delivering tangible results,’ says Chief Executive Officer Chris Jepps. ‘This trend is also reflected in our pipeline of sales opportunities which has increased in size and quality compared to this time last year.’ ---------- Empire Metals Ltd, up 11% at 39.00p, 12-month range 84.00p-5.50p. The London-based mining firm raises gross proceeds of £7 million through a subscription of 17.5 million shares at 40p each. The funds will be used to ‘maintain momentum’ in areas including resource expansion, advanced metallurgical testwork and the start of pilot-scale production in 2026. ‘I am very pleased to announce the successful completion of this subscription, which was executed at a premium to the current share price and reflects increased participation from our institutional shareholders in Asia and Australia,’ says Managing Director Shaun Bunn. ‘This continued support underscores both the scale and strategic value of the Pitfield project and strengthens the company as we move into a critical phase or our development.’ ---------- AIM - LOSERS ---------- ValiRx PLC, down 47% at 0.25p, 12-month range 1.99p-0.22p. The life sciences company announces a fundraising to raise up to £1.1 million, through the placing, retail offer and subscription of up to 420.0 million new shares at 0.25 pence each, plus the conditional grant of up to 427.7 million fundraising warrants. ‘I am pleased to see the company successfully close this round during a difficult funding environment, this will enable us to continue to develop important novel therapies in oncology and female health to ultimately benefit patients,’ says Non-Executive Chair Martin Gouldstone. ---------- Rome Resources PLC, down 23% at 0.28p, 12-month range 0.50p-0.13p. The mineral explorer with a tin project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo says maiden mineral resource estimate confirms presence of a large, multi-metallic tin-copper-zinc system across its Kalayi and Mont Agoma prospects. The MRE indicates that only a fraction of the prospective licence area has been explored, with ‘substantial scope’ for further discovery within the wider licence area. ‘This maiden resource estimate marks a major milestone for Rome Resources and a significant validation of the scale and multi-metallic potential of the Bisie North Project. The results suggest that we are only beginning to define a very substantial tin and copper system, with mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike,’ says CEO Paul Barrett. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd.
