The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Wednesday. ---------- AIM - WINNERS ---------- Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC, up 19% at 0.775 pence, 12-month range 0.6p-1.84p. The investment company focused on bitcoin mining research & development launches a software-only version of its Method C AI Oracle, achieving an average 10% improvement in bitcoin mining efficiency during testing. Unlike the hardware version, the new software integrates directly with CGMiner and other control systems, reducing time to market and upfront costs. QBT says the software can also work alongside the hardware version to deliver compound efficiency gains. The company is testing the technology with a US-based ASIC manufacturer and in talks with others ahead of its participation at the Mining Disrupt conference in Dallas this week. Chief Executive Officer Francesco Gardin says :‘The last six months have been crucial for this major research & development achievement which has involved, among other things, the generation of a staggering amount of mining data for the training of the new AI model. We can confirm that US-based ASIC manufacturers are making enquiries with us about our technology, as it potentially offers a key competitive element to take their miners from ’hashing-rate’ only performance, to quality hash generation.’ ---------- Verici Dx PLC, up 4.1% at 0.89p, 12-month range 0.525p-5.75p. Completes its second biennial College of American Pathologists, or CAP, inspection with no deficiencies reported. Verici says the result reaffirms its commitment to clinical excellence and regulatory compliance, ensuring the continued reliability of its test results under CAP standards. VP of Quality & Regulatory Affairs Dave Schultenover says the company remains dedicated to meeting and exceeding requirements as a trusted partner to clinicians and patients. ---------- AIM - LOSERS ---------- Arrow Exploration Corp, down 4.0% at 10.95p, 12-month range 10.5p-26.5p. Says its Mateguafa-5 well (M-5) successfully drills and begins production at the Mateguafa field on the Tapir Block, confirming the productive potential of the multi-pool Mateguafa Attic field. The Colombia-focused oil producer says the well, drilled on time and on budget, reached a total depth of 10,560 feet and encountered 26 feet of net oil pay in the Guadalupe formation and 11 feet in the Carbonera C7. Initial restricted testing yields around 570 barrels of oil per day gross (285 net) of 31 API oil with an 8% water cut. CEO Marshall Abbott says initial results exceed expectations, adding that follow-up wells M-6 and M-7 will further develop the discovery and assess its reserves potential. Total company output is currently around 4,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with no debt and $8.2 million in cash. ---------- Pantheon Resources PLC, down 3.8% at 24.30p, 12-month range 20.65p-70.7p. The oil and gas company focused on developing the Ahpun and Kodiak onshore oil fields in Alaska says well clean-up operations continue at the Dubhe-1 well in the Ahpun field, with early production dominated by recovered stimulation fluids, as expected at this stage. About 20% of injected water has been recovered, alongside steady gas flow and intermittent light oil production. Easley says the company is entering an ‘important phase’ in demonstrating Ahpun’s commercial potential, with further updates to follow as testing progresses. CEO Max Easley will join the Oil & Gas Industry Update panel at the 46th annual Alaska Resources Conference in Anchorage on Thursday. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
