Helix notes re-entry work has commenced at Inez No 1 well and that it remains ‘remains engaged in active discussions with multiple helium offtake counterparties’. It adds: ‘Helix continues discussions with several interested tier 1 parties regarding the hydrogen potential of the Rudyard field.

These discussions remain ongoing.’ ---------- Nativo Resources PLC - gold-focused mining company with interests in Peru - Initial assay findings from surface trenching within the Tesoro concession confirm ‘historical data’ and back Nativo’s aim of recommencing gold output at the Bonanza asset. ‘This confidence is underpinned by positive near-mine sample results and the successful completion of underground rehabilitation and preparation of existing mine workings. Additional prospectivity within the Tesoro concession has also been confirmed,’ Nativo adds. ---------- Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas Ltd - oil and gas exploration in South Africa, Namibia and Guyana - Eco notes its investee JHI Associates Inc strikes a farm-in deal with Navitas Petroleum LP at the PL001 North Falklands Basin licence.

Eco owns 6.6% of JHI. ---------- Gunsynd PLC - investor in the natural resource sector - Enters a deal with seller Petyer Dunlop to acquire ‘certain licences’ in Manitoba, Canada. The licences include the ‘historic’ Lotus mine, and the Denver and Betty shafts. These are located in the ‘southern part of the Barb project’, which ‘further consolidates the Gunsynd land package’. Gunsynd is to pay C$250,000, around £135,000, on closing of the deal.

Prevailing market conditions create an environment in which the portfolio manager has the ability to generate aggregated portfolio returns in excess of 15.0% per annum over the long term. The net proceeds of the subscription, being approximately £3.63 million, will provide the company with additional resources with which to pursue its stated investing policy,’ Onward adds. ---------- GRIT Investment Trust PLC - investor in small and mid-capitalisation natural resources and mining companies - Net loss in six months to September 30 widens slightly to £74,000 from £63,000.
