The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Monday. ---------- AIM - WINNERS ---------- Thor Energy PLC, up 22% at 0.70 pence, 12-month range 0.90p-0.45p. The US and Australia-focused mineral exploration company receives a cash completion payment of A$2.3 million, around £1.1m, for the sale of the FRAM joint venture, which holds the Molyhil project in Australia, to Tivan. It says three additional payments totalling A$3.9 million are due from September 2026 to September 2028. The company announced the sale in September last year. ‘For Thor shareholders, the monetisation of Molyhil has already led to a significant inflow of cash to the company, and there will be three further annual payments of A$1.3 million commencing from this September. This means more resources to advance Hy-Range and less dilution to achieve this,’ says Thor Energy Chair Alastair Clayton. ---------- Ampeak Energy Ltd, up 15% at 3.50p, 12-month range 5.25p-1.67p. The Edinburgh, Scotland-based developer, owner and operator of sustainable energy projects says Scottish ministers have granted Section 36 consent for its Mey battery energy storage system project in the North of Scotland. The consent permits the development of a BESS facility with an installed capacity of up to 300 megawatts. Ampeak is working towards achieving financial close on the project in 2027/2028 with an operational date targeted for the end of 2029. ‘This is another milestone for the business and a great way to start the year. Building on our experience and success at Uskmouth and demonstrating our ability to apply that to other projects is a testament to the team and puts us in a very good position as we continue to expand our portfolio,’ says Chief Executive Officer Graham Reid. ---------- AIM - LOSERS ---------- Oracle Power PLC, down 19% at 0.06p, 12-month range 0.10p-0.01p. The developer of projects in Pakistan and Australia reports ‘further positive results’ from drilling at the Kalgoorlie gold project in Western Australia. It says the drilling programme has continued to intersect shallow gold mineralisation as it expands the gold footprint at the Northern Zone gold project. ‘It is great to follow on from previous announcements and continue to expand and intersect gold grades in the northeast area and expand the saddle area. We believe these results are very impressive and add significant upside to the project for our plans with our partners for gold production targeted for later this year,’ says Chief Executive Officer Naheed Memon. ---------- Distil PLC, down 16% at 0.11p, 12-month range 0.37p-0.04p. The London-based owner of premium alcoholic drinks brands says revenue fell 26% to £173,000 in the third quarter to the end of December from £233,000 in the prior year. The firm says volumes into distributors decreased 39%, while volumes at consumer level increased 36%. ‘The increased sales at consumer level is not reflected in Distil’s reported sales outturn in Q3 due to existing stock holdings within the trade,’ notes Executive Chair Don Goulding. ‘Inventory acquired by distributors to cover the Christmas trading period were predominantly built in Q2, and there is overall pressure across the supply chain to work with more efficient stock levels, with retailers running stock cover at a lower level.’ Distil says global market conditions continue to be tough across the beverage alcohol industry, including spirits, as consumer confidence remains fragile. It adds that the medium-term outlook for the industry ‘continues to be challenging’. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
