The London-based defence technology firm climbs as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hails the long-delayed plan for defence spending as a game-changing move that will keep the UK ‘safe and secure long into the future’, as it is set to be published on Tuesday. The defence investment plan, originally due last year, had been held back amid wrangling within government over the amount of money required to finance the military. Under new Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis, the Dip will now focus on ramping up the UK’s use of drones and autonomous weapons, funded by a £5 billion investment, the Ministry of Defence has announced. He is understood to have secured some extra money for the plan, taking the full settlement to some £14.5 billion up from the £13.5 billion offered to former defence secretary John Healey but short of the £28 billion officials previously said was needed, PA reported. ---------- Neo Energy Metals PLC, up 8.6% at 0.95p, 12-month range 0.50p-1.20p. The owner of uranium and gold projects in South Africa says the past six months have been a ‘transformation’ for the firm. Chief Executive Officer Theo Botoulas says: ‘Across every dimension of the business - governance, financial controls, environmental compliance, community engagement, mine planning, and project management - our teams have delivered work of both breadth and quality that provides a platform we can be genuinely proud of.’ The company raised £2.5 million in January. The proceeds are being applied to operational readiness, working capital and the advancement of its South African assets. ---------- Celsius Resources Ltd, up 36% at 0.38p, 12-month range 0.25p-1.30p. The firm says it has sold its 95% interest in the Opuwo cobalt-copper project in Namibia to a subsidiary of Aluminum Corporation of China, or Chinalco, for $15 million. ‘The divestment of the Opuwo project will enable Celsius to increase its focus on its Philippine portfolio of copper-gold projects and provide a material source of near-term funding,’ the company adds. ---------- ADM Energy PLC, down 44% at 0.01p, 12-month range 0.01p-0.10p. The West-Africa focused natural resource investor says there has been a delay in finalising its accounts so it will not meet today’s deadline for its 2025 figures. It is now targeting the publication of its 2025 results before the end of August. Trading in ADM’s shares on AIM will be suspended on Wednesday, pending publication of the accounts. ---------- Secure Property Development & Investment PLC, down 24% at 0.85p, 12-month range 0.80p-7.90p. The commercial property investor swings to a pretax loss of €711,985 in 2025 from a profit of €13,226 a year earlier. Net operating income falls 39% to €783,276 from €1.3 million. The company says income from operations falls due to the sale of the remaining income producing assets during the year. ‘With the completion of the sale of the entire real estate portfolio during 2025 and with corporate costs already being minimized, the company during 2026 is aiming in repositioning its operations, as well as distributing its Arcona shares to its shareholders,’ the firm adds. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
