 Potential IPOs:***

3 June: Reveille Resources has announced its intention to IPO onto AQSE.  The strategy is focused on identifying and advancing uranium exploration opportunities in assets that have benefited from significant historical expenditure and technical work, but which may not have achieved full value realisation due to geopolitical, technological, financial, or historical factors.  Reveille’s initial focus is on two historical uranium deposits in Lombardy, northern Italy.  Pre-admission, Andrea Cattaneo, Ippolito Cattaneo, Ajax Resources PLC, and Zenith Energy Ltd. each hold 25% of the shares. The four pre-admission shareholders will be subject to a one-year lock-in and a subsequent one-year orderly market agreement. Expected Admission date is 2 July.

Net debt however increased 24.5% to £23.9m largely driven by a one-off additional pension contribution of £5.1m in April 2025. A Precision 2030 growth plan has been communicated and the success of these efforts can be seen through the delivery of the Group's financial targets ahead of schedule.
