Hot Rocks Investments (AQSE:HRIP) has agreed to acquire 100,000 warrants over new ordinary shares of The Smarter Web Company plc (SWC) for £1 per warrant. These give the right, subsequent to 12 months of admission of SWC to trading on AQUIS and for a further 2 years, to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Smarter Web Company at 2.5p per warrant.

SWC trades under the ticker SWC on Aquis and under the ticker TSWCF on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States.
Comment: HRIP has emerged from the shadows with one of the hottest investments around in terms of exposure to Smarter Web. Indeed, with the other equally canny investments the company is holding, one would expect it to follow in the footsteps of fellow Aquis tech stock risers such as Coinsilium and Helium Ventures,

Comment: Now that SWC’s shares have moved up from 2.5p to over 400p in the past few weeks, it may be said that the company has done rather well in terms of enhancing its own “online presence.” The bears must be hurting just a tad and continuing to say how much Bitcoin Treasury is a bubble…

Avacta Therapeutics (AVCT), a life sciences company developing innovative, targeted oncology drugs, today announced a new partial response observed in a patient with salivary gland cancer (SGC) in the dose expansion phase of the FAP-Dox (AVA6000) Phase 1b trial. This further signal of antitumor activity in this disease setting is encouraging as the expansion cohort continues to enroll in the indication of salivary gland cancer.
Comment: Despite recent relatively positive news from the company, including at the board level, shares of AVCT still appear to be struggling at the lower levels. More results like today’s would appear to be in order to change market sentiment.
Tooru (TOO) announced its audited final results for the year ended 31 December 2024. TOO said “an opportunity was identified to acquire the business assets of S-Ventures plc on attractive terms. The proposed acquisition of the business assets of S-Ventures, which operates in the health and wellness sector, would enable RGO to become an operating business with attractive potential for growth and the creation of shareholder value.
Comment: Once the dust settles on the TOO / RGO deal, we can expect the market to appreciate the strategy, and for this to feed into the share price. After all, the stock market still appreciates companies with real businesses.
Panther Metals (PALM), the exploration company focused on mineral projects in Canada, announced it has agreed a collaboration with London AIM market listed Fulcrum Metals (FMET) to investigate the potential commercialisation of the historical mine processing tailings storage facility located on the Winston Project in Ontario, Canada. Fulcrum is a company focussed on the pioneering the use of innovative technology to recover precious metals from mine tailings at their Teck-Hughes Gold Tailings Project, in Ontario, Canada.
Comment: It is perhaps fitting that in the wake of the recent win that PALM has had, it is moving to help FMET, a company which has perhaps not had the love it has deserved, especially in the wake of its tailings pivot.
