Tap Global Group (TAP), an innovative digital finance hub that brings money payments and crypto settlement services together in a single user-friendly app, announced that, further to the launch of its institutional Bitcoin Treasury as a Service (“BTaaS”) platform announced on 20 October 2025, it has successfully onboarded London BTC Company Limited (BTC) as a client for its BTaaS platform.
London BTC Company is building a Bitcoin treasury through mining operations and strategic acquisitions. London BTC Company will utilise the Company’s BTaaS platform for certain treasury operations, including transaction execution and fiat-to-crypto conversion services.
Comment: Tap’s BTaaS initiative always looked like a good move, and to get a famous name (well famous in the small cap world) through the door so quickly is a result. It may allow shares of Tap to finally conquer that pesky 3p barrier once and for all.
Vaultz Capital plc (AQSE: V3TC), a digital asset operating company, announced that, following approval from the OTC Market Group Inc., trading in the Company’s shares has commenced on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol VZTCF. The Company’s shares will continue to trade on the Aquis Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. V3TC said “We believe this step will enhance the Company’s visibility, improve share liquidity and support our long-term capital strategy. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we expand our footprint internationally.”
Comment: Having an OTCQB listing has become de rigeur for the BTC Treasury Strategy Brigade, and although it is not perhaps the automatic turbo charger for liquidity it was earlier in the year, every little helps.
At the request of CIRO, Mkango Resources Ltd. (MKA) wished to confirm that the Company’s management is unaware of any material change in the Company’s operations that would account for the recent increase in market activity.
Comment: It is normally an adding insult to injury situation when a company has to explain itself to an exchange. But in the case of MKA’s stellar run and interest in the company, we have an ongoing green flag for the market.
Strategic Minerals plc (SML), an international mineral exploration and production company, is pleased to provide the following update on activities. Q3 2025 ore sales were up 42.4% versus the previous quarter at the Cobre magnetite operation in New Mexico, USA (“Cobre”) with 16,098 tons sold (Q2 2025: 11,305 tons). Q3 2025 revenue was up 31.9% to US$1.08m (Q2 2025: US$0.82m).
Comment: Quite understandably, after some years of gestation, SML can show off its metrics, with the only fly in the ointment perhaps being the amount of cash it is sitting on. One presumes this can be easily remedied if required.
EQTEC plc (EQT), a provider of proprietary syngas technology and engineering services for clean conversion of waste into sustainable energy and biofuels, announces a series of leadership and Board changes and cost optimisation initiatives, together with the suspension of the Rebel Ion Option Agreement and its replacement with a new funding facility. David Palumbo transitions to Executive Chairman, now based in the UAE to lead strategic capital formation and partnerships. James Parsons appointed to the board as CEO, bringing AIM-market, operational experience and energy leadership credentials.
Comment: With James Parsons now on board shareholders of EQT can now breathe a sigh of relief, especially as in theory EQT is in one of the hotter stock market spaces.
Further to the announcement on 21 October, Pan African (PAF) announced that the Company’s ordinary shares are expected to be admitted to the ESCC category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc’s main market for listed securities at 8:00am today and simultaneously cancelled from trading on AIM, a market operated by the LSE.
Comment: PAF must be sad not to have the pleasure of a Nomad breathing down its neck, and not paying for one any more. AIM must be delighted to have one less company to keep an eye on.
Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, announced the excellent results from the recent rock chip sampling program from its Darlot West Gold Project, located only 10km southwest of the iconic Darlot Gold Mine in Western Australia with 2.8 million ounces of gold produced to date, and 25km north of Northern Star Limited Thunderbox Gold Mine with an annual production of 232koz, resource of 4.7Moz and Reserve of 1.96Moz gold.
Comment: What a great time to unveil top notch gold results, as the price of the metal surges. It is also great fuel for the 5x rally in the shares we have seen since August. The chart suggests a top of price channel destination through 1.5p by the end of next month.
Power Metal Resources plc (POW), the London-listed natural resources exploration company and project incubator with a global portfolio, provided an update on the signing of the completed Exploration Agreement between Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resources and Fermi Exploration Ltd., in support of Fermi’s ongoing exploration in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
Comment: The first rate newsflow keeps on coming from POW. One presumes that sooner rather than later the share price will follow, especially in the current resources friendly environment.
Prospex Energy plc (PXEN), the AIM quoted investing company focused on European gas and power projects, confirmed that gas production from the Viura‑1B well in the Viura gas field in northern Spain has reached the planned plateau rate of 180,000 normal cubic metres per day. The operator of the Viura field, HEYCO Energía Iberia S.L. brought the well back into production on Friday 17 October 2025.
Comment: Production is at the end of the day what it is all about. Therefore today’s announcement from PXEN should continue to help not only the recent share price fight back, but also the previously battered sentiment towards the company.
