They initially plunged on fears over US tariffs, a potential trade war, and recession risks—only to rebound sharply after President Trump announced a 90-day delay on the planned levies. As a result, the FTSE 100 ended the week down about 1%, while smaller companies outperformed, with small-caps closing up 1.4%. So far this year, the AIM All-Share has fallen 11% to 645. Gold soars to new record highs as the dollar slumps on the escalating US/China trade war. Yesterday, gold prices rose 3% and are up another 1.2% in the spot market, hitting highs of $3,227/oz. This week, **Verici Dx (VRCI)** secured local coverage determination for Tutivia reimbursement, allowing the company to begin recognising revenue from the test. In Q1 2025, 292 tests were ordered, each priced at $2,650. The global annual market for the test is estimated at 100,000 patients. Singer had previously slashed its 2025 revenue forecast from $11.6 million to $4.4 million. A fundraising round is anticipated by June. Following the reimbursement news, Verici’s share price surged 81.8% to 2.5p, recovering earlier losses from the week. **ATOME PLC (ATOM)** saw its shares surge 55% after signing a £355 million construction deal for its flagship green fertiliser plant in Paraguay. Swiss engineering group Casale will lead the project, which aims to produce 260,000 tonnes of low-carbon fertiliser annually using 100% renewable energy. At 43p, Stifel called the shares a bargain, valuing them at 130p. **Induction Healthcare Group PLC (INHC),** a digital platform connecting patients and doctors, has agreed to a £9.7 million takeover by Canadian software firm VitalHub. The news sent shares soaring 58% over the week. **Minoan Group PLC (MIN)** staged a dramatic comeback, with shares jumping 48% after a recent collapse sparked by concerns over its financial health. The travel group is now racing to secure a rescue agreement with lender DAGG LLP, which is owed £1.2 million and has been charging a 22% default interest rate since January. While the bounce may signal renewed hope, the stock remains down about 62% this year. If no resolution is reached, trading will be suspended on May 1. **Cobra Resources Plc (COBR)** climbed 23% after announcing plans to begin sonic drilling at its Boland rare earths project in South Australia. The upcoming programme, which employs high-frequency resonant energy, will involve up to 15 drill holes aimed at evaluating mineralisation and supporting a future resource estimate. This follows a successful air core drilling campaign conducted earlier. **Greatland Gold (GGP)** is shifting its holding company’s domicile to Australia as part of its strategy to list on the ASX. The new entity will be named Greatland Resources Ltd. Despite the move, the company will maintain its AIM listing. The announcement lifted shares 16.7% to 14p. **Metals One (MET1)** successfully completed a fundraising round, raising £3.1 million through a combination of a retail offer and convertible loan notes, priced at 2p per share. The company also issued warrants at 2p/share, potentially bringing in up to £10 million. Metals One is focused on acquiring copper assets in Finland. The share price rose 13.6% to 25p. **Sound Energy (SOU)** reported a £150 million loss for 2024, largely due to impairment charges related to the sale of its Moroccan subsidiary. Its Phase 1 micro LNG project has been delayed, though first gas could still be processed by year-end. Sound holds a 20% stake in the venture. Shares gained 11.5%, closing at 0.725p. **Oracle Power (ORCP)** released additional assay results from its Northern Zone Intrusive Hosted gold project, reporting notable gold intercepts with grades reaching up to 1.94g/t. All eleven drill holes intersected gold mineralisation, and more samples are pending analysis. Shares climbed 14% to 0.0245p. **FALLERS** **Audioboom Group PLC (BOOM)** dropped 23% this week, despite what broker Cavendish called a “robust” set of preliminary results and an encouraging trading update. Cavendish maintains a bullish stance, valuing the shares at 1,300p—over three times their current level. Chairman Michael Tobin also appeared to back the company’s prospects, snapping up shares on the open market. **Gemfields (GEM)** has announced a fully underwritten rights issue to raise $30 million at 4.22p per share – a discount of one-third to the 30-day average price. The funds will provide essential working capital for 2025. The company reduced operating costs in 2024 and expects further savings this year, though it still posted an operating loss of $98 million for the period. Shares fell 19.2% to 4.75p. **Coro Energy (LON: CORO)** has agreed to conditionally sell its 15% interest in the Duyung PSC to Conrad Asia, marking a strategic shift towards clean energy investments. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and will release Coro from all obligations related to the asset. As part of the deal, Coro will settle a $777,000 debt to Conrad Asia with a $300,000 payment. Upon receiving government approval, Coro will be issued 500,000 shares in Conrad Asia, with an additional $750,000 in shares to follow within 45 days of the project’s commercial production. Shares dropped 20.8% to 1.05p. **Catenae Innovation (CTAI)** has raised £750,000 through a placing at 0.15p per share, with £150,000 coming from Sanderson Capital Partners. In addition, £450,000 in director fees have been settled via the issuance of 30 million new shares. The company plans to invest in Alludium, a developer of an AI-driven process automation platform. Subject to shareholder approval, an initial £500,000 will be committed, with a potential further £450,000 investment once funds are received from Klarian. This would give Catenae a 13% stake in Alludium. Shares slipped 13.2% to 0.165p. **Mosman Oil and Gas (MSMN)** reported that several issues still need to be resolved by the operator of the Vecta helium project in Colorado—where Mosman holds a 20% working interest—before drilling can commence. The five-well programme is currently scheduled to begin in mid-May. Shares slipped 7.35% to 0.0315p. --- **Original URL:** https://www.share-talk.com/share-talk-weekly-small-cap-movers-shakers-saturday-12th-april-2025/ *Created by [WP Markdown Endpoint](https://wpmarkdownendpoint.com/)*
