Capital Metals PLC, up 4,8% at 1.1 pence, 12-month range 0.9p-5.79p. In what it terms an ‘extremely challenging year’, the Sri Lanka-focused mineral sands mining company says its pretax loss in the 12 months months to March 31 narrows to $1.1 million from $1.9 million a year prior. The company generates no revenue, unchanged from a year ago. Looking ahead, the company says it is confident that licences in Sri Lanka, which have been suspended since December 2022 due to an ongoing investigation there, will be reinstated but that there can be no guarantee.

AIM - LOSERS

Cambria Africa PLC, down 24% at 0.22p, 12-month range 0.22p-0.44p. The Zimbabwe-focused investment company’s shares hit an all-time low as they resume trading after being suspended in February. Late Thursday, the firm released its delayed results for financial 2022 and the first half of financial 2023. In the six months to February 28, revenue falls 38% to $451,000 from $724,000 a year before, as pretax profit drops to $139,000 from $240,000. The company says this weaker performance is due to a decline in revenue and earnings contributions from Tradanet.
