Savannah Resources (LON: SAV) has released definitive feasibility study results for the Barroso lithium plant in northern Portugal. There is a 14 year life of mine and the project is estimated to require $417m of upfront capex. This is higher than previously thought due to inflation and future expansion readiness. A Portuguese government grant of $95m will help to fund capex. All in sustaining costs are $646/t SC5.5. The NPV8 is $913m based on a price around 12% below the current spot price. The final investment decision could be in the first half of 2027, which would mean that lithium product could start before the end of 2028. The share price is 3.2% higher at 6.45p.

Advanced materials and paper manufacturer James Cropper (LON: CRPR) best profit expectations for the year to March 2026 thanks to growth in advanced materials and a reduction in loss for paper and packaging. Revenues were 4% ahead at £102.9m, while underlying pre-tax profit rebounded from £1.3m to £4.7m. Net debt was cut from £12.9m to £8.1m. Paper and packaging successfully replaced sales from a lost client to almost maintain revenues. Efficiency improvements cut the loss. Advanced materials grew on the back of hydrogen coatings sales, although these will be lower this year. A debt restructuring will reduce interest costs, and the paper contribution should continue to improve, more than offsetting any dip in profit at advanced materials. Profit is expected to rise in 2026-27. The share price increased 3.95% to 395p.

Angus Energy (LON: ANGS) says second quarter production from the Saltfleetby field was 530 million cubic feet of natural gas and 3,365 barrels of gas condensate in the second quarter of 2026. Estimated revenues were £7.16m. The outstanding debt facility was reduced to £24.7m. The share price slumped when Angus Energy returned from suspension yesterday and they have rebounded 2.78% to 0.185p.

Phosphate producer Kropz (LON: KRPZ) says its subsidiary that operates the Elandsfontein mine has agreed a $12.3m loan facility with Ubunto-Botho Investments. Mining volumes have been hampered by variability of the ore body. There have also been cost increases. In the quarter to June 2026, 95,956 tonnes of phosphate was produced, which was down 17% on the previous quarter. There was 94,000 tonnes in stock at the end of the period. This has increased working capital requirements. The share price is one-quarter lower at 0.9p.

Technology investment company Tern (LON: TERN) has raised £450,000 at 0.9p/share. This will be invested in the existing portfolio and for working capital. The previous placing in May was at 0.6p/share. The share price slid 9.62% to 1.175p.

Trading analysis and monitoring software supplier Beeks Financial Cloud (LON: BKS) confirmed full year revenues of £40m and adjusted pre-tax profit 13% ahead at £6.2m, which was better than expected. The share price fell 5.81% to 202.5p.
