Gold miner Centamin (CEY) has announced its results for the first half of 2024 including emphasising improved earnings and free cash flow and that it is advancing organic growth opportunities within its asset portfolio. We suggest those mean clear further upside from a 119.4p share price.

eEnergy – trading update argues now “strong momentum”, but sufficiently strong for the expectations?

Describing itself as “revolutionising the path to Net Zero as a leading digital energy services provider for B2B and public sector organisations”immediately makes me wary of eEnergy Group (EAAS) as small companies that claim “revolutionising” often tend to use it mainly to attempt to justify vast cash outflows. What of this business, which has today issued a “trading update” and with its shares currently responding up to 5.7p though still down from approaching 8p earlier this year?

On June 27 Eurasia Mining (EUA) warned that it could not get its annual report out by June 30th and thus that its shares would be suspended as of July 1. As I explained HERE, its excuses did not wash. But Eurasia did promise that the report would be out within 4 weeks.

Victoria shares hit new low of 157p: 2 new concerns

I continue to believe that drowning in debt carpets roll up Victoria (VCP) has all the makings of a zero. At 157p the market cap is now sub £180million. Borrowings are more than £1.1 billion and with cash continuing to be guzzled rather than generated I cannot see how it digs itself out of such an enormous hole. Now I flag up two new matters.

Pantheon Resources $29m placing at 17p: time to close the shorts, banking big gains

I have always been a fundamental bear of Pantheon Resources (PANR) as its assets do not excite me and its management strike me as the sort of promoters who I can do without engaging with. About six weeks ago with the shares at c 30p I specifically and explicitly advised going short as, the company was flagging up a clear funding need. Well guess what?

UPL

Upland Resources is Violet Elizabeth Bott

Those of my age will understand the reference, a very young Bonnie Langford in Just William: “I’ll scream and scream and scream until I am sick.” And thus Upland Resources (UPL) has issued its third RNS of the week. This all started with state owned Petros saying that it would open up block SK334 to a competitive tender before drilling in 2025. Hitherto Upland has been raising money on the idea that it had an exclusive right to enter a PSC on the block.
