The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
TPXimpact Holdings PLC - London-based technology-enabled services company - Selected for a £25 million, 3-year contract with the Ministry of Justice to provide probation digital delivery for Manage People on Probation and Probation User Services. The contract has an initial 3-year term to August 2029, with an option to extend for a further 12 months to August 2030. Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Conway says: "At a time when the public sector is under increasing pressure to deliver more with finite resources, digital transformation is one of the most effective levers available to improve productivity and service delivery. By equipping frontline teams with better tools, data and processes, organisations can increase capacity, reduce inefficiencies and achieve better outcomes for the people they serve. This award underscores our position as a trusted digital partner to UK Central Government. I'm delighted with the start we have made to this year; securing this contract brings our total new business won in the first four months of FY27 to £58 million, reflecting excellent execution against our growth strategy and demonstrating strong ongoing demand for our capabilities."

GreenRoc Strategic Materials PLC - London-based mining company with operations in Greenland - Says most of the necessary equipment for the purification line at its active anode materials pilot plant in Denmark is packed for shipment to Denmark. The units are expected to arrive at GreenRoc's plant in Horsholm the end of September. Additionally, says drilling at Amitsoq is "progressing well," with three holes now complete. "Although the geotechnical measurements are proving to be more time consuming than anticipated, the field team is confident that all of the drilling and data acquisition required to initiate the pre-feasibility study later in the year will be completed," adds. Finally, says its collaboration with the European Investment Bank InvestEU Advisory Hub has begun. GreenRoc has an agreement with the European Investment Bank for it to provide services to the company under the InvestEU Advisory Hub.

Petro Matad Ltd - petroleum exploration, development and production in Mongolia - Says its oil sales agreement with PetroChina for Block XX production has been implemented after delays due to internal discussions between PetroChina's Mongolian and head offices. "Confirmation has now been received that all the issues are resolved and the c. 48,000 barrel inventory of Block XX production in tanks at the Block XIX facilities will now be exported for sale. Invoices will be processed in September and PetroChina's Ulaanbaatar office has indicated that it will try and expedite payment ahead of the contractual terms, given its long delay in implementing the agreement," company says. Additionally, says until 2026 oil sales revenue is received, the planned 3D seismic survey is rescheduled. Well work at Heron-2 and Gobi Bear-1 is also rescheduled. "This is deemed prudent from a financial management perspective. At the same time, the Company's renewable energy joint venture has two new projects under fast-track development that have the potential to reach ready-to-build status and value crystallisation events in short order," company adds. Elsewhere, renewable energy joint venture SunSteppe Renewable Energy has secured exclusivity on three projects totalling 290 MW over the past few months. IT intends to participate in a tender for another 100 MW project.

NeoTerra Group PLC - Africa-focused resource exploration and development, formerly named Altona Rare Earths PLC - Updates on gallium metallurgical testing for its Monte Muambe Project in Mozambique. Receives preliminary results from Comex and SGS Lakefields for gallium ore sorting and hydrometallurgy respectively. "Comex tested the suitability of short-wave infra-red and x-ray transmission for pre-concentration of gallium-bearing feldspar. The results of the XRT testing show that XRT technology successfully allows the identification and separation of feldspar (which carries gallium and represents about 30% of the rock mass) from other minerals, providing a pathway for gallium pre-concentration," NeoTerra says. SGS carries out initial gallium extraction testing using both acid and caustic leaching routes. "The acid route delivered very promising results, with 85% gallium extraction to the leachate, and a good selectivity against silica," notes. Syays further metallurgical work are "necessary to confirm the potential viability of gallium recovery at Monte Muambe." "However, these results clearly validate the Company's assumptions with respect to possible pre-concentration and extraction options, and they provide a solid justification for further metallurgical testing to define and later optimize a flowsheet," adds.

CRISM Therapeutics Corp - British Virgin Islands-based pharmaceutical firm - Completes the site initiation visit at the lead NHS clinical trial site. Says it is working closely with the site, NHS Trust and its clinical partners "to enable patient recruitment to commence in the coming weeks." The Phase II study will evaluate irinotecan ChemoSeed, CRISM's implantable drug delivery technology designed to provide sustained, localised delivery of irinotecan directly into the tumour margin following surgical resection of a glioblastoma tumour.

Alien Metals Ltd - London-based mining firm focused on Australia - Announces further assay results for the Elizabeth Hill North and Elizabeth Hill Deeps diamond drill programmes. Diamond drilling intersects 67.1 metres at 19 grammes per tonne gold from surface in a broad near-surface silver zone extending west of the current Elizabeth Hill Mineral Resource Estimate block model, including internal higher-grade zones of 12.3 metres at 22 g/t gold from 24.7 metres down hole; and 10.9 metres at 24 g/t gold from 43.9 metres down hole. Further step-out and infill diamond drilling planned for the second half of 2026. Says this will "follow up H1 successes, advance conversion of Inferred to Indicated resources, and continue defining the new high-grade zone below historical mining."

Aterian PLC - minerals exploration and trading in Africa, including copper-silver projects in Morocco and Botswana and an exploration licence in Rwanda - Announces "coordinated package of capital support for the group." This comprises £150,000 of an unsecured convertible loan note in Aterian issued to the Chief Executive Officer, together with a USD350,000 underwriting commitment towards an up to USD500,000 redeemable preference share issue in Eastinco Ltd, the company's wholly owned Rwandan trading subsidiary. "Together, the investments demonstrate strong confidence in the group's strategy from the Chief Executive Officer and an existing shareholder, who has committed to providing Eastinco with lower-cost, predominantly non-dilutive capital to support the continued growth of its mineral trading operations. The current management team has never sold any shares in the company and remains firmly aligned with shareholders and committed to Aterian's long-term success," Aterian says.
