Contract Award and Trading Update

 

Second Contract Award from Lockheed Martin Mission Systems Corporation in H1 2016

&

Trading in both 2016 and 2017 now expected to exceed current market expectations

Pennant International Group plc ("Pennant"), the Aim quoted supplier of integrated logistic support solutions, products and services, principally to the defence, rail, aerospace and naval sectors and to Government Departments, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Pennant Training Systems Limited, has been awarded a further contract with Lockheed Martin Corporation MST (LMC) the majority of which is scheduled for delivery in 2017. This follows the award of a contract for the development of training for aircrew and engineering staff announced on 5 February 2016 with an initial value of £0.2 million with an option for additional works which, if exercised by the LMC, would increase the aggregate value of the contract to in excess of £2.2 million.

The new contract is to provide a Rotary Wing Rear Crew Winch Trainer (RCWT) in support of Rear Crew Training for the United Kingdom Military Flight Training System (UKMFTS). The RCWT is a representative cabin of the Maritime Advanced Rotary Training Aircraft and will support all aspects of Winch Operator training.

Pennant's CEO Chris Snook said "This is a significant second contract win for Pennant from the Lockheed Martin Corporation this year. It represents very important repeat business from one of the world's leading aerospace and defence contractors and is proof positive of the skills, expertise and international reputation of the Group. We look forward to further developing the relationship and to delivering a training solution that will ensure that Winch personnel are trained safely and effectively."

Trading Update and Outlook

Following today's contract announcement and the phasing of other recently announced contract awards, the Group's Order Book now stands at more than £45 million with delivery currently scheduled as to £17 million in FY2016, £18 million in FY2017 and £10 million in FY2018. The fulfillment of the order book will absorb additional working capital. As a result, and being mindful of other future growth opportunities, the Directors believe that it is in the Company's best interests to retain cash and therefore have decided to suspend the payment of dividends until further notice.

The Company expects to return to profitability in the six months ending 30 June 2016, an outcome which is significantly better than the equivalent period last year.  In addition, the Directors expect a further substantial improvement in trading in the second half and, based on the level of the confirmed order book, are confident that trading will exceed current market expectations for each of the financial years ending 31 December 2016 and 2017.

Results for the six months ending 30 June 2016 are expected to be released in the second half of September 2016.

For immediate release

 

15 June 2016

Galileo Resources Plc

("Galileo" or "the Company")

 

Update on Concordia Copper Project

 

Galileo (AIM: GLR), the exploration and development mining company, is pleased to announce significant positive progress with its initial independent study (as prepared by Minxcon Consulting) on the Concordia Copper project (the "Project" or "Concordia") in the OKiep Copper District in the Namaqualand Complex in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.

 

Highlights

·     Raw data review confirms prognosis for large-scale copper targets at Concordia

·     Four areas confirmed previous estimates and have been announced

·     In total eleven areas have been identified, at least five of which demonstrate considerable near-surface potential

·     Data package available allowed detailed modelling techniques not available in the early 1970s

·     Low-cost ground investigation comprising detailed mapping, induced polarisation (IP) geophysics and geochemistry planned for next exploration stage

·     The review has identified tungsten potential in historical mining areas.

 

Colin Bird, Chairman and CEO said: "When we embarked on this exercise we were optimistic that our current view would be confirmed independently. This view has now been confirmed and extended to other areas in Concordia with five areas showing significant potential for meeting our target criteria. We expect to complete phase 1 (desktop study) in early July and immediately progress to ground-truthing and possibly resource modelling with current available data. A bonus of this exercise has been the discovery of wolframite   trends on the property; wolframite being a primary ore mineral of tungsten, the current 180-day ore price of which is up by some 10% to date."  (source http://www.asianmetal.com/TungstenPrice/Tungsten.html)

 

Galileo is currently nearing the end of a desktop study of their Concordia Copper Project aimed at confirming historical prospective areas and identifying additional targets for assessment. Eleven promising high priority target areas have been identified based upon modern re-interpretation of existing historical data and include the four areas, on which previously announced high-level non-compliant resource estimation work has been conducted. These areas all represent known copper deposits or occurrences and, based upon existing data, have the potential for strike and or dip extensions. At least five of these areas are targeted for potential shallow, near surface, open-pittable copper ores. The Company's immediate exploration strategies for each target, include historical data assimilation, possible resampling of previous core, data ground-truthing comprising mapping, IP geophysics, confirmation drilling and additional extension drilling with the aim of generating compliant Mineral Resource estimates for the Project. In addition, the Concordia area is also known for its wolframite deposits. Galileo have noted the existence of numerous shallow wolframite deposits on its property, most of which were also historically mined at surface or at shallow depth. Galileo intends to conduct an assessment of these in due course as well.

 

Concordia Project   

The Project is located in the Okiep Copper District (OCD), within the Bushmanland mobile belt in the Namaqualand region of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The OCD is approximately 600 kilometres (km) (370 miles) from Cape Town and the town of Concordia is within 30 km of the town of Springbok.

 

The Project area and prospecting license covers a little more than 36 000 hectares (360 km2) on the farm Concordia (ERF 1251) some 15 km north east of the closed O'Kiep copper mine, which at one time was the  2nd largest copper producer in southern Africa after the  Phalaborwa copper mine (still in production)  in the Limpopo Province.

 

The OCD has been subjected to intense geological and geophysical exploration over the past 55 years to 1998. While this exploration included 1300 km, of which 133 000 metres (m) were in the Project area, the focus of this historic drilling targeted high grade underground deposits that were emplaced at depth within steeply dipping structures comprising basic rocks of anorthosite, diorite and norite of the major Koperberg (Old Dutch – copper mountain) Geological  Suite (KS) .  

 

Excellent outcropping of the KS and associated sympathetic geophysical anomalies made locating these copper bearing deposits relatively easy. These easily located deposits are now all but depleted

 

Total production and known reserves from these deposits as at 1985 was 2 Mt (million tons) of Cu from/within 27 separate localities over an area of around 3000 km2.

 

The total production plus reserves for the period 1940 to 1979 is 95 Mt @ 1.75% Cu with individual mines including Okiep, Spektakel, Carolusberg, Nababeep and Concordia, ranging in production from 0.2 Mt to 37 Mt. 
 

The mined and known copper deposits are confined to the Koperberg Suite, the youngest major group of intrusives in the district, which occurs as swarms of generally irregular, easterly trending, steep north dipping, dyke like bodies, usually 60 to 100 m wide, and seldom exceeding 1 km in continuous strike length. The Koperberg suite bodies are found within narrow linear antiformal structures (locally called 'steep structures') along which the continuity of the adjoining 'intruded' Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex rocks has been interrupted by piercement folding and faulting. In places pipe-like bodies of 'mega-breccia' that generally lie along these structures are hosts to the Koperberg Suite. Steep structures, 'mega-breccias' and the Koperberg Suite all post date the major fold events. 

 
The Koperberg Suite comprises mainly basic rock types of diorite, anorthosite and norite in order of decreasing abundance. Many of the Koperberg Suite bodies are entirely uniform, while others are composite. There is some evidence for initial anorthosite, followed by progressively more basic types. The copper is associated with the more basic lithologies.

The copper sulphides, mainly chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and bornite (Cu5FeS4) with subsidiary chalcocite (Cu2S), range from fine disseminations, to coarse granular, to vein aggregates, to local massive concentrations. Pyrite (FeS2) is widespread but in small amounts, sometimes containing traces of cobalt. Pyrrhotite (~FeS) is present in some orebodies, with associated pentlandite (NIFeS) , while minor galena (PbS)  and sphalerite (ZnFeS) is found in others.

 

The sulphides post-date silicate and oxide minerals and are present in a number of forms including, interstitially between silicate grains; as granular aggregates with silicates; along cleavage planes of hypersthene and mica; and replacing Fe-Ti-oxides. Localised hydrothermal alteration of hypersthene around sulphide grains is a conspicuous feature in little altered host rock.  

 

General

 

Galileo has the right to earn-in a 51% beneficial interest in the Concordia copper project, by way of 51% beneficial shareholding in Shirley Hayes IPK (Pty) Ltd ("SHIP") on expenditure of ZAR10million (approximately GBP500 000) over 14 months on exploration and development. SHIP holds the copper prospecting rights to the 36,373-hectare (364 km2) Project Area in the OKiep Copper District in the Namaqualand Complex in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Galileo continues to review the Data Base, which comprises extensive geological exploration data including mapping sampling, geophysics, and some 1 300km of drilling from previous exploration by others including OCC in the Okiep Copper district and the Project Area.

Altitude Group plc

("Altitude", the "Company" or "Group")
 

Enterprise Level Technology Agreement

 

Altitude Group plc, the provider of innovative technology solutions for small to medium sized businesses, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Customer Focus Software Inc., has agreed a partnership with Aprinta Group ("Aprinta") based in Rochester, NY, USA, a leader in the provision of screen printing and promotional product supply to distributors, based in North America (the "Agreement").

Under the terms of the Agreement, Altitude will provide a technology solution to create over one million linked websites for Aprinta's distributor customers. Each of these e-commerce enabled sites will be automatically branded with the customer's logo or design using technology from the Group's Interactive Imaging business, including the patented ArtworkTool solution.  In addition, Altitude will provide Aprinta with full visibility and editorial control across the entire customised website structure.

In return, Altitude will receive a share of the gross margin on revenue generated through the new website structure.

The agreement is for an initial five-year term, with automatic renewal for a further five years. The Directors expect the first websites to be in place towards the end of Q3 2016 and that the Agreement will not have an impact on the Group's results for the current year.

Peter Hallett, Non-Executive Chairman of Altitude, said "The estimated 130,000 promotional product salespeople in the USA previously had to rely on slow and expensive legacy solutions to provide a custom website for each of their customers, and this provided a barrier to growth in online trading for promotional products. Once Altitude generated websites go live, an improved overall experience will be available online and on demand, with a custom online store created in three clicks, and an engaging shopping experience delivered with full e-commerce capability in under a minute.

"We have previously announced that we were exploring ways to increase shareholder value by leveraging our comprehensive suite of protected and proprietary applications, and that our preference was to seek a share of revenue rather than a flat monthly fee for our services.  This is the first of a number of such opportunities that we are working on.

"The Agreement fully aligns us with Aprinta's strategy and we are delighted to have agreed terms on this partnership. Not only will we provide the linked websites, but we will also deliver product visualisation and production ready artwork as well as a CRM/ERP solution to ensure an optimal customer experience with a high level of operational efficiency. This click to shiptm partnership model is a new innovation and has potential in other markets, whichwe plan to address."

Billy Dolan, Chief Executive of Aprinta Group, said, "We have had this vision for three years and have looked at every option to find a technology partner that not only understood the personalised product space in fine detail, but also had every element of the technology we needed to make this a success by accommodating a significant transition of the industry to an online model. The revenue share arrangement ensures we are all incentivised to deliver this solution to distributors in the USA's $22 billion market place.

"We have over half a million square feet of production space in Alexander City, Alabama alone, with additional facilities in Rochester, New York and Los Angeles, California giving us the largest capacity for screen printing in the USA.  We also have plans to double this over the next 12 months by adding new equipment and upgrading existing machinery. There is no other company with the capacity to print, pack and ship 500,000 t-shirts and 500,000 pens from the same facility within two days."

Beowulf Mining PLC

2 June 2016

 

Beowulf Mining plc

("Beowulf" or the "Company")

Åtvidaberg nr 1 Swedish Exploration Licence Awarded

 

Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration and development Company focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore project in northern Sweden and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to announce that the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden has awarded the Company an Exploration Licence for Åtvidaberg nr 1, with the Company focusing on the prospect of polymetallic discoveries.

Overview

·   The licence area covers 225 square kilometres ("km2") and is located in the Bergslagen area, southern Sweden.  The licence is valid for 3 years from the 30 May 2016.

·   Bergslagen is one of Europe's oldest mining districts and yielded a substantial portion of Sweden's mineral wealth in the 1800-1900s, with a number of large mines and hundreds of smaller mines producing copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver and iron ore.  Current operating mines in the area include Boliden's Garpenberg and Lundin Mining's Zinkgruvan.

·   Most of southern Bergslagen has seen little modern exploration, yet it hosts Bersbo, one of Sweden's largest early copper mines, and Zinkgruvan, Sweden's most important zinc mine. 

·   Other than at Zinkgruvan, exploration activity in Bergslagen has predominantly focused on finding new outcropping ore bodies. Some historic mining areas have not been mapped here since the early 1900s. 

·   The ore types that Beowulf is exploring for are amenable to modern exploration methods, and the Company hopes to build a detailed picture of what lies at shallow depth.  The southern Bergslagen district comprises strong potential for the types of Volcanic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") deposits typical to the area, namely exhalative style, exemplified by the nearby Zinkgruvan mine, and replacement-reaction style, exemplified by the Falun mine.

·   Beowulf has created a Geographic Information System ("GIS") Database, capturing significant historical data for the area. Beowulf has also established an expert team who are familiar with the area, geological setting, and style of deposit we are exploring for.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:

 

"We are delighted to have been awarded an Exploration Licence for Åtvidaberg nr 1, maintaining our Nordic focus, while adding some commodity diversification to our asset base.

"We are reaffirming our commitment to doing business in Sweden, re-building our exploration activities with such an exciting prospect in the country. It's often said that the best place to explore is next to a producing mine, and that is the potential offered by Åtvidaberg, benefited also by its location in an established mining jurisdiction, with access to infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce.

"With both our graphite portfolio in Finland and polymetallic focus with Åtvidaberg, we are focused on 'intelligent exploration'. This includes managing our costs, understanding all the historic data that is available, efficiently committing resources to fieldwork to develop our knowledge base, to eventually define the best possible targets for drilling. 

"The Company already has personnel in the field conducting an initial 'brainstorming' assessment of priority targets, and an off-site expert team is analysing various aspects of the GIS database. The findings of these activities will inform our work for a second field programme later this summer.

"The board and I look forward to updating the market in due course on our progress."

Pennant International Group plc: Major New Contracts worth in excess of £13 million;

Two Middle-Eastern Training Contracts secured with potential to supply significant additional support;

 

Pennant International Group plc, ("Pennant" or "the Group"), the AIM quoted supplier of integrated logistic support solutions, products and services, principally to the defence, rail, aerospace and naval sectors and to Government departments, is delighted to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Pennant Training Systems Limited, has signed a major new contract and has received confirmation of the award of another and has been instructed to commence work. The contracts are being undertaken for two Middle Eastern customers and have an aggregate value of over £13 million.

 

The contracts, one of which has been anticipated for some time, are both for the supply of a range of equipment, hardware and software, and maintenance support to aeronautical engineering training at training colleges in the Middle East. The equipment to be supplied includes Part Task Trainers to develop basic hand skills, mechanical and avionic systems for practicing maintenance activities and a virtual reality procedure trainer for aircraft marshalling and ground handling activities.

 

The contracts are expected to run through to the end of 2017. Both customers are adopting a phased approach to installation and integration, whereby incremental increases to technical capabilities and training capacity will be implemented, providing for the planned growth of both colleges, which are in turn expected to provide Pennant with additional significant contract opportunities.

 

Commenting on the new awards, Chris Snook, Pennant CEO, said: "These are two very significant contracts for Pennant. Not only do they further enhance our reputation as one of the industry's foremost providers of leading edge equipment, software and support to aeronautical engineering training, they also provide a huge boost to our order book through 2016-17."

 

Mr Snook added: "These new orders provide the Board with a good degree of confidence that revenues and earnings for the current financial year ending 31 December 2016 are likely to significantly exceed current market expectations."

Seven year framework agreement

 

Proton Power Systems plc (AIM: PPS), a Clean Tech total power solution provider, uniquely the designer, developer and producer of fuel cells and fuel cell electric hybrid systems, is pleased to announce that it signed with a blue chip German customer a significant framework agreement for fuel cell emergency power units. The total value of the framework agreement is €15 million for a number of systems which are all expected to be delivered and installed over a seven year period. The agreement currently covers only one of Germany's regions, Bavaria, and follows the first binding order received in April from this customer for the delivery of systems worth €1.8 million during 2016.

 

The power range of the units to be delivered to this customer varies from 6 to 8kVA and the units will be contained in outdoor cabinets which include hydrogen storage, fuel cells, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and auxiliary components. These units provide a complete solution based on hydrogen fuel cell technology for long backup time, supplying clean energy for critical loads.

 

Faiz Francoise Nahab Ph.D., CEO of Proton, said: "This framework agreement is another milestone that will provide year on year revenue streams as commercialization of our core technology is now realized. Our continued investment in our manufacturing capability is now bearing fruits. This is the proof that the fuel cell technology is commercially attractive to customers resulting in projects which will provide years of revenues for Proton. This order demonstrates our expertise in providing complete solutions with a fuel cell as part of a UPS system with a very long backup time. The combination of fuel cell and UPS technology allows us to design complete solutions also for customers with high power rating requirements. We are confident of an increase in demand for hydrogen based applications in 2016 and beyond ".
