Cora Gold Ltd, up 39% at 4.30 pence, 12-month range 1.40p-4.30p. The West Africa-focused gold firm notes Mali "partially" lifts the suspension of new mining permits. The moratorium had been placed in November 2022. The lifting takes effect on Saturday. From Saturday, Mali will receive for "processing" applications for the renewal of exploration and exploitation permits, and transfer of operating permits. "In its announcement the government stated that the partial lifting of the moratorium does not apply to applications for the issuance of new mining titles or for the transfer of exploration permits," Cora Gold says. "Cora sees the partial lifting of the moratorium as a significant and positive turning point for the mining sector in the country and for its flagship Sanankoro gold project."

Mindflair Ltd, up 14% at 0.91 pence, 12-month range 0.45p-1.75p. The AI-focused investor sells minority position in Visibility Blockchain Ltd, or Getvisibility. Getvisibility is a cybersecurity company. Mindflair reports a EUR2.1 million "gross cash inflow" from the deal. In addition, through its exposure to the first Sure Valley Ventures fund, Mindflair stands to receive another EUR900,000. Mindflair also has a near 24% stake in Sure Ventures PLC, which in turn owns just under 26% of the first Sure Valley Ventures fund.

It may also receive additional funds from any distribution made by SV PLC," Mindflair says.
