Bradda Head 8.7p £25.5m (BHL.L) Bradda Head has completed its core drilling programme at its Burro Creek East asset in Arizona. · The first of Bradda's fast-track drilling programmes at its 47km2 of sedimentary claims has been completed, all remaining core has now been logged, delivered to ALS in Tucson, and will shortly be assayed. · Bradda has drilled 10 holes (7 new locations and 3 twinned) for a total of 1,145m metres. Originally 5 twinned holes were planned, but the Company decided to focus on resource expansion after receiving positive assays from the first three twinned holes. The 7 new holes have allowed us to test more of the unknown areas of the asset and, combined with our recent geophysical data, have enabled our geologists to increase the knowledge of the deposit significantly.· Assay results received so far from the 3 twinned holes on this project (RNS 27/9/2021) have confirmed the 2018 programme's results and have indicated the presence of expected but previously unknown mineralised material in the Lower Clay zone as well as expanded Upper Clay zone material at the Burro Creek East asset. · Recent geophysical work at the Burro Creek East asset has added to Bradda's geological model and will be included in the updated resource calculation (due Q1 2022) which is expected to be a significantly larger than the current 185kt LCE JORC inferred resource. · Assay turnaround times have been slow in returning due to the very high volume of exploration in the US.

Tyman 398.5p £782m (TYMN.L) The  international supplier of engineered components and access solutions to the construction industry, provides an update on trading for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 October 2021. The positive trading momentum has continued into the second half of 2021, with the International division performing particularly strongly, largely mitigating the widely publicised supply chain constraints that have impacted North America and the UK during the period. As indicated at the time of the interim results in July, strong market demand and market share gains have continued despite global supply chain challenges, notably material and labour availability, as well as global freight disruption. The Group now expects that full year adjusted operating profit will be marginally below consensus. Group revenue increased by 12% to £529 million on a reported basis and by 19% on a like-for-like (LFL) basis for the ten months to 31 October 2021 compared with the corresponding period in 2020, which was impacted by operational shutdowns and reduced demand due to COVID-19. Compared to the corresponding period in 2019, LFL revenue was 8% higher.

The Belfast team has recently provided its first major in-service support to a Virgin cruise vessel. This is a significant step towards providing high value-add services to clients whilst vessels are in operation without the need to dry dock and incur additional costs by taking vessels out of service. The Dorset Spirit is currently sailing from Canada to the Building Dock in Belfast for repair works. This is the first time since the acquisition of the assets of Harland & Wolff (Belfast) that a vessel of this size will grace the Building Dock and remain there until the works have been completed. At the same time, the Company is currently hosting the P&O Azura at the quayside of the Repair Dock of the Belfast facility. The Azura is the largest cruise vessel to have entered and docked at Harland & Wolff (Belfast). At Appledore, the Company awaits the arrival of the MT Entsha towards the third week of October. Fabrication work has already commenced on a major crane upgrade that will be required on the vessel once she is in the dock. This project effectively reactivates the fabrication halls of Appledore and demonstrates its readiness to take on larger and more complex works programmes.

As previously announced, the presence of cellulose, a non-toxic, natural plant-based material, had been identified during chemical characterisation testing on samples of large bore vascular grafts. After undertaking a full analysis of the possible source, a secondary study was commissioned to test grafts manufactured under revised cleanroom protocols, which has now confirmed that no cellulose was present in leachable extracts from the new graft samples tested. Once the full chemical characterisation report has been received from the third-party test house, the Group will proceed to submit the 510k notification. RUA can also confirm that a manuscript will be submitted to the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgeons (EACTS) to support a presentation on the results of 'in vivo' testing of the RUA grafts at the EACTS' annual meeting in October 2021, and will be submitted for publication in a respected Journal. RUA is very excited by the observations from the 'in vivo' testing and believes this could become a potentially seminal paper on the future direction of surgical graft implantation. RUA looks forward to attending the meeting to gauge both clinical and industry reaction. Thor Mining 0.98p £17m (THR.L) Drilling has commenced at the Kapunda Copper ISR Project in South Australia.
