Foresight Solar Fund Ltd (LSE:FSFL, FRA:1F5) is holding its dividend at 8.10p — that's a 13.4% yield at current prices, which tells you how wide the discount is. The fund generated over a thousand gigawatt hours last year and brought its first battery storage project online.
Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF, FRA:VD5N) saw non-operated production jump to 983 barrels a day in Q4, driven by last year's acquisition. Asset sales have also brought in cash to recycle into its flagship Paradox project in Utah.
RC Fornax PLC (AIM:RCFX) says demand for its defence consultancy work is rising as the military looks to do more with existing budgets. Progress since IPO has been slower than expected, but the CEO says new hires and better sales processes are already showing results.
Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) has hit its widest tin intercept yet at its Kalayi prospect in the DRC — 20 metres at 1% tin. The team is drilling deeper to test whether it gets better, and a resource estimate update is on the way.
