This week's AIM resources roundup opens with Beowulf Mining's suspended shares and the financing gap now facing the company. It also examines three different helium propositions from Pulsar Helium, Helium One and Quantum Helium, asking what has been funded, what still needs capital and which operational result matters next.

Copper production rose at Anglo Asian Mining as Demirli ramped up. PetroTal added cash while drilling the first well in its renewed Bretana programme. Cornish Metals advanced dewatering and construction at South Crofty, Empyrean moved Mako into physical fabrication and Central Asia Metals cleared the final approvals for its Cygnus acquisition.

Also covered: Arkle Resources, Aura Energy, Borders & Southern, Eco Atlantic, Vast Resources, Mkango Magnetic Materials, Afentra, First Development Resources and KEFI Gold and Copper.
