Europa Metals is an exploration and development company focused on its wholly owned Toral Pb-Zn project in NW Spain. The company is currently drilling Toral’s high-grade core with the aim of collecting a bulk sample for metallurgical testwork as well as increasing confidence in the current JORC (2012) compliant inferred mineral resource estimate of 16Mt grading 3.9% Zn, 3.1% Pb and 24g/t Ag. Currently trading on an in-situ resource multiple (US$/t) of just 1.5x, the stock is significantly undervalued compared with our peer group multiple of 24.8x. As such, we value Europa at 0.095p per share which is a simple average between our DCF derived (0.13p per share) and our peer based (0.06p per share) relative in-situ valuation. Our blended valuation offers significant upside to the current share price.

As a function of the restructuring of the company since the end of 2018, Integumen has delivered a nine fold increase in revenue in H1 2019.

With a successful fundraising of £2.75m also completed in April 2019 providing significant working capital, we believe that Integumen is very well placed for continued sales growth in H2 2019.

Preliminary data from the West Newton appraisal well suggests that the discovery is at least as big as the pre-drill estimate of 189 BCF of gas. This implies that West Newton could be the largest onshore UK gas field discovered since 1973, assuming that subsequent testing confirms the scale of the resource. Reabold holds an indirect interest of 24.7% through its 37.08% interest in the operator, Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited. |

Labskin AI has entered into testing agreements with three exciting new clients. In aggregate, these contracts are worth approximately £290,000 with the value of all contract revenue expected to fall into the current year.
