Sharp gains for the AIM All Share as the new week gets underway, with investors shrugging off concerns over the latest posturing from the US. Resurgent interest in precious metals and mining stocks is however providing cause for cheer. At the bell the index was almost seven points ahead at 797.24 – the 800 level is back in reach!
- IQE +41%
- Nativo Resources +26%
- MicroSalt +18%
- Indus Gas -29%
- Surface Transforms -16%
IQE LON:IQE was the biggest gainer on Monday, adding 41%. A trading update this morning noted a strong second half performance guiding results towards the upper end of the previously stated range. The company enters Q1 with a strong order book.
Nativo Resources [LON:NTVO] was in second place, up 26%. Assay results delivered this morning were clearly seen as encouraging with a vein being sufficiently high quality for mining to restart.

MicroSalt [LON:SALT] takes the notable mention, up 18% after a trading update noted sales above forecasts and predicted a strong outlook for FY26 and FY27. A key global customer appears to be delivering a meaningful impact here.

Indus Gas LON:INDI was the biggest faller, off 29%. The company is seeing volatility following its announcement late last week that it is moving from AIM to a matched bargain facility, although its worth noting that the spread accounts for most of the day’s loss.

Surface Transforms LON:SCE was trading 16% lower. There’s no news but the move reverses most of the gains picked up last week with elevated volumes and reports of heavy, lumpy selling.
