    Silver Range Resources CEO Mike Power joined Steve Darling to announce that the company has significantly expanded its U.S. project portfolio by staking two new early-stage gold exploration properties the Quinn Property in Nevada and the Drum Property in Utah. The additions strengthen Silver Range's strategy of identifying high-grade, drill-ready targets across the American West. Power explained that the Quinn Property, located in Humboldt County, Nevada (Sections 25 and 26, Township 42N Range 31E), hosts exposed mineralization within the Happy Creek Volcanics, a Triassic–Jurassic sequence of andesite flows and minor volcaniclastics. These rocks have undergone lower greenschist facies metamorphism and are cut by west-northwest trending shear zones. Historic workings on the property include a small mine cut with several short adits that follow parasitic northeast-trending structures, which may be linked to a more substantial west-trending shear system. Silver Range staked and sampled the property in August 2025, collecting five grab samples that returned values ranging from 0.040 g/t to 27.5 g/t gold, with silver values up to 15.7 g/t. Notably, two of the five samples assayed above 5 g/t gold. Power added that historic data from Silver Range's proprietary database includes a grab sample grading 46.6 g/t gold, further underscoring the property's high-grade potential. Power also detailed the staking of the Drum Property in Juab County, Utah (Sections 17, 18, and 20, Township 14S Range 11W). Here, gold mineralization occurs in widespread jasperoid replacements and breccias developed within Cambrian Orr Formation limestone. The geological setting, mineralization style, and geochemical signature bear strong similarities to Carlin-type systems found in Nevada, one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world. Sampling conducted during staking returned gold values from trace amounts up to 1.02 g/t Au, with silver results ranging from trace to 15.2 g/t Ag from a total of 23 chip samples. Looking ahead, Silver Range plans to advance both projects with targeted exploration programs, including geological mapping, prospecting, and integrated geochemical and geophysical surveys. These efforts are designed to delineate mineralized zones and refine targets for potential future drilling. #proactiveinvestors #silverrangeresources #tsxv #sng #mining #mikepower #nevada #eastgoldfield GoldExploration #SilverRangeResources #MiningNews #NevadaGold #UtahMining #QuinnProject #DrumProject #GoldInvesting #JuniorMiners #CarlinStyle #MiningUpdates #PreciousMetals #ResourceDevelopment #ProactiveInvestors

    M2i Global, Nimy Resources advance Gallium offtake deal for non-chinese supply

    M2i Global CEO Alberto Rosende joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nimy Resources, outlining plans to collaborate on forming commercially binding terms for the future sale and purchase of gallium production. Rosende highlighted that the agreement comes at a strategically important time for the United States. The U.S. currently has no domestic primary gallium production and depends entirely on imports, with a substantial portion originating from China. Although China has temporarily lifted its export ban on gallium to the U.S. until November 2026, shipments remain under tight export controls requiring government-issued licenses. With gallium essential for semiconductors, defense systems, and clean-energy technologies, developing secure, non-Chinese supply pathways is now a national priority. The MOU sets the stage for M2i and Nimy to work together on the potential supply of gallium sourced from Nimy's Mons Project in Western Australia, which hosts a near-term JORC-compliant gallium resource along with other critical minerals, including rare earth elements. Rosende emphasized that the JORC Code—Australia's strict professional standard for public mineral resource reporting—ensures transparency, reliability, and technical rigor in the evaluation of these resources. The collaboration is exclusive to the Mons Project and does not extend to Nimy's other assets. Under the MOU, both parties will now begin due diligence and negotiations toward a binding offtake agreement, focusing on commercial terms such as pricing structures, contracted volumes, and delivery logistics. Nimy continues to advance development of the Mons Project, including permitting and funding efforts, to align with the timelines envisioned in the agreement. Rosende noted that if finalized, the partnership would mark an important step in building a resilient, non-Chinese supply of gallium for the U.S. market—supporting security of supply for the semiconductor, energy, and defense sectors. #proactiveinvestors #m2iglobalinc #otcqb #mtwo #CriticalMinerals #SupplyChainSecurity #StrategicMinerals #USDefense #EconomicSecurity #BlockchainLogistics #CriticalMinerals #NevadaMining #parslee #volato #gallium

    Lumos Diagnostics strengthens U.S. market strategy with new AcuityMD data partnership

    Lumos Diagnostics Chief Commercial officer Paul Kase joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major step forward in the company's U.S. commercialization strategy for FebriDx®, its rapid, 10-minute point-of-care test that helps clinicians quickly distinguish between bacterial and non-bacterial respiratory infections. The company has signed a strategic collaboration with U.S. med-tech data platform AcuityMD, a move designed to sharpen visibility into real-world reimbursement patterns and accelerate adoption across key clinical settings. Kase explained that navigating the U.S. reimbursement landscape remains one of the most critical and complex challenges for diagnostic companies. While FebriDx is fast, accurate, and clinically validated, achieving consistent reimbursement from both private and public payers is essential for driving repeat ordering by physicians and expanding market penetration. The new partnership is intended to help Lumos close the often-significant gap between “published” reimbursement rates and actual payments received by clinicians — a common barrier that has historically slowed adoption of innovative diagnostics. The collaboration comes at a pivotal time, as Lumos accelerates its U.S. rollout in partnership with commercial collaborator PRO-spectus, building on strong September-quarter performance and an expanding set of pilot programs across urgent care and primary care networks. AcuityMD's AI-driven platform integrates data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and major claims aggregators, covering more than 330 million U.S. patients. By harmonizing national reimbursement data, the platform delivers clear insights into payer-specific behaviour, enabling Lumos to target markets and geographies where reimbursement is most predictable — and to identify gaps where additional education or billing support may be required. Kase noted that this expanded visibility is expected to support more confident ordering among clinicians, reduce administrative uncertainty, and help Lumos drive sustainable, long-term adoption of FebriDx across the U.S. healthcare system. #proactiveinvestors #lumosdiagnosticsholdings #asx #ldx #otc #ldxhf #FebriDx #PointOfCare #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalDiagnostics #Reimbursement #AcuityMD #Prospectus #MedTech #USHealthcare #InsuranceClaims #ProactiveInvestors

    Earthwise Minerals reports high-grade gold and silver from 2025 fieldwork at Iron Range project

    Earthwise Minerals CEO Mark Luchinski joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has received encouraging assay results from its 2025 field program at the Iron Range Project in British Columbia, with samples returning grades up to 13.4 g/t gold, 27.2 g/t silver, >10,000 ppm arsenic, and 2.7% lead. Earthwise holds an exclusive option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Iron Range Project from Eagle Plains Resources Ltd., which owns the property 100%. Management from both companies consider the project to have strong potential for multiple mineralization styles, including structurally controlled gold-silver, iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG), and Sullivan-style lead-zinc-silver SEDEX mineralization. A portion of the property remains subject to a 1.0% NSR held by a third party. Luchinski explained that the 2025 field program focused on detailed follow-up of historic soil and till geochemical anomalies, geological mapping, and prospecting along structural splays of the Iron Range Fault—a major regional structure associated with past discoveries. Work targeted the Pyromorphite, Star West, DIP, and Golden Cap zones. In total, geological crews from Terralogic Exploration Inc. collected 531 soil samples, 15 rock samples, and 5 heavy mineral concentrates. The high-grade assays and strong pathfinder elements support the company's belief that multiple mineralized structures remain underexplored across the district-scale property. Earthwise expects the new results to guide its next phase of exploration as it works toward defining drill-ready targets for future programs. #proactiveinvestors #earthwiseminerals #cse #wise #ironrangeproject #GoldExploration #SilverMining #ZincDiscovery #BCMining #SullivanStyleDeposit #JuniorMining #MiningInvesting #ResourceExploration #MarkLuchinski

    Zephyr Energy PLC CEO Colin Harrington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a comprehensive update on the company's ongoing development work in the Paradox Basin, Utah, alongside significant advancements in the company's financial structure and strategic growth plans. Operationally, Harrington highlighted that Zephyr's primary focus is now on integrating the three previously drilled Paradox Basin wells, which are positioned to deliver near-term hydrocarbon production following the recent Competent Person's Report, which confirmed a major upgrade in the company's reserves and resources. The company continues to work closely with Enbridge on engineering and commercial documentation relating to its planned natural-gas transportation service, while simultaneously advancing required regulatory approvals. Zephyr is also nearing the final selection of a marketing partner for its natural gas and associated liquids, a key step toward commercializing upcoming production volumes. In addition, Zephyr has taken a strategic step to secure future growth by nominating a substantial amount of acreage for inclusion in forthcoming U.S. federal lease sales. Over the past three months, the company has nominated more than 60,000 net contiguous acres, positioning itself strongly for potential expansion. Management believes Zephyr's existing acreage position and infrastructure footprint will offer a significant competitive advantage during upcoming federal auctions. Harrington announced that Zephyr has successfully refinanced its existing borrowing base and secured additional short-term loan facilities to support accelerated near-term development. The company's senior lender, First International Bank & Trust (FIBT) of North Dakota, recently completed its semi-annual borrowing-base redetermination and reaffirmed the full value of Zephyr's existing credit capacity. As of now, Zephyr's total borrowing with FIBT stands at approximately US$22.1 million, down substantially from US$35.3 million in January 2024 and US$27.4 million in October 2024. FIBT's latest evaluation placed the PV-10 value of Zephyr's non-Paradox proved developed producing (PDP) assets at more than US$46 million, supporting the reaffirmed borrowing base. As part of the refinancing, Zephyr consolidated its two outstanding term loans with FIBT into a single, more efficient facility with a lower blended interest rate, improving the company's financial flexibility. Harrington emphasized that these financial and operational milestones collectively position Zephyr for a transformative phase of development and value creation across its Paradox Basin portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #aim #zphr #otcqb #zphrf #ZephyrEnergy #OilAndGas #EnergySector #ColinHarrington #ProductionTest #ParadoxPlay #OilProduction #EnergyUpdate #BOE #Condensate #State36_2R #WellTestResults #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #OilAndGas #ParadoxBasin #EnergyInvestment #NaturalGas #ColinHarrington #EnergyDevelopment #AcreageExpansion #GasMarketing #EnergyFinance #UpstreamEnergy #ProactiveInvestors

    U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the continued strength in global travel trends and how they are benefiting two of the firm's key exchange-traded funds: the JETS ETF, listed on the NYSE, and the TRIP ETF, listed on the London Stock Exchange. Holmes emphasized that global travel demand remains exceptionally strong despite macroeconomic uncertainties and operational disruptions. Holmes noted that the surge in travel is so intense that airlines are now placing passengers on waitlists even when they attempt to use reward points for upgrades. “The demand is so big, they do not take your points to give you the upgrade — they now take your points and put you on a waitlist,” he explained. He also pointed to the resilience of air travel during recent challenges, including the U.S. government shutdown and labor actions in Canada. Despite these hurdles, Transportation Security Administration staff continued working, helping facilitate record-breaking travel volumes. Holmes described a significant post-pandemic psychological shift among consumers, with travelers increasingly prioritizing experiences. Cruise lines—which faced intense scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic—have rebounded dramatically. He compared modern cruise ships to “floating hotels,” noting that demand is surging to all-time highs. Meanwhile, rising hotel and airfare costs in destinations such as Japan and Europe reflect the broader global enthusiasm for travel. Given these trends, Holmes believes the TRIP ETF, which provides exposure to both cruise lines and airline stocks, is well positioned to benefit from sustained strength across the travel sector. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #JETS #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks #SmartBeta #TravelBoom #ProactiveInvestors #USGlobalInvestors #FrankHolmes #TRIPETF #TravelStocks #CruiseStocks #AirlineETF #TravelTrends #PostCovidTravel #StockMarketInsights #ETFInvesting #CruiseBoom #AirlineDemand

    RadioPharm Theranostics CEO Riccardo Canevari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant clinical milestone for the company. Its Phase 2b trial evaluating RAD101, an advanced molecular imaging agent, in patients with brain metastases has now reached 50% patient enrollment, marking strong momentum as the study progresses toward completion. The ongoing U.S. multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 2b trial is assessing the diagnostic performance of 18F-RAD101 in 30 individuals with confirmed recurrent brain metastases originating from a range of solid tumors. The trial's primary endpoint is the concordance between 18F-RAD101–positive lesions and those detected through conventional MRI with gadolinium, the current imaging standard for suspected recurrent disease. Canevari emphasized the importance of this milestone, noting that reaching the halfway point in enrollment represents meaningful progress for the RAD101 program. He added that the study aims to demonstrate RAD101's potential to distinguish true tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis—a major clinical challenge for patients previously treated with therapeutic radiation. Continued enrollment momentum supports the company's confidence in completing the trial and reporting topline results in the first half of 2026. RAD101 is RadioPharm's novel imaging small molecule designed to target fatty acid synthase (FASN), an enzyme that is highly overexpressed in numerous solid tumors, including metastatic lesions in the brain. The program has been further strengthened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Fast Track Designation, which recognizes the agent's potential to differentiate recurrent disease from treatment-related effects across multiple tumor types, including leptomeningeal disease. #proactiveinvestors #radiopharmtheranostics #asx #rad #nasdaq #radx

    Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the results of a significantly upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate for the northern portion of the company's Banio Potash Project in Gabon. The update was completed by ERCOSPLAN, one of the world's most respected potash consulting firms and a specialist with deep expertise in the West African Potash Basin. Banio is located at the northern end of the West African Evaporite Basin, a region recognized globally as a proven and productive potash district. Abasov highlighted the dramatic upgrades delivered in the new estimate, noting that the project had no Measured Resource only a year ago. Today, the combined Measured and Indicated (M&I) Resource has surged by 275%, while the Inferred Resource has increased by 210% compared to the maiden estimate published in 2024. The new MRE includes 2.42 billion tonnes of Measured + Indicated Carnallitite grading 15.5% KCl and 3.6 billion tonnes of Inferred Carnallitite grading 15.4% KCl. Abasov described this expansion as “massive,” underscoring the consistency and scale of the potash seams encountered across all drilling to date—some exceeding 100 metres in thickness. This, he said, provides strong evidence of the grade, continuity, and geometry needed to support highly efficient solution mining operations. The company also confirmed that the updated resource represents only a fraction of the northern section of the full project area. Looking ahead, the new MRE will serve as a critical foundation for the upcoming Feasibility Study. That study is being supported by a non-dilutive US$3 million funding commitment from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. The FS will evaluate a range of solution mining production scenarios as the company advances toward potential development. #proactiveinvestors #millennialpotahscorp #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf #potash #CriticalMinerals #Potash #USGeologicalSurvey #FertilizerIndustry #USDFC #FoodSecurity #ResourceEstimates #MiningNews #GabonProjects #ProactiveInvestors

    Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to the most recent quarter represents the strongest period of dual-engine growth in the company's history, driven by rapid expansion in both its Bitcoin mining operations and its high-performance computing (HPC) business. Holmes highlighted that the company successfully scaled its Bitcoin mining fleet to 16.2 EH/s by September 30, 2025, and has since reached 25 EH/s currently operational, marking one of the most aggressive efficiency and capacity expansions in the sector. This contributed to digital currency mining revenue of $82.1 million, a 101.2% sequential increase, supported by an 86.2% quarter-over-quarter rise in average hashrate and a modest lift in Bitcoin prices. Direct mining costs totaled $42.1 million, with approximately 88% tied directly to energy, underscoring the company's ongoing focus on cost discipline and optimized power management. Holmes emphasized that this was a defining quarter for HIVE, with both business pillars—Bitcoin mining and the BUZZ HPC division—achieving record revenue. He noted that while Bitcoin hashprice rose only about 25% year-over-year, HIVE's revenue surged 285% thanks to aggressive hashrate growth and operational efficiencies. He also underscored the company's deployment capabilities, pointing to the rapid construction of 300 MW of infrastructure in Paraguay within just six months, demonstrating HIVE's ability to build at global scale with speed and precision. Holmes also announced a new milestone for HIVE's subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing. BUZZ has signed an agreement with Dell Technologies to deploy its next major wave of AI infrastructure and has formalized operating agreements with Bell for Phase 1 of the BUZZ and Bell AI Fabric rollout. Under the new agreement, BUZZ will deploy a 63-node cluster of liquid-cooled Dell PowerEdge XE9680L servers, powered by 504 next-generation GPUs specifically optimized for AI computing. These systems will be delivered using Dell's Integrated Rack Scalable Systems (IRSS) architecture, with full installation scheduled at the Bell AI Fabric data center.

    Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq:TNXP) CEO Dr. Seth Lederman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, to advance the clinical development of TNX-1500. Lederman explained that the partnership supports an Investigator Initiated Phase 2 clinical trial focused on kidney transplant recipients. Study initiation is contingent on institutional review board (IRB) approval and FDA clearance of the investigator-initiated investigational new drug application (IND). The study will assess TNX-1500, an anti-CD40 ligand monoclonal antibody, alongside a low-dose regimen of tacrolimus. The goal is to reduce or potentially eliminate the need for conventional immunosuppressive therapy. “We believe that the relatively low dose of tacrolimus should not have the same side effects that are associated with the higher dose,” Lederman said. The company views TNX-1500 as a differentiated approach to transplant immunology, aiming for immunomodulation rather than traditional immunosuppression. If successful, the product could become a standalone therapy. “Ultimately, the TNX-1500 could be monotherapy,” he noted, with the current study designed for regulatory expediency. Lederman also highlighted longer-term potential, noting that TNX-1500 may have applications beyond transplantation, including autoimmune conditions such as lupus. Key features include once-monthly dosing and what the company believes is best-in-class potency, supported by completed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies. #TonixPharmaceuticals #TNX1500 #KidneyTransplant #Immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials #TransplantMedicine #BiotechStocks #SethLederman #AutoimmuneResearch #PharmaNews

    New Era Energy & Digital accelerates AI infrastructure strategy amid growing industry interest

    New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's ongoing transformation from a conventional helium and natural gas operator into a next-generation AI infrastructure and power solutions leader. Gray emphasized that the company's third-quarter financial results reflect not a slowdown in traditional operations, but a deliberate and strategic redeployment of capital toward high-value digital infrastructure. Gray explained that New Era is heavily investing in the development of its powered shell data centers in Odessa, Texas, a region increasingly recognized as a prime location for energy-intensive AI and high-performance computing deployments. The CEO noted that constructing these facilities requires sophisticated planning, major engineering work, and significant capital, with build-out costs ranging from $8 million to $12 million per megawatt—a level of investment consistent with global hyperscale data-center economics. Reflecting on the company's early pivot into behind-the-meter power solutions, Gray recalled the initial skepticism New Era faced when it began positioning itself ahead of the AI-infrastructure boom. “We were laughed at a year ago… now that's all anyone's talking about,” he said, highlighting how industry sentiment has since shifted as grid constraints and soaring power demand become central issues across North America. Gray confirmed that New Era is currently in active discussions with multiple potential tenants, including major technology operators evaluating the company's West Texas assets. However, he emphasized the rigorous due-diligence process required for hyperscale and AI-compute clients, who assess power reliability, infrastructure scalability, and long-term energy economics before committing to multi-year leases. On the financing front, Gray made it clear that New Era's build-out will be funded primarily through institutional and asset-level project financing, rather than relying heavily on equity raises. This approach, he said, is designed to protect shareholders from unnecessary dilution while generating compelling returns from long-term data-center revenue streams. Gray added that New Era's strategy—combining energy-sector expertise, behind-the-meter power, and a high-growth digital infrastructure model—has attracted the attention of tier-one financial institutions, private credit providers, and major technology firms, all of whom are seeking scalable power solutions for AI and high-performance computing. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nuai #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors

    PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about navigating the current interest rate environment through the company's Performance Trust Total Return Bond UCITS ETF. Dranfield outlined how the fund is outperforming its benchmark despite recent market headwinds, attributing this success to a deliberate balance of offensive and defensive allocations. “We're trying to source total return from these nontraditional sources,” he said, noting the unpredictability of interest rates as a key consideration in their approach. He highlighted that elevated yield levels across the curve make today's bond market a more compelling environment than in previous years. On the offensive side, Dranfield pointed to the steepness of the yield curve—particularly in the 20-year Treasury and municipal bond space—as an underappreciated driver of total return that traditional yield and duration metrics often miss. On the defensive end, he noted that interest-only commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and very short investment-grade corporates offer yield without significant rate risk. These instruments help the fund remain rate-agnostic while still targeting total returns in the 5% to 6% range. Dranfield also expressed concern about tight spreads in investment-grade corporates, prompting the team to look elsewhere for opportunities with better risk-reward dynamics. “There are some really interesting opportunities both offensively and defensively right now,” he noted.

    Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share results from new sampling at the historic La Dura mine within the company's high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Archer said the identification of another gold-silver zone at La Dura has extended the mineralized strike length along the Dos de Mayo vein structure to nearly 500 metres, significantly expanding the project's potential. The newly defined zone remains open, with large gaps between the three principal mines—Pinos Cuates, Dos de Mayo, and La Dura—which have yet to be drill tested. Notably, the Dos de Mayo vein has never been previously drilled, marking a key exploration opportunity. The La Dura mine consists of a main adit following the vein for roughly 60 metres along strike northwest of the portal, plus two smaller adits about 10 metres above and to the southeast, collectively referred to as La Dura 2. Compared to the more developed Pinos Cuates and Dos de Mayo mines, La Dura has seen limited underground work, with 146 of 722 total underground samples on the project taken there. Of those, 40 samples were collected from the two small adits, including six composite channel samples along an exposed 12-metre strike length. Results returned an average width of 1.3 metres and average grades of 1.98 g/t gold and 98 g/t silver, with individual samples up to 4.51 g/t gold and 269 g/t silver over 0.5 metres. Very fine visible gold was observed in several locations. Archer noted that given only 12 metres of the mineralized zone is currently exposed, there is strong potential for expansion through further underground development and future drilling. He added that these preliminary grades at La Dura 2 are consistent with other low-sulphidation epithermal systems in Mexico and reinforce the high-grade nature of the El Potrero project. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #GoldMining #SilverMining #Metallurgy #ElPotrero #PinnacleSilverGold #MiningProjects #ResourceDevelopment #MiningMexico #MiningNews #GoldRecovery

The HRA subsequently granted study-wide governance approval, confirming full compliance with U.K. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and National Health Service (NHS) capacity and capability standards. The Phase 2 trial is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study enrolling up to 90 patients with BCC. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of D-MNA compared to a placebo control. Participants will be randomized into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio, a placebo-controlled group, a low-dose group, and a high-dose group. Dr. Bokhari highlighted that the 200 μg high-dose level represents the maximum dose previously tested in Medicus Pharma's Phase 1 safety and tolerability study, which was successfully completed in March 2021. The company views the U.K. expansion as a significant step toward advancing its novel microneedle drug delivery platform and potentially transforming the treatment landscape for non-melanoma skin cancers through a minimally invasive, localized therapy that may reduce the need for surgery and improve patient outcomes. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #CompassionateUse #FDAApproval #RareDiseaseTreatment #NoninvasiveTherapy #BiotechNews

You process waste,” he said. “With a little bit of investment… we add very significant cash flow and NAV because we do not have mining cost — this stuff has already been mined out.” The news followed the company's oversubscribed $15 million capital raise and the strong market response to its Enriched Ore Treatment Project. Volynets noted that the project requires minimal capital expenditure — $39 million across two phases — and could add $200 million in net asset value, a 60% uplift. The technology is described as low-risk and already proven in Turkey, and the company is targeting first cash flows by the end of next year. Looking ahead, Volynets said a key milestone will be achieving commercial production of copper and zinc concentrates from the sulphide layer by mid-next year, while also continuing M&A activity.

    Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how institutional demand for regulated crypto investment products is holding steady, even amid broader market volatility. Greco noted that although the overall crypto market value declined by 5.5% in October, crypto ETP assets only dipped by 2.5%, highlighting a shift in appetite among traditional finance players. “The demand for crypto ETP products still remains somewhat stronger compared to the underlying itself,” he said. Bitcoin ETPs, in particular, have held their ground and now account for around 7% of total Bitcoin supply. According to Greco, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in early 2024 opened access for larger capital bases, significantly boosting institutional involvement. He also mentioned treasury plays and unlisted funds as additional vehicles contributing to institutional holdings. On Ethereum, Greco explained that its ETP assets saw nearly 90% growth this year, as investors seek to diversify after gains in Bitcoin. “There's been a rotation and a higher demand on Ethereum,” he said, underscoring Ethereum's rising credibility in traditional finance. He also addressed the recent trend of investors shifting from altcoin-specific products toward basket ETPs that include Bitcoin and Ethereum, citing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties as driving a "flight to quality."

    EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the signing of two new royalty-bearing commercial license agreements, marking another step forward in the company's ongoing expansion into international markets and diversified applications of its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum dehydration technology. Charleton shared that the first agreement was signed with Shinyway International Limited, a cannabis processing service provider based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Under the terms of the commercial license, Shinyway has been granted the rights to use EnWave's patented REV™ technology to produce premium cannabis products in New Zealand. Shinyway will pay royalties consistent with similar existing EnWave licenses, and both companies will collaborate closely to optimize product development and process performance. In addition to the Shinyway agreement, Charleton announced a second royalty-bearing commercial license with a U.S.-based snack company developing an innovative line of ultra-healthy, fruit- and vegetable-based snack products. The Licensee has received legal confirmation allowing it to claim its product as the “healthiest salty snack ever produced.” EnWave has worked in close partnership with the Licensee for several months to refine and perfect the dehydration process for its proprietary formulations. Following these successful trials, the Licensee has purchased a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum machine for initial commercial production. Installation is scheduled at a large third-party contract manufacturer in Mexico before the end of 2025. The Licensee intends to launch its first REV™-dried products in Mexico in early 2026, with expansion into the U.S. market planned for 2027. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #BluechipClients #FoodTech #BusinessNews #Investing #RadiantEnergyVacuum #Agritech #Procescir #DehydrationTechnology #FoodInnovation #SupplyAgreement #InvestmentNews #ProactiveInvestors #microdried

    Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share details of the company's upcoming 2026 exploration programs and to summarize key milestones achieved across its 2025 activities in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Hillacre said the company's 2026 plans will include high-resolution geophysical surveys and targeted diamond drilling across multiple uranium projects, highlighted by the fully drill-ready Davidson River property and partner-funded exploration at the Corvo and Rocas projects. Drilling campaigns are scheduled throughout the year as Standard Uranium continues to advance its extensive portfolio across the Basin. At the Davidson River project—Standard Uranium's flagship asset—new high-priority target areas have been delineated along the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors through the first-ever Exosphere Multiphysics survey completed in the southwestern Athabasca. With all required drill permits secured and Exploration Agreements signed with the Clearwater River Dene Nation, the company plans to commence an 8,000-metre drill program in early spring 2026. At the Corvo project, a ground gravity survey spanning more than 29 kilometres of conductive strike is set for December 2025. A 3,000-metre winter 2026 diamond drill program will follow—marking the first drilling on the property in over 40 years—with targets including the Manhattan Showing and newly identified radioactive zones. Meanwhile, at the Rocas project, following a 2024 gravity survey and interpretation work by Convolutions Geoscience, a 1,800-metre drill program is planned for winter 2026 to test high-priority anomalies along a 7.5-kilometre magnetic low and EM conductive corridor that hosts multiple uranium showings. In addition, Standard Uranium will continue advancing its Sun Dog project through 3D modeling and inversion of EM and gravity data collected in 2024 and 2025. These efforts will refine targets ahead of a future partner-funded drill campaign. Hillacre said the company's exploration strategy remains focused on disciplined, data-driven target generation and partnership-supported programs aimed at unlocking new uranium discoveries across Canada's premier uranium district. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #sundogproject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #DavidsonRiver #MiningInnovation #Geophysics #AmbientNoiseTomography #ResourceInvesting #FleetSpace #UraniumDiscovery #MiningNews

    Sterling Digital Plc CEO Stefan Michaelides joined Stephen Gunnion in Proactive's studio with more on the company's unique approach to off-grid Bitcoin mining and its upcoming listing on the Aquis Growth Market. Sterling Digital is distinguishing itself from traditional miners by utilising stranded natural gas from oil fields, primarily in the United States, to power its operations. According to Michaelides, this model provides a cost advantage and addresses an environmental challenge by capturing methane-rich gas that would otherwise be vented or flared. He explained, “We're not only solving an environmental issue, but creating a valuable asset at the same time.” The company sources the gas at prices under one dollar per MCF, which translates to approximately half a cent per kilowatt-hour—significantly lower than grid-based energy costs. Michaelides also discussed the scalability of Sterling Digital's operations, noting that a series of assets are already lined up, setting a clear path for the next 12 to 18 months. While future international expansion is being considered, the focus remains firmly in the United States for now. Sterling Digital plans to hold its mined Bitcoin as part of a treasury policy, potentially lending to liquidity providers to earn yield. The company's ticker on the Aquis exchange will be ASIC.

    Greencoat UK Wind PLC (LSE:UKW) co-head Stephen Packwood talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the UK government's proposed changes to inflation indexation under the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Feed-in Tariff schemes, and their potential impact on investor sentiment and consumer bills. Packwood said the government is considering switching the indexation from RPI to CPI, including the possibility of applying CPI retrospectively, which would effectively fix current RO levels for the next 9 to 10 years. He noted, “Retrospective changes such that this typically lead to an increase in the cost of capital.” He warned that these changes could raise electricity costs and harm consumers, especially as energy demand increases due to the electrification of heating, data centres, and electric vehicles. As an alternative, Packwood pointed to a voluntary Contract for Difference scheme, allowing generators to agree to fixed prices below wholesale levels, which could save around £30 annually per household. He said this would be “relatively fast and relatively simple” to implement.

Catchpole explained that hVIVO presented new data at the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza (ESWI) and the World Vaccine Congress, highlighting the role of challenge models in expediting vaccine and antiviral development. “Challenge models give a really good opportunity to get fast proof of concept data very, very quickly,” he said. He detailed progress on several new models, including those for RSV B, HMPV, and Omicron. The HMPV model addresses a critical unmet medical need, as there are currently no approved treatments or vaccines. Catchpole said the model supports fast-tracked development of interventions for at-risk populations such as infants and the elderly. The finalised Omicron challenge model reflects real-world conditions, targeting vaccinated or previously exposed individuals. This enables the evaluation of next-generation or pan-coronavirus vaccines. Catchpole also outlined how the RSV B model complements existing RSV A research, particularly for assessing combination vaccines across both strains. These models can serve both early-stage proof of concept and as supplementary data to traditional phase 2 or 3 studies. Looking ahead, hVIVO is expanding into respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, and through its acquisition of CRS, is moving into cardiometabolic and renal disease models.

    Buccaneer Energy Plc (AIM:BUCE) CEO Paul Welch talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the results from the Allar #1 well and the company's forward strategy. Although the well did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons, Welch explained that it yielded valuable subsurface data that confirms the positioning of a key bounding fault. Welch said, “As we got closer to that fault, the sand thinned and became shale-ier. And so there just wasn't special amount of hydrocarbons here to complete the well in this location.” Despite the outcome, he noted the findings were instrumental in refining the placement for future wells. He also discussed the upcoming Fouke #4 well, which is expected to replicate the performance of Fouke #1 and #2, potentially delivering 124 barrels per day at field allowable rates, with a net of 40 barrels per day to Buccaneer. At current prices, that equates to approximately $55,000 per month in net cash flow. Operational constraints mean a sidetrack from Allar #1 would require partner approval, but Welch remains optimistic about reaching a productive zone slightly west of the original bore. Turning to current production, Welch said the Pine Mills field is generating steady cash flow with low operating costs.

The new entity will start with A$10.5 million in cash from Tombador and an additional A$10 million raised through the transaction—funds that will support continued exploration and development of GoviEx's Muntanga Project in Zambia. Major also highlighted the importance of Matador Capital becoming a significant shareholder group, bringing a track record of success from projects including Boss and Lotus. “We needed to complement our existing strengths—and this partnership achieves exactly that,” he said. The deal received overwhelming shareholder support, with 99% voting in favour. For investors, no action is required during the transition.
