Hive Digital Technologies Chief Executive Officer Aydin Kilic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major operational milestone as the company's global Bitcoin mining hashrate has surpassed 8.3 Exahash per second (EH/s). This achievement marks a significant step forward in HIVE's strategic plan to scale operations to 25 EH/s by Q4 2025. Kilic attributed the rapid growth to the successful commissioning of the company's first 100-megawatt hydro-powered data center in Yguazu, Paraguay, which became operational earlier this quarter. The new facility underscores HIVE's commitment to sustainable, low-cost energy sources, a key pillar in its growth strategy. HIVE is currently on track to hit its Phase 1 target of 11.5 EH/s by the end of June 2025, with additional capacity expected to come online in the coming weeks. Importantly, the company has fully funded its next wave of ASIC orders, enabling growth to 18 EH/s in Q3 2025. This was strategically accomplished through the deployment of HIVE's Bitcoin treasury, which now stands at 610 BTC. Further expansion is well underway. HIVE's second 100 MW facility in Yguazu is on schedule for completion this summer and will support the increase from 11.5 to 18 EH/s. The final push to reach 25 EH/s will be supported by the third 100 MW facility, located in Valenzuela, Paraguay, set to come online in Q4 2025. With multiple new facilities, a well-funded expansion plan, and a clear roadmap, Hive Digital is positioning itself as one of the world's leading Bitcoin miners with an emphasis on green energy and long-term scalability. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BitcoinMining #ParaguayMining #DataCenter #Exahash #S21Miners #DigitalAssets #ProactiveInvestors

TNR Gold Corp Executive Chairman Kirill Klip talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's transition into a cash-flow-generating royalty business and the major catalysts surrounding the Los Azules copper project in Argentina. Klip described 2024 as a crucial year for TNR Gold, marking its graduation from a project generator to a royalty-focused company. “We are building the green energy metals royalty and gold company,” he said, noting that this shift is expected to crystallize market valuation and support share price momentum. A key milestone is the upcoming definitive feasibility study for the Los Azules copper, gold and silver project, operated by McEwen Mining. TNR Gold holds a royalty on the entire asset. Klip highlighted the strong economics already demonstrated in the 2023 preliminary assessment and suggested there could be a “substantial increase in all resources” in the updated study. The project has attracted major strategic investors including Stellantis, which committed over $275 million, and Rio Tinto, which entered via a $100 million venture. Klip also referenced potential new discoveries near the deposit and the possibility of McEwen Copper pursuing an IPO later this year. Klip added that TNR Gold recently released a corporate update reviewing M&A opportunities in the royalty space, and suggested the company's royalty holding could be valued up to $30 million based on comparable deals.

Oriole Resources PLC CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Bibemi Gold Project in Cameroon. Rosser confirmed a significant uplift in contained gold at Bakassi Zone 1 (BZ1), with the new estimate standing at 460,000oz—comprised of 100,000oz in the Indicated category and 360,000oz in the Inferred category. The average grade is just over two grams per tonne, based on a gold price of US$2,750/oz. The new figure represents a 23% increase compared to the January 2024 MRE and is based on just 7,000m of drilling. Rosser highlighted the strong conversion rate and noted the geometrically unified block's suitability as a starter pit. He also shared a new JORC exploration target across Bakassi Zones 1 and 2, as well as Lawa East and West, estimating an additional 145,000oz to 400,000oz of contained gold. Discussing mineral processing, Rosser said: “It bodes well for the ongoing next steps.” He detailed test work from SGS and CS Solutions, which supported a proposed flow sheet achieving around 85% gold recovery through flotation, pressure oxidation, and cyanide leaching. Looking ahead, the company will begin preliminary economic assessment studies and advance its exploitation license application with the Cameroonian government.

Rome Resources Plc CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's resumed drilling program at the Mont Agoma prospect in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The company has also announced assay results from two more drill holes—holes 24 and 26—which Barrett described as "encouraging," reinforcing Rome's geological model of a polymetallic system. Barrett explained that tin is typically found at deeper depths and higher temperatures, while copper and zinc occur nearer the surface. These new assay results confirm that model and are helping to inform the targeting of deeper drilling zones within the core area of Mont Agoma. He referenced a visual cross-section shared at a recent investor forum that illustrates this downward trend—higher tin values to the south and at depth. Rome Resources is currently undertaking a 3,000-metre drilling program, with individual holes reaching depths of 300 to 400 metres. While results from new drill holes will take time due to lab processing in Johannesburg, Barrett noted that assays should begin to return toward the end of June. He anticipates a steady flow of updates over the next four to five months, culminating in a new resource estimate. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

GinsGlobal Index Fund CEO Anthony Ginsberg talked with Proactive about the performance of the GinsGlobal Tech Megatrend UCITS ETF (ITEK) amid shifting geopolitical and economic conditions. Ginsberg noted that the ETF is up 1% year-to-date, with a remarkable 25% gain over the past month alone. He attributed the rally to strength in key technology subthemes, including digital entertainment, AI, robotics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. Unlike many tech funds, the ETF avoids heavy concentration in US tech giants, instead offering equal weighting across eight subthemes and 120 holdings globally. Ginsberg emphasised: “Really playing the IT game in a broader manner has actually helped us and spread out the risk.” The fund's resilience followed an initial decline linked to tariff uncertainty under the Trump administration. However, as Ginsberg explained, “Most of our tech holdings… are all pretty much in the services space,” and thus less affected by manufacturing-focused tariffs. He also highlighted a more positive policy environment in the US, with prospects for tax cuts, deregulation, and potential interest rate reductions. These are seen as supportive for growth stocks. Ginsberg underscored the importance of convergence across tech sectors, arguing that investors should consider the broader ecosystem rather than focusing narrowly on themes like AI or robotics alone.

Anteris Technologies Global Corp. CEO Wayne Paterson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's progress during the first quarter of 2025, highlighting significant regulatory, clinical, and operational milestones following its successful $80 million initial public offering. A core focus of the quarter was the continued development of the company's DurAVR® transcatheter heart valve (THV), a first-in-class device designed for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Approximately $20.8 million of the IPO proceeds have been allocated to advancing DurAVR®, including funding for the pivotal PARADIGM clinical trial and related manufacturing and regulatory initiatives. Paterson emphasized that the company successfully submitted its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during the quarter—marking a significant regulatory milestone that clears the path for Anteris to initiate its U.S.-based clinical trial program. “Reaching over 100 patients treated with DurAVR® is a critical clinical milestone,” Paterson noted. “We are bringing a new class of valve technology to a space that hasn't seen true innovation in decades.” To support this expansion, Anteris has scaled its clinical field team, manufacturing, and quality operations, tripling its operational capacity in 2024. These enhancements position the company to manage increased clinical activity and meet regulatory demands as the PARADIGM Trial ramps up. Pending FDA approval of its IDE application, Anteris expects to commence the PARADIGM Trial in Q3 2025—a pivotal step toward broader commercial adoption of DurAVR®. #proactiveinvestors #anteristechnologiesglobalcorp #asx #avr #nasdaq #avr #DurAVR #TAVR #MedicalDevices #CardiologyInnovation #ClinicalTrials #StructuralHeart #FDAApproval #HeartValve #MedTechUpdates

Kevin Carter, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of EMQQ Global and the INQQ Fund joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight the resurgence of emerging markets and the strong performance of EMQQ and INQQ funds in 2025. After more than a decade of lagging behind developed markets, Carter believes the tide is finally turning. He noted that the EMQQ Fund is up 20% year-to-date, reflecting growing investor interest and momentum in markets that have long been overlooked. “We're finally seeing a rotation back into emerging markets,” Carter said, pointing to improving fundamentals and demographic tailwinds. Carter outlined a compelling long-term investment thesis: emerging markets represent 85% of the world's population and 90% of its future, as measured by people under 30. These markets also tend to grow faster economically, and they're now undergoing a massive digital transformation. This transformation is being fueled by the widespread adoption of affordable smartphones, which are providing billions of people with internet access for the first time. “They're not getting laptops,” Carter explained. “They're getting their first-ever computer—and it's a low-cost, Android-based smartphone.” This leapfrog into the digital world is creating enormous opportunities for local tech companies, many of which are held by EMQQ and INQQ. Carter cited WeChat in China, Eternal (formerly Zomato) in India, and Nubank in Brazil as standout examples of companies leading the digital consumer revolution in their regions. While geopolitical tensions—particularly between the U.S. and China—continue to cast uncertainty over global markets, Carter stressed that most of the companies EMQQ focuses on are domestically driven and insulated from export-related risks. He remains optimistic about a rebound in emerging markets and sees this as a long-term shift: “We believe the next decade belongs to the digital consumer in emerging markets. The growth story is just beginning.” #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #EmergingMarkets #Investing #Technology #GrowthOpportunities #India #China #EMQQGlobal #TechInvestment #DigitalTransformation #GlobalEconomy #InvestmentStrategies #MarketInsights #KevinCarter #FinancialNews #EconomicOutlook #FutureInvesting #MarketTrends #EmergingEconomies #InvestorTips #MarketAnalysis #InvestmentPortfolio #DigitalIndia #TechBoom #MarketWatch #EconomicProspects

Iofina PLC (AIM:IOF, OTC:IOFNF) CEO Dr Tom Becker takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's strong 2024 financial performance and its strategic outlook for 2025. The company reported record revenue, marking the seventh consecutive year of revenue growth. According to Becker, “We just posted our 2024 results. Record revenue of above $54 million… record iodine production… and EBITDA of over $7.6 million.” A significant highlight from 2024 was the 31% year-on-year increase in iodine derivative sales, driven by a targeted marketing effort and expansion in applications such as biocides, pharmaceuticals, and animal health.

Krakatoa Resources Ltd (ASX:KTA) CEO Mark Major talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategy to fast-track its advanced exploration-stage Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia. Major described the project as containing “about 26,000 tonnes of antimony in the ground, at a grade of about 11.6%, and over 800,000oz [of gold] predicted there,” under foreign resource classification. The company plans to convert these foreign estimates to JORC-compliant resources this year, as it prepares a major 7,000–10,000m diamond core drilling campaign. According to Major, the project area already contains “over 27km of exploration adits,” which will also be further investigated. He highlighted that Zopkhito holds a mining license, allowing the company to move from advanced exploration into potential production more efficiently. Krakatoa also intends to begin economic studies early next year. Discussing Georgia as a jurisdiction, Major noted, “The sovereign risk is much, much lower than it used to be,” and said European investors understand the region well, making it an attractive funding and offtake market. In addition to Zopkhito, Krakatoa is progressing its rare earths project at Mount Clare in Australia, supported by a government grant. Watch the full interview to hear how the company is positioning itself to capitalise on strong antimony pricing and future European demand.

BioHarvest Sciences CEO Ilan Sobel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a key advancement in the company's contract development and manufacturing partnership with a Nasdaq-listed pharmaceutical company. The collaboration has now progressed from Stage 1 to Stage 2, marking a critical step forward in validating BioHarvest's Botanical Synthesis platform for the development of pharmaceutical-grade active compounds. Stage 1 of the contract, which began in early 2024, focused on sourcing the appropriate plant species required to biosynthesize a compound used in an already approved pharmaceutical product. Sobel shared that the BioHarvest R&D team successfully completed this stage by isolating cells from the target plant and then replicating, enhancing, and multiplying those cells in laboratory conditions using its proprietary Botanical Synthesis technology. With Stage 1 successfully completed, Stage 2 is now underway and involves producing a sufficient quantity of biomass for pharmaceutical testing. This phase will also include optimizing the conditions for cultivating plant cells in liquid media to ensure consistent quality and yield. If successful, the project would move into scaled-up production—starting with small and medium volumes, followed by potential commercial-scale manufacturing of the compound. Sobel emphasized the significance of this milestone as further validation of BioHarvest's Botanical Synthesis platform, which enables sustainable, controlled, and highly efficient production of complex plant-derived compounds without the need to cultivate full plants. “This advancement underscores our ability to address key challenges in pharmaceutical ingredient production and supports our broader goal of scaling up for commercial manufacturing,” Sobel said. As BioHarvest continues to deliver on its innovation roadmap, the CDMO contract signals a growing interest from the pharma industry in plant cell-based biosynthesis as a scalable alternative to traditional agricultural and chemical manufacturing methods. #proactivinvestors #nasdaq #bhst #pharma #biotech #hearthealth #fattyliverdisease #BioHarvestSciences, #IlanSobel, #RevenueGrowth, #NasdaqListing, #PlantBiotech #DrugDevelopment #CDMO #BioreactorTech #PhytoMedicine #ProactiveInvestors #BiotechUpdate #BotanicalSynthesis

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the initiation of Phase 2 in the company's comprehensive metallurgical test program at its Philadelphia Gold-Silver Project, located in northwestern Arizona. This next stage of testing is a critical step in validating the project's potential for low-cost, heap leach gold recovery. Following the success of Phase 1, which demonstrated gold recoveries ranging from 61% to 73% using column leach tests, Phase 2 aims to optimize and further validate those results. The company has commenced testing on a 415-kilogram bulk sample, incorporating High Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) technology—an advanced technique expected to enhance gold recoveries by improving particle liberation. The Phase 2 program will run for 90 days and consist of four parallel column tests: two columns using conventionally crushed material and two using HPGR-crushed material. Each set will be tested at two different crush sizes to assess the impact of particle size and crushing method on gold extraction efficiency. Stark emphasized that this work builds on encouraging geological and drilling results from the Philadelphia property, where widths and grades of mineralization have already demonstrated potential for a commercially viable heap leach operation—comparable to others in the region. “With continued drilling success and now this critical Phase 2 test work underway, we are focused on de-risking the project and positioning Philadelphia as a strong candidate for a large-scale, low-cost gold production operation,” Stark noted. Arizona Gold and Silver's multi-stage metallurgical program is designed to provide the technical foundation required to move the project toward a potential development decision in the future. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals

North Bay Resources CEO Jarad Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a significant milestone in the company's development of the Fran Gold Project in British Columbia. The company has released a preliminary, non-NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate for the Bullion Alley Zone—an internal figure based on extensive historical drilling and modern 3D modeling. The estimate was generated using Leapfrog Geo + Edge software, a professional-grade 3D modeling tool commonly employed in the mining industry. The analysis incorporated over 18,000 meters of diamond drilling across 104 holes, totaling approximately 50,000 feet of historic data. Lazerson emphasized that while the estimate is not yet compliant with NI 43-101 standards, it provides a transparent and credible basis for strategic conversations with potential investors, joint venture partners, and major mining companies. The internal resource estimate outlines 20 million tons at 0.5 g/t gold in the main Bullion Alley Zone, 43 million tons at an average grade of 0.3 g/t when including the East Zone and an estimated 450,000 ounces of gold across the two zones “These numbers are not certified, but they are meaningful,” Lazerson said. “They give us and the market a clear picture of where we stand and how much value there may be in the ground, especially with current gold prices hovering at historically high levels.” He also pointed to a gap between the main and East zones with no historical drilling, highlighting an exploration opportunity that could further expand the resource base. The company is currently weighing its next steps, including whether to advance toward further drilling, move into preliminary development, or explore financing and M&A opportunities. “This marks a turning point,” Lazerson added. “It's our way of signaling to the market that North Bay is serious about advancing Fran. We believe there's a generational opportunity as global demand for gold and strategic metals increases, and we're positioning ourselves to take advantage of that.” #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #GoldRush #stock #stockmarketnews ResourceEstimate #NorthBayResources #MiningInvestment #JuniorMining #GoldExploration #MiningFinance #MergersAndAcquisitions #GoldPrice #NI43101 #MiningNews #InvestorUpdate

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the strong performance of the firm's War ETF, launched in December 2024. Despite volatile global markets and rising geopolitical tensions, the ETF has demonstrated impressive resilience and has outpaced several other national security-focused investment vehicles. Holmes attributed the ETF's performance to what he described as “smart beta 2.0”—an evolved strategy that focuses on momentum across revenue growth, earnings strength, and free cash flow. Key holdings like Qualcomm and General Dynamics have been standout contributors, supported by global shifts in military priorities and spending patterns. “The strategy is built to identify companies benefitting from real economic trends—not just narratives,” Holmes explained. He emphasized that recent geopolitical developments have served as a strong tailwind for the defense sector. In particular, increased military budgets across Europe—often spurred by U.S. diplomatic pressure—have led to a wave of new defense contracts and infrastructure upgrades. The ETF's performance is also being driven by a sharp rise in global defense spending, fueled by conflicts and tensions in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent, as well as increasing cybersecurity threats from China. Holmes noted that the United States alone is expected to spend close to $3 trillion annually on national defense and related technologies—surpassing previous records. Importantly, Holmes highlighted that the ETF doesn't only focus on traditional defense contractors. It also includes exposure to high-performance data centers and AI infrastructure, recognizing the critical role of artificial intelligence, secure connectivity, and big data in modern warfare and defense operations. This diversified approach also captures crossover benefits from sectors like healthcare, technology, and cybersecurity. He also pointed to growing investments in Canada and Europe in AI-related infrastructure and 5G mobile networks, positioning the ETF to benefit from parallel technological developments outside of direct military applications. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #trip #travel #colombia #WARETF #DefenceSpending #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #Aerospace #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AIInvesting #GeopoliticalTensions #MilitaryETF #SmartBeta #Cybersecurity #NATOspending #NYSE #ProactiveInvestors

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive about the latest drill results from the Mbe Gold Project in Cameroon, which he described as the company's best since his appointment. The ongoing maiden drilling program has returned 125 gold intersections from just eight holes, translating to an intersection every 21 metres drilled. Rosser emphasised the scale and quality of the results, highlighting that “Mbe eight came back with over 85 metres, I think 86.5 to be precise,” including a particularly strong section of 39.4 metres at two grams per tonne. He added that these intersections start close to surface, supporting the potential for open-pit mining. To date, over 60% of the drilling program has been completed, but only one-third of the results have been reported, suggesting more updates to come. Rosser confirmed that 16 more holes remain to be reported, with the JORC exploration target expected in Q3, followed by a maiden mineral resource estimate in Q4. In addition to ongoing analysis at Mbe South, Rosser mentioned plans to launch the first drilling program at Mbe North, indicating further upside potential.

Genflow Biosciences PLC (LSE:GENF, OTCQB:GENFF) CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest milestone—a successful £0.5 million fundraising to support a gene therapy trial in ageing dogs using SIRT6. Dr Leire explained that the funding was secured via a share subscription from a US-based longevity fund, with shares issued at market price and without a discount—what he described as a clear “vote of confidence in the company and its therapies.” Dr Leire explained that the funding was secured via a share subscription from a US-based longevity fund, with shares issued at market price and without a discount—what he described as a clear “vote of confidence in the company and its therapies.” The trial aims to demonstrate proof of concept in dogs, replicating promising results previously seen in mice. “It worked like magic in mice. We reasonably think that it will work likewise in dogs,” Leire stated. Unlike mice, however, dogs share environmental conditions with humans, making them a more relevant model for translation into human therapies. Leire also highlighted the commercial potential of targeting animal health, as it offers a shorter regulatory pathway compared to human applications. He confirmed that the trial has reached a key milestone: the randomisation of 24 senior dogs, aged over ten years, into four arms, including one control group and three treatment groups using different SIRT6 delivery methods. He also addressed ethical considerations, stating that the therapy does not involve genetic modification, and described the use of non-integrating gene therapy approaches, including naked DNA and AAV vectors.

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC chief executive Mark Learmonth talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong first-quarter performance, driven by a rise in both gold production and gold prices. Learmonth highlighted that Caledonia sold approximately 19,000 ounces of gold in the quarter, up from 17,500 ounces in Q1 2024, and achieved a gold price of just under $2,900 per ounce. This led to gross profit nearly doubling from $14 million to $27 million, and earnings per share increasing from $0.07 to $0.45. The company is investing $41 million in capital expenditure this year, with $34 million allocated to sustaining operations at the Blanket mine. Projects include a new tailings facility, underground development to improve flexibility, and engineering upgrades for efficiency, such as converting the main winder to lower power consumption. Learmonth stated, “To some extent, we're using the higher gold price to invest for the extended life of mine and to build in more and more efficiency and robustness.” On safety, changes in senior personnel have led to visible management presence underground and proactive incident prevention strategies. Updates were also provided on Bilboes and Motapa, where Caledonia is revisiting feasibility approaches, continuing exploration, and exploring small-scale, high-return opportunities.

American Rare Earths CEO Chris Gibbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce new assay results from the company's ongoing mapping and channel sampling program at the Cowboy State Mine area of the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming. The results further confirm the project's potential to become a major U.S.-based source of critical minerals. Gibbs shared that a total of 106 channel samples were collected across the Red Mountain area, a key target within the Halleck Creek project. Assay results revealed elevated levels of rare earth mineralization, with one standout sample grading 1.37% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO). Across the Red Mountain Pluton — the rare earth-bearing lithology — TREO grades ranged from 711 parts per million (ppm) to 13,651 ppm, with an average of 3,661 ppm. Notably, the company reported that magnet rare earth oxides, which are essential for high-performance magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines, account for approximately 28% of the total rare earth content. Heavy rare earth oxides, which are typically rarer and more valuable, represent about 13%. Fifteen of the collected samples exceeded 4,500 ppm TREO, further underscoring the presence of elevated-grade zones within the Red Mountain system. The company is currently incorporating the new channel sampling data into an updated geological model and mineral resource estimate for the CSM area. These updates will inform the ongoing mine planning process and play a key role in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study, which remains on track for completion in late 2025. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc #AmericanRareEarths #HalleckCreek #CowboyStateMine #CriticalMinerals #Neodymium #Praseodymium #Yttrium #Dysprosium #MiningUpdate #PFS #ChannelSampling #ProactiveInvestors

Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight the company's latest achievements in scaling its Bitcoin mining operations. The update comes on the heels of Hive's successful acquisition of Bitfarms' Yguazú assets in Paraguay and the energization of the site's initial 100 MW phase.

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce two key developments as it continues to advance its uranium exploration efforts in Canada's Athabasca Basin. The company has signed a definitive property option agreement with Vital Battery Metals Inc., granting Vital the right to earn a 75% interest in the 12,265-hectare Corvo Project in the eastern Athabasca Basin. The project includes over 29 kilometres of exploration strike length across three northeast-southwest magnetic low trends, coincident with electromagnetic (EM) conductors and structural fault zones — key geological features for uranium targeting. Historic drill holes TL-79-3 and TL-79-5 returned uranium intercepts of 0.057% U₃O₈ over 3.5 metres and 0.065% U₃O₈ over 0.1 metres, respectively. Additionally, the Manhattan Showing on the property reported surface values of 59,800 ppm uranium. A recent high-resolution geophysical survey has enhanced target resolution, providing a solid foundation for future drilling. Standard Uranium has also completed a detailed ground gravity survey over the Wishbone, McNie, and Armbruster South targets at its 48,443-acre Sun Dog Project, located near Uranium City on the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin. The survey, combined with existing geophysical data, has outlined several high-priority drill targets. Drilling at the previously untested Wishbone target during the 2024 program returned anomalous uranium from all eight drill holes. Further gravity anomalies and favorable structures at McNie, Armbruster South, and Spring Dome offer additional kilometres of untested potential for high-grade, basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Standard Uranium's exploration strategy continues to focus on advancing de-risked, high-impact drill targets across a growing portfolio of highly prospective projects in the world's premier uranium district. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #sundogproject #StandardUranium #BatteryMetals #AthabascaBasin #CorvoProject #SunDogProject #JuniorMining #MiningNews #CriticalMinerals #ProactiveInvestors

Tiziana Life Sciences CEO Ivor Elrifi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced promising PET scan results from a patient with moderate Alzheimer's disease treated for three months with intranasal foralumab under an expanded access program. The scan revealed a significant reduction in microglial activation, a key marker of neuroinflammation linked to Alzheimer's progression. This outcome represents a major milestone for the company's intranasal foralumab program. With no approved therapies for moderate Alzheimer's disease, Tiziana sees foralumab—a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody—as a potential treatment option, both as a monotherapy and in combination with amyloid-targeting therapies. Foralumab has shown the ability to induce regulatory T cells (Tregs) that migrate to the brain and suppress neuroinflammation. These effects have been validated in preclinical models and in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, supporting further clinical development in neurodegenerative conditions. The company is set to begin a Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial in June 2025 involving mild Alzheimer's patients. Data from this trial are expected by the end of 2025. The aim is to determine if reducing neuroinflammation translates into improved quality of life. #proactiveinvestors #tizianalifescienceslts #nasdaq #tlsa #newceo #ivorelrifi #Foralumab #AlzheimersResearch #Neuroinflammation #BiotechNews #PETscan #ClinicalTrials #AlzheimersTreatment #PharmaUpdates #HealthcareInnovation

Equinox Gold Vice President of Investor Relations Rhylin Bailie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insight into the company's recent strategic moves, including its transformative merger with Calibre Mining and continued development of key mining operations across the Americas. Founded in late 2017, Equinox Gold was built on a bold vision: to become a one million-ounce-per-year gold producer. Bailie remarked that the timing was fortuitous, as the company's growth strategy coincided with a strong upswing in gold prices. Today, Equinox operates six active mines located in Canada, the United States, Brazil, and Mexico, steadily progressing toward its ambitious production goal. A major step toward achieving that target is the newly announced merger with Calibre Mining, a transaction Bailie described as “a significant milestone” in Equinox's evolution. The deal brings together two world-class gold projects: Equinox's Greenstone mine in Ontario and Calibre's Valentine mine in Newfoundland. Both assets are characterized by long mine lives, low operating costs, and substantial production potential. Once the merger is finalized—expected by the end of Q2 2025—the combined entity will become the second-largest gold producer based in Canada. The Greenstone and Valentine mines alone are projected to contribute nearly 600,000 ounces of annual production, putting Equinox much closer to its long-term output target. Bailie noted that both mines are expected to be fully operational by early 2026. In the meantime, Equinox is focusing on scaling up operations, controlling costs, and maximizing cash flow, capitalizing on sustained strength in gold prices. With a strong asset base, robust market conditions, and a strategic merger underway, Equinox Gold is positioning itself as a leading force in the North American gold mining sector. #proactiveinvestors #equinoxgoldcorp #tsx #eqx #nyseamerican #eqx #CalibreMining #GoldStocks #GoldMining #GreenstoneMine #ValentineMine #MiningMerger #GoldInvesting #CanadaMining #ProactiveInvestors

Immunic Inc chief medical officer Dr Andreas Muehler talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about new developments in celiac disease research during Celiac Disease Awareness Month. He emphasized the seriousness of the autoimmune condition, noting it is often misdiagnosed due to vague symptoms. “Celiac disease is a really important disease with significant consequences for patients,” Muehler said, citing malnutrition, infertility, and even malignancy risks as complications. The emotional and social toll of the condition, he added, is also substantial, with many patients facing isolation due to dietary restrictions. Muehler discussed Immunic's investigational drug IMU-856, which targets the SIRT-6 protein to regenerate intestinal lining and strengthen gut barrier function. Early results from a Phase 1b trial involving 43 patients indicated improvements across multiple measures: bowel histology, disease symptoms, biomarkers, and micronutrient absorption. At the recent DDW conference, Immunic presented data showing IMU-856's efficacy even in patients with severe intestinal damage. Additionally, the drug's absorption was not hindered by pre-existing gut damage, an encouraging sign for future use. Muehler also noted the drug's impact on GLP-1 hormone levels, aligning with emerging gastrointestinal treatment trends.

Sona Nanotech CEO David Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a groundbreaking Research Agreement with BioVaxys Technology Corp. aimed at developing a novel class of cancer therapeutics. The collaboration unites two innovative technologies: BioVaxys' Immune Educating Platform (DPX) and Sona's Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy (THT), powered by proprietary gold nanorod technology. Sona's THT is an advanced photothermal cancer therapy that uses near-infrared light to generate localized heat within solid tumors. This thermal energy is delivered through Sona's biocompatible gold nanorods, which not only destroy tumor cells but also stimulate a strong immune response—a crucial factor in combating cancer recurrence. The research will explore how BioVaxys' DPX platform, known for priming the innate immune system, can further enhance this immune response when used in tandem with THT. “The potential synergy between these two technologies could significantly accelerate the immune system's ability to recognize and attack tumors,” said Regan. One area of focus is the use of DPX to deliver tumor-specific neoantigens—unique proteins that emerge after cancer cell mutations and are absent from healthy tissues. Since THT can induce these mutations and neoantigen expression, pairing it with DPX could dramatically improve immune system targeting and treatment efficacy. Essentially, THT triggers changes in tumor cells, and DPX packages those changes for the immune system to attack. The research initiative is supported by the Giacomantonio Immuno-Oncology Research Group, which will fund the preclinical studies. Both companies will contribute their core technologies to the collaboration. Any new therapeutic candidate developed will be jointly owned and prosecuted by BioVaxys and Sona, with a commercialization agreement planned ahead of a potential Phase 1 clinical trial. #proactiveinvestors #sonananotechinc #cse #sona #otcqb #snanf #CancerResearch #MelanomaTreatment #BioVaxys #DPXTechnology #ClinicalTrials #TargetedTherapy #GoldNanorods #OncologyInnovation #ProactiveInvestors

FireFly Metals Ltd managing director Steve Parsons talked with Proactive about the company's ongoing drilling success at the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada. FireFly has reported strong extensional drilling results that intersect mineralisation more than 200 metres beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate. The Green Bay Project currently hosts a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 24.4 million tonnes at 1.9% copper equivalent (CuEq), with an additional 34.5 million tonnes at 2.0% CuEq classified as Inferred. Drilling is targeting growth through multiple fronts, including a 35,000-metre resource extension program and a further 35,000 metres for infill drilling to convert Inferred resources. Significant new intercepts include 25.8 metres at 5.1% CuEq and 12.4 metres at 6.8% CuEq. Drilling from the 805 Level continues to deliver high-grade hits across both VMS and Footwall Zone (FWZ) styles of mineralisation. Underground drilling continues with five rigs active, and a sixth underground rig is arriving in late May. A Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) anomaly over 700 metres beyond current drill extents is also being tested, presenting further exploration potential. “We are about to add a seventh rig because we have so many opportunities to pursue,” Parsons said. “There are very few projects which could justify such an aggressive drilling campaign.” Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos, and don't forget to give the video a like, subscribe to the channel, and enable notifications for future content. #FireFlyMetals #CopperExploration #GoldMining #GreenBayProject #NewfoundlandMining #DrillingResults #MineralResource #MingMine #MiningUpdates #ResourceExpansion #VMS #ExplorationNews #JuniorMining

Bitwise Asset Management European head Bradley Duke talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the resurgence of Bitcoin to the $100,000 mark and the forces driving its momentum. Duke described the current environment as a "really bullish moment for Bitcoin", noting that the price has recovered steadily from recent lows of around $75,000. He attributed the surge to macroeconomic forces, particularly rising inflation expectations and growing scepticism toward the US dollar, describing the situation as part of a broader trend of “de-dollarisation”. He explained that aggressive US tariff policies are fuelling inflation expectations globally, pushing investors to consider alternative assets. Duke said, “We've seen that there's a correlation to an increase in the price of Bitcoin if there's a high expectation of inflation.” Duke also pointed to expanding corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a significant new development. He revealed that listed corporations had acquired over 101,000 bitcoins so far in 2025 — more than double the total new supply of Bitcoin this year. He noted that even US states have started to hold Bitcoin in their treasuries as part of strategic reserves, suggesting the shift from traditional assets to Bitcoin is accelerating.

Alvopetro Energy CEO Corey Ruttan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the company's Q1 2025 earnings and operational highlights, revealing a robust start to the year driven by increased production in Brazil and new contributions from Canadian assets. The company reported a 41% year-over-year increase in first-quarter sales volumes, reflecting continued momentum in its core Brazilian natural gas operations. Field-estimated April sales volumes averaged 2,372 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), including 13.5 million cubic feet per day (MMcfpd) of natural gas and 126 barrels per day (bopd) of condensate. Alvopetro's Murucututu field remains a key driver of its Brazilian gas production, although Q1 volumes were partially impacted by downtime at the 183-A3 well. An intervention was successfully executed to isolate lower intervals and improve productivity. Looking ahead, the company has spud the 183-D4 well targeting the Caruaçu Formation, approximately 110 metres structurally updip of the 183-A3 well. A sidetrack operation is currently underway on the lower 680 metres of this new well. In parallel, the company has made notable progress in Canada. Two newly drilled wells with a 50% working interest came online in April, contributing approximately 90 bopd net to Alvopetro after initial clean-up. These additions bring the company's total estimated April sales to 2,462 boepd. While this represents a 5% decrease compared to March, it marks a 1% increase over the Q1 average, indicating continued underlying strength. Ruttan also noted a positive development in pricing. As of May 1, Alvopetro's natural gas price under its long-term agreement with Bahiagás has been adjusted to BRL2.08 per cubic metre, up 7% from the February price of BRL1.95/m³. This adjustment further strengthens the company's revenue outlook for the remainder of the year. #proactiveinvestors #alvopetroenergyltd #tsxv #alv #otcqx #alvof #OilAndGas #BrazilNaturalGas #EnergyProduction #CEOInterview #Q32024 #ProactiveInvestors #CoreyRuttan #NaturalGas #BrazilEnergy #OilAndGas #EnergySector #ReservesUpdate #GasSales #ProactiveInvestors #2025Outlook

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a seismic shift in the financial treatment of gold ahead of new Basel III regulations set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Under the updated rules, physical gold will be recognized as a Tier 1 High-Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) — the same category as cash and government bonds — fundamentally changing how banks and institutions view and utilize gold. “This reclassification legitimizes gold as cash or better than cash,” Holmes stated, emphasizing that the change could eliminate existing regulatory disincentives and fuel substantial new institutional demand. By elevating physical gold's liquidity status, Basel III could incentivize banks, particularly in Europe and Canada, to hold more gold as part of their reserve requirements. Holmes also highlighted broader macroeconomic tailwinds, including surging M2 money supply growth in China and India — historically strong precursors to rising gold prices — as well as escalating global de-dollarization efforts and central bank gold accumulation. He cited monetary policies across countries representing over 40% of the global population as further catalysts. Reflecting these trends, Holmes revised his long-term gold forecast upward, now projecting USD 6,000 per ounce by the end of a potential second Trump presidency, pointing to favorable policy conditions and accelerating monetary expansion. With Basel III implementation looming, Holmes believes this could mark a historic turning point in gold's role within the global financial system. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #trip #travel #colombia #WARETF #DefenceSpending #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #Aerospace #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the newly-released maiden resource estimate for its Sagebrush Project in Colorado. The announcement marks a key milestone for the company, confirming the presence of helium—a component long suspected but only recently verified through data room analysis. “The helium confirmation that we found in the data room not long ago is… the missing link,” Carroll said, explaining that this evidence allows Mosman to quantify contingent resources at the Sagebrush structure using seismic data. These results not only support a near-term development plan but also open the door for extended flow testing of the well and a move toward production. Carroll also highlighted promising potential in the adjacent Coyote Wash lease, where 6 to 8 larger structures have been identified using the same seismic dataset. He noted that this data will allow the company to release further prospective resource estimates soon. Significantly, the Sagebrush site benefits from existing infrastructure, including access roads, a well-maintained production pad, and a mothballed pipeline that may be repurposed to transport helium and associated gases to market. Carroll confirmed that an extended flow test and development plan are expected in the coming months. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Georgina Energy PLC (LSE:GEX) CEO Anthony Hamilton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a significant resource upgrade at the Mt Winter prospect, following extensive reprocessing and interpretation of seismic data. Hamilton said the new data revealed the Heavitree formation could be intersected at a shallower depth than previously expected, reducing the target depth from 3,200m to 2,900m. He explained that the reprocessed seismic improved resolution and led to a 15% increase in the net attributable 2U helium and hydrogen resources, along with a 3% uplift in hydrocarbons. "The new resource 2U or P50 for helium is 127 at 75%. If we go to 100% it'll be 169," Hamilton stated, adding that the full acquisition of the oil company will increase Georgina Energy's legal ownership from 75% to 100%. He also highlighted the identification of a new 60km² structural closure in the permit area, previously undetected by the company or its competent person. This area shows promise for further exploration, especially given historical concentrations of helium and hydrogen in the region. Hamilton confirmed that reentry planning and engineering work are underway, alongside continued negotiations for exploration permits under the Aboriginal Land Rights Access Agreement (ALRA). A revamped, more interactive and investor-friendly website has also just gone live. He also flagged the company's new website, where investors can find additional information: https://www.georginaenergy.com Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more company updates and exclusive interviews.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share encouraging preclinical results presented at the American Association for Cancer Research, highlighting the company's novel therapeutic candidate TNX-1700 for gastric cancer. In the study, a murine fusion protein (mTFF2-MSA) was tested, modeling the human fusion version TFF2-HSA currently under development as TNX-1700. Dr. Lederman explained that combining mTFF2-MSA with anti-PD1 immunotherapy significantly reduced tumor immunosuppression in animal models. Specifically, the therapy decreased immunosuppressive neutrophils and cancer-induced granulopoiesis, while stimulating CD8+ T-cell responses that helped inhibit tumor progression. The study also revealed a negative correlation between TFF2 expression and PMN-MDSC levels in gastric cancer patients, supporting the clinical relevance of TFF2 modulation in immuno-oncology. Tonix plans to continue advancing TNX-1700 as a first-in-class fusion protein therapeutic for hard-to-treat cancers. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #Biotech #TonixPharmaceuticals #TNX1700 #GastricCancer #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #PD1Blockers #AACR2025 #BiotechNews #OncologyInnovation #CancerTreatment

Sidney Resources Corp. is making significant strides at its flagship project in Idaho's historic Warren Mining District, with new metallurgical discoveries expanding the project's scope well beyond gold and silver. Chief Operating Officer Dan Hally joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share recent developments that reinforce the project's strategic and environmental importance. Spanning more than 208 acres of private land and over 4,000 acres of mining claims, the project now includes confirmed deposits of gold, silver, platinum group metals (PGMs), and rare earth elements. Hally revealed that recent technical analysis has uncovered metallurgical complexity attributed to an ancient meteor strike, contributing to the presence of iridium, osmium, platinum, and palladium. “We've now successfully been able to separate the gold, silver, platinum and palladium from these alloyed materials, which is huge,” said Hally. This breakthrough has enabled Sidney Resources to finalize a proprietary six-step extraction process that integrates traditional metallurgical techniques with modern innovations. The company is now preparing to scale up from laboratory testing to commercial production. These new findings elevate the project's strategic relevance to U.S. national security by contributing to the domestic supply of critical minerals needed for advanced technologies, including defense systems, clean energy, and electronics. In parallel with technical advancements, Sidney Resources is prioritizing environmental stewardship and infrastructure development. A new access road, designed to avoid waterways, is under construction and will enable more sustainable site operations. The initiative includes decommissioning legacy routes to reduce silt runoff and protect aquatic ecosystems—a move welcomed by both conservation groups and local tribal communities. Hally emphasized that the project is a rare convergence of resource development, environmental rehabilitation, and national interest. “We're not just mining — we're restoring, protecting, and contributing to critical supply chains,” he said. As Sidney Resources moves closer to commercial processing, the company is poised to become a key player in the supply of high-demand minerals, while serving as a model for environmentally responsible resource development in the American West. #proactiveinvestors #sidneyresourcescorporation #otc #sdrc #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #GoldMining #PlatinumGroupMetals #MiningInnovation #USMining #IdahoMining #EnvironmentalRemediation #CleanMining #ResourceDevelopment

Under his leadership, Lancaster acquired 100% ownership of the Piney Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan and the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia—two highly prospective assets now central to the company's gold exploration strategy. His expertise also extends into the critical minerals and clean energy sectors. Watson was instrumental in advancing Lancaster's uranium assets, including early-stage development at Catley Lake and Centennial East, both situated in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin—recognized as the world's most prolific uranium-producing region. These projects position the company to benefit from surging global interest in nuclear energy and the increasing demand for secure, sustainable uranium supplies. In addition to his exploration experience, Watson has a background in the commercialization of clean energy technologies, including hydrogen and advanced recovery methods for conventional resources. His interdisciplinary knowledge positions him well to guide Lancaster's transition into a diversified resource developer with a focus on both traditional and emerging energy materials. With Watson at the helm, Lancaster Resources is entering a new phase of development, focused on unlocking value from its growing asset base and responding to global demand for minerals essential to energy security and decarbonization. #proactiveinvestors #lancasterresourcesinc #cse #lcr #otc #lanrf #AndrewWatson #LakeCargelligo #CriticalMinerals #PreciousMetals #LithiumExploration #UraniumProjects #JamesBay #NewMexicoLithium #AthabascaBasin #MiningNews #ExplorationUpdate #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors

Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF) CEO Colin Harrington talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the strong production test results from the State 36 2R in the Paradox Basin, Utah. Harrington said the team was “really, really happy” with how the test played out, confirming high flow rates and robust early production metrics. The well achieved sustained rates between 700 and over 1,000 barrels per day at minimal choke and peaked near 3,000 barrels per day, despite not being fracked. Harrington highlighted, “We weren't seeing any pressure drawdown, so that's a great, great sign.” He added that typical rates in comparable onshore US wells range from 500–750 barrels per day, making Zephyr's results “definitely in the highest quartile.” Additional positives included elevated liquid yields, minimal produced water, and a second successful use of its acid design completion method. Harrington also noted the installation of a Halliburton-designed fibre optic cable, which enabled precise data collection across the entire 5,000-foot lateral. The company will now focus on fluid analysis and updating its CPR through a third-party engineering firm. It also plans to engage a strategic or investment partner to accelerate development.

Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) vice president of Investor Relations Jack Garman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's robust first-quarter performance and the outlook for its organic growth pipeline. Garman highlighted that Endeavour Mining delivered approximately 30% of its full-year gold production guidance in Q1 2025 alone, supported by lower-than-expected sustaining costs. This, alongside a buoyant gold price, allowed the company to generate record free cash flow of $409 million, equivalent to around $1,200 per ounce. He confirmed that Endeavour Mining is prioritising free cash flow generation, particularly after completing its recent growth phase. “Our view fundamentally, is (that) the best way to maximise free cash flow generation is by keeping our costs down,” Garman noted. The company also reduced net debt by $354 million in the quarter, bringing leverage down to 0.22x net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Shareholder returns have increased, with $40 million in share buybacks and a $225 million minimum dividend commitment in 2025. Garman provided updates on the Assafou project, calling it a “tier one project” with a defined 4.5 million ounce resource and a projected annual output of 330,000 ounces at below $900/oz sustaining cost for the first ten years. A definitive feasibility study is expected by early 2026, with construction potentially starting in H2 2026 and first production by H2 2028. He added that Endeavour Mining sees no immediate need for mergers or acquisitions, as its pipeline provides enough visibility to grow production by 35% to over 1.5 million ounces annually by decade's end.

Ananda Pharma Plc (AQSE:ANA, OTCQB:ANANF) co-founder and CEO Melissa Sturgess talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress towards beginning its first clinical trial in Australia for its cannabinoid-based drug candidate. Sturgess confirmed that the drug development stage is now complete, allowing the company to move into trials involving healthy volunteers. The trial will compare the pharmacokinetic profile of with the only CBD drug currently approved by regulators. Sturgess discussed the recent appointments of Giles Moss and Chris Tovey—both former senior executives at GW Pharmaceuticals—as strategic moves to strengthen Ananda's commercial and regulatory capabilities as it enters the clinical phase. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration has acknowledged Ananda's first trial. Sturgess noted that Australia offers both strong tax incentives and compatibility with US FDA requirements, helping the company advance its program cost-effectively while also preparing for potential regulatory pathways in the United States. Each step forward, Sturgess said, brings Ananda closer to dosing its first volunteers in what she described as a critical phase of development. For more updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Challenger Energy Group PLC (AIM:CEG, OTCQB:BSHPF) CEO Eytan Uliel talked with Proactive about the company's operational progress, financial position, and upcoming milestones in Uruguay. Uliel confirmed that Challenger Energy is fully funded through 2025 and beyond, thanks to a significant cash injection from Chevron. “The cash we got from Chevron is more than enough to last us the rest of 2025 all the way through 2026 and beyond,” he stated, underlining the company's strong financial footing. At Uruguay's OFF-1 block, Challenger is working with Chevron to prepare for a 3D seismic campaign planned for late 2025. Uliel highlighted the "daily grind" required to support this effort, including technical and regulatory preparations and public consultations in Uruguay. He noted that initial seismic results could emerge in early to mid-2026, with a key decision on potential drilling expected by the end of that year. Uliel also provided updates on OFF-3, where reprocessing of existing 3D seismic data is nearing completion. This will soon feed into interpretation and mapping work. He indicated plans to launch a formal farm-out process in the second half of 2025, modelled after the successful Chevron farm-out on OFF-1. Regarding the company's Trinidad asset sale, Uliel explained that regulatory delays due to a recent government change have led to a 60-day extension. However, both buyer and seller remain committed to completing the transaction. Uliel also touched on recent US investor interest following the company's acceptance to the OTC market in the US. He said North American institutions like Morgan Stanley have taken significant positions, and he described growing interest from oil and gas investors who understand the frontier exploration space.

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) CEO Dr Daniel Vitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest results from the company's Phase 2 CALLIPER trial evaluating vidofludimus calcium in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The study aimed to assess the neuroprotective effects of the drug, specifically its impact on disability progression. Vitt said the top-line data showed a 20% overall reduction in disability progression, with an even greater 30% reduction in patients with primary progressive MS. He described this as a strong outcome, noting, “That's amazing. I think nothing you usually expect.” He said the data reflects the compound's unique mode of action. MRI analysis also revealed a 20% reduction in thalamic atrophy, a marker strongly associated with long-term disability. Importantly, no new safety concerns were observed, and the drug's tolerability remained consistent across trials involving over 2,500 patients. Looking ahead, Immunic plans to engage with regulators, including the FDA and EMA, to seek breakthrough designation and prepare for a Phase 3 study. The company also highlighted ongoing discussions with potential pharmaceutical partners. For patients with limited options, Vitt noted, “Our drug specifically seems to work in those patients so far (who) could not benefit from current treatments.” Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews.

Itaconix PLC (AIM:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) chief financial officer Laura Denner talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how the company is navigating the shifting landscape of global tariffs and what that means for its detergent polymers business in 2025. Following a company update on the recent US tariffs, Denner explained that multiple tariff rounds—starting with a 10% import tariff on Chinese goods in February and followed by additional measures in March and April—are impacting raw material inputs. "One of our minor raw materials has a pretty significant impact from these tariffs," she noted, while other materials remain exempt. While there have been no direct negative effects so far, Denner said the company anticipates a 5% to 15% rise in production costs by year-end due to tariff-related pressures. However, she highlighted that itaconic acid, their key input, is still priced lower than during the pandemic period, helping maintain manageable cost structures. On the upside, the strengthening euro and a shift of detergent production to the U.S. are providing support to margins. The company is responding by reviewing pricing, pursuing domestic supply chains, and negotiating better logistics terms. Denner concluded: "We are off to a very strong start for 2025" and remain confident in the year's outlook. For more in-depth interviews, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Genflow Biosciences PLC (LSE:GENF, OTCQB:GENFF) CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest strategic moves as it released its 2024 results. Leire highlighted significant progress across Genflow's R&D portfolio, particularly around MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), animal health, and novel ageing-related targets. He confirmed Genflow has received positive feedback from the FDA regarding its plans for a clinical trial in MASH, which will begin directly in patients rather than healthy volunteers. “We will be allowed to start directly with MASH patients,” Leire said, adding this could improve the value impact by demonstrating both safety and potential efficacy. Leire also discussed a major €4 million funding commitment from the Wallonia region to support the development of GF-1002, with additional equity funding secured to progress the pipeline. Importantly, Genflow is also advancing a randomised, comparative dog study with multiple endpoints, aiming for a shorter-term exit strategy via licensing or sale. “This study of dogs is very good proof of concept,” said Leire. He noted it's being run by contract research organisation Syngene. Beyond MASH and the animal health program, Genflow is working on projects in Werner syndrome and sarcopenia. It is also advancing its intellectual property strategy, having moved its patents on MASH and the SIRT6 centenarian gene into the national phase — a step Leire said could raise the company's valuation.

Quimbaya Gold CEO Alexandre Poirier-Boivin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has signed a binding Letter of Intent with Denarius Metals Corp. to create a 50:50 joint venture aimed at formalizing and structuring existing small-scale mining operations within Quimbaya's flagship Tahami Project in Colombia. Located in the Antioquia Department, the Tahami Project spans more than 17,000 hectares across a district-scale vein system exhibiting similarities to the renowned DMSR system. The region has a long history of artisanal mining, and the area remains largely underexplored, presenting significant upside potential. The joint venture initiative complements Quimbaya's broader exploration efforts, including its upcoming 4,000-meter drilling campaign at Tahami South, while also addressing the need for improved access and stronger relationships with local mining communities. Poirier-Boivin emphasized that the partnership with Denarius Metals brings more than just capital—Quimbaya gains access to a highly experienced technical team with a proven track record in formalizing artisanal operations into legally compliant, profitable ventures. Under the terms of the agreement, profits from the joint venture will be shared equally between Quimbaya and Denarius. In addition, Denarius will contribute both technical and financial resources to support the formalization of artisanal miners through Colombia's mining legalization framework. By bringing artisanal operations into the formal economy, the joint venture is expected to increase transparency, improve safety and environmental practices, and foster long-term socio-economic benefits for local stakeholders. This collaboration could also serve as a model for sustainable mineral development in regions with a strong tradition of informal mining. #proactiveinvestors #quimnayagoldinc #cse #qim #otcqb #qimgf #GoldExploration #MiningNews #ColombiaMining #TahamiProject #GoldDrilling #DenariusMetals #JointVenture #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors
