    BioHarvest Sciences CEO Ilan Sobel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone — a strategic Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization agreement with Saffron Tech, an agritech leader pioneering advanced and scalable saffron cultivation. The collaboration is focused on developing and commercializing saffron-derived botanical compounds using BioHarvest's patented Botanical Synthesis™ platform. Under the partnership structure, Saffron Tech will own 75% of any newly developed saffron compositions and their associated IP and commercialization rights, while BioHarvest will retain a 25% stake. Sobel explained that once development is completed, BioHarvest plans to leverage its large-scale production capabilities to manufacture the compound for a new line of saffron-based nutraceutical products, sold directly through its consumer channels. These formulations will aim to harness saffron's well-established functional benefits, including support for cognitive performance, eye health, mood balance, and antioxidant activity. Saffron Tech brings a groundbreaking production model to the partnership. It is the first company to successfully produce multiple cycles of premium-grade saffron year-round, rather than relying on traditional seasonal farming. This innovation is especially impactful given saffron's market dynamics — it is widely known as the world's most expensive spice, commonly priced above $10,000 per kilogram due to high labor intensity and limited global supply, with Iran accounting for more than 80% of current production. Alongside the partnership announcement, Sobel provided a business update, reporting preliminary unaudited Q3 2025 revenue guidance of approximately $9.1 million, aligned with management expectations. Unaudited adjusted EBITDA is projected between ($0.7M) and ($0.4M) for the quarter, while cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 total approximately $11 million, supporting continued operational and commercialization progress. Sobel emphasized that the collaboration with Saffron Tech marks an exciting entry into a new, high-value market segment and further demonstrates BioHarvest's ability to apply its Botanical Synthesis™ technology to multiple natural compounds with strong consumer demand and health-driven applications. #proactivinvestors #nasdaq #bhst #pharma #biotech #hearthealth #BioHarvestSciences, #IlanSobel, #Vinia #SportsNutrition #Resveratrol #InformedSport #AthleteWellness #FunctionalFoods #DailySupplements #BloodFlowSupport #HydrationMarket #PlantBasedInnovation #SaffronTech #SuperSaffron #BotanicalSynthesis #Nutraceuticals

    Trust Stamp President Andrew Gowasack joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company has been selected to join Founders Arena, a premier accelerator program that supports emerging innovators in the rapidly growing WealthTech sector. Gowasack noted this milestone comes as Trust Stamp surpasses its 100th financial institution client, a reflection of increasing demand for advanced identity protection and secure authentication across the wealth management industry. He emphasized that wealth advisors face many of the same evolving fraud risks as banks and insurance providers — particularly because they oversee high-value, high-profile accounts that are attractive to cybercriminals. Recent incidents highlight how sophisticated attacks have become. In February 2024, a global financial firm suffered a $25 million loss after staff were deceived by a deepfake impersonating the company's CFO on a video call. According to JP Morgan Wealth Management, fraud losses exceeded $16.6 billion in 2024, up 33% year-over-year, driven largely by AI-enabled scams and targeted social engineering. As Gowasack explained, Trust Stamp's technology is built specifically to combat these new forms of digital identity manipulation, delivering enterprise-grade security without compromising user privacy. Founders Arena also highlighted a point of pride: this cohort welcomes its first founder from Arlington, Texas, the accelerator's hometown. Gowasack said joining Founders Arena will provide meaningful support for Trust Stamp's continued growth in the WealthTech industry, accelerating the deployment of innovative fraud-prevention solutions at a time when financial institutions are urgently seeking stronger defenses. #proactiveinvestors #truststamp #nasdaq #idai #IdentityTech #DigitalIdentity #Fintech #GhanaID #SouthKoreaStartup #AsiaExpansion #KStartupChallenge #FinancialServices #Biometrics #TechExpansion #ProactiveInvestors #AndrewGowasack

    Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a new strategic collaboration with the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance (GSA) to advance compassionate access to SKINJECT™, the company's investigational doxorubicin-containing dissolvable microneedle array therapy for basal cell carcinoma. The initiative focuses on patients with Gorlin Syndrome—also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome—a rare genetic condition that affects an estimated 1 in 31,000 people worldwide. Individuals diagnosed with the disorder can develop hundreds or even thousands of BCCs throughout their lives, often beginning in childhood. Current treatment approaches frequently involve repeated surgeries and ongoing dermatologic interventions, resulting in significant physical scarring, emotional strain, and financial burden. Dr. Bokhari explained that the partnership with the GSA is designed to jointly pursue an Expanded Access IND Program with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This pathway would enable eligible Gorlin Syndrome patients with multiple, recurrent, or inoperable basal cell carcinomas to obtain supervised treatment with SKINJECT™ outside of traditional clinical trials. In addition to facilitating treatment for those with pressing unmet medical needs, the program will support the collection of real-world safety and tolerability data, which will contribute to future regulatory submissions. It will also enable greater incorporation of patient-centered insights into clinical development and long-term treatment strategies. Medicus Pharma is currently underway with its Phase 2 clinical study, SKNJCT-003, which began enrolling patients in August 2024 across nine U.S. trial sites. The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, triple-arm proof-of-concept trial evaluating SKINJECT™ as a non-invasive therapeutic option for skin-based BCC using proprietary dissolvable D-MNA . Dr. Bokhari emphasized that the collaboration with the GSA reflects Medicus Pharma's mission to bring innovative, patient-friendly cancer treatments to those most in need, while advancing SKINJECT™ toward broader clinical and commercial milestones. #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

    Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a pivotal quarter for the company, highlighted by strong financial performance, expanding profit margins, and the successful integration of its latest acquisition, Eventdex. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Nextech3D.AI reported 20% sequential revenue growth and an impressive gross margin of 88%, marking a substantial 17-point improvement from 71% in the previous period. The company also saw deferred revenue surge by 186% year-over-year, climbing from $203,000 to $521,000, reflecting growing customer commitments and long-term contract value within its AI and event technology ecosystem. Gappelberg highlighted that the acquisition of Eventdex, which closed during the third quarter, represents a major catalyst in Nextech3D.AI's evolution. Eventdex, a well-established provider of event management software, generated approximately $700,000 in revenue in 2024 and brings with it a strong customer base, complementary SaaS offerings, and a recurring revenue model. Together with Nextech's Map D platform, the combined companies now serve more than 550 clients, offering a fully integrated suite of event technology solutions — including registration, ticketing, mobile apps, floor mapping, AI matchmaking, and blockchain ticketing. While total revenue declined 48% year-over-year to $390,755 from $756,476 in 2024, Gappelberg emphasized that this was a strategic and expected transition following the completion of Nextech's Amazon 3D modeling contract in late 2024. The conclusion of that contract allowed the company to pivot toward its higher-margin AI-powered and event-technology businesses, which are now driving sustainable revenue and profitability growth. Looking ahead, Nextech3D.AI plans to continue leveraging AI innovation across its ecosystem to enhance user experiences, drive operational efficiency, and expand cross-selling opportunities between its integrated platforms, positioning the company as a leader at the intersection of AI, 3D modeling, and event technology. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

    Rome Resources CEO says maiden MRE for Bisie North confirms large, multi-metallic system

    Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's maiden mineral resource for its Bisie North project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Barrett said the milestone confirms the existence of a tin-copper mineralisation system across the Kalayi and Mont Agoma prospects. The company has so far drilled only shallow depths — down to around 250 metres — and along approximately 600 metres of strike at each location. However, the results align strongly with those from Alphamin's nearby operation, which Barrett described as a “very close analogue.” Barrett explained that mineralisation at surface starts narrow and lower grade but becomes wider and higher grade at depth, especially nearer the granite source. “We've identified the system and we're going to drill deeper in Mont Agoma main zone… and also deeper in Kalayi,” he said. He also pointed to substantial exploration upside in untested soil geochemistry anomalies and the underexplored Eastern Zone. Looking forward, Barrett said Rome Resources is engaging with potential strategic investors and exploring possible nearby acquisitions. He highlighted that a partnership could allow the company to advance the project without shareholder dilution, noting, “We're always trying to look after the shareholder value.” Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos.

    Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM, OTC:TTIRF) managing director Richard Belcher talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the advancement of the Konkola West copper exploration project, where strategic partner KoBold Metals has committed to Stage 2 of the joint venture. The project, located in a world-class copper terrain adjacent to operating mines, involves challenging deep drilling operations of up to two kilometres. Belcher said, “These are deep, two-kilometre deep drill holes; the cost of this drilling is within the millions of dollars to drill these holes.” He explained that KoBold's continued financial backing, including a commitment to spend up to US$6 million in Stage 2, is a strong endorsement of the licence's potential. Tertiary Minerals retains upside in the project while significantly reducing its financial exposure, with Belcher noting that the JV model “reduces our risk... we don't need to contribute in terms of the cost of this drilling.” The technical results so far have enhanced understanding of the basin's geology and informed future targeting. Belcher highlighted the strategic value of having KoBold take on both the risk and cost associated with such deep exploration, adding that this collaboration allows Tertiary to move forward without diluting resources. In addition to progress at Konkola West, Belcher revealed plans to carry out additional drilling at the Mushima North project before the rainy season, reinforcing the company's commitment to advancing its wider Zambian exploration portfolio.

    Ecora Resources PLC (LSE:ECOR, TSX:ECOR, OTCQX:ECRAF) CEO Marc Bishop Lafleche talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's record third-quarter performance and updated full-year guidance. The update revealed a 112% increase in portfolio contribution compared to Q2 2025, driven largely by base metals royalties. Lafleche highlighted that “mining at Kestrel returned to our royalty area,” contributing to a total portfolio contribution of £9.9 million, a 150% year-on-year increase for the first nine months of 2025. Voisey's Bay emerged as a key contributor, achieving record cobalt entitlement and revenue, prompting Ecora to raise its full-year guidance from 365–390 tonnes to 434–448 tonnes. The company also expects more than 500 tonnes in 2026, supported by cobalt prices climbing from $14 to $24.50 per pound. Ecora also reported strong contributions from its copper assets, including Mantos Blancos and Mimbula, both achieving record results. Development-stage milestones were achieved at Santo Domingo, where a JV with Orion Resource Partners marked a significant de-risking event. Net debt has been reduced by over 30% since the Mimbula acquisition in Q1 2025. Lafleche said, “It really demonstrates the cash generation potential that exists within Ecora.” Looking ahead, the company expects continued volume growth and further de-risking milestones in 2026, with exposure to rising copper, cobalt, and uranium prices.

    Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share encouraging results from preliminary metallurgical test work at the company's high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Early testing has demonstrated consistently strong gold recoveries, reaching as high as 96.79% and averaging 95.09%, reinforcing the project's promising economic potential. Archer explained that three representative samples were collected from the mineralized zone inside the Pinos Cuates underground mine, part of the broader Dos de Mayo low-sulphidation epithermal vein system. These samples — each weighing approximately 25 kg — were submitted to SGS Labs in Durango for a series of scoping-level metallurgical evaluations, including grind calibration, gravity separation, and bottle-roll cyanide leach testing. Initial grind calibration using a ball mill achieved a targeted particle size of 80% passing 53 microns (270 mesh), a benchmark suitable for leach optimization. The subsequent cyanide bottle-roll tests returned excellent gold extraction, with recoveries of 92.81%, 95.68% and 96.79% across the three samples. Silver recovery rates were more variable, ranging between 41.41% and 73.53%, with an average of 54.68%. Archer noted that the lower silver recoveries suggest more complex mineralogy, indicating that extended leach times, finer grinding, and potential adjustments in the processing sequence may be required to unlock greater silver value. Looking forward, Archer said the next phase of metallurgical evaluations will likely combine gravity concentration followed by cyanide leaching of the remaining material, a common flow sheet for high-grade epithermal systems. Optimization studies will also focus on enhancing recoveries for lower-grade material while refining overall processing parameters. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #GoldMining #SilverMining #Metallurgy #ElPotrero #PinnacleSilverGold #MiningProjects #ResourceDevelopment #MiningMexico #MiningNews #GoldRecovery

    Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM) CEO Gary Cottle talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's involvement in the COINGT project — a sovereign-grade infrastructure initiative in Guatemala that's being described as a new Panama Canal on land. Cottle explained that COINGT is a government-backed infrastructure entity offering an alternative trade and freight corridor between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He described it as “a multi-billion dollar deal” and a “marquee” project for Valereum, especially given its potential regional impact. Valereum Markets, domiciled in El Salvador, is supporting the project through tokenised financing. Cottle said this approach opens up access to a new pool of investors, compared to traditional financing dominated by banks and pension funds. “You could argue this is like a risk-free rate because this is sovereign grade,” he noted. He added that tokenisation allows these infrastructure investments to be divided into smaller digital tokens, thereby broadening participation in large-scale, historically exclusive projects. Cottle described the deal as part of a broader shift in Valereum's strategy, calling it a potential “inflection point” for the company as it continues to pursue strategic agreements and expands its tokenisation offerings.

    Quadrise PLC (AIM:QED) CEO Peter Borup talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how the recent delay by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to finalise its net-zero framework is impacting the global shipping industry and the commercial prospects of Quadrise's cleaner fuel alternatives, MSAR and BioMSAR. Borup said the delay has introduced more uncertainty for shipowners and regulators alike but stressed that it also opens space for independent action. “You can actually go pretty far and you can save some money at the same time,” he noted, pointing to immediate solutions including hull paint, rotor sails, and Quadrise's own products that reduce both emissions and costs. He also addressed the impact of lacking a global carbon pricing mechanism until 2027, saying that cleaner fuels like MSAR and BioMSAR still offer a compelling value proposition due to their economic and emissions advantages. Borup highlighted growing opportunities within the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme, with players already selling carbon credits at over €300 per tonne to global buyers such as Microsoft. While the IMO delay may appear as a hurdle, Borup suggested it could also be beneficial, stating, “It could be in our favour,” provided Quadrise can scale adoption quickly.

This strategic move is designed to consolidate operations, improve logistical efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen technical support for current and future projects. Willoughby explained that the relocation will streamline operations for the development of Angel Island, Century Lithium's flagship lithium claystone project. The company's end-to-end extraction process begins by treating Angel Island claystone under optimized conditions with hydrochloric acid, followed by neutralization using sodium hydroxide—both sustainably produced on-site through saltwater electrolysis. The resulting lithium chloride solution is processed via direct lithium extraction (DLE) and refined into high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate for electric vehicle and energy storage applications. By moving the Demonstration Plant, Century Lithium will also gain expanded space for R&D initiatives, including the development of lithium metal and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials. The new location will enable the construction of a larger assay and metallurgical laboratory, enhancing the company's testing and analytical capabilities to support Angel Island's long-term growth. Century Lithium's 20-acre site at Tonopah Airport has long served as a field office for Angel Island, previously used to prepare and process bulk material during the company's three-year pilot plant program at Amargosa Valley. Looking ahead, the Tonopah facility will serve as a hub for research and development, project support, and administrative operations, reinforcing Century Lithium's commitment to advancing a sustainable, U.S.-based lithium supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining

    North Bay Resources CEO Jared Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting assay results from the company's Fran Gold Project in British Columbia, where gold grades ranged from 0.4 to over 2.9 ounces per ton. The assays, conducted by ALS Global in North Vancouver, were derived from four ~5-pound samples collected from alternating supersacks in a 20-ton test shipment. One of the samples exceeded the upper limit of testing and is now undergoing overlimit analysis. In addition, multi-element assays are underway to determine concentrations of copper and silver, with those results pending. Lazerson explained that the samples came from an area featuring a recently discovered massive sulphide surface outcrop, which previously returned 0.5 oz/t gold. This zone lies between Trench B and Trench C, both of which are known for high-grade gold mineralization, and grades appear to increase with depth. The mineralized material is characterized by gold, copper, and silver primarily hosted in chalcopyrite, marcasite, and spherulite/galena. In total, approximately 20 tons of ore were extracted, packed into supersacks, loaded, and shipped to the company's Bishop Gold Mill for further processing and analysis. These results underscore the high-grade potential of the Fran Gold Project and highlight North Bay's continued progress toward unlocking significant gold and base metal value within this emerging mineralized system. #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #GoldRush #stock #stockmarketnews ResourceEstimate #NorthBayResources #MiningInvestment #JuniorMining #GoldExploration #MiningFinance #MergersAndAcquisitions #GoldPrice #NI43101 #MiningNews #InvestorUpdate

    Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the first patient has been dosed in the investigator-initiated FOCUS study at Massachusetts General Hospital. The study is focused on adult patients with arginine-vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D)—a rare endocrine disorder formerly known as central diabetes insipidus—that is now understood to be linked to oxytocin deficiency and adverse mental health outcomes. Dr. Lederman explained that oxytocin, commonly known as the “bonding hormone,” plays a critical role in regulating mood, social behavior, and emotional wellbeing. Emerging evidence suggests that individuals with AVP-D suffer from low oxytocin levels, contributing to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and socioemotional impairment. The FOCUS study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover pilot trial. It will assess Tonix's investigational intranasal potentiated oxytocin formulations—TNX-1900 (24 IU) and TNX-2900 (6 IU)—to determine their impact on mood and social functioning markers in patients with AVP-D. In addition to the single-dose evaluations, the study will include an exploratory two-week treatment phase to assess longer-term effects on mental health and quality-of-life outcomes. Dr. Lederman noted that Tonix is providing study support and that results from this research may inform the broader development of oxytocin replacement therapies for neuropsychiatric and endocrine-related disorders.

    Anteris Technologies CEO Wayne Paterson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a major milestone in the company's development of DurAVR®, its groundbreaking aortic valve replacement technology designed to transform treatment for patients suffering from aortic stenosis — a fatal heart disease for which no pharmacotherapy options exist. Paterson explained that DurAVR® was designed from the ground up following extensive collaboration with leading cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. The result is a biomimetic, balloon-expandable valve engineered to replicate natural valve anatomy and physiology — a radical advancement over traditional bioprosthetic devices. “We developed one that is physiologically and anatomically correct. It gives you pre-disease mean gradients — that's been established across 130 patients now,” Paterson said, underscoring the valve's ability to restore near-normal cardiac function. The company recently secured its first regulatory clearance in Europe, paving the way for broader international approvals in the near term. This clearance allows Anteris to initiate its global PARADIGM pivotal trial, which will evaluate DurAVR® across low-, medium-, and high-risk patient groups. The study will also feature a valve-in-valve registry and target a non-inferiority primary endpoint, aligning with global regulatory pathways for approval. Paterson highlighted that medical device trials carry far less risk than pharmaceutical studies, with Anteris already demonstrating highly consistent patient outcomes. The company has also laid significant groundwork for clinical expansion, including site preparation and an upcoming investigator meeting at the TCT conference in San Francisco. Built on Anteris' proprietary ADAPT® tissue platform, DurAVR® has shown 20–30% clinical superiority in objective performance metrics. Paterson noted that the company has achieved what physicians have long demanded: clinical superiority combined with balloon-expandable delivery. “This milestone moves us closer to our goal of redefining valve replacement therapy,” Paterson said. “DurAVR® represents the future of aortic valve technology — designed by physicians, built for patients, and proven by data.”

    Argentina Lithium CEO Nikolaos Cacos joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the company's first-ever Mineral Resource estimate for its Rincon West lithium brine project located in Salta Province, Argentina—a key step forward in advancing the company's lithium portfolio within the heart of the “Lithium Triangle.” The inaugural resource estimate, completed for the West Block properties—including the Villanoveño II and Rinconcita II mining concessions covering 2,931 hectares—marks a significant milestone for Argentina Lithium. The estimate excludes the Paso de Sico concessions to the north, which add another 3,742.9 hectares of prospective ground at the Rincon Salar, representing future upside for the project. The resource was defined through 14 exploration boreholes totaling 4,823.2 metres of diamond drilling and one production well extending 470 metres. Based on this work, the company reports: Measured and Indicated Resources: 0.15 km³ of brine averaging 296 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 238,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE). Inferred Resources: 0.08 km³ of brine averaging 216 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 64,000 tonnes of LCE. Cacos emphasized that the results demonstrate Rincon West's potential as a scalable, high-quality lithium asset within one of the world's most prolific brine districts. “This maiden resource lays a solid foundation for our next phase of development as we work toward building a sustainable, high-value lithium operation capable of generating long-term returns,” he said. As the company moves ahead with Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) studies and evaluates advanced direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies, exploration teams will also target deeper drilling below the current resource boundary—where geologic data indicates open mineralization at depth and significant room for expansion. With a strong technical foundation and growing land position, Argentina Lithium is positioning Rincon West as a key contributor to Argentina's emerging lithium supply chain, supporting the accelerating global demand for electric vehicle and energy storage materials. #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif

    First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, OTCQX:FRSPF) CEO John Passalacqua talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's newly launched 30,000-metre accelerated drill program and its role in advancing a vertically integrated LFP battery supply chain in Quebec. Passalacqua said the goal is to “define fully the resource” at once to support downstream planning, including a future feasibility study. He confirmed that drilling is fully funded and will run through to April 2026, with a planned break around the winter months to accommodate seasonal conditions. The program involves two drill crews — one from a First Nations group and another from the local region. The CEO said, “We're just out there, you know, nailing it,” as the company looks to move as quickly as possible. Discussing broader integration plans, Passalacqua explained how this drill campaign links to the company's goal of producing phosphate concentrate, iron powder, purified phosphoric acid, and eventually lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material — all from its Bégin-Lamarche property. He also addressed the geopolitical significance of building a domestic supply chain in light of potential disruptions from China, which has threatened to cut off LFP battery exports.

    Amprologix chief scientific officer Mathew Upton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how the company aims to use £740,000 in fresh funding to push forward work on a treatment for drug-resistant infections, including MRSA. Amprologix, a Frontier IP Group, PLC (LSE:FIPP) portfolio company, is developing Epidermicin NI01, a novel antibiotic aimed at treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Upton explained that the recent funding will be used to complete preclinical studies for Epidermicin NI01, ensuring the compound's safety ahead of human clinical trials. “This money is going to be used to advance our lead technology,” said Upton. “We need to run some final assays to prove that the lead molecule Epidermicin is not toxic before we go into human trials.” The urgency to develop new classes of antibiotics remains high, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) repeatedly identifying a shortage of effective antimicrobials in the pipeline. Epidermicin represents a first-in-class solution that works differently from existing treatments, including those to which many bacteria have developed resistance. Upton also highlighted the company's broader strategy, including the use of an AI-driven accelerated evolution engine to expand its pipeline. The goal is to generate additional novel drug candidates targeting WHO-prioritised pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile.

    HANetf Head of Research Tom Bailey talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the reclassification of the Future of European Defence UCITS ETF (ARMY) under Article 8 of the EU SFDR regulation. The ETF is undergoing an index change that will shift its holdings to a screened version of the current index, incorporating more responsibility-focused criteria. Bailey explained that the updated index will consist exclusively of companies based in European NATO member countries, with a zero-tolerance policy on controversial weapons like cluster munitions and anti-personnel mines. This change is intended to enhance the ETF's alignment with Europe's industrial and defence objectives while meeting the regulatory requirements of stricter markets such as Italy and the Netherlands. Currently, no defence-focused ETF exceeds an Article 6 classification. Bailey noted, “Once this index change takes effect and our ETF is reclassified as Article 8, then it'll be the only defense ETF with this Article weight classification.” The move opens the ETF to a broader pool of institutional investors across Europe who are restricted to Article 8 or higher products.

    Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Mbe South project in Cameroon, revealing a significant inferred resource. The company reported almost 900,000 ounces of contained gold, exceeding the upper range of the previously published JORC exploration target. Rosser noted, “The outcome is some 50% greater number of ounces than the median in the earlier exploration target…and is at a higher grade.” The MRE covers a strike length of around 900m, a width of 700m and a depth of 340m, and remains open in all directions. Rosser said the result demonstrates the value proposition of Oriole Resources and the district potential within the wider eastern CLP license area, which spans over 2,000 square kilometres. He also discussed upcoming exploration plans, including further infill and step-out drilling. The undrilled MB01 North target, just 700m northeast of Mbe South, currently has a JORC exploration target range of 370,000 to 605,000 ounces, and the company estimates a combined near-term target of 1.25 million to 1.5 million ounces for the combined Mbe South and North zones. Looking ahead, the company will finalise plans with its earn-in partner, BCM International, to commence the next drilling program. Rosser acknowledged the open pit mining potential, stating that the large widths of mineralisation and geometry supports consideration of such a concept.

    Standard Uranium Ltd (TSX-V:STND, OTCQB:STTDF) vice president of exploration Sean Hillacre talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest assay results from its Corvo Project, where fieldwork confirmed high-grade uranium at surface. Hillacre highlighted that historical findings at the Manhattan showing peaked at 7.2% U₃O₈, but the company has now returned a higher result of 8.1% U₃O₈, exceeding past grades. “We were really happy that we were able to get back there, identify the rocks and the mineralization at surface and sample that and actually get higher results,” Hillacre said. The team also confirmed mineralization across several areas and uncovered previously undocumented radioactive showings, pointing to geological complexity with multiple rock types including pegmatite, sedimentary-hosted, and gneiss-hosted uranium. Hillacre said that structural controls were visible at surface, aligning with their focus on **basement-hosted, structurally controlled high-grade uranium**. Rare earth element concentrations were also noted, adding to the project's significance. Looking ahead, a ground gravity survey is planned for December, followed by drilling in early 2026, which would mark the first drilling on the project since 1980.

    Sona Nanotech Inc (CSE:SONA, OTCQB:SNANF) CEO David Regan talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about first-in-human data for the company's targeted hyperthermia therapy (THT), showing significant tumor response in patients with late-stage melanoma. The early feasibility study involved ten patients who had not responded to standard immunotherapy. Regan said, “We were able to get a response in eight out of ten of them, of which six were complete responses.” Biopsies conducted within two weeks confirmed that the treated tumors no longer contained melanoma cells. THT uses nanoparticles injected into tumors and activated by a near-infrared laser. The laser energy creates heat at 45°C, selectively killing cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The process also stimulates the immune system, which Regan said was a critical component: “We're really helping to fire up the immune system to fight the cancer on its own.” Sona now plans to move into a Canadian clinical trial, pending Health Canada approval. Regan emphasized that these results could extend beyond melanoma, potentially benefiting other solid tumors resistant to immunotherapy. Investors can expect updates on histological data analysis and direction for broader clinical applications. Sona has already submitted an application to Health Canada and hopes to engage with the regulator soon. #SonaNanotech #CancerTreatment #TargetedHyperthermia #Melanoma #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials #Oncology #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTech

Atlantic Lithium acquired the Côte d'Ivoire licenses in 2016, around the same time as the Ewoyaa project, but only received exploration permits in May 2024. Muller said the company has since conducted over 5,000 soil samples and fieldwork across two tenements. “So on both licences, we are seeing significant areas of anomalies,” Muller explained. “On the one licence, we are seeing an area of 6.5km by about 2.5km of lithium occurring in the soils.” He also confirmed assays had identified spodumene mineralisation with conservative lithium content. The strategy is to establish a pipeline of projects to support long-term production. “As we are depleting the reserves at Ewoyaa, we always have reserves that we can replenish,” Muller said. On funding, Muller noted that the Côte d'Ivoire licenses are 100% owned by Atlantic Lithium and that a corporate advisor has been engaged to attract minority interest. This approach is intended to fund exploration non-dilutively. He also discussed developments at Ewoyaa, with renegotiated mining lease terms expected to go before Parliament imminently.
