Proactive - Interviews for investors

Purepoint Uranium Group (PTU) CEO Chris Frostad tells Proactive that the first drill hole at the Q24 zone on its Dorado project returned 7.4 meters of radioactivity at 8,760 counts per second, with peaks reaching 50,000 counts per second. Frostad describes the result as highly significant given it came from the very first hole drilled in that zone. The Q24 zone is separate from both the Nova and Q23 targets within the broader Dorado project, which Purepoint holds in partnership with ISO Energy across approximately 100,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin. Frostad highlights that the radioactivity was found at the unconformity, a classic uranium-bearing setting, and that chalcopyrite was identified beneath it — an indicator of the hydrothermal activity that would have mobilized uranium through the area. Assays from the summer drill program are still pending. Frostad says the company is also processing 3D mobile MT geophysical surveys conducted across the entire project over the summer, and will spend the next one to two months interpreting that data alongside drill results. The company does not plan to return to the site with a drill until January, but Frostad says investors should expect a series of updates before then, covering the interpretation of results, planned targets, and the budget being agreed with partner ISO Energy for next year's program. #PurepointUranium #PTU #uranium #AthabascaBasin #Canada #mining #juniorminers #resourcestocks #commodities #investing

C3 Metals Inc (TSX-V:CCCM, OTC:CUAUF) CEO Dan Symons tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that new gravity and magnetic surveys at the Khaleesi copper project in Peru have identified a major anomaly around two kilometres northeast of the main drill zone. The company has expanded the survey area by more than 65% to 1,500 hectares and plans to drill-test the new target in Q4. Symons said the main Khaleesi mineralised zone extends to 500 metres depth and remains open, while glacial cover means geophysics is key to identifying concealed copper-bearing magnetite skarns. A 3D IP survey is also due to start at the end of September, targeting potential porphyry or intrusive sources at depth. In Jamaica, assays from the Superblock gold project and a Freeport-McMoRan-funded deep drilling programme at Bellas Gate are expected in Q4. Symons said the company expects significant news flow across its three projects into 2027.

Gunnison Copper Corp (TSX:GCU, OTCQB:GCUMF, FRA:3XS0) CEO and President Craig Hallworth tells Proactive's Gunnion that the company will receive an $8 million non-dilutive payment from Nuton in exchange for adding approximately 3 million tons of mineralized material to the Johnson Camp Mine plan. Hallworth said the additional material will be mined and processed using Nuton's sulfide leaching technology within the existing stage two period, which ends in mid-2030, and the proceeds will be directed to the flagship Gunnison Copper project. Hallworth also addressed the decision not to proceed with 48C tax credits, saying the company cannot claim more than one federal benefit on the same asset and is focused on maximising the total value of incentives available for the Johnson Camp construction. He declined to specify which alternative programs are being pursued but directed investors to gunnisoncopper.com for updates. On permitting, Hallworth confirmed that Gunnison Copper has submitted its Mined Land Reclamation Plan amendment to the Arizona State Mine Inspector. The amendment converts the project from the predecessor company's in-situ leaching approach to an open pit, heap leach, and SXEW plant design. He said approval with no lawsuits is expected by the end of this calendar year, consistent with guidance already given. Hallworth discussed the possibility of skipping the pre-feasibility study and going directly to a full feasibility study, noting that strategic partners are consistently advising this path. He cited the project's history as a mine restart, the high proportion of measured and indicated resources, and existing permits and technical data as reasons the accelerated timeline is viable. In the base case, a final investment decision would come at around mid-2030 following a pre-feasibility study to mid-2028 and a feasibility study after that. Hallworth said the accelerated decision has not yet been made but that the permitting timeline is aligned with it if chosen. He described the Gunnison project as potentially supplying between 10 and 15 percent of total US refined copper from ore production.

Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp (TSX-V:KLDC, OTCQB:KLKLF) CEO Stefan Sklepowicz tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company has hit 25.85 grams per tonne gold over three metres in a 150-metre step-out at its Mirado project, calling it a high-grade feeder beneath the historical deposit and a sign of a strong, long-lived orogenic system. Sklepowicz highlighted the Mirado West zone as a standout opportunity, with a geophysical anomaly stretching 6.5 kilometres north and only two holes drilled into it so far. He said there are no edges on the system yet, raising the possibility it could become a large deposit in its own right. The company holds 42,000 hectares in the Kirkland Lake Camp in Ontario, a district with 120 years of mining history. Sklepowicz described the area as near-turnkey for mine development given existing infrastructure and nearby major mining companies. KL South is identified as the most advanced project, with a historical resource of 442,000 ounces that management believes was understated when compiled at the end of the 2013 bull market. With 23 holes currently pending, Sklepowicz said investors should expect continuous news flow over the next three to four months, covering Mirado West step-outs, the northern zone, and regional boundary tests, with an updated mineral resource estimate flagged for 2027.

Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley and Chief Development Officer Erich Krumanocker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's ongoing farm-out process and development activities in Alaska, highlighting strong industry interest and encouraging results from its Kodiak seismic reprocessing program. Since launching its farm-out initiative in March 2026, Pantheon has attracted significant attention from a broad range of potential partners, including major international energy companies, mid-sized operators, independent exploration firms and financial investors. Management reported a high level of engagement throughout the process, with numerous parties evaluating the opportunity. The company currently has ten active participants reviewing data and conducting evaluations through its virtual data room. Pantheon has already received one formal proposal but elected not to proceed, believing continued negotiations with other interested parties could result in a more favorable outcome for shareholders. Easley said the company's recently enhanced seismic data package has now been made available to all participants in the process and is expected to play an important role in supporting both partnership discussions and future development planning. While advancing negotiations, Pantheon remains focused on preserving financial flexibility. The company reduced administrative expenses by 22% compared to the same period in 2025, helping maintain liquidity as it advances strategic priorities. Management also confirmed that Pantheon is not planning to undertake drilling activities independently during the upcoming winter season, preferring to focus resources on securing a farm-out partner and completing key technical studies. The company also provided an update on the proposed Alaska LNG project and associated gas pipeline, which Pantheon views as a significant long-term catalyst. Although political developments have delayed progress, management continues to believe the project will eventually move forward on a timeline that aligns with Pantheon's broader development objectives. A major technical milestone has been the company's comprehensive seismic reprocessing program covering the Kodiak field. Initiated in February 2026, the first phase has now been completed on schedule and within budget. According to Pantheon, the newly processed data delivers significantly improved imaging of the Kodiak basin-floor fan reservoir, providing enhanced visibility into reservoir architecture, continuity and sand distribution. The updated seismic interpretation also identified additional prospective intervals above and below the primary target zone. Krumanocker said the combination of improved seismic imaging and AVO analysis has substantially increased management's confidence in the scale and continuity of the Kodiak resource. Based on the ongoing evaluation, Pantheon currently expects the asset's recoverable resource estimate could increase by at least 25% above the existing 2C resource estimate, while remaining within the previously established 3C resource range. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #OilAndGas #AlaskaEnergy #KodiakField #EnergyStocks #ResourceDevelopment #EnergyTransition #Exploration #Hydrocarbons #EnergyInvestment #LNG #SeismicData #OilExploration #SmallCapStocks #ProactiveInvestors

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the appointment of a recently retired major general as a defence advisor and the market opportunity for the company's Goliath batteries. Purdy highlighted Anderton-Brown's decades of military experience across procurement, logistics and communication systems, saying he is helping Ilika engage with defence manufacturing partners and identify applications where Goliath could be particularly well differentiated. The appointment comes as Ilika builds on positive results announced earlier in the year following battlefield testing of Goliath batteries. Batteries manufactured towards the end of 2025 were provided for testing by an agency advising the UK Ministry of Defence, and Ilika has since been engaging further with the defence industry. The company is now analysing potential markets for its 10Ah Goliath prototype cell while working to productise the technology, with Purdy explaining that selecting applications suited to Goliath's particular characteristics will be key to the commercialisation strategy. On the wider market, Purdy pointed to the growing role of autonomous systems and battery-powered communications and intelligence equipment within defence: "So we're seeing that it is a huge opportunity," he said. "And what's absolutely key for us is that we choose the right beachhead application." The next stage will involve engagement with partners providing battery-powered solutions to the defence sector, which Purdy said is expected to generate news flow in the coming months, with Anderton-Brown's experience central to that push.

Coyote Copper Mines CEO Daniel Weir joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major advancement at the company's wholly owned Copper Springs Project, announcing that Coyote has received full approval for its Phase 1 drilling permits following the successful completion of its Plan of Operations. The approval represents an important milestone for the company as it moves from exploration and target generation into an active drilling phase aimed at unlocking the project's copper potential. Weir explained that regulators have authorized a total of 37 drill locations across the Copper Springs Project. Each location can accommodate multiple drill holes, providing the company with significant flexibility as it evaluates a range of priority targets. Under the permit terms, Coyote has three years to complete all drilling and reclamation activities associated with the approved program. The upcoming Phase 1 drilling campaign will target both near-surface oxide copper mineralization and deeper sulphide copper systems, giving the company an opportunity to test multiple styles of mineralization across the project area. These targets were developed through extensive exploration work that included geological mapping, surface sampling, and several generations of geophysical surveys designed to identify and prioritize prospective zones. To further enhance drill targeting, Coyote is continuing additional fieldwork that includes soil sampling, channel sampling and new geophysical surveys. The company believes the ongoing work will help refine target locations and maximize the effectiveness of the Phase 1 drill campaign. At the same time, management is already planning for the project's next stage of exploration. Weir confirmed that preparations for Phase 2 drilling permits will begin shortly, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing Copper Springs through a systematic and multi-year exploration strategy. In another significant development, Coyote has expanded its land position around the project by staking 111 additional mineral claims, increasing the overall footprint of the Copper Springs Project to approximately 72.36 square kilometres. The company is also progressing a new 2D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey, a key component of its exploration program. Phase 1 of the survey is currently underway and covers approximately 17 line kilometres across survey lines L1 through L7 in the central-eastern portion of the property. The survey is expected to be completed by mid-September. #proactiveinvestors #coyotecoppermines #tsxv #ccmm #CopperSprings #CopperMining #CopperExploration #MiningNews #CriticalMinerals #JuniorMining #DrillProgram #Geophysics #InducedPolarization #MineralExploration #ResourceStocks #CopperStocks #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling

Harena Rare Earths Executive Chairman Ivan Murphy joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major financing milestone for the company's flagship rare earths project in Madagascar, announcing that Harena has secured a US$5 million project funding facility from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). Murphy described the funding as the first step in what could become a broader strategic financing relationship with the DFC and other organizations connected to the U.S. government's critical minerals initiative. He noted that additional funding opportunities may become available as the project progresses through key development milestones and moves closer to commercial production. The funding underscores growing international interest in securing diversified sources of critical minerals outside China, particularly rare earth elements that are essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, advanced electronics and defense applications. Murphy highlighted that Harena's Madagascar asset is considered one of the largest proven ionic clay rare earth deposits outside China. Unlike many traditional hard-rock rare earth projects, ionic clay deposits offer significant operational advantages because they do not require extensive blasting, crushing or complex mineral processing in the early stages of development. As a result, Harena believes it can move from development to production more rapidly and at a potentially lower capital cost than many competing rare earth projects. The company is currently targeting initial production within approximately 20 to 24 months. A key component of the DFC partnership involves co-funding the construction of an onsite pilot plant and laboratory in Madagascar. Murphy explained that these facilities will allow the company to demonstrate, under real operating conditions, the same concentration and extraction processes that have already been successfully validated through independent laboratory testing. The pilot plant is expected to serve as a critical bridge between laboratory-scale validation and full-scale commercial production. Successful operation of the pilot facility would provide important technical data, support future financing discussions and help de-risk the project for potential strategic partners and investors. Looking ahead, Murphy identified completion of the pilot plant and laboratory as the company's most important objectives over the next two quarters. He said these milestones will play a central role in advancing project financing discussions and demonstrating the commercial viability of the deposit. Murphy also noted growing interest from potential offtake partners, which he believes has been strengthened by the project's connection to the U.S. government's critical minerals strategy. As global manufacturers seek secure and diversified rare earth supply chains, Harena is seeing increased inbound inquiries regarding future supply agreements. #harenaraerearths #otcqb #crmnf #lse #hree #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #DFC #USDevelopmentFinance #MadagascarMining #RareEarthMining #EnergyTransition #EVSupplyChain #StrategicMetals #MiningNews #CleanEnergy #ResourceInvesting #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling

HANetf product specialist for the Making Europe Great Again ETF, Harry Halewood, spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how Europe could benefit from AI's growth, with infrastructure, computing capacity and investment potentially creating opportunities beyond the programming and development segment dominated by the US and China. Halewood said that while attention often focuses on major developers like OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek, AI requires significant supporting infrastructure - an area where Europe is already seeing investment in data factories, supercomputers and computing capacity. "There's more to the AI universe than that, and there's lots of supporting infrastructure that's required to keep those big names ticking along," he said. He highlighted the EuroHPC high-performance computing joint venture, noting Europe's compute capacity is set to triple over its lifetime, with planned AI gigafactories set to expand it further. Halewood also pointed to potential secondary benefits from AI adoption, with Europe's strong exposure to finance, pharmaceuticals and broader industry positioning companies to gain from efficiency and process improvements. Current examples include European data centre initiatives and Mistral's plans to expand compute capacity, with demand currently outstripping supply. On financing, Halewood cited EuroHPC's €8.2 billion budget running from 2021 to 2027, as well as InvestAI - a planned €200 billion initiative combining €50 billion of public funding with the aim of encouraging around €150 billion in private investment.

accesso Technology Group PLC (LSE:ACSO, OTC:LOQPF, FRA:LQG) CEO Lee Cowie spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's interim results, the improvement in cash EBITDA, its move towards a connected software ecosystem, and growth opportunities from accesso Intelligence and accessoPay. Cowie explained that while revenue was broadly flat, cash EBITDA rose almost 50%, reflecting cost action taken in January. He said Accesso had been "very judicious on our costs," with those measures now flowing through and driving the improvement. The CEO also discussed accesso's shift from individual products towards a connected software ecosystem, aiming to serve venues more effectively across the customer journey, including the points where money changes hands between guests and venues. Cowie highlighted the potential of accesso Intelligence following the Dexibit acquisition, describing the acquired platform as "AI first" and positioned on top of Accesso's existing ecosystem to add further value for customers. accessoPay represents another opportunity. accesso processes around $5 billion of gross transaction volume through its platforms, with Cowie estimating $1-2 billion of that could be addressable within its existing customer base, at a margin of around 40 to 100 basis points. Looking ahead, Cowie reiterated 2026 guidance, highlighting the importance of October trading around Halloween and around $1 million of milestone payments in Saudi Arabia.

Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM, OTC:TTIRF, FRA:TMU) managing director Richard Belcher spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest drilling results, including what he described as its best intersection yet: 121 metres at 78 grams per tonne silver equivalent. Belcher said the standout feature was the extent of mineralisation, running from four metres below surface to around 125 metres vertically, with the hole ending in mineralisation and the grade holding consistent throughout. "It's a fantastic result for us," he said. The latest drilling is also giving Tertiary further insight into the potential depth and scale of mineralisation. Belcher explained that several holes have extended beyond the boundary of the existing exploration target, suggesting scope to expand it, with the company also considering whether mineralisation could continue into underlying sulphide zones. He discussed the combination of strong silver grades and higher-grade copper intervals, with ongoing metallurgical test work set to help clarify the significance of the polymetallic mineralisation. Several drill results remain outstanding. Once released, Belcher said the next step is metallurgical test work, feeding into an updated exploration model as the company works towards defining a mineral resource - a milestone Tertiary remains on track to hit by year-end.

First Graphene commercial manager Neil Armstrong talked with Proactive about the company's first production purchase order from Australian manufacturer Pacific Urethanes for PureGRAPH® graphene, which will be used in polyurethane systems targeting fire-retardant applications in the mining industry. Armstrong said the order represents an important first commercial step following around two years of development work by the customer, including extensive testing against the standards required to bring the technology to market. He explained that graphene can contribute to fire-retardant performance by forming a physical barrier that helps protect the underlying material. When combined with traditional non-halogenated fire-retardant additives, Armstrong said PureGRAPH® can help formulations achieve required fire performance at lower additive loadings. That is particularly relevant in mining applications, where polyurethane materials can be exposed to high levels of wear and tear. Armstrong also discussed the wider commercial potential for the technology. He said the mining order provides First Graphene with a commercial-scale case study that could help build confidence in PureGRAPH® and support adoption across additional mining applications.

MicroSalt PLC (AIM:SALT) CEO Rick Guiney spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's low-sodium technology, its milestone of more than 1.5 billion servings, and the growth it expects from relationships with major multinational food companies. Guiney explained that MicroSalt physically reduces the size of salt crystals, increasing surface area so the salt dissolves more effectively on the tongue - letting consumers experience full flavour while using less sodium. The technology can work across different salt types and a wide range of food categories. The company has now surpassed 1.5 billion servings across four continents, spanning snacks, dairy and bakery products, a milestone Guiney said shows MicroSalt has moved well beyond the product-concept stage. Discussing relationships with major food producers, Guiney described them as "the backbone of our whole business model," explaining that working with multinationals provides an opportunity to introduce the technology across multiple brands, products and markets. Guiney also discussed MicroSalt's revenue forecasts of $4.5 million for 2026 and $15 million for 2027, with growth expected as existing customers roll the technology into additional products - the 2027 figure based on commitments already in hand. Looking ahead, Guiney pointed to planned product rollouts and potential announcements over coming months as important catalysts: "The door is about to open."

hVIVO PLC (AIM:HVO) chief executive Yamin 'Mo' Khan spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's results for the first half of 2026, its record order book, full-year guidance and the expansion of its clinical research services. Khan said hVIVO generated around £16.3 million in revenue in H1, alongside an EBITDA loss of £4.5 million, ending the period with £13 million in cash, a performance in line with the company's previous guidance that 2026 would be weighted towards the second half. A key focus was the order book. Three sizeable human challenge trial contracts, including hVIVO's first pivotal Phase 3 trial with ILiAD, took it to £65 million at the end of June, rising to £72 million including CRS Berlin, acquired in Q3. "This is the highest record order book in the company's history," Khan said, noting it was calculated using a stricter, more conservative methodology and provides visibility into the rest of 2026 as well as 2027 and 2028. For the full year, hVIVO expects second-half revenue to almost double versus H1, targeting £47 million and a low single-digit EBITDA loss, with the company expecting to turn EBITDA positive during H2. Khan also discussed hVIVO's evolution beyond its core human challenge trial business into a more integrated CRO offering spanning consulting, laboratory services and non-human challenge Phase 1 and 2 trials, with the acquisitions of CRS Mannheim, Kiel and Berlin adding capacity and therapeutic expertise, including dermatology and women's health.

Honey Badger Silver CEO Chad Williams joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company is taking significant steps toward unlocking value from two of its key northern Canadian assets, advancing plans to restart the historic PC Silver Mine in the Northwest Territories while expanding exploration efforts at its Nanisivik Project on Baffin Island, Nunavut. Williams explained that the PC Silver Mine is a rare asset because it already contains an extensive processing facility that was substantially completed in 1982 but never entered commercial operation. The facility has remained largely intact and well preserved for decades after the project was mothballed when silver prices declined. According to Williams, replacing the existing infrastructure today would likely cost at least $300 million and require several years to construct. As a result, understanding which components of the facility can be efficiently reused is expected to play a critical role in determining both the economics and timeline of a potential restart. Tusk Automation has begun an on-site assessment of the facilities, with fieldwork expected to be completed by the end of September and a final report anticipated by late November. While the study's findings will not be available in time to be incorporated into the company's upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Honey Badger expects the work to provide engineering-level information suitable for inclusion in a future feasibility study. The company's broader objective is to accelerate the restart of the PC Silver Mine by leveraging the substantial infrastructure already in place and capitalizing on the decades of development work previously completed at the site. In addition to advancing the PC project, Honey Badger has completed its 2026 field exploration program at the Nanisivik Project, a historic mining district located on Baffin Island in Nunavut. The program builds on encouraging exploration results generated in 2025 and focuses on two emerging opportunities identified by the company. The first is an extensive massive-pyrite system that management believes may host additional valuable mineralization. The second is the potential for silver, zinc, lead and critical mineral enrichment located outside the historically mined areas. The 2026 campaign was specifically designed to improve the company's understanding of these targets using modern geological and analytical techniques. Field crews collected numerous samples that have been transported under strict chain-of-custody procedures and submitted to an independent accredited laboratory for comprehensive multi-element geochemical analysis. #proactiveinvestors #honeybadgersilver #tsxv #tuf #otcqb #hbeif #pcsilvermine #nanisivikproject #SilverMining #CriticalMinerals #NorthwestTerritories #Nunavut #Nanisivik #PCSilverMine #Mining #MineralExploration #Silver #Germanium #Zinc #Lead #ResourceSector #MiningStocks #CanadianMining #PreciousMetals #Infrastructure #Investing #ProactiveInvestors

1911 Gold Corporation CEO Shaun Heinrichs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new assay results from the company's underground resource expansion drilling program at the True North Gold Project in southeastern Manitoba, highlighting continued success in extending mineralization beyond the current resource estimate. The latest results include eight underground diamond drill holes totaling 2,955 metres, focused on testing the potential connection between the L10 Zone and the larger 710-711 Zone, both of which lie outside the boundaries of the current mineral resource estimate. Heinrichs said the drilling campaign was conducted from Level 16 of the mine and was specifically designed to test extensions of the L10 vein system while confirming its relationship with the 710-711 vein complex at depth. The results further support management's view that the two systems are connected and may form part of a larger mineralized structure with significant resource expansion potential. One of the standout intercepts came from hole UG16-26-072, which returned 10.73 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 8.90 metres, beginning at a downhole depth of 245.30 metres. Within that interval, the company intersected 16.12 g/t gold over 5.40 metres, including a particularly high-grade section of 49.50 g/t gold over 0.80 metres. According to Heinrichs, the results successfully confirmed the continuation of gold mineralization beyond the limits of the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate and demonstrated that the veins linking the L10 Zone to the larger 710-711 system remain well mineralized at depth. The resource expansion program has now completed a total of 20 drill holes spanning 6,563 metres on the L10 target area. Of those, 11 drill holes have successfully confirmed the L10/710-711 Complex Link, providing growing evidence that the mineralized systems may represent a larger and more continuous gold-bearing structure than previously understood. The ongoing exploration campaign is designed not only to expand resources beyond the current estimate but also to evaluate the broader potential of several new discoveries across the True North property. The results from this drilling program are expected to play a key role in the company's upcoming global mineral resource estimate, which is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2026. Heinrichs noted that additional assay results remain pending from both resource expansion drilling and ongoing infill and delineation programs. Those results will be released as they become available and are expected to provide further insight into the scale and continuity of mineralization across the project. #proactiveinvestors #1911goldcorporation #1911gold #tsxv #aumb #otcqx #aumbf #GoldExploration #TrueNorthMine #GoldMining #TrueNorth #TrueNorthProject #GoldExploration #ManitobaMining #MiningStocks #ResourceGrowth #GoldDiscovery #JuniorMining #DrillResults

intana Energy CEO Robert Bose joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's expanding exposure to Angola and the upcoming exploration program at the highly prospective KON-16 block, while also outlining several key catalysts across its broader international portfolio. Bose said Sintana has structured its investment in KON-16 to provide significant upside while maintaining a capital-efficient approach. The company holds a small direct working interest in the block, along with a 2.5% profits interest on the first $50 million of profits generated from the project. Thereafter, Sintana would retain a 1.5% profits interest. According to Bose, the company's strategy has always focused on gaining exposure to potentially transformational discoveries without assuming the full capital burden typically associated with large-scale exploration projects. One of the most compelling aspects of KON-16 is its geological setting within Angola's Kwanza Basin, a region known for its prolific pre-salt petroleum systems. Bose explained that the basin offers a rare combination of offshore-scale resource potential with significantly lower onshore drilling costs. Technical work conducted over the last 18 months has identified several initial prospects believed to contain more than 300 million barrels of recoverable oil. At the same time, individual exploration wells are expected to cost less than $25 million to drill, creating what Bose described as a highly attractive risk-reward proposition. Planning for the first exploration well continues to move forward, with drilling currently expected to begin during the first half of next year. The company and its partners are advancing operational preparations and well design work while simultaneously evaluating opportunities to further strengthen the project through strategic partnerships. Bose noted that interest from potential farm-in partners has been encouraging, with several significant industry participants expressing interest in the project. Bringing in a partner could help reduce capital requirements and further de-risk the planned two-well exploration campaign while maintaining meaningful upside exposure. In Namibia, activity continues on PEL-83, where exploration and appraisal programs remain active as companies seek to build on the country's recent offshore exploration success. Another exploration well in the Orange Basin is expected during the fourth quarter, providing additional near-term news flow and potential value catalysts. The company is also advancing farm-out discussions related to its assets in Uruguay as it seeks to attract partners capable of accelerating exploration activity while preserving capital. In Colombia, Bose said Sintana continues to work toward completing a transaction involving its legacy asset position, a move that could further streamline the company's portfolio and sharpen its focus on high-impact exploration opportunities. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #OilAndGas #Angola #KON16 #KwanzaBasin #EnergyExploration #Namibia #OrangeBasin #PEL83 #OilDiscovery #EnergyStocks #ResourceInvesting #FrontierExploration #EnergySector #OilAndGasInvesting

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the resilience of the global travel industry and why recent volatility in airline and tourism stocks may present a compelling investment opportunity. Holmes noted that while airline shares have faced pressure from geopolitical tensions and rising fuel costs, underlying travel demand remains robust. He pointed to strong passenger traffic and full flights as evidence that consumer appetite for travel continues to outweigh broader market concerns. “The numbers are coming out, Steve, and they're quite dramatically more positive than the negative sentiment,” Holmes said, adding that airlines have largely been able to pass higher fuel costs on to travelers without significantly impacting demand. The discussion focused on the company's TripETF and broader trends across airlines, hotels, cruises, and tourism-related businesses. Holmes highlighted continued strength in international travel demand, particularly between North America, Europe, and Asia, despite ongoing geopolitical disruptions in parts of the world. He also pointed to surging demand for tourism experiences globally, noting that destinations such as Machu Picchu and several major European museums have introduced visitor limits due to overwhelming tourism volumes. According to Holmes, luxury hotels continue to demonstrate strong pricing power, reflecting sustained consumer willingness to spend on premium travel experiences. Holmes added that the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to provide a major tourism and hospitality boost across Canada, United States, and Mexico. The interview also touched on challenges facing Spirit Airlines, including operational issues tied to aging aircraft fleets, rising energy prices, and customer service concerns. However, Holmes maintained that the broader travel sector continues to appear attractive from a valuation standpoint, suggesting that TripETF may represent one of the more undervalued opportunities in the market based on earnings and cash flow metrics. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks TravelIndustry #Airlines #Tourism #TripETF #Investing #Hospitality #TravelStocks #MarketOutloo

BioVie CEO Cuong Do joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss what the company believes is a significant breakthrough in the treatment of long COVID, reporting that its lead drug candidate, Bezisterim, became the first therapy to demonstrate improvements across the three hallmark symptoms of the condition—fatigue, malaise and brain fog—in a well-controlled clinical trial. Do noted that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) RECOVER Initiative has supported eight clinical studies evaluating 13 different interventions for long COVID, yet none have demonstrated meaningful effectiveness to date. Against that backdrop, he said BioVie's results stand out as an important milestone in the search for therapies targeting the complex and often debilitating condition. According to Do, the trial delivered three major insights into long COVID and how it may be treated. First, the study confirmed that long COVID is highly heterogeneous, meaning patients experience symptoms very differently. Only about 15% of participants entered the study with severe levels of all three major symptoms, while roughly 20% were not significantly affected by any of them. Second, the data showed that patients must have a meaningful level of symptom severity at baseline in order to demonstrate measurable improvement. This finding may help guide future trial designs and patient selection strategies. Third, and most importantly, patients with a high symptom burden experienced clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements. Participants suffering from severe fatigue saw improvements in fatigue-related measures, those with pronounced malaise experienced gains in both malaise and cognitive function, and patients with severe brain fog demonstrated measurable improvements in cognitive impairment endpoints. Looking ahead, Do said BioVie expects biomarker data from the study within the next several months. The company hopes those results will provide further insight into the biological mechanisms behind Bezisterim's effects and help validate the therapeutic approach. Following the biomarker analysis, BioVie plans to request an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to discuss the design of a Phase 3 trial. The company is also pursuing grant funding opportunities to help support the next stage of development for its long COVID program. Beyond long COVID, BioVie continues to advance Bezisterim as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease. Do said the company has been working closely with clinical experts to finalize the design of a registrational Phase 3 study and believes it has identified the appropriate endpoints, study size and duration needed to demonstrate the drug's potential to address both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's. He added that Bezisterim could potentially become the first therapy capable of not only improving symptoms but also modifying disease progression. BioVie expects to receive formal FDA feedback on its Phase 3 Parkinson's trial design before the end of the year. proactiveinvestors #biovieince #nasdaq #bivi #Bezisterim #LongCOVID #Healthcare #Biotech #ClinicalTrials #BrainFog #Fatigue #MedicalResearch #ParkinsonsDisease #DrugDevelopment #FDA #Biotechnology #LifeSciences #HealthcareInnovation

Renforth Resources CEO Nicole Brewster joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on ongoing exploration and resource development activities at the company's Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec, highlighting progress on drilling, surface sampling and an internal mineral resource estimate update. Brewster explained that Renforth has completed logging and sampling of drill core from two undercut drill holes completed in August 2026, marking the first drilling conducted on the Parbec Gold Deposit since 2022. The company has also carried out additional stripping and washing programs aimed at better defining previously identified gold-bearing surface channels located within the current open-pit footprint. The work forms part of a broader effort to refine the geological understanding of the deposit and support an updated geological model and resource estimate. Renforth is currently awaiting assay results from several recently completed channel samples, including CHNL-PAR-26-59, CHNL-PAR-26-60, CHNL-PAR-26-61 and CHNL-PAR-26-62, as well as assays from newly collected drill core samples and additional channel extensions and infill sampling. The company expects the results to provide valuable data for its ongoing modelling work. Brewster noted that drill holes PAR-26-149 and PAR-26-150 have now been fully logged by the geological team. During the logging process, geologists observed several encouraging features, including four fine flecks of visible gold within hole PAR-26-149. While visible gold is often considered a positive indicator, Brewster emphasized that such observations are uncommon at Parbec and should not be interpreted as a direct indication of grade due to the nature of gold distribution and assay methodologies. All selected drill core samples have been bagged, tagged and submitted for photon assay analysis, with results expected once laboratory processing is complete. In parallel with exploration activities, Renforth continues to advance an update to the Parbec geological model and mineral resource estimate. The company recently completed a Qualified Person site visit, including witness sampling, to support the ongoing technical review process. While the current resource update is being conducted internally, Brewster said the completion of the QP review and witness sampling provides the necessary groundwork should the company decide to publicly disclose the updated model and resource estimate in the future. Brewster also outlined early-stage process research at Victoria, noting the company has confirmed it can sort material to reduce waste and improve grade, process conventionally using grind and flotation, and is exploring newer technology to produce battery chemistry or precipitate metals directly. She described working with scientists on this approach, framing the project as being built from the ground up. #proacticeinvestors #renforthresources #cse #rfr otc #rfhrf #ParbecGold #GoldExploration #QuebecMining #GoldDeposit #MiningNews #ResourceUpdate #Abitibi #JuniorMining #GoldStocks #MineralResources #Exploration #VisibleGold #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest progress with the company's Goliath battery technology following completion of its PRIMED programme, and why Ilika is focusing on commercial opportunities for its 10Ah cell. Purdy highlighted improved manufacturing repeatability as a particularly important outcome, with Ilika using its automated pilot line to produce a consistent set of cells for evaluation by different partners, something he said matters when engineers assess cells for integration into battery packs. On the decision to optimise the 10Ah format rather than move straight to 50Ah, Purdy said Ilika sees potential applications across consumer appliances including e-bikes, as well as defence: "I think this is a good point to start generating revenue and to identify some beachhead markets." He also discussed independent testing by About:Energy and the importance of third-party validation. Potential customers can access independently verified cell parameters through About:Energy's database and model how the cells would perform in their own duty cycles, a process Purdy said this could shrink from months to just a few days. Looking towards commercialisation, Purdy said Ilika plans to initially deploy its 1.5MWh automated pilot line for small-volume, high-margin manufacturing, with some target beachhead markets requiring volumes the existing pilot line can already service, allowing Ilika to move forward without waiting for automotive-scale manufacturing.

Regan Capital CIO Skyler Weinand joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss his outlook on U.S. monetary policy, interest rates and fixed-income markets, arguing that the Federal Reserve should implement a 50-basis-point rate increase at its upcoming meeting to help stabilize the bond market and bring longer-term yields lower. Weinand noted that long-dated Treasury yields have continued to climb, with the 10-year Treasury yield recently reaching approximately 5% and the 20-year Treasury bond trading near 5.45%. In his view, those elevated rates reflect growing concerns about inflation, government borrowing and future supply pressures in the bond market. According to Weinand, financial markets are currently pricing in only an 80% to 85% probability of any rate increase at all, leaving significant uncertainty around the Federal Reserve's next move. He believes a stronger policy response would help reinforce the Fed's commitment to controlling inflation while easing pressure on longer-term interest rates. A major variable, however, is politics. Weinand pointed out that Federal Reserve governors are appointed by the executive branch, creating the potential for political considerations to influence monetary policy decisions. He suggested that if policymakers prioritize economic data—including inflation and employment trends—the case supports a rate increase of between 25 and 50 basis points. If political considerations dominate, however, the Fed could adopt a more dovish tone or even begin discussing future rate cuts. Turning to investment strategy, Weinand said investors should focus on the shorter end of the yield curve, particularly securities with maturities in the two-to-three-year range. He highlighted government-guaranteed agency bonds and highly rated AAA securities as attractive opportunities, offering yields between 5% and 6% while limiting exposure to interest-rate volatility. He cautioned against extending duration too far out the curve, noting that the spread between two-year and ten-year Treasury yields remains relatively flat at roughly 35 to 40 basis points. In his view, investors are not being adequately compensated for taking on the additional risk associated with longer maturities. Weinand also emphasized that a substantial wave of debt issuance could continue putting upward pressure on longer-term yields. He pointed to record borrowing by the U.S. government, significant capital requirements from AI infrastructure and hyperscale data center projects, and increased borrowing activity from issuers across Asia and Europe. Together, these factors are creating a supply-heavy environment that could weigh on the five-to-ten-year segment of the bond market over the coming six months. Given those dynamics, Weinand believes investors should remain positioned in shorter-duration assets until the yield curve steepens more meaningfully and offers better compensation for longer-term risk. He added that today's fixed-income environment presents opportunities not seen in decades, with government-backed and high-quality fixed-income securities yielding 5% to 6%—levels investors have not enjoyed since before the Global Financial Crisis. #ReganCapital #FederalReserve #InterestRates #BondMarket #FixedIncome #TreasuryYields #Investing #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #MarketOutlook #WealthManagement #AIInfrastructure #FinancialMarkets #ProactiveInvestors #SteveDarling

First Graphene commercial manager Neil Armstrong talked with Proactive about the company's first production purchase order from Australian manufacturer Pacific Urethanes for PureGRAPH® graphene, which will be used in polyurethane systems targeting fire-retardant applications in the mining industry. Armstrong said the order represents an important first commercial step following around two years of development work by the customer, including extensive testing against the standards required to bring the technology to market. He explained that graphene can contribute to fire-retardant performance by forming a physical barrier that helps protect the underlying material. When combined with traditional non-halogenated fire-retardant additives, Armstrong said PureGRAPH® can help formulations achieve required fire performance at lower additive loadings. That is particularly relevant in mining applications, where polyurethane materials can be exposed to high levels of wear and tear. Armstrong also discussed the wider commercial potential for the technology. He said the mining order provides First Graphene with a commercial-scale case study that could help build confidence in PureGRAPH® and support adoption across additional mining applications.

Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive reported encouraging new assay results from its 2026 winter drill program at the Nova Target, part of the 50/50 Dorado Joint Venture with IsoEnergy Ltd., further strengthening the project's potential as a significant uranium discovery in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Frostad shared with Proactive the latest results, highlighting that Hole NV26-05 returned 1.65% U₃O₈ over 0.3 metres from a depth of 390.4 metres at the unconformity. The intercept adds to a growing body of evidence supporting the presence of uranium mineralization along the Nova electromagnetic (EM) conductor. The nine-hole winter drilling campaign successfully intersected uranium mineralization in multiple holes while also providing valuable geological and structural information that will help guide future exploration efforts. According to Frostad, the results have significantly enhanced the company's understanding of the mineralized system and improved its ability to identify and prioritize future drill targets. Purepoint said the program was designed not only to test the geological and structural controls associated with uranium mineralization but also to refine the geometry of the Nova conductor. The drilling generated important data that has allowed geologists to better define the orientation and characteristics of the mineralized zones. Management noted that the additional uranium intercepts, combined with improved geological and geophysical interpretation, are helping to narrow in on the most prospective areas for follow-up drilling. The company believes its growing understanding of the relationship between geologic structures and geophysical responses is leading to increasingly precise drill targeting as exploration advances. The winter campaign marks another important step in evaluating the Nova system, which continues to demonstrate characteristics associated with high-grade Athabasca Basin uranium deposits. The project remains a key focus within the Dorado Joint Venture as Purepoint and IsoEnergy continue to unlock the potential of the property. Frostad also confirmed that the 2026 summer drill program has now been completed. Results from that campaign are currently being compiled and analyzed, with assay results and interpretations expected to be reported in the near future. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #Uranium #IsoEnergy #Uranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #NuclearEnergy #EnergyTransition #Mining #ResourceSector #Exploration #CriticalMinerals #U3O8 #JuniorMining #MiningStocks #CleanEnergy #CanadaMining #Investing #Stocks #ProactiveInvestors #UraniumNews

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a transformative agreement with Pfizer that significantly strengthens the company's position in precision oncology and provides key resources to advance its lead cancer program. Under the development and licensing agreement, Medicus has secured rights to a CD228-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) program, while Pfizer is contributing approximately $2 million in development funding, along with inventory and infrastructure support. Bokhari described the transaction as a major milestone that effectively provides the company with the resources needed to continue development from where Pfizer concluded its Phase 1 dose-escalation work. The CD228-targeted ADC is being developed for the treatment of solid tumors, including refractory melanoma, and now represents the centerpiece of Medicus' evolving oncology strategy. Bokhari said the agreement allows the company to move forward with a capital-efficient approach while leveraging the extensive scientific and clinical groundwork already completed by Pfizer. Beyond oncology, Medicus continues to make progress with its SkinJect program, which is focused on the treatment of basal cell carcinoma and related conditions. Bokhari noted that final clinical trial results recently published on ClinicalTrials.gov identified the 200-microgram patch as the optimal dose for future registrational studies. The company is now concentrating its efforts on advancing SkinJect in patients with Gorlin syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can lead to the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas throughout a patient's lifetime. Medicus is preparing to move forward with the FDA-approved pivotal SkinJect 005 study while simultaneously recruiting patients for the trial. At the same time, Bokhari said the company is positioning the broader nodular basal cell carcinoma opportunity for potential out-licensing, allowing Medicus to focus internal resources on the areas where it sees the strongest risk-adjusted return. To support the commercial potential of SkinJect, Medicus commissioned an independent reimbursement analysis that suggests the treatment could potentially achieve reimbursement levels of $25,000 or more per patient. Bokhari noted that the rare disease and potential pediatric disease characteristics associated with Gorlin syndrome could provide attractive regulatory and commercial advantages. He described SkinJect as “partner-ready” and indicated that the company is actively exploring opportunities to unlock additional value through strategic partnerships. Bokhari characterized the Pfizer agreement as a paradigm shift for Medicus, transforming the company into a precision oncology-focused biotechnology business while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation. He compared the strategy to a Berkshire Hathaway-style model for drug development, where resources are selectively deployed into programs with the highest potential returns. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #SkinJect #Pfizer #PrecisionOncology #Biotech #CancerResearch #ADC #Melanoma #DrugDevelopment #ClinicalTrials #SkinJect #GorlinSyndrome #Biotechnology #HealthcareInnovation #Oncology #LifeSciences

Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's participation in a week-long U.S. Army demonstration designed to evaluate advanced autonomous maritime technologies operating in some of the most challenging nearshore environments. The demonstration is being conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory at its Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina. Following a competitive technical evaluation process, OPT was selected to showcase its WAM-V® autonomous maritime drone platform in live coastal conditions that include surf zones, breaking waves, strong currents and coastal inlets. The program is focused on identifying technologies capable of sustaining uncrewed surface vehicle operations in environments that are traditionally difficult and potentially hazardous for manned vessels. During the trials, ERDC is evaluating platforms and sensing technologies that can support critical missions such as bathymetric mapping and submerged-hazard detection. These capabilities have important applications for both military and civilian operations. Potential uses include U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil infrastructure projects as well as military logistics-over-the-shore missions, where accurate information about water depths, underwater obstacles and shoreline conditions is essential for safe navigation and operational planning. OPT's WAM-V platform is specifically engineered for harsh marine environments. Its unique articulating suspension system helps improve stability while reducing structural stress when operating in waves and rough water conditions. The vessel's modular design also allows it to carry a variety of sensing and data-collection payloads, making it suitable for defense, scientific research, environmental monitoring and civil engineering applications. While participation in the demonstration does not constitute a procurement contract or guarantee future business, ERDC has indicated that technologies demonstrating strong performance could be considered for additional testing and evaluation programs, subject to future funding availability. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann #PowerBuoy #WAMV #MaritimeTech #MaritimeTechnology #DefenseTech #ArtificialIntelligence #AutonomousSystems #USCoastGuard #OceanInnovation #Defense #CleanTech

Itaconix CEO John Shaw joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong first-half performance, highlighted by breakeven adjusted EBITDA, a stronger cash position, and continued revenue growth as demand for its sustainable polymer technologies expands across key markets. Shaw said the company's progress can be measured by three critical metrics moving in the right direction simultaneously: revenue growth, profitability, and cash generation. Achieving breakeven adjusted EBITDA marks an important milestone for Itaconix as it continues to scale its business while maintaining financial discipline. A major driver of growth remains the company's TSI polymer technology, which is increasingly being adopted by manufacturers of automatic dishwasher detergents across Europe and North America. Shaw noted that the addressable market remains enormous, estimating there are approximately 70 billion automatic dishwasher cycles annually across Europe and the broader EMEA region. Despite this opportunity, Itaconix products currently participate in less than 4% of that market, leaving substantial room for expansion. To accelerate adoption, the company continues to promote its SPARX formulated solutions and consumer-focused initiatives which helps customers reformulate products using more sustainable, plant-based ingredients while maintaining performance. Looking ahead, Shaw reiterated the company's goal of reaching US$30 million in annual revenue. He explained that much of the momentum needed to achieve that target is already embedded within the existing customer base, which generated the majority of first-half growth. To reach the next level, Itaconix is targeting additional large contract manufacturing partnerships across EMEA while continuing to add purpose-driven consumer brands throughout North America. Beyond detergents, Shaw outlined a much broader growth vision for the company. He said Itaconix is working with a major participant in the global paint industry to develop plant-based alternatives for specialty paint applications, targeting a segment of the approximately US$40 billion acrylic paint market. The company is also expanding into agricultural applications. Shaw revealed that Itaconix technologies are currently being evaluated in field trials covering more than 100 acres of corn and soybean crops across multiple U.S. states. Results from those trials are expected later this year or early next year. If successful, the next phase could involve testing across more than 10,000 acres, opening another potentially significant growth market. With growing adoption in detergents, emerging opportunities in paints and agriculture, and improving financial performance, Itaconix believes it is building a diversified platform capable of supporting its longer-term ambition of becoming a US$100 million revenue company. #proactiveinvestors #itaconixplc #aim #itx #otcqb #itxxf #GreenChemistry #SustainableMaterials #CleanTech #DishwasherDetergent #IndustrialInnovation #AgricultureTechnology #SpecialtyChemicals #SmallCapStocks #ResourceInvesting

Titan Minerals CEO Melanie Leighton talked with Proactive about the latest drilling results from the company's Dynasty Gold Project in southern Ecuador, where extensional and infill drilling continues to expand and upgrade the known gold-silver mineralisation. Leighton highlighted a new result of 16 metres at 2.8 grams per tonne gold and 9.1 grams per tonne silver, which delivered an additional 30-metre step-out on one lode. She explained that the latest announcement also included a number of infill results, with broad mineralised zones in the range of around 15 to 20 metres and grades of up to approximately 2.6 to 2.8 grams per tonne gold. According to Leighton, the drilling is contributing both additional mineralisation outside the current resource and greater confidence within existing resource areas. The latest results follow another intercept reported the previous week of just over 33 metres at 6.6 grams per tonne gold and 55 grams per tonne silver, which Leighton said also sits outside the current resource. Titan Minerals is expanding its extensional and infill drilling campaign to around 30,000 metres, with work expected to continue through the end of the year and potentially into January. The company is targeting an updated resource in the first quarter of next year, with the expanded and upgraded resource expected to feed into the Dynasty Gold Project scoping study, which is also targeted for Q1. Four diamond rigs are currently operating at the project, with an RC rig due to be added in October to test new extensions and more exploratory areas before potential follow-up diamond drilling.

Krakatoa Resources Ltd CEO Mark Major talked with Proactive about high-grade gold and antimony results from the company's 2026 drilling program at the Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project and the work underway to advance the project toward a JORC-compliant resource. Major said the latest results broadly reaffirmed the grades seen in the project's historical data. He noted that previous work had returned gold grades of around 28 grams per tonne, while the latest sample batch included grades of around 17 grams per tonne gold. On the antimony side, Major highlighted a result of around 15%, alongside grades of more than 20% encountered in previous drilling. Work is continuing across the project, including additional sampling and assessment inside the adits. Surface drilling has also moved to the western side of the project, where the company is testing a series of veins that have not previously been drilled. Looking ahead, Major said Krakatoa Resources plans to take bulk samples for metallurgical test work and carry out further geotechnical work within the adits. The company is also considering preparations for underground drilling in the next field season as it seeks to expand the resource and improve its classification.

Gaming Realms PLC (LSE:GMR, OTCQX:PSDMF, FRA:RNE1) CEO Mark Segal spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about first-half performance, accelerating content licensing growth, expansion into new regulated markets and plans to increase the pace of game releases. Segal said core content licensing revenue grew 12% in the first half, followed by 23% growth in the subsequent two months, driven by content quality, market expansion, closer partner relationships and strong player engagement. On the UK, Segal noted the remote gaming duty increase began at the start of Q2 and is expected to have a greater impact in the second half, though play and gross revenue have continued to rise. "I think we may not see quite the same growth moving forward, albeit we are releasing more content now," he said. Gaming Realms is now live in 34 regulated markets, with Alberta and Argentina added since the period ended. Segal highlighted the US and Canada as the company's biggest growth markets, with further US market openings offering additional opportunities, alongside expansion into Peru, Buenos Aires province and African markets. Increased investment in content is beginning to translate into a more consistent release schedule across Slingo and Lucky Lunar, with Segal hoping for "a much more consistent level of volume coming through" to drive greater revenue engagement and more tailored games for operators and individual markets.

genedrive PLC (AIM:GDR) CEO Dr Gino Miele spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the diagnostic company's progress in rapid point-of-care genetic testing, growing NHS adoption and international expansion plans. Miele explained that Manchester-based genedrive has developed two CE-IVD-approved, NICE-recommended tests to help clinicians make safer prescribing decisions in emergency and acute care. The MT-RNR1 test identifies newborns at risk of irreversible hearing loss from aminoglycoside antibiotics, while the CYP2C19 test identifies stroke patients unlikely to respond well to the antiplatelet drug clopidogrel. On MT-RNR1, Miele highlighted completion of patient recruitment for the PALOH UK programme, covering more than 6,000 babies across 14 hospitals in all four UK nations, with clinical analysis under way and publication expected next month ahead of further NICE guidance in July 2027. "This will be a really important commercial catalyst for the business, alongside NHS England procurement routes as well," he said. He discussed international ambitions, including a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health, routine clinical use at the National Guard hospital there, implementation at Erasmus MC in the Netherlands, and plans around FDA routes in the US. Miele also highlighted genedrive's collaboration with Thermo Fisher to develop a laboratory-format version of the CYP2C19 test, complementing its existing point-of-care offering. Longer term, genedrive is targeting further international expansion, additional clinical indications, and recurring consumables revenue as its tests become embedded in routine care pathways.

Meridian Mining Plc (LSE:MNO, TSX:MNO, OTCQX:MRRDF) CEO Gilbert Clark spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's plans to become a mid-tier copper-gold producer, with its Cabaçal project in Brazil central to that growth strategy. Clark said Meridian is approaching publication of the definitive feasibility study (DFS) for Cabaçal, with the focus on demonstrating the strength and longevity of the project's economics ahead of the next phase: project financing. The company has already started ordering long-lead equipment to lock in prices and bring forward the potential construction completion date. With around US$90 million in the bank, Meridian has also begun civil works, including access infrastructure upgrades, bridges, all-weather roads and power line construction. Securing the installation licence is another key milestone, which Clark said would effectively trigger the final investment decision. He also highlighted the potential at Santa Helena, where Meridian sees significant exploration and resource upside. Rather than a satellite open-pit operation, the company is permitting it as a potential second production hub: "If we get that PL granted and then go on to build a second producing hub there, that will take our throughput from 4.5 up to 5.7 million tonnes," Clark said. Beyond Cabaçal and Santa Helena, Clark discussed Meridian's wider exploration portfolio across three parallel VMS belts and its ambition to establish itself as a leading London-listed copper-gold stock.

Domestic Metals CEO Gord Neal joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the start of the company's fully funded 9,000-metre diamond drilling program at its Smart Creek Project in Montana, a major exploration campaign aimed at testing high-grade porphyry copper mineralization identified through extensive exploration work completed over the past two years. Neal said the program will consist of approximately six to eight drill holes focused primarily on the Smart Creek and Sunrise Mine targets. These targets were generated through a combination of induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys, surface sampling, historical drilling results, and advanced 3D geological modeling designed to identify and vector toward the property's most prospective mineralized zones. The Smart Creek Project is being advanced through a joint venture with mining giant Rio Tinto, which currently holds a 40% interest in the project. Covering approximately 8,000 hectares in Montana, the property is located about 50 kilometres northwest of the historic Butte Mining District and shares many of the same geological characteristics that have made the region one of North America's most prolific copper-producing areas. Neal noted that Smart Creek is considered highly prospective for both large-scale porphyry copper systems and copper-gold-silver enriched carbonate replacement deposits. Previous work by Rio Tinto helped establish the project's potential, with the company drilling 26 of 40 permitted drill sites while targeting what is believed to be a porphyry centre beneath the Smart Creek target area. One of Rio Tinto's most significant drill intercepts returned 109.73 metres grading 0.75% copper, including a higher-grade section of 89 metres grading 0.97% copper. Those results helped strengthen the geological model and provided important vectors for the current drill campaign. Adding to the project's growing exploration appeal, Domestic Metals' 2025 field program delivered exceptionally high-grade surface sampling results, including values of 102 grams per tonne gold, 23.1% copper, and 3,810 grams per tonne silver. These results further support the presence of a robust mineralizing system and provide additional targets for follow-up exploration. #proactiveinvestors #domesticmetals #tsxv #dmcu #otcqb #dmcuf #SmartCreek #CopperMining #RioTinto #CopperExploration #GoldMining #SilverMining #CriticalMinerals #MiningStocks #ResourceInvesting

Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide his perspective on the current uranium market and explain why he believes a major shift in utility purchasing could be the catalyst that reignites uranium equities. Frostad noted that many U.S. utilities were purchasing uranium in the mid-to-high US$50 per pound range last year, despite spot uranium prices trading in the high US$80s. He explained that this apparent disconnect was largely due to flexibility provisions embedded in long-term contracts signed several years ago, allowing utilities to access lower-priced uranium even as market prices moved significantly higher. According to Frostad, this pricing gap has created confusion among investors and contributed to weaker performance across uranium stocks, despite what appears to be a strong uranium pricing environment. He argued that the current spot market is being driven more by constrained supply than by a surge in demand. Producers, he said, are operating with inventory levels near the minimum they are comfortable maintaining, leaving very little excess material available for sale. As a result, relatively small transactions can have an outsized impact on spot pricing, with weekly uranium prices sometimes moving several dollars on limited trading activity. Frostad also pointed to major uranium producers reporting realized sales prices in the high US$60-per-pound range as evidence that legacy contracts continue to mask the true economics of the uranium market. While utility contracting activity has slowed in recent years, Frostad believes that trend is nearing a turning point. As older contracts expire and utilities are forced back into the market to secure future supply at prevailing prices, he expects contracting activity to accelerate significantly. He described this transition as “the last shoe to drop” in the uranium cycle, suggesting that renewed long-term contracting could become the key driver that pushes uranium equities higher and better aligns stock valuations with underlying market fundamentals. For Purepoint Uranium, Frostad said the company remains actively engaged in exploration and drilling programs while maintaining a strong financial position. He believes Purepoint is well-funded to continue advancing its projects through the current market environment and into what he expects will be a period of stronger uranium demand and improved market conditions. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #Uranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #UraniumExploration #CriticalMinerals #Geology #Mining #Drilling #SaskatchewanMining #MiningNews #ResourceExploration

Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new drilling results from the company's Potrero Project in Mexico, where ongoing exploration has successfully confirmed and extended high-grade gold and silver mineralization at the historic Pinos Cuates mine. One of the standout results came from hole EPUG26035, which was drilled horizontally along the Dos de Mayo vein to evaluate the strike continuity of previously identified mineralization. The hole intersected 13.18 metres grading 9.69 grams per tonne gold and 143 grams per tonne silver, confirming the presence of a broad and robust mineralized zone. Follow-up drilling from the Main Level, targeting the vein up-dip from earlier intersections, also delivered encouraging results. Hole EPUG26068 returned 10.89 metres grading 6.19 g/t gold and 90 g/t silver, further validating the continuity of the mineralized structure. Within that interval, the company identified an exceptionally high-grade section containing visible gold and silver sulphides. The best intercept assayed 58.2 g/t gold and 631 g/t silver over 0.41 metres, highlighting the presence of rich shoots within the broader mineralized system. Archer noted that additional holes have already been completed to better define the extent and continuity of these high-grade zones, with assay results currently pending. To date, Pinnacle has drilled 76 holes at the project and received assay results from the first 53 holes, providing a growing database that is helping the company refine its geological model and identify new drill targets. Drilling remains active at Pinos Cuates and is expected to shift toward the Dos de Mayo target beginning with hole EPUG26084. Looking ahead, Pinnacle plans to launch a surface drilling program in October aimed at testing gaps between historic mine workings while also evaluating extensions of mineralization up-dip, down-dip, and along strike to the northwest. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #ElPotrero #GoldMining #SilverMining #MexicoMining #DrillResults #GoldExploration #SilverStocks #MiningNews #ResourceInvesting #PreciousMetals

Arrow Exploration CEO Marshall Abbott joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an operational update on the company's activities at the Icaco field on the Tapir Block in Colombia's prolific Llanos Basin, while also highlighting record corporate production levels and a strong financial position following its recent acquisition in Canada. Abbott reported that Arrow's total corporate production has now surpassed 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), marking the highest production rate in the company's history. The record output includes contributions from the recently acquired Thorsby field in Alberta and reflects the success of recent drilling campaigns, strong workover results, and strategic acquisitions. The company believes it remains well positioned to continue growing production through its extensive inventory of exploration and development opportunities across its portfolio. At the Tapir Block, Arrow recently drilled the Icaco-6 (IC-6) well, which was spud on August 19 and reached total depth on August 24. During drilling operations, the well encountered a fault zone and experienced significant lost circulation and drilling fluid losses before reaching its intended target. As a result, management elected to case the well early and convert it into a water disposal well. Abbott noted that while the well did not reach its primary drilling objectives, the additional water disposal capacity is expected to generate meaningful operational benefits by lowering field operating costs and improving efficiency across the Icaco development area. The company's next well, IC-7, was spud on September 1 and will target multiple productive horizons, including the C7, Gacheta, and Ubaque formations. Arrow views the well as an important step in continuing to unlock the broader potential of the Tapir Block. Abbott also provided an update on discussions surrounding the Tapir Block extension, noting that the company continues to engage constructively with Colombian regulatory authorities. He said Arrow is encouraged by the country's new pro-business administration and its stated commitment to supporting investment and growth in Colombia's oil and gas sector. Looking at its financial position, Arrow remains well capitalized. Following the US$8.9 million payment associated with the Thorsby acquisition, the company reported an estimated cash balance of US$21.8 million as of September 1, 2026. Abbott said the strong balance sheet provides flexibility to continue funding growth initiatives while maintaining financial discipline. With record production, an expanding asset base, ongoing drilling activity in Colombia, and a healthy cash position, Arrow Exploration believes it is well positioned to continue delivering operational and production growth through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. #proactiveinvestors #arrowexplorationinc #aim #axl #tsxv #axl #ColombiaEnergy #MarshallAbbott #Mateguafa #LlanosBasin #ColombiaOil #OilAndGas #ColombiaEnergy #LlanosBasin #EnergyStocks #OilProduction #CanadianEnergy #ResourceInvesting #Thorsby #SmallCapStocks

Dalaroo Metals Ltd CEO John Morgan talked with Proactive about the start of the company's maiden reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Bondoukou Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. Morgan said the program marked an exciting stage for Dalaroo Metals, with the first drill bit now in the ground as the company begins a planned 12,000-metre RC campaign. The initial work will focus on an orientation program designed to improve the company's understanding of the mineralisation before further drilling is carried out. The campaign is targeting the Wilfred, Ali and Mag areas. Morgan said Wilfred would be tested first, where the company has interpreted a fold hinge and believes there is strong potential for gold mineralisation. Drilling will then move to Ali and Mag, extending the area being tested along the strike of the system. Mag is also considered an important target following the company's highest-grade soil samples in that area. The initial drilling is intended to provide greater definition around the broad soil anomalies and establish the orientation of the mineralisation. The results will then help guide the subsequent holes in the campaign and improve targeting for future drilling. Morgan said assay results are expected to begin arriving within approximately four to six weeks, subject to laboratory capacity in Côte d'Ivoire. Dalaroo Metals has a team of six people in-country ready to begin modelling the results as they are received.

Kingfisher Mining Ltd managing director Chris Bittar talked with Proactive about high-grade silver-lead-zinc results from drilling at the Stephens Trig and Allendale prospects near Broken Hill, as well as the company's upcoming work at its flagship Copper Blow copper-gold project. Bittar said the drilling was designed both to validate historical results and confirm grade continuity, while also testing the potential extent of mineralisation along strike and down dip. Kingfisher holds a 75% interest in both Stephens Trig and Allendale, with Broken Hill Mines holding the remaining 25%. At Allendale, drilling returned an intersection of nine metres at 8% lead-zinc and 18 grams per tonne silver, including five metres at 10% lead-zinc and 23 grams per tonne silver. At Stephens Trig, where Kingfisher completed five holes for about 580 metres, results included five metres at 7.4% lead-zinc with 10 grams per tonne silver. A higher-grade interval returned two metres at 7.5% lead-zinc with 24 grams per tonne silver, while another intersection returned one metre at 198 grams per tonne silver. Bittar said the projects are supported by Kingfisher's mining and processing agreement with Broken Hill Mines, with the company seeking shallow, high-grade mineralisation close to existing infrastructure that could potentially provide feed for the Broken Hill mill. For the remainder of the year, Kingfisher plans to focus its funds and exploration efforts on Copper Blow. The company has received formal drilling approval in New South Wales and is seeking to secure a rig for diamond and RC drilling. Metallurgical sampling and test work has also commenced, while Kingfisher continues to assess targets along Copper Blow's four-kilometre magnetic trend. The company is also working toward completing a maiden resource by the end of the year. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews and market updates.

EnergyPathways PLC (AIM:EPP) CEO Ben Clube spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest milestone for the MESH long-duration energy storage project, following the appointment of Jacobs as a tier-one engineering and regulatory partner. Clube said the appointment launches EnergyPathways' engagement with the planning approval process for MESH, as well as Ofgem's cap-and-floor mechanism for long-duration storage projects, which provides government revenue support to underpin project financing. On the choice of Jacobs, Clube highlighted the firm's experience with major UK infrastructure projects and its planning and government relations expertise, saying it would play a major role supporting MESH through the relevant processes. He also discussed the wider role of long-duration storage in the UK's energy transition, describing it as "the key missing piece" that lets surplus renewable electricity be stored and used when demand requires. Surplus wind energy already adds around £1.5 billion a year to consumer bills, Clube said, a figure that could rise past £8 billion annually by 2030 as more wind farms come online - equivalent to 72 terawatt hours of surplus generation. "This is a major, major challenge for the UK," he said, with long-duration storage offering a way to capture that surplus and reuse it when needed. Clube also outlined EnergyPathways' planned investor engagement events, giving shareholders a chance to hear more about MESH as the project progresses.

Genflow Biosciences Ltd (LSE:GENF, OTCQB:GENFF, FRA:WQ5) CEO Dr Eric Leire spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's SLAB trial meeting its primary endpoint, providing what he described as important validation for the company's centenarian SIRT6 therapy platform. The trial involved 24 naturally aged beagles, assessing whether Genflow's therapy could reduce biological age as measured by the Horvath methylation clock. Leire said treated animals showed a clear and consistent improvement signal compared with the saline control. "This is a huge milestone we have been building toward," he said. "The SLAB trial has now met its primary endpoint." Leire explained that using naturally aged dogs, rather than young lab animals or genetically modified models, made the trial a more realistic test of the therapy. He also highlighted the commercial advantages of Genflow's naked DNA delivery approach - including safety, lower manufacturing costs, no cold-chain requirement, and the ability to re-dose. The company is in discussions with tier-one global animal health companies covering potential licensing, co-development and commercialisation, with Leire saying the latest results have strengthened those conversations, though he didn't disclose names, terms or timing. Genflow plans to present full methylation clock and muscle data at the Animal Longevity Summit in Toronto on October 2. Leire stressed SLAB remains a companion-animal trial rather than a human one, though the underlying SIRT6 biology also features in the company's human-focused MASH and sarcopenia programmes.

GinsGlobal Index Fund CEO Anthony Ginsberg tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the GinsGlobal Tech Megatrend UCITS ETF (ITEK) fund is up approximately 13% year-to-date and gained more than 5% in August alone, with AI and robotics remaining the top sub-theme at nearly 50% year-to-date gains. Ginsberg said the fund's average price-to-earnings ratio is in the low 20s, which he describes as only a small premium to the S&P 500, arguing that tech is not overvalued at current levels. Beyond AI and robotics, Ginsberg highlighted cybersecurity, defence tech, blockchain and gene editing as strong performers in August, pointing to a broadening rotation across the tech ecosystem. He cited a global AI infrastructure buildout of close to one trillion dollars in the current year, driven partly by cloud spending and M&A activity, with NVIDIA among the companies making recent acquisitions. Ginsberg emphasised the fund's equal-weighting approach as a key differentiator, noting that its top 10 holdings represent just over 12% of the portfolio, compared with north of 50% or even 60% for some rival tech funds. The fund holds roughly 60% in US equities and approximately 22% in Asia, including Japan, China and South Korea, with Ginsberg arguing that per-capita cloud spending in Asia already surpasses the US and Europe in some cases. On the outlook, Ginsberg said tailwinds include a resilient US economy, lower corporate taxes supporting capital expenditure, a weaker US dollar boosting earnings for American tech firms, and the prospect of stable or lower interest rates supporting further M&A. He also flagged anticipated IPOs from Anthropic and OpenAI as likely catalysts for additional corporate spending across the sector.

Alvopetro Energy Ltd (TSX-V:ALV, OTC:ALVOF, FRA:A6Y0) CEO Corey Ruttan spoke to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest Mannville acreage acquisition in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, which adds 14 net sections and increases the company's drilling inventory by approximately 75%. Ruttan says the deal is structured as an earn-in, with Alvopetro holding a 75% working interest before payout on each well, dropping to 50% after payout, alongside a 50% interest in surrounding undeveloped land. A C$8.5 million drilling program is set to begin in Q4, with five earning wells targeting five new core areas. Ruttan says the program is designed to prove up two key technologies: open hole multilateral drilling, which the company has already been deploying, and single horizontal wells with recirculation strings, which are also showing early success. With more than 75 gross drilling locations identified, Ruttan says the new acreage materially extends Alvopetro's oil-weighted growth opportunities in Canada, which sit alongside the company's high-margin natural gas business in Brazil. He also outlined a longer-term vision of exporting these drilling and completion technologies internationally, describing it as consistent with Alvopetro's core value of finding innovative solutions to difficult challenges.

Arizona Gold & Silver Inc (TSX-V:AZS, OTCQB:AZASF, FRA:A9J0) senior vice president of exploration Dr Lex Lambeck joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the latest drilling results at the Philadelphia gold-silver project, where three new holes have extended the continuity of the high-grade Perry Zone and increased confidence in a coherent, vertically continuous gold system. Two holes have now been drilled beneath the 156, 157, and 158 elevations where the highest-grade Perry Zone intersections were previously recorded. Assays from those deeper holes are pending, and Lambeck says the results will show whether the high-grade component continues at depth and whether the system has been tested deeply enough. A CSAMT (controlled-source audio magnetotellurics) geophysical anomaly identified beneath Red Hills is interpreted as an altered, clay-rich, steam-heated zone sitting directly above the high-grade zone. Lambeck says results from holes 172 and 173, which have been drilled through it, will help define the broader bulk-tonnage potential of the Red Hills component of the Philadelphia system. On the operational side, the switch to 24-hour drilling has already doubled productivity, and the company is sourcing a second drill rig that Lambeck says would take productivity to four times its previous rate. With 16 additional drill pad permits secured and cooler months ahead, the team also plans further fieldwork to validate hyperspectral targets across the property, with plans to expand drilling both north and south.

Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM, OTC:TTIRF, FRA:TMU) managing director Richard Belcher spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest drilling results from Mushima North and plans to deliver a maiden mineral resource estimate by year-end. Belcher said drilling has extended mineralisation beyond the depth of the existing exploration target at Target A1, currently 15-30 million tonnes grading 40-60g/t silver equivalent, with the latest results offering scope to add further ounces. The deeper drilling also raises the possibility of oxide mineralisation transitioning into sulphide at depth, though this remains untested. Tertiary has also encountered higher-grade silver-copper zones at Target A1, with the company weighing whether these represent a structure or feeder zone extending from depth as geological modelling continues. "Silver equivalent grades over 100g a tonne. Really very impressive," Belcher said. Further assays are expected over coming weeks as lab processing continues, with Tertiary remaining on track for its maiden resource estimate by year-end and metallurgical test work also under way. Beyond the resource estimate, the company plans to investigate the depth extent of the Discovery Zone, follow up the new Western Zone discovery, and drill test wider targets around Target A1. Tertiary is also evaluating Target A1's potential for a near-term open-pit mine, with feasibility studies and progress towards a mining licence identified as possible next steps.

Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd (LSE:RBW, OTC:RBWRF, FRA:RR1) CEO George Bennett spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the start of the preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for the Uberaba rare earths project in Brazil with Mosaic, outlining work to further define the project's resource, processing characteristics and economics. Bennett said the PFS follows March's initial economic assessment, which showed "very, very strong economics" at spot rare earth prices, with the company on track for what it expects will be a positive PFS. He also discussed work by SRK to prepare a maiden JORC mineral resource estimate for Uberaba. Mosaic holds a large phosphate resource feeding its phosphoric acid plant there, and Rainbow has identified rare earths in the associated phosphogypsum, grading around 5,100 ppm total rare earth oxides. The resource work will assay existing core and review historical data to confirm consistency, with Bennett suggesting this could establish Uberaba as a very long-life project. The current study covers one phosphoric acid production line, with potential for a second. Bennett also explained why Mosaic is sending another six tonnes of phosphogypsum for pilot testing, examining factors like leach residence time and temperature, drawing on IP developed through Rainbow's Phalaborwa project. On economics, Bennett highlighted March's assessment showing a $916 million NPV and 45% IRR: "We expect the PFS will deliver very, very strong economic numbers," with completion targeted for the second half of 2027 ahead of a potential definitive feasibility study and construction.

InPlay Oil CEO Doug Bartole joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's growth strategy, recent acquisitions, strong financial backing from the Delek Group, and its plans to continue expanding production through both acquisitions and drilling activity. Bartole highlighted the transformation of InPlay Oil since the COVID-19 downturn, noting that the company has increased production by approximately ten times while growing reserves fourteen-fold. He credited much of that success to a disciplined acquisition strategy focused on adding high-quality assets that immediately enhance cash flow and shareholder value. A key component of InPlay's growth story has been its relationship with the Delek Group, which currently holds a 32.7% ownership stake in the company. Bartole said the strategic partnership has provided significant financial flexibility, including access to attractive financing options such as an unsecured bond carrying an interest rate of just 6.2%. He noted that this support has strengthened InPlay's balance sheet and positioned the company to pursue additional growth opportunities. The discussion also focused on InPlay's recent acquisition activity. Bartole pointed to the successful Pembina-area acquisition completed in April 2025 and the company's latest expansion into the Belly River play. The Belly River transaction added approximately 1,400 to 1,500 barrels of production and delivered an estimated 18% accretion to both adjusted funds flow and free adjusted funds flow, further strengthening the company's operating base. Bartole emphasized that acquisitions remain an important pillar of InPlay's strategy moving forward. "We'll continue to look for those accretive acquisitions, which we have a strong track record of," he said. Beyond acquisitions, InPlay continues to balance organic growth initiatives with debt reduction and shareholder returns. Bartole explained that capital allocation decisions are guided by commodity prices, market conditions, and the company's commitment to maintaining a conservative leverage profile while maximizing long-term value creation. The company remains focused on light-oil production, which Bartole believes offers attractive economics and strong cash flow generation. At the same time, management continues to prioritize financial discipline and returns to shareholders. Looking ahead, InPlay plans to drill and complete eight wells before the end of 2026, including two wells targeting the newly acquired Belly River assets. Bartole said the program is expected to bring additional production online before year-end and help establish momentum heading into 2027. #proactiveinvestors #inplayoil #tsx #ipo #tase #otcqx #ipoof #EnergyStocks #OilAndGas #BellyRiver #CanadianEnergy #ResourceInvesting #EnergySector #OilProduction #StockMarket #SmallCapStocks

Thistle Resources Inc. CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the commencement of the company's highly anticipated Phase 3 drill program at the Middle River Gold Project. The 3,000-metre campaign is now officially underway, with the drill rig mobilized, installed, and operating from the first drill pad. Cruickshank said the program will focus initially on the Middle River Gold (MRG) Upper Zone, building on the success of the company's previous two drilling campaigns that delivered multiple strong gold intersections and helped define a growing mineralized system. The current program is designed to expand the known footprint of the Middle River gold deposit while also testing the project's depth potential. Management believes the deposit remains open and that additional drilling could significantly increase the scale of the known mineralized zone. Importantly, the MRG Upper Zone represents only the first target area along a much larger seven-kilometre mineralized fold system identified through advanced geophysical work conducted by Abitibi Geophysics using its proprietary 3D Orion Vision technology. The extensive geophysical survey has highlighted multiple targets across the broader property, providing Thistle with a pipeline of exploration opportunities beyond the currently defined deposit. Cruickshank noted that the company has integrated historical drilling data with its own exploration results, including detailed geophysical surveys and recent drilling information. This comprehensive dataset has helped refine targeting and improve the company's understanding of the mineralized system. In addition to expanding the existing resource footprint, the Phase 3 campaign will test new exploration targets located along the flanks of the known mineralized body. These areas have shown encouraging geological and geophysical signatures and could represent extensions of the gold system or entirely new mineralized zones. With drilling now underway, Thistle Resources expects the program to further define the scale and continuity of the Middle River Gold Project while advancing one of the most prospective gold exploration opportunities within its portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiddleRiverGold #GoldExploration #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #JuniorMining #DrillingProgram #ResourceInvesting #AbitibiGeophysics #PreciousMetals #middleriverproject #gold
