Proactive - Interviews for investors

Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) chief financial officer Julian Maurice-Williams talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about two key announcements tied to the company's renewable energy operations in South Africa. The first announcement covers the financial close of two large-scale wind power projects — Zen (100MW) and Bergriver (94MW) — both located in the Western Cape. Maurice-Williams highlighted that Chariot Generation and Trading, a new subsidiary, owns 24% of the assets alongside project lead Acciona Energía. Construction is set to begin imminently, with commissioning targeted for mid-2027. The second announcement focuses on the financing of Chariot's stake. Maurice-Williams explained the multi-layered structure, stating: “We brought in a strategic partner, and we've done it all at the subsidiary level… around $100 million net.” Funding sources include $284 million of project finance debt from Standard Bank and Investec, a $17 million equity investment from South African fund Mahlako, and a $9 million mezzanine facility from Standard Bank. He also outlined how the structure ensures no dilution at the parent level, while retaining control of the renewable business. Looking ahead to 2026, Chariot aims to generate material revenues from both its renewable and upstream oil and gas arms. Maurice-Williams also noted that the company is exploring the separation of these divisions and has entered discussions with ACWA Power regarding a broader Southern African sustainable energy platform.

S&U PLC (LSE:SUS) chairman Anthony Coombs talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong growth in the third quarter of 2025 and the outlook for 2026, particularly across its Advantage and Aspen businesses. Coombs said he expects further momentum in 2026, even if the broader economy remains flat, due to increasing market share and the company's operational improvements. He highlighted the recent performance of Advantage, the group's motor finance division, which has seen “record collection rates” and strong loan quality following industry-wide challenges and regulatory scrutiny. “We've been trading our socks off for the last 3 or 4 months,” Coombs said, noting the investigation by the FCA is now complete and has confirmed the company's compliance. Risk management remains a key focus. Coombs explained that S&U has improved its affordability assessments and credit scoring systems to ensure sustainable growth. The company is also introducing AI to support greater efficiency and customer onboarding. Discussing funding, he confirmed that net borrowings have risen in line with growth, and longer-term funding options such as securitisation are being explored. Looking ahead to 2026, Coombs said, “Actually, I see the economy slightly picking up in 2026. But even if it doesn't, we're going to be taking more market share.” For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Geomega Resources (TSX-V:GMA) CEO Kiril Mugerman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's bauxite residue technology and its potential global impact. In the interview, Mugerman explained how Geomega is addressing the 200 million tonnes of bauxite residue generated annually, with over 4.5 billion tonnes currently stored globally. He detailed the company's clean technology solution designed to convert this industrial waste into value. "This is a technology for bauxite residues," Mugerman said, describing how the waste, which results from aluminum refining, can be treated instead of being left to accumulate in storage ponds. Mugerman highlighted Geomega's joint development agreement with Rio Tinto, valued at C$4.5 million, to build a demonstration plant in Saguenay, Quebec. Although the timeline is controlled by Rio Tinto, the goal is to complete the project within approximately two years. The CEO also spoke about presenting bench-scale results in China, which demonstrated over 90% residue volume reduction and successful performance across six different bauxite residue sources. The next step is to scale to a demonstration plant. “A major company gave the green light to do the next scale up, which is exciting,” he noted. Mugerman also emphasized the role of government support in advancing the technology readiness level, helping position Geomega for future commercial agreements.

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's progress on two major fronts: the advancement of its acquisition of Challenger and new developments across key blocks in Namibia's Orange Basin. Bose reported that the planned acquisition of Challenger has now satisfied several significant conditions, including formal consent from ANCAP—Uruguay's national hydrocarbon regulator—and confirmation from Chevron indicating no objection to the transaction. With these milestones achieved, the deal now only requires final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. A Court Sanction Hearing, originally delayed following later-than-expected ANCAP approval, has been rescheduled for December 12. On 26 November 2025, Challenger confirmed that the Scheme of Arrangement received strong shareholder backing, with the requisite majorities approving both the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the related Special Resolution at the General Meeting. Pending court sanction, registration of the Court Order, and satisfaction or waiver of remaining conditions outlined in the Scheme Document, the transaction is expected to become effective on 16 December 2025. Bose also provided an important operational update on Blocks 2813A and 2814B in Namibia's Orange Basin—one of the world's most closely watched offshore exploration regions. The blocks fall under Petroleum Exploration License 83 (PEL 83), currently operated by a subsidiary of Galp. Sintana maintains an indirect 49% interest in Custos Energy, which itself holds a 10% working interest in PEL 83, giving Sintana an effective 4.9% carried interest. NAMCOR, Namibia's state energy company, holds an additional 10% working interest. Major structural changes are underway at the asset level. TotalEnergies and Galp have agreed to a transaction that will see TotalEnergies assume operatorship of PEL 83 and secure a 40% participating interest from Galp, which presently owns 80%. As part of the agreement, the parties will initiate a multi-well exploration and appraisal campaign over the next two years, targeting at least three wells aimed at further de-risking the block and defining a potential first development hub within the acreage. The first exploration well under this new program is currently being assessed for potential drilling in 2026—positioning PEL 83 as a key contributor to the growing momentum in the Orange Basin and reinforcing Sintana's strategic exposure to one of the most prolific emerging petroleum regions globally. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #OilExploration #Namibia #OrangeBasin #EnergySector #PEL83 #RobertBose #GalpEnergia #Chevron #QatarEnergy #EnergyNews #ProactiveInvestors #2025EnergyTrends

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of a new, targeted follow-up drilling campaign at the company's flagship Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in southern Peru. The program includes approximately 4,000 metres of diamond core drilling and 2,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, marking a significant new phase of exploration aimed at further enhancing the project's resource potential. Rushton explained that drilling is also set to begin this week at Aftermath Silver's Challacollo silver-gold project in Region I of northern Chile. At Challacollo, the company plans to complete between 1,000 and 2,000 metres of core drilling as it advances its exploration strategy across multiple high-priority assets. The decision to accelerate drilling activity reflects both favourable market conditions and strong technical confidence in the projects. Rushton noted that with silver prices currently at elevated levels, the company believes now is the optimal time to advance both exploration and resource growth. At Berenguela, the focus of the program will be on following up high copper grades previously encountered on the eastern side of the existing resource. In addition, infill drilling will target areas believed to represent the most likely location for initial future mining operations. Rushton emphasized that the campaign is designed not only to expand and upgrade known mineralization but also to support longer-term development planning by improving geological confidence in critical zones of the deposit. With two active drill programs underway in Peru and Chile, Aftermath Silver is positioning itself to capitalize on strong metals markets while advancing its portfolio of advanced-stage silver projects. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

Delta Gold Technologies PLC (AQSE:DGQ) CEO Michael Jones joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio to discuss more about the company's innovative approach to quantum computing, underpinned by its nanoscale gold-based technology. Jones explained that while many firms claim to have quantum computers, the core challenge of creating stable and scalable qubits remains unresolved. Delta Gold is focused on a novel method using nanoscale gold to address this challenge, backed by a leading research partnership with the University of Toronto. “The power of the quantum computer is something that can cross a whole bunch of different sectors, and that gives us a lot of opportunity to look for partners or licensees to our technology,” Jones said. He highlighted the company's relationship with Professor Harry Ruda, a globally cited expert who leads Delta Gold's research efforts, and noted the significant advantage of working within a university ecosystem. Delta Gold has recently listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange, with a market cap now exceeding £10 million following a 50% rise post-IPO. Capital raised will fund a three-year research programme, with IP development and patent filings planned. Jones confirmed that major stockholders are locked in, reflecting strong confidence in the company's long-term potential. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF) CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a significant milestone for the company as it successfully shipped its 10Ah Goliath battery prototypes on schedule. Purdy noted that the delivery reflects the company's commitment to meeting expectations and keeping to its timelines. The prototypes will now be evaluated by customers, with Ilika expecting collaborative feedback to further refine its solid-state battery technology. Purdy explained that the next key milestone is the development of a 50Ah cell and that licensing discussions are already underway. He emphasised Ilika's asset-light model, saying that the company does not intend to build large factories itself but will rely on technology transfer and partners to scale up. Ilika's pilot line has achieved a 93% yield, which Purdy described as a “really great validation that we have a robust process that is ready for scale up.” This result exceeds typical expectations at this stage and supports the transition towards commercialisation. The interview also touched on Ilika's modelling work with Balance Batteries Ltd, which demonstrated potential cost and performance benefits for EV applications. The company claims a 20% reduction in battery pack costs and a corresponding increase in vehicle range when using its technology. To conclude, Purdy shared that further updates may follow from Ilika's Stereax product line as the year closes, with half-year results expected in early 2026.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the key takeaways from the firm's November report on crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), which tracked a 17% drop in crypto assets – closely aligned with a broader 16% market decline. Despite the downturn, Greco noted that outflows from ETPs were minimal, indicating growing maturity and long-term investor confidence in crypto-backed financial products. “This is a strong vehicle to get exposure to the asset class,” Greco said, emphasizing the resilience of the crypto ETP market. He highlighted that Bitcoin ETPs saw only $3 billion in outflows despite a 17.5% price drop, suggesting that investors in these products tend to have a longer investment horizon. Similarly, while Ethereum ETPs recorded their first monthly outflows after seven months of inflows, Greco said that, proportional to market cap, Ethereum has attracted relatively stronger demand than Bitcoin. Regarding altcoin ETPs, Greco pointed to a positive trend driven by recent US ETF approvals for assets like Solana and Dogecoin. He added that the broader range of products could signal the early signs of an "alt season." Looking ahead, Greco believes the launch of over 300 listed crypto ETPs indicates sustained institutional interest heading into 2026.

Optima Health PLC (AIM:OPT) chief executive Jonathan Thomas talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong first half performance, posting 17% revenue growth. Thomas credited both organic expansion and recent M&A activity, including the acquisitions of Cognate Health in Ireland and Care first, as key contributors. “The market backdrop is really good. There's great demand for our services. We're winning new business, and we anticipate to continue to grow,” said Thomas. He outlined how Cognate Health has now been rebranded as Optima Health Ireland, with the company beginning to leverage revenue synergies across jurisdictions. Care first, which complements Optima's existing EAP and mental health operations, is expected to complete its integration in Q4 of the current financial year. Thomas also discussed the company's operational transformation programme, which is designed to improve margins and scale effectively as growth continues. This includes clinical enhancements, automating processes, and optimising central support functions. The interview also touched on Optima's £210 million UK Armed Forces contract, now being mobilised, and £8.3 million of new business either signed or at preferred bidder stage—positioning the company for growth into FY27 and FY28. Looking ahead, Thomas reaffirmed the company's target of reaching £200 million in revenue and £40 million EBITDA, driven by organic growth, operational efficiency, and further M&A.

MustGrow Biologics Corp Chief Operating Officer Colin Bletsky joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce outstanding performance results for the company's organic TerraSante™ biofertility product, based on large-scale customer performance data from commercial potato operations in Washington State and Idaho. The results demonstrate meaningful improvements in crop yield, size, and overall quality when TerraSante™ is incorporated into existing grower production programs. Bletsky told Proactive that one Washington State farming customer recorded consistent and substantial improvements in potato yield, tuber size, and crop quality using TerraSante™ at a dose rate of 11 pounds per acre. The performance data was generated on a large commercial potato field, providing a real-world validation of the product's effectiveness at scale. Based on the improved size, quality, and yield of the crop, the farmer estimated an approximate increase in revenue of US$5,000 per acre, achieved at a product cost of just US$180 per acre for TerraSante™. Additional work completed across potato fields in Idaho has also demonstrated significant agronomic benefits. These trials showed measurable improvements to both soil health and crop vigor when TerraSante™ was applied within growers' existing production programs, reinforcing the product's versatility and compatibility with established farming practices. TerraSante™ is a mustard-derived, organic biofertilizer formulated as a soluble, mixable product containing nutritious plant proteins and carbohydrates. These inputs are designed to feed both the soil and beneficial soil microbes, helping to improve soil biology, nutrient availability, and overall plant performance in a sustainable manner. The product is currently registered and approved for sale in six key U.S. agricultural states California, Florida, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. TerraSanteTM is also certified under the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) Listed® program and California's Organic Input Material (OIM) Program, allowing it to be used in certified organic farming operations. Bletsky noted that the strong commercial performance data further supports MustGrow's strategy to commercialize sustainable, high-performance biological solutions that deliver both environmental benefits and compelling economic returns for growers. #proactiveinvestors #mustgrowbiologicscorp #tsxv #mgro #otcqb #mgrof #mustardseed #TerraSante #Biofertility #AgricultureTechnology #SustainableFarming #OrganicFarming #CropEnhancement #SoilHealth #AgriBusiness #ProductDistribution #florida #grapefruit #bellpeppers #watermelons #tomatos

Temas Resources CEO Tim Fernback joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the continued advancement of the company's La Blache Property in Quebec, along with significant progress on its proprietary metallurgical technology initiatives. Fernback outlined Temas' unique dual-business model, explaining that the company operates both as a metallurgical technology developer and as an advancing critical minerals exploration and development company focused on titanium, vanadium, and iron. Fernback noted that Temas has completed approximately 45,000 metres of drilling at the La Blache Property to date, establishing a substantial geological database for the project. He highlighted that the company has already delivered a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which demonstrates the scale and strength of the asset. The PEA indicates approximately $6.6 billion of in-situ rock value underground with an internal rate of return (IRR) of over 60%, underscoring the project's robust economic potential. A key component of Temas' strategy is its proprietary regenerative chloride leach (RCL) platform technology. Fernback explained that the RCL system is designed to extract metals from complex mineralized rock while recycling reagents within a closed-loop process. By reusing key inputs, the technology is engineered to significantly reduce both operating costs and energy consumption compared to conventional processing methods. According to Fernback, the RCL platform can deliver approximately 65% savings versus traditional metallurgical approaches, positioning it as a potentially disruptive solution for the global mining and processing industry. Temas is actively evaluating international licensing and joint venture opportunities for the RCL technology, as the company looks to commercialize the platform beyond its own projects and create an additional revenue stream independent of mining operations. The interview also highlighted the company's recently completed 2,300-metre drilling program at La Blache, with assay results expected in early 2026. Fernback added that planned work in the coming year includes advancing both the La Blache and Lac Brûlé projects toward feasibility-stage studies, while continuing to strengthen the company's metallurgical division and expand its technology footprint. Fernback also pointed to the company's recently completed Australian initial public offering, which successfully raised $11.00 million. He said the financing leaves Temas fully funded for its upcoming work programs, positioning the company to execute on both its project development and technology growth strategies without near-term funding constraints. #proactiveinvestors #temasresourcescorp #asx #tio #cse #tmas #otcqb #tmasf #LaBlacheProject #MiningNews #CriticalMinerals #Titanium #Vanadium #IronOre #MetallurgicalTechnology #RCLTechnology #QuebecMining #ResourceStocks #DrillingUpdate #2026Outlook

Scancell Holdings PLC (AIM:SCLP, OTC:SCNLF) CEO Phillip L'Huillier talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about new clinical data from its phase two melanoma study, known as the SCOPE trial, featuring its lead ImmunoBody candidate, iSCIB1+. L'Huillier highlighted that the trial has achieved the objectives set out for it, confirming the parameters for the company's upcoming registrational phase three study. The findings now provide clarity on dosing, patient population, and trial design. “Our SCOPE study…has met the objectives that we set out for it,” he said. A key point of the discussion focused on the data, which showed a 74% progression-free survival rate at 16 months for iSCIB1+. This compares to 46% at 12 months for the standard of care, which typically includes dual checkpoint inhibitors Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. L'Huillier noted this as a "really strong and durable benefit" on top of existing treatments. He also addressed how iSCIB1+ performed across patient subgroups where existing therapies are typically less effective—such as BRAF, PD-L1 status, and those with prior checkpoint treatment—with results showing clinically meaningful benefit across all. Scancell now plans to begin its phase three trial in late 2026, having received supportive regulatory feedback. L'Huillier also said the data has materially strengthened the company's case for partnering and financing opportunities as part of a dual-track strategy to either partner or proceed independently.

Australian Oil Company Limited (ASX:AOK) managing director Kane Marshall talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's diversified strategy across gas and oil markets in both the United States and Australia. Marshall outlined the company's expansion in the Sacramento Basin in California, where it has increased its working interest without a cash outlay. He noted that this consolidation gives the company greater control and positions it well amid rising demand for energy from data centres and critical industries. “We sort of can dictate our own terms, so to speak,” he said, referring to the advantages of consolidation amid recent mergers in the US sector. In Australia, the company has secured a strategic package in Queensland's Surat Basin, including producing fields, 3D seismic coverage, and nearby pipeline infrastructure. Marshall pointed out that gas prices remain attractive and that the assets are near a refinery selling oil at AU$100 a barrel, making the economics "extremely attractive". Marshall emphasised that both the US and Australian markets are “hungry for gas” and the company is delivering on its stated goals by entering these regions. He said the company remains focused on deploying capital into the highest-impact projects and hinted at upcoming exploration efforts in both jurisdictions. As the company heads into 2026, investors can expect updates on drilling prospects and production increases, particularly in Queensland. Marshall also referenced other active operators in the area and sees further corporate activity as likely. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

Jupiter Asset Management lead investment manager Tarlock Randhawa joined Stephen Gunnion the Proactive studio to discuss the investment case for global smaller companies included in the Jupiter Origin Global Smaller Companies Active UCITS ETF (JOGS) and the approach taken by the Jupiter Origin team. Randhawa outlined the structural advantages of investing in small caps, noting their potential for price appreciation and under-researched nature. "We certainly think that there is a larger opportunity of potential price appreciation in the small-cap space," he said, pointing to the wider universe of opportunities relative to large-cap benchmarks. He explained that small caps offer more potential upside but come with higher stock-specific risks. To mitigate this, the team diversifies across around 200 names per portfolio. Randhawa also highlighted that the team seeks companies with a proven history of wealth creation, strong future profitability expectations, and attractive valuations. The Jupiter Origin strategy is built on a rigorous, evidence-based screening process. Starting with a universe of 5,000 stocks, the team applies a mechanical filter based on metrics they believe will lead to outperformance. The final portfolio has over 90% active share compared to the benchmark. While macroeconomic conditions do not drive the team's decisions, Randhawa acknowledged that the current environment — particularly falling interest rates and valuation gaps between small and large caps — is supportive for smaller companies. Discussing the team's background, he noted that the core members have worked together for 25 years, with 15 years of experience in global small caps. The team of five maintains a disciplined, collaborative process to reduce behavioural biases and maintain consistency in strategy execution.

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the global potash supply landscape and the company's continued progress on its flagship potash project in Gabon. Abasov highlighted the strategic importance of potash as a critical input for global food security and underscored the vulnerabilities faced by countries that rely heavily on imports. Abasov noted that the United States currently imports approximately 97% of its potash requirements, with the majority coming from Canada and smaller volumes sourced from Russia and other regions. “If we're talking about food security and diversifying critical minerals supply chains, then potash specifically is one of the most important things,” he said, emphasizing the geopolitical and economic risks tied to concentrated global supply. He explained that Millennial Potash's project in Gabon is uniquely positioned along the Atlantic coast, providing significant logistical and economic advantages. The project's proximity to deep-water port infrastructure allows for efficient export to major agricultural markets, including the United States, Brazil, and across Africa. Abasov added that the project's low-cost structure and favorable geography place the company in a strong competitive position within the global potash market. Abasov also discussed broader trends impacting the fertilizer industry, including rising global demand and the increasing difficulty of developing large-scale potash projects. He referenced recent budget overruns at major industry developments, including those reported by BHP, as evidence of escalating capital costs across the sector. In contrast, he noted that Millennial Potash's use of solution mining technology materially reduces both capital intensity and environmental impact compared with conventional underground mining methods. The company has now formally initiated its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), marking a key transition from exploration into the development phase of the project. Abasov confirmed that the ESIA will be conducted in accordance with International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and will serve as a critical component of Millennial Potash's future mining application. With global fertilizer markets under pressure, supply chains tightening, and food security emerging as a growing strategic priority, Abasov said Millennial Potash is advancing its Gabon project at a time when new, sustainable potash supply is increasingly vital to global agriculture. #proactiveinvestors #millennialpotahscorp #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf #potash #CriticalMinerals #Potash #USGeologicalSurvey #FertilizerIndustry #USDFC #FoodSecurity #ResourceEstimates #MiningNews #GabonProjects #ProactiveInvestors

Zoomcar Holdings Chairman Uri Levine joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss how the company is addressing major mobility challenges across emerging markets with its peer-to-peer car-sharing platform. Levine described Zoomcar as the “Airbnb for cars,” offering flexible transportation solutions in regions where private vehicle ownership remains limited and traditional rental options are often expensive or inaccessible. “In emerging markets, the ratio of vehicles per household could be as low as 0.1,” Levine explained, underscoring the scale of unmet transportation demand. He contrasted this with the United States, where the average household owns more than two vehicles. This stark difference, he noted, creates a powerful opportunity for Zoomcar to bridge the mobility gap by making vehicles accessible on a short-term, on-demand basis. Zoomcar's business model focuses on unlocking the value of underutilized vehicles—cars that would otherwise sit idle up to 96% of the time—and connecting them with consumers who need convenient, short-term access to transportation. India currently represents Zoomcar's largest market, where the platform now hosts approximately 40,000 vehicles and serves around 10 million users. Levine emphasized the magnitude of the growth opportunity, stating that the market in India alone has the potential for 100-fold expansion over time. He noted that roughly 91% of trips on the platform are short-term rentals, typically lasting about two days. These rentals are commonly used for everyday needs such as shopping, attending events, or taking quick weekend trips, highlighting Zoomcar's role as a flexible mobility solution for daily life rather than just long-distance travel. While similar platforms, such as Turo, operate primarily in developed markets, Levine said Zoomcar's model is especially well-suited to India and other emerging economies because of the high upfront cost of vehicle ownership and limited financing options for consumers. This makes car sharing not just a convenience, but a practical necessity for a growing middle class. Levine also highlighted Zoomcar's improving financial performance, noting that the company has now achieved eight consecutive quarters of profitability and operates in 99 cities across India. Insurance coverage is structured in line with other global mobility platforms, either through third-party partnerships or self-insurance in larger markets, depending on scale and regulatory requirements. With strong user growth, expanding geographic reach, and sustained profitability, Levine said Zoomcar is well positioned to continue scaling its platform and transforming personal mobility across emerging markets. #proactiveinvestors #zoomcarholdings #otcqb #zcar #EmergingMarkets #MobilitySolutions #IndiaStartups #UriLevine #CarSharing #UrbanMobility #AutoTech #SharedEconomy #ZoomcarIndia #ProactiveInvestors

NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT, OTCQB:NSRCF) President and CEO Hanré Rossouw talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest progress at the Abu Dhabi site for its graphite processing facility. The discussion followed a recent site visit, which included local and international investors and potential financing partners. Rossouw emphasized the advantages of the facility's location in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi, citing expedited permitting, existing infrastructure, and a 60,000m² warehouse already in place. This turns the project from a traditional construction into a faster “installation project,” significantly reducing the development timeline. Key milestones in the coming months include the finalization of engineering design and securing funding. Rossouw noted that visitors were able to see “the 3D modelling already of the equipment being installed,” signalling the advanced stage of preparation. NextSource has already secured a multi-year offtake agreement with Mitsubishi Chemical for 9,000 tonnes of annual production from the facility's first phase. Discussions are underway to secure the remaining capacity of 5,000 tonnes and potentially increase output in the first phase. The facility is a cornerstone of the company's vertical integration strategy, with feedstock supplied by its Molo mine and supplemented by third-party sources.

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest drilling results from the Perry claim, highlighting a continued run of strong performance across multiple recent drill holes. Stark described the latest intercept as another significant success, noting both the growth in scale and the evolving geological interpretation of the system. “We've got a great, great hit here again, but it's double the width of 156,” Stark said, explaining that increased rock shattering has allowed gold mineralization to penetrate more broadly through the host rocks. The company has now recorded six consecutive successful drill hits down-dip to a depth of approximately 1,200 feet, maintaining a consistent step-out pattern of about 60 metres between holes. Stark explained that while the grade in hole 157 is slightly lower than the exceptionally high-grade intercept reported in hole 156, the total mineralized interval has doubled in width to an impressive 78 metres. This materially extends the footprint of the mineralized system and strengthens the case for a larger-scale deposit. He added that hole 158 has just been completed and appears to display similar geological and mineralization characteristics. High-grade gold values remain present, with assays reaching up to 13 grams per tonne in both the hanging wall and footwall. The company's understanding of the geological framework continues to sharpen with each successive drill result. Stark noted that the data reinforces the view that the mineralizing system is “extremely robust,” with strong structural evidence pointing to significant historic geological forces at work. The widths now being encountered are far greater than what is typically seen in the Oatman mining district, prompting comparisons to broader, Nevada-style gold deposits. Confidence continues to build as Arizona Gold and Silver advances its drilling program, with hole 159 already underway to further test the depth and continuity of the expanding mineralized corridor. Stark also highlighted improvements in the company's financial position. All in-the-money options have been exercised without associated selling pressure, contributing to a strengthening treasury and providing additional flexibility to support ongoing exploration and development activities. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors #perryzone #risingfawnzone #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #ArizonaGoldAndSilver #MiningNews #SilvertonProject #GoldExploration #JointVentureOpportunity #NevadaMining #DrillPermit

Middlefield International President and CEO Dean Orrico talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the outlook for the Middlefield Canadian Enhanced Income UCITS ETF as 2026 approaches. The ETF is weighted towards Canadian equities with a focus on energy, financials, and real estate — sectors Orrico believes offer discounted valuations and strong earnings potential. Orrico explained that Canadian stocks trade at a significant discount to the S&P 500, while still delivering consistent earnings and dividend growth. “Our portfolio, including those four sectors, has generated average dividend growth of about 7 to 8%,” he said, and expects this trend to continue into 2026. On energy, Orrico highlighted recent federal policy shifts supporting Canadian energy infrastructure, including a new pipeline and LNG facility, as well as investment in carbon capture technologies. These initiatives, he said, aim to position Canada as an “energy superpower.” He also underscored the strength and stability of Canadian banks, noting they haven't cut dividends since World War II. Real estate, particularly open-air retail, seniors housing, and industrial assets, was also highlighted as offering solid fundamentals due to constrained supply and strong population-driven demand.

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to release an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its Berenguela project in southern Peru, confirming and significantly expanding upon its previous 2023 Mineral Resources. The new estimate is based on the most comprehensive geological model of the Berenguela deposit compiled to date, materially enhancing the overall understanding of the scale, structure, and metal distribution of the deposit. Notably, approximately 90% of the company's recent 2024/2025 drilling program was conducted within the boundaries of the historic resource, allowing for meaningful resource upgrades rather than purely exploratory growth. The recent infill drilling campaign successfully converted a substantial portion of the resource from the Inferred category to the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated (M&I) category. As a result, combined M&I resources increased by 11.37 million tonnes, or 28.3%, bringing the total to 51.55 million tonnes. This upgrade materially strengthens the project's development profile by reducing geological risk and improving the reliability of future mine planning and economic studies. Contained metal within the M&I category has also increased significantly compared with the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate. Silver resources rose by 21.3 million ounces, a 21% increase, bringing total M&I silver to 122.5 million ounces, with an additional 22.0 million ounces remaining in the Inferred category. Manganese M&I resources increased to 2.93 million tonnes, with a further 0.47 million tonnes classified as Inferred. Copper M&I resources climbed to 717.1 million pounds, supported by 118.4 million pounds of Inferred copper, while zinc M&I resources reached 372.4 million pounds, along with 80 million pounds in the Inferred category. The upgrade from Inferred to M&I resulted in a corresponding decrease of 7.96 million tonnes in the total Inferred resource inventory, reflecting the improved confidence in the geological model and data density across the deposit. The updated MRE is underpinned by a robust geological database that incorporates results from 439 drill holes. This includes 82 diamond drill holes totaling 5,329 metres completed by Aftermath during the 2024/2025 drilling campaign. In total, 44,842 metres of drilling have now been completed at Berenguela, comprising 20,346 metres of diamond drilling and 24,496 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. The previous resource estimate, documented in the NI 43-101 technical report titled “Berenguela Mineral Resource Estimate NI 43-101 Aftermath Silver Ltd., Province of Lampa, Department of Puno, Peru,” was prepared by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. and carried an effective date of March 30, 2023. The new estimate builds directly on this foundation with significantly higher data density and geological confidence. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

NextEnergy Solar Fund Investment Diretor Stephen Rosser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong interim financial and operational results, as well as its strategic outlook through 2026. Rosser highlighted a period of robust performance across the portfolio, underscored by higher-than-expected solar output and disciplined asset management. During the six months to September, NextEnergy Solar Fund generated a total of 627 gigawatt hours of electricity. This outperformance was supported by solar irradiation levels that were approximately 13% ahead of forecast, resulting in overall generation exceeding expectations by 7.6%. “We generated 627 gigawatt hours in the period. Solar irradiation was about 13% ahead of forecast, which put our generation ahead by 7.6%,” Rosser said. The strong operational delivery contributed an additional £2.5 million in cash during the period. Rosser attributed this to both favourable weather conditions and the company's disciplined approach to asset management, including the proactive replacement of aging infrastructure such as inverters to maintain high levels of availability and efficiency across the portfolio. The interview also addressed recent governance developments, including the appointment of Tony Quinlan as chair following an independent board selection process. Rosser emphasized Quinlan's deep experience in the UK electricity market and renewable energy sector, describing his leadership as a valuable addition as the fund continues to execute its long-term growth and capital strategy. Rosser confirmed that NextEnergy Solar Fund has formally responded to the UK government's ROC/FiT consultation, urging that no changes be made to legacy renewable support schemes. He noted that any retrospective adjustments could undermine investor confidence and potentially increase costs for consumers across the energy system. Looking ahead, Rosser discussed the company's ongoing strategic review and its continued focus on maintaining a disciplined capital structure and active capital recycling, now entering its fourth phase. He also pointed to the fund's strong income track record, with a total of £419.0 million in dividends declared or paid to shareholders since the fund's IPO. Together, these factors position NextEnergy Solar Fund to continue delivering stable returns while navigating a changing energy and regulatory landscape. #proactiveinvestors #nextenergysolarfund #nesf #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #StephenRosser #InvestmentFunds #GreenEnergy #CleanPower2030 #UKEnergyMarket #SustainableInvesting #DividendStocks

Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress in signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with ASIC manufacturers, marking the third such agreement in recent months. These agreements, Gardin explained, reflect deep industry interest and rigorous due diligence processes from potential partners. The company has prioritized the software version of its Method C AI Oracle software, enabling a faster commercial rollout than the hardware version. Gardin said, “Thanks to our AI development team, they came up with the software version, which means that we can install this version on the operating system, reducing deployment time to weeks rather than a year and a half.” This software approach allows for integration into existing systems without altering hardware, positioning Quantum Blockchain Technologies to offer significant performance boosts to mining operations. Gardin confirmed that these NDAs have taken months of engagement, highlighting the thorough assessment from large organisations. He noted that while initial reactions to their technology were skeptical, “Then we show the numbers and they start to say, maybe that's not really impossible.” The company is exploring multiple revenue avenues, including licensing fees per system sold, share of hash rates, or even direct mining. Gardin also addressed the company's intellectual property strategy, noting a selective approach to patent filings in order to protect proprietary discoveries over the long term.

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX) CEO James Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's stronger-than-expected performance for 2025 and strategic plans going into 2026. Carter said that EBITDA will be significantly ahead of market expectations, while revenue remains broadly in line. He highlighted how Digitalbox has “delivered all that we set out to deliver, more efficiently than we perhaps planned to at the beginning of the year,” noting that the business has remained agile in challenging conditions. A key factor in the company's growth was the success of its vertical strategy, particularly through launches such as Royal Insider and Reality Shrine, which have helped it build valuable US audiences. These audiences tend to monetise at roughly twice the rate of UK users. Digitalbox is also seeing promising returns from its platform business. According to Carter, platform revenue is expected to reach around £1 million, up from near-zero levels just a few years ago. He said, “We're looking at opportunities that enable us to extend our own platform business as well as our open web business”. Another growth area is TV Guide, a property the company acquired and modernised. By improving its mobile experience and introducing new content sections, Digitalbox has doubled the site's size over two years, with around 50% of traffic now coming from Google. On M&A, Carter said the company is considering opportunities aligned with its entertainment-focused model, as well as potential diversification.

Gunnison Copper Corp Chief Operating Officer Robert Winton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone at the Johnson Camp mine in Arizona, where Rio Tinto has successfully produced its first copper using the company's proprietary Nuton® bioleaching technology. The achievement marks a pivotal step forward in the commercial development and validation of this next-generation copper processing method. Winton told Proactive that after more than three decades of research and development, the first copper cathode produced with Nuton's bioleaching process was successfully generated last month at the Johnson Camp mine. The technology deployment includes the design and delivery of a full heap leach technology package that is expected to target production of approximately 30,000 tonnes of refined copper over a four-year demonstration period. Rio Tinto is also actively engaging with several potential customers across the United States as part of its efforts to support and strengthen the domestic copper supply chain. Nuton technology uses naturally occurring microorganisms to extract copper from primary sulphide materials, which are traditionally among the most difficult ores to process using conventional methods. These microbes accelerate the oxidation of the mineralized material, generating heat and enabling copper to dissolve into a leach solution, which is then recovered and processed into 99.99% pure copper cathode. One of the most significant advantages of the Nuton process is that it eliminates the need for traditional concentration, smelting, and refining. This shortens supply chains and allows refined copper cathode to be produced directly at the mine gate. The technology can achieve copper recovery rates of up to 85% from primary sulphides, which represent the most abundant copper-bearing materials globally. In addition to improving recoveries, Nuton has the potential to extend mine life and maximize overall resource utilization by extracting economic value from mineralized material that would otherwise be classified as waste. This capability can increase both yield and revenue at new developments as well as at existing mining operations. From an environmental standpoint, Nuton is expected to significantly outperform conventional copper processing routes, with up to 80% less water usage and as much as 60% lower carbon emissions compared to the traditional concentrator-smelter pathway. While the first copper production confirms the engineering design and operational viability of the Nuton system, Winton noted that the next phase of the project will focus on validating the long-term technical performance of the technology under sustained operating conditions. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf r #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #MiningInvestment #CommodityMarkets #CopperProduction #ArizonaMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CopperDemand #MetalsAndMining

American Resources Corp CFO Kirk Taylor joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has secured a $5 million inventory line of credit with Old National Bank, a financing milestone that strengthens its ability to scale critical mineral operations. The new credit facility will enable American Resources to finance the acquisition of end-of-life materials, manufacturing scrap, ores, and concentrates that will be processed into high-value mineral feedstocks. These feedstocks will be supplied to ReElement Technologies, American Resources' minority-owned subsidiary and a leading U.S.-based refiner, for advanced separation, purification, and refinement into domestically produced, high-purity rare earth and critical mineral products. The financing is designed to directly support the rapid expansion of material flowing into ReElement's refining platform. Taylor told Proactive that the agreement provides the company with greater liquidity and operational flexibility, allowing American Resources to accelerate its feedstock acquisition strategy while expanding the volume and diversity of material entering the processing stream. He emphasized that the credit facility aligns with the company's broader strategy to build a resilient, U.S.-based supply chain for rare earths and other strategic materials. Through its affiliation with ReElement Technologies, American Resources has already validated its ability to extract and concentrate rare earth elements from a wide range of input materials. These include coal-based byproducts, end-of-life permanent magnet materials, lithium-ion battery waste, and various forms of manufacturing scrap. This diversified feedstock capability positions the company to respond to growing domestic demand for critical minerals used in clean energy, defense, and advanced manufacturing. The agreement with Old National Bank represents another meaningful step in advancing a circular, U.S. based critical mineral economy. Together, American Resources, ReElement Technologies, and Old National Bank are accelerating the recovery, refinement, and reuse of essential materials that underpin America's industrial base, strengthen national security, and enhance long-term economic competitiveness. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials

Vista Gold CEO Fred Earnest joined Steve Darling from Proactive to outline the company's updated development strategy for its flagship Mt Todd Gold Project in Australia, following the release of a new feasibility study that redefines the scale, economics, and execution pathway for the project. Earnest explained that the project has been rescaled to a more streamlined and manageable production rate of 15,000 tonnes per day, reflecting a focused and highly executable development approach. The updated feasibility study assumes a gold price of US$2,500 per ounce and delivers a post-tax NPV5 of approximately US$1.1 billion, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of nearly 28%. At a higher gold price of US$3,300 per ounce, the projected economics strengthen significantly, with the post-tax NPV5 increasing to roughly US$2.2 billion and the IRR approaching 45%. “This feasibility study represents a completely new vision for how we can advance and develop Mt Todd,” Earnest said, noting that the revised plan improves capital efficiency while maintaining the project's long-life production potential and strong financial metrics. Work at the site is already progressing, with metallurgical drilling underway and ongoing site management activities continuing through the Australian wet season. In parallel, Vista Gold is updating and adjusting its existing permits to ensure they align with the newly defined development plan and operating scale. To support the next phase of advancement, the company has begun recruiting a dedicated core team in Australia to manage the Mt Todd project locally, transitioning oversight from its Denver-based headquarters to an on-the-ground operational structure. This move is intended to enhance project execution, regulatory engagement, and stakeholder coordination. Looking ahead, Vista Gold expects to initiate detailed engineering work in late 2026. The company is targeting a 27-month development timeline from the start of engineering through to the commencement of gold production, positioning Mt Todd as a potential near-term, high-impact gold development in the Australian market. #proactiveinvestors #vistagoldcorp #nyseamerican #tsx #vgz #MtTodd #GoldMining #MiningAustralia #FeasibilityStudy #GoldInvesting #MiningStocks #GoldProduction #JuniorMining #ResourceDevelopment

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) chief scientific officer Dr Hella Kohlhof talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's research and clinical progress in treating multiple sclerosis (MS) with its lead compound, vidofludimus calcium. Kohlhof highlighted the significance of discussing MS research on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, emphasising the long-term impact the disease has on young adults. She noted that one of the primary challenges for patients is the gradual loss of independence due to ongoing disease progression. Kohlhof said: "Multiple sclerosis gradually takes away your ability...like walking, remembering, focusing on things and managing everyday tasks." She stressed the importance of shifting focus from managing short-term relapses to addressing long-term disability progression. Immunic's lead compound, vidofludimus calcium, aims to protect nerve cell function in the brain and spinal cord. According to Kohlhof, the therapy has shown encouraging clinical readouts, including reductions in nerve damage and signs of slowing or halting disease progression — even in the absence of relapses. Kohlhof outlined three potential levels of treatment success: delaying progression, halting worsening, and improving patients' abilities. Notably, some patients in Immunic's trials showed improvement in function over time, with long-term data suggesting the compound may reduce the risk of confirmed disability worsening over five and a half years of treatment.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results from the company's Kavango West 1X exploration well, located on Petroleum Exploration Licence 73 in onshore Namibia. The well delivered encouraging results, encountering approximately 400 metres of gross hydrocarbon-bearing section within the Otavi carbonate interval, as identified by wireline logging data. Reinsborough told Proactive that detailed evaluation of the logs confirms 64 net metres of hydrocarbon pay, supported by both wireline interpretation and strong mud log anomalies. In addition, the company identified a further 61 metres (approximately 200 feet) of hydrocarbon shows in deeper intervals. These zones are interpreted to contain naturally fractured limestone reservoirs, a geological feature that could significantly enhance the flow potential and overall deliverability of hydrocarbons. Following these positive results, ReconAfrica's forward program will now focus on comprehensive well testing to establish commercial flow rates from the most prospective intervals. The company will proceed with testing due to the strong indications of hydrocarbon-saturated reservoirs across multiple zones, based on the combined evidence from wireline logs, oil and gas shows, and interpreted natural fracture systems within the limestone units. A production test is planned to evaluate the deliverability characteristics of the key intervals within the Otavi carbonate section. The test will be conducted using 5-inch production casing and Tubing-Conveyed Perforations (TCP), allowing the company to selectively perforate specific pay zones. These selections will be based on intervals where hydrocarbon pay has been confirmed on wireline logs and where the most significant oil and gas shows were observed. Reinsborough noted that the upcoming testing phase represents an important next step in determining the commercial potential of the Kavango West 1X well and further advancing ReconAfrica's exploration efforts across the broader Kavango Basin in Namibia. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for TNX-102 SL, enabling Tonix to begin clinical development of the drug for major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. Dr. Lederman explained that the IND clearance allows Tonix to initiate the potentially pivotal Phase 2 HORIZON study — a 6-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating TNX-102 SL as a first-line monotherapy. The study will enroll approximately 360 adults across about 30 U.S. clinical sites. Participants must be 18 years or older and currently experiencing a moderate to severe major depressive episode. The trial will compare TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg, taken sublingually at bedtime, against placebo. The primary endpoint is change from baseline at Week 6 on the MADRS or Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale total score. Secondary measures include global impression scores, anxiety assessments, and indicators of sleep disturbance. Tonix expects to begin enrolling patients in mid-2026. Dr. Lederman emphasized the significant need for new treatment options in MDD — a serious and widespread psychiatric condition affecting more than 21 million adults in the United States each year. Symptoms commonly include persistent sadness or loss of interest, sleep and appetite disruption, fatigue, impaired concentration, and feelings of worthlessness. These symptoms must be present for at least two weeks and cause meaningful impairment to daily life. Tonix aims to advance TNX-102 SL as a novel therapeutic option to address this substantial unmet medical need. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #Biotech #kidneydisease #massachusettsgeneralhospital #massgeneral #VaccineDevelopment #ClinicalTrials #PharmaceuticalNews #MedicalResearch #WHO #GlobalHealth #InfectiousDiseases #Biopharma #DepressionTreatment #TNX102SL #MajorDepressiveDisorder #MentalHealthInnovation #SleepTherapy #FDAApproval #BiotechNews

Lantern Pharma CEO Panna Sharma joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest clinical milestone and its broader mission to transform oncology drug development through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and genomic data. Lantern's proprietary RADR® AI platform integrates billions of biological and clinical data points to identify predictive biomarkers, forecast drug response, and design more targeted and efficient clinical trials aimed at delivering precision cancer therapies to patients. The company announced additional details from its recently completed Phase 1a dose-escalation study of LP-184, its lead drug candidate. The trial produced encouraging results, demonstrating durable disease control in 63 heavily pre-treated patients with advanced solid tumors, many of which exhibited deficiencies in DNA damage repair pathways—an area where LP-184 is designed to be particularly effective. Sharma told Proactive that the Phase 1a study successfully met all primary endpoints for safety and tolerability, while also clearly establishing a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). He emphasized that these outcomes validate both the scientific rationale behind LP-184 and the predictive capabilities of Lantern's AI-driven development approach. Building on these positive results, Lantern Pharma is now advancing an ambitious precision oncology strategy that includes multiple biomarker-guided Phase 1b/2 clinical trials. These studies will target major cancer indications such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), non-small cell lung cancer, and advanced bladder cancer. The commercial potential for LP-184 is significant. Lantern and independent industry analysts estimate that the aggregate annual market opportunity for the drug across these and additional targeted indications could exceed $10 billion. Preclinical models have shown nanomolar potency, while early clinical data indicate encouraging durability of response even in heavily pre-treated patient populations. LP-184 has also received important regulatory recognition from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, including Fast Track Designation for TNBC and GBM, as well as Orphan Drug Designation for malignant gliomas, pancreatic cancer, and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT). Sharma noted that these designations support an accelerated development pathway as Lantern continues to move LP-184 toward later-stage clinical trials. #proactiveinvestors #laternpharma #nasdaq #ltrn #LanternPharma #PannaSharma #PrecisionOncology #CancerResearch #AIinHealthcare #MachineLearning #Genomics #ClinicalTrials #BiotechNews #OncologyInnovation #LP184 #Phase1a #Phase2Trials #BiomarkerDriven #TripleNegativeBreastCancer #Glioblastoma #LungCancer #BladderCancer #OrphanDrug #FastTrackDesignation #FDA #PrecisionMedicine

Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce positive results from ongoing test work evaluating the recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from primary lithium leach solutions generated at the company's Angel Island lithium project in Nevada. Initial testing shows that high REE recoveries can be achieved without any negative impact on lithium recovery, marking a significant technical advancement for the project. Willoughby told Proactive that producing a secondary REE-rich product could materially strengthen the overall economics of the Angel Island project while also aligning the company with broader U.S. government and industry initiatives aimed at securing resilient North American critical-mineral supply chains. Century Lithium has previously confirmed that leach solutions derived from Angel Island claystone contain meaningful concentrations of several high-value rare earth elements, including dysprosium, gadolinium, neodymium, and praseodymium. The solutions also contain elevated levels of critical metals such as scandium, lanthanum, and cerium, along with the presence of cesium. Recent ion-exchange test work achieved greater than 97% recovery of the identified REEs and critical metals, excluding cesium, while maintaining complete selectivity against lithium. This lithium selectivity is essential for preserving the integrity of the company's downstream lithium recovery process, which includes ultrafiltration, direct lithium extraction, and subsequent steps required to produce high-purity lithium carbonate. Willoughby emphasized that these results represent a major technical milestone, demonstrating that REE extraction and recovery can be integrated into the Angel Island flowsheet without compromising Century Lithium's core lithium production process. Century Lithium believes these advancements position the company to potentially become a dual supplier of both lithium and rare earth elements to North American critical-mineral markets. Management noted that this dual-output capability could significantly enhance long-term project value, strengthen supply-chain resilience, and further support the strategic importance of Angel Island in the electrification and advanced manufacturing sectors. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining#rareearthmetals #ree #mining #AngelIsland #LithiumProject #RareEarthElements

Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley and Chairman David Hobbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a detailed operational update on the company's flagship Dubhe-1 well, outlining steady progress in well clean-up operations and encouraging early flowback performance in Alaska. Hobbs said the well is tracking firmly “within the envelope of expectation,” emphasizing that while it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions, operations to date have progressed smoothly and in line with technical forecasts. He stressed that further data will be required before firm performance metrics can be established, adding, “The well will speak,” underscoring the importance of patience as the reservoir continues to stabilize and respond. Additional operational updates are expected over the coming weeks as more flowback data is collected. Easley provided further insight into the early production phase, explaining that visible flaring began shortly after oil started flowing, with motorists along the Dalton Highway quickly noticing the flare. He confirmed that the flare has been continuous since flow commenced, indicating sustained production activity. Easley reiterated that the current phase is focused on well stabilization rather than peak output, with oil volumes gradually increasing in a manner consistent with expectations at this early stage. The company also revised its cost guidance for the Dubhe-1 well from the previously estimated $25 million to approximately $33 million. Easley explained that the increase was largely driven by additional appraisal-related initiatives undertaken during the program, including the drilling of a pilot hole to help confirm the scale of newly identified resources. This additional work is estimated to have contributed approximately 200 million barrels to Pantheon's total resource base. Easley also highlighted the operational efficiency achieved by the drilling and completion team, noting that completion activities were executed in just seven days — a significant improvement compared to the 28 days required for similar operations in earlier projects. This reduction reflects advancements in planning, execution, and technical performance. Looking ahead, Hobbs said the company expects to reach approximately 50% flowback within the next two to three weeks, which will provide more meaningful insight into the well's production behavior. Both Easley and Hobbs expressed confidence in the asset's potential based on results observed so far and reiterated that the Dubhe-1 well remains a key catalyst in Pantheon Resources' broader Alaskan development strategy. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #Dubhe1 #AlaskaOil #OilAndGasDevelopment #EnergyStocks #NaturalGas #AlaskaEnergy #OilExploration #OilProduction #PantheonDrilling #InvestingInOil

EMV Capital (AIM:EMVC) CEO Dr Ilian Iliev and Marvine Besong, MD and CTO of EMV portfolio company DeepTech Recycling, talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's breakthrough plastic recycling technology and how it supports a circular economy. Besong explained that traditional recycling methods, such as mechanical recycling, often degrade the quality of plastics and can only process a narrow range of materials. In contrast, DeepTech Recycling uses a process that converts plastics back into oil. “This process can be repeated over and over again without the loss of quality,” he said. This approach allows for the creation of new, high-quality plastics from waste, significantly expanding the types of plastics that can be recycled and reused. The company is currently focusing on commercial applications in the plastic packaging sector, which accounts for around 40–45% of global plastic waste. Iliev said the company's "Venture Build" program is centred on supporting IP-rich, disruptive technologies with scalable potential. He added that DeepTech Recycling's capital-light structure, which separates project funding from core IP and licensing, offers potential for substantial non-dilutive returns to investors.

Panthera Resources CEO Mark Bolton joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC Studio in New York City to discuss the company's ongoing focus on international arbitration linked to its Bhukia Gold Project in India. Bolton explained that, while Panthera is fundamentally a gold exploration company with assets spanning West Africa and India, its primary value driver at present lies in its legal action under the Australia-India bilateral investment treaty. The company is pursuing a substantial $1.58 billion claim against the Indian government, positioning the arbitration as a potential game-changer for shareholder value. “The focus right now is essentially on pursuing a bilateral investment treaty claim and arbitration,” Bolton said, highlighting that the legal process has been ongoing for three years and is now well-advanced. A hearing has been scheduled for December 2026, with several procedural milestones already established. Bolton underscored that this timing could present a unique entry point for investors: “This is actually a really good time for investors to get involved,” he added. In addition to its legal pursuits, Panthera is actively increasing its visibility among U.S. investors. The company recently achieved a listing on the OTCQB under the ticker PATRF, a move driven by strong investor demand rather than corporate necessity, according to Bolton. Outside of the arbitration, Panthera continues to manage and develop its exploration assets in West Africa, with further updates expected as projects progress. The combination of ongoing litigation potential and core exploration operations, Bolton noted, provides multiple avenues for value creation for investors. #proactiveinvestors #aim #pat #otcqb #payrf #mining #westafrica #GoldExploration #BhukiaProject #MiningNews #IndiaArbitration #InvestorUpdate #GoldMining #OTCQB #MiningLitigation #WestAfricaMining #ProactiveInvestors

Trust Stamp EVP John Bridge joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a new turnkey solution aimed at preventing violent, crypto-focused home invasions commonly known as “wrench attacks.” The announcement follows a recent high-profile incident in San Francisco in which a criminal posing as a delivery driver restrained a homeowner and forced the transfer of approximately $11 million in cryptocurrency. The case highlights a growing global trend of attacks involving kidnappings, physical violence, and coercion to steal digital assets. Bridge explained that these crimes exploit a fundamental weakness in today's digital-asset ecosystem: even the strongest wallet security can be defeated if a victim is physically forced to authorize a transaction. Once assets are transferred under duress, they are typically irreversible and unrecoverable, making crypto holders attractive targets for organized criminal activity. Trust Stamp believes this rising threat can be effectively addressed through the integration of its patented StableKey technology. StableKey is a quantum-ready, embedded-identity algorithm that cryptographically binds a digital asset to its rightful owner. According to Bridge, this binding renders any coerced transfer economically worthless to attackers, without creating a direct or traceable link to the owner's personal biometric identity. The StableKey solution introduces what Trust Stamp describes as a major breakthrough in digital asset security. Under this framework, digital assets—including stablecoins, tokenized deposits, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), NFTs, and other on-chain instruments—can be embedded with cryptographic identity binding. Ownership is tied to an irreversibly transformed biometric marker of the legitimate holder, ensuring the asset cannot be effectively exploited if transferred under duress. Bridge emphasized that this approach shifts security from simple access control to true ownership validation, providing a powerful new layer of protection for individuals, financial institutions, and regulators. Trust Stamp positions StableKey as a critical infrastructure solution designed to address the growing convergence of real-world violence and digital financial crime, while maintaining privacy and regulatory compliance in an increasingly tokenized economy. #proactiveinvestors #truststamp #nasdaq #idai #IdentityTech #DigitalIdentity #Fintech #GhanaID #SouthKoreaStartup #AsiaExpansion #KStartupChallenge #FinancialServices #Biometrics #TechExpansion #ProactiveInvestors #AndrewGowasack #wallet #TSI3 wallet #biometrics #DigitalIdentity #CryptoWallet #BiometricWallet #StableIT2 #DeFiSecurity #KYC #CryptoRecovery #LostCryptoKeys #Stablecoin #BlockchainTechnology #Web3

Blockmate Ventures Chairman Domenic Carosa joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company's portfolio business, Hivello Holdings, has entered into a strategic partnership with Naoris Protocol to integrate quantum-resistant cybersecurity into the Hivello platform. The collaboration is designed to future-proof user earnings and establish a new benchmark for security across decentralized infrastructure networks. Carosa explained that quantum security represents the next major frontier in cybercrime prevention. As quantum computing capabilities continue to advance, they pose a growing threat to the cryptographic foundations that currently protect global digital systems. Traditional encryption methods that secure financial data, blockchain networks, and digital infrastructure could eventually be broken by sufficiently powerful quantum processors, exposing critical systems to unprecedented risk. Through its partnership with Naoris Protocol, Hivello has taken a significant step forward in addressing this emerging threat. The integration of Naoris's quantum-resistant cybersecurity framework positions Hivello as the world's first quantum-resistant DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) earning platform. The upgrade enhances protection for node operators, secures the value layer of DePIN rewards, and places Hivello at the forefront of future-proofed decentralized compute infrastructure. For users and enterprise participants, the partnership delivers frictionless earning opportunities with zero-compromise security and built-in compliance across Web3 infrastructure protocols. Under the new framework, every connected device can function both as a passive income generator and as an active component of a global cyber-defense network. Carosa added that the enhanced platform provides a secure-by-design, infinitely scalable foundation for supporting real-world applications across the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, fintech, and artificial intelligence. By combining decentralized earning with quantum-resistant protection, Hivello and Naoris aim to set a new standard for security and resilience in the rapidly expanding DePIN ecosystem. #Hivello #DePIN #Blockchain #Crypto #PassiveIncome #Web3 #Bitcoin #swarmnetwork #BlockmateVentures #DomenicCarosa #CryptoMining #BitcoinNews #AIInfrastructure #EnergyProjects #WyomingMining #ProactiveInvestors #DigitalAssets #cybersecurity
