Lumos Diagnostics CEO Doug Ward joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's recent achievement of CLIA waiver status and the growing adoption of its FebriDx® rapid diagnostic test across the United States. Ward said FebriDx® is now being used at more than 100 healthcare locations across 18 states, including urgent care clinics, primary care practices, concierge medicine providers, and collegiate health centers. The rapid point-of-care test uses a simple fingerstick blood sample to help clinicians differentiate between bacterial infections and non-bacterial causes of illness, supporting faster treatment decisions and reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. The rollout follows the company's receipt of CLIA waiver status, which significantly expands access to the test by allowing its use in a wider range of healthcare settings. As respiratory infections remain highly seasonal, Lumos is currently focused on onboarding new customers, integrating FebriDx® into clinical workflows, and preparing healthcare providers ahead of the upcoming respiratory season. Ward noted that establishing reimbursement pathways remains a key priority. The company reported that more than 90% of submitted reimbursement claims have been paid to date, with average payments exceeding the Medicare benchmark of US$41.38 per test. Lumos is using the traditionally slower spring and summer testing period to build market awareness, support pilot programs, expand customer adoption, and further demonstrate the clinical and economic value of FebriDx® in real-world healthcare environments. Management believes the growing adoption of FebriDx® highlights increasing demand for rapid, actionable diagnostic tools that can improve patient care, support antibiotic stewardship efforts, and enhance operational efficiency at the point of care. #proactiveinvestors #lumosdiagnosticsholdings #asx #ldx #otc #ldxhf #FebriDx #PointOfCare #HealthcareInnovation #Diagnostics #PointOfCareTesting #MedicalTechnology #AntibioticStewardship #Healthcare #RapidTesting #MedTech

Flow Metals Corp CEO Scott Sheldon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's flagship Sixty Mile Gold Project in Yukon and ongoing exploration efforts at its New Brenda copper project in British Columbia. Sheldon highlighted Sixty Mile as a compelling exploration opportunity located within one of Yukon's historic placer gold districts. While the region has produced significant placer gold over many years, the primary bedrock source of that mineralization remains largely undiscovered. According to Sheldon, the project benefits from a combination of “legacy, scale and momentum.” Over several years, Flow Metals has consolidated approximately 140 square kilometres of prospective ground and applied modern geological interpretation techniques to extensive historical exploration data. This work has helped identify multiple drill targets across a large gold-bearing trend. The company has also expanded its land position through acquisitions and strategic staking, increasing its control over a major thrust fault corridor to approximately 20 kilometres of strike length. Management believes this structure served as a key pathway for mineralizing fluids and could play an important role in localizing gold deposits. Importantly, Flow Metals has secured a Class 3 exploration permit that allows for significant drilling activity over the coming years. While the company has not yet secured financing for a drill program, Sheldon noted that the project is drill-ready and positioned for future advancement. The discussion also covered the New Brenda copper project in British Columbia, where Flow Metals is evaluating a potential blind copper porphyry system using geophysical surveys while continuing permitting activities. The company believes the project hosts characteristics consistent with large-scale porphyry mineralization and remains a key component of its exploration portfolio. With advanced permitting, expanded land holdings, and multiple exploration targets identified, Flow Metals believes both Sixty Mile and New Brenda offer significant discovery potential as it advances its exploration strategy. #proactiveinvestors #flowmetalscorp #cse #fwm #newbrenda #SixtyMileGold #GoldExploration #CopperExploration #YukonMining #BritishColumbiaMining #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #PorphyryCopper #ResourceExploration

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the outlook for North America's midstream energy sector, highlighting strong long-term growth drivers including LNG exports, rising electricity demand, and the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centres. Morris described midstream companies as the “shipping and handling function of the energy value chain,” operating critical infrastructure such as pipelines, storage terminals, export facilities, and natural gas processing plants. Unlike many energy producers, midstream operators typically generate stable, fee-based cash flows through long-term contracts that often include inflation-linked pricing, providing greater earnings visibility and less direct exposure to commodity price volatility. The discussion also explored the impact of global geopolitical developments, with Morris noting that both the United States and Canada are increasingly viewed as reliable energy suppliers. She highlighted continued growth in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, supported by expanding export capacity and a robust pipeline of future projects designed to meet rising global demand for natural gas. Artificial intelligence emerged as another major growth catalyst. Morris explained that hyperscale data centre operators are increasingly turning to natural gas-fired power generation due to its reliability and ability to meet the significant energy demands associated with AI infrastructure. As a result, many data centre developers are working directly with midstream companies to secure fuel supply, transportation, and infrastructure connections. Looking ahead, Morris pointed to several key drivers supporting continued sector growth, including increasing electricity consumption, coal-to-gas switching, industrial electrification, LNG export expansion, and improving expectations for North American oil production. These trends are contributing to strong project backlogs and capital investment opportunities across the midstream industry. “This space is more about playing the volumes than the actual commodity price,” Morris said, emphasizing that long-term demand growth for natural gas and energy infrastructure remains the primary investment thesis for many midstream companies. With stable business models, growing infrastructure demand, and multiple long-term growth catalysts, Morris believes the North American midstream sector remains well-positioned to benefit from evolving energy markets and increasing demand for reliable energy transportation and processing services. #proactiveinvestors #MidstreamEnergy #EnergyETF #NaturalGas #LNG #EnergyInfrastructure #EnergyMarkets #DataCenters #ArtificialIntelligence #Pipelines #EnergyInvesting #NorthAmericaEnergy

Thistle Resources Inc. CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new drill results from the company's Middle River Gold Project in New Brunswick's Bathurst Mining Camp.The company reported certified assay results from drill hole 21TRC-AU007, which returned 1.65 g/t gold over 20.71 metres, including a higher-grade interval of 3.36 g/t gold over 7.82 metres. The hole was drilled in the northeastern extension of the mineralized fold trend and reached a depth of 74 metres. Cruikshank said drilling completed to date has identified a continuous mineralized zone extending from surface to approximately 130 metres depth. Results from two drill programs have consistently returned broad, high-grade gold intersections, supporting both the grade and continuity of the deposit. The company also noted that geophysical work conducted by EarthEx Geoscience Solutions and Abitibi Geophysics has identified more than 50 high-priority drill target centres along the seven-kilometre mineralized trend, representing hundreds of potential drill locations. Required permits are already in place for future exploration. Thistle's long-term objective is to define more than 2 million ounces of gold across the Middle River trend. The planned 2026 drilling campaign will focus on expanding the known mineralized footprint while testing deeper high-chargeability targets identified through geophysical surveys. Management believes the combination of encouraging drill results, extensive exploration targets, and a large-scale mineralized system provides significant potential for future resource growth at Middle River. Beyond Middle River, Thistle is preparing to advance exploration at its Brunswick Antimony project, where upcoming drone surveys and trenching programs are planned to evaluate high-grade antimony mineralisation alongside gold and silver potential. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiningIssuer #PublicMarkets #GoldExploration #MiddleRiver #GoldMining #MiningNews #NewBrunswickMining #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #GoldStocks #MiningInvestment

Atossa Therapeutics CEO Steven Quayjoined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the continued advancement of the company's lead investigational therapy, (Z)-Endoxifen, and its potential applications across multiple breast cancer indications as well as certain rare diseases. The discussion highlighted the scientific foundation of the program, recent clinical data presentations, and key milestones expected in the months ahead. Quay explained that Atossa Therapeutics was founded with a clear mission focused on improving the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Central to that strategy is the development of (Z)-Endoxifen, a therapy derived from decades of clinical experience and scientific understanding surrounding tamoxifen, one of the most widely prescribed treatments for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. While tamoxifen has been a standard therapy for many years, its effectiveness depends on a patient's ability to metabolize the drug into its active form, Endoxifen. Quay noted that this process can vary significantly between individuals due to genetic differences and metabolic factors. Atossa's approach is to administer Endoxifen directly, potentially bypassing those limitations and providing more consistent therapeutic exposure across patients. According to Quay, clinical studies conducted to date have demonstrated encouraging signs of efficacy while maintaining what he described as a notably clean safety profile. The company believes the direct administration approach could offer meaningful advantages in both treatment and prevention settings. The CEO reviewed Atossa's clinical progress, noting that the company has successfully completed multiple Phase 2 clinical trials evaluating Endoxifen in various breast cancer settings. These studies have generated data supporting the continued advancement of the program and helping to define potential pathways toward later-stage development. The findings presented at ASCO generated considerable interest, particularly data suggesting that Endoxifen may remain active in breast cancers that have developed mutations commonly associated with resistance to endocrine therapies. Resistance to hormonal treatments remains a significant challenge in breast cancer management, and the possibility of maintaining therapeutic activity in resistant tumors could represent an important clinical opportunity. Quay noted that feedback from oncologists, researchers, and industry participants at ASCO was highly encouraging, particularly regarding the potential implications of the resistance-related findings. Management believes these observations could help differentiate Endoxifen from existing treatment options and support future development strategies. Looking ahead, Atossa plans to consolidate results from multiple ongoing and completed clinical programs to build a comprehensive dataset supporting future regulatory discussions. The company intends to engage with regulatory authorities and potential pharmaceutical partners as it evaluates the most effective path toward Phase 3 clinical development and eventual commercialization. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #atos #BreastCancer #Endoxifen #Biotech #Oncology #ClinicalTrials #CancerResearch #ASCO #DrugDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation

Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Dr Tim Coughlin tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that drilling at Margaritas has delivered a genuine surprise: high-grade silver-antimony veins where the company expected gold-rich epithermal mineralisation, alongside a broader low-grade envelope pointing toward a larger porphyry system. Coughlin is direct about the significance: "We very clearly have a standalone mine potential project there for silver and antimony." With high-grade veins at Margaritas and a growing porphyry cluster at Güíntar four kilometres to the north, geological evidence is beginning to suggest the two systems may be connected. Vectoring studies integrating geochemical data, geophysics and planned airborne surveys are now underway to locate the primary source of the hydrothermal system and refine targets for the next phase of drilling.

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the start of a 27-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the company's Silverton gold-antimony project in Nevada. The campaign is designed to evaluate high-grade antimony mineralization near surface while also advancing the company's exploration model that suggests the project may overlie a larger concealed gold system at depth. Stark explained that recent geological work has strengthened the company's belief that the antimony-rich mineralization exposed at surface may represent the upper expression of a deeper carbonate-hosted gold deposit. This interpretation is supported by several geological indicators commonly associated with major gold systems, including widespread silicification, decalcification, jasperoid development, elevated arsenic-antimony-mercury pathfinder geochemistry, anomalous gold values, and a significant conductive magnetotelluric (MT) anomaly identified approximately one kilometre beneath the surface. The new drilling program will focus initially on testing high-grade antimony-bearing quartz-stibnite veins that have been identified through both historic exploration efforts and recent surface sampling programs. Management believes these veins could represent a valuable standalone critical minerals opportunity while also providing important clues about the potential existence of a larger gold-bearing system below. The drilling campaign will comprise 27 reverse circulation holes drilled from 17 separate drill pads strategically positioned across the project area. Most of the holes are expected to range between 30 and 45 metres in depth and are specifically designed to evaluate the continuity, grade, and extent of near-surface antimony mineralization. In addition to the shallow antimony-focused holes, Arizona Gold & Silver plans to drill three deeper holes extending beyond approximately 150 metres. These holes will be cased to allow for potential future diamond drill extensions targeting deeper geophysical and geochemical anomalies interpreted to be prospective for Carlin-type gold mineralization. Stark noted that the project's timing is particularly favorable given growing U.S. government efforts to secure domestic supplies of critical minerals. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) classifies antimony as a critical mineral because of its importance to national security, defense manufacturing, and strategic supply chains. With global antimony production heavily concentrated outside North America, domestic sources have become increasingly important. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #GoldDrilling #BLMPermits #GoldExplorationAZ #MiningInfrastructure #DrillHole156 #JuniorGoldStocks #ArizonaMiningNews #PreciousMetalsInvesting

Chancery Royalty CEO Jeremy Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strategy of building a leading precious metals royalty business focused exclusively on gold and silver assets. Backed by a management team with decades of mine-building and operational experience, the company is positioning itself to capitalize on attractive royalty opportunities that may be overlooked by larger competitors in the sector. Gray explained that the leadership team brings an extensive track record of success in the mining industry, having previously helped develop and operate several notable gold companies and projects, including Pilar Gold, Laiva Gold in Finland, Tucano Gold, Great Panther, and Gold Road in Arizona. Having gained firsthand experience creating value through mine development and operations, the team is now applying that expertise to the royalty business model, which offers exposure to production growth while minimizing operational and capital risks. Chancery Royalty currently holds five royalty assets, one of which is already generating revenue through production. The remaining four assets are expected to advance into production over the next 12 to 18 months, creating the potential for a growing stream of royalty income as development milestones are achieved. The company's investment strategy is focused exclusively on gold and silver royalties, targeting opportunities that offer meaningful gold equivalent ounce growth potential. Gray noted that Chancery seeks assets that may not attract the attention of larger royalty companies but still possess strong fundamentals, development pathways, and the potential to generate significant long-term value. One of the company's most significant recent transactions was a US$20 million royalty agreement with KEFI Copper and Gold involving a major project in Ethiopia. Gray described the asset as “probably the best undeveloped gold mine in Africa,” highlighting its scale and development potential. The transaction is expected to add approximately 7,000 GEOs to Chancery's portfolio, representing a substantial increase in future royalty exposure. The KEFI transaction aligns with Chancery's broader growth objective of expanding its royalty portfolio from approximately 4,000 GEOs today to 20,000 GEOs within the next two years. Management believes achieving this target would significantly increase the company's revenue potential and establish a stronger foundation for long-term growth. Gray also discussed additional royalty opportunities currently under evaluation. These include recent activity involving Buxton, as well as prospective transactions in key mining jurisdictions such as Timmins, one of Canada's most prolific gold-producing districts. The company is also reviewing another near-term production royalty opportunity that could further accelerate portfolio growth.

Zephyr Energy PLC CEO Colin Harrington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an operational update on the company's Paradox Basin project in Utah, highlighting a significant milestone in the path toward first gas production. The company announced the successful completion of an in-line inspection (ILI) of its gas pipeline infrastructure, enabling the formal commencement of the regulatory approval process required to transport gas into the regional pipeline network. Harrington explained that the inspection was carried out by a specialist team operating under the supervision of Enbridge and involved a comprehensive technical assessment of approximately 20.9 miles of pipeline connecting Zephyr's Powerline Road Gas Plant to the Northwest Pipeline system. The inspection was designed to evaluate the integrity and operational readiness of the infrastructure as the company prepares to begin gas exports from its Paradox project. According to the results of the analysis, the pipeline was confirmed to be structurally sound at its current operating pressure, with no repairs required and no immediate integrity concerns identified. Management views the outcome as a major validation of the quality and condition of the infrastructure and an important step in reducing operational risk as the project moves closer to production. To accommodate the higher operating pressure required for commercial gas transportation into the Northwest Pipeline system, four short sections of the pipeline have been identified for routine visual inspection. The successful completion of the ILI process allows Zephyr to formally enter the regulatory approval phase necessary to increase operating pressure and secure authorization for gas transportation. The company expects to provide additional guidance regarding the timing of first gas production once further feedback is received from Enbridge concerning the regulatory review schedule. Beyond pipeline readiness, Zephyr continues to advance several parallel initiatives aimed at supporting long-term development of the Paradox project. Over the coming weeks, the company and its third-party infrastructure consultants plan to finalize the design and determine the initial capacity of the project's gas processing solution. These decisions are expected to play an important role in optimizing production efficiency and supporting future growth. At the same time, planning activities are underway for additional drilling operations across the Paradox project area. Management is evaluating future well locations as part of a broader strategy to increase production potential and expand resource development within the basin. #proactiveinvestors #aim #zphr #otcqb #zphrf #ZephyrEnergy #ColinHarrington #ParadoxBasin #NaturalGas #EnergySector #OilAndGas #UtahEnergy #PipelineInfrastructure #EnergyDevelopment #GasProduction #EnergyInvestment

Infrastructure Capital Advisors CEO Jay Hatfield joined Steve Darling from to discuss the launch of the firm's new QVOL ETF, outlining the investment philosophy behind the fund and how it aims to provide investors with a differentiated approach to Nasdaq-focused investing. Hatfield explained that QVOL was created to give investors exposure to high-quality growth companies listed on the Nasdaq while avoiding what he described as the “dogs of the Nasdaq” — larger companies that may have slower growth prospects or valuations that Infrastructure Capital believes do not adequately justify their future earnings potential. Rather than simply replicating the Nasdaq 100 Index, the fund employs a more selective methodology designed to identify businesses offering what Hatfield considers “growth at a reasonable price.” A key component of this process is the use of PEG ratios, which compare a company's price-to-earnings ratio with its expected earnings growth rate. According to Hatfield, this metric helps identify companies that combine strong growth potential with attractive valuations. The portfolio currently holds approximately 55 companies drawn from the Nasdaq 100 universe. Hatfield noted that the selection process excludes businesses that the firm's proprietary models view as overvalued or lacking sufficient growth characteristics. While companies such as Walmart, Costco, and Comcast may be attractive investments within other strategies, he explained that they do not necessarily fit the growth-oriented profile QVOL seeks to deliver. A major differentiator for the ETF is its income-generation strategy. Unlike many covered-call funds that write options against a broad market index, QVOL selectively writes covered calls on individual portfolio holdings. Hatfield believes this approach allows the fund to generate additional income while maintaining greater flexibility and preserving more upside participation in stocks that continue to perform well. He argued that traditional index-based covered-call strategies can often cap returns during strong market advances because they apply options broadly across the entire portfolio. By selectively targeting individual holdings based on valuation and market conditions, QVOL seeks to balance income generation with capital appreciation potential. The discussion also touched on broader market conditions and the economic outlook. Hatfield shared his view that certain segments of the economy, particularly housing and construction, are already experiencing recessionary conditions. He suggested that these trends may influence future monetary policy decisions and expressed confidence that additional interest rate increases are unlikely. According to Hatfield, easing inflation pressures and slower economic activity in key sectors could create a more favorable environment for growth-oriented equities over time. He believes investors should continue monitoring Federal Reserve policy, inflation data, and broader economic indicators as they evaluate portfolio positioning. #proactiveinvestors #QVOL #ETFInvesting #Nasdaq #GrowthStocks #CoveredCalls #IncomeInvesting #TechnologyStocks #Investing #StockMarket #InfrastructureCapital

Avanti Gold CEO Mohamed Cisse joined Steve Darling from the Canadian Securities Exchange to discuss the company's plans to significantly expand its flagship Misisi Gold Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo following the successful completion of a C$25 million financing. The funding provides the company with the resources needed to undertake one of the largest exploration programs in its history as it seeks to unlock the broader potential of the highly prospective Misisi gold belt. Cisse highlighted the quality of the project's existing resource, which currently stands at approximately 3.1 million ounces of gold grading 2.37 grams per tonne. He noted that deposits of this scale and grade are relatively uncommon among open-pit gold projects in Africa, making Misisi a particularly attractive asset within the region's mining sector. The company has now commenced an extensive 42,000-metre drilling campaign designed to expand the existing resource base, improve geological confidence, and evaluate additional exploration targets across the broader project area. The drilling program is being executed in two phases, beginning with approximately 15,000 metres focused on the Akyanga deposit, the core of the current resource. This work is intended to enhance resource continuity, improve geological understanding, and potentially support future resource upgrades. A second phase comprising approximately 27,000 metres of drilling will target step-out opportunities and new exploration areas across the broader 55-kilometre-long Misisi belt. Management believes the district-scale land package remains significantly underexplored and has the potential to host additional gold deposits beyond the current resource footprint. According to Cisse, the company's objective is not only to increase the size of the existing resource but also to demonstrate the broader scale and long-term development potential of the entire Misisi district. By systematically testing multiple targets across the belt, Avanti hopes to establish Misisi as a major gold camp capable of supporting future growth for many years. Exploration activities are already well underway, with two drill rigs currently operating on site and additional rigs expected to arrive in the coming weeks. The company has begun submitting drill core samples for laboratory analysis, and management anticipates a steady stream of assay results throughout the remainder of the year as drilling accelerates. Beyond its exploration upside, Cisse emphasized several infrastructure advantages that support the project's development potential. The Misisi project benefits from access through the regional hub of Kalemie, proximity to hydroelectric power sources, an existing airfield, and ongoing camp expansion initiatives designed to accommodate larger exploration and development teams. These logistical advantages could contribute to lower operating and development costs while supporting year-round project activities. Management believes the combination of a substantial existing resource, strong infrastructure, and significant exploration potential positions Misisi as one of the more compelling undeveloped gold projects in Central Africa. #proactiveinvestors #avantigoldcorp #cse #agc #otcqb #avtgf #mining #GoldMining #MisisiProject #DRCMining #GoldExploration #MiningNews #ResourceGrowth #ExplorationDrilling #GoldStocks #MiningInvestment

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company, together with its partners NAMCOR and BW Energy, has commenced production testing operations at the Kavango West 1X (KW1X) well in Namibia's highly prospective Damara Fold Belt. Reinsborough described the testing program as a critical milestone in evaluating the commercial viability of the Kavango discovery and advancing understanding of the broader hydrocarbon potential within the Damara Fold Belt. The program has been specifically designed to assess hydrocarbon phase, reservoir performance, and deliverability from multiple identified zones across the well. The production testing campaign will focus on six optimized intervals spanning approximately 420 metres of hydrocarbon-bearing formations. These target zones include three intervals within the deeper Elandshoek formation and three intervals within the shallower Huttenburg formation. Management believes these formations represent some of the most promising hydrocarbon-bearing sections encountered during drilling. Prior to commencing testing activities, a cement bond log was completed before the end of May and confirmed that the well was suitable for production testing without requiring additional cement remediation work. With this key milestone achieved, the company proceeded to the next phase of operations. Each of the six selected intervals is expected to undergo testing for up to ten days, allowing engineers and geoscientists to evaluate reservoir characteristics, pressure behavior, fluid composition, and production potential. Any hydrocarbons produced during testing, including natural gas or liquids, will be safely flared at the surface as part of standard testing procedures. The company emphasized that successful production results could represent a significant step toward demonstrating the commercial viability of the Kavango discovery. Should testing confirm favorable reservoir performance and deliverability, the KW1X well would be temporarily abandoned and preserved as a potential future producing well as part of a broader field development strategy. Beyond the current testing program, ReconAfrica continues to advance appraisal activities across the Kavango discovery area. The company is already preparing for the next phase of drilling, including permitting and site development work for the Kavango West 2A (KW2A) appraisal well. According to Reinsborough, preparations for KW2A are progressing on schedule, with permitting applications and site readiness activities currently underway. Subject to final regulatory approvals, the company expects to spud the appraisal well before the end of the third quarter of 2026. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #EnergyExploration #OilAndGas #OilAndGas #Namibia #EnergyExploration #Hydrocarbons #DamaraFoldBelt #EnergySector #BWEnergy #NAMCOR #ResourceDevelopment

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has entered into a Technology Evaluation and License Option Agreement with Swiss Cannabis Selection, a Switzerland-based medical cannabis company focused on the cultivation, development, and production of cannabis and cannabinoid-based products for medical applications. Charleton explained that SCS is collaborating with Schibano Pharma AG, a Swiss phytopharmaceutical company specializing in cannabinoid-derived active pharmaceutical ingredients, medicinal products, and wellness solutions, to evaluate EnWave's proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. The evaluation is intended to determine the suitability of the technology across a range of cannabinoid and botanical products as both companies seek innovative solutions that can improve processing efficiency while maintaining product quality. Under the terms of the agreement, SCS and Schibano will conduct a comprehensive assessment of REV™ technology. Upon successful completion of the evaluation program, SCS will have the option to negotiate a commercial licensing agreement that would provide rights to deploy the technology within specified markets and applications. The agreement follows a series of recent commercial-scale evaluations of REV™ technology that delivered encouraging results. According to EnWave, the testing demonstrated that the technology can significantly accelerate drying processes while preserving important product characteristics that are critical for medical and pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products. Independent testing conducted across multiple cannabis cultivars showed no statistically significant differences in sensory quality when compared to conventionally dried products. The evaluations also found no meaningful impact on cannabinoid potency, no material changes in total yeast and mold counts, and generally stable terpene profiles, all of which are key quality metrics within the cannabis industry. One of the most notable findings from the testing was the potential reduction in drying times by approximately two to five days compared to traditional drying methods. Management believes this could create substantial operational benefits, including increased production throughput, improved facility utilization, and reduced dry-room occupancy, ultimately helping producers improve efficiency and lower operating costs. Charleton noted that maintaining product quality while increasing processing speed is becoming increasingly important as the global medical cannabis and cannabinoid-derived pharmaceutical markets continue to expand. The company believes REV™ technology offers a differentiated solution capable of addressing these industry challenges. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #REVTechnology #MedicalCannabis #CannabisTechnology #Pharmaceuticals #REVTechnology #Cannabinoids #Biotech #HealthInnovation #SwissCannabis #ProcessingTechnology

Iofina plc President and CEO Dr. Tom Becker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has signed a new agreement with an additional brine water supply partner to support increased production at its IOsorb® iodine extraction facility in Central Oklahoma. The strategic partnership is expected to significantly enhance the plant's output and further strengthen Iofina's position as a leading producer of specialty iodine products. Under the agreement, the IO#11 plant will now receive brine feedstock from two independent supply partners, improving operational flexibility while expanding the volume of iodine-rich brine available for processing. Once the new supply arrangement is fully operational, Iofina expects crystalline iodine production at the site to increase by between 45 and 65 metric tonnes annually. Becker explained that the additional supply is expected to have a meaningful impact on production levels, with annual output at the IO#11 facility projected to increase by approximately 50%. The expansion aligns with the company's strategy of maximizing production from existing facilities while pursuing disciplined growth opportunities across its iodine business. To facilitate the new supply arrangement, Iofina will work alongside its new partner to construct a dedicated pipeline network that will transport iodine-bearing brine to the IO#11 plant for processing. Following iodine extraction, the treated brine will be returned through the system to the partner's disposal site, creating an efficient closed-loop operating framework. Construction activities will be managed primarily by the new supply partner, helping streamline implementation and reduce operational complexity for Iofina. Preliminary timelines indicate the project is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2026, with production benefits beginning shortly thereafter. #proactiveinvestors #iofinaplc #aim #iof #iodine #specialtychemicalproducts #halogenspecialitychemicals #ChemicalIndustry #IndustrialMinerals #Manufacturing #OklahomaBusiness #SpecialtyChemicals #ResourceDevelopment #MiningNews #BusinessGrowth

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant regulatory milestone for the company's SkinJect® program, revealing that Protocol SKNJCT-005 has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the company's existing Investigational New Drug (IND) application. The submission is designed to advance SkinJect® into registrational-stage development for patients suffering from Gorlin Syndrome, a rare inherited genetic disorder characterized by the lifelong development of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recurrent skin cancers. Bokhari explained that the filing represents an important step in expanding the clinical development strategy for SkinJect® into an orphan disease indication with substantial unmet medical need. The company believes Gorlin Syndrome presents a compelling opportunity because current treatment options remain limited and there are no FDA-approved lesion-directed therapies specifically developed for patients living with the condition. Gorlin Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder most commonly caused by mutations affecting the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Individuals diagnosed with the disorder may develop dozens, hundreds, or in some cases more than a thousand skin cancer lesions over their lifetime, requiring ongoing medical intervention and repeated surgical procedures. According to Bokhari, the chronic nature of the disease creates a significant burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Repeated surgeries and treatments can lead to scarring, disfigurement, and reduced quality of life, highlighting the need for alternative treatment approaches capable of addressing individual lesions in a more targeted and patient-friendly manner. The company is also pursuing Orphan Drug Designation for the indication, which could provide several important regulatory and commercial benefits if granted by the FDA. These incentives include exemption from FDA new drug application fees, which currently exceed $5 million, as well as seven years of market exclusivity in the United States following regulatory approval. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #SkinJect #ClinicalTrials #Phase2 #Biotech #Dermatology #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #Microneedle #DrugDelivery #GorlinSyndrome #RareDisease #OrphanDrug #Biotech #SkinCancer #ClinicalTrials #DrugDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation

Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the strong performance of the Tech Megatrend Fund and the powerful global technology trends that continue to drive growth across artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum computing, and other emerging innovation sectors. Ginsberg highlighted that the fund has delivered a gain of approximately 27% year-to-date and recently achieved a new all-time high, reflecting strong investor demand for exposure to transformative technologies shaping the future economy. He attributed much of the fund's success to its diversified investment approach, which provides broad participation across multiple high-growth technology segments rather than concentrating heavily in a handful of mega-cap stocks. Unlike many technology-focused indices that derive a significant portion of their performance from the so-called Magnificent Seven technology giants, the Tech Megatrend Fund employs an equally weighted strategy across ten distinct technology subthemes. According to Ginsberg, this structure allows investors to gain exposure to a wider range of innovative companies and emerging opportunities while reducing reliance on a small group of dominant market leaders. The discussion also highlighted the increasingly global nature of technological innovation. Ginsberg noted that strong contributions have come not only from the United States but also from key international markets such as South Korea, Japan, and China.

Fineqia International Senior Associate Matteo Greco joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the latest trends in cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), the growing divergence between digital asset markets and traditional financial markets, and the factors that could drive heightened volatility in the months ahead. Greco highlighted an unusual market dynamic that has emerged since late 2025. While major equity benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have continued to reach record highs, cryptocurrency markets have generally struggled to maintain upward momentum, resulting in a notable disconnect between digital assets and broader risk markets. According to Greco, this divergence stands in contrast to the pattern investors became accustomed to over the past several years, particularly following the approval and launch of spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds in the United States. Historically, digital assets often moved in tandem with broader growth-oriented investments, making the current separation between equities and cryptocurrencies particularly noteworthy. One factor contributing to the divergence, Greco suggested, is the concentrated influence of artificial intelligence-related companies within major stock indices. A relatively small number of large-cap technology firms have been responsible for a significant portion of the gains seen across broader equity markets. As a result, headline index performance may not fully reflect conditions across the wider economy or investment landscape. The discussion also focused on Fineqia's latest May Crypto ETP report, which examined investment flows and performance trends across digital asset products. Greco explained that Bitcoin ETPs largely mirrored the performance of Bitcoin itself during the reporting period, with relatively balanced fund flows and limited net inflows or outflows. This suggests investors have generally maintained existing exposure while awaiting clearer market catalysts. Ethereum, however, experienced a more challenging environment. Both Ethereum's price performance and associated ETP flows lagged behind Bitcoin during 2026, reflecting weaker investor sentiment and a more cautious approach toward the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Despite the softer performance of the largest digital assets, Greco pointed to encouraging developments within segments of the altcoin market. Several alternative cryptocurrencies delivered stronger-than-expected returns and attracted increasing investor interest. He described recent market activity as resembling a modest "alt season," where smaller digital assets outperform larger cryptocurrencies and generate increased trading activity. Looking ahead, Greco believes volatility is likely to remain elevated across both crypto and traditional financial markets. He noted that investors continue to face uncertainty surrounding monetary policy decisions, inflation trends, energy prices, and geopolitical developments, all of which have the potential to influence capital flows and risk sentiment. #proactiveinvestors #fineqiainternationalinc #cse #fnq #otc #fnqqf #DigitalAssets #CryptoStrategy #ETP #Cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoETP #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #CryptoMarkets #ArtificialIntelligence #Investing

Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, highlighting record revenue growth, expanding profitability metrics, and continued progress across both its Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure businesses. HIVE reported total revenue of $297.8 million during fiscal 2026, generated from a combination of digital currency mining operations and high-performance computing hosting services. The strong performance reflects the company's strategy of leveraging its expertise in large-scale computing infrastructure to capitalize on opportunities in both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. A major contributor to growth was the company's Bitcoin mining business, where digital currency revenue increased 164% year-over-year.

During fiscal 2026, HIVE mined 2,885 Bitcoin, representing a 104% increase from the 1,414 Bitcoin mined in fiscal 2025. Notably, the company achieved this growth despite a significant increase in network difficulty, which rose approximately 42% year-over-year from an average of 95.7 trillion to 135.8 trillion. Management highlighted that the company's production growth substantially outpaced the increase in mining difficulty, demonstrating the effectiveness of its infrastructure expansion strategy. Beyond cryptocurrency mining, HIVE's BUZZ HPC division delivered record performance as demand for AI-focused computing infrastructure continued to accelerate. The business generated $19.5 million in revenue during fiscal 2026, representing a 94% increase compared with $10 million in fiscal 2025. Financially, HIVE demonstrated meaningful operating leverage throughout the year. Revenue increased 158% year-over-year, while gross operating margin expanded to 36.2%. Cash generated from operations climbed to $62.3 million, representing a 3.5-fold increase compared to the previous fiscal year. Looking ahead, HIVE enters fiscal 2027 with what management describes as a fully funded Paraguay expansion program, a growing pipeline of high-performance computing opportunities, and significant financial flexibility. The company plans to continue allocating capital toward opportunities that offer the highest returns across both its Bitcoin mining operations and rapidly expanding AI infrastructure platform. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #darcydaubaras #BitcoinMining #ArtificialIntelligence #HighPerformanceComputing #CryptoMining #DigitalInfrastructure #AIComputing #BlockchainTechnology #GPUCloud #TechnologyStocks

Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the critical role strategic partnerships play in the uranium exploration sector and why collaborations between junior explorers and major mining companies have become an increasingly important model for advancing high-potential projects. Frostad explained that successful joint ventures begin with high-quality exploration assets capable of attracting industry leaders seeking long-term growth opportunities. According to Frostad, major mining companies are ultimately drawn to projects that offer either significant exploration upside, strategic geographic positioning, or the potential to contribute to future uranium production pipelines. Using Purepoint's partnerships with Cameco, Orano, and IsoEnergy as examples, Frostad outlined how these relationships create a framework that allows projects to advance more efficiently while balancing risk and capital requirements. He noted that large mining companies often manage extensive global portfolios and therefore benefit from working with focused exploration teams that can dedicate significant attention to individual assets. The discussion highlighted Purepoint's Hook Lake and Smart Lake projects, both located in Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin, one of the world's premier uranium-producing regions. Frostad explained that partnerships on these projects combine the strengths of each participant, with Purepoint contributing specialized exploration expertise, local operational knowledge, and agility, while larger partners provide financial resources, technical capabilities, and extensive industry experience. A key advantage of these strategic relationships is the validation they provide. Frostad emphasized that when major uranium producers and developers commit funding to exploration programs, it sends a strong signal regarding the quality and potential of the underlying assets. As Frostad noted, “If they didn't see a lot of promise in these projects, they would not be writing checks to advance them.” Beyond financial support, major mining companies also contribute sophisticated geological analysis, advanced exploration techniques, and decades of uranium development experience that can significantly enhance project evaluation and decision-making. However, Frostad acknowledged that maintaining momentum within joint ventures requires continuous effort. Because large mining companies often have numerous projects competing for internal funding, exploration teams must consistently demonstrate progress, deliver meaningful results, and highlight the value of ongoing investment opportunities. He explained that securing capital allocation within a major company's portfolio can be highly competitive, making it essential for junior partners to maintain a strong technical case for continued exploration. Successful programs must continually generate data and discoveries that justify further expenditures and advancement. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #UraniumExploration #NuclearEnergy #MiningNews #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #Cameco #ResourceDevelopment

This approach allows the company to capture greater value from successful titles while building long-term franchises that can generate recurring revenue streams. A central pillar of that strategy is the development of strong intellectual property. Shi emphasized that in today's competitive gaming market, creating recognizable brands and immersive game worlds is more important than ever. Successful games increasingly require compelling content, active player communities, ongoing updates, and live-service capabilities that keep players engaged over extended periods. The discussion also explored the challenges facing the broader gaming industry. Shi observed that both independent developers and major publishers are under increasing pressure as player expectations continue to rise. Modern gamers demand larger worlds, richer experiences, higher production quality, and more frequent content updates, all while development costs continue to climb. As a result, studios must find ways to improve efficiency while maintaining creativity and innovation. Looking ahead, Snail sees artificial intelligence as a major opportunity to transform both game development and player experiences. Shi explained that AI technologies have the potential to streamline production processes, accelerate content creation, improve testing and quality assurance, and enhance in-game experiences through more dynamic and intelligent interactions. The company believes that integrating AI into its development pipeline can help reduce costs, improve productivity, and enable teams to focus more heavily on creativity and innovation. At the same time, AI-driven features could create more personalized and engaging gameplay experiences for players, helping differentiate Snail's products in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Shi outlined ambitious growth objectives for the company, emphasizing the value of owning and releasing internally developed products. “By developing and releasing our own products, we want to be able to double or triple our profits once products are released,” he said, highlighting the significant upside potential associated with successful proprietary game launches. As the gaming industry enters a new era shaped by AI, evolving player expectations, and global competition, Snail believes its combination of industry experience, intellectual property development, publishing expertise, and emerging technology capabilities positions the company to capitalize on future opportunities and continue building long-term shareholder value. #proactiveinvestors #snail #nasdaq #snal #SnailInc #Gaming #VideoGames #ARKSurvivalEvolved #GameDevelopment #Entertainment #Esports #TechStocks #GamingIndustry

Record Resources COO Alain Mizelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's offshore oil development plans in Gabon, highlighting encouraging geological and geophysical studies that suggest the first production well at the Loba oil discovery could deliver initial production rates exceeding 5,000 barrels of oil per day. Mizelle explained that recent technical evaluations of the Loba discovery, combined with analysis of nearby producing analogue fields, continue to strengthen confidence in the project's development potential. The company's planned Loba Marine 2 well is targeting the highly prospective Batanga reservoir and is expected to achieve production rates above 5,000 barrels per day if completed with modern production technologies, including a frac-pack completion and an electric submersible pump (ESP). The production forecast is supported by performance data from the nearby Barbier Southwest field, which was originally identified by the company in 2017 as a highly attractive development opportunity. Located adjacent to Record Resources' Ngulu Block and now operated by Perenco, the Barbier Southwest field has recently entered production and serves as an important analogue for the Loba development because it produces from the same Batanga reservoir system. According to Mizelle, the broader Loba field complex offers considerably larger production potential beyond the initial well. Based on data from nearby offset fields and comparable multi-well developments, management believes the Loba complex could ultimately support production of approximately 20,000 barrels of oil per day. Several analogous wells drilled within 40 kilometres of the Loba discovery have delivered initial production rates as high as 7,600 barrels per day from single completions within the same reservoir interval. The Loba field complex encompasses multiple development opportunities, including the existing Loba oil discovery in the Batanga reservoir, the deeper Loba Deep prospect targeting the Anguille formation, and the Loba East Batanga prospect located on the eastern flank of the salt dome structure. Together, these targets provide the potential for a broader field development program that could significantly expand recoverable resources and future production capacity. A key advantage for Record Resources is the financial structure of its partnership on the Ngulu Block. Under the agreement with its strategic partner and operator, the company is fully carried through the first phase of exploration and appraisal expenditures. This arrangement includes all seismic reprocessing activities and the drilling of the first exploration well through to total depth. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #rec #mining #recordresources #OilAndGas #NguluBlock #GabonOil #OilExploration #AfricanEnergy #Gabon #EnergySector #OilDiscovery #OffshoreDrilling #EnergyInvestment #Exploration #Petroleum #ResourceDevelopment #Batanga

Delivra Health Brands CEO Gord Davey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, highlighting the impact of geopolitical disruptions on international sales while emphasizing the continued strength of its core brands and growing e-commerce business. Delivra Health's portfolio includes the well-established Dream Water® and LivRelief™ brands, which are focused on addressing common consumer health concerns including sleep support, chronic pain management, anxiety relief, and overall wellness. Despite facing external challenges during the reporting period, management said consumer demand for the company's products remains resilient across key markets. Davey explained that quarterly and year-to-date revenue was primarily affected by reduced sales from the United States to the company's distribution partners in the Middle East. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, including disruptions associated with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, significantly impacted the movement of goods and delayed shipments of Dream Water® products to distributors and retail partners. These disruptions accounted for much of the decline in sales compared with the same period in the previous year. As a result, Delivra reported a 24% decrease in net revenue, driven largely by lower Dream Water® sales into international distribution channels. The company also faced additional pressure from rising costs for certain product ingredients, creating further short-term challenges for margins and overall financial performance. Despite these temporary setbacks, management remains optimistic about a recovery in international sales. Davey noted that the company expects shipping and delivery activity into affected regions to resume during the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2027. Delivra has already received new order commitments and growth forecasts from international partners, providing confidence that sales volumes can return to historical levels once logistical constraints ease. Meanwhile, the company continues to see encouraging progress in its direct-to-consumer and e-commerce operations. Dream Water® Canada generated a 13% increase in year-to-date e-commerce sales, while LivRelief™ recorded an even stronger 32% increase over the same period. Management believes these results demonstrate strong brand loyalty, increasing consumer engagement, and a growing level of repeat purchases across North America. The company also completed the transition of its licensed LivRelief™ Infused product portfolio, a move designed to support a more efficient distribution model and improve long-term market reach. Management expects the revised channel strategy to strengthen future sales performance and enhance customer access to the product line. Looking ahead, Delivra Health is actively working to optimize distribution channels, improve inventory flow, and capitalize on expanding e-commerce opportunities.

American Rare Earths CEO Mark Wall joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the start of the company's 2026 exploration drilling program at the Cowboy State Mine within the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming. The new campaign represents the beginning of feasibility-level drilling designed to support advancement toward a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) at what is believed to be the largest known rare earth deposit in the United States based on total rare earth oxide content. Wall explained that the program is intended to establish the geological, geotechnical, and engineering foundation necessary for future mine planning and reserve development. The company plans to complete approximately 3,050 metres of HQ core drilling across 19 drill holes focused on the Red Mountain area of the project. Drilling officially commenced on May 13, 2026, and is expected to continue through mid-July. According to the company, the program is anticipated to generate approximately 1,045 core samples for laboratory assay testing. Remaining core material will be preserved for additional technical work, including geotechnical, hydrological, environmental, and metallurgical studies that will contribute to the DFS process and future mine design considerations. American Rare Earths also noted that all drill holes will undergo detailed geophysical logging, including optical and acoustic televiewer surveys where appropriate. These studies are expected to support advanced geomechanical analysis and provide important data related to rock structure, stability, and engineering requirements for potential future mining operations. Nine of the planned core holes are positioned on the top of Red Mountain and are specifically targeting higher-grade mineralized zones expected to contribute to the first five years of planned production, as outlined in the Cowboy State Mine pre-feasibility study pit shells. The company said these holes are designed to support future ore reserve estimation and improve confidence in the early-stage mine plan as work progresses toward the DFS. An additional ten core holes will be drilled around the base of Red Mountain, where previous channel sampling and recent geological mapping identified areas of potentially higher-grade mineralization. Management believes these holes could help further define and expand mineralized zones while improving the company's understanding of the broader deposit geometry and continuity. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc #HalleckCreek #RareEarths #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #MiningNews #HalleckCreek #WyomingMining #RareEarthElements #EnergyTransition #ExplorationDrilling #USMining

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation (EMCO), has procured its initial battery shredding line as part of a major expansion of its domestic battery recycling and critical mineral processing platform. The new system is designed to enhance EMCO's ability to safely process lithium-ion batteries and produce conditioned battery feedstocks that can be supplied to ReElement Technologies Corporation for downstream separation, purification, and refining. Management described the addition as another important step toward building an integrated domestic supply chain for critical battery materials in the United States. Jensen explained that the battery shredding line complements EMCO's existing capabilities in processing and conditioning recovered magnet materials, copper, aluminum, and ferrous metals sourced from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap. The new battery processing capacity expands the company's ability to manage end-of-life, off-warranty, and off-spec lithium-ion batteries through safe disposition, shredding, pre-processing, and conditioning services. The company's initial focus will center on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, which has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global battery market. LFP batteries are increasingly used in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage systems, commercial transportation fleets, industrial equipment, and other high-volume electrification applications due to their lower cost profile, long cycle life, improved thermal stability, and reduced dependence on nickel and cobalt. Despite the rapid growth of LFP adoption, recycling these batteries has historically presented economic challenges because they lack the higher concentrations of nickel and cobalt commonly found in other lithium-ion battery chemistries. Jensen noted that EMCO and ReElement believe their integrated platform helps solve this issue by creating a viable recycling model based primarily on lithium recovery economics rather than relying on higher-value metals. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #ReElementTechnologies #BatteryRecycling #CriticalMinerals #LithiumIonBatteries #LFPBatteries #RecyclingTechnology #EnergyStorage #EVBatteries #ReElement #CircularEconomy #emco #lfp
