to provide a promising update from the company's flagship Philadelphia Project in Arizona, where recent drilling efforts continue to deliver encouraging results and set the stage for a significant resource expansion. Speaking directly from the site, Stark reported that drill hole 154 has successfully intersected the project's primary target vein zone, delivering a longer intercept of visible gold than any previous hole drilled at the site. This marks a meaningful advancement in confirming the continuity of the mineralized structure, particularly when compared to earlier positive results from hole 136. “We're running more core to the lab than we've ever run before, so I'm excited about that,” said Stark, noting that the quantity of core samples submitted for assay reflects the team's growing confidence in the scale and consistency of the gold system. The current phase of drilling is focused on testing a 150-meter stretch of the mineralized zone, with drill depths reaching between 1,100 and 1,200 feet. According to Stark, if the assay results maintain their current trend, the company could be looking at a substantial increase in gold ounces—a key milestone in progressing toward a defined resource. In addition to exploration progress, Stark also highlighted important logistical improvements that are reducing operational costs and supporting long-term site development. A newly constructed access road has streamlined equipment and personnel movement, and the installation of an on-site water well has eliminated the need to haul water for drilling operations. “It's saving probably $30,000 to $35,000 every quarter, over $100,000 a year by utilizing our own water,” Stark noted, underscoring the efficiency gains from these infrastructure upgrades. The ongoing drill program is expected to continue for another two to two and a half weeks, though Stark confirmed it could be extended depending on results. He also emphasized the scale and growth potential of the project, noting that the mineralized system already extends 1.7 kilometers, with plans to drill an additional 1.5 kilometers to the south—a move that could further unlock the full scope of the deposit. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #SycamoreCanyon #JointVentureOpportunity #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors

Surge Battery Metals CEO Greg Reimer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the release of the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the company's flagship Nevada North Lithium Project —a major milestone that confirms the project's strong economic potential as a scalable, long-life, and low-cost lithium operation. The PEA outlines a compelling development scenario for a conventional open-pit mine paired with dry-stack tailings and on-site sulfuric acid leach processing to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate equivalent. The proposed operation leverages Nevada's mining-friendly jurisdiction and infrastructure, setting the stage for North American-based supply of critical battery materials. Reimer detailed that the project is structured around a 42-year mine life, with production split into two major phases. In Phase 1, the mine will process 2.58 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of ore. Phase 2, which kicks off in Year 4, will double processing throughput to 5.15 Mtpa, supporting significant increases in production volumes. The operational strategy prioritizes the shallowest and highest-grade lithium zones, ensuring early cash flow and optimal economics. As a result, production of battery-grade LCE peaks at 109,100 tonnes in Year 6, with an average of 86,300 tonnes/year over the life of mine. In total, the project is projected to deliver 3.63 million tonnes of LCE at a recovery rate of 82.8%. One of the most notable figures in the report is the net present value (NPV) of the project: US$9.21 billion, based on the latest assay results received in January. The project's internal rate of return (IRR) and capital efficiency metrics are expected to be detailed in subsequent reports, but the current valuation already positions NNLP among the most promising lithium development assets in North America. Looking ahead, Reimer emphasized that Surge Battery Metals is committed to rapidly advancing and de-risking the NNLP through upcoming Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility studies. The company will focus on refining process efficiencies, optimizing mine design, and engaging with potential strategic partners to support future development and financing. #proactiveinvestors #surgebatterymetals #tsxv #nili #otcqb #otcqx #nilif #Lithium #NevadaNorth #Mining #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMetals #LithiumInvesting #MiningNews #ProactiveInvestors #ResourceEstimates #MiningPEA #GregReimer #EVMetals #CleanEnergy

Northstar Gold Corp CEO Brian Fowler Joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major advancement at the company's Miller Copper-Gold Property in Ontario. The company has defined a high-grade copper Exploration Target at the historic Cam Copper Mine, specifically within the newly delineated No. 2 Zone, based on advanced geological modeling and recent drilling data. Fowler revealed that the No. 2 Zone Exploration Target is estimated to contain between 75,000 and 140,000 tonnes of material grading between 9% and 18% copper, with a conceptual average copper grade of 12%. These grades place the zone among some of the highest-grade undeveloped copper prospects in Canada. The estimate is derived from a statistical evaluation of 15 mineralized drill core intercepts, modeled using detailed 3D geological and block models developed in spring 2025 by Caracle Creek Consulting Inc. and CGK Consulting Ltd. The No. 2 Zone is characterized as a continuous, northwest-trending, steeply dipping tabular body hosting copper-rich Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. The copper is primarily in the form of chalcopyrite and bornite, and the zone extends from surface to a depth of approximately 200 metres, spanning a strike length of about 125 metres and averaging 1 metre in width. Importantly, the high-grade copper mineralization in No. 2 Zone remains open at depth, plunging southeast at an angle of approximately -71 degrees, along what is interpreted to be a VMS feeder structure. This presents significant potential for future expansion as exploration continues. The No. 2 Zone is the largest of three steeply dipping tabular copper horizons identified at the Cam Copper Mine. Historical data from previous operators indicated an average grade of 10% copper over a 0.85-metre true width, along a 42-metre strike length and to a minimum depth of 140 metres from surface—further supporting the zone's high-grade potential. Fowler emphasized that this newly defined target area could represent a major copper discovery opportunity, and that Northstar Gold is actively evaluating next steps to advance exploration, including deeper drilling and geophysical surveys. The strong grades, combined with favorable geometry and historical context, suggest the No. 2 Zone could be a cornerstone of future development at the Miller Copper-Gold Property. #proactiveinvestors #northstargoldcorp #cse #nsg #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #CopperExploration #MillerProperty #KirklandLake #Investing #Gold #Copper #ProactiveInvestors #CopperExploration #CamCopperMine #VMSDiscovery #MiningNews #DrillingResults #HighGradeCopper #Novamera #SurgicalMining #ResourceEstimation #MetalsAndMining #InvestingInMining #ProactiveInvestors

Condor Resources CEO Chris Buncic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a major development for the company's Cobreorco project in Peru. The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines has officially approved the Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (DIA)—a crucial milestone that clears the way for upcoming exploration activities on the promising gold-copper project. The DIA approval represents a significant regulatory step forward and signals strong institutional support for responsible mineral development in the region. The permitting process for Cobreorco is being advanced by a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited, one of the world's leading mining companies. Buncic emphasized that this collaboration is a key asset for Condor, positioning the company to benefit from any exploration success in a cost-effective, risk-mitigated manner. The Cobreorco project is targeting gold-copper skarn and porphyry-style mineralization, both of which are known for hosting large, economically viable deposits. Condor Resources entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Teck, under which Teck can earn a 75% interest in the project over three years. To do so, Teck must fulfill specific conditions, including US$10 million in exploration expenditures and US$1,000,000 in cash payments to Condor. Buncic noted that with the DIA approval now in hand, the project is well-positioned to advance toward active exploration, potentially unlocking significant value for both parties. He expressed optimism that the involvement of Teck, coupled with the geological potential of the project, creates a compelling opportunity for future discovery. #proactiveinvestors #condorresourcesinc #tsxv #cn #MiningUpdate #PucamayoProject #Cobreorco #TeckResources #PeruMining #CopperExploration #GoldExploration #MiningNews #JuniorMining #DrillingPermit #PorphyrySystem #ScarnDeposit #MiningInvestment #ProactiveInvestors

Majedie Investments PLC (LSE:MAJE) manager Dan Higgins takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the investment trust's unique investment strategy and its appeal to shareholders seeking diversified, long-term returns. Higgins outlined Majedie's three complementary strategies: external managers, direct investments, and special investments. He explained that external managers make up around 60% of the portfolio, with allocations to specialist equity and credit strategies, including mid-cap biotech, Japan small cap activism, and stressed debt. “Most of the managers that we allocate to are completely off the radar screen of other investors,” Higgins said. Direct investments involve a concentrated selection of 10 to 12 stocks, primarily in Europe, the UK, and Asia, focusing on quality growth companies that are not widely held elsewhere. Special investments, the most differentiated component, involve co-investing alongside trusted partners in high-conviction opportunities such as activist positions in Shake Shack, distressed debt in Metro Bank, and equity positions in CVS Corporation. Higgins also described Majedie's ‘liquid endowment' philosophy, emphasising long-term, fundamental investing without relying on illiquid assets like private equity or real estate. He stressed that Majedie is fully aligned with shareholders, with management incentivised through market capitalisation and holding personal investments in the trust.

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the final assay results from the company's Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in southern Peru. The results include 12 additional drill holes from the broader 82-hole program and confirm the mineral resource remains open to the east. Rushton highlighted that Hole AFD139, located on the most easterly section of the drill program, returned a notable intercept of 68.9 metres grading 78 g/t silver, 1.19% copper, and 6.03% manganese from just 6.4 metres downhole. This strong mineralisation suggests significant potential for continued expansion, although future drilling will require additional access work due to steep terrain in that area. The company also reported that historical mapping and resource modelling indicated mineralisation extending over 1,300 metres along strike. The recent drill campaign has now expanded that to at least 1,550 metres, with mineralised widths ranging from 400 metres in the central zone, 250 metres in the west, and 50 metres in the faulted transitional section between them. Importantly, drilling has closed a previously identified 100-metre discontinuity within the deposit. Drilling was performed at a high angle to the stratigraphically controlled mineralization, meaning the intersections reported are approximately true thickness. Rushton emphasized that the results position Aftermath Silver well for future resource expansion and further development of Berenguela. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

Jane Edmondson VettaFi Head of Index Product Strategy at TMXVettaFi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to introduce the firm's latest innovation in thematic investing: the Army Future of Defense ETF. The new fund follows on the heels of VettaFi's highly successful NATO Future Defense UCITS ETF, which recently surpassed $2.5 billion in assets under management, reflecting intense investor demand for defense-sector exposure. Edmondson explained that while the NATO ETF focuses broadly on global defense, cyber defense, and defense technology, the new Army Future of Defense ETF is more targeted, with a distinct European emphasis. “Ninety percent of the index portfolio is allocated to European companies,” she said, positioning the fund to capitalize on a massive wave of defense-related investment driven by a renewed sense of urgency in regional security. That urgency stems from the European Union's $800 billion rearmament initiative, which includes €650 billion in defense spending and an additional €150 billion in credit facilities over the next four years. These commitments are reshaping Europe's defense landscape and fueling strong investor interest in companies poised to benefit from the spending boom. To help bridge the region's existing technology gap—estimated to be five years behind defense innovation leaders like the U.S.—the ETF also includes select holdings from South Korea and Israel. “Having exposure to countries like South Korea and Israel that are typically more high tech can help bridge that gap over the next few years,” Edmondson noted, highlighting the strategic inclusion of tech-forward allies. Looking ahead, Edmondson pointed to the upcoming NATO summit in the Netherlands on June 24–25, where discussions are expected to include a proposed increase in defense spending targets to 5% of GDP. This new benchmark would extend beyond traditional military investments to incorporate modern threats and capabilities—including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, infrastructure resilience, and emerging defense technologies. She further emphasized the strength of global defense spending, which reached $2.7 trillion in 2023, with NATO members accounting for more than half of that total. Rising geopolitical tensions are also prompting significant increases in military budgets across the Asia-Pacific region, with countries such as South Korea, Australia, Japan, and India signaling higher future allocations. #proactiveinvestors #vettafi #hanetf #DefenseSpending #Cybersecurity #NATO #DefenseETF #JaneEdmondson #VettaFi #DefenseTech #GlobalSecurity #Investing #MilitaryTech #trump

Lahontan Gold Corp CEO Kimberly Ann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone in the advancement of the company's flagship Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada. The company has received formal approval from the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for an amendment allowing additional drill sites on unpatented lode mining claims situated on BLM-administered federal lands. This regulatory green light marks a pivotal step forward for Lahontan, enabling the initiation of expanded exploration activities targeting the high-potential Slab and York areas within the Santa Fe property. These newly approved drill holes are designed to test for substantial extensions to known gold and silver mineralization, building upon the company's previous successful intercepts. Ann confirmed that the upcoming drilling will form a core part of Phase One of Lahontan's 2025 exploration program. The campaign will focus on step-out drilling from earlier high-grade zones discovered north of the Slab resource and throughout the York target area, with the aim of expanding the project's overall resource footprint. Lahontan has already completed several preliminary drill holes on the property, and the collected samples have been submitted for geochemical analysis. The company anticipates receiving the first batch of assay results in the coming weeks, which could provide valuable insights into the potential scale and continuity of mineralization at Santa Fe.

Bango CFO Matt Wilson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's full-year results for the 12 months ending December 31, 2024, along with its outlook for 2025. The company reported a pivotal year marked by robust revenue growth, rising profitability, and continued momentum across its Digital Vending Machine® (DVM) and Payments segments. For FY2024, Bango posted a 16% increase in total revenue and more than doubled its Adjusted EBITDA to $15.3 million. This reflects both the platform's operational leverage and a disciplined approach to cost management. The DVM platform continued to scale globally, adding nine new customers during the year. That momentum has carried into 2025 with six additional wins, including Bango's first customer in South Korea. In the U.S., the DVM now supports six of the top eight communication providers. A notable achievement was launching Disney+ with Portugal's largest high-street retailer, Continente, within just 12 weeks from initial contact. Bango's payments business also remains a market leader. It continues to be the largest Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) partner for Google Play, the sole DCB provider for Amazon Japan, and the exclusive online DCB provider for NTT DOCOMO—Japan's largest mobile operator. The company's financial position was further strengthened through strategic financing from NatWest and NHN, underscoring confidence in Bango's business model and growth trajectory. Leadership highlighted that investments in DVM, combined with market tailwinds in “Super bundling,” have created a strong sales pipeline. With reduced R&D capital expenditures and the scalability of its platform, Bango expects a significant increase in cash generation starting in FY2026—positioning the company to deliver meaningful shareholder returns. Larbey and Wilson expressed strong confidence and excitement about Bango's path forward. #proactiveinvestors #bango #aim #bgo #MattWilson #SubscriptionEconomy #DigitalVending #Fintech #RecurringRevenue #GrowthFinance #InvestorUpdates #TechInvesting #ProactiveInvestors

Harfang Exploration CEO Rick Breger joined Steve Daring from Proactive to unveil plans for the company's upcoming 2025 summer exploration program at the Sky Lake Gold Project in northwestern Ontario. This initiative is set to build on the momentum of the company's successful winter diamond drilling campaign and aims to expand geological understanding across the broader land package. The summer fieldwork will include a combination of prospecting, detailed geological mapping, and channel sampling. These efforts are designed to refine Harfang's geologic model, better understand the structural controls within the project area, and assess the potential for discovering additional high-grade mineralized shoots along the project's extensive shear zone. Breger explained that the decision to move forward with a comprehensive summer program comes on the heels of promising results from the final batch of assays from the winter drill program. These results included a standout intercept in drill hole SLA-25-04, which returned 4.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 15.6 metres. Notably, this included 7.5 g/t gold over 8.4 metres and an even higher-grade core of 14.24 g/t gold over 2.5 metres—highlighting the robust mineralization potential of the zone. The winter program successfully delineated a continuous high-grade mineralized shoot that has now been traced over 250 metres downhole and remains open at depth, leaving significant room for expansion. According to Breger, the geological data gathered so far—combined with the mineralization style and structural context—suggests the Sky Lake shear zone was once a highly active and fertile corridor for gold deposition. #proactiveinvestors #harfangexplorationinc #tsxv #har #mining #SkyLake #GoldExploration #MiningNews #OntarioGold #JuniorMining #RickBreger #GoldPrice #ResourceExploration #ProactiveInvestors

Sprott Asset Management CEO John Ciampaglia spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the transformative changes underway in the uranium market and the pivotal role of the Sprott Physical Uranium ETC, developed in partnership with HANetf. Ciampaglia described the current market landscape as "unprecedented," driven by sweeping shifts in U.S. nuclear energy policy and intensifying energy demands from emerging technologies. A key focus of the discussion was the dramatic policy push from the Trump administration, which has issued four executive orders aimed at revitalizing and securing the U.S. nuclear supply chain. These directives address the full nuclear ecosystem—from domestic uranium mining and processing to the construction of both large-scale and small modular reactors (SMRs). Ciampaglia underscored the significance of regulatory reform, stating, “If it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to get a new design approved or if it takes, you know, 8 to 10 years to get new mines approved and built, that is just way too long.” The CEO also shed light on the surging power demand from AI data centers and the broader reshoring of critical industries, both of which are accelerating the push for reliable, carbon-free energy sources like nuclear. Despite these growing needs, U.S. uranium production remains critically low—just 1 million pounds per year, compared to 50 million pounds in domestic demand, with potential future requirements possibly reaching 200 million pounds, nearly equal to current global output. Although uranium fundamentals remain robust, Ciampaglia acknowledged that the market has recently been weighed down by broader commodity sector volatility and elevated short positions in uranium equities. Still, he expressed confidence in the sector's resilience, emphasizing, “The fundamentals in the medium to long term will win the day.” Looking ahead, he anticipates a wave of pent-up demand from utilities, which could result in increased buying activity once current uncertainties around tariffs, tax credits, and sanctions are resolved. According to Ciampaglia, this convergence of policy support, technological innovation, and rising energy needs places uranium in a unique position to become a cornerstone of the global energy transition. #Sprott #Uranium #NuclearEnergy #Investing #HANetf #EnergySecurity #ETC #MiningStocks #PhysicalUranium #ProactiveInvestors

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the submission of a comprehensive product development plan to the U.S. FDA for the treatment of external squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in horses. The submission was made under the Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) program and seeks concurrence under the Minor Use in Major Species (MUMS) designation. The FDA recently granted MUMS designation to Medicus Pharma's dissolvable Doxorubicin-containing microneedle array, which is specifically designed to treat external SCC in equine patients. This recognition enables the company to pursue regulatory pathways designed to support treatments for rare conditions in major animal species. Dr. Bokhari explained that SCC is a skin tumor commonly affecting adult or aging horses with white or partially white coats. Breeds such as Appaloosa, Belgian, American Paint, and Pinto are particularly vulnerable. The incidence of SCC in horses is estimated at 2-3%, with the U.S. horse population currently ranging from 6.6 to 7.25 million animals. Current treatment options involve surgical removal of larger tumors, cryotherapy for smaller lesions, and localized or topical chemotherapy. Some cases are also managed with oral medications like piroxicam to slow cancer recurrence. Bokhari noted that the company's microneedle platform could offer a less invasive and more targeted treatment alternative. With the development plan now submitted, Medicus Pharma is aiming to align with the FDA on next steps to bring this innovative treatment to market, providing a new option for veterinarians and horse owners dealing with equine SCC. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation VeterinaryOncology #HorseCancer #SquamousCellCarcinoma #FDAApproval #AnimalHealth

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a strategic milestone for the company's vision of becoming a leading North American supplier of lithium iron phosphate cathode active materials. The company's recent white paper submission to the United States Department of Defense's Defense Industrial Base Consortium has received a "Met" rating—a significant development that affirms both the technical and economic feasibility of the proposal. While a "Met" rating does not signify immediate selection for funding or contract award, it establishes the white paper as eligible for consideration over the next 36 months, contingent upon a specific DoD need and the availability of funding. This designation effectively places First Phosphate on the U.S. Department of Defense's radar for potential future investment through the Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funding mechanism. Passalacqua emphasized that this rating validates First Phosphate's proposed project as a technically sound and economically viable solution for building a domestic supply chain of LFP cathode materials. If awarded DPA funding, First Phosphate could become the first company in North America to develop a vertically integrated phosphate production facility dedicated specifically to LFP CAM, helping meet growing demand from both civilian and defense sectors. The white paper evaluation confirmed that the company's proposed schedule, budget, and overall plan are considered realistic and achievable, provided the necessary financial support is secured. Passalacqua noted that DPA Title III funds represent a timely and efficient mechanism for advancing this critical supply chain infrastructure. Importantly, the DoD's assessment reinforces the strategic importance of phosphate in the production of LFP batteries, which are increasingly in demand due to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and long lifecycle. As global battery markets continue to expand, particularly for electric vehicles and energy storage, reducing reliance on China's dominance in the LFP supply chain has become a national security priority for the United States. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqb #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Quadrise Chairman Andy Morrison joined Steve Darling from Proactive to deliver a business update highlighting continued momentum across the company's core initiatives, despite minor delays. Morrison reported that all commitments made during the January funding round remain on track, including the near-finalisation of a key agreement with major shipping customer MSC. He acknowledged that regulatory hurdles and shipping route adjustments had extended legal timelines but stressed the deal is “very, very close” to completion. The company is also making steady headway in Morocco and Panama, with tangible developments expected in the coming quarter. Morrison pointed to rising regulatory support—such as the International Maritime Organization's reinforced environmental targets—as a tailwind for Quadrise, particularly given growing demand for immediate marine fuel solutions like biofuels. On internal changes, Morrison addressed the recent leadership shift with former CEO Jason Miles now serving as Chief Technology Officer. He described the move as a “natural progression” in line with Quadrise's strategic acceleration. Morrison is currently stepping into expanded executive duties while the search for a new CEO is underway. Looking to Q3, Morrison emphasized that visible progress on the company's major international projects will be key for investor confidence. He also referenced broader global focus on ocean sustainability, citing Prince William's remarks at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum as reflective of growing urgency around cleaner shipping solutions—an area where Quadrise is poised to deliver impact. #proactiveinvestors #quadriseplc #aim #lse #qed #businessupdate #energytransistion #Biofuels #ShippingIndustry #SustainableEnergy #MarineFuels #MSC #MoroccoEnergy #PanamaProjects #IMO #EnergyTransition #CleanShipping

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the ongoing momentum in the global travel sector and its impact on two of the firm's flagship exchange-traded funds: JETS, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and TRIP, listed on the London Stock Exchange. Holmes highlighted that both ETFs are powered by smart beta strategies, targeting companies with strong revenue momentum despite what he described as a “negative narrative” surrounding the travel and airline industries. “Even though the fundamentals are so strong, there's a negative narrative towards travel and airlines,” Holmes noted, emphasizing a disconnect between media sentiment and underlying performance data. He pointed out that U.S. gasoline prices remain below last year's levels—a positive driver for both consumer travel and airline margins. This has coincided with a surge in travel demand, with a Deloitte survey showing more than half of Americans plan to take summer vacations. Holmes also noted a significant rebound in European travel, citing recent comments from Ryanair's CEO and the growing economic influence of digital nomads, now estimated to number around 40 million globally. Beyond air travel, Holmes highlighted a resurgence in the cruise industry, which he said is benefitting not only from pent-up demand for experience-based travel but also from airline-linked travel activity needed to reach cruise ports. He remains “extremely bullish” on travel-related industries and expects continued upside for both the JETS and TRIP ETFs through the second half of the year. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #JETS #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks #SmartBeta #TravelBoom #ProactiveInvestors

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2 OASIS trial, a study evaluating TNX-102 SL for reducing the severity of acute stress reaction (ASR) and preventing the onset of acute stress disorder (ASD). The investigator-initiated trial is sponsored by the University of North Carolina Institute for Trauma Recovery and supported by a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. The OASIS (Optimizing Acute Stress Reaction Interventions with TNX-102 SL) trial will assess the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg compared to placebo in reducing post-traumatic neuropsychiatric outcomes in patients treated in the emergency department (ED) after motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Approximately 180 patients will be enrolled and randomized across U.S. ED study sites. This trial builds on infrastructure and insights from UNC's $40 million AURORA initiative, a large-scale national research program aimed at improving outcomes for individuals affected by traumatic events. AURORA is backed by the NIH, One Mind, private foundations, and tech companies including Mindstrong Health and Verily Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company). Tonix aims to address the significant unmet need for early treatment of ASR in both civilian and military trauma populations. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #Biotech #MPOXVaccine #Smallpox #TNX801 #VaccineDevelopment #ClinicalTrials #PharmaceuticalNews #MedicalResearch #WHO #GlobalHealth #InfectiousDiseases #Biopharma #ProactiveInvestors

Rome Resources CEO Paul Barrett joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant new tin discovery on the eastern flank of the Mont Agoma prospect at the company's flagship Bisie North project in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Drill hole MADD030, positioned northeast of known mineralization, intersected a 40-metre-wide tin-bearing zone at a shallow depth. While visual confirmation of cassiterite is limited in the weathered material, on-site Niton XRF readings indicate elevated tin levels. Laboratory assay results are pending and will provide definitive grades. Barrett noted the intercept lies beyond the currently defined mineralized footprint and outside the tin-in-soil geochemical anomaly, raising the possibility that this could represent either a new mineralized tin system or a fault-related repetition of existing mineralization. This opens up the potential for additional tin resources along the eastern flank of Mont Agoma. Since May 13, 2025, Rome has completed four drill holes totaling 737 metres, with three rigs currently active. All holes to date have intersected visible mineralization of tin, copper, and zinc, corroborated by the on-site XRF analyzer. Barrett emphasized the significance of these findings, which reinforce the untapped exploration upside at Bisie North and support Rome's strategy of expanding its tin resource base in a critical minerals district. #proactiveinvestors #romeresourcesplc #aim #rmr #drc #basemetals #DRCMining #BaseMetals #MiningUpdates #TinDiscovery #GeologicalSurvey #MiningDrilling #ResourceExploration #ProactiveInvestors

LinQ Minerals Executive Chair Clive Donner joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's initial public offering (IPO) as it prepares to list on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The IPO aims to raise between A$7.5 million and A$10 million, offering investors exposure to one of Australia's most prospective gold-copper regions. Under the IPO, LinQ is issuing 37.5 million to 50 million shares at A$0.20 per share, with the offer now officially open to investors. Donner explained that proceeds from the raise will be directed toward drilling high-priority targets within the company's flagship Gilmore Project, as well as advancing work on the Southern Startup deposits. The drilling campaign is aimed at unlocking further value from the project's expansive mineralised system. The IPO funds will be used to commence a 12-month drilling program aimed at expanding the known resources and following up on promising targets. LinQ Minerals holds a 100% interest in five exploration licences spanning 597 square kilometres in the Gilmore Project area, which lies between Temora and West Wyalong in New South Wales' Macquarie Arc—a world-class mineral province home to major mines such as Cadia, Northparkes, and Cowal. The company has already made a significant start: in August, LinQ reported a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Gilmore Project of approximately 516 million tonnes, containing 3.7 million ounces of gold and 1.2 million tonnes of copper. #proactiveinvestors #linqmineralslimited #asx #mining #CopperExploration #GoldExploration #GilmoreProject #ASXListing #MiningAustralia #ResourceStocks #PorphyryCopper #MineralExploration #ProactiveInvestors

Immunic Therapeutics Chief Medical Officer Dr Andreas Muehler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce two major developments for the company's lead drug candidate, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838)—a nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator currently being investigated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The company has successfully completed enrollment for both Phase 3 ENSURE trials (ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2), each designed to assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability of vidofludimus calcium in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Together, the trials enrolled 2,221 adult RMS patients across more than 100 sites in 15 countries, including the United States, India, Latin America, MENA, and Central and Eastern Europe. Each trial randomized patients in a double-blind fashion to receive either 30 mg of vidofludimus calcium or placebo once daily. The primary endpoint of both trials is time to first relapse over a 72-week period, with secondary endpoints including time to confirmed disability worsening (CDW) using the Expanded Disability Status Scale, Volume of new T2-lesions on MRI and time to sustained clinically relevant cognitive decline. Dr. Muehler emphasized the significance of reaching this enrollment milestone, marking a major step forward in delivering a novel oral treatment option for RMS patients globally. Immunic has also released new secondary endpoint data from its Phase 2 CALLIPER trial in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS), further highlighting the neuroprotective potential of vidofludimus calcium. Among the 467 PMS patients enrolled, vidofludimus calcium reduced the hazard ratio (HR) for 24-week confirmed disability worsening (24wCDW) by 24% compared to placebo (HR 0.76), based on EDSS measurements. Breakdown by PMS subtype showed a 33% reduction in Primary Progressive, a 19% reduction in non-active Secondary Progressive MS and a 34% reduction in active Secondary Progressive MS These new insights reinforce vidofludimus calcium's broad neuroprotective potential across progressive MS subgroups, where few effective treatment options currently exist. With multiple data readouts anticipated and a global footprint already established, Immunic is taking significant strides toward changing the treatment landscape for both relapsing and progressive forms of MS. #proactiveinvestors #immunicinc #nasdaq #imux #MultipleSclerosis #ClinicalTrials #ENSURETrial #CALLIPERStudy #VidofludimusCalcium #Neuroprotection #BiotechNews #MSResearch #ProactiveInvestors

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight two major developments as the company advances its Quebec-based Bégin-Lamarche Project. Belgian Ambassador to Canada, Patrick Van Gheel, recently visited the company's prospecting sites, describing the Bégin-Lamarche Project as well-developed and a potential model for cooperation between the European Union and Canada—particularly between Belgium and Canada. Belgium has expressed interest in seeing the project succeed, especially as First Phosphate has partnered with Belgian company Prayon for phosphoric acid production in Saguenay. This acid is a key component in the battery industry. Passalacqua also announced the successful closing of the second and final tranche of a non-brokered private placement, raising a total of C$3.52 million. This brings the company's total capital raised since June 2022 to approximately C$23.8 million across seven such placements, all led by management. The new funds will support continued exploration and development of First Phosphate's Quebec phosphate assets, as well as general corporate purposes. The company is focused on building a vertically integrated North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery ecosystem, and this financing arrives at a critical juncture in that strategy. With growing international support and strengthened financial resources, First Phosphate is well-positioned to play a central role in North America's critical minerals and battery supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqb #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries

Arrow Exploration CEO Marshall Abbott joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the company's robust first-quarter performance, marked by a 36% year-over-year increase in total oil and gas revenue, reaching US$19.51 million. First-quarter earnings rose 15% to US$11.53 million, with net income of US$2.66 million, reflecting the company's continued success in expanding production and operational efficiencies at its Colombian assets. Abbott noted that operating cash flow totaled US$14.43 million, and Arrow exited the quarter with a strong cash position of US$24.95 million, even after US$11.38 million in capital expenditures. These investments supported the drilling of two new horizontal development wells—AB 2 and AB 3—in the Alberta Llanos field, as well as the completion of a 90 km² seismic survey on the southeast Tapir Block. The company has also made significant infrastructure progress, building a new road system linking the Carrizales Norte pad with the Capullo, Mateguafa Oeste, and Mateguafa Attic pads, which will serve as critical hubs for Arrow's 2025 drilling campaign. Importantly, a second rig has been secured, and the first of four planned wells at Rio Cravo Este (RCE) is expected to be spudded in early June. Abbott emphasized that despite global oil price volatility, Arrow maintains “very healthy netbacks”, underscoring the company's resilience and operational efficiency. Looking ahead, Arrow's strategic focus remains on growing production through ongoing development at Carrizales Norte, RCE, and Alberta Llanos, while also pursuing low-risk exploration opportunities across its Tapir Block. #proactiveinvestors #arrowexplorationinc #aim #axl #tsxv #axl #ColombiaEnergy #MarshallAbbott #Q1Results #OilDrilling #EnergyInvestment #SeismicSurvey #WaterDisposal #PrepaymentDeal #ExplorationAndProduction #LlanosBasin #EnergySector #ProactiveInvestors

Faron Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Juho Jalkanen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's presentation of Phase II data from its BEXMAB study during a Rapid Oral Abstract Session at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, which has recently concluded. The BEXMAB study is evaluating bexmarilimab, Faron's novel humanized anti-Clever-1 antibody, in combination with azacitidine, the current standard-of-care, in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The Phase II data presented focused on two patient populations: frontline treatment-naïve (n=21) and relapsed/refractory (r/r) MDS (n=32), with the majority (66% and 80% respectively) classified as very high/high risk at baseline. Jalkanen emphasized the unmet medical need in these populations, particularly for r/r MDS patients who have failed prior hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapies and have limited treatment options. In this context, the BEXMAB results are highly encouraging, showing an estimated median overall survival (mOS) of 13.4 months in r/r MDS patients — more than double the typical 5–6 months under current standard-of-care. These findings not only validate the therapeutic potential of bexmarilimab but also support progression to a confirmatory registrational Phase III trial, which would evaluate bexmarilimab + azacitidine versus placebo + azacitidine in frontline high-risk MDS patients. The company has received prior FDA guidance on trial design and is preparing for an end-of-Phase II meeting to discuss key parameters, including the proposed primary endpoint of composite complete response (cCR), a measure strongly correlated with overall survival. #proactiveinvestors #faronpharmaceuticalsltd #aim #farn #firstnorth #faron #MDS #Phase2Results #ASCO2025 #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #FDAUpdate #Hematology #ClinicalTrials (edited)

EMV Capital CEO Dr. Ilian Iliev joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a comprehensive update on the firm's strong performance in 2024 and its strategic roadmap as it heads into 2025. Despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds, EMV Capital demonstrated notable resilience and growth, reporting a 33% increase in assets under management—a significant milestone that underscores market validation for its multifaceted investment model. Iliev attributed much of the year's success to the company's expanding fund management division, which has become a key pillar of the business. A major highlight was EMV's acquisition of the highly respected Cambridge-based Martlet Capital, a move that broadened EMV's reach in early-stage and university spin-out investments. Additionally, the firm launched an evergreen investment fund designed to provide continuous capital for innovation-focused ventures. These efforts, Iliev noted, have positioned EMV Capital as a critical player in the evolving UK deep tech ecosystem. Central to EMV's identity is its “venture build” model, which combines capital investment with hands-on support. In 2024, the firm invested approximately £400,000 in cash and another £500,000 in in-kind strategic services across its portfolio. This model yielded strong returns, generating an estimated £8.5 million increase in fair value. Notable portfolio companies include Sofant Technologies (RF semiconductor innovation), DeepTech Recycling, and WandaHealth, each operating at the intersection of high-growth sectors such as defense, AI infrastructure, and medtech. Iliev highlighted that EMV's investment approach goes beyond capital deployment. The company also generates recurring revenue from fund management fees, corporate finance advisory services, and strategic value creation efforts provided to its portfolio companies—ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience even during turbulent market cycles. Looking ahead to 2025, EMV Capital plans to launch a new fund with a particular focus on university spin-outs and early-stage deep tech startups. The firm is positioning itself to capitalize on what Iliev called a “once-in-a-generation shift in the venture capital landscape,” as global economies realign priorities around innovation, sustainability, and strategic technology autonomy. #proactiveinvestors #emvcapitalplc #aim #emvc #VentureCapital #PrivateEquity #DeepTech #FundManagement #Startups #TechInvesting #SofantTechnologies #WandaHealth #MartletCapital #VentureBuild #ProactiveInvestors

GoldMining Inc CEO Alastair Still joined Steve Darling from Proactive to outline the company's strengthening position in a rising gold market, underpinned by its disciplined long-term strategy and robust asset base. Still emphasized that GoldMining Inc. is entering a "harvest mode" phase after years of acquiring high-potential assets during market downturns. That strategy has positioned the company with one of the most enviable financial and operational profiles in the junior resource sector, including approximately C$200 million in cash and tradable securities (as of market close on June 2, 2025 and cash as of February 28, 2025) and a gold-focused portfolio totaling 12.40 million measured and indicated gold equivalent ounces, with an additional 9.10 million inferred ounces across the Americas. See the Company's website and public filings for details of individual resource estimates and particulars of underlying technical reports. “Our balance sheet is one of our key strengths,” Still stated, adding that the company is now actively unlocking value through development and monetization of these assets. A major part of that effort includes the São Jorge project in Brazil, where the company has launched the largest drilling program in its history. The goal is to advance resource definition and unlock the full value of this highly prospective project. Still also highlighted GoldMining's ability to generate shareholder value through spinouts, including the successful creation of Gold Royalty Corp., in which it still holds approximately 13%, and U.S. GoldMining Inc., a company focused on the Whistler gold-copper project in Alaska, where GoldMining retains a 79% ownership stake. Beyond gold, the company is also leveraging exposure to the energy transition by holding a uranium asset in Canada's Athabasca Basin. Notably, GoldMining recently received permits to commence drilling at this project, offering future optionality in a rising uranium market. #proactiveinvestors #goldmininginc #tsx #gold #nyseamerican #gldg #MiningStocks #GoldEquities #USGoldMining #SãoJorgeProject #GoldInvestment #CopperProjects #AthabascaUranium #MiningExploration #AlastairStill

New Era Helium CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share major news regarding the company's rapidly evolving joint venture, Texas Critical Data Centers, LLC (TCDC). The joint venture, established between New Era Helium and Sharon AI, has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with PowerForward Energy Solutions to provide 250 megawatts of on-site power generation capacity for its planned AI and high-performance computing campus in Ector County, Texas. This initiative represents a strategic step toward positioning TCDC as a key player in the booming AI and cloud infrastructure market. The campus is being designed to meet surging demand for GPU-powered data environments, driven by the exponential growth of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other compute-intensive technologies. Under the terms of the MOU, PFES will take responsibility for manufacturing, installing, and operating the generation infrastructure at the TCDC site. The first phase will include the delivery of 100MW of power within 12 months of securing funding, with the full 250MW targeted for completion within an 18-month timeline. Gray emphasized the importance of the agreement as a foundational element in bringing the data center campus online quickly and efficiently. The site's development is already well underway, with the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment successfully completed. Work is also progressing on air permitting, an essential step in ensuring full regulatory compliance for power generation and data center operations. In parallel, TCDC, along with partners Sharon AI and PFES, is evaluating the integration of advanced carbon capture technologies. This reflects a broader commitment to environmental responsibility and aligns with emerging sustainability requirements for large-scale data infrastructure. The joint venture is also engaged in active discussions with multiple prospective customers, including companies seeking access to “powered land” for rapid deployment of their computing infrastructure. In terms of next steps, the project is focused on securing natural gas supply agreements to fuel the planned generation capacity, while also advancing interconnection planning with regional grid partners. These milestones will be critical in aligning the data center with the energy and digital infrastructure required to support high-performance workloads. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nehc #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors

Metallic Minerals CEO Greg Johnson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss key developments at the company's flagship La Plata project in Colorado and its Keno Silver project in Yukon, Canada—both central to the company's long-term growth strategy. At the La Plata copper-silver-gold project, Johnson highlighted the definition of a substantial resource base, with over one billion pounds of copper and 18 million ounces of silver, in addition to gold, platinum group elements, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals. Johnson emphasized the scale and potential of La Plata, calling it “an opportunity very similar to those early days at Galore,” a project that was ultimately sold to major players Teck and Newmont. The project's significance is further underscored by its designation as a critical mineral resource area by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflecting the federal government's increasing prioritization of domestic critical mineral production. This designation not only elevates the strategic value of La Plata but is also expected to help accelerate permitting and development timelines. Adding further validation to the project's potential, Newmont Corporation has taken a strategic equity stake in Metallic Minerals, joining renowned resource investor Eric Sprott. Johnson shared that drilling funded by Newmont yielded “spectacular intercepts,” including over 800 metres of continuous mineralization from surface. He noted this early success is just the beginning, as the company has identified 25 additional porphyry targets across the property, pointing to massive upside for future exploration. Shifting focus to the company's Canadian assets, Johnson discussed progress at the Keno Silver project in the Yukon Territory, where Metallic Minerals has now defined a maiden resource of 18 million ounces of silver. Plans are underway for expanded exploration and drilling in 2025 to build on this foundation. In addition to hard rock exploration, Johnson noted increased royalty production from the company's Klondike alluvial portfolio, providing near-term revenue streams that support ongoing exploration efforts without diluting shareholders. #proactiveinvestors #metallicmineralscorp #tsxv #mmg #otcqb #mmngf #CopperExploration #CriticalMinerals #LaPlataProject #SilverMining #ResourceUpdate #MiningInvesting #Newmont #YukonMining #JuniorMining #GregJohnson #ProactiveInvestors

PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield joined Proactive's Steve Darling to discuss current bond market dynamics and the investment approach behind the firm's Performance Trust Total Return Bond ETF. Dranfield addressed market concerns around volatility, noting that despite global uncertainty, the bond market has shown relative stability. “The actual bond market hasn't been as volatile as it has been historically,” he said, referencing the ten-year U.S. Treasury. He explained that higher coupon income has helped offset price swings, resulting in less dramatic movement than equities. As an example, Dranfield noted that someone buying a ten-year Treasury on April 4th would have seen only a 3.5% drawdown from peak to trough, compared to an 18% drop in the S&P 500. He emphasized the lower risk profile of bonds, their role in diversification, and the certainty of income they offer in a broader portfolio. Turning to the ETF itself, Dranfield described it as a “best ideas type fund” specifically designed to give European investors access to U.S. bond markets. Importantly, he stressed that the fund is “rate-agnostic”—not based on predictions about the direction of interest rates—but structured to perform well across both rising and falling rate environments. The fund's flexible strategy seeks to manage risk while identifying value across different segments of the fixed-income market. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #PTAssetManagement #BondETF #TotalReturn #ShapeManagement #InvestmentStrategies #BondMarket #InterestRates #USInvesting #StructuredCredit #EuropeanInvestors #FinanceInterview

Chariot Transitional Energy CEO Adonis Pouroulis joined Steve Darling from Proactive to talk about the company's recent $5.5 million net fundraise and strategic decision to split its renewable energy and oil & gas divisions into two standalone businesses. Pouroulis said the raise was completed quickly and successfully to support this transformation, describing it as a move driven by both divisions gaining “critical mass and momentum.” On the oil and gas side, Pouroulis outlined Chariot's renewed focus in Morocco where the company has regained operatorship and a 75% stake in offshore gas concessions. The onshore Lixus field has yielded three wells, two of which were successful. Although the third well, Anchois-3, was less productive, he stressed that “we found gas.” The company plans to redesign the development to scale appropriately. In the renewable energy division, Chariot has secured $175 million in funding for its electricity trading platform, Etana, with backing from Standard Bank, BII, GuarantCo and Norfund. This platform will support 400MW of near-development wind and solar projects across Southern Africa. The green hydrogen venture in Mauritania, in partnership with Total, remains a longer-term prospect. Pouroulis added that shareholders will gain shares in both new entities, offering “two bites of the cherry.” #proactiveinvestors #chariottransitionalenergyltd #aim #char ##otc #oiglf #AdonisPouroulis #EnergySplit #RenewableEnergy #OilAndGas #MoroccoGas #ElectricityTrading #SouthAfricaEnergy #GreenHydrogen #InvestorUpdate
