    EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has signed a new Equipment Purchase Agreement (EPA) with BranchOut Foods Inc. (BOF), a rapidly growing international food technology company known for its innovative production of high-quality dehydrated fruit and vegetable-based products. Charleton explained that this marks the fourth large-scale Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) machine acquired by BranchOut Foods for its production operations in Peru. This expansion reflects BOF's increasing demand and market traction, as the company continues to produce a diverse range of dried fruit and vegetable products for direct-to-consumer sales, private-label programs, and bulk ingredient supply to leading global food manufacturers. In addition to the equipment agreement, EnWave and BOF have also signed a License Amendment granting BOF exclusive global rights to produce dragon fruit products using EnWave's proprietary REV™ technology. Under this arrangement, EnWave has agreed not to issue additional REV™ licenses for dragon fruit production to any other party, provided that BOF meets certain minimum royalty obligations throughout the term of the license. Charleton emphasized that this strengthened partnership with BOF demonstrates the growing commercial adoption of EnWave's REV™ technology and further validates its ability to enable premium-quality, shelf-stable food products at scale. He noted that expanding BOF's production capacity while granting them exclusivity in the dragon fruit category is a strategic move designed to fuel growth for both companies. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #BluechipClients #FoodTech #BusinessNews #Investing #RadiantEnergyVacuum #Agritech #Procescir #DehydrationTechnology #FoodInnovation #SupplyAgreement #InvestmentNews #ProactiveInvestors #microdried

    Arizona Gold & Silver hits thickest, highest-grade mineralization to date at Philadelphia Project

    Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark shared exciting news with Steve Darling from Proactive, reporting exceptionally strong assay results from the company's ongoing core drilling program at its flagship Philadelphia Project in Arizona. Stark revealed that drill hole PC25-156 has returned the highest-grade and thickest gold-silver intercept ever encountered on the property—an impressive 9.04 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 34 g/t silver over 20.43 metres. These results mark a major milestone in the project's development and significantly strengthen confidence in the scale and potential of the mineralized system. According to Stark, the PC25-156 results confirm that the Perry Vein system, a large and robust Au-Ag vein-style deposit, is not only maintaining but increasing in thickness and grade at depth. The mineralization is hosted in brecciated, banded, and massive quartz veins, comprising both quartz vein and quartz vein breccia textures. This combination of strong grades and widening intercepts suggests the system could support a much larger resource than previously envisioned. Importantly, continued drilling has consistently demonstrated that the Perry Vein system is expanding with depth. The company believes the deposit may be “ballooning” along a gentle plunge to the north, opening the door to a broader and richer mineralized zone. Building on the PC25-156 success, Arizona Gold and Silver plans to drill three additional holes to further test the expansion potential of the vein along strike and to validate its evolving geologic model. Stark emphasized that each new intercept is helping to unlock the full potential of the Philadelphia Project, which he described as one of the most promising exploration plays in the region. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors #perryzone #risingfawnzone

    Nano One Materials Corp Chief Operating Officer Alex Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's growing partnership with Sumitomo Metal Mining, a leading integrated mining, refining, and cathode active material (CAM) manufacturing company headquartered in Japan and operating across 14 countries. SMM is a major supplier to international Tier 1 automotive companies and global battery cell manufacturers. Holmes shared that SMM has now publicly expressed a high degree of confidence in Nano One's patented One-Pot process for producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and other cathode active materials. This confidence comes after extensive due diligence, which included product evaluations, performance testing, economic modeling, intellectual property reviews, and process technology trials conducted in Japan. According to Holmes, SMM believes Nano One's One-Pot method has the potential to deliver high-quality, cost-effective CAM production while significantly reducing energy consumption, wastewater generation, and supply chain risk—factors that are increasingly critical to large-scale battery manufacturing. He noted that SMM has committed to investing in and advancing this production technology as part of its broader strategy to supply sustainable, low-cost materials to its global customer base. Nano One and SMM first entered into a strategic collaboration agreement in September 2023, with the shared objective of commercializing the One-Pot process. Over the past year, their collaboration has centered on developing and validating LFP materials for strategic customers. Holmes said this progress has not only strengthened the partnership but has also bolstered SMM's conviction that the technology is ready to move toward commercialization. Looking ahead, Nano One and SMM will expand their joint efforts to pursue targeted LFP production opportunities with key strategic customers in the EV and energy storage sectors. Holmes emphasized that this marks a significant step in Nano One's journey from technology development to commercial-scale manufacturing, positioning the company as a key player in the global clean energy supply chain. #nanoonebatterymaterialscorp #tsx #nano #otc #nnomf #BatteryTech #CleanEnergy #LFP #Innovation #RenewableTech #GreenTech #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #FutureTech #MaterialsScience #TechNews #EnvironmentalImpact #EnergyStorage #TechInnovation #Cleantech #NanoMaterials #2024Updates #EcoFriendly #AdvancedMaterials #InvestmentOpportunity #SumitomoCollaboration #FeasibilityStudy

    Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has accelerated the rollout of its next-generation event ticketing software platform, moving its launch forward from Q4 to Q3 2025, with a blockchain-based ticketing system now scheduled to follow in Q4. This strategic acceleration allows the company to enter the rapidly expanding digital ticketing market ahead of schedule, positioning it to capture market share in an industry projected by Mordor Intelligence to reach $85 billion in 2025 and grow to $103 billion by 2030. Gappelberg highlighted that as event tickets have increasingly shifted to digital formats, the risks of fraud, counterfeiting, and ticket scalping have grown significantly. To address these challenges, Nextech3D.AI is introducing a platform that incorporates identity verification, secure tokenization, and blockchain technology to ensure ticket authenticity and security—helping protect both event organizers and consumers from fraudulent activity. The new platform will also introduce a fully transaction-based revenue model that aligns the company's growth directly with event ticket demand. Under this model, Nextech3D.AI will earn $0.99 per ticket sold plus 3% of the ticket price, creating a recurring, high-margin revenue stream that scales with both ticket volume and pricing. This approach represents a major departure from traditional flat platform fees and ties the company's success to the success of its customers' events. Gappelberg said this new model and accelerated rollout reflect Nextech3D.AI's commitment to innovation and to capturing value in a market long dominated by legacy players. Once blockchain tokenized ticketing launches in Q4, the company plans to compete across both the primary ticket sales and secondary resale markets, offering a secure, next-generation alternative to existing platforms. He emphasized that by integrating security, scalability, and flexible revenue generation, Nextech3D.AI's ticketing platform aims to redefine how digital ticketing is delivered—positioning the company as a disruptive new entrant in a global industry poised for strong, sustained growth. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

    Galliford Try Holdings PLC (LSE:GFRD) chief financial officer Kris Hampson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong performance in its full-year 2025 results and confidence in its strategic targets for 2030. Hampson said, “The simple message is that the messages of H1 have continued,” highlighting robust activity across Galliford Try's building and infrastructure divisions. He noted strong demand in education, custodial, and defence sectors, alongside significant progress in highways and environmental projects, aided by favourable weather. Galliford Try has secured an order book of £4.1 billion, with 92% of 2026 revenue already secured and 75% secured for 2027—up five percentage points from the previous year. Hampson attributed this visibility to a high proportion of framework-based work in the public and regulated sectors, which he described as “non-cyclical” and resilient. The company recently announced its participation in a civil engineering lot under a new National Grid high-voltage network framework, marking a strategic extension into the energy sector. Hampson explained that sustainable growth remains central to Galliford Try's 2030 strategy, which aims for consistent increases in revenue, profit, and cash. Having achieved its interim margin target of 3% a year early, Hampson outlined four key drivers to reach 4% by 2030: increased volumes, improved contracting environments, ongoing operational improvements, and growth in higher-margin specialist services. While a temporary revenue growth flattening is expected in 2026 due to the AMP7 to AMP8 transition in the water sector, with margin expansion and increased profitability in line with 2030, Hampson emphasised AMP8's scale and long-term potential, stating, “AMP8…is about £105 billion, so double AMP7.” Galliford Try remains confident about its medium-term outlook, citing strong margin progression and a healthy project pipeline well into 2028.

    Gunnison Copper reports breakthrough sorting results that could greatly boost project economics

    Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Stephen Twyerould joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share promising results from the company's initial mineralized material sorting test program at its flagship Gunnison Copper Project in southeast Arizona—one of the largest and most advanced copper development projects in the United States. The test program analyzed a half-ton sample of PQ drill core collected from the Martin Formation during Gunnison's recently completed metallurgical drilling campaign. The Martin Formation represents approximately 44% of the Gunnison resource base and is known as the deposit's highest acid-consuming rock type. The sample—made up of roughly 54% mineralized material and 46% internal waste—was selected to reflect the overall material characteristics of this formation. Twyerould described the results as “extremely encouraging,” noting their potential to significantly reduce acid consumption while maintaining high copper recovery rates—two critical factors for the project's economics. These findings will directly support the company's forthcoming updated preliminary economic assessment and planned pre-feasibility study. According to the company, more than 90% of the internal acid-consuming waste was successfully removed from the mineralized material using commercial-scale optical sorting equipment. This waste rejection is expected to lower acid consumption by as much as fourfold while maintaining metal recovery performance. Importantly, less than 1% of the total copper content was lost to the waste stream, ensuring that copper recovery—and potential revenue—remains strong. Twyerould emphasized that this breakthrough could meaningfully improve the project's operating costs, environmental profile, and overall financial returns, reinforcing Gunnison Copper's position as a leading development-stage copper asset in the United States. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf r #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #MiningInvestment #CommodityMarkets #CopperProduction #ArizonaMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CopperDemand #MetalsAndMining

    Fineqia targets digital asset treasury leadership as market shifts from accumulation to yield

    Fineqia International CEO Bundeep Rangar joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insight into the rapidly evolving Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) landscape and how the company is positioning itself to capitalize on this emerging sector. Rangar explained that an increasing number of companies are now holding digital assets—particularly top-tier cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum—as long-term balance sheet assets. This trend, he noted, has been accelerated by high-profile corporate adopters such as MicroStrategy and growing institutional interest fueled by greater regulatory clarity in the United States. “Holding on to crypto, particularly top coins, has become a strategically valuable thing to do,” Rangar said, emphasizing that corporate treasuries now see digital assets as a hedge and a growth vehicle. He observed that DAT companies have historically traded at a premium due to the scarcity of access to crypto markets, but these premiums are beginning to compress as the market matures. Against this backdrop, Rangar highlighted Fineqia's competitive edge: its ability to deliver yield-bearing exposure to digital assets through its suite of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs). This approach allows DATs to generate returns on their holdings while maintaining compliance with U.S. Investment Company Act restrictions by utilizing the operating company exemption. Fineqia currently offers yield-focused products such as YBTC and YADA, with approximately $55–$60 million in assets under management. Rangar said the company is positioning itself for the next phase of the market's evolution—a shift away from simple asset accumulation and toward generating sustainable yield. He added that this transition will be driven by the growing adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. “The shift will go from stablecoins and DATs this summer to DeFi in the fall and winter,” he remarked. Rangar emphasized that by bridging traditional financial structures with decentralized yield opportunities, Fineqia aims to establish itself as a leader in the DAT ecosystem as it enters a period of rapid growth and transformation. #proactiveinvestors #fineqiainternationalinc #cse #fnq #otc #fnqqf #DigitalAssets #CryptoStrategy #ETP #DAT #DeFi #Bitcoin #Cardano #DigitalTreasury #CryptoYield #InvestmentStrategy #ProactiveInvestors #BundeepRangar

    Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone for the company's dermatology pipeline: the commencement of patient recruitment for its SKNJCT-004 Phase 2 clinical study, designed to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma of the skin. The trial has officially begun enrolling participants at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, following earlier “study may proceed” approval granted by the UAE Department of Health. Bokhari explained that the study is expected to randomize 36 patients across four leading medical centers in the UAE. In addition to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, recruitment is set to begin at several other prominent institutions, including Sheikh Shakbout Medical City, Burjeel Medical City, Rashid Hospital, Clemenceau Medical Center, and the American Hospital of Dubai. This multi-center approach aims to accelerate enrollment while ensuring the study draws on a broad and diverse patient population. The SKNJCT-004 trial will assess the efficacy of two dose levels of Medicus Pharma's investigational therapy D-MNA compared to a placebo control. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups: a placebo group receiving P-MNA, a low-dose group receiving 100μg of D-MNA, and a high-dose group receiving 200μg of D-MNA. The company believes that a non-invasive therapy could transform the standard of care for BCC by offering patients an alternative to surgery or other destructive modalities. Bokhari also highlighted that Medicus Pharma continues to advance its broader clinical program targeting BCC. The company's SKNJCT-003 Phase 2 study is currently underway at nine clinical sites across the United States, with patient randomization having commenced in August 2024. In March 2025, the company reported a positively trending interim analysis from SKNJCT-003, demonstrating more than 60% clinical clearance—an encouraging early indicator of the therapy's potential efficacy. The company has also closed its acquisition of Antev, a UK-based biotech focused on next-generation gonadotrophin releasing hormone antagonists, noting the company now controls three FDA-approved clinical studies. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

    Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company presented four scientific posters at the PAINWEEK 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, showcasing robust data from two pivotal Phase 3 trials of Tonmya® for the treatment of fibromyalgia. The first study, RELIEF, was a 14-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, while the second, RESILIENT, served as a confirmatory efficacy and safety trial. Results across both studies demonstrated that Tonmya significantly reduced fibromyalgia-related pain while maintaining a favorable tolerability profile. Unlike conventional pain therapies, Tonmya is designed to pharmacologically target nonrestorative sleep by antagonizing receptors that regulate sleep architecture—addressing a central mechanism thought to perpetuate fibromyalgia symptoms. Dr. Lederman noted that beyond reducing pain, Tonmya's mechanism of action may help improve a wide spectrum of fibromyalgia symptoms, potentially supporting earlier diagnosis, timely intervention, and improved long-term outcomes. Importantly, the therapy represents a non-opioid treatment option at a time when safer alternatives are in high demand. With FDA approval secured, Tonix is now preparing to launch Tonmya commercially in the coming quarter, marking a transformative milestone for both the company and the fibromyalgia community. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #Biotech #TonixPharmaceuticals #Tonmya #Fibromyalgia #FDAApproval #NonOpioid #PainManagement #ChronicPain #NociplasticPain #Cyclobenzaprine #MoveFibroForward #Painweek2025

    Arrow Exploration CEO Marshall Abbott joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a comprehensive operational update on the company's rapidly advancing activities in Colombia. Abbott revealed that Arrow has successfully made three new oil discoveries in the region—discoveries that have already led to the drilling of 39 development wells. He described this as evidence of the project's “scope and repeatability,” underscoring the company's ability to consistently replicate exploration success and swiftly convert it into production. Abbott noted that Arrow has emerged as one of the most active and dynamic operators in Colombia's oil sector. The company is currently producing approximately 4,800 barrels of oil per day, representing a 45% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge in production highlights the effectiveness of Arrow's drilling program and its ability to rapidly scale output from newly discovered resources. Looking ahead, Abbott said the company will continue to pursue a strategy focused on low-risk exploration drilling to drive further growth. One exploration well is scheduled to spud on September 16, with three additional wells planned to follow shortly thereafter. He emphasized that this steady pipeline of drilling activity is designed to unlock new reserves while maintaining predictable operational performance. Abbott also discussed the company's investments in critical water disposal infrastructure—a key component in supporting sustained production growth. “Now we have the capacity to handle just under 140,000 barrels of water per day with three disposal wells,” he explained. This expanded capacity allows Arrow to increase pump speeds across its producing wells, which in turn supports higher production rates and operational efficiency. Financially, Arrow remains in a robust position. The company is currently debt free and holds approximately $13 million in cash, with strong monthly cash flow supporting both ongoing operations and growth initiatives. Abbott confirmed that Arrow has set an internal target of reaching 10,000 barrels per day, a goal the company plans to achieve through a combination of organic growth from its existing portfolio and strategic asset acquisitions that complement its core operations in Colombia. #proactiveinvestors #arrowexplorationinc #aim #axl #tsxv #axl #ColombiaEnergy #MarshallAbbott #Q1Results #OilDrilling #EnergyInvestment #SeismicSurvey #WaterDisposal #PrepaymentDeal #ExplorationAndProduction #LlanosBasin #EnergySector #ProactiveInvestors

    Sigyn Therapeutics to launch multi-site trial of novel blood-filtering therapy in high-risk patients

    Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. has announced plans to initiate a multi-site clinical feasibility study evaluating its breakthrough Sigyn Therapy™ in patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease, the world's leading cause of death, according to the World Health Organization. CEO Jim Joyce told Proactive that Sigyn Therapy is a first-in-class whole-blood adsorption technology designed to be deployed on existing dialysis machines already found in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Unlike conventional approaches, the therapy is engineered to address multiple drivers of cardiovascular disease progression in a single treatment. Specific to CVD, Sigyn Therapy has been shown to reduce circulating inflammatory molecules that accelerate disease progression, while simultaneously targeting cholesterol-transporting lipoproteins that are responsible for heart attacks, strokes, and other major adverse cardiovascular events. Building on encouraging results from pre-clinical in vitro studies, the company is expanding its feasibility study protocol to include the measurement of lipoprotein reduction during therapy. This will allow investigators to quantify the dual-action benefit of Sigyn Therapy in reducing both inflammation and lipid-related risks. The upcoming feasibility study will be a critical step toward the company's long-term goal: advancing to a pivotal efficacy study required for potential regulatory clearance and commercialization. If successful, Sigyn Therapy could represent a transformative advancement in the treatment of cardiovascular disease by integrating seamlessly into existing hospital infrastructure while addressing some of the most urgent unmet needs in cardiac care. Joyce added that the company is in the process of modifying its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for submission to the FDA, to formally include Ldl-c and Lp(a) reduction as observational endpoints. #proactiveinvestors #sigyntherapeuticsinc #otcqb #sigy #CardiovascularDisease #Dialysis #SigynTherapeutics #MedicalDevices #BloodPurification #ClinicalTrials #Lipoproteins #StatinAlternative #EndStageRenalDisease #FDAReview

    Happy Creek Minerals CEO Jason Bahnsen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of a large-scale diamond drilling campaign at the company's 100%-owned Fox Tungsten Project, located in the South Cariboo district of British Columbia. This new 2025/2026 exploration program marks an important step toward growing the project's already impressive high-grade resource base and advancing it toward development as a key supplier of critical minerals in North America. Bahnsen explained that the company has planned up to 100 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 10,000 metres as part of this resource expansion initiative. The campaign will target several newly identified zones that were outlined through geological mapping, prospecting, and follow-up work from earlier drill programs. By systematically testing these zones, the company aims to significantly increase the size and confidence level of the existing NI 43-101 resource estimate. The Fox Tungsten Project is considered one of the highest-grade tungsten deposits globally, positioning it as a strategic domestic source of this critical metal, which is essential for applications ranging from defense systems to renewable energy and advanced manufacturing. Happy Creek's most recent NI 43-101 estimate from 2018 outlined 582,400 tonnes at 0.83% tungsten trioxide (WO₃) in the Indicated category and 565,400 tonnes at 1.23% WO₃ in the Inferred category. Bahnsen noted that expanding the resource will strengthen the project's potential to play a key role in supplying secure, local tungsten to the North American critical metals market, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains. #proactiveinvestors #happycreekmineralsltd #tsxv #hpy #Tungsten #HappyCreekMinerals #FoxProject #CriticalMinerals #ResourceExpansion #DrillingUpdate #MiningNews #CanadianMining #StrategicMetals #DefenseMetals

    VettaFi's Stacey Morris sees midstream growth ahead on rising LNG demand and strong free cash flow

    VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share her insights on the outlook for the midstream energy sector as 2025 nears its end. Morris began by defining midstream companies as the “logistics arms of the energy space,” explaining that they are primarily responsible for transporting, storing, and processing energy commodities such as oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. She emphasized that midstream operators are typically structured around a fee-based business model, which allows them to generate stable and predictable cash flows regardless of commodity price volatility. Morris highlighted that free cash flow generation remains a cornerstone strength across the midstream sector. This consistent financial performance has enabled companies to return significant capital to shareholders through dividend growth and share buyback programs, reinforcing investor confidence. “The free cash flow theme is very much still intact for this space,” she noted, underscoring the resilience of the sector even amid shifting market dynamics. A major growth catalyst for midstream companies, Morris said, is the rapidly increasing global demand for natural gas. She pointed out that U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity is expected to expand by 80% by 2030, driven by large-scale projects that are already under construction. This export boom is being complemented by rising electricity demand within the U.S., much of which is anticipated to be powered by natural gas—a trend that could further bolster throughput volumes and revenue opportunities for midstream firms. Morris also cited a more favourable U.S. regulatory environment under the current administration as a supportive factor, noting that policymakers appear more receptive to new pipeline construction and LNG infrastructure expansion. This regulatory backdrop is helping reduce permitting hurdles and enabling companies to advance long-term capital projects that can drive growth. For European investors seeking to gain exposure to this resilient part of the energy market, Morris highlighted the American Midstream Energy Dividend UCITS ETF as a potential vehicle. She said the ETF can serve multiple purposes within a portfolio, including providing consistent income through dividends, offering defensive exposure to the energy sector, and delivering diversification benefits compared to traditional European energy majors such as Shell and BP. #proactiveinvestors #MidstreamEnergy #EnergyETF #NaturalGasDemand #StaceyMorris #EnergyInfrastructure #AlerianETF #OilPrices #LNG #InvestorInsights #CommodityMarkets #EnergyMarketUpdate #DefensiveInvesting #ProactiveInvestors

    Accesso Technology Group PLC (LSE:ACSO, OTC:LOQPF) chief executive Steve Brown talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about trading momentum after June's heat-wave, the integration of recent acquisitions, upcoming AI features and how the company is thinking about capital allocation. Brown said July and August trading returned to expectations after a softer June, noting that “what we lost in June, we gained in July,” with August looking “more in line with our expectations.” He outlined how a refreshed commercial focus is improving win rates by narrowing teams onto specific products (including Paradocs, Horizon, 1RISK and Freedom) and strengthening sales enablement — from faster responses to better proposals — so sales directors are better supported. On M&A, Brown explained the strategic fit of 1RISK, a waiver platform widely used by Accesso's ski customers, producing roughly 4–5 million waivers annually. Bringing it in-house should allow deeper product integration and provide a competitive edge, with use cases extending beyond ski to projects such as Horizon deployments in Saudi Arabia. Looking ahead, Accesso is developing voice-based, self-service ordering — for example, booking tickets via natural speech and completing payment through Apple Pay or Google Wallet. Prototypes for Passport and Freedom are complete, with a debut in the coming months and general availability targeted for next year. On the outlook, Brown highlighted resilient cash generation and said the company will prioritise acquisitions but could consider buybacks or other returns depending on opportunities and valuation. Adjusting for a one-off hardware sale last year, revenue was up 1.2% on a constant-currency basis. “We'll continue to focus on acquisitions first… and if we don't see the acquisition opportunities there, we're going to focus on buybacks and other ways to return that capital to our shareholders,” he said.

    Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a transformational milestone for the company: the signing of a production sharing contract and joint venture agreement with the Republic of Gabon and the Gabon Oil Company (GOC) for the exploration, appraisal, development, and production of oil and gas on Offshore Block C-7, now officially renamed Ngulu. Under the terms of the agreement, ReconAfrica has been designated as operator with a 55% working interest. The Government of Gabon has emphasized its commitment to establishing a stable and attractive regulatory framework that supports investment and leverages the country's abundant hydrocarbon resources to create lasting economic growth for its citizens. Reinsborough highlighted that this partnership marks ReconAfrica's entry as an offshore operator in West Africa, a strategic shift that expands the company's growth potential. Block C-7 (Ngulu) spans 1,214 km² of shallow water acreage offshore central Gabon, situated on trend and offset to a series of prolific producing fields in the region, which range in size from 38 million to 250 million barrels. One of the block's key assets is the Loba oil discovery, drilled in 1976, which encountered 140 metres of gross hydrocarbon pay (70 metres net pay). This discovery provides low-risk appraisal and development opportunities and is estimated to hold the potential for ~20,000 barrels per day of production, comparable to nearby producing fields. Beyond near-term development, Ngulu offers significant exploration upside, with an inventory of 28 mapped prospects. These prospects are considered geologically analogous to successful Gulf of Mexico play types, opening the door to substantial resource additions. The company views Ngulu as a balanced project, combining short-cycle development potential with meaningful exploration upside—an alignment that could drive near-term cash flow while securing ReconAfrica's role in one of Africa's most prospective offshore basins. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy #gabon #ngulu

    ACG Metals CEO Artem Volynets joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to share news the company's ordinary shares have qualified and commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker “ACGAF”, while continuing to trade on the London Stock Exchange. Volynets said this milestone is a key step in ACG's strategy to broaden its international shareholder base and expand visibility among U.S. institutional and retail investors, positioning the company for its next phase of growth. ACG's financial performance has already demonstrated strong momentum, with market capitalization doubling in the past year from $100 million to $200 million. The company generated $90 million in free cash flow last fiscal year and is forecasting $75 million this year, even under conservative assumptions. Looking ahead, as ACG transitions to copper production by mid-2026, management expects annual free cash flow to rise to ~$100 million, implying the stock is currently trading at roughly 2x projected free cash flow. The company's existing gold operations in Turkey continue to perform strongly, with 2025 production guidance of 36,000–38,000 ounces. At an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of ~$2,000/oz, ACG is delivering “very significant margins” in the current gold price environment. Importantly, the company's brownfield copper expansion is fully funded. The project requires approximately $70 million of capital investment, while ACG already has double that amount on its balance sheet. A bond issue earlier this year was met with strong demand and is currently trading at a significant premium, underlining investor confidence in the company's strategy. Volynets added with copper positioned as a critical metal for electrification and the energy transition, ACG Metals is entering the next stage of its evolution as a cash-generating gold producer transitioning into a diversified, high-margin copper growth story. #proactiveinvestors #acgmetalslimited #lse #acg #otcqx #acgaf #CopperMining #GoldProduction #FreeCashFlow #MiningStocks #OTCQX #ArtemVolynets #GoldPrices #MiningInvestment #CopperExpansion #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors

    Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley and Chief Development Officer Erich Krumanocker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone at the company's Dubhe-1 appraisal well in Alaska, where the lateral has been successfully drilled and landed in the SMD-B horizon—the primary target identified in the earlier Dubhe-1 pilot hole. The second phase of the Dubhe-1 programme involved plugging back the pilot hole and drilling a lateral sidetrack into the SMD-B zone, entering the target horizon roughly 550 feet northeast of the pilot hole. The well ultimately achieved a measured depth of 15,800 feet, with approximately 5,200 feet within the SMD-B reservoir, far exceeding the company's pre-drill expectations. The production test lateral was initially planned for 3,000–4,000 feet, but optimized drilling based on pilot results enabled Pantheon to capture significant upside. In addition to confirming the SMD-B reservoir, the sidetrack also encountered several shallow hydrocarbon-bearing zones. All intervals were logged with a full suite of Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools, and Volatiles Analysis Service (VAS) was conducted on both sealed and unsealed cuttings samples to provide detailed reservoir data. Importantly, the results from Dubhe-1 have substantially increased Pantheon's resource base. The company's best estimate of marketable liquids in the Ahpun area now stands at 589 million barrels, representing a 228 million barrel increase—approximately 63% growth—over previously certified estimates. Pantheon is now analyzing data from both the pilot and the lateral to design an optimized hydraulic stimulation programme and flowback operation. The company intends to apply modern completion techniques drawn from the Permian Basin, where such methods have driven efficiency and strong recoveries. Pantheon has already executed contracts and Master Service Agreements with key service providers, including several new suppliers bringing expertise from mature unconventional basins to Alaska's North Slope. Management expects this approach will deliver higher efficiency at lower cost as the company advances toward production. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #Dubhe1 #AlaskaOil #OilAndGasDevelopment #EnergyStocks #NaturalGas #AlaskaEnergy #OilExploration #OilProduction #PantheonDrilling #InvestingInOil

    Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's 22% month-over-month increase in Bitcoin production for August 2025, underscoring both the company's operational strength and its accelerating expansion in Paraguay. Daubaras reported that HIVE mined a total of 247 Bitcoin in August, averaging more than 8 BTC per day. With the successful completion of Phase 2 of the Yguazú Project, HIVE also exceeded 18 exahash per second (EH/s) of global mining capacity. The company is now consistently producing over 8.5 BTC daily, all powered by renewable hydroelectric energy from the Itaipú Dam, one of the world's largest hydro facilities. HIVE is also advancing construction at its 100 MW Phase 3 Valenzuela site, which Daubaras confirmed is now substantially complete. The deployment of mining infrastructure is already underway, with the first six Bitmain S21+ Hydro containers (≈350 PH/s) online. As a result, HIVE's global fleet efficiency has increased to approximately 18.5 EH/s. This achievement marks the company's third 100 MW green energy buildout in Paraguay, further solidifying HIVE's leadership in environmentally sustainable Bitcoin mining. All ASIC purchases for Phase 3 are fully funded, and additional units are expected to be delivered and installed over the coming weeks. Once Phase 3 is fully operational, HIVE anticipates producing approximately 12 BTC per day, based on current network difficulty. At that scale, the company expects to represent roughly 2.5–3% of the global Bitcoin mining network, while maintaining fleet-wide energy efficiency at around 17.5 joules per terahash (J/TH). Daubaras emphasized that HIVE's strategic growth in Paraguay not only supports its target of 25 EH/s by U.S. Thanksgiving 2025, but also demonstrates how the company is scaling its operations responsibly with renewable energy, providing both shareholders and the Bitcoin network with sustainable value creation. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BitcoinMining #ParaguayMining #DataCenter #Exahash #S21Miners #DigitalAssets #ProactiveInvestors

    to provide an update on the company's first on-farm, containerized green ammonia production system, which is preparing for launch on a large-scale farm in Manitoba. Clifford explained that the breakthrough system is specifically designed to put farmers in direct control of their nitrogen fertilizer production, historically one of the largest and most volatile input costs in agriculture. By enabling ammonia production directly on-site, farmers can avoid exposure to global supply chain disruptions and extreme price fluctuations that often characterize commercial fertilizer markets. “This needs to sit with the farmer because ultimately they're the end user,” Clifford emphasized, noting that the system's design not only improves supply security but also creates meaningful long-term cost savings. The initial deployment in Manitoba will leverage the province's abundant and low-cost green electricity. Looking ahead, Clifford highlighted the system's flexibility to integrate renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, which could further reduce production costs to only a few hundred dollars per ton—a significant contrast to current market prices that often exceed $1,000 per ton. The first unit is now in the final testing phase on an 11,000-acre farm near Winnipeg, with results expected to validate the system's performance and economic viability. At the same time, FuelPositive is actively raising capital to transition from research and development to full-scale commercialization and manufacturing. Clifford added that the company has already seen strong interest from farmers in Manitoba and internationally, many of whom are waiting to evaluate the system's rollout before committing to orders. This early demand underscores the global potential of FuelPositive's solution to decentralize fertilizer production and help drive the agricultural industry toward greater resilience and sustainability.

    North Bay Resources CEO Jared Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has entered into a 50/50 joint venture earn-in agreement with Toiyabe Kona Exploration to advance the Silver Strike Concessions in Lander County, Nevada. The property includes several historic past-producing mines, including the X-Ray Mine, OK Mine, and Dudley-B Shaft, as well as multiple nearby workings. Lazerson noted that while the Reese River District produced significant silver during its initial operating period between 1865 and 1891, the area has not undergone systematic modern exploration or development. This lack of recent exploration creates a compelling opportunity to re-examine the district's potential using modern geological methods and technology. The company's immediate exploration priorities include identifying remaining mid- and high-grade mineralization in surface dykes, extensions, and at depth of known veins. To targeting new vein discoveries within the prolific district, and evaluating bulk-tonnage, low-grade material across the area, including within existing mines and adits. The company says any ore identified during early-stage work will be shipped to North Bay's Bishop, California mill for processing. Lazerson confirmed that field crews will mobilize as early as next week to begin geochemical sampling of dumps, outcrops, and tunnels, along with geological mapping and an infrastructure assessment of existing portals, tunnels, and shafts. A property-wide geophysical survey is expected to commence shortly thereafter, as North Bay continues to actively expand its claim holdings in the area. #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #GoldRush #ProactiveInvestors #PreciousMetals #MiningUpdates ---#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

    Baselode Energy Corp. has announced a major exploration breakthrough at its Aberdeen Project in Nunavut, where radioactivity has been discovered in the sandstone just above the unconformity at the Loki target. This marks the first documented instance of sandstone-hosted, unconformity-style uranium mineralization in the northeast Thelon Basin—a geological setting comparable to the prolific Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. CEO Rebecca Hunter told Proactive that drilling to date has intersected a broad and intense alteration zone extending more than 600 metres, confirming the presence of a large-scale unconformity uranium system in the region. These results significantly elevate the exploration potential of both the Loki target and the broader Aberdeen project. Geological interpretation also highlights the presence of a sandstone outlier and substantial structural disruption within the Thelon formation at Loki. This indicates meaningful post-Basin fault movement—a critical driver of the hydrothermal systems necessary for uranium deposit formation. Baselode's 2025 exploration program is designed to aggressively test these targets and deliver additional high-grade uranium discoveries to build critical resource scale. The company noted that results from drilling at the Bjorn, Tarzan, and Lobster targets will be released as they are processed. The broader 4 km by 1 km gravity anomaly hosting prospective alteration zones underscores the scale of opportunity that remains to be unlocked. With this new discovery, Baselode has positioned the Aberdeen project as one of the most promising uranium exploration plays in the Thelon Basin, supporting the growing strategic importance of domestic uranium supply for the clean energy transition. #proactiveinvestors #baselodeenergycorp #tsxv #find #otcqb #bsenf #rebeccahunter #athabascabasin BaselodeEnergy #UraniumExploration #ThelonBasin #AthabascaBasin #NunavutMining #UraniumStocks #NuclearEnergy #ResourceInvesting #DrillResults #MiningNews
