Tiziana Life Sciences CEO Ivor Elrifi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss updated clinical findings from the company's ongoing Expanded Access Program evaluating intranasal foralumab in patients living with non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS). The newly released data, updated through March 2026 and reflecting patient outcomes from 14 individuals, continue to support the therapy's safety profile while also demonstrating signs of meaningful clinical benefit. Elrifi explained that patients receiving intranasal foralumab have continued to tolerate the treatment well over extended periods, with no new safety concerns emerging during the evaluation period. The updated findings suggest encouraging trends toward stabilization of disability progression, an important consideration for patients with SPMS, where treatment options remain limited and disease progression can significantly impact quality of life. The company highlighted that disability was assessed using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), a commonly used clinical measurement in multiple sclerosis studies. Results indicated favorable movement toward disease stabilization, while additional benefits were observed in patient-reported fatigue measures. Fatigue, one of the most challenging and persistent symptoms affecting individuals with multiple sclerosis, was assessed using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). According to the updated data, nearly half of participating patients — 46% — experienced clinically meaningful improvements of four points or greater on the MFIS scale, suggesting potential quality-of-life benefits associated with treatment. Elrifi emphasized that foralumab represents a differentiated approach in neuroimmunology. He noted that the therapy is currently the only fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody in clinical development and that its intranasal delivery mechanism could provide a novel pathway for immune system modulation. The company believes this approach may offer broader therapeutic potential across both neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. The latest findings strengthen Tiziana's growing body of evidence supporting foralumab's development and reinforce the company's strategy of advancing innovative therapies designed to address unmet needs in neurological disease treatment. #proactiveinvestors #tizianalifescienceslts #nasdaq #tlsa #newceo #ivorelrifi #Foralumab #SPMS #Biotech #ClinicalTrials #Neuroimmunology #HealthcareInnovation #DrugDevelopment #MedTech

Heliostar Metals Vice President, Investor Relations and Development, Stephen Soock joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's evolving growth strategy and its transition from explorer to emerging mid-tier gold producer. The company is advancing a production-focused approach designed to create near-term cash flow while supporting longer-term expansion objectives. Soock explained that Heliostar's strategy centers on maximizing existing assets and generating internally funded growth rather than relying heavily on external capital raises. By utilizing cash flow generated from production activities, the company aims to build a sustainable pathway toward becoming a larger gold producer by the end of the decade. During the interview, Soock said Heliostar is targeting annual production of approximately 300,000 ounces of gold by decade's end through a portfolio of projects that are either already in operation or nearing production readiness. He described the company's development approach as a “bootstrapping methodology,” allowing Heliostar to leverage smaller-scale production to create cash flow and fund future opportunities. The company's La Colorada and San Agustin mining assets have recently returned to production following periods of care and maintenance. According to Soock, La Colorada required only a relatively modest investment of approximately US$25 million to restart operations, highlighting the company's disciplined capital allocation strategy. San Agustin has also resumed production following permitting approvals in Mexico, further strengthening Heliostar's operational foundation. Looking ahead, Heliostar continues advancing its Ana Paula project, which is being targeted for production in 2028. Soock noted that the company has already invested significantly in infrastructure and previous development work at the site. This existing foundation may help reduce future development costs while accelerating progress through engineering studies and project optimization efforts. Discussing the economics of current operations, Soock highlighted the strong profitability environment for gold producers. He noted that with gold prices near US$5,000 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs around US$2,000, the company sees meaningful margin potential and expects strong operating cash flow to support future growth initiatives. The company's strategy reflects a broader focus on balancing production growth, disciplined spending, and exploration upside as it works toward building a larger and more diversified gold production platform. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #hstr #otcqx #hstxf #mining #anapaula #lacolorada #sanagustin #gold #goldstrike #utah #PreciousMetals #MiningStocks #Exploration #ProductionGrowth #NaturalResources

Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company's partnership with DISA Technologies offers a rare opportunity to recover uranium from historic mine waste in the prolific Uravan Belt — with no capex or operating cost exposure for Metals One.

Mercado Minerals CEO Daniel Rodriguez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's advancing silver exploration projects in Mexico, including recent drilling success at the Copalito project and ongoing work at the Zamora property. Rodriguez explained that Mercado Minerals is focused on silver exploration along the western edge of the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental mining district in Sinaloa. The company acquired the Copalito project at the end of 2025. The property hosts six known silver and gold veins extending more than eight kilometres across the project area. Historical exploration included 81 drill holes, although management noted that only approximately 60% of the known veins had been tested previously and only to shallow depths of around 100 metres. Mercado Minerals has now completed roughly 70% of its current 3,000-metre drill program at Copalito. Initial assay results returned encouraging grades, including an intercept of 6.5 metres grading 256 grams per tonne silver and 1.46 grams per tonne gold, including a higher-grade section of 3.45 metres grading 445 grams per tonne silver and 2.26 grams per tonne gold. Rodriguez said the results demonstrate continuity of the mineralized system both along strike and at depth, supporting the company's broader exploration thesis for the property. The CEO also provided an update on the Zamora project, which has not yet been drill tested. Mercado Minerals is currently working to restore additional claims into good standing while advancing surface exploration activities across the property. Early sampling at Zamora has returned multi-kilogram silver values along with elevated gold grades, and the company plans to advance toward drilling once the required administrative work is completed. Management believes its combination of historical exploration data, underexplored vein systems, and expanding drilling activity positions Mercado Minerals for continued exploration growth in one of Mexico's most prospective silver regions. #proactiveinvestors #mercadominerals #cse #merc #otcqb #mrmnf #SilverExploration #CopalitoProject #ZamoraProject #MexicoMining #SilverDiscovery #GoldSilver #DrillingResults #MineralExploration #Sinaloa #SierraMadreOccidental #HighGradeSilver #ResourceDevelopment #ExplorationUpdate #JuniorMining

Criterium Energy CEO Matthew Klukas joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strategy to expand oil and gas production in Indonesia through low-cost, infrastructure-led development projects. Klukas explained that Criterium Energy is focused on upstream opportunities across Southeast Asia and currently holds interests in three production sharing contracts (PSCs) in Indonesia. He pointed to strong domestic energy demand, supportive government policies, and Indonesia's goal of significantly increasing oil and gas production by 2030 as key industry tailwinds. The company's primary producing asset is the Tungkal PSC, which currently generates just under 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Criterium plans to materially increase production by bringing the Southeast Mengoepeh gas field online using existing wells, processing facilities, and transportation infrastructure. Klukas said the project is expected to cost less than US$2 million while potentially more than doubling current production and significantly improving company cash flow. He emphasized that leveraging existing infrastructure allows Criterium to rapidly add production with relatively low capital intensity. Beyond Tungkal, the company also holds an interest in the Bulu PSC, an offshore gas development project with future commercialization potential, as well as the West Salawati PSC, which offers additional long-term development and exploration upside. Management said the company's broader strategy is centered on growing production within internally generated cash flow while simultaneously reducing debt levels. Klukas also highlighted the speed at which projects can advance in Indonesia, noting that the Southeast Mengoepeh development is expected to move from final investment decision to first production in less than a year. Criterium believes its combination of low-cost development opportunities, existing infrastructure access, and exposure to growing Southeast Asian energy demand positions the company well for future growth. #proactiveinvestors #criteriumenergy #tsxv #ceq #OilAndGas #IndonesiaEnergy #NaturalGas #EnergyStocks #ProductionGrowth #SoutheastAsia #EnergyInfrastructure #ResourceInvesting

Arianne Phosphate Head of Strategic, Business Initiatives Brian Ostroff joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful continuous production of phosphoric acid using the company's high-purity phosphate concentrate sourced from Quebec. The achievement marks the first time phosphoric acid has been continuously produced in the province from a Quebec-sourced apatite concentrate in more than 130 years. The work was completed in partnership with Corem and supported by Natural Resources Canada. During testing at Corem's facilities, Arianne successfully produced approximately 1.5 tonnes of phosphoric acid continuously over a one-week period. The company said the results demonstrate the high quality of its phosphate concentrate and reinforce the potential for a fully localized phosphate supply chain within Canada. Management noted that the phosphoric acid generated from Arianne's concentrate can be readily upgraded into purified phosphoric acid, a key material used in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, high-performance fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. The company also emphasized that its concentrate requires significantly less sulphuric acid during processing compared to many competing phosphate sources, providing an additional strategic advantage as global sulphur supply chains face increasing geopolitical pressure, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz. Ostroff highlighted the growing importance of secure phosphate supply chains as governments and industries increasingly recognize phosphate as a critical mineral tied to energy transition technologies and food security. He noted that Arianne has invested approximately $100 million and more than 15 years advancing its Lac à Paul Project, which the company describes as the world's largest greenfield phosphate deposit capable of producing high-purity phosphate concentrate. Arianne also stated that Lac à Paul remains the only permitted phosphate mine in the Western world. Looking ahead, Arianne Phosphate continues discussions with corporate partners while advancing downstream initiatives focused on purified phosphoric acid production for Western markets. #proactiveinvetors #tsxv #dan #otcqb #drrsf #Phosphate #CriticalMinerals #LFPBatteries #QuebecMining #EnergyTransition #BatteryMaterials #Mining #CleanEnergy

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX, FRA:10VA) CEO Dr Daniel Vitt tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company is firmly on track to become a commercial-stage biotech, with Phase 3 readouts from its ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2 relapsing multiple sclerosis trials expected by the end of 2026 and an NDA filing targeted for 2027. A $400 million oversubscribed financing — with $200 million already in hand — has given Immunic the firepower to see it through. Vitt says the level of investor support reflects confidence in the clinical data and the scale of the opportunity across both relapsing and progressive MS. New CMO Dr Michael Panzara brings deep neurology expertise to support the final stretch toward potential approval, while fresh board appointments, including seasoned biopharmaceutical executive Jon Congleton and Thor Nagel of BVF Partners, signal growing institutional commitment.

Snail Games USA Chief Financial Officer Heidy Chow joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, highlighting strong revenue growth and a return to profitability. Snail USA reported net revenue of $27.3 million for the quarter, representing a 35.7% increase compared to $20.1 million in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by stronger contributions from ASA and Bellwright, which added approximately $4.2 million and $2.1 million in revenue respectively, along with a $2.5 million increase in deferred revenue recognized during the quarter. These gains were partially offset by lower revenue from ARK Mobile and ASE. The company also delivered a significant improvement in profitability. EBITDA increased 173.3% to $2.4 million compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income rose to $2.1 million versus a net loss of $1.9 million a year earlier. Management attributed the improved bottom line primarily to the $7.2 million increase in net revenue and a reduction in operating expenses, partially offset by higher taxes and increased cost of revenues. Operationally, total units sold climbed 42.6% to 2.2 million units, up from 1.5 million in the comparable period last year. The increase was largely driven by continued strength across the ARK: Survival Evolved franchise. Looking ahead, Snail USA expects its revenue mix to continue evolving alongside the planned launches of several new titles, including For the Stars, Nine Yin Sutra Immortal, and Nine Yin Sutra Wushu. The company also noted that multiple gaming events are scheduled throughout 2026, where additional updates on upcoming titles are expected to be shared. #proactiveinvestors #snail #nasdaq #snal #SnailInc #Gaming #VideoGames #ARKSurvivalEvolved #GameDevelopment #Entertainment #Esports #TechStocks #GamingIndustry

1911 Gold Corporation CEO Shaun Heinrichs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on underground resource expansion drilling at the company's True North Gold Project in Manitoba. The latest assay results include 12 drill holes totaling 3,608 metres from the underground exploration program targeting the L10 Zone. Heinrichs explained that drilling focused on extending mineralized veins beyond the boundaries of the current 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The program successfully intersected gold mineralization along extensions of the V-1010, V-1012, V-1020, V-1030, and V-1040 veins, while also potentially linking the L10 Zone with the larger 710-711 Zone at depth. Results to date suggest that mineralization has been extended by as much as 160 metres down-plunge and up to 80 metres along strike. One of the standout intercepts came from hole UG16-26-055, which returned 5.48 grams per tonne gold over 9.20 metres, including higher-grade intervals of 7.52 g/t gold over 4.10 metres and 14.80 g/t gold over 1.00 metre. The company said its ongoing exploration programs continue to identify new targets and resource growth opportunities that could potentially support increased production and extend mine life at True North. 1911 Gold currently has two underground drill rigs operating, with a third rig expected to be mobilized in the coming weeks. The expanded program includes infill and delineation drilling focused on areas included in the preliminary economic assessment mine plan, as well as exploration drilling targeting new zones and resource expansion opportunities. Management noted that results from both underground and surface drilling campaigns are expected to contribute to a global resource update planned for later this year. Additional assay results will be released as they become available. #proactiveinvestors #1911goldcorporation #1911gold #tsxv #aumb #otcqx #aumbf #GoldExploration #TrueNorthMine #GoldMining #TrueNorthProject #GoldExploration #Mining #ManitobaMining #Drilling #ResourceExpansion #JuniorMining

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

Midnight Sun Mining Corp Vice President of Business Development Adrian O'Brien joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on drilling results from the Dumbwa copper deposit at the company's Solwezi Project in Zambia. The Dumbwa deposit is located in the prolific Domes Region, positioned near major producing operations including First Quantum Minerals' Kansanshi mine and Barrick Gold's Lumwana mine. O'Brien said drilling at Dumbwa has now exceeded 200 holes totaling more than 42,000 metres. Results received to date confirm near-surface copper sulphide mineralization extending across a continuous strike length of approximately 5.3 kilometres, with assays currently available for the first four kilometres of drilled strike. The ongoing discovery and delineation program continues with four drill rigs focused on expanding the deposit to the north along strike and extending known mineralization to the east and west. The Dumbwa system remains open to the north along the full extent of the copper-in-soil anomaly, open in several eastern areas, and open at depth. Management described Dumbwa as an exceptionally large, structurally controlled copper sulphide deposit with very shallow mineralization that could support low-strip, low-cost future development scenarios. Current drilling has primarily targeted the upper 220 metres of the system with the objective of defining a resource suitable for rapid development potential. The company also noted that similar mineralization styles at the nearby Lumwana project extend to depths well beyond 200 metres, highlighting potential for deeper expansion at Dumbwa. The mineralized corridor ranges from approximately 200 metres to more than 500 metres wide east-to-west. Copper grades vary across the deposit, ranging from broad lower-grade intercepts exceeding 50 metres grading below 0.3% copper to higher-grade intervals exceeding 25 metres grading above 0.5% copper. O'Brien explained that grade variability is influenced by northwest-southeast structural features affecting the development of mineralized schists along strike, while grades remain relatively consistent across the width of individual mineralized zones. Exploration and drilling activities at Dumbwa are expected to continue on an ongoing basis. #proactiveinvestors #midnightsunminingcorp #tsxv #mma #otc #mdngf #mining #CopperExploration #ZambiaMining #Copper #ZambiaMining #Mining #Exploration #CriticalMinerals #CopperDiscovery #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks#dumbwa

Abacus Global Management CEO Jay Jackson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong first-quarter financial results and increased full-year guidance as momentum continues across its longevity-focused investment platform. Abacus reported first-quarter revenue of $59.4 million, representing a 35% increase from $44.1 million in the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by continued expansion in the company's Life Solutions segment. GAAP net income increased 59% year over year to $7.3 million, while adjusted net income rose 17% to $20.1 million. Adjusted earnings per share improved to $0.21 from $0.18 a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA climbed 33.3% to $32.7 million. The company also generated strong cash flow during the quarter, with operating cash flow totaling $91.7 million compared to negative $61.6 million in the prior-year period. Management attributed the improvement to increased cash generation tied to expanding assets under management. Gross assets under management reached approximately $3.6 billion, supported by $378 million in gross capital inflows. Assets under management within Abacus's longevity income funds grew nearly fourfold year over year to approximately $1 billion, while origination capital deployment increased 30% to $163.6 million. Jackson noted that the company's longevity-based assets continue attracting institutional demand because they are “structurally uncorrelated to credit and equity cycles,” providing diversification benefits in varying market environments. Strategically, Abacus continues advancing several major initiatives, including its previously announced agreement to acquire an approximately $53 million minority stake in Manning & Napier, which manages roughly $18 billion in assets. The companies also plan to establish a strategic alliance focused on product distribution, referrals, and joint product development. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. As of March 31, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $37.2 million and total outstanding debt of $330 million, net of deferred issuance costs and discounts. For the second quarter, management forecasts adjusted net income between $24 million and $26 million and adjusted EPS ranging from $0.24 to $0.26. #proactiveinvestors #abacusglobalmanagement #nasdaq #abl #EarningsBeat #FinancialGrowth #LifeSettlements #InvestorDemand #CashFlow #AssetManagement #Finance #Investing #AssetManagement #LifeSettlements #CapitalMarkets #FinancialResults #Growth #Investments #WealthManagement

Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the active deployment of three PowerBuoy® systems supporting maritime surveillance operations for the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's latest high-grade drill results from the Lion Zone discovery and discuss the decision to accelerate the timeline for its maiden mineral resource estimate. Lynch highlighted several recent standout drill intercepts, including 23 metres grading 11.5% copper equivalent, describing the results as “mind blowing numbers.” He noted that the Lion Zone continues to deliver strong high-grade mineralization as the company advances what it believes could become a significant copper discovery. Due to the growing scale and value of the project, Power Metallic has moved forward its mineral resource estimate timeline. Originally targeted for the first quarter of 2027, the maiden resource estimate is now expected in July. Lynch said analysts currently estimate the project could contain between 8 million and 16 million tonnes grading between 5% and 6% copper equivalent. The company also reported encouraging metallurgical test work, with recovery rates of approximately 95%, supporting the potential economic strength of the project. Beyond the current drilling success, Power Metallic continues expanding exploration efforts across its extensive 330-square-kilometre land package. Lynch explained that the company is deploying advanced muon tomography technology alongside Ideon Technologies to help identify new subsurface targets. The AI-driven approach uses cosmic ray data to detect dense rock formations commonly associated with massive sulphide mineralization. Power Metallic plans to restart drilling in June with six drill rigs targeting the Lion Zone, Full Hinge, Elephant target, and deeper nickel-copper sulphide systems. Management said the broader exploration strategy remains focused on identifying additional discoveries across the district-scale property. #proactiveinvestors #powernickelinc #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #mining #invest #investing #PowerMetallicMines #MiningIndustry #PolymetallicExploration #Copper #Nickel #TSXVenture #TerryLynch #ProactiveInvestors #InstitutionalInvestment #Gold #Silver

Getty Copper CEO Ryan O'Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's renewed exploration efforts in the prolific Highland Valley copper district of British Columbia, where Getty Copper has launched its first major drilling campaign in approximately 30 years. O'Regan highlighted the company's nearly 25,000-hectare land package located adjacent to the historic Highland Valley mining camp, emphasizing both the historical resource base and the broader district-scale exploration opportunity. Getty Copper is currently focused on advancing the Getty North project while also evaluating additional opportunities at Getty South and several other high-priority regional targets. The company has initiated a 10,000-metre drilling program aimed at supporting metallurgical studies, improving geological understanding, and guiding future resource development decisions. Management believes the extensive historical database accumulated from previous exploration campaigns provides a strong platform for modern exploration efforts. O'Regan explained that Getty Copper is combining this legacy geological information with updated exploration technologies to identify potentially overlooked opportunities across the district. Discussing the broader market backdrop, O'Regan described copper as a compelling long-term commodity driven by growing demand linked to electrification and critical mineral supply chains. He also stressed the strategic advantage of operating within an established Canadian mining jurisdiction supported by infrastructure, skilled labour, and a long history of mineral development. The discussion also touched on the company's treasury position, evolving drill strategy, and the positive long-term outlook for copper as governments and industry continue investing in critical minerals and energy transition initiatives. #gettycopper #gettycopper #tsxv #gtc #ryanoregan #GettyCopper #Copper #Mining #CriticalMinerals #BritishColumbia #Exploration #Drilling #CopperStocks #ResourceInvesting

Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) CEO Paul Barrett tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company's participation in an airborne geophysical survey over the greater Bisie tin district in the DRC will help define the structural geology across the company's licences — something dense forest cover has made difficult to map on the ground. The survey uses electromagnetic and magnetic technology to identify granite contacts and shear zones that may control mineralisation, with around 25% of the total survey area covering Rome's ground. The immediate priority, though, is the Kalayi resource estimate. As Barrett puts it: "The Kalayi tin resource is the priority at the moment to really put a number on that for investors going forward and for our next plan in terms of the commercialisation of the projects." Drilling later in the year will depend on what both the assays and the survey reveal.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that April's crypto ETP rebound was encouraging but largely price-driven, with genuine inflows still limited as geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty continued to weigh on sentiment. Basket products were the standout, outperforming single-asset ETPs with what Greco describes as "some genuine demand" — though he cautions it's too early to call a lasting shift. On Ethereum's weak year-to-date performance, Greco is relaxed, describing it as "just a short-term capital rotation and not really a generic problem on the Ethereum side." The key catalysts to watch are oil prices, geopolitical stability and central bank rate decisions. Meanwhile, Greco flags a structural shift in product innovation: "There is definitely a shift towards more yield-bearing products" — a trend he expects to define the next phase of crypto ETP development.

Brixton Metals CEO Gary Thompson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the fourth batch of drill results from the company's ongoing exploration campaign at the Langis Silver Project in the historic Cobalt mining camp. The 2026 drill program is focused on both infill and expansion drilling targeting established high-grade silver zones. To date, Brixton has completed 13,845 metres across 68 drill holes during the current campaign. Among the highlights, drill hole LM-26-350 intersected 13.0 metres grading 594 grams per tonne silver within the Shaft 6-Southeast target area. Thompson noted that the S6-SE zone has seen only limited historical mine development and drilling, underscoring the potential for additional high-grade silver discoveries. The company believes the latest results confirm that significant new mineralization remains to be discovered at Langis and further reinforce the project's position as a unique primary silver asset. Brixton plans to add a second drill rig around mid-May as it works toward a minimum 60,000-metre drilling target for 2026 in support of a maiden resource estimate. Thompson also provided an update on the company's Atlin Goldfields Project in northwestern British Columbia, where drilling has now commenced. Under an earn-in option agreement, Eldorado Gold Corporation has the right to earn up to 100% ownership of the project. The current Atlin drill campaign is expected to include approximately six to ten holes totaling between 2,500 and 3,000 metres. Thompson also shared with Proactive at the company's flagship project, Thorn, Brixton continues to advance what is described as a large-scale copper-gold porphyry district covering roughly 2,900 square kilometres in northwest British Columbia. Brixton Metals has now identified multiple copper-gold porphyry systems at the project and continues to make new discoveries, including the recently identified Catalyst target. #proactiveinvestors #brixtonmetalscorp #tsxv #bbb #otcqx #bbbxf #mining #Silver #Gold #Mining #Exploration #OntarioMining #BritishColumbiaMining #Drilling #ResourceInvesting #langisproject #hogheaven #atlin

Enlivex CEO Oren Hershlovitz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's dual strategy of advancing late-stage clinical drug development while building a digital asset treasury initiative tied to decentralized prediction markets. Hershkovitz explained that Enlivex continues progressing development of Allocetra for osteoarthritis while simultaneously gaining exposure to the growing prediction market sector through the RAIN token ecosystem. The company completed a transformative transaction at the end of 2025 that established a treasury strategy centered around the RAIN protocol, which management describes as a decentralized prediction market platform. Enlivex invested more than $200 million in RAIN tokens and also secured an exclusive option to acquire additional tokens at a fixed price. Hershkovitz said the structure provides shareholders with significant upside exposure tied to the future growth of the protocol and broader adoption of decentralized prediction markets. On the clinical side, Enlivex continues advancing Allocetra™ for knee osteoarthritis. The company previously completed a Phase 2a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain reduction and functional outcomes among patients over the age of 64. Enlivex has now received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin a Phase 2b study and has also secured Clinical Trial Application approval in Denmark. Topline results from the Phase 2b trial are expected in the first half of 2027 and could support advancement into Phase 3 development. The company believes its combination of biotechnology development and strategic exposure to emerging digital asset infrastructure creates a differentiated growth profile as both sectors continue to evolve. #proactiveinvestors #enlivixltd #nasdaq #enlv #Biotech #Allocetra #Osteoarthritis #ClinicalTrials #PredictionMarkets #DigitalAssets #RAINToken #HealthcareInnovation

Alvopetro Energy CEO Corey Ruttan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a comprehensive operational update, highlighting solid April production and Q1 results, thanks to the ongoing development progress in Brazil, and improving natural gas pricing under the company's long-term sales agreement. Alvopetro reported April sales volumes of 3,133 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), driven primarily by its Brazilian operations. Production in Brazil averaged 2,953 boepd, including natural gas output of 16.7 million cubic feet per day, as well as 155 barrels per day of natural gas liquids from condensate and a modest 9 barrels per day of oil. Canadian assets contributed an additional 180 barrels per day of oil production during the month. Operationally, the company continues to advance development at its Murucututu Field, where drilling of the 183-D1 well has now commenced. This well follows the success of the 183-D4 well and is targeting the Caruaçu Formation, a key reservoir for future growth. Alvopetro has secured all required environmental permits for the program and has also initiated construction of the 183-G drilling pad, which will support ongoing and future development drilling, particularly targeting updip potential in the Caruaçu trend. In Canada, Alvopetro has also been active, completing the drilling of two additional wells during the quarter. The company now has seven producing wells in the country, delivering average output of approximately 193 barrels of oil per day, further contributing to its diversified production base. On the commercial front, Alvopetro is benefiting from favorable pricing adjustments under its long-term gas sales agreement. Based on current operating metrics and an exchange rate of 5.00 BRL to USD as of April 30, 2026, the company expects a weighted average realized natural gas price of approximately $11.31 per Mcf for the May through July period. Looking further ahead, forecast pricing based on forward Brent crude and Henry Hub benchmarks suggests an increase to approximately $13.06 per Mcf for the August through October 2026 period. Ruttan noted that while realized prices will ultimately depend on currency fluctuations and commodity benchmarks, the current pricing trajectory provides strong support for cash flow generation. Combined with ongoing drilling success and infrastructure expansion in Brazil, Alvopetro remains well positioned to continue executing its growth strategy and enhancing shareholder value. #proactiveinvestors #alvopetroenergyltd #tsxv #alv #otcqx #alvof #OilAndGas #BrazilNaturalGas #EnergyProduction #ReservesUpdate #NaturalGas #BrazilEnergy #OilAndGas #ProductionUpdate #DrillingProgram #EnergyMarkets #Boepd #NaturalGasLiquids #EnergyDevelopment #Infrastructure #CommodityPrices #CashFlow #Upstream #EnergyGrowth
