George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU – OTCQX:ASCUF), joins us to outline the key metrics from the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Cactus Project in Arizona and the envisioned mine plan. We also get an exploration update, more clarity around the permitting process, discuss the recent capital raise, and review the pathway to production. PFS Highlights include: Simple open pit / SXEW operation producing approximately 103,000 tonnes (226 million lbs) of estimated average annual copper cathodes over the first 10 years of mining, which would make Cactus the third largest cathode producer in the USA Industry-leading capital intensity of $10,894 per tonne of copper cathodes produced $574 million of average annual EBITDA1 Strong economics to support the continued development of Cactus with a focus on simplicity and executability of the open pit copper cathode project, on private land in Arizona Cactus Project is well positioned over the 22-year Project Life of Mine (“LoM”) to generate value at a variety of copper prices: Conventional, Cost-effective Mining and Processing: Open-pit, Heap Leach and SXEW Operation with Oxide and Enriched Materials from Cactus and Parks/Salyer open pits over 22 years of processing Cash costs (C1) of $1.34/lb, All in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) of $1.62/lb and All in Costs (“AIC”)1 of $2.01/lb Initial mineral reserves of 513 million tons at a grade of 0.52% Total Copper in the Proven and Probable category for 5.3 billion pounds of contained copper 65% conversion of leachable M&I mineral resources to mineral reserves, with increased grades reporting to the heap leach pads Significant benefits to the local community and economy of Arizona, including projected creation of an estimated 600+ direct jobs Future mine expansion opportunities outside of the current mineable copper reserves, including late mine life primary sulphides, Cactus East and other exploration targets Final investment decision as early as Q4 2026 with targeted first cathodes in 2029 George reviews how the incorporation of the newer MainSpring area into the larger Parks-Salyer deposit, over the last 2 years has allowed for a shift in strategy from underground mining over to an open-pit mining method. They are reviewing moving the center of the open pit more towards the high-grade portion of the Park-Salyer deposit, the infill drilling showed it expanding towards that direction, which presented better economics and a faster payback period, as outlined in the PFS. George also provides some updates on permitting for the project, and the importance of it being on private land to help expedite the process, and that they should be submitting their applications later this year for administrative acceptance by early 2026, and then approval 6 months later. This permitting process will time out well with the release of their Bankable Feasibility Study. Next we discussed the news on December 2nd, which announced that the Company closed its previously announced private placement of common shares of the Company pursuant to which the Company issued, on a “bought deal” basis, 25,746,300 Common Shares, including 3,358,200 Common Shares granted to the underwriters, at a price of $3.35 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$86,250,105. This gives the company the runway to execute on all coming workstreams heading into the Bankable Feasibility Study and the capital stack coming together for a construction decision late next year.

Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR – OTCQX:SLVTF), joins us to review the major news released November 7th which announced that the Company has secured all of the required approvals and permits from the Mexican Federal Environmental Department (“SEMARNAT”) to construct the El Tigre Stockwork Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. We also discuss the upcoming underground PEA, set for January of next year, along with the coming regional drill programs to the north and south of El Tigre in 2026. With all approvals for the Project now granted, Silver Tiger is now ready to advance the Project towards construction over an 18-month plan, as outlined in the October 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Project. We dive into the robust economics on just this initial bulk tonnage phase of the project, through the lens of current metals price sensitivities. Glenn shares with us the many earlier stage initiatives their operations team, led by VP of Operations, Francisco Albelais, like building the 365 day per year haulage road, and the 6 months of engineering work that gives them a large head start on hitting the ground running now that the permit is in hand. With regards to the debt term sheets and how the company will fund the mine build, Glenn shares the flexibility and optionality that their team now has, after having recently raised CAD$40 Million bought deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets and Stifel Nicolaus Canada. When combined with the ~CAD$30 million the company already had in their treasury, they essentially have a large percentage of the US$85 million capex needed to build the bulk tonnage surface mine at El Tigre. This means that they can negotiate less restrictive debt covenants, giving them the flexibility to keep pursuing work on the underground strategy, as well as regional exploration to the north and south of El Tigre. We wrap up recapping all the exploration, development, and derisking work that is going into the upcoming imminent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the underground mine, now set to release to the market in January. The team at Silver Tiger has been compiling the last 5 years of work delineating the 113 million ounces of silver equivalent resources in the high-grade veins, shale, and sulphide zones underground portion of El Tigre, the metallurgical studies, and engineering work to be able to release the upcoming PEA early in Q1. This report will center around the already permitted underground scenario utilizing an 800 tonnes-per-day (tpd) mill, and focusing on the initial first 10 years of mine life. Wrapping up we have Glenn outline that in 2026 all of the earlier-stage regional exploration work their team has been engaged with in H2 of this year, both to the north and south of El Tigre, will allow for the commencement of the first drilling on these high-priority targets since 2017. This will demonstrate to the market that their land concessions are truly part of a district-scale opportunity, far beyond just the delineated mineralization and mine plans at El Tigre. If you have any follow up questions for Glenn regarding Silver Tiger Metals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

Brad Rourke, CEO and Director of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins me to share his key takeaways after just marketing at 3 European conferences, the 2025 AME award just announced for Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources, and a review of recent Company news. We get into recent exploration results, an update on the bulk sample progress, details of the recent capital raise, and a review of all the feasibility-level workstreams underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. After attending the New Orleans Investment Conference earlier this month, Brad marketed at conferences in Zurich, Frankfurt, and London, and came away quite encouraged. Overall, there appears to be a shift taking place at a number of these conferences with regards to the quality and sincerity of engagement from retail and institutional attendees. Scottie Resource was notified last week that company President, Thomas Mumford, will be the recipient of one of the AME Awards, to be presented on January 28, 2026 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Thomas Mumford is the recipient of the 2025 AME H.H. "Spud" Huestis Award for excellence in prospecting and mineral exploration in B.C. and/or Yukon for his leadership in the discovery of Scottie Resources' Blueberry Contact Zone in Northwest B.C. Brad highlights how proud their team is of Thomas, and believe this illustrates the quality and sector significance of the growing deposit at the Blueberry Contact Zone. Next we discussed some recent drill results, including 8.28 g/t Gold over 22.35 m at P-Zone at Scottie Gold Mine Project. This is a newer area of mineralized discovery, but Brad outlines that the majority of the 27,000 meters drilled in the 2025 exploration program were infill holes with the purpose of tightening the spacing between prior holes drilled, and upgrading categories from inferred to measured and indicated. This is important as the company moves towards a Feasibility Study, and Brad highlights other permitting and engineering workstreams building towards that next economic report. We then touched on the completed10,000-tonne surface bulk sample program where that mineralized material was sourced from the outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. The crushing and transportation of this material has been completed moving many truckloads of material down the Granduc road to the Stewart bulk shipping facility without any concerns or challenges. The ship has been ordered to take this material to China in early December over to their offtake party, Ocean Partners. This bulk sample will be quite a valuable proof-of-concept on the Project, informing the company and investors on average grade, recovery amounts, as well as bringing in non-dilutive capital. Wrapping up we discussed the news releases November 17th, which announced a non-brokered financing of up to 10,981,308 charitable flow-through shares of the Company at a price of $2.14 per Charity FT Share for gross proceeds of up to $23.5 Million. When this is combined with the roughly $10million in funds on the company treasury, and the upcoming payment on the bulk sample material, the company is more than cashed up for the upcoming work initiatives for next year. * If you have any questions for Brad regarding Scottie Resources, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's successful £1.8 million capital raise and how the funds will support key gold exploration activities in Cameroon. Rosser confirmed a £1.8 million placing and a further £200,000 retail offer, both priced at the previous day's closing bid with warrants attached. "We're delighted that we've announced a £1.8 million placing today and a further retail offer... not being done at a discount," he said. Institutional participation, particularly from RAB Capital, which now holds a 2.1% stake, was described as a strong endorsement. Rosser highlighted that institutional backing is “vital if we are to grow the value of Oriole for the benefit of all shareholders.” The proceeds will fund the MB01-N drilling campaign, aimed at converting an existing exploration target of 372,000 to 605,000 ounces of gold into JORC-compliant resources. Further work is planned at MB01-S and across nearby licences - Pokor, Ndom and Tenekou - all within the same regional trend. Funds will also support surface sampling and advanced studies at the Bibemi project to back its exploitation license application. Rosser described the upcoming program as a "busy and productive time" with significant news flow expected. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more company interviews and updates.

First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, OTCQX:FRSPF) CEO John Passalacqua talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a strategic capital raise aimed at accelerating exploration and development at the company's phosphate resource. Passalacqua confirmed that an existing investor is stepping in to "top up" their position, with potential participation from other shareholders. The additional capital will help fund a 30,000-meter drill program designed to support a block model and ultimately a feasibility study, which is expected by mid-2026. “Basically, these funds will help us… finish off the drilling so that we can build a block model for the resource,” Passalacqua explained. He also highlighted the company's broader ambition to support a fully integrated North American LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery supply chain using domestic critical minerals. Notably, First Phosphate has already produced batteries using phosphate from its property, marking a key validation step. The company aims to start production by 2029. Passalacqua emphasized the strategic importance of domestic supply, particularly in light of China's recent threats to cut off supplies of rare earths and tech components. He added that First Phosphate holds a “really pure igneous phosphate resource” which enhances its competitive position. The company is currently well-capitalized with between $18 to $19 million in the bank and expects this latest raise to extend its runway through 2026.

Amprologix chief scientific officer Mathew Upton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how the company aims to use £740,000 in fresh funding to push forward work on a treatment for drug-resistant infections, including MRSA. Amprologix, a Frontier IP Group, PLC (LSE:FIPP) portfolio company, is developing Epidermicin NI01, a novel antibiotic aimed at treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Upton explained that the recent funding will be used to complete preclinical studies for Epidermicin NI01, ensuring the compound's safety ahead of human clinical trials. “This money is going to be used to advance our lead technology,” said Upton. “We need to run some final assays to prove that the lead molecule Epidermicin is not toxic before we go into human trials.” The urgency to develop new classes of antibiotics remains high, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) repeatedly identifying a shortage of effective antimicrobials in the pipeline. Epidermicin represents a first-in-class solution that works differently from existing treatments, including those to which many bacteria have developed resistance. Upton also highlighted the company's broader strategy, including the use of an AI-driven accelerated evolution engine to expand its pipeline. The goal is to generate additional novel drug candidates targeting WHO-prioritised pathogens such as Clostridioides difficile. Looking ahead, Amprologix is initiating Series A funding to support first-in-human trials and portfolio expansion. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews and updates like this one.

They haven't said it explicitly yet, but one day soon, our KiwiSaver contributions will rise to 12% and Kiwibank will be partially sold to foreign buyers. On the bank, Nicola Willis is flying a kite and talking about a potentially partial float of the stock exchange for the wee Kiwi battler. It needs capital to grow and take on the big banks. They're getting access to an extra half a billion through changes already announced. But they could yet get more, should National campaign on a partial float. It's sounding more and more like they will. And the question is whether most voters will care? I think not. Asset sales are not the great electoral disaster they were once portrayed as - just ask John Key who whipped Phil Goff's butt in 2011 on a platform of partially privatising assets. On KiwiSaver... the Government's already upped the amount we pay, and our bosses pay on our behalf, towards retirement. Our default contribution is going up to 4% over three years. Add your employer's and that's 8%. Scott Simpson was at a conference yesterday and there's an interest.co.nz report quoting him as saying basically it'll happen before long. At a gradual pace. But here's the thing... like the partial float of Kiwibank, this is all stuff that needs to happen. The Aussies' pensions funds boast $4 trillion in balances. That money is put to work. It funds infrastructure. It builds wealth. It grows a domestic economy. Our KiwiSaver balances, collectively, sit just above $100 billion. It's David and Goliath. So we need to save more. And if we're serious about a Kiwi bank taking on the Aussies and sticking it to them good and proper, we'll need some outside capital to give it that boost.

Savannah Resources PLC (AIM:SAV, ETR:SAV, OTC:SAVNF) CEO Emanuel Proença talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress at its Barroso Lithium Project in northern Portugal. Savannah Resources is a junior miner fully permitted to develop a lithium spodumene resource that Proença described as “the only sizable and competitive resource in Europe.” During the interview, Proença detailed how the recent £4.8 million fundraise, which included an accelerated bookbuild and retail offer, brought more Portuguese shareholders on board. “More than 40% of the subscription was subscribed by Portuguese shareholders,” he noted. Proença explained that Savannah had already secured most of the funding for its Definitive Feasibility Study through a strategic partnership with AMG Critical Materials. The new funds will prepare Savannah for subsequent steps, including front-end engineering and project financing. He also emphasised that the project is on track to start production between late 2027 and early 2028, positioning Savannah to support Europe's push to localise the battery value chain. Proença highlighted that in Europe, only Savannah and Keliber in Finland are advancing spodumene projects to this stage. The CEO underscored that Savannah's work engaging transparently with local communities has helped build support and momentum. “It is very good to see that what we are doing in terms of getting closer to the local population is paying off,” he said.

Rick Mazur, President and CEO of Forum Energy Metals (TSX.V:FMC – OTCQB:FDCFF), joins me to review the news out to the market today which clarified and expanded upon recent Company news. We discuss the capital raise announced on December 16th, 2024, and the news which summarized the 2024 drill program, which has had 11 holes assays released thus far, and with 19 more drill holes from multiple targets that are still pending assays, on the Aberdeen Uranium Project in the Thelon Basin, Nunavut. The Company is raising $1,250,000 which consists of a combination of shares and flow-through units. Common shares are being purchased by its strategic investor and insiders for general working capital purposes and for the procurement of longer lead, supplies and services for next year's drill program. The flow-through units are being purchased by its long-term investor and supporter the Pavillion Resource Fund. With regards to previous news assays from its 2024 summer exploration program at its Aberdeen Project, which consisted of thirty diamond drill holes covering a total of 6,962 meters; to date, Forum has received 608 geochemical results from the 11 holes at the Tatiggaq Main and West zones. The Tatiggaq Project is located 5 kilometers from Orano's Kiggavik deposit, and 7 of these 11 holes contained mineralization with grades on par with the style of basement-hosted uranium deposits in the Thelon Basin. There are 8 more holes to still release next at the Tatiggaq area, stepping out from the known mineralization. In addition to those 8 holes still to release from Tatiggaq, there are 11 additional drill holes to report on that tested other highly prospective regional areas, like the Qavvik, Ned, Ayra, and Loki targets. Rick outlines that Qavvik, like Tatiggaq already has a discovery on it, with many historic holes drilled by Cameco, so the holes put in there are expanding on the mineralization. In contrast, the targets like Ned, Ayra, and Loki are new grassroots targets, with multiple data sets defining them as prospective to go after higher-grade unconformity-style mineralization. We wrap up discussing the partner-funded winter drill campaign on the Northwest Athabasca Joint Venture in the Athabasca Basin, where Forum Energy Metals will be the operator and this will provide even more exploration newsflow during the winter months and into the spring. Then after that the 2025 summer drill program will commence back at the Aberdeen Project, so there will be a steady amount of newsflow next year.

Shareholders of the dairy processor are gathering at its Dunsandel site today to vote on a proposed $218 million capital raise.

In this episode, we speak with guest Peter Daneyko Co-Founder of KoreChain, about raising capital for startups. This topic is challenging for cybersecurity companies often due to the technical nature and difficulty in relaying the value of new technology. The investment community has very established lingo, norms, and expectations, which are often foreign to newcomers. Great ideas for technology may not correlate directly to the patterns anticipated by the finance industry, so we take some time today to provide cybersecurity practitioners with some invaluable financial incite. Guest Mr. Daneyko has supported over 200 companies raise money to support growth. Daneyko expresses that the way to transition from an early startup to a scalable company is to educate early to understand what to expect when reaching a growth stage. We talk about some questions such as “How to determine the amount of money you want to raise? What are the different options for debt or equity? What are the differences between Reg-CF, Reg-A, B & C? What regulations apply to my company?. How do I get noticed or reach the investment community?”. This is a great conversation for a startup company that does not have that much exposure but has great technology. This show is a good starting point for "Capital Raise 101" or just to understand some of the finance industry lingo. Thanks to Mr. Daneyko for this invaluable incite and you will not want to miss this episode of New Cyber Frontier. Visit our sponsors: BlockFrame Inc.

Have you ever heard the saying: “deals get done on the golf course?” Well, no one is bringing their Excel models or doing business strategy in between strokes. The significance of this phrase is that deals get done because of the emotional connections sponsors build with their investors. However, it's not as simple as a few conversations, dinners, or golf outings… Today, I discuss how to build the connections that will make every raise you do a success! The most common mistake by new capital raisers stems from an insecurity that we've all had… Before you develop a track record, you want to be seen as an expert, so you might spend your time with a potential investor talking about the details of your deal and all its merits. However, this is a huge mistake… Frankly, every deal more-or-less promises similar financial outcomes. However, this is not why people invest… People invest because they believe YOU are the correct person to protect and grow their wealth. If you can learn how to make yourself and your brand the motivator for new investors, your business will be able to raise capital in any market conditions!
