Oriole Resources PLC CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's announcement of a significant maiden exploration target at its Mbe project in Cameroon. The milestone was achieved in under nine months from the start of the maiden drilling. Rosser explained that the independent consultant Forge estimated a median tonnage of 38 million tonnes at a mean grade of 0.86 grammes per tonne gold. This includes a mid-range level of 1.10 million ounces of contained gold. Rosser stated, "As soon as you get over 1,000,000oz, you are really motoring," underscoring the importance of this figure. The target model is limited to 200 metres below surface and is based on 2024 trenching data and assays from 13 of 24 planned drill holes at Mbe South. He added that grade tonnage sensitivity analysis showed strong retention of contained ounces at higher cut-off grades. The project shares mineralogy similarities with the Bibemi project and is considered suitable for open-pit mining methods. Rosser also noted that drilling at Mbe South continues and the company expects to deliver a maiden pit-constrained Mineral Resource estimate in the fourth quarter of this year. He emphasised the potential across the broader Mbe licence area and the company's surrounding eastern CLP licences in Cameroon. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos like this.

As someone who has interviewed many influential artists over the years, Andrew Roachford stands out as a truly unique voice in British music. Rising to fame in the late 1980s with his band Roachford, he broke onto the charts with the unforgettable hit “Cuddly Toy”, a track that fused soul, rock, and funk in a way that felt completely fresh at the time. His debut album went platinum, and Roachford quickly established himself not just as a powerful vocalist, but also as a talented songwriter and performer.Over the decades, his work has continued to evolve. Whether through emotionally charged solo records like Feel or Twice in a Lifetime, or as co-lead vocalist for Mike + The Mechanics since 2010, Roachford has shown a remarkable ability to adapt while remaining true to his musical roots. His voice — raw, soulful, and unmistakably his own — has become one of the most enduring sounds in British soul-rock.In this interview, I explore Roachford's creative journey, his musical influences, the challenges he's faced, and the lessons learned across a career that spans more than 30 years. With an MBE awarded for his contribution to music in 2019, Roachford's legacy continues to grow — and it was a real pleasure to speak with him.Roachford is currently on tour, supporting his album Then and Now, featuing his greatest hits alongisde some new tracks.More information about the tour and also the album at https://roachford.co.uk/And if you want more from me go to www.popthehistorymakers.com Hosted on Acast.

Which places might be the first movers in a radical educational shift? And by radical in this conversation we're not talking about small tweaks in the types of individual competencies and credentials we optimize for in our current version of schools. But a completely different set of logics, values, meaning and purpose for what education could be, set in a broader context of the transformation of systems and radical democratic renewal. This might all sound pretty grand but I believe, like my guests today, that building for this transition is the work we all have to do! I've been a huge admirer of the work of Dark Matter Labs for a long time and so it was an incredible opportunity for me to be able to sit down with Indy Johar and Adam Purvis to explore these massive and important issues.Indy is an architect and co-founder & Mission Steward of Dark Matter Labs. He is also a founding director of open systems lab, seeded WikiHouse (open source housing) and Open Desk (open source furniture company).

He is on the advisory board for the Future Observatory and is part of the committee for the London Festival of Architecture. He is also a fellow of the London Interdisciplinary School.Indy was 2016-17 Graham Willis Visiting Professorship at Sheffield University. He was Studio Master at the Architectural Association - 2019-2020, UNDP Innovation Facility Advisory Board Member 2016-20 and RIBA Trustee 2017-20.He has taught & lectured at various institutions from the University of Bath, TU-Berlin; University College London, Princeton, Harvard, MIT and New School.He was awarded the London Design Medal for Innovation in 2022 and an MBE in 2023.Adam Purvis has spent over a decade building mission led movements and networks.

In this special episode of Life of a CISO, I sit down with the brilliant Jane Frankland, MBE—an internationally recognized thought leader in cybersecurity with over 28 years of experience. Jane shares her unexpected journey into the field, starting not from a tech background but from art and design. Her curiosity and drive led her to co-found one of the earliest penetration testing consultancies, long before the term "cybersecurity" became mainstream. Together, we dive into how the industry has evolved, why penetration testing has become commoditized, and why it's no longer enough to offer just technical solutions—true value now comes from insight, strategy, and resilience.   Jane also offers powerful reflections on the burnout many CISOs face today and why so many are leaving traditional roles to launch their own consultancies or step into virtual CISO models. We discuss what it really means to build a business in today's climate, the importance of defining your unique value, and why small businesses are an underrated opportunity in the cyber space. From vendor strategy to shifting away from limiting beliefs, Jane brings a fresh, honest, and empowering perspective that challenges the status quo. Whether you're building your career or launching your own venture, this episode is full of clarity and inspiration for the next step in your cyber journey.

Episode 99. Bonus  For this Bonus episode, I've invited two British women, Lindsay Simmonds and Julie Siddiqi, both PhDs, to talk about their interfaith friendship and the public facing work they've done since Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 Oct. 2023. Lindsay is an Orthodox Jew and Julie is Muslim. The fact of their religious identities and deep practice is noteworthy and relevant, as the attack and subsequent war, have proven polarizing, straining the already challenging work of bridging religious differences between Jews and Muslims. Lindsay and Julie offer an inspiring example of possibility, showing us the path to connection, communication, and healing, while not shying away from the challenges. Given the long standing and apparent intransigence of the conflict, this seemed a good time for some hope.Highlights: Intersection of deep faith practice and interfaith work.Organizing inclusive events amidst tension.Impact and significance of their work.The role of space, gender, and representation.Trivializing women's impactful initiatives.Sustaining hope and setting intentions for the future. Bios:  Dr. Lindsay Simmonds is a Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS) where she has lectured for 20+ years. She recently worked as a Researcher at the London School of Economics (LSE), UK, working on Women of Faith and Peacebuilding.Lindsay is very active in local interfaith work. She has five adult children and five grandchildren, and she promotes women's participation in her local orthodox Jewish community in London. Dr. Julie Siddiqi MBE is a mentor, consultant and gender equality campaigner with a focus on interfaith relations, applying that to social work. She has 25+ years of experience in community work predominantly in the Muslim community as well as in interfaith work. Julie is a qualified Life Coach.

Professor Carl Jones is a conservation biologist who is best known for saving the Mauritius kestrel from extinction. He is the scientific director of Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, chief scientist at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and an honorary professor in ecology and conservation biology at the University of East Anglia.He was born in Carmarthen in Wales and was fascinated with animals from an early age, rearing rescued common kestrels, owls and hawks in his back garden. He studied biology at North-East London Polytechnic and, after learning about the plight of the Mauritius kestrel, he was determined to go out to the country to try to save the bird.He arrived in Mauritius in 1979 when there were only two known breeding pairs left in the wild. By the time he left in 1999 he'd established a captive breeding programme and today hundreds of Mauritius kestrels fly over the islands where he spent decades pioneering his, sometimes controversial, methods. Today the Mauritius kestrel is the national bird. He is also responsible for saving from extinction three species of reptiles, a fruit bat and several plants.He was appointed an MBE for his work in 2004 and in 2016 he won the prestigious Indianapolis Prize – the world's leading award for animal conservation.Carl lives in Carmarthen with his wife and two children and assorted animals including two Andean condors called Carlos and Baby.
