    Surface Metals advances Nevada Gold and Lithium projects toward key milestones

    Surface Metals CEO Steve Hanson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's Nevada-focused portfolio and plans to advance both its Cimarron Gold Project and Clayton Valley lithium project. Hanson said Surface Metals is focused on developing North American resource assets, with a portfolio that includes the Cimarron Gold Project and two lithium properties, including a lithium resource near Silver Peak, Nevada. At the Cimarron Gold Project, located about 25 miles south of Kinross Gold's Round Mountain mine, the company is preparing to test newly identified drill targets within a historic mining district. Hanson said previous exploration by Newmont and Echo Bay—later acquired by Kinross—returned shallow, high-grade gold intercepts that attracted the company's interest. “What really attracted me to this project is Newmont and Echo Bay... had some really interesting drill intercepts, relatively shallow holes, but very, very high-grade gold,” Hanson said. Surface Metals has reinterpreted historical exploration data, built a new 3D geological model, and identified multiple drill targets. The company plans to submit its Notice of Intent shortly, with permitting expected to take 90 to 120 days, targeting the start of drilling in fall 2026. Hanson also highlighted the Clayton Valley lithium project, where Surface Metals has advanced the asset from grassroots exploration to a defined resource of more than 300,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). The company plans to continue direct lithium extraction (DLE) testing while advancing toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) over the next 12 to 24 months. Additional drilling may also be undertaken to upgrade portions of the resource into higher confidence categories. Management believes the combination of near-term gold exploration and longer-term lithium development positions Surface Metals to benefit from growing demand for both precious and critical minerals. #proactiveinvestors #surfacemetals #cse #sur #otcqb #surmf #GoldExploration #Lithium #NevadaMining #CriticalMinerals #GoldMining #ClaytonValley #Exploration #MiningNews #EnergyTransition

    IBT portfolio manager: biotech M&A boom set to continue as big pharma hunts

    International Biotechnology Trust (LSE:IBT) portfolio manager Ailsa Craig joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the surge in biotech M&A activity, following Vertex Pharmaceuticals' acquisition of Crinetics at a 102% premium. Craig said the deal wave reflects a structural dynamic: most new drugs now originate from biotech, while large pharmaceutical companies face a significant wave of patent expiries and hold substantial cash resources. Vertex's move into rare diseases and chronic therapies makes strategic sense as it diversifies beyond its cystic fibrosis franchise — and the premium paid reflected Crinetics' strong independent position. "They would be perfectly happy to stay independent. And Vertex had to pay up if they wanted to buy them," Craig said. She outlined how IBT evaluates investments using many of the same criteria as pharma business development teams — focusing on chronic therapies, attractive valuations, strong intellectual property and companies capable of remaining independent, making them compelling acquisition targets. Around 40% of IBT's portfolio currently meets these criteria, compared with around 10% of its benchmark - a positioning Craig believes leaves the trust well placed to benefit from continued industry consolidation.

    Trinity One Metals eyes silver tailings resource at high-grade Ecuador mine

    Trinity One Metals Ltd. (TSX-V:TOM) CEO Tom Wood joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's flagship Silver-1 project in Ecuador, a historic underground mine that previously produced around one million ounces of silver annually at grades of approximately 927 grams per tonne. Community engagement has been a priority alongside technical work, with the company opening a local office to strengthen relationships with nearby residents. Initial mapping and sampling have delivered encouraging results, particularly from historic tailings and wastewater areas, with the company now planning to drill the tailings to define a compliant resource. Wood highlighted the potential significance: "Being able to produce from those tailings, really just reprocess them, it's not even production. That should be some fantastic non-dilutive funding for shareholders." Geophysical surveys, including IP and drone magnetics, are being prioritised ahead of broader drilling to identify higher-value targets and maximise exploration spending. Beyond Ecuador, assay results from an initial drilling campaign at the Victory project in Mongolia are awaited. Key milestones ahead include geophysical survey completion, tailings drilling, a potential maiden tailings resource and further drilling at Silver-1.

    American Mineral Resources CEO Ryan Cunningham on Mining's AI Capital Shift

    American Mineral Resources CEO Ryan Cunningham talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's growing portfolio of precious metals and critical minerals projects, the changing funding environment for junior mining companies and why capital is increasingly flowing towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. Cunningham explained that American Mineral Resources has built a portfolio of 12 projects across seven jurisdictions at various stages of exploration and development. The company's strategy has focused on acquiring and optioning high-grade precious metals and critical metals deposits in jurisdictions it believes offer strong long-term potential. The discussion also examined how the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is influencing capital markets. Cunningham shared his view that significant amounts of investment have been diverted away from traditional resource industries, including mining, oil and gas, as investors pursue opportunities linked to artificial intelligence. As he noted, "Everyone has kind of felt this gravitational pull of capital away from just about everywhere heading into AI." Drawing on his experience in resource development, Cunningham discussed the importance of disciplined financing, careful project execution and managing risks such as permitting delays, commodity price volatility and changing market conditions. He also suggested that periods of strong market enthusiasm can make fundraising easier initially, but maintaining long-term financing remains one of the biggest challenges for junior resource companies. Looking specifically at American Mineral Resources, Cunningham highlighted the company's recently announced plan to spin out its Pisco North polymetallic project in Quebec into a publicly traded Canadian shell. He explained that Canadian flow-through share financing has created attractive funding opportunities for junior mining companies and said the company believes this structure may provide more efficient access to exploration capital than US markets. Watch the full interview to hear Ryan Cunningham's views on mining finance, AI-driven investment trends, capital discipline and American Mineral Resources' strategy for advancing its project portfolio.

    Dalaroo Metals uncovers hard rock source at Greenland rare earth project

    Dalaroo Metals (ASX:DAL) CEO John Morgan joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss encouraging progress at the Blue Lagoon rare earth project in southern Greenland, where the 2025 field season is around three-quarters complete. The company has significantly scaled up activity, expanding its sampling programme from just over 100 samples last year to nearly 300 this season, alongside geological mapping and geophysical surveys. The standout development has been the identification of pegmatites believed to be the hard rock source of the rare earth mineralisation — a discovery that could fundamentally reshape the geological understanding of the project. "Last year we sort of had a sediment hosted deposit," Morgan said. "Now we really do believe that we've got a hard rock host and a much larger sediment system." Upcoming milestones include completion of the geological mapping model, assay results from samples sent to Australia, and metallurgical testing — all expected over the coming months and expected to guide the next phase of exploration, including potential drilling.

    Fineqia International's Matteo Greco on crypto ETP outlook: what will drive recovery?

    Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the latest trends in the crypto ETP market and what could reignite investor demand in the second half of 2026. Greco said the fall in crypto ETP AUM has been driven primarily by weaker prices rather than widespread investor withdrawals, with Bitcoin ETP assets largely tracking BTC's price decline — suggesting most investors have held their positions despite a difficult market. Ethereum ETPs have fared worse, with persistent outflows as investors reduced risk and concentrated exposure on Bitcoin during the downturn. Regional differences also emerged, with stronger outflows in the US while Europe and Canada recorded more positive flows. On altcoin and basket ETPs, Greco noted brief outperformance during Q2, though the broader negative trend has continued to weigh on overall AUM through 2026. Looking ahead, Greco said recovery hinges on prices. "The only thing that can drive demand higher again is to see a bit of price recovery," he said, adding that limited outflows during the downturn show many investors remain committed to long-term exposure and could return quickly once sentiment improves. Watch the full interview for Greco's analysis of Bitcoin, Ethereum, crypto ETP flows, investor behaviour and the outlook for digital asset investment products.

    Kingfisher Mining targets maiden resource at Broken Hill

    Kingfisher Mining managing director Chris Bittar talked with Proactive about the company’s transition toward a focused New South Wales exploration strategy, centred on the Broken Hill Project and its Copper Blow, Allendale and Stephens Trig prospects. Bittar said the past six to nine months had been “a pretty transformative period for the company”, following the acquisition of 11 licences in New South Wales, including nine in the Broken Hill region. He explained that Kingfisher Mining had recently divested its rare earth projects in Western Australia to Dreadnought Resources, allowing the company to focus its resources and attention on the Broken Hill Project amid strong interest in gold, copper, silver and base metals. The interview covered recent work at Copper Blow, where Kingfisher Mining has completed infill and extensional drilling to validate historical results and better understand the size of the system. Bittar also discussed Allendale and Stephens Trig, two lead-zinc-silver targets north of Broken Hill, and the company’s agreement with Broken Hill Mines. He said the agreement provides access to Broken Hill Mines’ Rasp processing plant in New South Wales, creating what he described as “a quick, cheap pathway to production” by reducing the need for new infrastructure. Looking ahead, Kingfisher Mining is awaiting assay results and planning further drilling at Copper Blow, with work building toward a maiden mineral resource by the end of the year.

    Alkane Resources CEO On FY2026 Gold Performance

    Alkane Resources Ltd managing director and CEO Nic Earner talked with Proactive about the company’s FY2026 production performance after it ended the year in the top half of guidance. Alkane produced 42,491 gold-equivalent ounces in the June quarter and 168,337 gold-equivalent ounces for the full year, placing the company in the upper half of its 160,000 to 175,000-ounce production guidance range. Earner said the result reflected strong performance across the company’s three operating mines: Tomingley in New South Wales, Costerfield in Victoria and Björkdal in Sweden. Looking ahead, he said Alkane expected to provide further guidance in its upcoming quarterly report targeted for July 21. The discussion also covered exploration at the True Blue deposit, around two kilometres from Costerfield, where Alkane has reported encouraging results along a parallel strike structure. Earner said further exploration updates and reserve and resource updates were expected over the coming months.

    Trillion Energy M47 block update | Scott Lower interview

    Trillion Energy International Inc. (CSE:TCF, OTCQB:TRLEF, FRA:Z620) president Scott Lower talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's M47 Block in Türkiye, explaining why management believes the project is positioned within one of the world's most exciting new onshore oil discovery regions. Lower discussed the recent restructuring of the earn-in agreement, upcoming exploration milestones and the company's plans as it works toward first production. Lower highlighted the rapid growth of the surrounding area, noting that production within 12 kilometres of the M47 Block has increased from zero to more than 80,000 barrels per day in approximately five years across seven new oil fields. He said the region continues to attract significant drilling activity, creating what he described as an attractive setting for the company's project. The discussion also covered the revised earn-in agreement, which provides additional flexibility while allowing Trillion Energy more time to complete its seismic programme and organise funding ahead of drilling. Lower explained that the company is focused on completing its current capital raising and seismic work before moving toward its targeted first production. Speaking about the opportunity, Lower said, "We're tremendously confident in the project. We think this is a tremendous opportunity for investors." He also pointed to the relatively limited drilling completed on the M47 Block compared with neighbouring producing fields, where hundreds of wells have already been drilled. Looking ahead, investors should watch for the results of the ongoing seismic programme, updates on the company's capitalization efforts, and progress toward drilling.

    Canadian Copper highlights New Brunswick growth, CSE25 inclusion and financing success

    Canadian Copper CEO Simon Quick joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s brownfields base metals development strategy in New Brunswick, its recent inclusion in the CSE25 Index, and the progress made since listing in 2022. Quick said Canadian Copper is advancing its Murray Brook project alongside the fully permitted Caribou processing plant, creating a capital-efficient development plan by integrating the two assets. The company is targeting construction in 2027 and production in 2028. He highlighted New Brunswick’s long mining history, established infrastructure, and skilled workforce as key advantages that support a streamlined development timeline and reduce project risk. Quick also pointed to the company’s financing progress following the release of its 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Canadian Copper has secured $96 million in project financing commitments from Ocean Partners and OR Royalties, exceeding the project's current estimated capital requirements and providing additional flexibility for development and future growth. “We've already secured project financing with two bona fide counterparties... $96 million in total capital,” Quick said. The interview also explored the company’s regional consolidation strategy, with the Caribou processing plant and its fully permitted tailings facility offering the potential to process ore from additional deposits throughout New Brunswick, creating long-term growth opportunities. Reflecting on the company’s progress since its 2022 public listing, Quick said Canadian Copper has focused on disciplined financing, creating shareholder value, and executing a clear development strategy. Management is now advancing permitting activities while preparing for construction and the next phase of project development. #proactiveinvestors #canadiancopper #cse #cci #cse25 #BaseMetals #Mining #NewBrunswick #Copper #CriticalMinerals #CSE25 #MineDevelopment #ResourceGrowth #MiningNews

    PowerPlay Media targets global growth in women's sports ahead of IPO

    PowerPlay Media Executive Chairman Othman Shoukat joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's business model, international growth strategy, and the expanding opportunity in women's sports ahead of its planned IPO. Shoukat explained that PowerPlay Media operates a capital-light sports media and live events business, focused on women's sports and combat sports. Rather than producing sporting events, the company acquires and distributes media rights, enabling it to scale internationally with lower capital requirements. The company already has distribution agreements across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, including partnerships to distribute the All Women's Sports Network, a channel co-founded by Whoopi Goldberg and backed by investors including Shaquille O'Neal. Shoukat also highlighted relationships with broadcasters such as SuperSport and NBC in the Middle East, with plans to expand into additional global markets. Beyond media distribution, PowerPlay plans to develop women's sporting events and festivals to deepen audience engagement while creating additional sponsorship and advertising opportunities. Shoukat said women's sports have reached a major inflection point, driven by rapidly growing global audiences and increasing commercial investment. He cited research showing 46 billion minutes of women's sports content were viewed in the United States during 2025 and noted forecasts that women's football could become the world's fifth-largest sport by 2030, attracting an estimated 800 million fans. The company currently has a presence in approximately 60 countries and is continuing discussions across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to expand its distribution network and support long-term growth ahead of its planned public listing. #proactiveinvestors #powerplaymedia #WomensSports #SportsMedia #IPO #SportsBusiness #Broadcasting #LiveEvents #MediaRights #SportsInnovation #GlobalGrowth

    Lightning Minerals' Mt Turner Gold Project: new drill targets ahead

    Lightning Minerals managing director Troy Brice talked with Proactive about the company’s completed Western Zone soil geochemistry program at the wholly owned Mt Turner Gold Project in northern Queensland, as it works toward refining the next round of gold drill targets. Brice said the program was a significant step forward for the company’s exploration strategy, with the field team collecting 551 geochemical soil samples and 12 rock samples across the Western Zone. The work focused on a five-kilometre structural corridor that Lightning Minerals Ltd has identified as a potential extension of the gold mineralised system it has been exploring at Mt Turner. Brice said the program had been completed “ahead of schedule, under budget and beautifully safely,” adding that the company was pleased with both the execution and the early field observations. The Western Zone program follows the recent Drummer Fault soil campaign and adds to the company’s broader geological and structural model across Mt Turner. Brice said the work reinforced the company’s understanding of the wider gold system and would help define phase three drilling targets toward the end of the exploration season. He also discussed upcoming work, including expected assay results by mid-August and plans for further activity at the Warby tungsten target as Lightning Minerals Ltd continues to progress its broader exploration portfolio before the wet season.

    Gunnison Copper eliminates convertible debt, strengthens balance sheet for growth

    Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Craig Hallworth and Melissa Mackie, Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest financing milestone, which eliminates its remaining convertible debt and significantly strengthens its capital structure. Hallworth explained that Gunnison has now reduced its secured debt to zero and has settled its remaining convertible debt, which had been scheduled to mature in September. Following negotiations with Greenstone, the company completed a cash settlement that Hallworth said was highly favorable for shareholders. The transaction was completed at a value 54% below the company's most recent equity financing, allowing Gunnison to avoid issuing approximately 29 million new shares. Hallworth said the move preserves nearly US$5 million in shareholder value by eliminating the potential dilution. "We're really thrilled with the outcome. We think people are going to be extremely happy that there is not 29 million more shares coming on the market," Hallworth said. Mackie added that the improved balance sheet leaves the company well positioned to continue advancing its flagship Gunnison Copper Project. A recently launched district-wide drilling campaign includes up to 120 drill holes focused on metallurgical optimization, resource conversion, resource expansion, and data collection for the next technical report. Two drill rigs are currently operating on site, with the company expecting to increase that number to six rigs by September as the exploration program accelerates. Hallworth said the company's goal is to rapidly advance development through aggressive drilling, supporting updated technical studies while targeting the addition of more than one billion pounds of copper to the project's resource base. Management believes the strengthened balance sheet, elimination of potential dilution, and expanded drilling campaign position Gunnison Copper for its next stage of growth. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #Copper #MiningNews #CopperMining #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #CriticalMinerals #ShareholderValue #MineDevelopment #EnergyTransition

    Arizona Gold & Silver expands Philadelphia exploration with BLM drilling permit

    Arizona Gold and Silver SVP of Exploration Dr. Lex Lambeck joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s newly approved Bureau of Land Management (BLM) permit, which paves the way for the next phase of drilling at the Philadelphia gold-silver project in Arizona. Lambeck explained that the permit modifies the existing environmental assessment and authorizes access to 16 new drill pads, allowing the company to test several high-priority exploration targets across the property. The upcoming program will focus on drilling behind the Red Hills area, targeting the down-dip extension of the Perry Zone while also evaluating a potential bulk-tonnage gold target beneath Red Hills. Lambeck said previous drilling, particularly holes 156 through 158, played a key role in refining the geological model and identifying the next generation of drill targets. The new drill pads also provide access to approximately 1.6 kilometres of strike length south of the Perry Zone, creating multiple opportunities to test the continuity of mineralization and evaluate the broader district-scale potential of the Philadelphia property. “The project is literally only just getting started to really explore that district-scale potential of the Philadelphia property,” Lambeck said. He added that the company is fully funded for the current exploration program, with drill pad construction and site preparations already underway ahead of drilling. Management believes the newly approved permit significantly expands the project's exploration potential by enabling testing of deeper epithermal targets and previously inaccessible areas that could host additional gold-silver mineralization. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #PhiladelphiaProject #GoldMining #ArizonaMining #ExplorationDrilling #GoldMining #BLM #MiningNews #ResourceDiscovery #PreciousMetals

    Almasar Minerals targets Saudi gold and copper frontier ahead of ASX IPO

    Almasar Minerals CEO Dr Brock Salier joined Proactive to discuss the company's exploration strategy in Saudi Arabia, its investment case and a planned ASX IPO targeted for mid-August. Salier explained that Almasar has built a portfolio of five exploration licences covering around 420km², targeting geological settings the company believes are comparable with major mineral belts across Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea. The approach combines regional geological analysis, government datasets and field reconnaissance to prioritise targets across both gold and copper opportunities. Funds from the planned capital raise will support a two-year exploration programme starting with cost-effective techniques before accelerating expenditure on promising discoveries. "We want to get out there with the ground magnetics, the auger rigs, the very quick RC drilling, the soil sampling and almost brute force our way through," Salier said. The interview also covered the significance of the southern licence cluster, the potential of the northern licence, and why Almasar selected the ASX for its listing, with the roadshow process already underway ahead of a mid-August trading debut.

    TNR Gold chair: Altius, McEwen, Ganfeng, Lundin and BHP support royalty-focused growth strategy

    TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, FRA:TNW, OTC:TRRXF) executive chairman Kirill Klip joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's normal course issuer bid, its royalty strategy and progress across its portfolio. Klip said the share buyback reflects management's view that TNR's price doesn't fully reflect underlying value, particularly following a strategic investment by Canadian royalty giant Altius, which he described as an important validation of the portfolio and strategy following extensive due diligence. He also outlined longer-term ambitions to introduce a dividend policy once regulatory requirements are met. On the portfolio, Klip highlighted Ganfeng Lithium's Mariana project exporting its first lithium chloride as a pivotal milestone. "We are transforming and basically graduating from years of being a project-generated junior mining company to potentially cash flow generation royalty company," he said. He also covered McEwen Copper's Los Azules copper project, where ongoing financing and inclusion in Argentina's RIGI investment incentive programme could further de-risk the asset, and provided an update on the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska, which he described as an important source of optionality as TNR pursues a major partner.

    Noble Helium targets August spud in Tanzania

    Noble Helium chief exploration officer and co-founder Justyn Wood talked with Proactive about the company’s upcoming helium drilling campaign in Tanzania, including refinements made following seismic reprocessing and gravity anomaly analysis. Wood said the latest technical work had helped Noble Helium further de-risk the campaign at North Rukwa, with two optimised firm well locations now identified ahead of an expected August spud. The campaign is expected to test multiple objectives, including demonstrating helium in gas phase, collecting the data needed to support a bookable contingent resource, confirming whether helium concentrations increase with depth, and helping unlock the broader North Rukwa portfolio. Wood said the first well is designed to test the shallower part of the structure, while the second well is expected to target deeper formations. He noted that the company is preparing for the possibility of encountering multiple gas lenses during drilling. He also discussed the scale of the North Rukwa opportunity, referencing an independent prospective resource estimate of 225 Bcf and describing the potential significance of proving that the system is working. Ahead of the expected August spud, Wood said long-lead items were arriving, camp construction was underway, and civil works had started, with the rig expected around mid-August.

    Las Opeñas discovery sends NewPeak Metals higher

    NewPeak Metals Ltd (ASX) managing director Mark Purcell talked with Proactive about assay results from the first drill hole of the company’s 2026 drilling program at its 100%-owned Las Opeñas Gold Project in San Juan Province, Argentina. The company confirmed a large-scale gold-zinc-silver discovery from discovery hole 26-LODH-023, which returned mineralisation across the full 663-metre hole at 0.41 grams per tonne gold equivalent. The result included 0.16 grams per tonne gold, 0.65% zinc and 4.53 grams per tonne silver from surface to end of hole. NewPeak Metals shares surged in morning trade after the announcement, rising as high as A$0.031, representing an intraday gain of about 107% from the previous close of A$0.015. Purcell said the company had been targeting a gold-dominant bulk-tonnage opportunity, with silver and zinc present as potential by-products. He noted that assays from the remaining five holes are expected over the next three to six weeks, with the company hoping to move toward a resource at Las Opeñas as soon as possible, depending on the results.

    Grey Matters receives first Brain PET scanner for flagship Florida Alzheimer's clinic

    Grey Matters Health CEO Christopher Moreau joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the arrival of the company’s first brain-dedicated PET scanning system for its flagship NovaScan Neuroimaging Clinics™ location, which is scheduled to open soon in Davie, Florida. Moreau said the clinic will be the first in the United States dedicated exclusively to brain PET imaging, helping address growing demand for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease through beta-amyloid imaging, while also supporting diagnosis of other neurodegenerative disorders. The facility will feature the U.S. FDA-cleared CareMiBrain™ PET system, an innovative scanner that produces high-quality brain images without requiring an integrated CT scanner. The design reduces patient radiation exposure by approximately 25% while offering a more comfortable chair-style scanning experience. In addition to Alzheimer's disease, the CareMiBrain system will support imaging for Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and selected neuro-oncology applications. Moreau noted that brain PET scans used to detect beta-amyloid plaques are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans for eligible patients aged 65 and older. Demand for these scans has also increased following the FDA approval of Leqembi and Kisunla, two monoclonal antibody treatments that slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Patients must receive a positive beta-amyloid brain scan—or an approved alternative diagnostic test—to qualify for these therapies, and ongoing imaging is required to monitor treatment response. Management believes the combination of expanded insurance coverage, new Alzheimer's therapies, and growing demand for early diagnosis creates a significant opportunity for NovaScan as it launches its specialized neuroimaging clinic network in the United States. #proactiveinvestors #greymettershealth #cse #grey #AlzheimersDisease #Neuroimaging #PETScan #HealthcareInnovation #BrainHealth #DementiaResearch #MedicalTechnology #NovaScan #HealthcareServices #MedicalTechnology #Parkinsons #HealthTech #DiagnosticImaging

    Purepoint explains why winter is prime season for Uranium exploration in Saskatchewan

    Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss why uranium exploration in Saskatchewan follows distinct winter and summer drilling seasons, and how seasonal conditions affect exploration efficiency, logistics, and costs. Frostad explained that while year-round drilling may seem ideal, winter often provides the most efficient operating conditions. Frozen lakes, rivers, wetlands, and muskeg allow crews to move drill rigs using winter roads and snow trails, significantly reducing access costs. In contrast, summer exploration frequently requires helicopter-supported operations, making drilling more expensive. He emphasized that successful uranium exploration depends as much on planning as drilling. “You want to make sure you've really digested all the information you've got before you collar that drill,” Frostad said, noting that companies often pause between drilling campaigns to analyze geological data, alteration studies, geophysical information, and assay results before selecting the next drill targets. The discussion also covered assay turnaround times, environmental operating windows, and how information gathered during one exploration season helps refine and improve the next phase of drilling. Frostad also provided an update on Purepoint’s Dorado Project, where the company discovered uranium mineralization at the Nova Zone last year. During the winter campaign, Purepoint completed approximately 5,000 metres of drilling, successfully tracing the mineralized structure over roughly one kilometre. The current summer exploration program is now underway, with 3,100 to 3,200 metres of drilling planned through the end of August. Management aims to further define the mineralized system and identify additional zones of high-grade uranium mineralization. Frostad said the combination of systematic exploration, seasonal planning, and ongoing geological interpretation continues to strengthen Purepoint’s understanding of the Dorado project and its discovery potential. #proactiveinvestors #purepointuraniumgroup #tsxv #ptu #otcqb #ptuuf #Uranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #SaskatchewanMining #CriticalMinerals #ExplorationDrilling #MiningNews #NuclearEnergy #DoradoProject

    PT Asset Management sees value in municipal bonds and high-quality credit

    PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield joined Proactive's Steve Darling to discuss the current bond market environment, the Performance Trust Total Return Bond ETF, and where investors may find opportunities amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, and credit markets. Dranfield said the yield curve has flattened as short-term interest rates have risen more sharply than long-term rates, largely reflecting persistent inflation concerns. He noted that forecasting interest rates remains extremely challenging, even for central banks, making flexibility an important part of portfolio construction. “We're entirely rate agnostic. We don't believe anybody, including us, can predict rates,” Dranfield said. Rather than trying to anticipate rate movements, PT Asset Management focuses on building balanced portfolios that combine both offensive and defensive positioning. On the offensive side, Dranfield highlighted taxable and tax-exempt U.S. municipal bonds, which he believes currently offer attractive yields and favorable yield curve dynamics. For more defensive positioning, he pointed to high-quality structured credit, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and selected short-duration bank bonds. He noted that corporate bond spreads have narrowed back to levels seen earlier in the year, limiting the additional compensation available for taking on lower-quality credit risk. According to Dranfield, investors can currently access yields in the 5% to 7% range while limiting both credit risk and interest rate sensitivity by emphasizing higher-quality, shorter-duration fixed-income investments. He also discussed the role bonds can play alongside equities, noting that high-quality fixed-income investments have historically provided valuable diversification and stability during periods of market uncertainty. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #PTAssetManagement #BondETF #TotalReturn #ShapeManagement #InvestmentStrategies #BondMarket #InterestRates #USInvesting #StructuredCredit #EuropeanInvestors #FinanceInterview #MunicipalBonds #ETFInvesting #InterestRates #CreditMarkets #PortfolioManagement #IncomeInvesting #MarketOutlook

    Custom Health targets U.S. growth with connected pharmacy platform and TSX debut

    Custom Health CEO Shane Bishop joined Steve Darling from to discuss the company’s technology-enabled pharmacy platform, expansion strategy, and growth opportunities following its recent listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker CHLT. Bishop explained that Custom Health has evolved from addressing medication administration challenges in long-term care into a connected healthcare platform that integrates company-owned pharmacies, in-home medication dispensing devices, remote clinicians, and physicians. The platform collects patient data up to four times a day through connected medication devices and integrates the information with electronic health records to provide clinicians with real-time treatment recommendations. One of the company’s key growth areas is pain management in the United States. Bishop said the platform provides full chain-of-custody tracking for opioid medications while collecting patient-reported pain data, allowing clinicians to identify opportunities to safely reduce opioid use. As he noted, “We’ve actually managed to lower the amount of opioids patients take by 27%.” Bishop highlighted Custom Health’s acquisition strategy, with the company targeting pharmacies in markets where reimbursement models are already established. Bishop said owning pharmacies enables the company to deploy its technology consistently while combining acquisition-driven expansion with organic patient growth. Looking ahead, Bishop expects the majority of future growth to come from the United States, where reimbursement structures are more favorable for the company’s connected care services, while continuing to pursue opportunities in Canada.

    Trillion Energy advances Türkiye oil exploration with M47 field program

    Trillion Energy International President Scott Lower joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the successful completion of a technical field scouting program across the company’s M47 exploration licence in southeastern Türkiye, an important step in preparing for a planned geophysical survey during the 2026 field season. Lower said the June 6–8 program focused on evaluating priority exploration targets, validating geological interpretations, and optimizing the design of future seismic data acquisition. The technical team combined field observations with historical well data, existing seismic information, gravity data, and regional geological models to refine its understanding of the licence area. Particular attention was given to prospective structural trends in the eastern and northeastern portions of the M47 licence. Surface mapping confirmed the presence of significant fault-related structures that are believed to play an important role in hydrocarbon migration and trapping, providing additional confidence in previously identified exploration targets. The team also reviewed historical drilling results from the northeastern part of the licence, where differences between nearby wells indicate a more complex fault-controlled structural framework than previously understood. Management believes the existing seismic coverage is insufficient to fully define these relationships, reinforcing the need for a new geophysical survey. By integrating well control, seismic data, gravity surveys, and field observations, Trillion has developed an updated geological and geophysical model to guide exploration. The upcoming seismic program will utilize modern nodal recording technology, which is expected to improve subsurface imaging while maximizing operational efficiency in the region's terrain. Detailed planning for the survey is now underway, and management expects the new dataset to significantly enhance prospect ranking and reduce exploration risk across the M47 licence. Lower said the combination of field validation, geological interpretation, historical well analysis, and planned seismic acquisition represents an important milestone in advancing the M47 project toward future drilling opportunities. #proactiveinvestors #trillionenergyinternational #cse #tcf #otcqb #trlef #OilExploration #Türkiye #Energy #SeismicSurvey #Hydrocarbons #Exploration #Geophysics #EnergySecurity #MiningNews

    ADT UK acquisition lifts Intelligent Monitoring Group's cash flow outlook

    Intelligent Monitoring Group Ltd managing director Dennison Hambling talked with Proactive about the company’s binding agreement to acquire ADT’s residential security business in the United Kingdom, describing the transaction as one of the transformative moments in the company’s recent history. Hambling said the deal gives Intelligent Monitoring Group immediate exposure to one of the world’s largest established security markets through ADT, which he described as “the most revered and longest standing name in that market”. The company has already acquired ADT businesses in Australia and New Zealand, and Hambling said the UK acquisition allows it to apply technology and operating practices developed in Australia to a much larger residential security portfolio. Intelligent Monitoring Group has built a video-enabled monitoring platform designed to help detect and stop criminal activity before or during an event, working with police when required. Discussing the financial impact, Hambling said the acquisition is “40% EPS accretive” at the simplest level and would position Intelligent Monitoring Group as a business with more than $100 million of free cash flow before interest and tax. He also highlighted the recurring revenue profile, saying 72% of the combined business would be recurring revenue, while the ADT UK business is 92% recurring revenue. Hambling also confirmed that Intelligent Monitoring Group has acquired the rights to the ADT brand in the UK, while the acquired business is focused on the residential market.

    Lightning Minerals confirms rhyolite-hosted gold at Mt Turner

    Lightning Minerals Ltd managing director Troy Brice talked with Proactive about the company’s Mt Turner Gold Project in northern Queensland and the results of an independent University of New South Wales petrology study, which confirmed the presence of rhyolite intrusion-hosted gold mineralisation. Brice said the study provided “strong, independent validation” of Lightning Minerals Ltd’s exploration model and supported the company’s view that Mt Turner may host a large-scale district gold system. The study was based on selected drill core from the company’s 2025 diamond drilling program and found that gold mineralisation is associated with rhyolite and dacite intrusions along the 14-kilometre Drummer Fault corridor. Brice explained that the findings indicated a large-scale, long-lived mineralised system rather than a series of separate mineralised pockets. He said the results were “better than expected” and gave the company further confidence that it is applying the right exploration plan and drilling in the right locations. The company plans to use the petrology findings to refine targets ahead of its Phase 2 drilling program, which is scheduled to start in mid-July 2026. Brice said the program would help build toward Phase 3 drilling in November and support the company’s work toward a future mineral resource estimate.

    Bradda Head Lithium chair: why analysts see major upside

    Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL) executive chairman Ian Stalker joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the Whistlejacket lithium project in Arizona and why recent analyst coverage points to a significant valuation opportunity. Stalker said independent research from Greenwood Capital and Shard Capital both concluded the company could be worth considerably more than its current market valuation. He attributed the gap partly to Bradda Head keeping a low profile until the Rio Tinto joint venture was completed, while improving lithium sector sentiment is now drawing renewed investor attention. The Rio Tinto partnership, he noted, has added considerable value through the major's thorough approach to project evaluation. Beyond Whistlejacket, Stalker highlighted the Basin clay project, which already hosts a compliant resource, reinforcing the strategic value of the company's diversified US portfolio. Near-term milestones include drilling expected before the end of July, a maiden compliant resource at Whistlejacket targeted for early 2027, and an internal goal of reaching production by end of 2027. "We're moving from an exploration company... into a resource company, putting them into real numbers, and from that into an operational company where cash flow is a guaranteed successful input," Stalker said.

    Metals One MD on 2025 pivot to gold and uranium plus upcoming milestones

    Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's transformation in 2025, following a £15 million fundraising and a strategic shift away from Scandinavian nickel towards gold and uranium. Maling explained that as nickel market conditions weakened, the board made a conscious decision to reposition. "The board made a conscious decision to pivot into new areas such as gold and uranium," he said. Impairment charges were taken against the Black Schist nickel project, though the assets are retained for their long-term optionality. The balance sheet has moved, he said, "significantly into what we feel is more tangible gold and uranium projects." On uranium, DISA Technologies is expected to assess uranium values in US waste dumps over the next six to twelve months under a revenue-sharing arrangement, with updates to follow. Key milestones to watch include the Lions Bay Capital transaction involving South African gold and power assets, exploration through Fidelity Minerals in Peru, and potential drilling on Metals One's operated uranium and gold projects in the US.

    Imugene azer-cel trial shows complete response

    Imugene Ltd managing director and CEO Leslie Chong talked with Proactive about the first complete response reported in the concurrent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, or BTKi, cohort of the company’s ongoing Phase 1b azer-cel trial. Chong said the result was an important milestone for patients with limited remaining treatment options, particularly those who had relapsed on or become refractory to BTKi therapy. The first patient in the cohort, who had follicular lymphoma and had previously failed BTKi therapy, achieved a complete response at the Day 28 assessment. Chong explained that a complete response means the patient’s cancer was “completely gone”, adding that patients who fail BTK inhibitors often have few alternatives. She said Imugene is evaluating whether azer-cel can be used concurrently with BTKi therapy to help restore or enhance treatment activity. She also highlighted the commercial relevance of BTKi therapy, describing it as a market worth about US$12 billion. Chong said azer-cel’s off-the-shelf, allogeneic CAR-T profile could offer an availability advantage compared with traditional autologous CAR-T therapies, which may require patients to wait several weeks for their own cells to be re-engineered. Imugene has dosed four patients so far in the concurrent BTKi combination cohort and plans to provide further updates as the dataset matures.

    St George Mining hits 199.5m of high grade rare earths and niobium: raises A$60 million

    St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company’s latest progress at the 100%-owned Araxá Rare Earths and Niobium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, following a A$60 million capital raise and the release of its thickest mineralised intercept to date. Prineas said the funding was raised to top up cash reserves and accelerate development workstreams, with Hancock Prospecting contributing a further A$20 million and increasing its stake in St George Mining Ltd from 6% to 10%. He described the investment as “quite a strong validation” of the company’s potential, noting Hancock’s exposure to major rare earths producers outside China. The interview also covered the latest drilling result from the main deposit, where St George Mining Ltd reported 199.5 metres of high-grade mineralisation continuous from surface. Prineas said this was “a real point of difference” for the deposit, highlighting that the mineralisation starts at surface and continues down to around 200 metres. Prineas said St George is now moving toward development studies, supported by strong metallurgical test results and the appointment of Worley as feasibility technical manager. He said investors could expect further news flow over the next six months, including a scoping study, final metallurgical results and a potential final investment decision within 12 to 18 months.

    Arizona Gold & Silver reports up to 99% gold recovery at Philadelphia project

    Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss encouraging metallurgical test results from the Philadelphia gold-silver project in Mohave County, Arizona, highlighting strong gold recoveries through both agitation and heap leach processing. Stark said agitation leach cyanidation achieved gold recoveries of 91% to 99% using modest grind sizes of 0.40 to 0.136 mm (40–110 mesh). More than 50% of the total gold was recovered within the first 10 days of column leaching, demonstrating rapid extraction characteristics. Heap leach testing also delivered positive results, with 84% gold recovery from bulk material crushed to -6.3 mm using high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) over a 177-day leach cycle. Regression analysis indicates recoveries could increase to approximately 86% over 360 days. Silver recoveries ranged from 49% to 72% through agitation leaching, while heap leach processing achieved 37% silver recovery. Testing also showed that HPGR crushing improved gold recovery by 12% compared with conventional crushing methods, while silver recovery improved by approximately 3%. Agglomeration and compaction testing demonstrated that the crushed material is suitable for heap stacking heights of 10 to more than 30 metres with the addition of only 2 to 4 kilograms of cement per tonne, supporting the project's heap leach potential. Based on the results, management believes higher-grade material could be processed through agitation cyanide leaching to maximize gold and silver recovery, while lower-grade ore could be treated economically through HPGR-assisted heap leaching. The metallurgical work was conducted on a 415.5-kilogram bulk sample collected from the current surface operation. Head assays returned 1.929 to 1.988 g/t gold and 2.82 to 3.34 g/t silver, exceeding the original target grade of 1.0 to 1.2 g/t gold. The company said the higher grades are consistent with previous sampling, reflecting the presence of fine and wire gold within the deposit. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #PhiladelphiaProject #GoldMining #SilverMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #MiningNews #GoldRecovery #ArizonaMining #Exploration

    Aduro and AstroTurf partner to advance chemical recycling of end-of-life synthetic turf

    Aduro Clean Technologies CEO Ofer Vi-cus joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AstroTurf to evaluate the use of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) for recycling end-of-life synthetic turf. Vicus said the collaboration will assess how HCT, combined with mechanical pre-treatment, can recover polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) from used synthetic turf and convert those materials into liquid hydrocarbons suitable for use as circular feedstock within existing petrochemical infrastructure. The companies will work together to evaluate the full recycling process, including field recovery, material separation, removal of infill, cleaning of plastic components, and preparation of the PE/PP-rich fraction for chemical conversion. The goal is to establish a technically and economically viable recycling pathway for complex synthetic turf systems. Synthetic turf contains valuable PE and PP components in its grass blades, thatch, and backing layers, but these materials are often difficult to recover because they are combined with polyurethane backings, adhesives, sand, rubber infill, and contaminants accumulated during years of field use. Vicus noted that Aduro has already demonstrated through laboratory testing that its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology can selectively convert the PE and PP portions of post-use synthetic turf into shorter-chain hydrocarbon products suitable for further upgrading or use as steam cracker feedstock. The latest agreement builds on that work and follows earlier testing conducted with another global synthetic turf manufacturer. The collaboration is expected to help define a practical recycling pathway for synthetic turf while supporting broader circular economy initiatives within the plastics and sports infrastructure industries. Looking ahead, Vicus described 2026 and 2027 as important development years for the company. Aduro's pilot plant is now operational and is being used to evaluate a range of feedstocks while helping optimise the process for the company's first industrial-scale facility. Construction activities continue at the company's Netherlands site, where an initial 10,000-tonne-per-year unit is planned with the potential to expand to approximately 25,000 tonnes annually. Vicus also highlighted the recent expansion of the company's patent portfolio into paraffinic crude upgrading, identifying additional opportunities within the energy sector. As Vicus noted, "We feel it's again a transformative year for us. #adurocleanyechnolgies #nasdaq #adur #tsx #act #AstroTurf #ChemicalRecycling #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #Hydrochemolytic #Sustainability #CleanTech #AdvancedRecycling #ESG

    Varon expands Ballislife with Egypt Dean investment in HYDRO and Florida retail rollout

    Varon Corp CEO Benjamin Schubert joined Steve Darling from Proactive Varon Corp CEO Benjamin Schubert joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new momentum for Ballislife HYDRO, the company’s basketball-focused hydration brand, following a seven-figure strategic investment from 15-year-old entrepreneur and basketball player Egypt Dean and a new retail expansion for Ballislife across Central Florida. Schubert said the investment from Dean, the son of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, represents more than a financing event. It marks the start of a broader strategic relationship that could support marketing, retail expansion, brand awareness, and access to influential networks across sports, entertainment, culture, and business as Ballislife HYDRO continues its national growth strategy. The investment also stands out because of Dean’s own entrepreneurial story. At just five years old, he produced a beat later used by Kendrick Lamar, generating royalty income that continued for years. Those earnings helped fund his investment in Ballislife HYDRO, making the transaction a rare example of a young creator reinvesting proceeds from his own success into a brand aligned with his interests in basketball, health, and culture. In addition to the investment, Schubert said Ballislife has secured placement in approximately 95 retail locations across Central Florida through one of North America’s largest convenience store operators, which has more than 12,000 stores across the United States. The rollout is designed to introduce the brand into high-traffic retail environments where hydration and functional beverage consumption remain consistently strong. The Central Florida launch is also supported by the brand’s alignment with NBA guard Desmond Bane, adding athlete-backed credibility as Ballislife enters more everyday, high-volume retail channels. Ballislife Drink is a new age performance-formulated sports beverage designed to support endurance, hydration, and mental focus. The product combines beet juice concentrate for nitric oxide support, beta-alanine to help delay muscle fatigue, and a comprehensive electrolyte blend to optimize hydration and recovery. B6 and B12 support energy metabolism, while L-theanine enhances focus, all delivered without caffeine and with just 45 calories from organic cane sugar. #proactiveinvestors #otcid #otc #ozsc #FunctionalBeverages #SportsDrink #BallislifeHYDRO #FunctionalBeverages #SportsDrink #EgyptDean #BasketballCulture #ConsumerBrands #WellnessBeverages #BrandGrowth #SportsMarketing

    Aftermath Silver adds strategic U.S. advisory board to advance Berenguela critical minerals project

    Aftermath Silver Chairman Michael Williams joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s new strategic advisory engagement with Global Frontier Advisors (GFA) and the formation of an Advisory Board to help position its Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in Peru as a potential critical minerals source for U.S.-aligned supply chains. Williams said the company has entered into a formal Advisory Services Agreement through its newly formed U.S. subsidiary, U.S. Critical Minerals Corp. (USCMC). As part of that process, Aftermath has appointed three founding GFA partners as inaugural members of the Advisory Board: Lieutenant General David Bellon (USMC, Ret.), Lieutenant General Michael S. Groen (USMC, Ret.), and Ambassador James “Jimmy” Story (Ret.). The board has been established to support the strategic positioning of the 100%-owned Berenguela project, which contains silver, copper, and manganese and could become an important source of critical materials for U.S. battery, industrial, and defense-related supply chains. Aftermath said the company is evaluating partnerships, offtake agreements, and funding structures to help advance Berenguela in alignment with U.S. efforts to secure Western Hemisphere critical mineral feedstock for domestic refining and manufacturing capacity. Management believes this creates an opportunity to position Berenguela as a strategically important project within North American critical minerals policy. With the new advisory board in place, USCMC gains access to senior-level expertise and relationships across the U.S. national security, defense, energy, and development finance communities. Aftermath said the advisors are expected to help the company engage with relevant government departments and agencies while also identifying potential eligibility for federal and state funding programs. These could include opportunities under the Defense Production Act, as well as programs administered by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. Management believes the advisory engagement strengthens Aftermath’s ability to pursue strategic partnerships and financing options that could accelerate development of Berenguela as a potential long-term source of critical minerals for U.S.-based supply chains. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #CriticalMinerals #Berenguela #SilverMining #CopperMining #Manganese #USSupplyChain #DefenseMaterials #BatteryMaterials #MiningNews

    Pinnacle Silver secures Auramet financing partner for El Potrero mine development

    Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s agreement with Auramet Capital Partners to arrange up to US$5 million in non-equity project financing for the development of its high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Archer said Auramet has been appointed as Lead Project Financier and will work with Pinnacle during a seven-month exclusivity period to structure a financing package, subject to due diligence, operational progress, and customary closing conditions. Management believes the non-equity approach could significantly reduce shareholder dilution while advancing the project toward production. Development at El Potrero continues to move forward, with underground delineation drilling underway and two phases of metallurgical testing returning encouraging results. Test work indicates head grades averaging approximately 7.7 g/t gold and 116 g/t silver, with gold recoveries exceeding 97% and silver recoveries of roughly 70%. The company has also completed a feasibility study for a 3.3-kilometre powerline extension, while baseline studies for a water licence and other permitting requirements are progressing. Community agreements are also being finalized to support future mine development. Auramet is one of the world's largest precious metals merchants and has provided more than US$1.5 billion in project financing since its founding in 2004. The firm offers project finance, direct lending, physical metals trading, and merchant banking services across the global precious metals industry. Under Pinnacle's agreement for El Potrero, the company will earn an initial 50% interest upon commencing production. Management's objective is to use project cash flow to increase its ownership to 100%, subject to a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. Archer said the financing strategy is designed to accelerate development while minimizing equity dilution and positioning El Potrero as a potential near-term gold and silver producer. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #ElPotrero #GoldMining #SilverMining #ProjectFinance #Auramet #MiningNews #PreciousMetals #MineDevelopment #MexicoMining

    Fox Tungsten launches fully funded 20,000-metre drill program at British Columbia Project

    Fox Tungsten CEO Steve Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the start of the company’s fully funded 20,000-metre drill program at the Fox Project in south-central British Columbia, marking a major step in advancing the company’s flagship tungsten asset. Gray said the first of two planned diamond drill rigs has now been mobilized to site and drilling is underway at the project, located about 75 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House. A second rig is expected to arrive in early July, allowing the company to ramp up activity across multiple targets during the 2026 field season. Approximately 60% of the drill program will focus on expanding the existing Fox mineral resource in support of an updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) targeted for the first half of 2027. Key priorities include testing the continuity of mineralization between the BN, RC, and BK zones along strike, as well as drilling down-dip extensions of the BN and RC zones. Another 30% of the drilling will target high-priority exploration opportunities across the broader Fox property with the goal of identifying new tungsten-bearing zones and increasing the project’s long-term growth potential. This work will include testing deeper extensions of known resource areas as well as new targets at Fox North and the August Showing. The remaining 10% of drilling will be directed toward the nearby Silverboss property, where Fox plans to evaluate prospective copper and molybdenum targets. Planned targets include potential molybdenum mineralization northwest of Glencore’s former Boss Mountain mine at the 10 Mile Creek target, along with the Gus Zone copper soil anomaly. Drilling is expected to continue through October 2026, with assay results to be released periodically as they become available. Management believes the program has the potential to both grow the existing Fox resource and unlock additional exploration upside across the company’s broader land package. #proactiveinvestors #happycreekmineralsltd #tsxv #foxt #Tungsten #FoxTungsten #TungstenProject #Mining #CriticalMinerals #Tungsten #Exploration #BritishColumbia #ResourceDevelopment #Commodities #Drilling #Investing #PEA #CopperExploration #Molybdenum

    Metals One's Daniel Maling on unlocking value with Lions Bay consolidation

    Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF) managing director Daniel Maling joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the strategic consolidation of the company's Lions Bay investments, lifting its ownership to 54.3% and bringing its South African mining interests under a single listed vehicle. Maling said the deal caps roughly ten months of work with Lions Bay Resources and Lions Bay Capital, during which Metals One advanced about £5 million in loan funding to support acquisitions, including a cogeneration plant in Newcastle and the Barbrook business rescue process. He said the converted stake reflects a substantial uplift in the underlying equity value created through those investments. On Barbrook, Maling said the company is in the final stages of securing the remaining Section 11 approvals needed to transfer the mining leases, with site preparation, safety procedures and community engagement already underway. An updated Competent Person's Report is expected around September or October to further define the mine plan and resource base. Beyond South Africa, Maling highlighted growing exposure to the Las Huaquillas project in Peru, offering significant exploration upside with a known gold resource and two discovered copper porphyry systems. Watch the full interview to hear how Metals One is positioning its portfolio, advancing the Barbrook restart and expanding its exposure to gold opportunities in South Africa and Peru.
