Digbee founder and CEO Jamie Strauss and GreenRoc Strategic Materials CEO Stefan Bernstein talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the GreenRoc’s recent completion of the Digbee ESG disclosure and how it is helping shape the company’s credibility and risk approach at an early stage of its development. Bernstein said the independent assessment has provided “a set of corporate and project analytics at our hand,” allowing GreenRoc to clearly identify both its strengths and the areas where improvements are needed. He added, “It gives us a list of what we are doing well... and shows us things where we can improve.” The ESG review has also shifted how the leadership team considers risk and opportunity. Bernstein said the process has sharpened his view of ESG and reinforced the importance of having the “willingness” to face and improve upon the mineral industry’s legacy challenges. Strauss said GreenRoc’s disclosure creates a “practical approach to creating value.” He highlighted communication, guidance, and preparation as key benefits — especially in helping companies be ready for milestones such as financing and project development. Strauss noted that early adoption of ESG assessments allows companies like GreenRoc to build transparency and social license with communities and regulators.

Formation Metals CEO Deepak Varshney joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce plans for a 20,000-metre multi-phase drill program at the company’s flagship N2 Gold Project in Quebec. The N2 Project hosts a historic global resource of approximately 870,000 ounces of gold, including 18 million tonnes grading 1.4 g/t Au across four zones, and 243,000 tonnes grading 7.82 g/t Au in the high-grade RJ zone. The N2 project was acquired from Walbridge Mining in January. Varshney said the project attracted them because of a historical resource and a clear pathway to expanding this to over 3 million ounces.. Varshney confirmed that the first 5,000 metres of drilling is fully funded and set to begin this summer. The program will focus on discovery drilling at new high-potential targets along the mineralized trends in the “A,” “RJ,” and “Central” zones in the northern part of the property. The goal is to uncover new gold-bearing trends and expand existing mineralization. Additionally, the program will include targeted infill and expansion drilling to significantly enhance the project’s resource base, supported by a recently secured exploration permit. #proactiveinvestors #formationmetalsinc #cse #fomo #otc #fomtf #GoldExploration #N2Project #QuebecMining #JuniorMining #GoldDrilling #MiningInvesting #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #ProactiveInvestors…

Helix Exploration PLC CEO Bo Sears talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s newly launched trading on the US-based OTCQB market under the ticker 'HHEXF'. Already listed on London's AIM, the company is expanding access to US investors by offering an additional route for participation in its helium development strategy. Sears explained the reasoning behind the dual listing, stating: “We have had so much interest here in the United States. It is very difficult for a US investor to invest on the AIM market. So this just gives them another avenue.” He also expressed optimism that trading volumes seen on AIM would translate into the US market, helping drive further liquidity. The CEO described Helix's operations as a “large single field, multiple well development” and emphasised the company’s low-cost model, which he believes provides a competitive advantage under current market pressures. “Each drill, we come in at a lower cost... from a competitor standpoint, I think we are far beyond most of our competitors in this space,” he said. The move aligns with Helix's forward-looking growth strategy as the company transitions toward production. Sears stated the company is operating “full steam ahead” and the OTCQB listing is “just another avenue” to broaden its investor base.

Tiger Gold Corp CEO Robert Vallis and LCL Resources Executive Chairman Chris (van vake)Van Wijk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide deeper insight into a transformational deal for both companies: Tiger Gold Corp’s acquisition of the Quinchia and Andes gold projects in Colombia from LCL Resources. This strategic transaction sets the stage for accelerated development and value creation, moving these promising assets from exploration into an aggressive development trajectory. Under the terms of the binding Share Purchase Option Agreement, Tiger Gold will acquire 100% ownership of the projects for AUD$14 million in cash, along with a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) retained by LCL. The deal marks a significant shift for Tiger Gold from a predominantly exploration-focused entity to a development-stage gold company, with the resources and team now in place to unlock the full potential of the Quinchia District. The Quinchia and Andes projects are considered some of the most promising emerging gold opportunities in Colombia. Located in the country's renowned Mid-Cauca Gold Belt, the assets include the advanced-stage Miraflores deposit, which is fully permitted for underground development, as well as the nearby Tesorito deposit, a newer discovery that shows strong potential for resource expansion and synergies with Miraflores. Together, these deposits represent over 2 million ounces of discovered gold to date, with significant upside remaining through continued exploration. LCL Resources, having spent several years advancing these assets through disciplined exploration, community engagement, and environmental stewardship, has laid a strong foundation. Executive Chairman Chris Van Wijk noted that the company’s success in securing local trust and permitting at Miraflores has been a cornerstone of its value creation strategy. “This isn’t just a resource play—it’s a demonstration of responsible mining and authentic partnership with our Colombian stakeholders,” said Van Wijk. “We’re confident that Tiger Gold is the right partner to take this to the next stage.” For Tiger Gold Corp, this acquisition provides a clear pathway to production. CEO Robert Vallis outlined the company’s near-term plan, which includes the launch of a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). This study will focus on the fully permitted Miraflores deposit and incorporate the adjacent Tesorito discovery, with the goal of integrating both into a coherent development plan. The PEA will serve as a launching point for more detailed engineering and economic analysis, ultimately paving the way for a Feasibility Study targeted for 2026, and a subsequent construction decision. Both Vallis and Van Wijk emphasized that the transaction reflects not only a transfer of assets but the beginning of a strategic relationship between the companies—one that may extend into future collaboration opportunities. As work begins on the ground, Tiger Gold is assembling technical and permitting teams to prepare for expanded drilling, updated resource modeling, and engineering studies that will form the backbone of the PEA. These early initiatives are designed to de-risk the project, build investor confidence, and maintain momentum through to the next critical development milestones. #proactiveinvestors #asx #lcl #lclresources #tigergoldcorp LCLResources #TigerGold #GoldExploration #PapuaNewGuinea #MiningNews #JuniorMining #GoldInvestment #ESGMining #PorphyryGold #KusiDeposit #ColombianAssets #MiningDeal #ResourceExpansion #ProactiveInvestors…

Saturna Capital Chief Investment Officer Scott Klimo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the firm's distinctive approach to Islamic investing through its European-listed Saturna Al-Kawthar Global Focused Equity UCITS ETF. Saturna Capital is the largest manager of Islamic-compliant assets in North America, managing approximately $8 billion and bringing over 36 years of experience to the space. Klimo highlighted that the ETF is actively managed, setting it apart from most Islamic investment vehicles, which are typically index-based. Each month, the firm screens roughly 5,000 global stocks, of which around 2,400 meet its Islamic compliance criteria. The screening process includes: • Qualitative filters, excluding industries such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and conventional finance. • Quantitative rules, notably a cap on debt levels to ensure financial compliance with Islamic principles. Rather than seeing this narrower universe as restrictive, Klimo views it as a strength. “We’re actually creating a pool of stocks that are predisposed to outperform,” he said, suggesting that compliant companies tend to be financially healthier and better positioned for downside protection. The ETF follows a global allocation strategy, with about 40% of holdings outside the U.S., focused on markets like Europe and Japan, where Klimo sees more attractive valuations. This approach allows investors to gain exposure to global equities while adhering to Islamic principles, backed by active management and disciplined screening. #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #SaturnaCapital #ScottKlimo #IslamicInvesting #GlobalEquityETF #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialMarkets #IslamicFinance #AssetManagement #EthicalInvesting #MarketInsights #IslamicCompliantAssets #ETFInvesting #InvestmentPortfolio #EconomicOutlook #StockMarket #TechnologyStocks #HealthcareInvesting #IndustrialsSector #ConsumerStaples #ConsumerDiscretionary #InterestRates #MarketConditions #EconomicTrends #WealthManagement #AssetAllocation #InvestorInsights…

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive about the performance and growing investor interest in the Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend ETF. The ETF tracks a dividend-weighted index of U.S. and Canadian midstream energy infrastructure companies and U.S. master limited partnerships. Morris emphasized that midstream companies, which manage the transportation, storage, and processing of oil and natural gas, generate more stable cash flows than other energy sectors. This is due to their fee-based business model and long-term contracts. She outlined three key reasons investors are allocating capital to midstream including positive growth trends in North American natural gas demand, the defensive nature of midstream assets during oil market volatility and an attractive dividend yields that surpass those offered by utilities and REITs. Morris noted that midstream offers exposure to natural gas infrastructure without the price volatility of the commodity itself. She added that Q1 2025 results showed resilience, with companies reaffirming EBITDA guidance. Growth opportunities in the sector are centered around natural gas and natural gas liquids, particularly through LNG exports and increased electricity demand. Midstream firms are expanding infrastructure from production to export, supported by long-term contracts and appealing returns. #proactiveinvestors #MidstreamEnergy #EnergyETF #NaturalGasDemand #StaceyMorris #EnergyInfrastructure #AlerianETF #OilPrices #LNG #InvestorInsights #CommodityMarkets #EnergyMarketUpdate #DefensiveInvesting #ProactiveInvestors…

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil promising assay results from the company’s ongoing Phase 2 diamond drill program at its flagship Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in southern Peru. The latest results come from 16 additional drill holes, forming part of the 82-hole, 5,200-metre program targeting resource expansion and definition in a highly prospective area of the deposit. The drilling was focused on the central-north section of Berenguela, specifically along the northern limit of the existing mineral resource and just east of a prominent cross-cutting fault zone. This strategic zone was selected to extend mineralization margins while upgrading inferred resources to indicated and potentially measured categories, contributing directly to a future mineral resource update and supporting upcoming technical studies. Rushton explained that the drilling was carried out at high angles to known mineralization, ensuring that the intersections are a close representation of true thickness. The weighted average core recovery in mineralized zones was an impressive 96%, indicating high drilling precision and core quality, although some lower recoveries were noted in shallow zones and around historical underground workings. Hole AFD129 returned an intercept of 12.35 metres grading 302 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, 0.66% copper, and 10.64% manganese, from just 2.40 to 16.75 metres downhole — highlighting the project's near-surface, high-grade potential. Hole AFD130 was even more remarkable, yielding a 35.55-metre interval averaging 322 g/t silver, with substantial copper and manganese values throughout. Notably, within this interval was a high-grade sub-section at 7.10 metres, which returned 1174 g/t silver and an impressive 11.14% manganese. The company noted that assay results for the final 11 drill holes from the Phase 2 campaign are expected to be released in the near term. Once all results are received, Aftermath plans to update the mineral resource estimate. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing…

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful acquisition of 10 unpatented lode mining claims that constitute the Sycamore Canyon Epithermal Gold-Silver Project in southeastern Arizona. The acquisition marks a strategic addition to the company’s asset portfolio, offering a low-cost entry into a potentially high-reward gold-silver system, while the company remains focused on its flagship Philadelphia Gold-Silver Project in northwestern Arizona. The Sycamore Canyon Project is located in Graham County, with easy access via 4.5 miles of gravel road off US Highway 191, just seven miles north of Interstate I-10. The area is supported by nearby infrastructure, including two large powerlines that cross US191 near the project site—an advantage for any future development. Stark described the Sycamore Canyon system as a gold-silver epithermal mineral system, expressed on surface by a silicified breccia body over 600 metres long and up to 80 metres wide, with additional parallel zones of intense silica veining. Surface sampling and geophysical data suggest the potential for volumetrically significant gold mineralization, which the company believes warrants further investigation. While Arizona Gold & Silver has already initiated a Plan of Operations with the U.S. Forest Service to permit exploration drilling at Sycamore, the process was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains on hold as the company allocates its current exploration capital to advancing the Philadelphia Project. With the Sycamore Canyon claims now fully secured, the company is exploring the possibility of partnering with another group to unlock the project's potential, offering a joint venture or similar arrangement to move Sycamore forward without diverting resources from its primary asset. This acquisition strengthens Arizona Gold and Silver’s exploration portfolio and provides a clear pathway for potential future development through strategic partnerships—positioning the company for long-term growth in Arizona’s gold-silver-rich regions. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #SycamoreCanyon #JointVentureOpportunity #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors…

North Bay Resources CEO Jarad Lazerson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a detailed update on the company's operational progress and near-term production targets, as well as its long-term plans for scaling gold output and exploration. Lazerson confirmed that North Bay has received settlement for its April gold shipments and has implemented critical mill upgrades to enhance operational efficiency. "We upgraded the record classifier significantly, pulled out the attenuator, hot welded it, and fabricated a new control bar," he said. These modifications have restored mill performance, and the team is currently fine-tuning grind settings to optimize gravity gold recovery. In the short term, North Bay is aiming to process 100 tons of ore per week at a head grade of 0.3 grams per ton (g/t)—equating to about 30 ounces of gold weekly, or over $100,000 in weekly revenue at current prices. In the medium term, the company plans to scale production to 100 tons per day, targeting monthly revenues of $400,000 to $500,000. Lazerson outlined a dual-track strategy at the Fran property: advancing exploration of a bulk-tonnage disseminated deposit with an estimated resource of nearly 500,000 ounces of gold, while simultaneously launching bulk sampling of high-grade surface oxide zones. This approach is designed to accelerate both discovery and near-term cash flow. The company is also implementing tight grade control over its stockpiles to maximize mill head grades and ensure consistent output. The gravity circuit is nearly optimized, and flotation enhancements are underway—including the installation of a new mixing tank to improve both gold and sulfide recovery. Lazerson emphasized that consistent production will streamline logistics, enhance processing efficiency, and support the company’s goal of sustainable, profitable operations. With infrastructure upgrades in place and early production gains materializing, North Bay Resources is positioning itself for steady growth and value creation in the junior gold sector. #proactiveinvestors #northbayresourcesinc #otc #nbri #PlatinumConcentrate #NorthBayResources #MiningNews #CaliforniaGold #JaredLazerson #GoldRush #stock #stockmarketnews ResourceEstimate #NorthBayResources #MiningInvestment #JuniorMining #GoldExploration #MiningFinance #MergersAndAcquisitions #GoldPrice #NI43101 #MiningNews #InvestorUpdate…

Foresight Solar Fund Ltd (LSE:FSFL) fund manager Ross Driver talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s performance so far in 2025, with a strong recovery in UK solar generation driven by record sunshine in March and April. Driver confirmed that electricity generation in the UK was around 9.5% above budget for the year to 30 April, or 12.5% excluding network outages. He discussed the fund’s proactive power price hedging strategy, explaining that it locks in electricity prices to secure income visibility and strengthen dividend cover. “We’ve been able to strike agreements at levels that we see as accretive to dividend cover,” Driver said, adding that this results in a fixed revenue profile of 90% for 2025. Turning to growth, Driver outlined a development pipeline of nearly one gigawatt across solar and battery storage, mostly in Spain. The first solar project is expected to reach ready-to-build status later this year, with battery projects also progressing. On corporate developments, Driver confirmed a formal proposal had been considered but did not progress. The board continues to evaluate strategic options, alongside initiatives such as a £50 million share buyback and reduced management fees, to address the current share price discount to NAV.

atai Life Sciences CEO and co-founder Dr Srinivas Rao talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s clinical development progress in 2025, highlighting multiple upcoming trial readouts. He discussed new data from Beckley Psytech’s Phase 2a trial of BPL-003, a psychedelic compound being evaluated in patients already taking SSRIs. Rao confirmed the trial showed “very good safety and tolerability and very robust efficacy,” with results from a broader Phase 2b trial expected mid-year. Rao also detailed progress on RL-007, a candidate targeting cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, which is also in Phase 2b. He added that VLS-01 (Illumina study) and EMP-01 for social anxiety disorder will report data early in 2026. EMP-01 is being trialed in a six-week study with two administrations, using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale as the primary endpoint. “We wanted to go after a different indication — there’s really no one focused on social anxiety disorder currently with a psychedelic compound,” Rao said, underlining the novelty of their approach. Rao further noted investor interest in broader industry readouts, including those from Compass, in which atai remains a shareholder.

Excellon Resources CEO Shawn Howarth joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone for the company as it works toward becoming a silver producer once again. Excellon has entered into a non-binding agreement with subsidiaries of Glencore plc, one of the world's largest diversified natural resource companies, to support the restart of the past-producing Mallay Silver Mine, located in Peru. The agreement includes two critical financial instruments: a concentrate offtake agreement and a pre-export finance loan facility. Combined, these will provide Excellon with the key capital required to fund the recommencement of mining operations at Mallay. Specifically, under the offtake component of the deal, Glencore will purchase 100% of the zinc-lead concentrate produced at the Mallay Mine through at least 2028, with the potential to extend to 2029 depending on certain performance and market conditions. Adding to this momentum, Howarth shared that Excellon recently closed an $8 million equity financing round on May 14, bringing its total available capital for the restart project to approximately $18 million. The financing included participation from well-known mining financier Eric Sprott. Sprott now owns approximately 9.5% of Excellon’s outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis, and 12.8% on a partially diluted basis. This funding package will enable Excellon to move forward with the development, refurbishment, and ramp-up of the Mallay Mine, which previously operated from 2010 to 2013. Excellon plans to leverage this capital to restart production swiftly, optimize operational efficiency, and extend mine life through exploration and expansion. With Glencore’s backing, a healthy cash position, and a proven asset ready for revitalization, Excellon is now well positioned to deliver near-term value to shareholders and establish a platform for long-term growth in the Americas-focused silver sector. #proactiveinvestors #excellonresourcesinc #tsx #exn #glencore #mining #peru #ericsprott #MiningNews #SilverMining #Glencore #MallayMine #TSX #ResourceInvestment #MiningUpdate #EricSprott #ExplorationDrilling #PeruMining #Zinc #Lead #KilgoreProject #TresCerros…

Blockmate Ventures Chairman Domenic Carosa joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a major strategic move: the launch of Blockmate Mining, a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to Bitcoin mining. The newly formed entity aims to become a major force in the North American mining sector by executing a scalable, long-term “mine-and-hold” strategy designed to accumulate Bitcoin and maximize value for shareholders. Blockmate Mining has already secured a prime site in Wyoming, USA, strategically located next to a large power substation. This site has the potential to support up to 200 megawatts (MW) of mining infrastructure. The rollout will be phased, beginning with a 10MW deployment within the next 6 to 12 months, scaling to 50MW as funding becomes available, and ultimately targeting full build-out of the 200MW capacity. At full scale, the Wyoming site is estimated to generate approximately 200 Bitcoin per month, depending on global network conditions and mining difficulty. Importantly, the site offers highly competitive power costs—USD 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hour—positioning Blockmate Mining among the lowest-cost producers in North America. The company plans to retain a significant portion of mined Bitcoin on its balance sheet, banking on long-term capital appreciation. To further optimize returns, Blockmate intends to generate an annual yield of 7–15% on its holdings through institutional-grade custody solutions and strategies such as lending or staking, where available and appropriate. To support these ambitions, Blockmate is actively pursuing capital-raising initiatives. These include traditional equity funding, strategic partnerships, and innovative tokenized financing models tied to future Bitcoin production (hashpower). The initial capital raise target is USD $15 million to fund the 10MW launch, followed by $55 million to scale to 50MW. Longer term, the company aims to spin out Blockmate Mining as a publicly listed entity, with NASDAQ as the preferred listing destination—creating a clear path for investor access and broader market visibility. This launch marks a major milestone in Blockmate Ventures’ expansion strategy, reflecting its commitment to driving value through Bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure while maintaining alignment with shareholder interests in the rapidly evolving crypto economy. #Hivello #DePIN #Blockchain #Crypto #PassiveIncome #Web3 #Bitcoin #swarmnetwork #BlockmateVentures #DomenicCarosa #CryptoMining #BitcoinNews #AIInfrastructure #EnergyProjects #WyomingMining #ProactiveInvestors #DigitalAssets…

Sona Nanotech CEO David Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a major development in the company’s preclinical research. Sona has reported positive results from a required safety study evaluating the potential toxicity and tissue distribution of its proprietary gold nanorods. The study, conducted by CBSET, Inc.—a leading FDA Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliant contract research organization—marks a significant step forward in Sona’s pathway toward human clinical trials. The study involved three groups of 20 rats, each administered a different dosage of Sona’s biocompatible gold nanorods through intravenous injection. Researchers assessed safety, tolerability, and organ distribution to determine any adverse effects or toxicity. The results demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Sona’s nanorods showed no evidence of acute or systemic toxicity, and tissue distribution was consistent with established nanoparticle pharmacokinetics. This outcome validates the nanorods’ biocompatibility and supports their use in further therapeutic development. As a GLP-compliant study, the findings meet regulatory standards and will be reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This data is a prerequisite for an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), which is necessary to begin human clinical studies in the United States. Regan emphasized that these results are a critical milestone for the company, confirming the safety of its nanotechnology platform and paving the way for expanded preclinical testing. Sona plans to follow FDA guidance closely as it moves forward with its safety program to support a future IDE application and the launch of human trials. The company’s gold nanorods are being developed for potential use in targeted cancer therapies and other advanced medical applications. With this safety data in hand, Sona is advancing toward broader clinical validation and long-term commercialization. #proactiveinvestors #sonananotechinc #cse #sona #otcqb #snanf #CancerTherapy #GoldNanorods #FDAApproval #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials #Nanomedicine #DrugSafety…

Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone for the company: OPT has been officially recognized as one of the initial certified operators under the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International Trusted UMS Operator Program. This designation places OPT among the first wave of companies acknowledged for meeting stringent standards in the safe and proficient operation of uncrewed maritime systems. Stratmann emphasized that this recognition is not just symbolic but a powerful validation of the company’s commitment to excellence in autonomous maritime operations. The Trusted UMS Operator Program was created by AUVSI in partnership with key industry stakeholders to set a unified benchmark for safety, training, and operational consistency across the rapidly evolving domain of uncrewed systems. The program responds to growing demand from government, defense, and commercial clients for a standardized, transparent framework to evaluate the qualifications of operators who deploy autonomous technologies in complex and sometimes hazardous marine environments. By becoming one of the inaugural certified operators, OPT has aligned itself with a select group of companies that are shaping the future of autonomous maritime solutions. This is especially relevant as demand accelerates for uncrewed systems that support missions such as offshore surveillance, environmental monitoring, maritime domain awareness, and subsea infrastructure inspection. In addition, Stratmann shared with Proactive, the company announced that it has completed its first WAM-V® 22 sea trials for a customer with substantial operations in Sub Saharan Africa. The sea trials were carried out at OPT’s newly permitted test site in Southern New Jersey following site visits and operational reviews by the US Coast Guard. The sea trials, for a major specialized offshore services customer, was able to be completed at the company’s newly permitted test site. This now enables OPT to us to test year-round on either coast, making it easier for customers to receive their products and further decreasing the time from booking to revenue recognition. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #OffshoreAutonomy, #MaritimeSecurity, #CommercialPlatforms, #GrowthStrategy, #BuoyBusiness, #VehicleBusiness, #InternationalExpansion, #ReadyToDeploy #AutonomousVehicles #MaritimeTech #CleanEnergySolutions #AUVSI #SustainableTechnology #MarineInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #UncrewedSystems #GlobalExpansion…

Ciampaglia also discussed how demand from AI and data centres is pushing load growth, which is driving renewed interest in nuclear energy. According to Ciampaglia, uranium spot prices have risen from around $63 to $72 per pound in just six weeks, while uranium miners have jumped approximately 40% in the same period. He attributes part of this momentum to a short squeeze in the market, where investors with bearish positions were forced to buy back shares at higher prices.

Immunic Inc. Chief Scientific Officer Dr Hella Kohlhof talked with Proactive about the company's lead candidate IMU-856 and its potential to transform the treatment landscape for celiac disease. Kohlhof noted that celiac disease remains a chronic autoimmune condition with no approved drug therapies. While public awareness has increased, many misconceptions persist, particularly around gluten sensitivity being a lifestyle choice. According to Kohlhof, “Celiac disease is not just a dietary preference or a sensitivity... it’s really a chronic autoimmune condition.” IMU-856 is being developed to restore intestinal barrier function and improve gut wall architecture—an approach that directly targets the root cause of the disease rather than just its symptoms. In a recent Phase 1/1b trial, Immunic observed improvements in four key disease dimensions: histology, symptoms, biomarkers, and nutrient absorption. The therapy also demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Kohlhof highlighted that many patients still experience symptoms despite following a strict gluten-free diet, especially adults. She emphasized that IMU-856 could offer support for gut healing where dietary interventions fall short. The candidate may also have broader applications in inflammatory bowel conditions and even weight management, as recent data indicated a potential impact on GLP-1 levels.

Poolbeg Pharma CEO Jeremy Skillington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone in the company’s clinical development strategy: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation to POLB 001, Poolbeg’s innovative oral therapy aimed at preventing Cytokine Release Syndrome caused by T-cell engager bispecific antibody immunotherapies. POLB 001, an oral small molecule inhibitor of the IL-1 receptor, is designed to modulate the inflammatory response without suppressing the underlying anti-cancer immune activation. The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation recognizes the potential of POLB 001 to address a rare but serious medical condition, affecting fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States. This designation confers a range of developmental and commercial incentives including seven years of U.S. market exclusivity post-approval, waiver of certain FDA fees, such as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act or PDUFA application fees and others. The company plans to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial in the second half of 2025, marking the next step in evaluating POLB 001’s efficacy and safety in a controlled setting. Poolbeg anticipates completing interim analysis in the first half of 2026, with topline data expected in the second half of 2026.

Cerro De Pasco Resources CEO Guy Goulet joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company’s plan to pursue a secondary listing on the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL). This move is part of the company’s broader strategy to deepen its presence in Latin America, increase visibility among regional investors, and broaden access to local capital markets. While the company will maintain its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, the new BVL listing is expected to enhance liquidity and attract Peruvian and Andean investors, particularly those interested in sustainable mining and environmental remediation. The initiative underlines the company’s strong commitment to Peru, where its flagship project is located. The project involves the reprocessing of silver-rich polymetallic tailings from the historic Cerro de Pasco mine — a significant environmental and economic opportunity in the region. He emphasized the uniqueness of the operation, noting, “We expect to have the largest above ground mineral resource.” With extraction costs as low as $1 per tonne, the company plans to capitalize on the significant leftover mineral content, especially in the Quiulacocha Tailings, which Goulet described as “the richest tailings in the world.” Goulet detailed that the company has completed 40 drill holes and confirmed the mineral profiles largely aligned with expectations, with plans for additional drilling to improve copper recovery. He also outlined ongoing metallurgical testing in Canada, Germany, and Peru as part of its development strategy. Goulet added that the secondary listing will deepen engagement with regional stakeholders and position the company to better capitalize on investor interest in Latin America’s critical mineral and tailings reprocessing sectors. #proactiveinvestors #cerrodepascorespurcesinc #tsxv #cdpr #otcpk #gpprf #GuyGoulet #SilverMining #PeruvianMining #MineralResources #EnvironmentalCleanup #LandEasement #MiningIndustry #SustainableMining #EconomicDevelopment #AcidWaterTreatment #ZincProduction #GreenHydrogen #DrillProgram #ResourceValuation…

374 Water CEO Chris Gannon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s latest business milestones and the growing market impact of its groundbreaking AirSCWO™ (Air-Supercritical Water Oxidation) technology. As environmental regulations tighten and the urgency to address toxic “forever chemicals” like PFAS intensifies, 374Water is emerging as a leader in advanced waste destruction solutions that eliminate hazardous organic contaminants completely. “Our technology eradicates it completely, so it doesn't exist anymore,” Gannon told Proactive, referring to AirSCWO’s unmatched ability to destroy complex contaminants such as long-chain PFAS compounds, which have proven resistant to conventional treatment methods. These persistent chemicals, commonly found in industrial waste and firefighting foams, are linked to serious health and environmental issues, making effective disposal solutions a global priority. Gannon announced that 374Water has secured a contract with the State of North Carolina to process Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) — a PFAS-laden firefighting material that is being phased out nationwide. This agreement marks a significant validation of the company’s proprietary technology and highlights the increasing demand for scalable, reliable destruction methods as regulators crack down on hazardous waste. In addition to the North Carolina contract, Gannon revealed a strategic partnership with a RCRA-permitted TSDF (Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility) operator to establish the company’s first dedicated waste destruction site. This facility will serve as a critical hub for demonstrating AirSCWO’s industrial-scale capabilities and will help accelerate adoption across broader markets. Gannon emphasized that AirSCWO technology is technology-agnostic and modular, making it highly adaptable across a wide range of waste streams — from sludge and biosolids to concentrated industrial liquids. Current deployments are already underway in states like Florida and California, where 374Water is working with local governments and utilities to address critical wastewater treatment challenges. The company’s momentum comes at a pivotal time, as governments around the world impose stricter limits on PFAS and other emerging contaminants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for example, has recently introduced enforceable drinking water standards for several PFAS compounds, creating a surge in demand for reliable treatment solutions. #proactiveinvestors #374waterinc #nasdaq #scwo #wastewater #PFASDestruction #AirSCWO #WasteManagement #EnvironmentalTech #ForeverChemicals #CleanTech #WaterTreatment #EPARegulations #ToxicWasteSolutions…
