Proactive - Interviews for investors

Geomega Resources (TSX-V:GMA) CEO Kiril Mugerman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s bauxite residue technology and its potential global impact. In the interview, Mugerman explained how Geomega is addressing the 200 million tonnes of bauxite residue generated annually, with over 4.5 billion tonnes currently stored globally. He detailed the company's clean technology solution designed to convert this industrial waste into value. "This is a technology for bauxite residues," Mugerman said, describing how the waste, which results from aluminum refining, can be treated instead of being left to accumulate in storage ponds. Mugerman highlighted Geomega’s joint development agreement with Rio Tinto, valued at C$4.5 million, to build a demonstration plant in Saguenay, Quebec. Although the timeline is controlled by Rio Tinto, the goal is to complete the project within approximately two years. The CEO also spoke about presenting bench-scale results in China, which demonstrated over 90% residue volume reduction and successful performance across six different bauxite residue sources. The next step is to scale to a demonstration plant. “A major company gave the green light to do the next scale up, which is exciting,” he noted. Mugerman also emphasized the role of government support in advancing the technology readiness level, helping position Geomega for future commercial agreements.

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s progress on two major fronts: the advancement of its acquisition of Challenger and new developments across key blocks in Namibia’s Orange Basin. Bose reported that the planned acquisition of Challenger has now satisfied several significant conditions, including formal consent from ANCAP—Uruguay’s national hydrocarbon regulator—and confirmation from Chevron indicating no objection to the transaction. With these milestones achieved, the deal now only requires final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. A Court Sanction Hearing, originally delayed following later-than-expected ANCAP approval, has been rescheduled for December 12. On 26 November 2025, Challenger confirmed that the Scheme of Arrangement received strong shareholder backing, with the requisite majorities approving both the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the related Special Resolution at the General Meeting. Pending court sanction, registration of the Court Order, and satisfaction or waiver of remaining conditions outlined in the Scheme Document, the transaction is expected to become effective on 16 December 2025. Bose also provided an important operational update on Blocks 2813A and 2814B in Namibia’s Orange Basin—one of the world’s most closely watched offshore exploration regions. The blocks fall under Petroleum Exploration License 83 (PEL 83), currently operated by a subsidiary of Galp. Sintana maintains an indirect 49% interest in Custos Energy, which itself holds a 10% working interest in PEL 83, giving Sintana an effective 4.9% carried interest. NAMCOR, Namibia’s state energy company, holds an additional 10% working interest. Major structural changes are underway at the asset level. TotalEnergies and Galp have agreed to a transaction that will see TotalEnergies assume operatorship of PEL 83 and secure a 40% participating interest from Galp, which presently owns 80%. As part of the agreement, the parties will initiate a multi-well exploration and appraisal campaign over the next two years, targeting at least three wells aimed at further de-risking the block and defining a potential first development hub within the acreage. The first exploration well under this new program is currently being assessed for potential drilling in 2026—positioning PEL 83 as a key contributor to the growing momentum in the Orange Basin and reinforcing Sintana’s strategic exposure to one of the most prolific emerging petroleum regions globally. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #OilExploration #Namibia #OrangeBasin #EnergySector #PEL83 #RobertBose #GalpEnergia #Chevron #QatarEnergy #EnergyNews #ProactiveInvestors #2025EnergyTrends

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of a new, targeted follow-up drilling campaign at the company’s flagship Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in southern Peru. The program includes approximately 4,000 metres of diamond core drilling and 2,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, marking a significant new phase of exploration aimed at further enhancing the project’s resource potential. Rushton explained that drilling is also set to begin this week at Aftermath Silver’s Challacollo silver-gold project in Region I of northern Chile. At Challacollo, the company plans to complete between 1,000 and 2,000 metres of core drilling as it advances its exploration strategy across multiple high-priority assets. The decision to accelerate drilling activity reflects both favourable market conditions and strong technical confidence in the projects. Rushton noted that with silver prices currently at elevated levels, the company believes now is the optimal time to advance both exploration and resource growth. At Berenguela, the focus of the program will be on following up high copper grades previously encountered on the eastern side of the existing resource. In addition, infill drilling will target areas believed to represent the most likely location for initial future mining operations. Rushton emphasized that the campaign is designed not only to expand and upgrade known mineralization but also to support longer-term development planning by improving geological confidence in critical zones of the deposit. With two active drill programs underway in Peru and Chile, Aftermath Silver is positioning itself to capitalize on strong metals markets while advancing its portfolio of advanced-stage silver projects. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

Delta Gold Technologies PLC (AQSE:DGQ) CEO Michael Jones joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio to discuss more about the company’s innovative approach to quantum computing, underpinned by its nanoscale gold-based technology.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the key takeaways from the firm’s November report on crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), which tracked a 17% drop in crypto assets – closely aligned with a broader 16% market decline. Despite the downturn, Greco noted that outflows from ETPs were minimal, indicating growing maturity and long-term investor confidence in crypto-backed financial products. “This is a strong vehicle to get exposure to the asset class,” Greco said, emphasizing the resilience of the crypto ETP market. He highlighted that Bitcoin ETPs saw only $3 billion in outflows despite a 17.5% price drop, suggesting that investors in these products tend to have a longer investment horizon. Similarly, while Ethereum ETPs recorded their first monthly outflows after seven months of inflows, Greco said that, proportional to market cap, Ethereum has attracted relatively stronger demand than Bitcoin. Regarding altcoin ETPs, Greco pointed to a positive trend driven by recent US ETF approvals for assets like Solana and Dogecoin. He added that the broader range of products could signal the early signs of an "alt season." Looking ahead, Greco believes the launch of over 300 listed crypto ETPs indicates sustained institutional interest heading into 2026.

Optima Health PLC (AIM:OPT) chief executive Jonathan Thomas talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong first half performance, posting 17% revenue growth. Thomas credited both organic expansion and recent M&A activity, including the acquisitions of Cognate Health in Ireland and Care first, as key contributors. “The market backdrop is really good. There's great demand for our services. We're winning new business, and we anticipate to continue to grow,” said Thomas. He outlined how Cognate Health has now been rebranded as Optima Health Ireland, with the company beginning to leverage revenue synergies across jurisdictions. Care first, which complements Optima’s existing EAP and mental health operations, is expected to complete its integration in Q4 of the current financial year. Thomas also discussed the company’s operational transformation programme, which is designed to improve margins and scale effectively as growth continues. This includes clinical enhancements, automating processes, and optimising central support functions. The interview also touched on Optima’s £210 million UK Armed Forces contract, now being mobilised, and £8.3 million of new business either signed or at preferred bidder stage—positioning the company for growth into FY27 and FY28. Looking ahead, Thomas reaffirmed the company’s target of reaching £200 million in revenue and £40 million EBITDA, driven by organic growth, operational efficiency, and further M&A.

MustGrow Biologics Corp Chief Operating Officer Colin Bletsky joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce outstanding performance results for the company’s organic TerraSante™ biofertility product, based on large-scale customer performance data from commercial potato operations in Washington State and Idaho. The results demonstrate meaningful improvements in crop yield, size, and overall quality when TerraSante™ is incorporated into existing grower production programs. Bletsky told Proactive that one Washington State farming customer recorded consistent and substantial improvements in potato yield, tuber size, and crop quality using TerraSante™ at a dose rate of 11 pounds per acre. The performance data was generated on a large commercial potato field, providing a real-world validation of the product’s effectiveness at scale. Based on the improved size, quality, and yield of the crop, the farmer estimated an approximate increase in revenue of US$5,000 per acre, achieved at a product cost of just US$180 per acre for TerraSante™. Additional work completed across potato fields in Idaho has also demonstrated significant agronomic benefits. These trials showed measurable improvements to both soil health and crop vigor when TerraSante™ was applied within growers’ existing production programs, reinforcing the product’s versatility and compatibility with established farming practices. TerraSante™ is a mustard-derived, organic biofertilizer formulated as a soluble, mixable product containing nutritious plant proteins and carbohydrates. These inputs are designed to feed both the soil and beneficial soil microbes, helping to improve soil biology, nutrient availability, and overall plant performance in a sustainable manner. The product is currently registered and approved for sale in six key U.S. agricultural states California, Florida, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. TerraSanteTM is also certified under the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) Listed® program and California’s Organic Input Material (OIM) Program, allowing it to be used in certified organic farming operations. Bletsky noted that the strong commercial performance data further supports MustGrow’s strategy to commercialize sustainable, high-performance biological solutions that deliver both environmental benefits and compelling economic returns for growers. #proactiveinvestors #mustgrowbiologicscorp #tsxv #mgro #otcqb #mgrof #mustardseed #TerraSante #Biofertility #AgricultureTechnology #SustainableFarming #OrganicFarming #CropEnhancement #SoilHealth #AgriBusiness #ProductDistribution #florida #grapefruit #bellpeppers #watermelons #tomatos

Temas Resources CEO Tim Fernback joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the continued advancement of the company’s La Blache Property in Quebec, along with significant progress on its proprietary metallurgical technology initiatives. Fernback outlined Temas’ unique dual-business model, explaining that the company operates both as a metallurgical technology developer and as an advancing critical minerals exploration and development company focused on titanium, vanadium, and iron. Fernback noted that Temas has completed approximately 45,000 metres of drilling at the La Blache Property to date, establishing a substantial geological database for the project. He highlighted that the company has already delivered a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which demonstrates the scale and strength of the asset. The PEA indicates approximately $6.6 billion of in-situ rock value underground with an internal rate of return (IRR) of over 60%, underscoring the project’s robust economic potential. A key component of Temas’ strategy is its proprietary regenerative chloride leach (RCL) platform technology. Fernback explained that the RCL system is designed to extract metals from complex mineralized rock while recycling reagents within a closed-loop process. By reusing key inputs, the technology is engineered to significantly reduce both operating costs and energy consumption compared to conventional processing methods. According to Fernback, the RCL platform can deliver approximately 65% savings versus traditional metallurgical approaches, positioning it as a potentially disruptive solution for the global mining and processing industry. Temas is actively evaluating international licensing and joint venture opportunities for the RCL technology, as the company looks to commercialize the platform beyond its own projects and create an additional revenue stream independent of mining operations. The interview also highlighted the company’s recently completed 2,300-metre drilling program at La Blache, with assay results expected in early 2026. Fernback added that planned work in the coming year includes advancing both the La Blache and Lac Brûlé projects toward feasibility-stage studies, while continuing to strengthen the company’s metallurgical division and expand its technology footprint. Fernback also pointed to the company’s recently completed Australian initial public offering, which successfully raised $11.00 million. He said the financing leaves Temas fully funded for its upcoming work programs, positioning the company to execute on both its project development and technology growth strategies without near-term funding constraints. #proactiveinvestors #temasresourcescorp #asx #tio #cse #tmas #otcqb #tmasf #LaBlacheProject #MiningNews #CriticalMinerals #Titanium #Vanadium #IronOre #MetallurgicalTechnology #RCLTechnology #QuebecMining #ResourceStocks #DrillingUpdate #2026Outlook

Scancell Holdings PLC (AIM:SCLP, OTC:SCNLF) CEO Phillip L’Huillier talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about new clinical data from its phase two melanoma study, known as the SCOPE trial, featuring its lead ImmunoBody candidate, iSCIB1+. L’Huillier highlighted that the trial has achieved the objectives set out for it, confirming the parameters for the company’s upcoming registrational phase three study. The findings now provide clarity on dosing, patient population, and trial design. “Our SCOPE study…has met the objectives that we set out for it,” he said. A key point of the discussion focused on the data, which showed a 74% progression-free survival rate at 16 months for iSCIB1+. This compares to 46% at 12 months for the standard of care, which typically includes dual checkpoint inhibitors Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. L’Huillier noted this as a "really strong and durable benefit" on top of existing treatments. He also addressed how iSCIB1+ performed across patient subgroups where existing therapies are typically less effective—such as BRAF, PD-L1 status, and those with prior checkpoint treatment—with results showing clinically meaningful benefit across all. Scancell now plans to begin its phase three trial in late 2026, having received supportive regulatory feedback. L’Huillier also said the data has materially strengthened the company’s case for partnering and financing opportunities as part of a dual-track strategy to either partner or proceed independently.

Australian Oil Company Limited (ASX:AOK) managing director Kane Marshall talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s diversified strategy across gas and oil markets in both the United States and Australia. Marshall outlined the company's expansion in the Sacramento Basin in California, where it has increased its working interest without a cash outlay. He noted that this consolidation gives the company greater control and positions it well amid rising demand for energy from data centres and critical industries. “We sort of can dictate our own terms, so to speak,” he said, referring to the advantages of consolidation amid recent mergers in the US sector. In Australia, the company has secured a strategic package in Queensland’s Surat Basin, including producing fields, 3D seismic coverage, and nearby pipeline infrastructure. Marshall pointed out that gas prices remain attractive and that the assets are near a refinery selling oil at AU$100 a barrel, making the economics "extremely attractive". Marshall emphasised that both the US and Australian markets are “hungry for gas” and the company is delivering on its stated goals by entering these regions. He said the company remains focused on deploying capital into the highest-impact projects and hinted at upcoming exploration efforts in both jurisdictions. As the company heads into 2026, investors can expect updates on drilling prospects and production increases, particularly in Queensland. Marshall also referenced other active operators in the area and sees further corporate activity as likely. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

Jupiter Asset Management lead investment manager Tarlock Randhawa joined Stephen Gunnion the Proactive studio to discuss the investment case for global smaller companies included in the Jupiter Origin Global Smaller Companies Active UCITS ETF (JOGS) and the approach taken by the Jupiter Origin team. Randhawa outlined the structural advantages of investing in small caps, noting their potential for price appreciation and under-researched nature. "We certainly think that there is a larger opportunity of potential price appreciation in the small-cap space," he said, pointing to the wider universe of opportunities relative to large-cap benchmarks. He explained that small caps offer more potential upside but come with higher stock-specific risks. To mitigate this, the team diversifies across around 200 names per portfolio. Randhawa also highlighted that the team seeks companies with a proven history of wealth creation, strong future profitability expectations, and attractive valuations. The Jupiter Origin strategy is built on a rigorous, evidence-based screening process. Starting with a universe of 5,000 stocks, the team applies a mechanical filter based on metrics they believe will lead to outperformance. The final portfolio has over 90% active share compared to the benchmark. While macroeconomic conditions do not drive the team's decisions, Randhawa acknowledged that the current environment — particularly falling interest rates and valuation gaps between small and large caps — is supportive for smaller companies. Discussing the team’s background, he noted that the core members have worked together for 25 years, with 15 years of experience in global small caps. The team of five maintains a disciplined, collaborative process to reduce behavioural biases and maintain consistency in strategy execution.

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the global potash supply landscape and the company’s continued progress on its flagship potash project in Gabon. Abasov highlighted the strategic importance of potash as a critical input for global food security and underscored the vulnerabilities faced by countries that rely heavily on imports. Abasov noted that the United States currently imports approximately 97% of its potash requirements, with the majority coming from Canada and smaller volumes sourced from Russia and other regions. “If we’re talking about food security and diversifying critical minerals supply chains, then potash specifically is one of the most important things,” he said, emphasizing the geopolitical and economic risks tied to concentrated global supply. He explained that Millennial Potash’s project in Gabon is uniquely positioned along the Atlantic coast, providing significant logistical and economic advantages. The project’s proximity to deep-water port infrastructure allows for efficient export to major agricultural markets, including the United States, Brazil, and across Africa. Abasov added that the project’s low-cost structure and favorable geography place the company in a strong competitive position within the global potash market. Abasov also discussed broader trends impacting the fertilizer industry, including rising global demand and the increasing difficulty of developing large-scale potash projects. He referenced recent budget overruns at major industry developments, including those reported by BHP, as evidence of escalating capital costs across the sector. In contrast, he noted that Millennial Potash’s use of solution mining technology materially reduces both capital intensity and environmental impact compared with conventional underground mining methods. The company has now formally initiated its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), marking a key transition from exploration into the development phase of the project. Abasov confirmed that the ESIA will be conducted in accordance with International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and will serve as a critical component of Millennial Potash’s future mining application. With global fertilizer markets under pressure, supply chains tightening, and food security emerging as a growing strategic priority, Abasov said Millennial Potash is advancing its Gabon project at a time when new, sustainable potash supply is increasingly vital to global agriculture. #proactiveinvestors #millennialpotahscorp #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf #potash #CriticalMinerals #Potash #USGeologicalSurvey #FertilizerIndustry #USDFC #FoodSecurity #ResourceEstimates #MiningNews #GabonProjects #ProactiveInvestors

Zoomcar Holdings Chairman Uri Levine joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss how the company is addressing major mobility challenges across emerging markets with its peer-to-peer car-sharing platform. Levine described Zoomcar as the “Airbnb for cars,” offering flexible transportation solutions in regions where private vehicle ownership remains limited and traditional rental options are often expensive or inaccessible. “In emerging markets, the ratio of vehicles per household could be as low as 0.1,” Levine explained, underscoring the scale of unmet transportation demand. He contrasted this with the United States, where the average household owns more than two vehicles. This stark difference, he noted, creates a powerful opportunity for Zoomcar to bridge the mobility gap by making vehicles accessible on a short-term, on-demand basis. Zoomcar’s business model focuses on unlocking the value of underutilized vehicles—cars that would otherwise sit idle up to 96% of the time—and connecting them with consumers who need convenient, short-term access to transportation. India currently represents Zoomcar’s largest market, where the platform now hosts approximately 40,000 vehicles and serves around 10 million users. Levine emphasized the magnitude of the growth opportunity, stating that the market in India alone has the potential for 100-fold expansion over time. He noted that roughly 91% of trips on the platform are short-term rentals, typically lasting about two days. These rentals are commonly used for everyday needs such as shopping, attending events, or taking quick weekend trips, highlighting Zoomcar’s role as a flexible mobility solution for daily life rather than just long-distance travel. While similar platforms, such as Turo, operate primarily in developed markets, Levine said Zoomcar’s model is especially well-suited to India and other emerging economies because of the high upfront cost of vehicle ownership and limited financing options for consumers. This makes car sharing not just a convenience, but a practical necessity for a growing middle class. Levine also highlighted Zoomcar’s improving financial performance, noting that the company has now achieved eight consecutive quarters of profitability and operates in 99 cities across India. Insurance coverage is structured in line with other global mobility platforms, either through third-party partnerships or self-insurance in larger markets, depending on scale and regulatory requirements. With strong user growth, expanding geographic reach, and sustained profitability, Levine said Zoomcar is well positioned to continue scaling its platform and transforming personal mobility across emerging markets. #proactiveinvestors #zoomcarholdings #otcqb #zcar #EmergingMarkets #MobilitySolutions #IndiaStartups #UriLevine #CarSharing #UrbanMobility #AutoTech #SharedEconomy #ZoomcarIndia #ProactiveInvestors

NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT, OTCQB:NSRCF) President and CEO Hanré Rossouw talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest progress at the Abu Dhabi site for its graphite processing facility. The discussion followed a recent site visit, which included local and international investors and potential financing partners. Rossouw emphasized the advantages of the facility's location in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi, citing expedited permitting, existing infrastructure, and a 60,000m² warehouse already in place. This turns the project from a traditional construction into a faster “installation project,” significantly reducing the development timeline. Key milestones in the coming months include the finalization of engineering design and securing funding. Rossouw noted that visitors were able to see “the 3D modelling already of the equipment being installed,” signalling the advanced stage of preparation. NextSource has already secured a multi-year offtake agreement with Mitsubishi Chemical for 9,000 tonnes of annual production from the facility’s first phase. Discussions are underway to secure the remaining capacity of 5,000 tonnes and potentially increase output in the first phase. The facility is a cornerstone of the company’s vertical integration strategy, with feedstock supplied by its Molo mine and supplemented by third-party sources.

Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s latest drilling results from the Perry claim, highlighting a continued run of strong performance across multiple recent drill holes. Stark described the latest intercept as another significant success, noting both the growth in scale and the evolving geological interpretation of the system. “We’ve got a great, great hit here again, but it’s double the width of 156,” Stark said, explaining that increased rock shattering has allowed gold mineralization to penetrate more broadly through the host rocks. The company has now recorded six consecutive successful drill hits down-dip to a depth of approximately 1,200 feet, maintaining a consistent step-out pattern of about 60 metres between holes. Stark explained that while the grade in hole 157 is slightly lower than the exceptionally high-grade intercept reported in hole 156, the total mineralized interval has doubled in width to an impressive 78 metres. This materially extends the footprint of the mineralized system and strengthens the case for a larger-scale deposit. He added that hole 158 has just been completed and appears to display similar geological and mineralization characteristics. High-grade gold values remain present, with assays reaching up to 13 grams per tonne in both the hanging wall and footwall. The company’s understanding of the geological framework continues to sharpen with each successive drill result. Stark noted that the data reinforces the view that the mineralizing system is “extremely robust,” with strong structural evidence pointing to significant historic geological forces at work. The widths now being encountered are far greater than what is typically seen in the Oatman mining district, prompting comparisons to broader, Nevada-style gold deposits. Confidence continues to build as Arizona Gold and Silver advances its drilling program, with hole 159 already underway to further test the depth and continuity of the expanding mineralized corridor. Stark also highlighted improvements in the company’s financial position. All in-the-money options have been exercised without associated selling pressure, contributing to a strengthening treasury and providing additional flexibility to support ongoing exploration and development activities. #proactiveinvestors #arizonagoldandsilverinc #tsxv #azs #otcqb #azasf #GoldExploration #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningNews #JuniorMining #HeapLeach #Metallurgy #ResourceInvesting #GoldStocks #PreciousMetals #MiningNews #GoldExploration #SilverMining #JuniorMining #ArizonaMining #GoldInvesting #DrillResults #MiningInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors #perryzone #risingfawnzone #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #ArizonaGoldAndSilver #MiningNews #SilvertonProject #GoldExploration #JointVentureOpportunity #NevadaMining #DrillPermit

Middlefield International President and CEO Dean Orrico talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the outlook for the Middlefield Canadian Enhanced Income UCITS ETF as 2026 approaches. The ETF is weighted towards Canadian equities with a focus on energy, financials, and real estate — sectors Orrico believes offer discounted valuations and strong earnings potential. Orrico explained that Canadian stocks trade at a significant discount to the S&P 500, while still delivering consistent earnings and dividend growth. “Our portfolio, including those four sectors, has generated average dividend growth of about 7 to 8%,” he said, and expects this trend to continue into 2026. On energy, Orrico highlighted recent federal policy shifts supporting Canadian energy infrastructure, including a new pipeline and LNG facility, as well as investment in carbon capture technologies. These initiatives, he said, aim to position Canada as an “energy superpower.” He also underscored the strength and stability of Canadian banks, noting they haven’t cut dividends since World War II. Real estate, particularly open-air retail, seniors housing, and industrial assets, was also highlighted as offering solid fundamentals due to constrained supply and strong population-driven demand.

Poolbeg Pharma PLC (AIM:POLB, OTC:POLBF) CEO Jeremy Skillington and Principal Scientist Liam Tremble talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s involvement in the RISE research programme focused on cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in cancer immunotherapy. The University of Manchester and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust research programme titled RISE —short for Reducing Immune Stress from Excessive cytokine release from advanced therapies—is led by Dr Jonathan Lim and has received a £3.4 million grant from the UK’s Medical Research Council. Skillington explained that Poolbeg Pharma will act as the lead business partner alongside Johnson & Johnson, and other partners. Poolbeg's previously announced upcoming TOPICAL trial examining its lead candidate POLB 001 will play a central role in the programme. Importantly, Johnson & Johnson will provide the approved bispecific antibody, teclistamab, for that trial. “We’re very proud that POLB 001 has actually played a really key part to this,” Skillington said. Tremble noted the growing clinical challenge posed by CRS in advanced immunotherapies and how POLB 001 may offer a solution. “This really puts POLB 001 in a centrepoint position in cytokine release syndrome as a potential solution,” he said. The company confirmed the initiative will not impact its cash runway into 2027, nor will it impact delivery of the TOPICAL trial, with interim data expected in summer 2026.

Iofina PLC (AIM:IOF, OTC:IOFNF) CEO Dr Tom Becker talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s newly announced IOsorb plant, set to be constructed in partnership with Western Midstream Partners in the Permian Basin. The plant will be Iofina’s largest to date, with the ability to process up to 50,000 barrels of brine water per day. It is expected to come online in Q3 of 2026, contributing to a significant increase in iodine production and revenue the following year. “This plant, we expect to be online in the third quarter of next year,” said Becker, noting that 2026 revenues and iodine volumes would be “significantly higher than the previous year” due to contributions from both the new plant and IO#11. He also discussed the company’s partnership with Western Midstream, which brings strong technical capabilities in water handling and reuse. Western manages over 2.5 million barrels of water daily, and the collaboration opens the door to further expansion in the Permian Basin and beyond. The new plant is expected to cost between $8 to $9 million, with the company confident in both timeline and budget. Becker confirmed that most materials have already been sourced, and lead times are favourable. Becker added that existing Iofina plants continue to deliver strong performance, with record production months in Q3 and an expected 400 to 440 metric tons of crystalline iodine output in H2 2025.

Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive about the latest developments shaping the Tech Megatrend ETF and the powerful forces driving performance across some of the world’s fastest-moving technology sectors. Ginsberg outlined how the fund continues to evolve in step with emerging innovation while benefiting from broad macroeconomic tailwinds. Ginsberg explained that the ETF has recently expanded its thematic coverage to include both defense technology and quantum computing, further diversifying its exposure to high-growth innovation areas. These additions complement the fund’s established themes, which include cloud computing, digital entertainment, blockchain, and social media. He highlighted blockchain as a standout performer, noting that the segment has risen more than 50%. “Blockchain… has been up over 50%,” Ginsberg said, adding that strong contributions from digital entertainment and cloud computing have also supported overall performance. He also pointed to growing strength in genomics and gene editing, emphasizing how artificial intelligence is transforming research and development activity across biotechnology. Ginsberg explained that AI is dramatically accelerating drug discovery and development timelines, allowing technologies such as CRISPR gene editing to advance far more rapidly than traditional pharmaceutical approaches. This convergence of AI and biotech, he noted, is creating a powerful new growth engine within the broader tech ecosystem. Beyond sector-specific trends, Ginsberg discussed several macro factors providing tailwinds for the technology market. These include easing inflation, the expectation of interest rate cuts, a weaker U.S. dollar, and a pickup in mergers and acquisitions as regulatory conditions shift. He cited Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Brothers as an example of the ongoing global convergence across digital media and content platforms, a trend he believes is still in its early stages. He also noted that valuations in small- and mid-cap technology companies remain attractive relative to long-term growth potential. Looking ahead to 2026, Ginsberg sees continued expansion of artificial intelligence across multiple verticals, including cloud computing, cybersecurity, hyperscalers, and digital entertainment. He added that surging demand for data-center infrastructure is providing strong underlying support for this growth, reinforcing the long-term investment case for the technology megatrend. #TechMegatrendETF, #AnthonyGinsberg, #FourthIndustrialRevolution, #AI, #Cybersecurity, #CloudComputing, #SocialMedia, #FutureCars, #Robotics, #InterestRateCuts, #Diversification, #GlobalHoldings, #Nasdaq,

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to release an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its Berenguela project in southern Peru, confirming and significantly expanding upon its previous 2023 Mineral Resources. The new estimate is based on the most comprehensive geological model of the Berenguela deposit compiled to date, materially enhancing the overall understanding of the scale, structure, and metal distribution of the deposit. Notably, approximately 90% of the company’s recent 2024/2025 drilling program was conducted within the boundaries of the historic resource, allowing for meaningful resource upgrades rather than purely exploratory growth. The recent infill drilling campaign successfully converted a substantial portion of the resource from the Inferred category to the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated (M&I) category. As a result, combined M&I resources increased by 11.37 million tonnes, or 28.3%, bringing the total to 51.55 million tonnes. This upgrade materially strengthens the project’s development profile by reducing geological risk and improving the reliability of future mine planning and economic studies. Contained metal within the M&I category has also increased significantly compared with the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate. Silver resources rose by 21.3 million ounces, a 21% increase, bringing total M&I silver to 122.5 million ounces, with an additional 22.0 million ounces remaining in the Inferred category. Manganese M&I resources increased to 2.93 million tonnes, with a further 0.47 million tonnes classified as Inferred. Copper M&I resources climbed to 717.1 million pounds, supported by 118.4 million pounds of Inferred copper, while zinc M&I resources reached 372.4 million pounds, along with 80 million pounds in the Inferred category. The upgrade from Inferred to M&I resulted in a corresponding decrease of 7.96 million tonnes in the total Inferred resource inventory, reflecting the improved confidence in the geological model and data density across the deposit. The updated MRE is underpinned by a robust geological database that incorporates results from 439 drill holes. This includes 82 diamond drill holes totaling 5,329 metres completed by Aftermath during the 2024/2025 drilling campaign. In total, 44,842 metres of drilling have now been completed at Berenguela, comprising 20,346 metres of diamond drilling and 24,496 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. The previous resource estimate, documented in the NI 43-101 technical report titled “Berenguela Mineral Resource Estimate NI 43-101 Aftermath Silver Ltd., Province of Lampa, Department of Puno, Peru,” was prepared by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. and carried an effective date of March 30, 2023. The new estimate builds directly on this foundation with significantly higher data density and geological confidence. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing
