Iofina reports record year as CEO discusses results with Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:01:41 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Dr Tom Becker, President & CEO, Iofina, in the wake of the specialists in the exploration and production of iodine and manufacturers of speciality chemical products, announcing its audited full-year results for the 12 months to 31 December 2025. This included another record year: Production up 17%, Revenue up 22% and Adjusted EBITDA up 56%.

Iofina has been quietly doing the hard yards for years, and the market is now starting to pay attention.

Following its audited full-year 2025 results, the specialist iodine producer and chemical products business reported another record year, with production up 17%, revenue up 22% and adjusted EBITDA up 56%. That is the headline. The more interesting story sits underneath it: a company that has executed a very specific growth plan, built capacity at pace, and is now looking to accelerate again.

At the centre of that story is a simple idea. Iofina operates in a niche market, but one with critical end uses, steady demand, and room for disciplined expansion. For a business still valued at under £100 million, that combination is understandably beginning to attract attention.

Iodine is niche, but it matters more than most people realise

Iodine is not a commodity that gets discussed every day, yet it plays an essential role in a surprisingly wide range of industries. The global market is relatively small at around 40,000 metric tonnes, but demand is underpinned by applications that are difficult to replace.

The single biggest end market is human healthcare. In particular, iodine is heavily used in x-ray contrast media drugs. These are the agents used in CT scans and certain x-ray procedures when doctors need clearer imaging. That application alone accounts for roughly 38% of the market.

Beyond that, iodine shows up in many places people barely think about:

Disinfectants, including the familiar brown antiseptic used on cuts and before surgery
LCD screens, where iodine-based polarising film is used
Nutrition, because iodine is needed in the diet to support thyroid function
Pharmaceuticals and biocides, where it serves a range of specialised purposes

So while iodine may be a niche market, it is tied to healthcare, technology and industrial applications that give it resilience. That is a useful backdrop for any producer looking to grow production over time.

How Iofina produces iodine

Iofina’s model is one of the more interesting parts of the business. Rather than mining iodine in the traditional sense, the company extracts it from briny water produced by the oil and gas industry.

This water is effectively a co-product, or waste stream, from oil and gas operations. In the right areas, it contains iodine in concentrations that can be extracted economically. Iofina builds plants to process that brine and recover the iodine.

At present, the company has eight iodine plants in operation, all located in Oklahoma. A ninth plant is under construction in the Permian Basin, spanning southwest Texas and southeast New Mexico, which is one of the most significant oil and gas regions in the world.

That approach gives the company a clear link between operational execution and growth. If it can continue identifying suitable brine streams and building plants at an attractive return, production can keep climbing.

From 500 metric tonnes to 1,000 metric tonnes

Over the last four to five years, Iofina has roughly doubled its production profile.

The business was producing about 500 metric tonnes several years ago. Once the Permian plant comes online, management expects that to rise to around 1,000 metric tonnes.

That is not a theoretical target. It has come from a concrete build-out programme:

Three plants built in three years
A fourth, larger plant making it effectively four plants in four years
A balance sheet that has remained in sound shape while growth has been funded by reinvesting profitability back into the business

This matters because scaling production is often where smaller resource and speciality chemical companies stumble. Capital can become stretched, timelines can slip, and growth stories can get ahead of operating reality. What stands out here is that management’s strategy has been rooted in repeatable execution.

As Dr Tom Becker put it, the company has had a specific goal of increasing iodine production in a market that continues to grow, and the team has delivered against that plan.

The next goal: 2,000 metric tonnes in the next few years

Reaching 1,000 metric tonnes is not being treated as the finish line. It is being treated as the foundation for the next stage.

The vision now is to move towards 2,000 metric tonnes over the next few years. To get there, Iofina is looking to increase the pace of plant development. In other words, not just building one plant a year, but building more frequently where the economics support it.

The Permian Basin project is a good illustration of that next phase. It is expected to produce around 200 metric tonnes once fully online, making it a larger opportunity than some of the company’s previous builds.

If the company can continue replicating that model, its standing within the global iodine market changes meaningfully.

Why scale matters in the global iodine market

At current levels, Iofina accounts for about 2.5% of global iodine production. Management sees a realistic path towards roughly 5% over the next number of years.

That may not sound dramatic at first glance, but in a market of this size and specialisation, it is significant. Moving from a 2.5% player to something closer to 5% changes how the company is perceived by customers, suppliers and the wider market.

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 05 May 2026 13:53:57 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, in the wake of recent significant news for the natural resources investment company. This includes the announcement that it has agreed to invest a total of £200,000 in Reveille Resources Limited, a European-focused investment company, intending to list on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market. The investment will result in Ajax becoming a majority shareholder in Reveille.

Ippolito Ingo Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer of Ajax, commented:

"We are delighted to become a major shareholder in Reveille at a formative stage in its development. The company's focus on undervalued historical mineral deposits aligns with our investment strategy, where prior exploration and infrastructure provide a strong foundation for value creation.

The Lombardy Project, comprising the Novazza and Val Vedello uranium deposits, represents a compelling opportunity. These assets were the subject of extensive historical exploration, including approximately 80,000 metres of drilling, yet have not been evaluated to modern standards, offering clear potential for re-assessment and advancement.

This investment is an extension of our strategy into Europe, where we see a broad pipeline of opportunities across past-producing mines with significant exploration and development potential.

The evolving European energy landscape, shaped by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and the accelerating drive toward decarbonisation, has reinforced the importance of secure, domestically sourced energy. Energy autonomy is becoming an increasingly critical priority for European countries, and in this context nuclear power, and by extension uranium, is regaining strategic relevance. This is reflected in Italy, where the Government under Giorgia Meloni has signalled renewed support for nuclear energy. Against this backdrop, uranium market fundamentals and pricing have remained positive.

Reveille is expected to be one of the only UK-listed, European-focused uranium exploration companies, offering investors a differentiated opportunity to gain exposure to this strategically important sector.

We believe Reveille is well positioned to capitalise on these supportive macroeconomic and policy trends, and we look forward to supporting the company as it progresses towards its planned admission to the Aquis Growth Market and advances the Lombardy Project."

Powerhouse Energy CEO talks strategy and recent developments

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:29:09 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Paul Emmitt, CEO Powerhouse Energy (AIM: PHE), as the company pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy, announced an operational update in the wake of the recent oversubscribed retail offer of £400,000 and £260,000 battery developer contract.

Powerhouse Energy looks to be moving into a more commercial phase, and the most interesting part of that shift is not just about technology. It is about timing, market need and where demand is now coming from.

For a long time, the story around the company was heavily tied to hydrogen and the broader net zero narrative. That is still part of the picture, especially in certain projects. But the market has evolved. The stronger angle now is decarbonisation paired with energy security, and that combination is opening doors that were not as wide open even six or twelve months ago.

That is the backdrop to the latest operational progress, which follows an oversubscribed retail offer and a third-party battery developer contract worth £260,000. The bigger message is that Powerhouse is trying to prove that it is more than an early-stage technology story. It wants to show it has real engineering capability, growing commercial traction and a product that fits a changing global energy market.

A step closer to commerciality

One of the clearest signs of progress is the introduction of third-party work into the business. This matters because it is not simply work flowing through a historic channel or linked to an internal arrangement. It is direct business for Powerhouse itself.

That may sound like a small distinction, but strategically it is important. It demonstrates that the expertise inside the company has value beyond the core waste-to-energy technology alone. In effect, the business is beginning to validate its broader engineering and technical competence in the market.

That matters for two reasons:

It helps bring the company forward faster by generating commercial activity now.
It reinforces the core competency that will ultimately help sell the technology at scale.

The company is also pushing this momentum through newer marketing activity and sales agreements in multiple regions. The effort is no longer limited to one or two flagship opportunities. It is becoming a wider commercial campaign.

Why the market is changing in Powerhouse Energy’s favour

The most striking theme is the shift in customer motivation.

Historically, many conversations in clean technology revolved around net zero targets, emissions reduction and environmental policy. Those issues still matter, but they are now being joined, and in some cases overtaken, by a more immediate concern: security of supply.

Across the world, energy markets have become more volatile. Geopolitical disruption in the Middle East, the continuing effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and broader fossil fuel price instability have made businesses and governments think much harder about resilience.

That is where Powerhouse sees its opportunity.

If a region or business produces waste and depends on imported fossil fuels, especially diesel, then converting that waste into low carbon energy becomes about more than sustainability. It becomes a practical route to greater independence and better control over energy costs.

That is a far more urgent conversation.

The appeal of using local waste for local energy

The company’s proposition is straightforward in principle:

many regions already have a waste stream
many of those same regions are exposed to expensive or insecure fuel imports
turning local non-recyclable waste into energy can reduce that dependence

That message appears to be resonating particularly strongly in island markets and remote locations.

Places that rely heavily on diesel generation have been hit hard by rising fuel costs. Yet they also generate waste that needs dealing with. For those markets, a waste-to-energy solution addresses two problems at once:

waste management
energy security

This is one reason why recent commercial agreements matter. The company has signed sales arrangements with Green Gecko, with HUI for Central Europe, and another covering the Caribbean islands. These are not random geographies. They line up with exactly the kind of market conditions the company believes now favour its technology.

Hydrogen still matters, but it is no longer the whole story

Powerhouse was originally built around a strong hydrogen focus, and that remains relevant in specific projects. The best example is Ballymena, which is expected to be the company’s flagship hydrogen development.

The Ballymena project is progressing through planning, and while the pace is not as fast as management would like, the direction appears positive.

There are a few notable points here:

the planning process is advancing through the council system
community feedback has not presented major issues
the main comments received appear to relate to matters that could likely have been addressed before submission rather than fundamental opposition
the next key step is receiving the Environment Agency response to the planning application

Once that is in place, the company intends to apply for a permit.

That permitting stage may not be quick. The project could require the first permit of its kind in Northern Ireland, which means there may be some education needed along the way. That is often the reality for businesses pioneering a newer category of infrastructure. It is not necessarily a red flag, but it does add friction and time.

Still, Ballymena remains important because it would give the market a visible hydrogen-led reference project. In a company like this, proving the first flagship matters enormously.

Australia could be the real game changer

If Ballymena is the hydrogen flagship, Australia may be the bigger commercial catalyst.

Progress there appears encouraging. The company has applied for government funding to support part of the early-stage project work, and it has brought National Waste to Energy into discussions with Green Gecko. The confidence expressed around early funding suggests management sees a realistic path to moving the project forward.

The key phrase here is FID, or final investment decision.

If an Australian project reaches FID, that would be a major milestone. It would represent a meaningful step from concept and development into a much more tangible commercial phase. That is why management is putting real emphasis on it.

For early-stage energy and clean technology businesses, getting a project to FID can change the market’s perception of risk. It suggests that technical, financial and practical hurdles are being cleared. In that context, the Australian opportunity stands out as one of the most significant pieces of the current pipeline.

Winterflood Securities, Liquidity, Retail Fundraising & the London Market Outlook

Share Talk LTD — Sun, 03 May 2026 09:05:50 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Andrew Stancliffe, Head of Execution Services at Winterflood Securities, after the recent Marex takeover. They discuss the success of the Winterflood Retail Access Platform, which has now raised over £600m in fundraising and, in turn, has been a significant source of liquidity to the London stock market.

Winterflood is one of those names that anyone active in UK equities will recognise from Level 2 screens, placings, and day-to-day market-making. But beyond the familiar name sits a bigger story about liquidity in small caps, how retail investors are gaining better access to fundraises, and why the UK market may be in better shape than its critics like to admit.

Andrew Stancliffe, Head of Execution Services at Winterflood Securities, sits right in the middle of that story. His role covers the sales trading side of the business, working with clients ranging from institutions to retail execution brokers. Following Winterflood’s acquisition by Marex, there is also a clear focus on combining Winterflood’s market presence with Marex Financial's broader capabilities.

The result is a useful window into where UK market structure is working well, where the frustrations really lie, and why technology is changing access without removing the need for human judgement.

What Winterflood actually does in the market

At a practical level, Winterflood sits at the heart of execution and liquidity provision in UK equities. It is a major market maker, particularly visible in smaller quoted companies, and plays an important role in helping buyers and sellers meet in names that might otherwise feel difficult to trade.

Stancliffe’s remit is focused on execution services and sales trading, speaking to a broad spread of clients and helping ensure they get the best possible access to liquidity and trading opportunities.

That matters because in the UK small cap market, liquidity is always the first complaint. If a share is not moving, or if trading looks thin, the market itself is usually blamed. Stancliffe’s view is more nuanced.

Is there really a liquidity problem in UK small caps?

Liquidity in smaller companies is one of those subjects that never seems to go away. It is a bit like the weather: people are rarely satisfied.

Stancliffe’s argument is that the UK actually has one of the most vibrant and competitive small company trading environments around, especially because of the market-making infrastructure already in place. On many stocks there can be a large number of competing market makers, sometimes as many as 16, all quoting prices on screen.

That creates depth which is easy to overlook.

Where the challenge has become more noticeable is not necessarily in the mechanics of trading, but in the reduced participation from institutions in the smaller end of the market. Fewer institutional houses active in UK small caps naturally changes the shape of liquidity. Even so, his broader point is straightforward: if a company has a compelling story and the market cares, liquidity can appear very quickly and in significant size.

That is an important distinction. Illiquidity is not always a market structure problem. Sometimes it is a company problem.

Good companies tend to find liquidity

One of the more refreshing parts of the discussion was the blunt acknowledgement that some shares are inactive simply because they are not interesting enough. Markets rotate. Sectors and themes move in and out of favour. Individual names can go from dormant to heavily traded once the story improves.

Stancliffe used IQE as a good example. It had traded below 10p and later moved as high as 60p to 70p, accompanied by a significant jump in volume. Before that rally, liquidity may well have looked challenged. Once the market’s attention returned, so did trading activity.

The lesson is simple:

Liquidity can be patchy at any given moment
Interesting companies tend to attract liquidity over time
Strong performance often solves the liquidity complaint very quickly

That is also why recent winners in the London market, including selected small caps and Aquis-listed names, have managed to generate meaningful trading interest when the underlying story has been right.

Where humans still matter in an AI-driven market

Electronic trading, automation and AI are now standard talking points across every part of financial markets. Execution services are no exception.

Stancliffe is clearly in the camp that sees AI as a positive tool rather than a threat. His description of it as a “modern day calculator” is a good one. It captures the practical reality that AI can improve workflows, increase efficiency and help traders focus on higher-value activity, rather than replacing the core human role altogether.

In execution businesses, that means automation can be used to handle smaller trades or more routine processes, while traders spend more time on larger opportunities and more complex client needs.

But the key point is that relationships still matter. Markets are built on trust, communication and judgement. Those things do not disappear because technology gets better.

AI may improve efficiency and service quality, but relationship building still requires human interaction, not an AI-generated email.

That is probably the right balance. Technology helps scale the service. Human input still drives the important conversations.

The UK government, the City and the investment culture gap with the US

There has been a lot of discussion in recent years about whether governments of all colours truly understand the City, and whether policy is helping or hurting UK capital markets.

Stancliffe’s take is relatively measured. He believes the current government, like its predecessors, wants to promote growth and investment. The frustration comes when policy changes create unintended consequences that weigh on the very part of the market they are trying to support.

Tax changes and the treatment of AIM companies were cited as examples of where the outcome can end up being a net negative, even if the wider objective is understandable.

He also highlighted a broader cultural issue. In the US, the media and the wider market ecosystem tend to celebrate investment and champion corporate success. In the UK, there is often more focus on what is going wrong.

That matters because sentiment shapes participation. If the national tone around equities is too negative, it becomes harder to attract new investors, support IPOs and build confidence around domestic capital formation.

Reasons for optimism on UK equities

Despite the noise, Stancliffe remains optimistic about the UK market. His case rests on a few clear pillars:

The UK has outstanding companies already listed
There are strong private businesses that may yet come to market for growth capital
The UK still has world-class universities and talent
The market has delivered better performance than many people give it credit for

One striking example was Rolls-Royce. While much of the media attention remained glued to US technology winners, one of the best-performing major stocks last year was listed in London, not New York.

That is a useful reminder that opportunities in UK-listed businesses do exist, even if they are often under-marketed compared with the US giants.

The Winterflood Retail Access Platform and why it matters

If there is one area where Winterflood has made a particularly visible contribution in recent years, it is through RAP, the Winterflood Retail Access Platform.

Stancliffe is understandably proud of what has been built. In just over three years, RAP has helped raise around £600 million across roughly 130 transactions, spanning listed companies and fixed income deals.

That is more than just a nice growth statistic. It represents a meaningful shift in how retail investors can participate in capital raises that were historically difficult to access.

Why retail investors used to miss out

Placings in UK-listed companies are often fast, especially accelerated fundraises that can be completed within hours or over a day or two. Historically, that speed worked in favour of institutions and left retail investors excluded, even where they were already shareholders.

The issue was not necessarily intent. It was logistics.

Retail channels were simply too slow and too fragmented to participate efficiently in many of these situations.

How RAP improves access

RAP is designed to digitise the process and help retail shareholders take part in what Stancliffe referred to as soft pre-emption. In simple terms, it gives existing retail investors a better opportunity to maintain exposure when a listed company raises money.

The platform works by sending transaction information out efficiently through major retail investment platforms, including names such as:

Hargreaves Lansdown
AJ Bell
Interactive Investor

That creates a much more seamless route for eligible investors to be represented in placings that might otherwise pass them by.

It is also a genuine step forward for market fairness. Existing shareholders should not be left out purely because the process moves quickly.

How to register interest in RAP

Winterflood now offers a notification service for new transactions. Those interested can register via winterflood.com under the Retail Access Platform section using an email address for alerts.

That is a clear upgrade from the old model where access often depended on whether a broker happened to make contact in time.

Are there minimum investment sizes?

In some cases, yes. There can be minimum participation levels, although Stancliffe indicated these are often relatively modest, around £250. The exact minimum depends on the individual transaction rather than being fixed across the board.

So while not every deal will look identical, the general principle is that access thresholds are usually small enough to be realistic for many retail participants.

Why volatility can be good for trading firms

Markets had been dealing with heightened geopolitical tension, including conflict involving Iran and wider instability in the Middle East. In that sort of environment, equity prices can swing sharply and sentiment can turn quickly.

For market makers and execution businesses, volatility is not automatically a bad thing. In fact, from a trading perspective, it can be beneficial.

Stancliffe explained the mechanics clearly. During periods of elevated volatility:

Trading volumes often increase
Bid-offer spreads tend to widen slightly
That combination can improve trading economics for the business

So yes, a moving market is generally more helpful than one drifting sideways with little activity.

That said, he was careful not to confuse commercial benefit with enthusiasm for instability. The geopolitical backdrop itself is clearly unhealthy. The point is simply that markets are dynamic and adapt quickly.

Markets are more resilient than headlines suggest

One of the more notable observations was how resilient equities have remained despite serious geopolitical concerns. US markets have continued to push towards all-time highs, the FTSE 100 has remained close to its own high levels, and smaller companies further down the market cap scale have also rallied strongly in places.

That resilience reflects a long-standing truth about investing: markets often climb a wall of worry.

Conflict, elections, policy shocks and macro uncertainty are all part of the landscape. The existence of risk does not stop opportunities from emerging.

The practical takeaway for investors

Perhaps the most useful closing point was also the most grounded one. In uncertain conditions, the answer is not to disengage. It is to stay close to your portfolio, keep reviewing the opportunities in front of you, and reassess positions in light of the environment you are actually in.

That applies whether the uncertainty comes from war, politics, taxes or market rotation.

The underlying message from Winterflood’s perspective is constructive:

The UK market still has real liquidity, especially when the story is compelling
Technology is making access better, particularly for retail investors in fundraises
Human judgement still matters in execution
The UK has more investable quality than the prevailing narrative often suggests
Volatility creates risk, but it also creates opportunity

For anyone involved in UK equities, that is probably the right lens through which to read the current market. There are frustrations, certainly. There are policy missteps, no doubt. But there is also infrastructure, innovation, and a continuing flow of opportunity for those prepared to stay engaged.

EnSilica PLC CEO Ian Lankshear speaks to Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:18:12 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ian Lankshear, CEO of EnSilica, about the leading fabless microchipmaker, which has announced that it has entered into two landmark development contracts with a leading European satellite operator to develop two chips for its next-generation satellite network.

EnSilica has been a listed company for 4 years, and after a period of steady groundwork, the business now appears to be entering a far more commercially significant phase. The key reason is simple: space communications is no longer a futuristic sideshow. It is becoming strategic infrastructure, and specialist chip design sits right at its heart.

That shift was underscored by EnSilica’s recent announcement that it has secured two landmark development contracts with a leading European satellite operator. The work covers two chips for a next-generation satellite network: one for the satellite's payload and one for the user terminal on the ground.

For a fabless semiconductor company, that is not just another contract win. It is the kind of milestone that can validate years of technical investment and establish a company as a serious supplier into a rapidly expanding global market.

Why 2026 could be a turning point for EnSilica

After four years on the market, EnSilica is now seeing several strands come together at once. The company has spent years building capability in semiconductor design, particularly in communications and high-performance, low-power applications. What is changing now is that the market is finally demanding exactly the kind of technology it has been developing.

The standout development is in the space sector. EnSilica has previously announced smaller wins, feasibility studies and early-stage projects, including work with AST SpaceMobile. But this latest contract with a European satellite operator looks more substantial. It signals that EnSilica is no longer simply participating in the sector. It is beginning to establish itself as a meaningful supplier within it.

The commercial logic is compelling. Satellite systems need chips that are:

Extremely low power
Very high performance
Cost-efficient for large-scale deployment
Suitable for both space payloads and ground terminals

Those requirements are technically demanding, which is precisely why they can create attractive opportunities for specialist chip designers with the right expertise and intellectual property.

Zak Mir talks to Dr Jim Millen, Non-Executive Chairman, Physiomics PLC

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:52:26 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Dr Jim Millen, Non-Executive Chairman, Physiomics, regarding recent progress at the mathematical modelling, data science and biostatistics company, and issues regarding the forthcoming requisitioned meeting.

What Physiomics actually does

Physiomics is a specialised life sciences consultancy that works with companies developing new drugs. At its core, the business helps drug developers make better decisions about how they design and run studies.

The company operates across two main areas.

Mathematical modelling to support the design of preclinical and clinical trials, with a particular focus on oncology, though not limited to cancer treatment.
Biostatistics, covering the statistical design of trials, reporting, planning, and regulatory interactions around trial outcomes.

That combination matters. Drug development is expensive, time-consuming and high risk. The more rigorously a company can model likely outcomes and build trials correctly from a statistical standpoint, the better its chances of generating meaningful data and navigating the regulatory process successfully.

In simple terms, Physiomics is there to help clients ask the right questions before they spend serious money answering them.

Why mathematical modelling and biostatistics matter in drug development

It is worth pausing on this, because companies like Physiomics can easily be misunderstood as niche technical advisers operating in the background.

In reality, their work sits close to the heart of pharmaceutical decision-making. A poorly designed trial can waste years. A weak statistical framework can undermine otherwise promising results. And if preclinical and clinical plans are not thought through properly, the cost of fixing mistakes later can be enormous.

That is why the company’s two-pronged offering is significant:

Modelling helps shape trial design and strategy
Biostatistics helps ensure studies are set up, analysed and reported in a way regulators and stakeholders can rely on

For drug developers, especially in challenging therapeutic areas such as oncology, that expertise can be highly valuable.

Signs the business is turning a corner

One of the most important points to emerge recently is that Physiomics appears to be at a positive inflection point.

The company has reported its highest-ever first-half income, up by around 50% on the comparable prior period. Market expectations are also for the business to deliver its highest-ever full-year income, and management has indicated that it believes the company remains on track to achieve that.

That is not a trivial development. In a market where many life sciences businesses have struggled for funding and momentum, a services company tied to that ecosystem inevitably feels the pressure too.

The logic is straightforward:

Physiomics serves companies developing drugs
If those companies are short of capital, they become more cautious about spending
That pressure filters through to specialist service providers

By that measure, the last few years have not been easy. Management has been candid in saying that the wider life sciences market, especially over the past five years, has created a difficult backdrop. So when stronger income figures start to come through, that is naturally seen as evidence that the business may be emerging from a tougher period.

The phrase used was that the company feels like it is "turning a corner", and the recent numbers are being presented as proof of that shift.

The wider market backdrop for life sciences consultancies

To understand why recent progress matters, it helps to appreciate the commercial reality of a business like Physiomics.

This is not a company that develops and sells its own blockbuster drug. It provides highly specialised consultancy services to clients who are themselves trying to advance drug programmes. That means demand for Physiomics' expertise is linked to confidence, budgets and capital availability across the biotech and pharma landscape.

When funding conditions tighten, even capable drug developers may delay projects, reduce outsourced work or scale back trial activity. That can hit revenue visibility for service businesses, regardless of the quality of the service provided.

Against that backdrop, a strong first-half performance and confidence in a record year carry added significance. They suggest not just resilience, but possible operational momentum.

The share price has improved too, but that is not the whole story

Alongside the operational improvement, Physiomics' share price has also seen a notable rebound, rising by around 66% year to date at the time of discussion.

In ordinary circumstances, that would probably be taken as a clear signal that sentiment around the company is improving. But the picture is complicated by corporate governance developments, namely a requisition notice from activist shareholder Mike Whitlow.

That requisition has created a situation where improving business performance is happening at the same time as a challenge to the current board.

So while there may be genuine momentum in the underlying business, there is also uncertainty about who should be steering it.

What the requisition notice means

The requisition notice would, if passed, replace the current board with a new board.

Management’s position is clear: it does not believe that outcome would be in the best interests of the company.

The immediate practical consequence is that shareholders have been asked to vote at a general meeting. The chairman’s strongest message on this point is simple and democratic: shareholders should vote.

Whatever position an investor takes, the emphasis is on participation. This is being framed not as a routine procedural matter, but as a genuinely consequential decision about the company’s future direction and governance.

That is an important distinction. Boardroom disputes can sometimes appear remote or technical. Here, the argument is that the vote could materially affect how the company is run at a delicate stage in its development.

Why management says this is the wrong time to “rock the boat”

The timing is at the centre of the board’s response.

The current leadership’s view is that this challenge is arriving just as the company is beginning to show evidence of a turnaround. In other words, if the business is finally moving towards stronger revenue and a better trajectory, this may be precisely the wrong moment to disrupt leadership and strategy.

That argument rests on a few connected ideas:

The company appears to be improving operationally
Recent results suggest traction rather than stagnation
Change at board level introduces uncertainty
Uncertainty can be especially damaging when a business is at a sensitive inflection point

The phrase “rock the boat” captures the concern neatly. A business that has spent years navigating a difficult market and is now seeing signs of recovery may not benefit from abrupt upheaval, particularly if the alternative leadership has not set out a clear and credible plan.

The board’s objections to the proposed replacement directors

Management’s opposition is not based only on timing. It has also raised several specific concerns about the individuals named in the requisition notice.

1. Lack of clearly relevant life sciences services experience

One criticism is that the proposed directors do not appear, from the current board’s perspective, to have the right experience in life sciences services.

That point matters because Physiomics operates in a specialist technical area. This is not a generic consultancy business. It works at the intersection of mathematical modelling, clinical development and biostatistics. Running such a company effectively may require sector-specific understanding, not just general boardroom experience.

2. No clear plan has been presented

Another issue is the lack of an articulated strategy.

The current board says it has seen no evidence of a plan, not even at a high level, explaining what the replacement board would actually do with the company.

That absence of detail is central to the concern. Replacing a board is one thing. Explaining the strategy that would follow is another. Without that second piece, shareholders are effectively being asked to back change without a roadmap.

3. Concerns about independence

The board has also highlighted governance concerns. Specifically, it says the proposed individuals are all connected parties in some way, either through previous or current working relationships.

From a governance standpoint, that raises the question of board independence. Best practice generally favours having independent directors who can challenge each other, think autonomously and avoid groupthink.

If all proposed appointees are closely connected, the argument is that this could weaken the balance and independence expected of a well-run board.

The central problem: shareholders are being asked to choose without enough detail

Perhaps the most striking concern is also the simplest one: nobody really knows what the incoming group would do if it took control.

That uncertainty sits at the heart of management’s case against the requisition. The issue is not merely whether change is good or bad in principle. It is whether shareholders should support a board replacement when the intended strategy has not been laid out.

As framed by the current leadership, that creates an asymmetrical choice:

Option one: keep the existing board in place while the business appears to be improving
Option two: replace the board with a group that has not communicated a clear plan

From that perspective, the proposed change looks less like a defined alternative and more like a leap into the unknown.

That is really the essence of the argument.

Could the new group still have good intentions?

To be fair, the current board has not claimed that the requisitioning group intends to damage the company. In fact, the stated hope is that they are interested because they see real potential in Physiomics and want to continue building on the progress already made.

But hope is not the same as certainty.

Without a clearly stated strategy, the board’s position is that shareholders are being asked to make a consequential decision based on assumptions rather than evidence. And in a listed company, particularly one operating in a specialist and commercially sensitive field, that may not be enough.

What shareholders are being asked to do

The practical takeaway is very clear. Shareholders are being urged to participate in the vote at the general meeting.

The board’s formal recommendation is that the resolutions should be rejected. But beyond that recommendation, there is a broader appeal to engagement. This is being presented as one of those moments when shareholders can directly influence the direction of the company.

The message is not complicated:

Read the information available
Consider the company’s recent progress
Assess the risks around the proposed board changes
Vote

In governance terms, that is the crux of it. A listed company only functions properly when shareholders take an active interest in major decisions, especially when those decisions concern leadership, strategy and accountability.

The bigger picture for Physiomics

Strip away the corporate drama, and the underlying story is a relatively straightforward one.

Physiomics is a specialist life sciences consultancy working in mathematical modelling and biostatistics for drug development. It has come through a difficult period for the wider life sciences sector and is now reporting stronger financial performance, with signs that it could deliver a record year.

At exactly that moment, it faces an activist-led attempt to replace the board.

Management’s view is that this is the wrong intervention at the wrong time. The company says it is making progress, the business environment is becoming more supportive, and a disruptive governance change without a clearly articulated alternative plan would introduce unnecessary risk.

Whether shareholders agree is, of course, a matter for them. But the issues at stake are now clear:

Business momentum
Board stability
Strategic clarity
Governance quality

Those are not side issues. They go to the heart of whether Physiomics can build on its recent progress and sustain the upward trajectory management believes is now underway.

Zak Mir talks to Ignacio Mehech, CEO of CleanTech Lithium

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:24:01 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ignacio Mehech, CEO of CleanTech Lithium (AIM: CTL), regarding the milestones achieved by the exploration and development company advancing sustainable lithium projects in Chile.

The company recently announced an update on two trials being undertaken in North America and in Santiago, Chile, to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate from the Laguna Verde project. The trials focus on replicating and validating the process design defined in the Laguna Verde Pre-Feasibility Study.

Highlights:

· In North America, stage two of the downstream processing of eluate* (see footnote for definition) produced by our DLE pilot plant located in Chile, into battery grade lithium carbonate has commenced.

· The first stage of this work was undertaken by Conductive Energy and reported to the market in January 2025.

· Conductive Energy was acquired by Empower EIT over the course of 2025, with Empower establishing an advanced lithium processing facility in Dallas, USA.

· This second stage of eluate conversion will process >60m3 of concentrated eluate at the new facility.

· The nanofiltration stage of the process will utilise an advanced membrane developed by DuPont Water Solutions to maximise impurity removal and lithium recovery.

· Approximately 300kg of battery grade lithium carbonate are expected to be produced in Q2 2026 and made available to potential strategic partners for product qualification.

· Concurrently, a smaller scale pilot programme is underway utilising the pilot plant of Lanshen Technology ("Lanshen"), located in Santiago, Chile.

· This pilot plant replicates the process flowsheet developed with Lanshen for the Laguna Verde PFS and aims to demonstrate the robustness of the process design and provide a high degree of validation of the process parameters used in the PFS.

· A volume of 24m3 of feed brine from Laguna Verde is being processed into >5kg of battery grade lithium carbonate.

Ignacio Mehech, Chief Executive Officer, CleanTech Lithium said: "We are undertaking important pilot scale process trials in North America and Chile to produce battery grade lithium carbonate from Laguna Verde brine. This work will provide strong technical support for the process flow sheet used in our PFS which we think is an important consideration for engaging with potential strategic investors."

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:26:08 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments, in the wake of the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, announcing its audited final results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

TMT Investments PLC has reported a strong set of audited results for 2025, marked by a return to profitability and growth in asset value.

Net Asset Value (NAV) per share increased to $7.13, up from $6.55 the previous year, with total NAV rising to $220.8 million.

The company delivered a profit of $16.6 million, a significant turnaround from a $2.2 million loss in 2024, supported in part by gains from investments, including a notable uplift from its stake in Scale AI.

Investment activity slowed during the year, with $1.5 million deployed compared to $5.9 million in 2024, while $5.5 million was realised through disposals and dividends.

TMT also completed a $1.7 million share buyback programme, and ended the year with $5.0 million in cash, maintaining liquidity for future opportunities.

Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director of TMT, commented:

"In 2025, TMT's net asset value increased 8.9%, mainly as a result of the significant positive currency exchange impact on the Company's Pound Sterling and Euro-denominated investments and the continued growth of TMT's investment in Scentbird. This was a period of continuing macroeconomic and political instability, as well as of subdued venture capital, IPO, and M&A activity outside the AI segment.

TMT's portfolio benefited from positive revaluations of seven of its investee companies (Bolt, Scentbird, Global Work AI, Spin.ai, Scale AI, Rhino, and Whizz), which have been partly offset by full and partial write-downs in the value of nine of the Company's investments (Backblaze, Mobilo, SOAX, MTL Financial, Prodly, Sonic Jobs, Aurabeat, Qumata, and Go X), in line with TMT's highly prudent valuation approach.

The majority of TMT's portfolio companies continue to demonstrate good business progress and have adapted well to the challenges of the current environment. Despite reduced revenue growth rates for some investees in this environment, many of them have managed to reach either profitability or positive operating cash flow levels.

TMT successfully disposed of partial stakes in some of its portfolio companies (most notably, Backblaze and Bolt) at NAV-enhancing valuation levels.

Given the continued high level of market uncertainty and volatility in 2025, TMT maintained its cautious investment approach during the period, and made only four new and follow-on investments. Two new companies were added to TMT's portfolio, Spendbase Inc. and Leasy Holdings Limited.

In 2025, TMT's shares often traded at a 60%+ discount to NAV, and at this valuation it was hard for management to identify a better investment opportunity than TMT's current investment portfolio itself. Accordingly, the Company successfully completed a share buyback programme, in which a total of 651,688 TMT shares were bought at a weighted average price of US$2.65 per share for a total consideration of US$1,729,657.

With no financial debt and strong cash reserves, TMT is well positioned to not only ride out the current market volatility, but also to continue making investments and realising full and partial disposals when the right opportunities present themselves.

We look forward to keeping shareholders updated on relevant developments in due course."

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 12:27:27 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Chairman Hydrogen Utopia, in the wake of a report in the Financial Times, regarding airlines scrambling to source aviation fuel.

Hydrogen Utopia and the “all bases are loaded” case for sustainable aviation fuel

Airlines do not just worry about fares and demand. They worry about fuel. And when geopolitical tensions flare up, contingency planning starts quickly, including new approaches to aviation fuel supply.

That is the context Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, uses to frame today’s opportunity: rather than treating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a niche ideal, he argues it should be treated as a practical, supply-secure alternative that can withstand disruption.

Why airline fuel shortages matter more than you think

Recent reporting has highlighted how airlines can be hit hard by fuel shortages and price shocks tied to geopolitical events. The headlines are blunt: airlines draw up contingency plans when jet fuel supply becomes uncertain, and disruptions can translate into very large financial impacts.

The underlying lesson is simple. When supply chains rely too heavily on a narrow set of locations and traditional production routes, the entire system becomes more fragile. In that environment, “strategy” is not a slogan. It is a risk management requirement.

The SAF problem: “great idea,” but can it compete on price and supply?

White’s view is that many conversations about SAF stall at a single question: can it reach parity with the price of conventional jet fuel?

He references a point made by a head of a major airline in discussions prior to the current crisis: SAF is welcome, but it needs to “get to par” with jet A1 pricing.

White positions Hydrogen Utopia’s approach as a direct response to that pricing pressure. He describes a SAF cost around $200 versus jet A1 at roughly $175 at the time of his comments, suggesting the “parity” goal is closer than many assume.

“All bases are loaded”: a contra perspective on where Hydrogen Utopia is positioned

White describes the market as myopic. In his framing, people see Saudi Arabia and immediately assume that everything becomes risky. His counterpoint is that the region is unlikely to disappear, and the strategic need for resilient fuel supply and internal investment only increases under stress.

He also reframes the location question. Traditional SAF pathways often require facilities and supply chains that are vulnerable to targeted disruptions. He argues Hydrogen Utopia’s model is more flexible because it is modular and can be deployed in safer jurisdictions.

Waste plastic as a feedstock: solving two problems at once

One of the most compelling parts of the argument is feedstock availability. White’s case rests on the idea that the company does not rely on a natural resource supply chain like oil or gas.

Instead, he points to mixed waste plastic, including unrecyclable plastic, as a “ubiquitous” input across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. In other words: if waste plastic exists everywhere (because it is produced everywhere and often not properly managed), then production can follow demand without being trapped in one geopolitical footprint.

He adds a blunt economic twist: in most countries, authorities may even pay for solutions that remove plastic waste. Hydrogen Utopia, he says, is “not going to be paying for the plastic.” That can convert waste management into a supportive revenue stream rather than a cost centre.

Hydrogen at $2 a kilo: opening doors beyond SAF

SAF is the headline, but White argues the technology unlocks additional markets by producing hydrogen internally at a very low stated cost: $2 per kilo.

He ties this to more than one downstream opportunity:

SAF production from low-carbon hydrogen pathways, aiming for a competitive price versus current methods.
Urea (a major fertiliser), which White notes depends on hydrogen generated via steam methane reforming in conventional setups.

He also gives a real-world example of supply pressure: Brazil being extremely short of urea due to logistics constraints. In his logic, if hydrogen is competitive, then fertiliser production becomes more scalable and less tied to the same geopolitical vulnerabilities.

Why the timing could be faster than investors expect

In technology markets, delays kill momentum. White pushes back on the typical “wait 2 or 3 years” expectation for development milestones.

He highlights a proposed $800 million project being evaluated for funding and moving toward FID (Final Investment Decision), with Saudi Arabia timelines suggesting movement within up to 15 months.

He also references the creation of a Saudi Arabia subsidiary, which he says can be used as a base for funding and execution in the region. The implication is that the company is not just discussing future potential. It is building the administrative and commercial pathway to scale.

Regulatory and commercial momentum: more than one country is looking

White points to ongoing engagement across the GCC during the Ramadan period, describing the process as active rather than slow.

He mentions discussions and communications involving countries including:

Saudi Arabia
Oman
United Arab Emirates
Kuwait

He also notes that one UAE-based company that deploys technologies across the region has begun due diligence to assess whether it should take a major involvement in SAF and other opportunities within the GCC.

What partnerships and monetisation could look like

The next stage, according to White, is not technology validation. It is monetisation: turning interest into financing, contracting, and commercial delivery.

He frames the “game” as one where money becomes available once projects are sufficiently underwritten and funded, and he indicates that this is the direction of travel after a period of embedded regional work and corporate validation through public announcements.

The bottom line: diversification that is strategic, scalable, and disruption-resistant

White’s core thesis is that the current climate is reinforcing a shift in thinking:

Airlines and fuel markets need reliability under geopolitical pressure.
SAF should not only be sustainable, but also commercially viable.
Technology that can use waste plastic as feedstock offers supply flexibility because it is not a natural resource concentrated in one geography.
Lower-cost hydrogen (as described) can extend the impact beyond aviation into fertiliser and other hydrogen-linked industries.

In his closing sentiment, White suggests that the situation does not reduce opportunity. It increases it. One catalyst event, he implies, could accelerate the next phase of funding and momentum.

For investors watching sustainable fuels, the question becomes less “is SAF needed?” and more “who can deliver it at scale, in the right places, with resilient supply and credible economics?” Hydrogen Utopia’s pitch is essentially that it has a modular route to get there.

Zak Mir talks to Paul Emmitt, CEO of Powerhouse Energy

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:09:48 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Paul Emmitt, CEO of Powerhouse Energy, about recent progress at the company, including its pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low-carbon energy, and its revenue-generating engineering consulting division. They discuss PHE's proven technology, its projects and newsflow drivers.

Powerhouse Energy: Turning Non‑Recyclable Waste into Low‑Carbon Energy

Powerhouse Energy is positioning itself where two urgent problems intersect: mounting non‑recyclable waste and the need to decarbonise industrial energy. The company has developed an integrated waste‑to‑energy solution that converts difficult waste streams into useful products — syngas, hydrogen or power — using a robust, proven process based on a rotating kiln.

What Powerhouse Energy offers

At its core, Powerhouse Energy provides a technology platform and engineering capability that turns problematic waste into real value. Rather than competing with recycling, it tackles the residual fraction that typically goes to landfill or is incinerated.

Key outcomes the company targets:

Production of syngas that can be used for power or as a chemical feedstock
Hydrogen production from syngas
On‑site power to reduce reliance on grid electricity or volatile natural gas
Support for corporate decarbonisation and waste management strategies

How the technology works — simple and proven

Powerhouse Energy’s process is a gasification system built around a rotating kiln. That configuration brings two advantages:

Robustness — rotating kilns are a proven industrial technology with predictable behaviour and maintenance profiles.
Flexibility — the system handles a wide range of non‑recyclable feedstocks and produces a controllable syngas stream for different downstream uses.

The downstream equipment—gas cleanup, conditioning and conversion units—uses established industrial technology, which lowers technical risk for potential customers and investors.

The Feedstock Testing Unit: the turning point

One of the most important recent milestones was the completion of a feedstock testing unit (FTU) at the company’s Brandon site in March last year. The FTU serves several crucial purposes:

It lets potential clients bring their waste and see how it performs through the process.
It provides a platform for ongoing R&D and for tuning the process to specific feedstocks.
It acts as a commercial proof point that the technology works at scale prior to a full build‑out.

As the CEO put it succinctly:

"The technology is here for people to see and see work."

Commercialisation pathway and project landscape

Powerhouse Energy is working across several geographies and project types, from licensing and royalties to design‑build‑operate models where it retains control of delivery.

Current project highlights and opportunities include:

An Australia project operating under a licensing and royalty arrangement, where the client controls the timeline and delivery.
A proposed design, build and operate facility at Balamina (planning application submitted), which would allow the company to drive the project and capture engineering revenues.
Active discussions in the Middle East, Europe and the Caribbean for a mix of larger and smaller commercial units.

Importantly, many enquiries are becoming tangible opportunities: in the past 12 months the company received roughly 50–60 enquiries and has around a dozen genuine opportunities under discussion. That pipeline is a positive signal of market interest.

Why market valuation lags — and what will change it

Powerhouse Energy’s market capitalisation sits around £15 million, while the global waste‑to‑energy market runs into the billions. That gap reflects the typical early‑stage dynamic: technology proven at demonstration scale must cross the commercial threshold before valuations re‑rate.

The decisive inflection point will be a signed contract for the first commercial unit. That could be:

The Australia project concluding financial due diligence and executing the contract
A smaller commercial unit (2.5–10 tonnes per day) sold to a customer to prove on‑site commercial operation

Obtaining a first commercial order validates technology, starts revenue recognition and reduces perceived risk for future customers and investors. The company is open to creative commercial structures to overcome the "nobody wants to be first" problem, including moving or deploying the FTU to a partner site as a demonstration of commerciality.

What to watch next

For anyone tracking the company, the next major newsflow drivers are clear:

Execution of the first commercial contract — Australia or a smaller pilot commercial unit.
Planning approval and progression of the Balamina design‑build‑operate project.
Closing one of the mid‑sized international opportunities in Europe, the Middle East or the Caribbean.
Deployment options for the FTU to accelerate commercial proofs and client acceptance.

Where Powerhouse Energy sits in the energy transition

There is sometimes a binary narrative that only electrification and “100% renewable” solutions are green. In practice, the waste problem persists and requires pragmatic, low‑carbon solutions. Powerhouse Energy is not positioned as a replacement for recycling but as a complementary pathway: it deals with materials that would otherwise be landfilled or poorly controlled incinerated.

By turning that residual waste into syngas or hydrogen, the company helps organisations meet waste management targets, reduce fossil fuel dependence for site power and advance decarbonisation strategies in industries where waste remains an intractable problem.

Summary

Powerhouse Energy has moved from concept to demonstrable technology. With a functioning feedstock testing unit, a growing pipeline of enquiries and concrete projects under discussion, the company’s next milestone is commercial traction — a signed first unit. When that happens, it will mark the transition from technology validation to revenue generation and should materially change market perception.

For organisations wrestling with non‑recyclable waste and industrial decarbonisation, Powerhouse Energy offers a pragmatic, proven route to convert waste into useful, low‑carbon energy streams.

Zak Mir spoke to Sam Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of Great Southern Copper

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 08:17:23 +0000

We caught up with Sam Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of Great Southern Copper (LON: GSCU), this week after the company announced the partial assay results of Hole CNG25-DD042 (DD042) recently received for its Phase III drilling programme at the Cerro Negro prospect, part of the Especularita Project.

Highlights:

· Hole CNG25-DD042 tested the interpreted southern extension of Lens 2 some 300m along trend from the Mostaza mine

· The hole intersected multiple zones or lenses of base and precious metals mineralisation including significant intercepts

· An upper Pb-Zn-Ag rich silica breccia zone includes grades up to 22.4g/t Ag, 1.9% Pb and 0.34% Zn similar to the mineralisation identified in the hanging-wall to Lens 2

· DD-042 results extends the Mostaza system to over 400m of strike length with mineralisation open to the south

· Pb and Zn rich intervals add further evidence of a complex multiphase stacked system

· Results pending for final diamond holes and all RC drill holes

· Planning for fully funded Phase IV resource and exploration drilling is in progress

· GSC holds option to 100% of the Cerro Negro project including the Mostaza mine

· Project located at low elevation with excellent access to mining-related infrastructure

Sam Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of Great Southern Copper, said: “These latest results for step-out hole DD042 continue to demonstrate the strong growth potential of the Mostaza copper-silver discovery. Intersecting mineralisation at this distance from the historic workings provides further evidence that the Mostaza Fault Zone hosts a much broader mineralised footprint than originally recognised and emphasises the significant exploration upside still to be tested along this emerging trend.

“Importantly, the presence of significant Pb and Zn mineralisation in DD042 within an upper silica-sulphide breccia zone underlain by high-grade chalcocite-clay mineralisation is consistent with the deposit architecture recognised below the Mostaza mine, reinforcing the exciting proposition that this represents a potential extension of the Mostaza Lens 2 trend towards the south.

“Exploration work to date has already traced mineralisation and alteration signatures for over two kilometres of the Mostaza Fault Zone, and this latest step-out hole is another important confirmation that the system remains open and continues to grow.

“Planning for our fully funded Phase IV drilling campaign is underway and will focus on in-fill drilling of Lens 2 between the Mostaza mine and the mineralisation intersected in holes DD07 and DD042, as well as additional step-out drilling aimed to extend the Lens 2 mineralisation trend further south along the Mostaza Fault Zone. In addition, we look forward to continuing to test the broader potential of the Cerro Negro system.”

Zak Mir talks to Fulcrum Metals CEO on reprocessing strategy and TR1 activity

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 06:40:00 +0000

In this interview, Zak Mir speaks with Fulcrum Metals CEO Ryan Mee about the company’s progress in reprocessing a legacy gold mine in Canada, recent TR1 filings showing increased investor activity, and what lies ahead for the company.

Fulcrum has boosted gold recovery from around 59% to over 70%, now also recovering silver, using a zero-cyanide, zero-waste process with six-hour leach times. Recent drilling has lifted gold-equivalent grades by 8% to 0.7 g/t, supporting a mineral resource estimate expected in early 2026.

Fulcrum Metals has quietly been reshaping its story: moving from a conventional explorer to a technology‑led developer focused on recovering gold and critical minerals from historic tailings. Recent test results, shareholder activity and a tightening register have put the company on the map. Here’s what matters and why this transition could be significant for the company and the wider mining sector.
Mining Indaba in Cape Town - from Feb 9–12.Fulcrum Metals’ senior management will be in Cape Town from February 9–12 for the Mining Indaba conference. If you’d like to meet and learn more about our environmentally friendly tailings reprocessing strategy, please get in touch.

Why the pivot to tailings matters

Tailings projects tap previously mined material rather than digging new pits. That has three immediate advantages:

Lower environmental footprint — using existing material reduces disturbance and can avoid new land clearances.
Faster access to ounces — infrastructure and mineral concentrations are already known, which shortens timelines.
Opportunity to recover multiple metals — tailings often contain not only gold but also silver and critical elements that were not recovered economically in the past.

The Extrakt technology: cleaner, simpler, scalable

Fulcrum has partnered with a proprietary process referred to as Extrakt. The core claims are simple but powerful: a single process that is zero cyanide and zero waste, capable of recovering gold alongside valuable co‑products such as tellurium, gallium and silver.

Located in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Part of the Teck-Hughes historic gold mine.
Milled circa 9.6 million tonnes of ore and produced circa 3.7 million ounces of gold between 1917 and 1968.
Project consists of 7 mining claims over 112 hectares
Working with Extrakt to use its technology to sustainability extract gold from the Teck-Hughes' tailings.

Early bench testing delivered initial gold recoveries around 59%. More recent Phase 3 testwork has produced results in excess of 70% for both gold and silver, with further optimisation underway. In addition, extended leach testing is targeting critical minerals such as tellurium and gallium — potentially transforming the economics by increasing the project’s gold‑equivalent grade.

Phase 3 and the rise of co‑products

Phase 3 is the pivotal study for Fulcrum. The company has already flagged preliminary Phase 3 results and expects further announcements in the near term. Key takeaways:

Higher recoveries — movement from ~59% to +70% indicates the process is maturing.
Co‑product potential — tellurium, gallium and silver could materially boost gold‑equivalent grades and project NPV.
Zero cyanide, zero waste — if the claims hold at scale, this could be a disruptive environmental and permitting advantage.

Market response and share register dynamics

The market has noticed the progress. Share price momentum pushed the company near one‑year highs and produced notable insider and institutional activity. Several TR1 filings showed increases from investors including Metals One, Nick Nugent and Ian Bagnell, amounting to just over 26% combined. Directors retain roughly 19% of the register, tightening ownership and aligning incentives.

At the time of reporting, the stock was up about 30.51% year‑to‑date, with a market capitalisation of around £11.09m. That performance suggests growing investor appetite for technology‑driven, lower‑impact resource plays.

Valuation perspective and upside potential

The company’s projects host an estimated 200,000 ounces of gold. Using a bullish gold price reference quoted by management (~US$5,000/oz at the time), the in‑situ metal value can look large on paper. That said, there are important caveats:

Resource estimates need to be converted into economic reserves.
Process performance at bench scale must be proven in pilot and commercial operations.
Recovery of co‑products and their marketability will materially influence economics.

In short: the combination of a credible resource base plus a potentially disruptive extraction method creates meaningful upside if the technology scales and regulatory, permitting and commercial hurdles are cleared.

What to watch next

Phase 3 final results — confirmation of sustained >70% recoveries and consistent co‑product yields.
Pilot test plans — announcement of pilot or demonstration plant timelines and budgets.
Commercial agreements — off‑take, offtake partnerships for co‑products, or licensing deals for the Extract process.
Register movements — further institutional interest or increased insider holdings that signal confidence.

Bottom line

Fulcrum Metals is positioning itself as more than a gold explorer. By combining tailings assets with a zero‑cyanide extraction method and the prospect of multiple recoverable metals, the company is aiming to offer a cleaner, faster route to value. The next tranche of Phase 3 results and any pilot‑scale confirmations will be the most important value inflection points to watch.

Zak Mir in conversation with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:28:53 +0000

Zak Mir caught up with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, to discuss the company’s strategy and progress in the fast-evolving hydrogen and clean energy space.

The company pioneering leader in converting non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres, and hazardous waste materials into hydrogen and carbon-free fuels, announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Saudi Investment Recycling Company (“SIRC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A practical route from waste plastics to sustainable aviation fuel

Hydrogen Utopia has taken a major step forward with a signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The agreement frames a clear industrial pathway: convert non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres and hazardous wastes into syngas, turn that syngas into hydrogen, and then use a Fischer-Tropsch route to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Why this matters

Several factors make this announcement strategically important. First, the technology that Hydrogen Utopia deploys is already commercial at scale in the United States and elsewhere, removing the usual "pilot" uncertainty. Second, the supply chain in Saudi Arabia and the backing of state investment structures create a rapid route to large-scale deployment. Third, SAF is set to be in structural shortage for years as regulations and airline decarbonisation commitments push demand far ahead of current supply.

There will be a shortage of SAF for the next 20 or 30 years.

How the process works

The core steps are straightforward:

Feedstock: non-recyclable mixed plastics, tyres, hazardous wastes and potentially landfill-mined material.
Thermal conversion: Hydrogen Utopia’s melter system produces a very clean syngas stream.
Hydrogen production: the syngas is used to extract hydrogen and a carbon monoxide stream suitable for downstream synthesis.
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: CO and hydrogen are converted into long-chain hydrocarbons which are upgraded to kerosene-grade SAF.

A critical technical advantage is the exceptionally clean syngas produced by the melter. Cleaner gas reduces catalyst contamination in the Fischer-Tropsch process, which is a 70-year proven pathway to synthetic fuels and a preferred industrial route for high-quality SAF.

Saudi support and Vision 2030 alignment

The project sits squarely within Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions: reducing waste, building new domestic industries and diversifying the economy. The level of enthusiasm reported from government ministries, local supply chain partners and state investment vehicles stands in contrast to the slower, more cautious approach seen in many European markets.

Hydrogen Utopia emphasises that Saudi stakeholders are motivated not only by commercial returns but by national development goals. That outlook has translated into rapid progression from initial discussions to a greenlight for project development by the Public Investment Fund.

Commercial and financial outlook

The project team is building a business model during Ramadan with an expected internal rate of return close to 20% once finalised. Funding interest appears strong: in addition to PIF/SIRC engagement, multiple family offices and other agencies have signalled readiness to contribute to an estimated project capital requirement in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

SAF typically carries a significant premium to conventional Jet A1 because of constrained supply and rising regulatory demand. Hydrogen Utopia targets a competitive production cost with a headline figure in the region of $200 per barrel, which would place the output among the cheaper SAF options globally.

Scale, locations and feedstock security

Practical deployment options are flexible. The chairman highlighted potential sites such as Jubail, which has suitable infrastructure. Importantly, feedstock is abundant: municipal waste streams, tyres, and legacy landfills can be tapped. Saudi authorities have even discussed the possibility of landfill mining to supply material, which would both unlock feedstock and remediate old disposal sites.

The technology does not require brand-new, high-specification industrial customers. That means the solution can be exported and deployed across a wide range of countries, including developing markets that need affordable, fundable projects. The combination of a strong project IRR and state backing makes third-party financing more straightforward.

Market access and offtake

Offtake discussions are already feasible: PIF owns aircraft leasing and airline interests that could naturally absorb SAF volumes. Meanwhile, global aviation mandates are rising, with regulators in the EU, UK and elsewhere moving to require increasing shares of SAF in jet fuel. That regulatory tailwind is a major driver for long-term demand and supports the project’s commercial case.

Why Hydrogen Utopia stands out

Proven commercial pedigree — existing operational plants and a TRL9 classification reduce technical risk.
Feedstock diversity — not dependent on limited biofeedstocks that constrain other SAF routes.
Strategic partners — backing and interest from sovereign investment, local ministries and private capital.
Exportable model — design and economics that can be replicated across the GCC and beyond.

Risks and considerations

Every industrial roll-out faces typical hurdles: final engineering design, securing long-term offtake contracts, refining plant siting and permits, and managing construction and operations. Market pricing of SAF will remain volatile as policy, feedstock availability and competing technologies evolve. That said, strong state support and an existing commercial track record materially lower execution risk.

Where this could lead

The combination of large-scale feedstock, clean syngas chemistry, an established Fischer-Tropsch route and committed capital creates a near-term pathway to SAF production at scale. If the project secures final approvals and funding as anticipated, it could become a replicable model for tackling global plastic waste while supplying a growing, high-value low-carbon fuel market.

Final note

Converting hard-to-recycle wastes into hydrogen and SAF is not only a strong climate and waste-management play. It is also a commercially sensible route that leverages industrial chemistry proven for decades. With strategic support and clear demand signals from aviation regulators, the coming years could see rapid scaling of projects that turn environmental liabilities into high-value, decarbonised fuels.

Zak Mir talks Ajax Resources with CEO Ippolito Cattaneo

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:05:31 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, in the wake of the high-profile appointment of Elton L.S. Pereira, M.Sc., as Senior Geological Consultant, Brazil. They also discuss the value in the company’s burgeoning portfolio as gold approaches $5,000 an ounce.

Ajax Resources PLC has appointed Elton L.S. Pereira as Senior Geological Consultant for Brazil, with the appointment set to take effect on completion of the acquisition of the Pereira Velho Gold Project, expected around 30 January 2026.

Pereira, who led the original discovery of the project, brings more than 30 years of international exploration experience. He played a key role in defining an initial internal resource estimate of approximately 110,000 ounces of gold, based on drilling across just one-fifth of the project area.

Following completion of the acquisition, Ajax plans to launch a new drilling programme of around 3,000 metres, targeting an initial resource of 350,000 ounces of gold. Management believes the project offers significant upside, with broader exploration potential of up to one million ounces as work progresses.

Zak Mir in conversation with Colin Bird on Kendrick’s Namibia rare earth deal

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 15:01:39 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Kendrick Resources, as the mineral exploration and development company, announces that it has entered into a binding and exclusive Option Agreement to acquire not less than 70% interest on terms to be agreed with Bonya Exploration Pty Namibia.

Kendrick Resources Plc (LON: KEN) has entered into a binding and exclusive option agreement to acquire a minimum 70% interest in two rare earth exploration licences, EPL4458 and EPL6691, in Namibia. The exclusivity period runs until May 19, 2026.

The licences, located southwest of Aus, have returned encouraging historical results, with peak Total Rare Earth Oxide grades of up to 4.47% and an average grade of 3.12%. Sampling has identified significant concentrations of neodymium, praseodymium and samarium, elements that are critical for the manufacture of high-performance permanent magnets.

Kendrick said it will immediately begin assaying, trenching and drill-target identification as part of its due diligence programme, ahead of a decision on whether to exercise the option to secure the majority interest.

The binding and exclusivity period is valid until 19 May 2026 and can be extended with the consent of Bonya.

Highlights

· The licenses are situated 55km southwest of the town of Aus, approximately 65km southeast of the deepwater port of Lüderitz

· The two license areas are known as Twyfelskupje and Keishohe and are hosted within a Carbonatite and Alkaline intrusive structural corridor

· The two licenses represent well-defined, high-grade targets located within a larger highly prospective area under license

· The Twyfelskupje Carbonatite Complex forms a circular group of hills with a diameter of 1km

· Historical channel sampling and grab sampling returned peak Rare Earth Oxides ("REO") grades of 4.47% and 4.18% with an average REO of 3.12%

· ICP analysis undertaken in Canada, returned high Rare Earth Elements concentrations, greater than 10,000ppm for a number of elements, including Neodymium, Praseodymium and Samarium, which are all important components of high-performance, high-temperature magnets

· The Keishohe Carbonatite Complex indicates scope for an additional three satellite near surface occurrences

· Work will commence immediately on assaying, currently available but unassayed core, further trenching and identification of drilling targets

· Kendrick will concurrently carry out all necessary legal, financial and regulatory checks before determining whether to exercise the option

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Kendrick Resources Plc commented: "Rare Earths are globally accepted as new age strategic materials and these licenses are located in Namibia, a country recognized for its support of the development of natural resource projects. The historical Rare Earth values are higher than those generally reported in the industry and the high values of the magnetic elements are very encouraging since such elements are much sought after.

The licenses have areas which are drill ready and historically been well evaluated with geophysics and exploration fieldwork.

We intend to accelerate our due diligence and technical preparedness in order to release the high potential of the project area. We will keep shareholders advised as our evaluation phase develops."

Zak Mir caught up with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:22:02 +0000

Zak Mir caught up with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, to discuss the company’s strategy and progress in the fast-evolving hydrogen and clean energy space.

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC (LON: HUI) has identified a substantial opportunity in the MENA region, with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia, to deploy its proprietary InEnTec technology for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrogen-derived diesel from waste streams.

Preliminary financial modelling indicates potential internal rates of return in the high teens for projects requiring minimum capital investment of around US$800m per facility. Under the proposed structure, HUI could retain a 10–20% free-carry equity interest, alongside management fee income commencing from the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase.

The strategy is underpinned by expectations of SAF demand growth in the MENA region exceeding a 40% compound annual growth rate through the 2030s, driven by airline decarbonisation targets and a constrained supply backdrop. HUI believes this positioning offers the potential to capture value from a widening global SAF shortfall while leveraging regional scale and policy momentum.

Aleksandra Binkowska, Chief Executive Officer of HUI, commented: "When I started HUI, I believed we would be playing in the EU league, fuelling hydrogen buses and transforming local transport. Today, after years of trials, resilience, and learning, we stand at the threshold of something far bigger, an opportunity to play in the international league alongside the world's largest players: the airlines and the airports. Reshaping one of the biggest industries in the world.

What once was a game of a few tonnes of hydrogen and local pilot projects has evolved into a game of scale, impact, and vision, shaping global, large-scale infrastructure projects. People will always fly. Humanity is driven to explore, to connect, to discover the world, and there is nothing wrong with that. The challenge was never flight itself, but how we power it.

That is why I would like to invite every CEO of the world's major airlines to come and sit down with us, to explore our real, scalable solution to meet the demands of international aviation. I'm confident in what I know to be bold enough to say it.

If aircraft can fly on waste, guilt disappears and responsibility transforms into progress, regardless of what some so-called eco-purists may claim. There is already enough plastic waste on this planet to fuel the world, without asking people to change their lives or sacrifice their freedom.

For the first time, we will be able to say something extraordinary: fly - and you are helping to save the planet."

Howard White, Chairman of HUI, commented: "I am delighted and very excited by this long-overdue recognition of the potential of SAF, which could unlock exponential opportunities across the MENA region. What has surprised us most is the sheer scale of the shortage - far greater than we ever anticipated. Even more striking is the widespread lack of understanding about what SAF is and how it is fundamentally reshaping global air travel. The growth potential is extraordinary, with a CAGR of over 40% projected over the next five years, and strong momentum sustained over the next 20 years. I have recorded an interview with Zak Mir, to be released today, to explain why so many still fail to grasp its impact.

I believe mandated technologies often go largely unnoticed.

SAF isn't widely known because nothing about flying changes. The plane looks the same, the ticket costs the same, and the passenger doesn't choose the fuel; thus, no one notices it exists."

Zak Mir talks to Ajax Resources CEO Ippolito Cattaneo

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:51:53 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, as the natural resources investment company announced that it has signed a Heads of Terms to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Pereira Velho Exploração S.A. (“PVESA”), a Brazilian company that owns the Pereira Velho Gold Project in Alagoas State, Brazil.

PVESA is wholly owned by entities affiliated with Appian Capital Advisory Limited. Appian holds approximately US$5 billion in assets under management, making it one of the world’s largest dedicated mining-focused private equity groups.

Under the Heads of Terms, Appian has agreed to subscribe for the GBP equivalent of US$400,000 in new Ajax ordinary shares, as part of a £1m fundraise.

Ippolito Ingo Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer of Ajax, commented:

"We are delighted that Appian, a leading global private equity investor with approximately US$5 billion in assets under management investing exclusively in metals, mining and related natural-resource companies, will become a significant shareholder in Ajax upon completion. This represents a transformational growth opportunity for the Company and an endorsement of our development strategy.

The Proposed Acquisition of Pereira Velho is a compelling, scalable gold production opportunity fully aligned with our strategy of acquiring assets with significant unrealised potential on advantageous terms. It has near-surface mineralisation, a strong recent drilling dataset underpinned by approximately US$5 million in historical expenditure, and a prospective resource base, of which only a small portion has been developed, resulting in an Appian in-house mineral resource estimate of approximately 110,000 ounces across the Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories.

Pereira Velho is in a proven mining district with strong geological prospectivity. The Project lies approximately 20km east of Appian's former Mineração Vale Verde Serrote operation, which Appian acquired for US$30 million in 2018 and sold for approximately US$420 million in April 2025. This illustrates the region's supportive operating environment and, equally importantly, demonstrates Appian's ability to acquire assets with significant unexploited potential on advantageous terms, coinciding fully with Ajax's core development strategy.

With gold prices at or near record levels, we see a clear route for Pereira Velho to achieve its first milestone of 350,000 ounces, as set out in our agreed transaction structure, with the objective of progressing the Proposed Acquisition to a near-term open-pit gold operation with material resource scale growth potential.

The new relationship with Appian is of key strategic importance as it will position Ajax to access future opportunities within their extended pipeline of large-scale, high-value projects that fall below their scale thresholds, benefitting from Appian's industry-leading geological, technical, legal and financial evaluation capabilities.

The potential acquisition of Pereira Velho represents a significant foundation in Ajax's journey of high-impact growth as we embark on resource definition at the Eureka Project, with a maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate to be published in the first half of 2026, and advance several other acquisition opportunities, some of which have already been disclosed and others that will follow in 2026."

Gelion’s John Wood discusses latest developments with Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 12:38:57 +0000

Zak Mir speaks with John Wood, CEO of Gelion (AIM: GELN), following the release of the company’s audited results for the year ended 30 June 2025. Wood highlights that Gelion has generated its first commercial revenue, helping lift total income by 36% to £2.7 million.

The performance is in line with expectations and marks a meaningful shift as the global energy-storage specialist moves firmly into its commercial revenue phase.

Technical Breakthrough: Gelion Achieves Target Areal Capacity

Gelion Advanced Sulfur Cathodes Reach Key Industry Milestone in Coin Cells

Key Highlights:

· | 4Q Achieved in Coin Cells: Gelion has successfully reached its 4Q areal-capacity target in coin-cell testing, the industry-recognised standard for evaluating advanced battery materials. 4Q is widely recognised as a critical milestone for practical high-energy-density sulfur cathodes.
· | Clear Technical Progress Toward Pouch Cells: The coin-cell results provide strong evidence supporting the translation of Gelion's CAM into large-format pouch-cell electrodes capable of meeting 4Q performance targets.
· | Improved Electrode Quality and Consistency: Recent work demonstrates enhanced uniformity, improved adhesion, and reproducible slurry rheology, all compatible with scale-up for larger-format electrodes.
· | Enabling Future High Energy Density Targets: This milestone strengthens Gelion's roadmap toward high-energy-density, low-cost sulfur-based batteries suitable for e-aviation, electric mobility, stationary storage, and other commercial applications.
John Wood, CEO of Gelion, commented: "Achieving 4Q areal capacity in coin cells marks a major validation of our sulfur cathode platform and represents a key technical milestone for Gelion. In the battery industry, 4Q is widely recognised as an important benchmark for high-energy-density sulfur cathodes, and these results give us strong confidence that our sulfur CAM can progress toward delivering the same performance in pouch-cell formats. As we continue refining electrodes for larger format manufacturing, we are building the technical foundation required for prototype development and industry engagement."

Zak Mir spoke with Australian Gold and Copper Ltd (ASX:AGC) MD Glen Diemar on today’s Achilles results

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 15:27:53 +0000

Achilles Northern Zone Delivers Exceptional Grades

AGC Managing Director, Glen Diemar, said, “These new results are truly exceptional and further enhance the value being delivered by consistent follow-up drilling. This intersection in A3RCD086 of 6m at 2,474g/t AgEq ranks as one of our best holes
at Achilles to date. To receive these results at a time when the silver price is hitting new highs is serendipitous.”

“Our aim this year was to keep the diamond drill rig in locations with potential for very high grades, and to enhance our knowledge of the geology and the structural complexity at Achilles. This strategy is paying off.”

“The high-grade northern area is now shaping-up as a coherent zone that spans 150m in length and over 250m in depth. This zone remains open and assays are pending for another 11 holes within this area and we eagerly await those results.”

Overview

A new high-grade discovery at the Achilles Northern Zone is reshaping how we think about the district and the company exploring it. Over the past 18 months we've methodically expanded the footprint with targeted drilling and the results are delivering exceptionally high grades near surface and at depth. This is not just a single zone of interest; it is part of a long, polymetallic corridor with proven mining history and significant upside for growth.

Systematic drilling has outlined a continuous panel of mineralisation roughly 7,800 metres long and currently tested to depths of 250 to 300 metres. Within that trend we have identified discrete, very high-grade pods that stand out from the background mineralisation and could materially add value if they continue to replicate along strike and at depth.

"We've discovered a panel of mineralization about 7,800 metres long, currently down to about 250 to 300 metres depth."

High-grade intercepts

Some of the standout assays include very strong near-surface and deep intercepts. One surface interval returned:

"Five metres at 19 grams gold and 50 grams silver right at surface."

Deeper drilling has also hit a pronounced high-grade pocket. A recent hole (hole 86) returned a deeper multi-metre, very high-grade interval that, on a silver-equivalent basis, sits in the multiple-thousands of grams per tonne range. These concentrated pockets are exactly the kind of zones where ounces can be added quickly and economically.

How this fits within the broader district

The Achilles trend sits inside a long, established polymetallic district with roughly 150 years of mining history. The district runs for some 250 kilometres and is renowned for multi-commodity deposits. Being polymetallic means the project can be positioned to take advantage of whatever metal cycles are strongest—copper, silver or gold—without needing to change the fundamental geology of the asset.

Recent drilling and the maiden resource

Over the past six weeks a focused program of 14 holes concentrated on expanding the northern high-grade pod. While we will publish a maiden mineral resource before Christmas, several of these latest holes are likely to come in after the resource cut-off and represent upside for subsequent updates.

Where this could take the company

A small-cap company can transform quickly when it proves up high-grade, scalable mineralisation in a favourable district. The combination of near-surface high grades, a long mineralised corridor and a polymetallic mix supports a trajectory from smaller market capitalisation to a more substantial mid-tier exploration/development story—provided further drilling and resource definition continue to deliver.

Next steps

Finalise and publish the maiden mineral resource before Christmas.
Continue infill and step-out drilling to convert high-grade pods into the resource and test along strike and to depth.
Assess metallurgical characteristics and potential preliminary economic pathways for a polymetallic operation.
Maintain district consolidation and allocate exploration capital to other nearby targets to build long-term longevity.

Final note

These results are encouraging and demonstrate how targeted exploration, focused on high-potential pods within a larger mineralised system, can create meaningful value. The polymetallic nature of the system provides strategic flexibility and potential leverage to different commodity cycles.

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 12:09:10 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments, after the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, announced that it will today commence an on-market share buyback programme for an aggregate consideration of up to US$2,000,000.

The Company’s board of directors believe that the current share price trades at a significant discount to the Company’s intrinsic value. The purpose of the Programme is therefore to seek to take advantage of this discount to enhance Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, reduce the Company’s share capital, and return value to its shareholders.

Quick snapshot: who TMT is and what they own

TMT is a listed investment company focused on technology, media and telecoms ventures. Founded nearly 15 years ago, the firm has backed more than 100 companies across the US, Western Europe, the UK and Estonia. Its portfolio includes several high-growth names that have achieved large multiples on real exits, and the group reports an IRR since inception of over 14%.

Key portfolio highlights include a material holding in Bolt, several profitable growth companies such as Sandbird, and other scalable businesses that are already generating cash. TMT also holds liquid, publicly traded US stock totalling around US$12 million that can be sold if needed. Despite that mix, the market capitalisation for TMT has been trading well below the value of its assets, at roughly a 60% discount to NAV.

Why the buyback matters

The board’s stated purpose is straightforward: use the buyback to enhance NAV per share, reduce share capital, and return value to shareholders while taking advantage of the discount. Management has framed the decision as both a prudent capital allocation and a signal that they see the shares as undervalued relative to the company’s intrinsic holdings.

Put simply, when a listed vehicle holds large stakes in businesses that are profitable or have credible exit paths, repurchasing shares at steep discounts can be an efficient way to convert latent value into realised shareholder benefit.

Conservative valuation, transaction-first approach

TMT emphasises a conservative, transparent approach to valuing its portfolio. Rather than relying heavily on convenient multiples, the company values most holdings using actual transactions where possible. As of the most recent reporting, only about 15% of the portfolio value was derived from multiples. The rest is grounded in verifiable cash exits or market-based evidence.

This transaction-first method matters for two reasons. First, it reduces the subjectivity that often plagues private asset valuations. Second, it gives buyers and existing shareholders more confidence that the headline NAV is meaningful and not merely an academic number.

Why the London market discounts investment companies

There are several forces pushing listed VC-style investment companies to trade at discounts. A few of the main contributors are:

Market risk aversion. Volatility and macro uncertainty make investors prefer simple, liquid stories over diversified, private-rich portfolios.
Focus on the negatives. When you hold dozens of companies, the market tends to fixate on weaker performers instead of the winners.
Timing uncertainty for exits. Investors price in delays for IPOs or sales, which reduces near-term enthusiasm for NAV-based assets.
Capital outflows from small caps. Structural flows away from smaller listed companies can suppress demand further.

Those factors help explain why an investment company can be priced well below the sum of its parts, even when its largest holdings are sizable and verifiable.

Portfolio depth and track record

TMT’s historical performance includes high-multiple exits and several successful growth stories. The team leverages decades of operating and investing experience to access deals, support scale-up, and realise value. For investors who cannot source and monitor multiple early-stage opportunities directly, a diversified vehicle like TMT offers scaled exposure with professional oversight.

Examples mentioned by management include exits that delivered 50 times and 23 times the original investment, and a portfolio valuation that exceeds US$200 million. Those realised outcomes are a reminder that venture-style returns remain achievable, albeit uneven across companies.

Why management is buying back shares now

The buyback is both a practical move and a signal. Management believes the current market price significantly understates intrinsic value. Buying stock at a 60% discount can meaningfully increase NAV per remaining share, and it demonstrates the board’s confidence in the portfolio’s prospects.

"You're paying 40p for a pound."

That shorthand captures the essence of the opportunity as the board sees it: purchasing a claim on a dollar of underlying value for substantially less than its stated worth.

How to evaluate this kind of opportunity

When considering an investment in a listed, venture-style vehicle, the following checklist helps frame the decision:

Valuation basis — Are portfolio values backed by cash exits or observable market prices, or are they largely multiples and estimates?
Concentration risk — How much of the NAV is tied to a single holding and how comfortably can that position be realised?
Liquidity profile — How easy would it be to monetise some holdings if capital was required?
Exit pipeline and timing — Are there credible catalysts, such as planned IPOs or trade sale processes?
Management track record — Does the team have a history of building companies, achieving exits and allocating capital well?
Discount to NAV — Is the discount justified by legitimate risks, or does it reflect short-term market sentiment?

Risk and timeframe

Investing through a vehicle like TMT is not a short-term trade. Venture outcomes are irregular and often require patience, typically measured in years rather than months. Catalysts such as IPO announcements can rapidly re-rate a stock, but those events are timing-dependent. The buyback reduces share count and can accelerate per-share NAV accretion, yet it does not remove execution risk across underlying companies.

Final thought

TMT’s share buyback is a clear, pragmatic response to a valuation gap. For investors comfortable with venture-style risk and a longer time horizon, buying into a diversified, transaction-valued portfolio at a substantial discount can be an attractive opportunity. As always, review the underlying holdings, assess the company’s valuation methodology, and consider how the investment fits within your broader portfolio objectives.

Amazing AI plc (AQSE: AAI) has taken its first step into digital assets, confirming that its subsidiary Amazing AI Services Ltd has established a Digital Asset Treasury with an initial Bitcoin acquisition valued in the low four-figure USD range.

The company said it will use a dollar-cost averaging strategy to build its position and plans to expand its holdings to include Ethereum, XRP, and Solana before the end of December 2025.

Amazing AI is also exploring the addition of a fifth digital asset, potentially gold-backed, as part of a broader diversification strategy.

Management said the company intends to increase its overall exposure to digital assets through selective acquisitions while continuing to prioritise its core artificial intelligence operations.

Paul Mathieson, CEO of Amazing AI plc said, “We are excited to have made our initial purchase in our Digital Asset Treasury. We believe that AAI’s strategy is Digital Asset Treasury 3.0, aiming to provide greater upside whilst insulating Amazing AI from downside exposure across a diversified basket of leading digital assets. By being patient and strategic we have avoided the recent significant price correction in digital assets.”

Zak Mir Speaks with Stafford Masie and Warren Wheatley of Africa Bitcoin Corporation

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 10:46:32 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Stafford Masie, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO, Africa Bitcoin Corporation, which is set to list on the Aquis Exchange.

I sat down with Stafford Maisy, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO of Africa Bitcoin Corporation to understand how a South African financial services group plans to combine an established SME lending business with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. What follows is a clear view of their thesis, the mechanics behind the plan, and why they believe Africa is the ideal place for a Bitcoin-first corporate treasury.

What is Africa Bitcoin Corporation?

Africa Bitcoin Corporation is the first publicly listed company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The business started as a financial services group focused on secured lending to small and medium enterprises across South Africa and has now announced a strategic pivot: use Bitcoin to strengthen the balance sheet, access cheaper global capital, and scale lending and impact across the continent.

Bitcoin was made for us.

That tagline captures their conviction. Stafford and Warren describe Bitcoin not as a speculative novelty but as a practical, life-changing instrument in African markets where currency debasement and weak rails make reliable stores of value precious. They are positioning ABC to be the regulated, listed vehicle that gives African investors, citizens and institutions exposure to Bitcoin in a jurisdictional, compliant manner.

Why a Bitcoin treasury strategy in Africa?

The argument is straightforward and rooted in local economic realities:

Demand is pent up. In many African countries access to Bitcoin is restricted, exchanges are nascent, and investors lack regulated entry points.
Currency debasement makes a fixed-supply, globally recognised asset attractive as a store of value.
Bitcoin is being used as a medium of exchange in sub-Saharan Africa at higher rates than almost anywhere else. Merchant acceptance and day-to-day use are significant.
The informal economy is large, sophisticated and largely cash based. Creating rails to bring informal participants into regulated Bitcoin exposure is an opportunity to increase financial inclusion.

They point to examples like Namibia, where ABC has already completed a dual listing, as evidence of demand for a regulated way to gain Bitcoin exposure across the continent.

How the strategy works in practice

ABC’s plan is not just to buy Bitcoin and sit on it. The stated objective is to increase Bitcoin per share over time by using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to unlock cheaper capital globally and then deploy that capital into secured, high-impact lending within Africa.

Key mechanics include:

Bolster the balance sheet by holding Bitcoin as a core asset, increasing the company’s creditworthiness.
Borrow in deep capital markets such as Japan, Switzerland or the US at single-digit interest rates.
On-lend to African SMEs at materially higher rates, creating an interest-rate arbitrage that can be accretive to shareholders and increase Bitcoin per share.

Warren explained the arbitrage clearly: borrow at around 6 to 9 percent in developed markets and on-lend in Africa at roughly 20 to 22 percent, resulting in a margin that can be reinvested into the treasury strategy and into the core lending book.

Lending model and impact

ABC’s lending is secured and targeted at businesses rather than microfinance. Typical loan sizes are between £100,000 and £1,000,000, and the company has a three-year track record of deploying such loans.

This is presented as high-impact lending: Stafford noted the social multiplier effect — for every modest amount deployed, jobs are created. The combination of secure lending with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet is intended to simultaneously deliver financial returns and measurable local impact.

Regulation, listings and rollout across Africa

ABC’s listing strategy begins with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as its home market and has expanded with a dual listing in Namibia. The company plans further listings in five other sizable African markets to create regulated access points for citizens where Bitcoin cannot easily be bought today.

Key points on compliance and execution:

Using the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as the regulatory anchor simplifies subsequent listings because many African exchanges accept a fast-track process that recognises the rigor of JSE scrutiny.
Additional listings are described as access points, not liquidity hubs. Deep liquidity is expected to come from listings on major markets such as London, Frankfurt and the US.
ABC argues that South Africa offers the best combination of liquidity, governance and integration with global capital markets, giving the company a practical moat for a continental rollout.

Why ABC believes it can be the dominant player

Stafford and Warren set out several competitive advantages:

They bring on-the-ground experience across African townships and informal economies, not just a financial services pedigree.
Their lending business is naturally synergistic with a Bitcoin treasury. The balance sheet amplification unlocks cheaper capital which scales the lending model.
They claim a governance and regulatory network, including relationships with the South African Reserve Bank and the JSE, that many competitors lack.

They also stressed differentiation from other companies that have taken on Bitcoin treasuries without an operational fit. Unlike firms that can only announce a holding, ABC intends to actively use Bitcoin as collateral to build a repeatable, accretive business model.

Our sole objective is continuously and perpetually to increase Bitcoin per share.

Practical concerns and responses

Addressing obvious questions, Stafford explained that cross-border expansion can be managed without an explosion in compliance costs because partner exchanges usually accept the JSE’s due diligence and offer a fast-track listing. The company will still meet KYC and AML checks locally, but the model is designed to be operationally manageable.

On the human side, both leaders emphasised their township roots and the reality of local economies. They challenged western misperceptions about African economies, arguing that informal cash markets are sophisticated and primed for the benefits Bitcoin can bring when offered through regulated, understandable rails.

What to watch next

Key milestones to monitor include:

Final listing on the Aquis Exchange and subsequent planned listings across African markets.
Announcements about the size and timing of initial Bitcoin purchases for the treasury and the financing structures used to leverage that collateral.
Rollout of lending products that blend fiat and Bitcoin exposure, such as hybrid instruments or "bit bonds", which the company mentioned as a way to grow the treasury without causing dilution.
Partnerships with deeper capital markets to provide liquidity and enable the interest-rate arbitrage at scale.

Conclusion

Africa Bitcoin Corporation presents a thesis built on a credible underlying business, continental demand, and a conviction that Bitcoin offers more than speculative upside in African markets. By using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to access global liquidity and scale secured lending locally, ABC aims to be both accretive for shareholders and transformational for customers on the ground.

Whether you view Bitcoin as a speculative asset or as money, ABC’s approach is pragmatic: use the asset to create real economic value, deliver credit to businesses that need it, and increase Bitcoin exposure for investors and citizens who currently lack regulated access.

For those tracking the intersection of crypto, emerging markets and impact finance, this is a story to follow closely.

Zak Mir talks to Dr Kerim Sener, Managing Director of Ariana Resources Plc

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 18:28:38 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Dr Kerim Sener, Managing Director of Ariana Resources, in the wake of the recent summary of projects with drilling planned at Dokwe and the dual listing on the ASX.

Highlights:

o Ariana commenced trading on the ASX on 10 September 2025, following the completion of a A$11 million IPO, capitalising the Company at c.A$72.5 million.

o Flagship >1Moz Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe continues to be advanced through its Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), as additional technical consultancy companies are appointed.

o Drilling companies have submitted tenders to undertake a significant new diamond and Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling programme of c.11,000m at Dokwe; with contracts due to be awarded imminently and drilling to commence in early October.

o The drilling programme is designed to substantially increase the current 1.4Moz Resource and 0.8Moz Reserve (as defined in the Pre-feasibility Study - "PFS") at Dokwe, while also providing additional technical data for the DFS.

o Gold-silver production continues from the Turkish operations (held 23.5% by Ariana), with production from the Tavşan Mine due to be augmented through its heap-leach imminently.

Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented:

"The successful dual-listing of Ariana on the ASX and its associated capital raising of A$11 million, is a landmark moment since first listing on AIM in 2005. In that time, the Company has evolved from a greenfield exploration company to a gold producer.

"The ASX listing provides a powerful platform for us to accelerate our growth strategy, broaden our investor base, and unlock the full potential of our asset portfolio. Central to this is the 100% owned Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe, a highly compelling development opportunity with significant scale, strong economics and exciting upside potential.

"With a gold price currently exceeding US$3,600/oz the Company continues to optimise the path forward for the fast-track development of Dokwe, deploying all our skills and capabilities to build up a planned annual gold production of at least 60,000 ounces of gold per annum over a thirteen-year mine life, based on the PFS. With a proven track record of discovery and delivery, Ariana is well positioned to continue building a long-term, sustainable and globally recognised gold company."

Zak Mir talks to Paul Mathieson, CEO of Amazing AI

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 14:19:20 +0000

Zak's Traders Cafe sat down with Paul Mathieson, CEO of Amazing AI, to unpack a fresh take on corporate crypto exposure — a strategy Paul describes not just as "Bitcoin treasury 2.0" but as crypto treasury 3.0.

After a turbulent few months for London-listed companies that rushed to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, Paul and I discussed why the old model is breaking down and how his team plans to approach things differently: more sophisticated, more diversified, and better protected.

Why the Bitcoin Treasury 1.0 model is fading

Earlier this year many companies followed a simple playbook: raise equity, buy Bitcoin, and hold it on the balance sheet. That headline-friendly approach produced big share price moves in May–July, but many of those gains have since evaporated — some names are down as much as 80% from their peaks. Investors and markets reacted; hype cooled. As Paul put it, the straightforward buy-and-hold crypto treasury is "pretty simple" and increasingly seen as outdated.

The problem with buy-and-hold

Heavy dilution: companies raising repeatedly to buy more crypto.
Binary exposure: full directional risk to a single asset like Bitcoin.
Market expectation vs operational reality: investors began pricing in the flaws once the euphoria passed.

Introducing Crypto Treasury 3.0: a different philosophy

Paul argues Amazing AI is moving beyond the one-dimensional treasury model by combining derivatives expertise, diversification across crypto assets, active risk management, and a profitable underlying business to fund the strategy. As Paul told me:

"I don't think it's just crypto treasury 2.0. I think it's actually 3.0. We are going beyond the basic to diversify... and more importantly managing the exposure, not just sitting there." — Paul Mathieson

Key pillars of the approach:

Derivatives-based exposure: using long-dated options and futures to gain leveraged crypto exposure while defining downside risk.
Diversification: exposure spread across multiple crypto assets rather than a single-asset bet.
Active management: protective hedges and re-protection on the way up to lock in gains.
Revenue backing: a core U.S. lending business generating strong cash flows to fund option premiums and operations.
Opportunistic M&A: potential acquisitions of failed "crypto 1.0" players to consolidate and repurpose assets.

How the derivatives strategy works — plain English

Paul drew on decades of funds management and investment banking experience to adopt option structures that can deliver asymmetric returns. The approach is not simply selling covered calls (income-focused), but more like a strangle strategy combined with targeted protection.

Strangle-like positions: buying combinations of calls and puts to profit from large moves either up or down. The structure benefits from volatility and large directional moves.
Defined downside: losses are limited to the premiums paid for options, rather than the full exposure of owning the underlying crypto outright.
Leverage potential: relatively small cash outlay on options can create very large notional exposure (Paul discussed scenarios of up to 100x notional exposure in upside cases), while premium cost caps the downside.

Paul emphasised that the firm is comfortable paying option premiums because Amazing AI has a core business able to generate predictable revenue. That changes the math: instead of raising equity constantly to buy more crypto, small capital raises can create sizable market exposure via derivatives.

Backtest results and credibility

Paul shared that he backtested his strategy over two decades and, in his words, it "never lost money" and averaged around 500% returns historically, with larger gains on upside moves. He also said the approach underpins the holdings of long-term shareholders in the company today.

While past performance and backtests are not guarantees, the claim signals the firm has applied a rigorous, experience-led framework rather than relying on speculation alone.

Differences from covered-call or simple buy-and-hold strategies

When I asked whether the approach is similar to covered-call income strategies, Paul was clear: it's materially different. Covered calls generate income by selling upside, moderating upside participation in exchange for premiums. Amazing AI’s method is designed to benefit from significant directional moves while protecting capital via paid protection.

Covered call = sell upside to earn premium, capped upside.
Strangle/option approach = pay premium for asymmetric exposure and defined loss, large upside potential if volatility or direction materialises.

Operational advantages: less dilution, more optionality

One of the practical benefits Paul highlighted is capital efficiency. Because option premiums are significantly smaller than buying the underlying outright, Amazing AI can achieve large crypto exposures from comparatively modest raises. Paul also noted he remains the major shareholder and is not interested in frequent dilution, aligning management incentives with long-term shareholders.

Additional operational levers include:

Using revenues from a U.S. lending arm (quoted rate: 59.9% on loans) to fund premium payments and operations.
Rolling and re-protecting positions as markets move to lock in gains and manage risk.
Purchasing distressed "crypto 1.0" assets or companies and converting their strategy to the new model.

Risk considerations and why diversification matters

Paul stressed that while he believes in crypto, prudent risk management matters. He mentioned edge-case risks — for example, quantum attacks or specific vulnerabilities in mining — as reasons to diversify beyond Bitcoin alone. The goal is to construct a portfolio where only a subset of holdings needs to perform for the strategy to succeed.

In short: rather than bet everything on a single outcome (Bitcoin to infinity or to zero), the approach seeks multiple asymmetric bets and defined downside exposure.

What to watch next

Over the coming months investors should watch how Amazing AI implements the strategy: the mix of option structures used, the degree of leverage taken, how the company re-protects gains as markets rise, and whether opportunistic acquisitions materialise. Also worth monitoring will be capital raises and how management balances funding the strategy with shareholder dilution.

Conclusion

The landscape for corporate crypto treasuries has shifted. Simple buy-and-hold has shown vulnerabilities in a choppy market. Amazing AI’s approach, as explained by Paul Mathieson, blends derivatives expertise, diversification, active hedging, and an operating business that helps fund premiums — an attempt to deliver asymmetric upside while capping downside.

If you’re interested in corporate crypto strategies or the evolving ways companies are gaining exposure to digital assets, this is a model worth watching: it’s about turning raw crypto exposure into a more manageable, capital-efficient, and actively managed program.

Zak Mir talks to Charles Dickson, CEO of Roadside Real Estate

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 10:07:15 +0000

We spoke with Charles Dixon, CEO of Roadside Real Estate, to unpack the company's latest moves: a strategic disposal, operational hires and an explicit push into the energy forecourt/roadside retail sector. The conversation covered why the group is simplifying its balance sheet, how the team is being strengthened, and what investors should watch for next.

Important note: Nothing in this article is investment advice. The conversation covered company strategy and balance sheet items, and Charles and others may hold positions in the shares discussed. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions.

What just happened: disposals to simplify the business

Roadside continues to streamline its portfolio to concentrate on the roadside retail and operational opportunity. Two disposal-related items are central:

In June the group announced a deal to sell the remainder of the Cambridge Sleep Sciences estate for approximately £48 million.
More recently the company announced the proposed disposal of 100% of its Commercial Property business to Tarncourt Properties Limited for an agreed price of approximately £12 million, resulting in a net consideration receivable of about £4.7 million.

Charles explained the rationale plainly: these sales further simplify the equity story, increase cash on the balance sheet and free up resources to accelerate acquisitions in the roadside retail operational space.

“...putting more cash on balance sheet, and increasing our resources for acquisitions in the roadside retail operational space.”

Sharpening the management team: experience to execute

Execution is a major focus. Roadside has been beefing up its operational bench with senior retail and roadside experience:

David Philpot has been appointed COO. He joins from running BP/M&S’s European roadside operations — a business of roughly 3,500 sites — and previously worked at Marks & Spencer running their franchise business.
Steve Carson joined in May as non-exec chair. Steve brings about 30 years of retail experience including senior roles across Sainsbury’s, Argos, Holland & Barrett and SCS.

Charles described David’s arrival as a "big win" given his direct, relevant experience. As I put it during the interview: you could almost picture him wearing a Roadside Real Estate T‑shirt — the fit is that natural.

First acquisition and the operational plan

Roadside has already completed a first acquisition under the refocused strategy. The company purchased a former petrol filling station in Coventry. The plan is to reinstate the site, build a substantially larger retail shop on the forecourt and re-open next year.

Beyond that single deal, Charles was clear about the acquisition playbook: Roadside wants to buy both the property and the operating business. The target sub-sector is the energy forecourt/roadside retail market — a highly fragmented, overlooked category that can deliver attractive returns when consolidated and professionally operated.

Expect pace: Charles indicated the group is evaluating multiple businesses and anticipates acquiring three to four businesses over the next 12 months as Roadside scales its operational footprint.

Funding the roll-up: cash, bank facilities and measured leverage

Funding for the buy-and-operate strategy will be a mix of existing cash and bank facilities. Key points Charles shared:

Roadside now has strong cash resources — over £50 million available.
They also have access to banking facilities and expect lenders to be receptive; banks like the roadside sector because security is solid, delinquency is low and cash flows are predictable.
That said, the company intends to use leverage sensibly. Charles emphasised a cautious approach: “We’re not looking to overlever ourselves.”

Valuation, ownership and what investors should think about

Charles is the company’s largest shareholder, controlling around 30% of Roadside directly and indirectly. He increased his position in May with what he described as one of the larger direct buys in the market this year.

He also offered a straightforward way to look at valuation: strip out cash from the market capitalisation to see the underlying operating valuation. From his perspective, when you take that cash off the market cap, Roadside still looks cheap and there is further upside to come.

Recent share performance: last year the stock rose over 300%, and year-to-date it was nearly up 100% at the time of our conversation.
Charles said he expects further share price growth over the coming months as the business executes its strategy.

“I control around 30% of the company directly and indirectly... take off our cash from our market cap and then look at our actual underlying market cap and we're very, very cheap still.”

Why the roadside/forecourt sector appeals

The sector ticks several boxes that make it attractive for consolidation and operational improvement:

Highly fragmented: many small operators create opportunities for roll-up scale benefits.
Operational upside: better retailing on forecourts and improved shop formats can meaningfully increase returns.
Bank-friendly cashflows: predictable, secure income streams that lenders understand and are willing to finance.

What to watch next

Key near-term items for investors and observers:

Announcements of additional acquisitions — Charles expects three to four deals in the next 12 months.
Progress on the Coventry site reinstatement and re-opening next year.
How the company deploys the proceeds from the Cambridge Sleep Sciences and Commercial Property disposals.
Any updates on financing and the level of leverage used for acquisitions.

Conclusion

Roadside Real Estate has moved decisively from being a mixed-asset property group toward a focused, buy-and-operate roadside retail business. The disposals clear the path, the balance sheet is stronger, and the hires bring the operating expertise needed to scale. If the team can execute on the planned roll-up of forecourt operators, the impact on returns and the equity story could be material.

If you want the full discussion, watch my interview with Charles Dixon for the direct comments and context. I’ll be keeping an eye on the next acquisitions and operational milestones — this is a story that should move quickly from here.

Zak Mir Speaks with Fiinu CEO Dr. Marko Sjoblom on New Strategic Partnership

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 14:42:14 +0000

Zak Mir caught up with Dr. Marko Sjoblom, Chief Executive Officer of Fiinu Plc, as the fintech company unveiled a major milestone in its growth journey.

Fiinu has announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Conister Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Manx Financial Group, to bring its innovative Plugin Overdraft® product to the UK market.

The partnership marks a significant step forward for Fiinu as it works to deliver a new kind of overdraft solution, designed to provide greater flexibility and accessibility to UK consumers.

Why this matters: unbundling a 300-year-old product

At first glance an overdraft might seem mundane — it’s a feature that’s been around for centuries. What Fiinu is attempting, however, is anything but ordinary. Dr. Sjoblom described the Plugin Overdraft® as “very revolutionary,” and with good reason: it unbundles a credit product traditionally tied to a bank account and makes it available independently to consumers through partner banks.

Having worked on overdraft-style products in the UK for 15 years, Marko emphasized that once people understand what the Plugin Overdraft® does, the reaction is strong. The product is designed to be flexible, widely accessible and to be offered through partner banks rather than requiring Fiinu itself to operate as a full retail bank in the traditional sense.

The Conister partnership — why it was chosen

Fiinu announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Conister Bank to roll out the Plugin Overdraft® in the UK. Marko highlighted several reasons Conister is an ideal launching partner:

They are nimble and able to move quickly.
They have a long track record (90 years) and a credible retail presence.
They already support products and customer bases that Fiinu can initially target — for example, Conister’s group-level payment products with over one million retail customers.
The arrangement lets Fiinu present the product as “Conister Bank’s plug-in overdraft powered by Fiinu,” combining Conister’s regulated interface with Fiinu’s technology stack.

Fiinu claims technical access to a very large potential market: they can already reach tens of millions of UK bank accounts and — via other banking partners — access up to 95% of Eurozone bank accounts. The immediate rollout will focus on Conister’s customers before scaling more broadly.

Timing and next steps

On timing, the plan remains to launch the product in Q4, and Fiinu is “still on track for that.” Marko described the team as finalizing the last pieces ahead of rollout. He also expects a steady stream of news as partnerships and deployments progress.

From regulatory setback to a new start

Fiinu’s recent history includes a painful regulatory episode. After an extended engagement with the UK regulators, the company had to surrender its bank licence in 2023 — a tough moment that prompted a strategy reset through 2024. Marko walked me through the regulatory journey in more detail:

Securing a restricted licence in 2022 required a multiyear process (around 5½ years).
Following that, Fiinu entered a mobilization period (the standard 12‑month window) with 19 conditions to satisfy before exiting mobilization.
Fiinu met 18 of the 19 conditions; the single outstanding item related to capital requirements, and they ultimately failed on that point.
Despite the licence surrender, independent audits showed Fiinu’s technology platform was robust and ready for production — a backbone for the current Conister deal.
Regulation remains strict for a reason: licences allow firms to accept deposits and lend, with potential taxpayer exposure if things go wrong. Marko is supportive of the regulator’s role even as he acknowledges the process is demanding (filings for the bank licence ran to some 4,000 pages, with the mobilization creating another ~2,500 pages).

Market reaction and Fiinu’s outlook

Market sentiment toward Fiinu has swung dramatically. Marko noted the share price has risen roughly 3,200% year‑to‑date — a swing he attributes in part to the market having “written the company off” earlier. He framed the current position as the company rising “like the phoenix from the ashes.”

He also shared a personal benchmark: a three‑year price target of 110 (his internal bonus plan target), while current levels are around 15. That comment signals considerable upside expectations from management, assuming execution and market conditions remain favourable.

What makes the Plugin Overdraft® commercially attractive?

A few elements combine to make the Plugin Overdraft® potentially lucrative:

It addresses an underserved market left behind by high street banks that have retreated from certain forms of credit.
It is integrated with partner banks’ distribution channels, allowing rapid scaling without Fiinu having to be the primary retail bank in every market.
Fiinu’s technology is positioned as a white‑label or “powered by” solution that partners can adopt quickly.

Marko’s assertion is simple: once customers and partners understand the product’s mechanics, adoption should follow — and that’s where the revenue opportunity lies.

Regulation, fintech challengers and lessons learned

We touched on comparisons with other challenger banks and fintechs that have struggled with regulators. Marko’s view is measured: yes, the entry bar is high, but that’s appropriate given the public interest in deposit safety. While the process is cumbersome and demanding, the outcome — a strong regulatory regime and careful licensing — protects consumers and the wider financial system.

""The barrier of entry is very high in the banking perimeter, but it's for a reason because ultimately they give you a license to take deposits and lend that money out.""

Conclusion — why to watch Fiinu now

Fiinu has navigated a difficult regulatory reset and come out with a clear path to market: a technically validated platform and a strategic distribution partner in Conister Bank. The Plugin Overdraft® is positioned as a unique product that unbundles an entrenched banking service, and the plan to launch in Q4 will be the first public test of that thesis.

For investors, partners and fintech watchers, the key things to monitor over the coming months are:

Execution of the Conister rollout and early consumer uptake.
Further partnerships and geography expansion, especially into Europe.
Regulatory developments or new licensing milestones that might expand Fiinu’s direct capabilities.
Market reaction as actual product metrics (customers, usage, revenues) start to appear.

If you follow fintech and embedded finance, Fiinu’s next few quarters will be telling: they’re moving from development and compliance to distribution and revenue. That shift — if executed well — could validate the Plugin Overdraft® as a genuinely disruptive product in personal credit.

Tim McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer of ImmuPharma PLC talks to Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 09:14:27 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Tim McCarthy, CEO of Immupharma, the speciality biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops peptide-based therapeutics, announcing the filing of a groundbreaking new patent application for its lead asset, P140, the world’s first “Immunormalizer.”

The three discoveries that reset the strategy

Under-dosing: The team concluded the dose used in the Phase III trial was far too low — roughly 10 to 15 times lower than the dose they now believe is required to achieve the intended biological effect.
Steroid confounding: Standard-of-care steroids given to patients in the trial suppress the immune system and masked P140’s effect. Future trials will include steroid tapering protocols so the drug’s impact isn’t obscured.
Patient stratification — “super responders”: For the first time the team identified a patient profile that responds exceptionally well to P140. That diagnostic signature is central to the patent and allows the drug to be matched to the right patients.

What P140 actually does — the Immunormalizer concept

Tim described P140 as an agent that restores immune homeostasis rather than suppressing the immune system. That’s an important distinction:

Most current therapies try to blunt or suppress immune activity (e.g., steroids or many immunomodulators), which can cause side effects and still leave patients vulnerable.
P140 appears to "normalize" the immune response — increasing or decreasing components such as B cells toward a healthy balance depending on what the patient needs.
In practice that means if a patient has excessive B-cell activity, P140 reduces it; if a patient has deficient activity, P140 can boost it — a balancing action not commonly seen in current treatments.

"“We’ve coined the phrase ‘Immunormalizer’ — it brings the immune system back to normal homeostasis rather than simply suppressing it.”"

Safety profile that matters

Across preclinical studies, Phase I/II and the Phase III programme, P140 demonstrated an unusually clean safety record: no serious adverse events and very few side effects. Tim highlighted this as a major reason the team pursued the diagnostic-plus-therapeutic patent: a safe mechanism that can be targeted precisely.

The diagnostic: identifying “Type M” immune disorder patients and super responders

One of the most exciting elements of the patent is the combination of a diagnostic test with the therapeutic. The diagnostic identifies patients with what ImmuPharma calls a “Type M” immune disorder — those who are likely to be super responders to P140.

This stratification means future clinical trials will enroll patients who have the biomarker profile most likely to benefit, improving the chance of clear, positive outcomes.
The diagnostic is precise enough that it could identify at-risk patients even before symptoms appear, enabling earlier intervention.
Tim suggested it could potentially be incorporated into routine health checks, allowing doctors to pick up vulnerability to autoimmune disease much earlier than current practice permits.

"“We can identify those patients that are responding to P140 and identify them as the Type M patients before they’re even getting the disease.”"

Clinical path forward: higher doses, steroid tapering, targeted enrolment

Building on the three discoveries, the next clinical plan is straightforward:

Use higher dosing (10–15× what was used previously) to reach therapeutic exposure.
Incorporate steroid tapering in trial protocols to avoid immune suppression masking the drug’s effect.
Enroll biomarker-positive “Type M” patients (super responders) to maximise the chance of demonstrating efficacy.

These changes address the confounders that affected the earlier trial and are supported by additional preclinical work that underpinned the patent filing.

From lupus to a broad autoimmune opportunity

Although P140’s clinical history has focused on lupus, Tim explained the mechanism is broadly applicable across autoimmune diseases — there are around 50 recognised autoimmune conditions. The key is that within each disease there are subsets of patients who match the Type M profile and may respond to P140.

That opens a large commercial and clinical opportunity: diagnose earlier, treat the right patients, and potentially prevent disease development. Tim compared the potential impact to other recent transformative therapies in adjacent areas — stressing that the market opportunity and patient benefit could be enormous.

Commercial strategy: partners, patents and deals

ImmuPharma’s plan is to partner with larger pharma companies for development and global reach. Tim said discussions with multiple big pharma partners were already underway prior to the patent filing and that the patent has catalysed deeper interest.

Filing the patent helps validate the science for prospective partners and allows confidential due diligence to proceed.
Tim expects deals (or multiple deals) to be closed before the end of the year, saying that talks are advanced and partners recognise the uniqueness of this technology.
Big pharma has been actively seeking assets in autoimmunity; an asset that combines a precise diagnostic with a safe, disease-normalizing therapeutic is particularly attractive.

Where ImmuPharma stands financially

Tim confirmed that cash is not an immediate concern. A recent exercise of warrants brought additional funds into the company, and he expects partner deals to provide substantial commercial funding moving forward. He said the company is comfortably funded into the second half of next year and is focused on closing partnership deals to accelerate development.

How the team feels — the CEO’s perspective

After years of internal restructuring, new leadership, and focused scientific work, Tim was candid about the excitement in the team. On a 1–10 scale he jokingly put himself at an 11, reflecting the belief he and the team have in the uniqueness and transformative potential of P140.

"“I’ve been in this business a long time, and I’ve never been in this position… this is absolutely unique.”"

Key takeaways

P140 is now positioned as an “Immunormalizer” that restores immune balance rather than suppressing it.
The newly filed patent covers both a precise diagnostic and the therapeutic use, enabling targeted treatment of “Type M” patients (super responders).
Past Phase III results are being reinterpreted: dose was too low, steroids confounded outcomes, and patients were not stratified.
Next clinical steps include higher dosing, steroid tapering, and biomarker-based patient selection.
ImmuPharma expects partnership discussions to convert into deals before year-end; cash position is secure for now.
If validated clinically, P140 could be transformative across many autoimmune diseases and could even be used proactively to prevent disease in at-risk individuals.

Final thoughts

The combination of a novel mechanism, a strong safety profile, and a companion diagnostic makes ImmuPharma’s P140 a story worth following. If the team’s scientific conclusions hold up in controlled trials with the new dosing and patient selection strategy, P140 could represent a step-change in how autoimmune diseases are diagnosed and treated.

If you care about developments in autoimmune therapy, keep an eye on partnership announcements and upcoming clinical designs from ImmuPharma — this is one of those rare biotech stories that blends scientific curiosity, hard data re-evaluation, and the potential for genuine patient impact.

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer of Ajax Resources Plc

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 19:06:15 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, in the wake of this week's announcements of the completion of the acquisition of the La Norteña Licence area and the agreed terms to conditionally acquire a 74.75% interest in the Paguanta Project, a copper-gold project.

Ajax Resources PLC (AQSE: AJAX) has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a 74.75% interest in the Paguanta Project (“Paguanta”), a copper-gold project located in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile, from Asara Resources Ltd, an ASX-listed company.

Paguanta is an advanced exploration-stage polymetallic project historically recognised for its silver production. It hosts substantial mineral resources in silver, zinc and lead, with further identified potential for copper and gold. The project area comprises 14 exploitation concessions and 14 pending exploration concession applications, together covering approximately 7,800 hectares.

Under the terms of the Acquisition:

· The parties have until 25 November 2025 to negotiate final contractual terms of the contract and complete ("Completion").

· Ajax will undertake its due diligence prior to Completion.

· Ajax may terminate the Agreement prior to Completion at no cost if the results of the due diligence are unsatisfactory.

· The Acquisition will consist of the purchase of 100% of the share capital of Paguanta Resources (Chile) SpA, which in turn owns 74.75% of the share capital of Compania Minera Paguanta SA, which owns the Paguanta Project. Both companies are incorporated in Chile.

· On Acquisition, both companies will be free of outstanding debt, other than debts novated to Ajax by the Vendor.

The consideration for the Acquisition, should it proceed, will be:

· Within 15 days of Completion:

o US$50,000 in cash; and

o US$100,000 in Ajax ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), calculated at the 7-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) prior to issue.

· A further US$500,000 to be payable upon the definition of a proved reserve exceeding 25 million tonnes at ≥5% zinc equivalent.

· A further US $500,000 to be payable upon the definition of a proved reserve exceeding 5 million tonnes of copper.

· The vendor will retain a 1% net smelter royalty, commencing on the first anniversary of production operations at Paguanta, capped at a maximum amount of US$850,000 and subject to the average zinc price during the preceding two quarters exceeding US$2,600 per metric tonne.

The principal zone of value within Paguanta is the Patricia Prospect, which has been the subject of the most extensive exploration to date. Patricia contains a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 6.8 million ounces of silver, 265 million pounds of zinc, and 74 million pounds of lead. Importantly, these resources remain open at depth and along strike, providing significant potential for further expansion.

At present, the Vendor maintains Paguanta on a care and maintenance basis, while its operational focus remains directed toward its West African portfolio.

Zak Mir talks to Segun Lawson, President & CEO of Thor Explorations

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 16:30:04 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Segun Lawson, President & CEO of Thor Explorations, in the wake of the recent announcement that the West African-focused minerals exploration and mining Company, which is currently producing gold from its wholly owned Segilola Gold Mine in Nigeria and is advancing its exploration properties in Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire. They include the Douta Gold Project in Senegal which is being advanced towards development.

We delved into the company’s current priorities, the recent high-grade mineralisation intersected at Segilola (its flagship mine in Nigeria), and the broader growth story across West Africa — including projects in Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire. Below, I summarise the key takeaways, numbers and strategy Segun shared, and what it means for Thor’s investors.

Why Segilola remains the priority

Segilola is Thor’s cash cow. Segun made it clear that the company’s main focus this year is extending the mine life at Segilola because each additional year of production at current metrics is highly value‑creative.

Segilola is already one of the lower cost gold mines globally for Thor; the company has fully repaid senior debt and is building cash monthly.
Current production averages around 85,000 ounces per year.
All‑in sustaining costs (AISC) are running at just under $1,000 per ounce.

Segun put the economics in stark terms: at a gold price around $3,000/oz and the production/AISC profile above, every additional year of mine life translates into substantial free cash flow, which he described as “north of $100 million of free cash for every additional year” added to the bottom line.

Actions underway to grow resource and life of mine

Thor isn’t relying on hope — they’ve been actively investing to find more ounces and accelerate drilling:

Increased exploration budget for Nigeria.
Purchased new drilling rigs to speed up the pace of drilling.
Completed structural studies over the last few years to better target mineralized zones.

Segun emphasized that with the mine’s strong margins, “every additional ounce of gold we find now is hugely value creative.”

Where Thor stands financially and why it may not be “too late”

Thor’s share price has performed strongly — up roughly 2x year‑to‑date at the time of our discussion — and Segun addressed an obvious investor question: is it too late to get in?

"“I don't think so. Our values are underpinned by our production and existing mine life. If we were, in the unlikely event, not to find another ounce of gold, we would still generate very strong cash. We are paying a dividend at the moment over the next two years and we are delivering value to shareholders just based on our existing project.”"

In short: Thor already generates strong cash flow from Segilola, has a clean balance sheet after repaying senior debt, and is returning capital to shareholders. That base case gives investors downside protection while the company pursues upside through exploration and development.

Development and exploration pipeline: Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire

Segun highlighted two key growth pillars beyond Nigeria:

Senegal (Douta and related assets)

The Douta project is advancing through a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) expected to be completed soon; this will be the first time a formal set of economics are published for the asset.
Segun described Douta as materially larger in terms of ounces than what Thor currently produces in Nigeria and expects a mine life north of 10 years, although at a lower grade and hence likely a lower margin compared to Segilola.
The PFS is viewed as a significant rerating opportunity for the company once economics are released.

Côte d’Ivoire (early stage and near‑term drilling)

Thor entered Côte d’Ivoire in 2024 and has started reporting drilling results.
Segun noted encouraging results at the company’s Guichi (100% owned) project and mentioned an earlier‑stage target, Maravei, where they plan to start drilling later in Q3 and continue through year‑end.
This jurisdiction provides “blue sky” exploration upside and a portfolio of targets at different stages of maturity.

Why these jurisdictions — and why Thor’s approach works

Thor operates in Nigeria, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire — three very different operating landscapes, but Segun argued each has strong merits:

Nigeria: Thor built the first (and so far only) large‑scale gold mine in the country. Rather than viewing Nigeria as an exotic, risky jurisdiction, Segun points out that it’s a sophisticated economy with large amounts of foreign direct investment across sectors, a skilled workforce, and a mining code that allows 100% project ownership, tax holidays and repatriation of foreign exchange.
Senegal: A proven mining jurisdiction with existing producing mines and projects under development. Strong local geological expertise and government institutions make it straightforward to operate there.
Côte d’Ivoire: One of West Africa’s success stories in moving projects from exploration to production; the country hosts many recent and active mine developments.

Segun believes Thor’s early mover status in Nigeria gave the company a blueprint and operational learnings that are transferable as they expand elsewhere.

Investor takeaways

Base case strength: Segilola is producing cash at attractive margins and the company is debt‑free at the senior level while paying dividends — that reduces investment risk.
High leverage to exploration success: Extending Segilola’s mine life materially increases free cash flow and shareholder value; Thor has increased exploration spend and drilling capacity to deliver that growth.
Portfolio growth: The Douta PFS in Senegal is a near‑term milestone that could unlock meaningful rerating potential, and Côte d’Ivoire provides additional exploration upside.
Jurisdiction risk: While some investors may perceive Nigeria as risky, Segun argues the country offers significant upside and has the regulatory framework and skills to support mining operations.

Conclusion

Thor Explorations today is a company with a strong, cash‑generating operation at Segilola and an active program to extend that mine life — a move that, at current gold prices and production metrics, translates into substantial free cash per added year. At the same time, Thor is advancing a development project in Senegal and building an early‑stage portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire. That combination of cash flow, dividends, near‑term development catalysts and exploration upside is what Segun argues makes Thor compelling today.

If you’re tracking junior producers and developers in West Africa, Thor is a name worth watching: they already produce, they’re paying shareholders, and they’re investing to create more ounces and more years of production.

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Interim Chairman, Hydrogen Utopia International

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 15:59:01 +0000

Zak's Traders Cafe spoke with Howard White, interim chairman of Hydrogen Utopia International, about a significant strategic pivot: moving from a focus on hydrogen for transportation to supplying ultra-low-cost, "super green" hydrogen to heavy industry in the GCC.

What follows is a clear-eyed look at the technology, the economics, the environmental opportunity, and the commercial plan Daniel and I discussed with Howard.

Why the pivot from vehicles to industry?

Hydrogen for cars, trucks and buses has been promised for years but growth is still modest. As Howard pointed out, there are fewer than 100,000 hydrogen vehicles worldwide today, with roughly 70% of them in the Far East. At small scale, hydrogen is expensive—which makes it a weak competitor to petrol, diesel and even electricity for most road transport applications.

That reality prompted Hydrogen Utopia to take a fresh look at where hydrogen demand is both large and price-sensitive: heavy industry. Cement and steel plants are enormous energy consumers and major CO2 emitters. A typical, reasonably sized cement plant could take on the order of 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. If hydrogen can be provided at a price close to natural gas, industry can decarbonize at scale.

The Inentech advantage: TRL9, modular and proven

Hydrogen Utopia has secured exclusive access to Inentech technology—a process with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 9 , meaning it is fully commercialized and proven. Importantly, the company is modularizing the technology to match the operational scale of industrial customers. Rather than building massive single plants, the approach is to deploy multiple modular facilities collocated with cement or steel plants.

""We have been running [this technology] for 20 years and fully operational for 13 years.""

That operational history is critical: it reduces deployment risk and allows Hydrogen Utopia to offer long-term offtake agreements and predictable pricing for industrial customers.

Target pricing: super green hydrogen at about 1.5 cents/kg

Perhaps the most striking claim Howard made is the target delivered hydrogen price: about 1.5 cents per kilogram (in certain GCC countries, supported by grants and interest-free loans). At that level, hydrogen becomes highly competitive with natural gas for many industrial uses.

Key enablers of this ultra-low cost are:

Using non-recyclable mixed waste (including plastics, tyres and oil sludge) as feedstock.
Modular, proven Inentech deployments co-located with customers—eliminating hydrogen transport costs.
Financial support in the GCC for "super green" hydrogen projects (grants, favourable financing), which conventional renewables-to-electrolyser projects may not receive.

Waste-to-hydrogen: scale and environmental benefits

The process not only produces hydrogen, it also destroys problematic plastic additives and toxic contaminants that traditional recycling and incineration do not address. Howard highlighted several environmental advantages:

Destruction of tens of thousands of pollutants added to plastics (PFAS and other additives).
Ability to process large volumes—one facility could consume roughly 250,000 tonnes of mixed waste plastics per year . Four such facilities would process 1 million tonnes annually.
Co-processing of tyres and oil sludge, addressing difficult waste streams (Howard referenced the large tyre stockpiles in Kuwait as an example).

""Plastic is fantastic and it is a material that they should be allowed to produce as much as they want as long as they do something about the destruction of it.""

Revenue model: hydrogen, CO2, fees and credits

Hydrogen Utopia expects multiple revenue streams from each deployment:

Hydrogen sales —long-term offtake agreements with cement and steel plants (30-year contracts are the target).
CO2 sales for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) —in the GCC, CO2 has market value for boosting production from mature fields.
Management fees —Hydrogen Utopia plans to run each project as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and earn fees/ownership percentages.
Carbon credits —deployments will generate significant CO2 savings and may qualify for credits.

Howard expects each SPV to be comfortably profitable (internal rates of return in the high teens), even at the low hydrogen price point. The company will take a conservative, staged approach: secure non-binding offtake LOIs first, then raise project financing supported by LOIs and regional funders.

Market focus: GCC first, regulatory tailwinds

The GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and other Gulf states) is Hydrogen Utopia’s primary target market. Reasons include:

Large industrial clusters (cement, steel, petrochemicals) with substantial hydrogen demand.
Regional policymakers offering grants and concessional financing for waste-to-hydrogen "super green" projects.
Existing demand for CO2 in EOR operations.

Howard is optimistic that with the right legislation—such as mandatory separation of plastics—the feedstock supply challenge could be addressed quickly. He expects government and oil-company interest (including state majors like Saudi Aramco and regional sovereign projects) as a pragmatic alternative to international attempts at capping plastics production.

Commercial approach and risk management

Hydrogen Utopia plans to:

Deploy projects as SPVs collocated with customers to avoid hydrogen transport and simplify integration.
Secure long-term offtakes (30 years) with gradual pricing: slightly higher in the first five years, stable and low thereafter.
Leverage grants and interest-free lending available for waste-to-hydrogen solutions in the region.
Start modestly and scale pragmatically—no "ask us for half a billion dollars up front" approach.

What success looks like

In Howard’s view, a small number of well-placed facilities in the GCC could make a substantial dent in both hydrogen cost curves and global plastic pollution. A handful of 250,000-ton-per-year waste-processing facilities would divert massive volumes of waste from landfills and oceans while producing competitively priced hydrogen for decarbonizing heavy industry.

He also stressed the broader strategic appeal: for oil majors and national oil companies, investing in waste-to-hydrogen can soften the political and reputational pressure arising from plastic production, while providing new revenue streams.

Outlook and next steps

Hydrogen Utopia is now focused on signing LOIs and offtake agreements with cement and steel producers in the GCC, structuring SPVs for projects, and engaging regional funders who are keen to support super green hydrogen. The combination of a proven TRL9 technology, modular deployment, strong regional incentives, and multiple revenue streams makes this a high-conviction pivot for the company.

Conclusion

The story here is pragmatic: use a proven industrial technology to turn problem waste into a valuable decarbonization feedstock at scale. By targeting large, price-sensitive industrial consumers in the GCC and pairing modular Inentech plants with favourable financing and policy support, Hydrogen Utopia aims to deliver hydrogen at a price that changes the equation for heavy industry decarbonization.

If successful, the model could both undercut the cost barriers facing hydrogen adoption in industry and create a sizable new pathway for responsibly destroying mixed, non-recyclable plastics and other hazardous waste.

Panther Metals (LON: PALM) Bitcoin, Tailings, and a High-Conviction Pivot

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 08:22:12 +0000

In a recent conversation with Zak Mir from Zak’s Traders Café, Panther Metals CEO Darren Hazelwood outlined a strategy unlike any other in the London junior market.

The company is not only pursuing brownfield exploration and development in Canada but is also in the process of building out a Bitcoin-backed treasury to avoid dilution, unlock alternative financing, and position itself at the convergence of digital capital and physical assets.

Panther’s evolution over the past two months reflects a rare attempt to bring the benefits of crypto-native capital models into the resource sector. Hazelwood’s goal is clear: to monetise assets, fund development, and protect shareholder value without relying on traditional equity issuance. Whether through tailings cash flow or Bitcoin leverage, Panther is moving with speed and conviction.

A Different Kind of Treasury

On June 23rd, 2025, Panther announced its intention to build a Bitcoin-backed treasury strategy, initially planning to raise up to £4 million via warrant exercises and a traditional equity raise. This treasury would be used both as a long-term balance sheet asset and as collateral to secure strategic acquisitions such as the Pick Lake deposit.

A follow-up RNS on July 30th, 2025 clarified a pivot in this approach. Panther confirmed it would no longer pursue a conventional public raise. Instead, it is developing a Bitcoin-to-equity subscription mechanism. Under this model, investors will be able to subscribe for new shares using Bitcoin. The BTC will be converted into GBP immediately prior to settlement, with Panther then repurchasing Bitcoin on-market to maintain treasury exposure.

While this still results in dilution, as new shares are issued, it avoids the significant costs typically associated with small-cap placings: no discounting, no broker fees, and no warrants. The strategy aims to maximise capital efficiency and align long-term value creation with Panther’s digital-physical asset blend.

“It’s a company that’s moving towards cash-generative activities that will enable us to build our BTC treasury as we go along that curve,” Hazelwood said in the podcast. “We become a natural hedge between the fiat world and the crypto space… all of our commodities are priced and traded in fiat currency. So we sit between the two.”

Panther is operationalising this structure with CoinCorner Ltd, a Bitcoin services provider based in the Isle of Man, and Evoke Solutions, a UK-based advisory firm, to ensure secure custody, regulatory compliance, and governance standards.

From Ontario to Dubai

The treasury strategy is not confined to Panther’s London listing. Hazelwood revealed that the company is actively exploring a regulatory base in Dubai, where cryptocurrency ownership per capita is among the highest globally. Calling it “the new Istanbul… a gateway between East and West,” he highlighted the city’s appeal for traders, its favourable tax framework, and its increasing status as a bridge between fiat and decentralised capital. The move was flagged again in Panther’s July 30th treasury update, where the company also reiterated its focus on maintaining regulatory clarity while expanding its investor base.

Back to the Rock

While Panther’s Bitcoin pivot has drawn significant attention, the company’s exploration assets are also showing near-term value. On 31st July, Panther published results from its initial sampling of the Winston tailings in Ontario. The announcement reported high-grade material including 0.814 grams per tonne gold, 21.9 grams per tonne silver, 2.20 percent zinc, 0.20 percent copper, 496 ppm cobalt, and 122 ppm gallium.

These findings validate historical assumptions from the 1980s and 1990s, when the original operators focused exclusively on zinc. “Now that gold, if it was in the deposit… it had to have gone in the tailings,” Hazelwood told Zak Mir. “We knew we were only going to scrape the very surface… the grades were phenomenal.”

Crucially, the Winston site is a brownfield location with existing infrastructure, including power, roads, fencing, and water handling. The 2021 feasibility study for the adjacent Pick Lake deposit, which hosts the bulk of the Winston Project’s resource, valued the site at a pre-tax NPV of C$176 million using conservative pricing assumptions. This setup allows for a near-term cashflow opportunity, with the potential to fund construction of a full processing plant, without diluting shareholders.

Managing the Capital Stack

Hazelwood believes that combining tailings cashflow with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet could allow Panther to secure longer-duration debt on improved terms. “There is definitely the potential that this could build the mine, pay for our exploration, and everything else around the site,” he said. The company expects to release further test work results and an engineering review in the coming weeks to advance this thesis. Panther previously confirmed the sampling programme in early July.

Insider Commitment

Confidence in the strategy is not limited to public statements. On 30th June, Panther disclosed that CEO Darren Hazelwood and Chairman Nicholas O’Reilly had subscribed for a combined £132,000 of new shares at 69 pence, increasing their holdings to 7.06 percent and 1.91 percent respectively. Both purchases were made at or above prevailing market prices at time of purchase ,underscoring belief in Panther’s direction and underlying asset value.

Despite this progress, the company’s market capitalisation remains around £5 million. Hazelwood noted in the interview that such a low valuation leaves Panther exposed. “This is a very, very clear story now,” he said. “It’s easy to understand. I guess my biggest fear would be a potential takeover of us where we currently sit.”

A Model in Motion

Panther’s attempt to straddle the worlds of resource development and decentralised finance is ambitious. The Bitcoin-for-equity mechanism still needs to pass regulatory review, and Winston tailings economics must be validated through formal metallurgical analysis. But with clear execution on its early-stage promises, a strong management stake, and a capital model designed to reduce dilution, Panther may be pioneering a new playbook for junior resource companies.

As Hazelwood put it, “It’s all happening at Panther.” Investors may want to pay attention, before the story gets priced in.

V3TC’s strategic vision for market leadership
Capital backing from Aura & new investors ₿ Bitcoin as a core treasury asset
Building a world-class team

Rebranding and Expanding Market Presence

Vaultz plans a forthcoming rebrand to broaden its appeal and communicate its mission more effectively. The goal is to become a household name synonymous with Bitcoin adoption and treasury strategy — a brand that resonates across generations, from retail investors to institutional players.

David Craven explained that this rebranding will help lower barriers to entry, creating simplicity and safety for all types of investors. Vaultz aims to be the go-to platform for anyone interested in Bitcoin treasury management, whether or not they personally hold Bitcoin.

Global Ambitions and Capital Support

While the UK market is the initial focus, Vaultz has its sights set on global expansion. Partnerships with key US investors and other international stakeholders are already in discussion, positioning Vaultz to become a global leader.

Capital raising is central to this growth plan. Vaultz recently closed a funding round and intends to continue raising capital to support Bitcoin accumulation and operational expansion. Their strategy involves engaging retail, institutional, and high-net-worth investors to build a robust equity base.

Why Vaultz Capital Stands Out

The combination of a clear strategic focus, a strong leadership team, and solid capital backing makes Vaultz a compelling player in the Bitcoin treasury space. David Craven summed up the opportunity by reflecting on the extraordinary growth of Bitcoin since its early days:

""In 2010, 10,000 Bitcoin would have bought you two pizzas. Today, 10,000 Bitcoin is worth around 850 million pounds. It is astonishing the performance of the asset class.""

This staggering growth underpins Vaultz’s mission to accumulate Bitcoin as a store of value, continuously raise capital, and execute relentlessly to achieve market leadership.

Looking Ahead: What to Expect from Vaultz Capital

Vaultz Capital is on a fast track to establish itself firmly in the Bitcoin treasury landscape. Key upcoming developments include:

Rebranding to enhance market presence and brand recognition.
Additional capital raises to fuel further Bitcoin accumulation.
Expansion into new markets to increase liquidity and investor participation.
Strengthening the team and advisory board to support growth and innovation.

With a seasoned leadership team, strategic clarity, and a commitment to responsible growth, Vaultz is set to become a major force in the digital asset ecosystem, driving Bitcoin adoption and reshaping treasury management for the future.

Stay tuned as Vaultz Capital continues to build momentum and redefine what it means to be a Bitcoin treasury leader.

Zak Mir talks to Nick Thurlow, Executive Chairman of Hamak Gold

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 10:08:03 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Nick Thurlow, Executive Chairman, Hamak Gold, following the announcement of the acquisition of 20 Bitcoin as part of its broader capital allocation and treasury management strategy. This move marks the Company’s first foray into digital asset investment and reflects a proactive approach to value creation and balance sheet optimisation.

Hamak Gold’s Transformation: A New Chapter Begins

Since early July, Hamak Gold has undergone a notable transformation. Nick Thurlow, along with a group of experienced professionals, took over the company and raised £2.4 million to build on the existing business while integrating a digital asset treasury component. This strategic pivot aims to capitalise on the growing interest and institutional demand for crypto assets, particularly within the UK market, which Nick describes as “massively underweight” in this area.

Nick highlights that the goal is to position Hamak Gold as a bridge for investors—especially institutions—to gain exposure to digital assets through a regulated and well-structured vehicle on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). This approach seeks to address the gap in the market where many investors remain cautious or underserved in the crypto space.

Hamak Gold’s Twin Bet: West African Discovery Meets Bitcoin Treasury Pivot

What Sets Hamak Gold Apart in the Digital Asset Space?

While many companies have recently jumped onto the digital asset bandwagon, Hamak Gold distinguishes itself through a combination of experienced management, a robust strategy, and a long-term value creation mindset. Nick emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation with the right partners, including lawyers, auditors, bankers, and regulated advisors, to navigate the complexities of institutional investment.

Nick’s background in tier-one banks, asset management, and family office investing underpins Hammock’s strategic approach. The company aims to serve not only retail investors but also to attract larger institutional capital by demonstrating disciplined risk management and governance. This foundation is crucial for managing the volatility and rumors that often accompany emerging asset classes, as Nick advises investors to remain patient through the inevitable swings.

Embracing Flexibility in Digital Asset Treasury Management

One of the most compelling aspects of Hamak Gold’s strategy is its flexibility. Nick draws on his extensive treasury experience to stress that holding a single asset is rarely a prudent risk management strategy. The company’s digital asset treasury policy, which Nick refers to as “Bitcoin Treasury 2.0,” aims to evolve beyond the pioneering efforts of firms like MicroStrategy by incorporating broader asset diversification and dynamic risk management. Hamak is assembling a team of world-renowned advisors, including Dr. Arthur Laffer, to navigate the next five years of this rapidly changing space.

Addressing Market Volatility and Investor Concerns

Nick acknowledges that the company’s rapid share price appreciation—up 10x since the start of the year and 43% in a single week—has brought increased market scrutiny and volatility. This volatility is a natural part of being a growing company in a nascent market. Nick explains that reaching a larger scale, with a balance sheet of £50-100 million, will help stabilize price swings and reduce rumor-driven fluctuations. Until then, investor confidence and understanding are paramount.

The Future of Digital Assets and Hamak Gold’s Role

Looking ahead, Nick sees digital assets fundamentally reshaping how investors manage portfolios and how financial markets operate. He points to recent innovations like Robinhood’s use of blockchain technology to enable 24/7 retail trading, illustrating how digital assets and blockchain will revolutionize traditional finance.

Nick concludes with a strong conviction that digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, are becoming a fundamental reserve currency worldwide. Hamak Gold is well-positioned to be at the forefront of this transition, combining traditional financial rigor with innovative digital asset strategies.

Conclusion

Hamak Gold’s bold move into digital asset treasury management represents a strategic evolution grounded in experience, discipline, and adaptability. Under the leadership of Nick Thurlow, the company is not just following the crypto trend but aiming to set new standards for institutional-grade digital asset investment in the UK and beyond.

For investors looking to understand how traditional asset management expertise can intersect with the future of digital finance, Hamak Gold offers a compelling case study. As the digital asset landscape continues to evolve, Hammock’s journey will be one to watch closely.

Zak Mir talks to Malcolm Palle, Executive Chairman of Coinsilium Group Limited

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 14:25:02 +0000

Coinsilium's Strategic Approach to Bitcoin Treasury Management
Zak Mir talks to Malcolm Palle, Executive Chairman of Coinsilium, as the Aquis-quoted digital asset investor and venture builder provides an update on its Bitcoin treasury activity and that of its wholly owned Gibraltar subsidiary, Forza Gibraltar Limited, established to implement the company’s dedicated Bitcoin-focused treasury operations.
Palle describes the progress of Coinsilium over the recent Bitcoin Treasury Strategy boom and how the company's experience in the digital space is a key differentiator.

Raising Capital and Deploying Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Malcolm highlights that Coinsilium’s Bitcoin treasury strategy is built on three essential pillars: raising capital, purchasing Bitcoin, and communicating these developments to shareholders and the market. The company’s ability to acquire Bitcoin is directly tied to the funds raised, and despite the challenges presented by the UK market—particularly compared to the more mature US ecosystem—Coinsilium remains optimistic about its growth trajectory.

Recently, Coinsilium completed a £5 million placing alongside a £510,000 wrap with Winterflood, which was significantly oversubscribed. This marks the company’s largest fundraising effort to date, underscoring strong investor confidence. Importantly, all new funds raised are dedicated almost exclusively to Bitcoin purchases, with only minimal allocation for working capital and no other investments outside the core focus.

In addition to the fresh capital raise, Coinsilium acquired approximately 12 more Bitcoin from its existing resources, bringing the total to 124 Bitcoin as of mid-2024. Malcolm anticipates that following the deployment of the new funds, the company’s Bitcoin holdings could increase by nearly 50%, a substantial boost that will further cement Coinsilium’s position as a leverage play on Bitcoin.

Navigating Market Volatility and Funding Dynamics

Malcolm candidly acknowledges the turbulent market conditions, likening the current environment to flying a plane through heavy turbulence. Despite this, he advises investors to maintain a long-term perspective, focusing on the broader horizon rather than short-term market noise. The dynamic nature of funding availability and market capitalization impacts Coinsilium’s ability to raise capital, but recent developments such as Oak Securities’ launch of a dedicated digital asset fund provide encouraging signs of growing institutional support.

Coinsilium’s lean operational structure—without large teams or costly offices—means that a smaller proportion of funds raised must be allocated to overheads. This efficiency allows more capital to be directed toward Bitcoin acquisition, further reinforcing the company’s core treasury strategy.

What Differentiates Coinsilium in a Crowded Market

With an increasing number of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies, Malcolm stresses the importance of experience and a well-defined approach. Coinsilium’s long-standing presence in the digital asset space provides a strong foundation, contrasting with many newer entrants who may lack a robust strategy or the ability to sustain funding over multiple raises.

He urges investors and companies alike to conduct thorough research before entering this space. Holding some Bitcoin on a balance sheet is not sufficient; a company’s roadmap, treasury policy, and strategic vision must be carefully examined. Coinsilium’s publicly available Bitcoin treasury policy outlines its objectives and methodology, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the company’s commitment to this space.

Malcolm also highlights the importance of understanding the concept of a leverage play on Bitcoin. Investors often evaluate companies based on the "MNAV" (multiple of net asset value), which functions similarly to a price-to-earnings ratio in traditional equity markets. This metric helps determine whether a company’s valuation is justified by its Bitcoin holdings and growth prospects.

Regulatory and Structural Considerations in the UK

Unlike some US counterparts, UK companies face additional regulatory complexities when structuring Bitcoin treasury operations. Companies cannot simply exist as entities that hold Bitcoin; they must have underlying business activities that differentiate them from passive holders or trackers of cryptocurrency value. Coinsilium meets these requirements through its diversified investments and operational ventures, including its wholly owned Gibraltar subsidiary, Forza Gibraltar Limited, which focuses on Bitcoin treasury operations.

These regulatory nuances add a layer of complexity but also contribute to the credibility and sustainability of companies like Coinsilium in the UK market. As the regulatory environment evolves, Malcolm remains hopeful that conditions will become even more conducive to growth in this sector.

Looking Ahead: Continued Growth and Market Engagement

Coinsilium is poised to continue its momentum, with several announcements planned over the summer to keep the growth flywheel turning. The company’s strategy of raising capital, acquiring Bitcoin, and communicating progress is expected to persist as market conditions stabilize and institutional involvement deepens.

Malcolm’s final message for investors is one of cautious optimism: despite volatility and funding challenges, Coinsilium’s disciplined approach and deep experience position it well to capitalize on the expanding Bitcoin treasury strategy landscape.

Conclusion

Coinsilium’s journey in the Bitcoin treasury space exemplifies a measured, strategic approach to digital asset investment. By focusing on sustainable fundraising, disciplined Bitcoin acquisition, and clear communication, the company offers a compelling value proposition amid a rapidly evolving market. Investors and observers looking to understand the nuances of Bitcoin treasury strategies would do well to consider Coinsilium’s experience and operational rigor as a benchmark in this burgeoning sector.

For those interested in learning more about Coinsilium and its strategy, exploring the company’s detailed Bitcoin treasury policy and staying attuned to upcoming announcements will provide deeper insights into its vision and execution.

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Interim Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia International PLC

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 10:19:50 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Interim Chairman, Hydrogen Utopia, as the pioneer in transforming non-recyclable mixed waste into clean hydrogen, announces that it has now signed a binding outline agreement with InEnTec Inc. covering the MENA region.

From Challenges to Opportunities: The Strategic Pivot

Hydrogen Utopia’s journey has not been without hurdles. Initially, the company followed the European Union’s ambitious hydrogen initiatives, investing heavily in technology development. However, as Howard White explains, the EU’s regulatory environment proved restrictive and slow-moving, with limited progress despite substantial efforts and resources. White reflects on this experience candidly, acknowledging the shared sacrifices made by shareholders and leadership alike.

“When you bang your head against the wall long enough and it hurts, you stop banging your head against the wall and you look for something else.”

This realization led Hydrogen Utopia to refocus on the MENA region, particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where governments are eager to invest in proven, scalable solutions. Unlike the EU, these countries prioritize technologies with demonstrated operational success, ready to back large-scale projects with billions of dollars in funding.

Leveraging Proven Technology with InEnTec Partnership

A major milestone for Hydrogen Utopia is its partnership with InEnTec Inc., a company with a fully operational, full-scale system running in the United States for over 13 years. This technology, which converts mixed waste into hydrogen at high temperatures (around 2,500°C), offers a tangible, low-risk solution that GCC nations can confidently adopt.

White emphasizes the importance of this technology readiness level 9 (TRL9) status, explaining that it allows Hydrogen Utopia to present not just a concept but a working model to potential clients, significantly reducing investment risk.

“They want to see something that works. They want to go and look at it and then they want to put the money in it.”

This readiness is critical in a region where timeframes for project approval and construction are much shorter than in Europe, enabling rapid deployment and operation.

Decarbonizing Construction and Waste Management

One of the most promising applications for Hydrogen Utopia’s technology lies in the decarbonization of the construction industry, which is booming in the MENA region. Cement production, a major source of CO2 emissions, traditionally relies on coal, natural gas, and waste materials such as tires and plastics as fuel sources. Hydrogen Utopia’s solution offers a way to replace these carbon-intensive fuels with clean hydrogen produced locally, right next to cement plants.

White highlights the scale of this opportunity:

There are 47 cement plants in Saudi Arabia alone.
Each ton of cement requires approximately 15 kilograms of hydrogen.
The region’s cement production runs into millions of tons annually.

Producing hydrogen onsite avoids the high costs and inefficiencies associated with transporting hydrogen from distant solar-powered electrolysis plants, which can more than double the price. Hydrogen Utopia’s approach can deliver low-carbon hydrogen at approximately $4.50 to $5 per kilogram, making it economically competitive.

Moreover, the technology can process challenging waste streams such as tires and plastics by breaking them down to their molecular components. This process not only generates hydrogen but also produces clean CO2 suitable for carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS).

Carbon Capture and Enhanced Oil Recovery

Hydrogen Utopia’s system includes a gas water shift process that doubles hydrogen output while producing pure CO2. This CO2 can be used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a technique where CO2 is injected into depleted oil fields to extract remaining oil and simultaneously trap the CO2 underground, effectively sequestering it.

Such CCUS applications are a key part of the UAE’s and Saudi Arabia’s environmental strategies, aligning with their ambitions to lead in carbon reduction technologies.

Addressing the Growing Plastic Waste Crisis

Plastic waste, which is projected to increase from 400 million tons per year today to 1.5 billion tons by 2050, presents a significant environmental challenge. Traditional recycling methods are energy intensive and do not eliminate plastic pollution but merely repurpose it.

Hydrogen Utopia’s technology offers a solution by destroying plastic waste at the molecular level, converting it into clean hydrogen and CO2, thereby removing plastic from the environment rather than recycling it into new products.

Engagement with Clients and Market Outlook

The response from cement producers and other industrial clients in the GCC has been overwhelmingly positive. White notes that many companies recognize Hydrogen Utopia’s solution as the only viable decarbonization path currently available to them.

With a working system already operational in the US, potential clients can verify the technology firsthand, which significantly accelerates decision-making and project financing.

Funding for projects will typically be structured through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), with offtake agreements securing the sale of hydrogen before construction begins. This model reduces financial risk and streamlines investment, especially given the scale of potential customers, some valued at tens of billions of dollars.

Reflections on the Hydrogen Market and Future Prospects

Howard White candidly addresses the skepticism around hydrogen investments, acknowledging past disappointments but emphasizing Hydrogen Utopia’s relatively short history of just over four years in a challenging market environment.

He critiques the confusing “color” coding of hydrogen—green, gray, blue, turquoise—as marketing jargon that obscures the real issue, which is the carbon intensity of production. In the MENA region, the focus is simply on low-carbon hydrogen, regardless of color.

“Hydrogen actually is colorless. It’s all the same color.”

White remains optimistic about the company’s trajectory, comparing Hydrogen Utopia’s turnaround to McLaren’s dramatic improvement in Formula 1 racing. He stresses that with proven technology, a receptive market, and supportive regional governments, the company is poised for rapid growth and multiple project sales in the near future.

Conclusion

Hydrogen Utopia’s innovative approach to producing clean hydrogen from mixed waste positions it as a key player in the MENA region’s energy transition. By leveraging proven technology, aligning with regional economic visions, and addressing critical environmental challenges such as cement industry emissions and plastic waste, the company offers a compelling solution with significant commercial potential.

As governments in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries accelerate their decarbonization efforts, Hydrogen Utopia’s model of localized, low-carbon hydrogen production could become a blueprint for sustainable industrial growth in the region and beyond.

Stay tuned for more updates as Hydrogen Utopia moves forward with its ambitious projects and partnerships, driving real-world change in the clean energy landscape.

Zak Mir talks to Cameron Pearce, Executive Chairman of Blencowe Resources

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 14:38:49 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Cameron Pearce, Executive Chairman of Blencowe Resources, as the company reports the successful completion of three deep drill holes at the Northern Syncline, following the recent success at the Beehive target. The Northern Syncline drilling complements earlier results from Beehive.

It reinforces the potential for a materially larger resource base at depth, supporting longer mine life and an expanded valuation in the Company's upcoming Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).

The Scale of Blencowe’s Graphite Project and Market Potential

Blencowe Resources holds an extraordinary graphite resource, boasting over two billion tons of graphite. Yet, the company’s market cap, at roughly thirteen million, does not yet reflect the massive potential of this asset. Cameron Pierce acknowledges this disparity and believes the completion of the DFS will be a defining moment, bridging the gap between the project’s scale and its market valuation.

"We have got a project of global significance here, and we're getting lots of interest. I think the penny is starting to drop," Pierce said, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the DFS.

Strategic Partnership with the US Development Finance Corporation

One of the standout developments for Blencowe Resources is its partnership with the US Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which has invested $5 million in the company. This partnership is not only a substantial financial boost but also a strategic endorsement, as the DFC typically invests only in companies with assets critical to US interests.

Pierce expressed his excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the credibility it brings to Blencowe Resources:

"We are thrilled to have a fit in the US government as our partner... They frankly are loving everything we're doing."

The DFC’s involvement includes multiple grants, with more funding anticipated as Blencowe progresses towards completing its DFS. This support plays a crucial role in advancing the project and demonstrates confidence in Blencowe’s strategic value.

Financial Strategy and Funding Confidence

Addressing common concerns in the small-cap market about continuous funding needs, Cameron Pierce reassures stakeholders that Blencowe Resources is well-positioned financially. The company has structured its funding carefully, utilizing warrants and strategic partnerships to ensure it is fully funded to complete the DFS and beyond.

Pierce shared his outlook on future financing:

"I fully suspect that I will have more money than I need sooner rather than later... I don't lose any sleep over concerns about financing."

This financial confidence is essential, as it allows the team to focus on delivering results and advancing the project without the distractions of funding uncertainties.

Advancing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)

The DFS is a pivotal milestone for Blencowe Resources. It will provide a detailed assessment of the project’s viability and potential scale, increasing investor confidence and likely boosting the company’s market capitalization.

Currently, the DFS covers about two percent of the project area, with ongoing drilling extending the known mineralization deeper and wider. Recent drilling results at the Northern Syncline, alongside previous success at the Beehive target, suggest the resource base could be materially larger than initially estimated.

Pierce described the excitement around the drilling results and their implications:

"We've drilled a hundred meters and got mineralization the whole way down... this is probably one of the best graphite assets on the planet."

Exploring the Project’s Geological Significance

Blencowe Resources' graphite project is located in a highly prospective East African belt, comparable to some of the best-known graphite projects globally. Geological experts on the company’s board, including Alex Bassmore, have praised the asset’s quality and potential.

According to Pierce, the project’s scale and quality make it a rare find:

"If you don't take this project, you are mad... it is an amazing asset."

This endorsement reflects the company’s confidence in the project's long-term value and strategic importance.

Positioning Blencowe Resources in the Critical Minerals Landscape

With the global focus on critical minerals intensifying, particularly amid geopolitical tensions and supply chain concerns, Blencowe Resources is well-positioned as a key player. Graphite is essential for numerous high-tech applications, including electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy technologies.

Pierce highlights how the current environment favors companies like Blencowe:

"The focus on critical minerals is at its height. I could not be more excited for the rest of the years ahead."

As governments and industries seek secure, sustainable sources of critical materials, Blencowe’s strategic assets and partnerships place it firmly in the spotlight.

Looking Ahead: What to Expect Next from Blencowe Resources

In the near term, investors and stakeholders can look forward to several key developments:

Completion and publication of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the project.
Ongoing assay results from recent drilling campaigns, which are expanding the understanding of the resource’s depth and quality.
Continued engagement with strategic partners, particularly the US Development Finance Corporation, to secure further funding and support.

These milestones will be critical in unlocking the full potential of Blencowe Resources and elevating its market presence.

Conclusion

Blencowe Resources stands at a pivotal moment in its journey, with a world-class graphite resource, strong strategic partnerships, and a soon-to-be-completed DFS that promises to redefine the company’s valuation and market perception. Cameron Pierce’s leadership and vision underscore the company’s commitment to delivering value and capitalizing on the growing demand for critical minerals.

As the global economy shifts towards sustainable technologies, Blencowe Resources is uniquely positioned to be a key supplier of essential graphite, making it a compelling story to watch in the mining sector.

Interview: Capital Metals – Advancing the Taprobane Minerals Project in Sri Lanka

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 11:51:31 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Greg Martyr, Executive Chairman, Capital Metals, in the wake of the mineral sands company approaching mine development stage at the high-grade Taprobane Minerals Project in Sri Lanka, updating on drilling within the northern EL168 area, focusing on the Initial Mining Area of the existing 17.2 Mt Mineral Resource.

Capital Metals’ Busy and Promising Period

Greg Martr opened by reflecting on a particularly active six months for Capital Metals. Since their last update, the company has made significant strides, including a successful transaction with the Ambient Group. Greg expressed enthusiasm about the new doors this partnership has opened, emphasizing that the collaboration is already proving valuable, despite being only two weeks in.

Capital Metals also recently completed a rapidly oversubscribed fundraising round, which was closed early to avoid excessive dilution at the 2.5p share price level. Greg noted the strong support from shareholders and hinted at ongoing discussions regarding the potential exercise of options, signaling healthy interest and confidence in the company’s trajectory.

Drilling Progress and Mineralization Insights

One of the most anticipated updates concerned Capital Metals’ drilling program within the northern EL168 area, focusing on the Initial Mining Area of the existing 17.2 million tonnes mineral resource. Greg reported the completion of the first phase with 170 holes drilled, totaling just over 1,500 meters. This drilling effort marks a substantial increase in depth compared to the 2016 resource calculations, which averaged only 1.6 meters, whereas the recent drilling averaged about 9 meters per hole, with some extending as far as 15 meters.

What stands out in this phase is the continuation of mineralization down to the basement rock in certain locations. While this extended mineralization is not uniform across all holes, the encouraging results point to the potential for a more substantial resource than previously understood. Assay results are expected shortly, which will provide further clarity on the resource’s quality and extent.

Strategic Partnerships and Market Validation

Greg highlighted the initiation of research coverage by Hannam & Partners, a respected name in mining research known for their rigorous analysis. This development represents a significant endorsement for Capital Metals, often seen as a “gold standard” in the sector. The research team’s detailed review of Capital Metals’ financial models has already led to improvements in the Net Present Value (NPV) calculations, with an updated model currently being finalized.

The company’s relatively low capital expenditure (capex) requirements further enhance its appeal. As mineralization increases, the economics of the project improve, making it more cost-effective to extract the resources. This combination of low capex and growing resource size is a powerful advantage as Capital Metals moves toward its investment decision.

Favorable Market and Geopolitical Landscape

Discussing the broader market context, Greg noted that the project’s sector is largely insulated from the ongoing tariffs and export restrictions affecting other industries, particularly Sri Lanka’s garment sector. While the garment industry faces uncertainty, the resource sector is gaining increasing importance for foreign investment in Sri Lanka. This shift benefits Capital Metals by positioning it favorably in the eyes of investors and policymakers alike.

Share Price Performance and Future Outlook

Despite the complexities of the market, Capital Metals’ shares have shown remarkable strength, rising nearly 80% so far this year. Greg acknowledged that while the market can be volatile with limited sellers, the goal is to attract more professional investors. The backing of Hannam & Partners is expected to bring in this new wave of buyers, helping to stabilize and potentially increase the share price further.

Looking ahead, Greg remains optimistic about ticking all the necessary boxes leading up to a final investment decision by the end of the year. The company is focused on continued progress and delivering results that will pave the way for mine development.

Conclusion

Capital Metals is clearly on an exciting path as it advances the Taprobane Minerals Project. With strong drilling results, strategic partnerships, and a favorable investment climate, the company is building momentum toward its goal of becoming a significant player in Sri Lanka’s resource sector. Stakeholders and observers alike will be watching closely as Capital Metals moves through the next critical phases of development.

Interview with Jim Mellon: Insights on the 2025 Market Landscape and Investment Strategies

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 10:09:20 +0000

In a recent conversation with renowned investor Jim Mellon, Zak Mir delved deep into the state of the financial markets as we reach the midpoint of 2025. Jim, known as one of the UK’s largest and most astute investors, shared his candid views on the evolving global economic landscape, highlighting key opportunities and risks for investors today.

The Market Environment in 2025: A Year of Surprises and Strategic Shifts

So far this year, the markets have experienced significant turbulence, exemplified by what Jim refers to as the “tariff dip” — a sharp market decline triggered by renewed tariff tensions and geopolitical uncertainties. However, rather than retreating, Jim and his team saw this as a buying opportunity, particularly focusing on regions outside the United States.

While many investors were fixated on the US market, Jim emphasized that his portfolio strategy deliberately concentrated on Europe, the UK, and Asia, with a selective approach to US stocks. This regional focus has paid off well, as these markets have demonstrated resilience amid global headwinds.

Concerns Over the US Fiscal Situation

One of the major themes Jim highlighted was the precarious fiscal position of the United States. He pointed out that the US economy is taxed at approximately 30%, but government spending sits at 38%, creating a widening fiscal gap that poses serious risks. This imbalance, he warned, could trigger severe disruptions in the US bond market and a significant depreciation of the US dollar over the next year.

“The US taxes its economy at 30% and spends 38%, and that gap is widening. That opens the possibility of very big ructions in the bond market and big falls in the US dollar, which I fully expect to happen over the next year or so.”

Given these risks, Jim advises investors to generally avoid the US market, except for a few select stocks. Instead, he advocates for increased exposure to the UK, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets, which he believes will be the primary beneficiaries of the challenges facing the US economy.

Zak Mir Talks to Howard White, Non-Executive Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia Intl

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 09:38:32 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, a company specialising in turning non-recyclable mixed waste plastic into hydrogen.

This interview with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, sheds light on the company’s groundbreaking partnership with InEnTec Inc., a firm renowned for its advanced waste-to-hydrogen plasma technology. Together, they aim to revolutionise the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s approach to sustainable energy and waste management.

Breaking New Ground: Hydrogen Utopia’s Vision and Recent Developments

Howard White begins by expressing his heartfelt condolences over the loss of Simon Mann, a former chairman and a close friend, acknowledging the impact this has had on the company. Yet, amidst this sombre note, there is a palpable sense of optimism as Hydrogen Utopia announces a significant breakthrough. The company has signed heads of terms with InEnTec Inc. for exclusive access to ten licences of InEnTec’s TRL9 (Technology Readiness Level 9) plasma technology, marking a pivotal moment in their mission to convert waste into clean hydrogen.

This development is the culmination of relentless effort, particularly by the company’s CEO Alexandra, whose tireless work helped rekindle the connection with InEnTec, a technology that Howard first encountered back in 2008 during his tenure at AFC Energy. This plasma technology, initially designed for hazardous waste disposal, has evolved into an efficient method for producing clean syngas and subsequently hydrogen, providing a robust foundation for Hydrogen Utopia’s ambitious plans.

Understanding the Plasma Technology Behind Waste-to-Hydrogen Conversion

Plasma technology, often referred to as the fourth state of matter alongside solids, liquids, and gases, is essentially a controlled, continuous lightning bolt generated between two electrodes. This process breaks down waste materials at a molecular level, converting them into syngas—a mixture rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Howard’s extensive experience with plasma projects, including collaborations in Thailand and with notable figures like Roman Abramovich, lends deep credibility to the technology’s potential.

What makes InEnTec’s plasma system particularly compelling is its ability to handle virtually any form of waste, including mixed plastics, tyres, and even turbine blades, transforming these materials into valuable outputs with minimal environmental impact. Initially, the technology operated on high gate fees for waste destruction, but advancements such as integrating a gas water shift process have doubled hydrogen production and generated food-grade CO2 as a byproduct.

Zak Mir speaks with Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil & Gas, the company has commenced drilling its first exploration well.

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 14 May 2025 14:45:58 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil & Gas, in the wake of today’s news that the helium, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon exploration, development, and production company has announced the spudding of the first exploration well of a five-well programme in the Vecta Project, Las Animas County, Colorado, US.

Highlights

· | Drilling has commenced and surface casing set.
· | The Barclay-TH 295 106A well will test the Lyons Sandstone formation at the Billy Goat lease area (“AMI”), with a planned total depth (“TD”) of circa 800ft in the Lyons Sandstone.
· | Drilling will continue to determine top of Lyons formation, and then to TD.
· | Gas will be tested to determine concentrations of gases, including helium.
· | Wireline logging will be conducted at TD to determine the reservoir and gas/fluid properties.
Vecta Project (90% interest in Billy Goat, 20% working interest in other areas)

The Vecta Project is operated by Vecta and is located in Las Animas County, close to the Red Rocks helium producing field, and Blue Star Helium’s Galactica development project. Helium concentrations of up to 11% have been encountered in offset wells and fields in the area, with the closest well, Texaco Cynthia True-1, flowing 8.8% helium from the upper Lyons sandstone.

A total of five wells are planned to be drilled in this drilling campaign, testing five individual structural closures.

Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said: “The drilling of this Billy Goat well is exciting given the excellent lease position in a proven area of helium development and production

“Each well location has been carefully selected by the very experienced team at Vecta and we believe each well has an excellent chance of discovering helium. The low-cost drilling of these wells enables data to be obtained at very reasonable cost.

“This location has good access to infrastructure including roads, pipelines and the Ladder Creek helium plant located at Cheyenne Wells, about 100 miles north of Billy Goat.”

Zak Mir talks to Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil & Gas

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 09:13:33 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil & Gas, about the latest company update at the helium, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon exploration, development, and production company.

Navigating the Helium Gold Rush in the US

In the evolving landscape of energy commodities, helium has emerged as a critical resource with soaring demand and limited supply. Mosman Oil and Gas, under the leadership of CEO Andy Carroll, is strategically positioned to capitalise on this burgeoning market, particularly within the United States. This article delves into Mosman’s journey, its unique positioning in the helium sector, and what investors and industry watchers can expect in the near and medium term.

From Oil and Gas to Helium: Mosman’s Strategic Pivot

Mosman Oil and Gas has a rich heritage rooted in the oil and gas industry, which has provided the company with a strong technical foundation. However, recognising the significant opportunity in helium exploration and production, Mosman has focused on this niche but rapidly growing sector.

Helium, often overlooked in the past, is now experiencing what many describe as a gold rush, particularly in the US. This shift is driven by helium’s essential role in a variety of high-tech applications, including semiconductor manufacturing, medical imaging, and aerospace technologies.

Andy Carroll emphasises that Mosman’s decision to concentrate on the US market is deliberate and strategic. “There are very few small companies focused on helium, especially in the US, which we believe is the place to be,” he explains. This is largely due to the recent opening of the US helium market to private investors after a century of government control, which had previously stifled exploration incentives.

The US Helium Market: Infrastructure and Opportunity

The US helium market differs significantly from other global regions. Historically, helium production and sales were dominated by government-run entities, with restricted access for private companies. The government’s release of its helium reserves disrupted prices and exploration dynamics, but recent regulatory changes have ushered in a new era of opportunity.

“In the US, you have an established helium infrastructure, which is crucial,” Carroll points out. Unlike other regions such as Australia, where helium resources may exist but infrastructure and market access are limited, the US offers a mature ecosystem. This includes pipelines, processing plants, and a ready market driven by demand from critical industries.

Moreover, the US market’s relative lack of competition in helium exploration means companies like Mosman can secure prime acreage and advance projects with less direct rivalry, setting the stage for potentially lucrative near-term production.

Zak Mir talks to Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 10:21:07 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, in the wake of the Panther Metals stake sale and LOI for the sale of the Tully Gold property.

Fulcrum Metals plc (LON: FMET), a technology led company focused on the recovery of precious metals from mine tailings in Canada, is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with TSX Venture Exchange listed Loyalist Exploration Limited (“Loyalist”) for the sale of the Company’s 100% interest in the Tully Gold Project (“Tully” or the “Project”) in Timmins, Ontario.

Loyalist Exploration Limited is a recently restructured mineral exploration company led by an experienced management and directors focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing quality mineral properties in Canada. Loyalist recently announced a strengthening of its portfolio through the addition of the Loveland nickel/copper/gold property and the Gold Rush gold/silver property, both located in the Timmins, Ontario mining district.

LOI highlights

· Cash payment of CA$500,000 payable to Fulcrum on completion

· 89,255,000 common shares in Loyalist to be issued to Fulcrum representing a shareholding of 19.9% in the issued share capital of Loyalist upon completion (subject to adjustment) with an implied value of CA$892,550 based on a price of CA$0.01 per share

· A 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) to be granted to Fulcrum over the Project with a CA$1,000,000 buy back for 1%

· Potential future milestone payments to Fulcrum of CA$100,000 in cash and 30,000,000 shares in Loyalist at a price of CA$0.01 per share or cash in lieu

· Exposure to multiple highly prospective projects in the Timmins mining district

Ryan Mee, Chief Executive Officer of Fulcrum, commented:

“I am very pleased to announce the signing of the LOI with Loyalist over the highly prospective Tully Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. This transaction aligns perfectly with our broader strategy to divest exploration assets and focus on the development of our gold tailings projects in Kirkland Lake and the potential commercial opportunities open to us.

“We believe that Tully is a high quality asset that is located in one of the world’s most prolific gold districts, and the terms retain significant exposure for Fulcrum in the potential upside through the shareholding and the milestone and royalty structure.

I look forward to working alongside Loyalist to closing this transaction.”

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 11:04:08 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Mark Routh, CEO of Prospex Energy, an AIM-quoted investment company focused on European gas and power projects. Prospex Energy provides an operational update on its production, development, and drilling schedules across its portfolio of three producing natural gas assets in onshore Europe: Viura, Selva, and El Romeral.

Prospex Energy: A Bright Future in European Gas Production

In recent times, Prospex Energy has been making waves in the European gas sector, and with good reason. With a solid operational update, the company is well-positioned to grow, thanks to a balanced portfolio of assets and a commitment to sustainable energy production. Let’s dive deeper into the latest developments and what they mean for the future of the company.

Operational Update: Increased Production and Future Plans

Prospex Energy has reported a significant increase in net production since this time last year. The company now boasts production income from three assets located in two stable European nations. This not only covers overheads but also ensures that the company remains debt-free, setting the stage for future growth.

However, there have been some operational challenges, particularly with the VRA field. In January, flow tests from the VRA 1B well showed promising results, with a flow rate of around 500,000 cubic meters per day. Yet, subsequent reports indicated a reduction in flow rates and an increase in water handling requirements. These operational issues are part and parcel of managing gas assets, but the acquisition of the VRA field last August has been transformative, doubling production for Prospex

Transforming Biotech: Insights from Tim McCarthy, CEO of ImmuPharma

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 13:14:47 +0000

ImmuPharma PLC (AIM: IMM) CEO Tim McCarthy spoke with Zak Mir. In the world of biotechnology, companies often face unique challenges, particularly when it comes to navigating public markets and securing investment.

Tim McCarthy, CEO of ImmuPharma, shares his insights on the current state of the biotech industry, the innovations at ImmuPharma, and the importance of effective communication with investors. Join us as we delve into ImmuPharma's transformative journey, the significance of its groundbreaking research, and what the future holds for the company.

The Landscape of Biotech Investment

Tim opens the discussion by acknowledging the struggles that biotech firms, especially those listed on the London market, often encounter. The UK and Europe lack the depth of capital markets that are available in the US, making it more challenging for biotech companies to thrive. Tim reflects on his extensive experience in the sector. He highlights that the primary issue is not just access to capital but also the understanding of what biotech companies bring to the table.

“We don’t have the same appreciation for the intellectual resources that biotech brings,” he notes. This lack of recognition has led to many small biotechs leaving the market, unable to secure the funding they desperately need. Tim emphasizes that for many biotech companies, the public market is critical for raising capital, particularly during the development phases when they are not generating revenue.

The Importance of News Flow

One of the key elements for biotech companies like ImmuPharma is maintaining a steady flow of substantial news. Tim explains that news flow is the lifeblood of biotech companies. It’s not enough to release press releases just to remain visible; these updates need to convey meaningful progress and be understandable to a broader audience.

“The majority of investors out there are not scientists,” he points out, highlighting the need for clarity in communicating complex scientific advancements. Tim believes that if investors better understood the technology and breakthroughs, it could lead to improved valuations and liquidity for biotech companies.

Zak Mir talks with Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, Highlighting the company gold tailings strategy

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 09:44:32 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, a Canadian-focused exploration company, about its gold tailings strategy and potential benefits to the group.

In mining and resource exploration, the conversation often revolves around finding new gold, silver, and other precious metals sources. However, there’s a growing trend that focuses on reprocessing existing tailings—waste materials left over from previous mining operations.

Today, we’ll explore Fulcrum Metals' innovative approach, particularly its strategy surrounding gold tailings in Canada, and how it plans to turn these deposits into valuable assets.

Understanding the Tailings Strategy

Fulcrum Metals is strategically focused on reprocessing tailings, specifically gold tailings, located in Ontario, Canada. This approach is not just about mining; it’s about transforming what was once considered waste into a viable resource. The company recognises the potential of these tailings, especially given the recent surge in gold prices.

Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, has been instrumental in shaping this vision. He highlights the importance of scalability in their operations. Scalability is crucial for junior resource companies, particularly in a market that can sometimes overlook smaller entities. By proving the concept of reprocessing tailings, Fulcrum aims to establish itself as a key player in this niche.

Key Findings from the Phase 2 Study

Positive Technical Results: The Phase 2 study has provided critical technical details necessary for pursuing a master licensing agreement.
Scalability: The study has confirmed that the reprocessing method can be scaled up, allowing for increased production.
Additional Tonnage: More tonnage could be added to the Techu project, enhancing its viability as a long-term operation.

Zak Mir talks to Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 11:07:59 +0000

Zak Mir interviews Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals (AIM: KOD), following last month's announcement that it has successfully produced its first spodumene concentrate at the fully-funded Bougouni Lithium Project in Southern Mali.

The first production of spodumene concentrate was successfully achieved during the commissioning phase of the Stage 1 Dense Media Separation (DMS) processing plant, following the introduction of pegmatite ore into the circuit.

The DMS plant met its performance targets in this initial run, producing spodumene concentrate with an assay of 5.53% Li₂O, aligning with the planned production profile.

This milestone was reached ahead of schedule, setting the stage for a gradual ramp-up to nameplate capacity in the coming weeks.

Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals, remarked: “The first production of spodumene concentrate at Bougouni marks a major milestone for Kodal and I would like to thank our entire team for this achievement, which wholly reflects the dedication and effort of all those involved. We are confident that this progress will continue into the commercial production phase and our project team will continue to work towards our 10,000 tonnes per month target at Bougouni.

“The operational focus over the coming weeks will be the finalisation of commissioning and stress testing of the DMS processing plant as we ramp up to achieve nameplate capacity and steady state production. We look forward to confirming our first shipment of lithium spodumene concentrate to Hainan in China by the end of this quarter.”

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 10:18:21 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Ian McDonough, CEO of Blackbird, in the wake of the Final Results reported from the technology licensor, developer, and seller of the market-leading cloud-native video editing platform Blackbird and the online collaborative video editing and content creation platform elevate.io.

In the ever-evolving landscape of video editing and content creation, Blackbird stands out as a pioneering force. Under the leadership of Ian McDonough, the company has made significant strides, particularly with its innovative cloud-native video editing platform. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the recent achievements of Blackbird, its strategic direction, and what the future holds for the company and its users.

A Year of Milestones for Blackbird

The past year has been pivotal for Blackbird, marked by key milestones that have set the stage for future growth. McDonough highlights that Blackbird has two core products: the flagship Blackbird platform, designed for high-end news and sports content creation, and Elevate, a comprehensive video content creation platform aimed at both corporate and individual users.

One of the standout achievements includes Blackbird's involvement in the summer games in Paris, where it handled an impressive 75 feeds of sports content simultaneously. Editors from across the globe utilized the platform to create engaging stories and clips featuring their national athletes, showcasing the platform's robustness and reliability.

For the first time, the Blackbird division reported an EBIT positive margin of £500,000, alongside a profit in 2024, marking a significant financial milestone for the company. These achievements not only demonstrate the platform's market viability but also its potential for sustained growth.

Launch of Elevate: A Game Changer

Another major development was the recent launch of Elevate's Creator platform, which took place just three weeks prior to this discussion. McDonough emphasizes that Elevate is a crucial component of Blackbird's strategy to scale the business. The platform offers an end-to-end video content creation solution tailored for the corporate market and individual creators alike.

With a burgeoning market estimated at $6.9 billion in 2022, Elevate is positioned to capture a significant share as video content becomes increasingly ubiquitous. McDonough notes that the platform is designed to facilitate seamless collaboration, enabling users to create professional-quality video content without the need for extensive editing experience.

Zak Mir talks to Alastair Clayton, Executive Chairman of Thor Energy Plc

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:12:39 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Alastair Clayton, Executive Chairman, Thor Energy, in the wake of the acquisition of 80.2% of the issued share capital of Go Exploration Pty Ltd, the Australian-based natural (white) hydrogen and helium explorer. They also discuss the key drivers for Thor over the rest of 2025.

In the dynamic landscape of alternative energy, Thor Energy is making significant strides, particularly in the natural hydrogen sector. With a renewed focus and strategic direction, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning interest in hydrogen as a sustainable energy solution. In this post, we will explore what Thor Energy does, its recent developments, and the key drivers for its growth in 2025 and beyond.

Understanding Thor Energy

Thor Energy is a dual-listed company on the ASX, operating primarily within the alternative energy metal space. For years, it has been diligently working to carve out a niche in this rapidly evolving industry. Recently, the company underwent a board refresh, which has led to a renewed emphasis on natural hydrogen exploration.

Natural hydrogen, distinct from the various coloured hydrogen variants like green or blue, is a naturally occurring resource. Thor Energy is set to launch its program in South Australia, tapping into this exciting and less explored sector of the hydrogen market.

The Hydrogen Gold Rush

The hydrogen sector is witnessing what many are calling a "gold rush." Major players, including tech giants and philanthropic foundations, are investing heavily in hydrogen technologies. The premise is straightforward: natural hydrogen can be burned similarly to natural gas to power data centres and energy-intensive industries, including those related to artificial intelligence.

This surge in interest raises the question: is this the primary pivot for Thor Energy? The answer is a resounding yes. While the company will maintain its previous activities, the focus on natural hydrogen is paramount. This strategic shift aims to rationalize its portfolio and align with market demands.

Scaling Up: The Journey from Micro Cap to Mid-Tier

Thor Energy currently operates as a small-cap micro-cap company with a market cap of around £6 million. Transitioning from a micro-cap to a small-cap or mid-tier company involves navigating various challenges, particularly in raising capital. Alastair Clayton, the Executive Chairman, highlights the importance of achieving "escape velocity"—a term used to describe the point at which a company can scale up effectively.

In the commodities sector, raising a small amount of money often proves more challenging than securing larger sums. Over the past two decades, Clayton has learned that the key lies in finding a balance between scale and investability, all while keeping capital expenditures manageable. The natural hydrogen sector presents a unique opportunity for Thor Energy, as it requires relatively low capital expenditure to bring projects into production.

Zak Mir talks to Harry Baker, Chief Executive of Borders and Southern Petroleum PLC

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:55 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Harry Baker, CEO of Borders & Southern, after the London-based independent oil and gas company with assets offshore the Falkland Islands announced a fundraising campaign to raise approximately £1.86 million. They discuss the new “drill, baby drill” mantra in the market and Borders' strategy and outlook.

Borders & Southern is an independent oil and gas exploration company based in the UK, primarily focused on the Falkland Islands. Recently, the company made headlines with its announcement of a fundraising initiative aimed at raising approximately £1.86 million. This move reflects the company's strategic approach to capitalizing on its assets and positioning itself in the market.

Understanding the Fundraising Announcement

During a recent discussion, Harry Baker, the CEO of Borders & Southern, elaborated on the reasons behind this fundraising effort. Historically, the company has raised two years’ worth of working capital, but in the last round of fundraising in October, they opted to raise only one year’s worth. Baker emphasized that the decision was made because the company’s share price at the time did not accurately reflect the potential internal and external catalysts that could drive the stock’s value upward.

Funding for Future Opportunities

The primary goal of the recent fundraising is to ensure that Borders & Southern is fully funded until the end of 2026. This financial cushion is crucial as the company seeks to engage in farm-out conversations regarding its significant discovery project. Baker expressed that being well-funded allows the company to negotiate from a position of strength, enabling them to pursue the right deals rather than settling for the first offer that comes along.

Zak Mir talks to Gordon Stein, Chief Financial Officer of CleanTech Lithium

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 12:12:18 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, an exploration and development company advancing lithium projects in Chile for the clean energy transition, as it raises £2.4m and in the run-up to its dual listing on the ASX.

CleanTech Lithium Raises £2.4 Million to Advance Laguna Verde and ASX Listing.

CleanTech Lithium PLC (CTL) has conditionally raised £2.4 million by issuing 15 million new shares at 16p each. The placement shares account for approximately 15.2% of the company’s expanded ordinary share capital, with each share including a warrant entitlement to subscribe for one additional share at 11p.

Most placement shares were allocated to existing institutional investors across Asia, Australia, Europe, and the UK, reflecting strong shareholder support despite challenging market conditions.

Net proceeds will be directed towards key initiatives, including advancing capital programs crucial for securing the CEOL (Chilean Special Lithium Operation Contract) at Laguna Verde, completing the project’s pre-feasibility study, and funding the company’s listing on the ASX through to completion.

Additionally, the funds will support efforts to enhance market visibility, attract a broader investor base, and finalize the first-stage direct lithium extraction (DLE) pilot plant. The company aims to produce significant quantities of battery-grade lithium carbonate to introduce to potential off-takers and strategic partners, while also covering general working capital requirements.

To accommodate further demand, CleanTech Lithium has granted a broker option to Fox-Davies, allowing investors to participate in the placement until 5:00 PM on 25 February 2025.

Executive Chairman Steve Kesler commented:
"We are delighted to welcome new shareholders and appreciate the continued support of existing investors who, despite tough market conditions, have shown confidence in our mission to develop responsibly sourced lithium in Chile through direct lithium extraction. These new funds will help us progress towards securing a CEOL at Laguna Verde, completing the project’s PFS, and producing battery-grade lithium carbonate for potential strategic partners. We remain committed to engaging with indigenous communities as we pursue a dual listing in Australia in the coming weeks."

Andrea Cattaneo, CEO Zenith Energy (LON:ZEN) Talking to Zaks Traders Cafe

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 12:27:48 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Andrea Cattaneo, CEO of Zenith Energy, as he discusses prospects for the company’s prospects for an arbitration win with Tunisia in the wake of the latest successful fundraising.

In an engaging discussion, Andrea Cattaneo, the CEO of Zenith Energy, shares insights on the company’s recent successes, ongoing arbitration processes, and future strategies. This blog post explores the key points from this conversation, highlighting the company’s remarkable journey and the exciting prospects ahead.

Recent Performance and Share Price Surge

Zenith Energy has experienced a notable uptick in its share price over the past few months, surging from near a penny to almost 12 pence at its peak—an impressive tenfold increase. This surge is largely attributed to the market’s positive reception of the company’s potential to win its arbitration case in Tunisia, coupled with a successful fundraising effort.

Understanding the Arbitration Landscape

One of the unique aspects of Zenith Energy’s situation is the presence of three arbitration cases. Cattaneo explains that most companies typically deal with a single arbitration, which can be a binary bet. However, having multiple cases provides a broader range of options and a greater sense of security. The first arbitration has already been won, with penalties and interest to be reimbursed at a high interest rate, setting a promising precedent for the subsequent cases.

Winning the First Arbitration

The first arbitration victory is a significant milestone for Zenith Energy. The company initiated the case for $6.7 million, which eventually expanded to a total of $9.7 million after accounting for damages and costs associated with the arbitration process. This increase of 45% over the original claim demonstrates the complexities and potential financial rewards involved.

Expectations for Upcoming Arbitrations

Looking ahead, the stakes are even higher with the second arbitration, where claims amount to $130 million. The company is optimistic about the outcome, believing that the same illegalities will be punished similarly across different courts. This sets the stage for potentially transformative financial results for Zenith Energy, should all three arbitrations yield positive outcomes.

Market Confidence and Financial Strategy

The market has reacted positively to these developments, with Zenith’s market cap increasing from approximately £2-3 million to around £23-24 million. This reflects investor confidence in the company’s prospects and the anticipation of further arbitration wins. To support these efforts, Zenith Energy recently raised just under £3 million, primarily earmarked for legal costs associated with the arbitration process.

Utilising Funds Wisely

While the primary focus of the raised funds is on arbitration, Cattaneo indicates that the company may also explore opportunities for acquisitions in the oil and gas sector. The strategy remains cautious, ensuring that the funds are used judiciously and primarily directed towards winning the ongoing legal battles.

Future Directions: Beyond Arbitration

Once the arbitration cases are settled, Cattaneo envisions a strategic shift for Zenith Energy. He expresses a desire to evolve the company into a mid-tier oil and gas or energy production entity. This transformation is not merely about winning cases; it’s about leveraging the company’s assets and capabilities in a competitive market.

Diverse Energy Focus

Zenith Energy’s future plans encompass a variety of energy sources, including a potential pivot towards uranium. Cattaneo highlights the emerging interest in smaller nuclear power projects, which could address public concerns while providing a clean energy alternative. Alongside this, the company continues to focus on electricity production in Italy and the UK, primarily through natural gas and photovoltaic projects.

Strategic Acquisitions and Market Positioning

The strategy for acquisitions post-arbitration will involve a mix of opportunistic purchases and a more selective approach to entering new markets. Cattaneo stresses the importance of avoiding previous mistakes that led to the company’s downsizing and loss of credibility. The focus will be on countries with stable jurisdictions that can offer energy security.

Partnering for Success

To mitigate risks associated with distressed assets and challenging jurisdictions, Cattaneo emphasizes the value of strategic partnerships. Collaborating with sovereign wealth funds or other established entities can provide a cushion against market volatility, allowing Zenith Energy to capitalize on potential upsides without exposing itself to undue risk.

Conclusion: A Bright Horizon for Zenith Energy

Andrea Cattaneo’s insights paint a picture of a resilient company poised for growth and transformation. With a robust strategy to navigate the complexities of arbitration, a commitment to diversifying energy sources, and a clear focus on strategic acquisitions, Zenith Energy is well-positioned for a promising future. As the company prepares for upcoming arbitration results, stakeholders can look forward to exciting developments that could redefine the landscape of Zenith Energy.

Stay tuned for more updates as Zenith Energy continues its journey towards success in the energy sector.

As we kick off 2025, ECR Minerals is prioritising its transition into gold production.

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 12:35:57 +0000

This week, Nick Tulloch, Chairman of ECR Minerals plc, is heading to Australia to discuss a $75 million tax loss sale and exploration plans for Victoria and Queensland. Along with Chief Geologist Adam Jones & Consultant Geologist Mike Parker, who will be at Blue Mountain shortly before the team heads down to Victoria.

The immediate focus is on the Blue Mountain project, where activities are set to accelerate. The team is preparing to meet with geological survey representatives and landowners in Queensland to solidify relationships and advance planned drilling activities.

This groundwork is critical as ECR aims to demonstrate its capabilities in generating revenue through production.

Drilling and Exploration Plans in Queensland

ECR’s team is set to travel to Australia to advance drilling operations. The goal is to leverage trenching and geological surveys to expedite progress. The groundwork laid in 2024 will serve as a springboard for this year’s activities, with drilling expected to commence at the beginning of the season.

Key Objectives for the Australian Operations

Targeting Best Ground: The team aims to identify and drill the most promising areas based on previous trenching work.
Resource Reports: The company anticipates delivering resource reports that highlight the potential of the project.
Independent Assessment: An independent report from Gekko Systems has revealed promising findings that ECR plans to build upon.

Whitler expressed optimism about the potential of the Blue Mountain project, indicating that the opportunity is larger and may materialise quicker than the market anticipates. The company is prepared to take a straightforward approach to drilling, utilising a 4×4 rig that allows for easy access to target areas without extensive infrastructure requirements.

Strategic Acquisitions and Market Positioning

As part of its growth strategy, ECR is exploring potential acquisitions to complement its existing portfolio. With a strong funding position and a depressed market environment, the company sees this as an opportune moment to identify valuable assets that can be integrated into its operations.

Rationale Behind Acquisitions

The market is currently presenting numerous opportunities, with larger companies struggling to develop assets or access capital. ECR’s solid financial footing allows it to pursue these opportunities confidently. Whitler highlighted the importance of leveraging their contacts and technical expertise to navigate potential transactions effectively.

“We are shareholders, and we understand the need to create liquidity events within the business,” Whitler noted. The focus is on expanding the company’s footprint while enhancing shareholder value through strategic planning and asset management.

Progressing Towards Production

As ECR moves closer to production, it is essential to demonstrate tangible results to investors. The company is committed to transitioning from a pure exploration play to a production-driven entity, with revenue generation as a key focus. Whitler is confident that by the end of 2025, ECR can establish itself as a revenue-generating company.

Building a Stronger Team

To support these ambitious plans, ECR has strengthened its team with the addition of Mike Parker, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the mining sector. His expertise is expected to be instrumental in developing strong drill programmes and transitioning projects from exploration to production.

Whitler emphasised the importance of operational efficiency and stakeholder engagement, which Parker brings to the table. This strategic addition to the team aligns with ECR’s vision of scaling up operations and enhancing its production capabilities.

Anticipating Revenue Generation

With production plans set in motion, the focus shifts to revenue generation. ECR aims to start generating income from the Blue Mountain project by the end of 2025, with a target of producing 100,000 ounces of gold annually. This ambitious goal reflects the company’s commitment to establishing a sustainable revenue stream.

The potential for significant income is expected to attract a different audience of investors, moving beyond speculative interest to genuine investment opportunities. As the company progresses, Whitler believes that tangible results will bolster investor confidence and support the company’s growth trajectory.

Conclusion: A Promising Future for ECR Minerals

ECR Minerals is well-positioned to embark on a transformative journey towards gold production in 2025. With a clear focus on operational efficiency, strategic acquisitions, and revenue generation, the company is ready to enhance its market value and establish itself as a competitive player in the mining sector.

The combination of a strengthened team, ambitious production targets, and a strategic approach to acquisitions bodes well for ECR’s future. As the company prepares for an exciting year ahead, stakeholders can look forward to significant developments and a commitment to delivering value.

Stay tuned as ECR Minerals continues to navigate the evolving landscape of the mining industry, positioning itself for success in the years to come.

Zak Mir talks to David Minchin, Chairman of Helix Exploration PLC

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 16:44:17 +0000

Zak Mir talks to David Minchin, Chairman of Helix Exploration, about the latest from Rudyard and how this week's fundraiser will take the helium explorer to production.

Helix Exploration PLC has announced updated helium reserves and economic modelling results for its Rudyard Project. The company plans to raise a minimum of £4 million through a share issue to fund the development and production, targeting significant cash flow and market expansion. The first production is expected in Q2 2025.

Highlights of Reserves and Economic Modelling

• Reserves of 355 million cubic feet of helium calculated by Aeon Petroleum Consultants Corp. ("Aeon") on northern dome only

• Net Revenue $115.2m over 12.5-year life of field and peak sustained post-tax cash flow of $15-25 million per year using a flat helium price of $500/Mcf

• Aeon modelling results in NPV8 of $77.9m and IRR >1,000% on reserves in northern part of dome

• In-house modelling results in NPV8 of circa $145m and Net Revenue circa $220m including contingent resources in southern part of dome

• Results from Darwin #1 indicate closure is larger than expected under current structural model

Bo Sears, CEO of Helix Exploration, said:

"We are delighted to announce updated reserves and economic forecasts for Rudyard Project which demonstrate the potential to generate free cash flow of $15 - $25 million per year post-tax and post-royalty, and net revenue of $115 - $220 million over a 12.5-year life of field. Reserves demonstrate discovered commercial helium that underly the value of the Rudyard Project and considerable upside for long term shareholders."

"With the expected completion of the proposed fundraise, Helix will be fully funded to bring the Rudyard Project into production and positive cash-flow, targeting first production within Q2 of this year. Early cashflow gives Helix the freedom to pursue exploration and M&A, self-financing development and growing Helix into a strategic helium producer for the USA market."

David Minchin, Chairman of Helix Exploration, said

"The decision to move forward with an equity raise comes after a detailed review of the economic model and terms of available debt finance. Equity became preferable over debt considering the high cost of debt capital as well as onerous terms including long term take-or-pay agreements that would have limited the Company's ability to market produced helium to end-users and the wider USA market. In-house analysis showed a higher post-dilution NPV per share on an equity raise compared to a debt raise, demonstrating that equity would be the preferred finance route to grow the Company and deliver long-term benefit to shareholders."

"We look forward to an active period for the Company as we move to complete the proposed fundraise and accelerate Rudyard into production."

Zak Mir talks to Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman of QBT, an AIM-listed investment company focused on a disruptive R&D and investment programme within the blockchain sector, as it announces a breakthrough achievement for its predictive Bitcoin Artificial Intelligence model mining tool.

QBT believes this is a significant milestone since this proprietary technology has been used in trials to mine Bitcoin. It provides a material competitive advantage in mining by reducing the energy cost of mining by approximately 30% or accelerating the mining speed at current energy consumption and costs with approximately a 30% greater hash rate.

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin mining stands as a complex and competitive frontier. Companies are constantly searching for innovative solutions to enhance their mining capabilities. One such company, QBT, is at the forefront with a cutting-edge approach that utilises artificial intelligence. In this blog, we delve into an insightful conversation with Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman of QBT, who shares the latest advancements and breakthroughs in their predictive Bitcoin AI model.

The Journey of QBT

Francesco Gardin starts by outlining the history of QBT, which has been on a transformative journey for over three years. This journey is not just about creating a mining tool; it’s about challenging the status quo of Bitcoin mining. The core of their innovation lies in tackling the SHA-256 algorithm, which is fundamental to Bitcoin generation.

Gardin describes their mission as one to “crack the code” of SHA-256, although he admits that “cracking” is a strong term. Instead, they aimed to enhance the algorithm’s efficiency using advanced AI techniques. These techniques have led to the creation of an Oracle that predicts the algorithm’s behaviour, significantly reducing the computational resources required to mine Bitcoin.

What is the Oracle and How Does it Work?

The Oracle developed by QBT is an intriguing innovation. It operates by providing a predictive analysis of whether a given input into the SHA-256 algorithm has a chance of generating a successful output—a winning hash. This means that miners can avoid unnecessary computations, which traditionally require trying trillions of inputs to find a valid hash.

Instead of brute-forcing through countless possibilities, the Oracle can qualitatively assess whether the outcome will meet the target criteria. This not only saves time but also resources, which is particularly critical in an industry where energy costs are a major concern.

The Competitive Edge of QBT’s Technology

One of the significant advantages of this Oracle is its efficiency. By reducing the energy cost of mining by approximately 30%, QBT is poised to provide miners with a substantial competitive edge. This improvement can either accelerate mining speed at current energy consumption levels or enhance the hash rate, which is crucial for successful mining operations.

Gardin highlights the current landscape of Bitcoin mining, noting that as Bitcoin prices rise, the competition intensifies. Miners are constantly seeking ways to improve their performance, and QBT’s technology offers a promising solution.

Licensing and Business Model

A key question arises about the accessibility of QBT’s intellectual property (IP). Gardin clarifies that their business model is geared towards licensing the technology. The Oracle’s capabilities must be integrated directly into mining chips, a process that involves collaboration with chip manufacturers.

When asked about potential partnerships, Gardin mentions that while the number of companies manufacturing Bitcoin mining chips is limited, those who understand the technology’s impact can significantly enhance their operations. The licensing structure typically involves an upfront payment for the right to use the IP, alongside ongoing maintenance fees for updating the neural networks that keep the Oracle aligned with blockchain developments.

Future Developments and Innovations

While the Oracle represents a significant breakthrough, Gardin is clear that it is just the beginning. QBT has two other ongoing projects that aim to further improve mining efficiency. These projects are still in testing phases, but initial results indicate a potential for even greater performance enhancements.

Gardin notes that while the lab results show promising improvements, adapting these methods to existing chips presents unique challenges. The limitations of current chip technology mean that QBT must continually refine their approach, which could eventually lead to collaborations with chip designers to create optimised solutions.

QBT’s Vision and Potential

As a small-cap company operating on the cutting edge of technology, QBT holds a special niche within the cryptocurrency sector. Gardin expresses confidence in their expertise regarding the SHA-256 algorithm and its significance in Bitcoin generation. While QBT’s immediate focus is on licensing powerful technologies to major players in the market, the potential for growth is immense.

Gardin envisions a future where QBT could evolve into a larger player in the tech industry, but he emphasises that their current priority is to develop and license technologies that can significantly improve mining operations for their partners.

Conclusion

The conversation with Francesco Gardin reveals the innovative spirit driving QBT as they navigate the complexities of Bitcoin mining. With their predictive AI technology, they are not just participating in the cryptocurrency landscape; they are actively reshaping it. As the demand for efficient mining solutions grows, QBT is well-positioned to lead the charge with its groundbreaking Oracle and ongoing advancements. The road ahead looks promising, and the potential for further breakthroughs continues to excite both investors and industry insiders alike.

Stay tuned for more updates from QBT as they continue to explore the frontiers of blockchain technology and redefine what is possible in Bitcoin mining.

Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (AIM, TSXV, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ), an independent mine development corporation with a substantial land package of gold and strategic mineral assets across Southern Greenland, announces that it has successfully completed its 2024 exploration programmes across its portfolio in South Greenland.

Zak Mir spoke with Eddie Wyvill, Corporate Development of Amaroq Minerals. The company is on the verge of production. It has been a long seven-year journey, but finally, they see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome to an exciting update from Amaroq, where they are on the brink of a significant milestone. Eddie Wyvill, head of corporate development, shares insights into the company’s journey and the challenges faced along the way.

The Road to Gold Production

After seven years of hard work, Amaroq is set to pour its first gold bar in Greenland. This moment represents the culmination of a long journey, and the excitement is palpable among the team. As Eddie puts it, “It’s the end of a seven-year journey to get there.” The company is not just talking about future production; they are ready to deliver.

Why Now?

The decision to move forward with production comes after significant preparation and investment. While many companies in the London market often delay actual production, Amaroq has taken concrete steps. The company has been mining since May and is currently testing equipment on site. A large shed has been erected, and the team is gearing up for the moment they can lift the first gold bar.

Understanding the Nalac Mine

The Nalac mine has a rich history, having produced 350,000 ounces of gold at an impressive grade of 15 grams per ton in the past. However, it shut down in 2014 due to previous operator issues. Amaroq’s team has drilled extensively over the past six years, uncovering a resource of 320,000 ounces at an astonishing 28 grams per ton, which is among the highest resources globally.

Production Plans

Amaroq is moving forward with a phased approach to production. The first phase involves building a 300-ton per day plant, with expectations of producing approximately 45,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold annually. This high-grade mining operation allows for lower costs, as less rock needs to be moved compared to lower-grade mines. The company aims to achieve low all-in sustaining costs while benefiting from favorable gold prices.

Challenges and Considerations

Building a mine in South Greenland comes with unique challenges, including logistical hurdles and the need for precise planning. Eddie emphasizes the importance of being prepared for potential issues, given the remote location of the mine. The team has learned to stockpile essential parts and equipment to avoid delays.

Key Factors for Success

Several factors have contributed to Amarok’s progress:

High-Grade Ore: The mine’s high-grade ore allows for better recovery rates and lower costs.
Existing Infrastructure: The Nalac mine has existing underground infrastructure, saving significant costs and time in development.
Strong Management Team: Eddie and his team bring extensive experience to the project, crucial for navigating the complexities of mining in remote locations.
Regulatory Environment: Operating in Greenland, a Danish sovereign country with a robust mining code, has facilitated a smoother permitting process compared to other regions.

Looking Ahead

As Amaroq prepares to ramp up production, the team remains focused on maintaining efficiency and managing costs. They are optimistic about the future, knowing that successful production could lead to substantial free cash flow and increased valuations in the gold mining sector.

Final Thoughts

Eddie acknowledges the pressures of meeting investor expectations and the challenges of operating in a demanding environment. However, he remains confident in the team’s ability to deliver results. As they look to the future, Amaroq is not just focused on gold production; they are also exploring new opportunities in the region, with plans for further exploration and development.

Zak Mir talking with Nick Tulloch, Chief Executive Officer of Mendell Helium

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 15:04:55 +0000

Zak Mir interviewed Mendell Helium CEO Nick Tulloch regarding M3Helium's new farm-in agreement with Scout Energy to advance helium resource development in Kansas' Hugoton Gas Field.

Mendell Helium announced that M3 Helium Corp. has signed an exclusive farm-in and fixed-price helium agreement with Scout Energy Partners over 161,280 acres of the Hugoton gas field (“Leases”), one of North America's largest natural gas fields.

Under M3 Helium’s agreement, the company can drill up to 200 wells across 160,000 acres in Kansas' Hugoton Gas Field, with an initial commitment to drill at least 25 wells by March 2026.

Overview of the Farm-In Agreement

This farm-in with Scout Energy represents a ‘win-win scenario’ for both firms. M3 Helium is now able to test and develop helium-rich resources across a seven-township area (about 160,000 acres) on the Hugoton Gas Field and tap into infrastructure whose potential has already been established.

Key Terms of the Agreement

A cornerstone of the farm-in agreement is that M3 Helium agreed to drill 25 wells by March 2026 with the option to drill up to 200 wells by the end of agreement. Based on this timeframe, the wells would be drilled in a way to maximise helium production. Additionally, M3 Helium will have the exclusive right to have its wells exit into Scout Energy’s gathering system, which represents a considerable advantage since the infrastructure is already in place.

Exclusivity and Infrastructure Benefits

The key to the agreement is exclusivity awarded to M3 Helium to utilise Scout Energy’s gathering system. With this system, M3 Helium can sidestep many of the costs involved with helium transport and processing. The gathering system provides a direct pipeline to market for M3 Helium, which means it can avoid many of the ugly delays that come with trying to build new infrastructure.

Also, the existing pipeline infrastructure and the nearby proximity of wells to those pipelines help streamline the process. With M3 Helium’s drilling efforts connected to Scout’s infrastructure, the logistical considerations are minimised, and the potential for extracting helium is maximised.

Understanding the Hugoton Gas Field

The Hugoton Gas Field is one of the oldest and the largest natural gas fields in the United States and has a long productive history spanning more than 90 years. The location also happens to be a very well known source of helium, which is one of the main reasons why M3 Helium has located their operations there. The reason the Hugoton Gas Field is so abundant in helium is because the geology of the field promotes the presence of helium. Helium is often found with natural gas, which is the main product of the Hugoton Gas Field.

Since thousands of wells have already been drilled in the field, they have a production history that will inform the drilling of the new wells: ‘We will know where to go and what to expect.’ This production history can help determine the optimal amount of permits – and where to drill them – to maximise production while minimising their costs and the associated risk of exploratory activities.

Financial Implications of the Deal

The financial implications of the farm-in agreement are sizable. M3 Helium stands to benefit from cheaper operating costs because of the access to Scout’s infrastructure. The two-stage arrangement lets M3 Helium drill wells on Scout property at a fraction of the value of a regular lease – word on the street is around $50 per acre. All told, that adds up to about $8 million in total, a fraction of the cost it would be to secure such real estate in the open market.

This puts M3 Helium in a solid financial position to invest in technology and innovation to improve its extraction, while the fixed price of helium shields the company from volatility to ensure steady revenue as its production increases.

The David and Goliath Dynamic

The relationship between M3 Helium and Scout Energy illustrates one of those classic David-and-Goliath energy stories: M3 Helium is the small newbie player, and Scout Energy is the big, established operator. But M3 Helium gets the benefit of Scout Energy’s infrastructure and operational expertise and avoids much of the financial risk.

Such joint ventures are less common – especially in mature industries such as helium production. The unusual positioning of M3 Helium within this partnership is not only making it more effective operationally. It is also giving it a stronger competitive market position in a traditionally oligopolistic market. This strategic partnership shows the potential that small companies have for growing through strategic collaborations.

Conclusion: Looking Ahead for M3 Helium

Life looks good. This joint venture between M3 Helium and Scout Energy is great news for the company. The reduction in operating costs, access to current infrastructure and the fixed tolling fee model will put them in a good position as they scale. They have pledged a commitment of a minimum of 25 wells to drill by March 2026. If they go beyond that, even better.

Through its commitment to green practices and thoughtful stewardship of its resources, M3 Helium is sure to solidify its brand in the marketplace.

Zak Mir talks to Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One PLC

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:56:52 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One, which is advancing strategic minerals projects in Finland and Norway after they announced that re-assaying of historical diamond core drillholes from the Black Schist Project Paltamo P1 target in Finland has identified high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt-zinc mineralisation across two intersections within a black schist sequence.

Results further demonstrate the strength of the Company’s project pipeline and support Metals One’s longer‐term ambition of defining a 200 Mt resource at the Black Schist Project, where the current resource stands at 57.1 Mt Ni-Cu-Co-Zn over the R1 and P5 areas.

Key points covered:

Recent Findings: The company announced high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt, and zinc mineralization results from the Black Schist Project's P1 target in Finland. This reinforces Metals One's goal of increasing the resource from 57 million tons to 200 million tons.
Project Goals: While the 200-million-ton target is ambitious, Owen explains that the company quickly doubled its initial resource from 28 million tons to over 57 million tons within 12 months of listing. The company’s long-term goal is to reach 200 million tons, but ongoing economic assessments will determine the true economic viability of the project.
Future Outlook: The company is waiting for results from its Norway project and a preliminary economic assessment for the Finland projects, which will provide critical information on the economics and break-even points of the operations
High-Grade Mineralization Discovery: Metals One recently discovered high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt, and zinc mineralization at the P1 target in Finland. This is part of their broader Black Schist Project. This discovery has reduced the exploration risk for the company significantly and supports their long-term goal of expanding the resource base to 200 million tons.
Resource Expansion Plans: Metals One has been able to double its resource size from 28 million tons to 57 million tons shortly after listing, with plans to reach a 200 million ton resource. Jonathan Owen highlights that this larger target provides a positive market perception and sentiment. However, the actual economic viability of reaching such a target will be determined by an ongoing scoping study.
Scoping Study and Economic Assessment: The company is conducting a preliminary economic assessment of the Finland project, carried out by Ward L Armstrong International mining consultancy. This assessment, expected to conclude in December, will clarify the project’s economic feasibility, providing metrics like break-even points, capital expenditure (capex), and net present value (NPV). This study will help determine the true value of the 57-million-ton resource and whether it is a viable asset on its own, with the 200-million-ton target acting as an added bonus.
Upcoming Assays and Norway Project: Owen also mentions that they are awaiting assay results from their Norway project, where a joint venture with Kings Rose Mining is ongoing. This project has seen significant progress over the summer, and the results are expected soon.
Positive Momentum: Overall, the company has experienced a strong year with positive news flow. The termination of the Guns Farm-in Agreement has boosted confidence among the company’s directors, and the doubling of resources over the summer adds to the momentum.
In summary, Metals One is strategically positioned with strong ongoing projects in Finland and Norway, aiming to grow its resources and solidify the economic value of its mining operations through upcoming studies and assessments.

Zak Mir talks to Mark Routh, CEO of Prospex Energy

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 10:35:06 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Mark Routh, CEO of Prospex Energy, as the AIM-quoted investment company focused on European gas and power projects announced that it has qualified to apply for onshore open acreage hydrocarbon exploration licences in Poland.

Key points covered:

Expansion into Poland: Prospex Energy has spent about a year preparing to apply for licenses in Poland, demonstrating both financial and technical capability.
European Growth Strategy: The company is not seeking "domination," but rather expansion, aiming to grow into a significant European gas-producing company.
Current Projects: Prospex Energy is already operating in Spain and Italy, and Poland is viewed as a long-term growth project, with drilling expected in 2–3 years.
Self-Funding Plan: As their projects in Spain and Italy develop and increase production, they hope to be self-funded for future expansions into Poland.
Market Perspective: While there may be concerns about taking on too much, Routh is confident in the company’s strategy and the ability to attract potential partners.

Mark Routh, Prospex’s CEO, commented:

“After several months of preparation, I am very pleased to announce that Prospex is applying for licences to search for and develop onshore natural gas in a third European nation. Poland is well known for its hydrocarbon resources and has a regulatory regime which is supportive of natural gas investment with a track record in quickly approving permits for hydrocarbon exploitation activities as the nation focusses on its security of energy supply.

“There are several reasons for choosing to expand into Poland, aside from the favourable regulatory environment and prospective hydrocarbons, one of them being our experience in country. The Prospex senior team has valuable prior exploration experience in Poland and is very familiar with the regional geology and importantly, the regulatory environment. During the operational phase in 2016 Prospex met all local regulatory commitments, which puts the Company in a good position to leverage the experience and relationships gained at that time.

“The Prospex technical team has identified attractive onshore areas for the application and we hope to be able to announce a positive outcome from the applications in Q1 2025.

“The Company’s strategy is to add additional geographic reach to the existing portfolio of producing assets in a cost-effective manner. The Company’s entry into Poland has been financed entirely from production income.

“I look forward to updating shareholders on progress with these applications in the coming months.”

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 14:25:43 +0000

Jason Brewer flowed into London from Nairobi, Kenya, this week for meetings with broker houses, investors, and company representatives, not forgetting his flight today across to Dublin to attend the Unicorn Mineral Resources annual general meeting.

Share Talk asked Jason to call into the London SE1 studio, where Zak Mir was hosting proceedings. Here is the full interview. We have not edited or removed any of the questions/answers. Holders and investors of Marula Mining should be aware that the company’s directors are no longer in a closed period.

Jason Brewer, a director involved with multiple junior mining companies discusses various aspects of the mining industry and companies he’s associated with, particularly focusing on Marula Mining, Neo Energy Metals, and Unicorn Mineral Resources.

Key highlights from the initial part of the video:

Jason mentions he cannot pick a favorite company to avoid upsetting shareholders. He talks about the growth and progress of all his companies, specifically Marula and Neo.
Neo recently gained attention due to a significant acquisition of uranium and gold resources in South Africa, which excited the market.
Neo is working through additional transactions and has strong backing from uranium funds in Europe and North America, which helps alleviate concerns about funding in the current market climate.

The interview continues with Jason Brewer discussing the unique position of his companies, particularly focusing on funding and strategic development:

Secured Funding: Jason highlights that his companies have eliminated the uncertainty of funding by securing investments early on. This allows them to focus on project delivery without the need for frequent fundraising, which is a common challenge for junior mining companies. He mentions how some other companies rely on heavily discounted placements, which they avoid through strategic planning.
Market Perception: Despite securing funding, there remains skepticism in the market, with investors frequently asking about the next fundraising round. Jason emphasizes that securing a strategic partner allows them to focus on project development in a more streamlined manner without interruptions.
Unicorn Mineral Resources: Unicorn is a standard-listed company that has been on the market for just over a year. Jason’s involvement has brought a focus on African projects, which are aligned with Unicorn’s base metals strategy. He mentions a general meeting and ongoing due diligence on a series of projects in Africa, expressing excitement for the company’s future.
Marula Mining: Jason talks about Marula, a company focused on battery metals in East and Southern Africa. He mentions several operations, including manganese in East Africa, copper in Tanzania, and lithium. The company is pushing forward with projects like the Kify plant for manganese, a copper mining site in Tanzania, and plans for a large Heap Leach operation by 2025.

Zak Mir talks to Rupert Verco, CEO of Cobra Resources - achieved exceptionally high recoveries of rare earth elements

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:41:27 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Rupert Verco, CEO of Cobra Resources, as the mineral exploration and development company advancing a potentially world-class ionic Rare Earth Elements discovery at its Boland Project in South Australia announced the results from ongoing metallurgical studies. This included exceptionally high recoveries of up to 82% of high-value rare earths.

Key Points:

High Recovery Rates: Cobra Resources has achieved exceptionally high recoveries of rare earth elements, particularly magnet and heavy rare earths, with up to 82% recovery from samples containing 0.5% total rare earth oxides. These results are promising due to the low levels of impurities, leading to reduced processing costs.
Market Understanding and Challenges: Despite strong results, the market may not fully understand the significance of the REEs or may be impacted by broader market conditions. The company has faced challenges in raising capital, but maintains strong support from major shareholders, minimizing dilution.
Scalability and Environmental Impact: The project utilizes a unique geological setting favorable for "in-situ recovery" (ISR), a process involving injecting and extracting a solution to mobilize rare earths without moving ore, resulting in low environmental impact and cost. This method is well-established in uranium mining and considered scalable for REEs.
Market and Strategic Positioning: Demand for heavy rare earths remains high, with current reliance on supply from China and some emerging sources like Brazil. Cobra aims to produce rare earths responsibly and cost-competitively, contributing to the West's efforts to reduce dependence on China for critical minerals necessary for energy efficiency and decarbonization.
Future Plans and Commercial Options: Cobra is exploring options including joint ventures or sales while focusing on proving up their resource to ensure it is marketable and economically viable.

The discussion highlights Cobra Resources' strategic approach to rare earth production, leveraging unique geological advantages, scalable processes, and positioning in a market with growing demand for critical minerals.

Zak Mir talks to Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One PLC

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 15:06:01 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One, after the recent announcement that the company which is advancing strategic minerals projects in Finland and Norway, said that the Company’s Råna Project partner and operator, Kingsrose Mining Limited, has entered into a service agreement with Arctic Drilling AS, for the commencement of helicopter supported core drilling at the Rånbogen prospect on the Råna Project in August 2024.

The program aims to prove two high-priority targets by September, with results expected in October.

The Rana Project, a former successful mining site, holds promising geological potential near the base of the intrusion.

Successful drilling could lead to extensive resource definition and potential development, moving from exploration to a more de-risked development phase. Kingsrose Mining has invested over $3 million and is approaching a majority shareholding in the joint venture, demonstrating a strong commitment to the project’s prospects.

Metals One benefits from a free carry on the project, relying on Kings Rose’s expertise and operational leadership.

Highlights

· Drilling is anticipated to complete in early September 2024, with assay results expected in October to November 2024

· Drilling is focused on two targets identified last year through geophysics

· Compelling targets comprise shallow, highly conductive electromagnetic (“EM”) anomalies immediately down dip from mineralised nickel-copper-cobalt massive sulphide at surface (*see Figure 2)

· Completion of a minimum 700m drilling will satisfy the drilling milestones under Metals One (via Scandinavian Resource Holdings Pty Ltd’s) Transaction Implementation Agreement with Kingsrose and Global Energy Metals (*see Kingsrose’s ASX announcement dated 18 January 2023)

· Arctic Drilling is a Norwegian owned and domiciled company based out of Finnmark County, Norway, bringing extensive experience of operating in arctic regions with local knowledge

Jonathan Owen, Chief Executive Officer of Metals One, commented:

“It’s great news that Kingsrose is ready to begin drilling again at the Råna Project. This strategic work programme is aimed at testing two compelling anomalies characterised by highly conductive EM responses down dip of nickel-copper-cobalt mineralised massive sulphide in outcrop, which were identified during last year’s core drilling and are located within a previously undrilled area.

We look forward to updating shareholders on the progress at the Råna Project as Kingsrose continues to build on the high-grade results from last year’s drilling to verify the largely underexplored Råna intrusion’s scale potential.”

Zak Mir talks to Mark Routh, CEO Prospex Energy

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 13:51:01 +0000

Prospex Energy (AIM: PXEN), an investor in European gas and power projects, announced that Spanish regulatory authorities have granted a 10-year extension to the El Romeral 1, 2, and 3 natural gas production concessions, owned by Tarba Energia. Prospex holds a 49% interest in El Romeral through its investment in Tarba.

The royal decree, signed on July 24, 2024, permits the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) to extend the El Romeral natural gas concessions for 10 years, the maximum allowable term.

This extension ensures the supply of electricity to the Spanish grid from the El Romeral gas facility and power plant until at least July 2034, with a potential further extension to 2044.

El Romeral is currently operating at 30% capacity (2.7 MW) as Tarba awaits permits to drill five additional infill wells on the concessions to boost production. Moreover, an adjacent solar project named "Helios" is expected to add 5 MW, utilizing shared infrastructure with the gas facility.

Commenting on the development, Prospex's CEO Mark Routh said, "The official extension of the El Romeral production concessions for the maximum allowable term of ten years is a very welcome step by the Spanish regulatory authorities. It is also an important official acknowledgment by the Spanish state of the crucial role natural gas will continue to play in the nation's energy security and the ecological transition process."

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) Operational Update from CEO Aiden Lavelle & CFO Jack Kelly

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 06:21:34 +0000

European Green Transition PLC (AIM: EGT) CEO Aiden Lavelle and CFO Jack Kelly take Share Talk Zak Mir through the latest developments at the Limni copper project in Cyprus.

Here is the list of questions:

You announced an option for a Copper Tailings Recycling project in Cyprus back in April and I see you had results out today on this; Aiden, can you please tell us more
Jack, it was mentioned that there is potential for a solar energy project there also – tell me more about that.
Aiden, the Olserum Rare Earth Project in Sweden, which is 100% owned by the company, has announced a raft of positive results over the last few months. How are things progressing there?
What’s next up for the Olserum Rare Earths project? It was mentioned that drilling is expected to start in H2?
Jack, I found the recently announced Altan Peatland Carbon Credit Project very interesting– how do you see that working?
How do you see the Carbon Credit Project fitting in with EGT’s strategy of ‘developing a portfolio of green economy assets’?

Encouraging Preliminary Sample Results from Copper Tailings Recycling Project

Lavelle announced promising results from the initial due diligence phase of the project. The company collected 68 samples, revealing acid-soluble copper concentrations ranging from 0.4% to 0.9%. This finding indicates that the mine waters are leaching copper from oxidized tailings and re-precipitating it during the dry season, confirming the potential for copper recovery.

Additionally, the company identified significant gold potential, with rock samples showing grades up to 1.5 grams per ton. Lavelle noted that this gold likely went unnoticed during the original mining operations in the 1960s and 70s.

These findings bolster the company’s confidence to proceed with further due diligence and low-cost sampling to validate the copper recovery model. Lavelle emphasized that Cyprus provides a cost-effective environment for advancing the project towards potential near-term revenue generation.

Highlights

· The first stage of diligence on the Cyprus Copper Tailings Recycling Project at the past-producing Limni copper mine has delivered encouraging results across 68 samples.

· Acid soluble copper ranging from 0.41% to 0.92% found in crusts clearly demonstrates the presence of copper in water at surface.

· Results also indicate potential upside for gold, with samples of up to 1.48 g/t Au recorded from waste near the edge of the pit.

· EGT will now progress to the next stage of diligence as part of its option agreement (as announced on 29 April 2024) to develop a copper tailings recycling project through low-cost water treatment and tailings development, with subsequent potential for solar development.

Aiden Lavelle, Chief Executive Officer of European Green Transition, said:

“The first stage of diligence at the Limni site has yielded encouraging results, indicating the potential for recovering a meaningful amount of copper, in addition to newly identified gold potential at the site which offers further upside for the project. Dry sulphate crust samples returned grades of acid-soluble copper ranging from 0.41% Cu to 0.92% Cu and averaging 0.756% Cu. We were also pleased to find indications of gold in rock chip samples taken from the pit edge, with results up to 1.48 g/t providing additional upside value.

“As a next step, we will now progress to the next stage of diligence as part of our 12-month option agreement. This will include further rock sampling, water sampling, and analysis of the potential for solar development at the site.”

Zak Mir talks to Zac Philips, Adviser, Oak Securities, regarding Helix Exploration

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 15:30:00 +0000

The helium exploration and development company focused on helium deposits within the ‘Montana Helium Fairway’, after the company announced the commencement of construction work on an access road and drill pad, at the Ingomar Dome project area in Montana.

The latest Oak Securities note on Helix Exploration: Oak Securities – Helix Exploration (HEX) – Rudyard Acquisition (FINAL)

Highlights

· Construction commenced of 0.75-mile access road and drill pad at Ingomar

· Two well Q3 2024 drilling program: Clink #1 well at Ingomar and Darwin #1 well at Rudyard

· Drilling of Clink #1 well to commence following completion of civils

· Combined budget cost of the two well programmes are estimated at approximately $4.1m which demonstrates the potential for the Company to operate cost-effective exploration and development within the state of Montana

Timeline

Construction on the access road and drill pad has commenced at the Clink #1 location within the Ingomar Dome Project. The access road has been surveyed at 0.75 miles, allowing Civils work to be completed relatively quickly over a short development distance.

Following completion of Civils the Company targets to commence drilling operations in early-August:

· Mobilisation and rig-up is anticipated to take approx. 1 week

· Drilling is anticipated to take approx. 3-4 weeks

· Wireline and well completion is anticipated to take approx. 1 week

· Flow testing and appraisal is anticipated to take approx. 4 weeks

The Company will keep investors updated as drilling progresses via RNS, potentially including updates on commencement of drilling, significant helium gas shows in drilling mud, wireline results, initial flow test results and full flow test results.

Budget

Quoted costs for drilling at Ingomar and Rudyard have come in below budget:

The quoted cost for drilling and appraising the Clink #1 well at Ingomar is approximately $2,130,000 including extended well test but excluding contingencies. Significant savings were achieved using local suppliers from within the state of Montana, reducing mobilisation costs and standing-time charges.

The estimated cost for drilling and appraising the Darwin #1 well at Rudyard is approximately $1,980,000 including extended well test but excluding contingencies. The cost of drilling at Rudyard is lower than Ingomar due to the shallower target depth at ~5,500ft at Rudyard compared to ~8,000ft at Ingomar.

The Company benefits from relatively low drilling costs in Montana compared with other jurisdictions as well as from savings made by the Company in vendor selection. Expected savings to be achieved will help maintain adequate funding for planned development activities after completing the two-well Q3 2024 drilling campaign. These activities may include project pipeline growth, detailed plant engineering and construction financing.

Helix Exploration is a helium exploration company focused on the exploration and development of helium deposits within the 'Montana Helium Fairway'. Founded by industry experts with extensive experience of helium systems in the US, the Company's assets comprise of 52 leases over the Ingomar Dome; a large closure of 16,512 acres with P50 unrisked prospective helium resource of 2.3Bcf and upside of 6.7 billion cubic feet. Historic drilling and/or testing has identified gas in all target reservoir horizons.

Helix Exploration will focus on a drilling campaign and early production at the Montana Ingomar Dome Project. An aggressive development timeline will see a drilling campaign targeted for Q3 2024 and first helium production targeted for Q4 2025. Helix is committed to open and transparent communication with investors and the wider market as the project progresses through development.

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 11:01:36 +0000

Kavango Resources (LON: KAV), the Southern Africa-focused metals exploration company, announced the successful completion of drilling the first high-priority target at the Karakubis Copper Project in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt.

Field analysis of drill cores taken from this target confirms the presence of a copper-silver mineralising system at Karakubis, as well as further indicators of structural trap sites. KAV said it started drilling at Karakubis to confirm the presence of a copper-silver mineralising system. Results from its first target have surpassed its expectations.

This validates the geological model and confirms the potential to discover a large-scale copper/silver deposit.

Kavango Resources* (KAV LN) 1. 53p, Mkt Cap £21m – Early validation of the exploration model at Karakubis, Botswana

Kavango Resources reports that its drilling at the Karakubis project in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana has confirmed “the presence of a copper-silver mineralising system at Karakubis, as well as further indicators of structural trap sites”.
Based on the results of hand-held pXRF analysis of the drill core “suggests the mobilisation of copper sulphides in mineralising fluids within the system, and may provide a vector towards further mineralisation” and reported “local values of up to 1.8% copper, 723ppm lead, 264ppm zinc and 116ppm silver”.
The company says that the drill core “is being cut and sampled and will be dispatched for assay in due course” and that the “drill rig … [has been] … mobilised to the second high-priority target … [where] … Hole KCBDD003 is currently at 232.58m”.
CEO, Ben Turney, explained that within the first 500m of the planned 5,000m drilling programme at Karakubis the company had shown the “the presence of a copper-silver mineralising system” which validates the geological model and meets the prime objective of this phase of the exploration.
Mr. Turney said that “Kavango looks forward to building on these results as our drilling continues … [and with] … a further 4,300m of drilling planned over our remaining 14 high-priority targets, we believe our chances of discovery success have increased significantly”.

Conclusion: Early stages of the drilling at Karakubis have helped to validate the exploration model and we look forward to detailed assay results from the early drilling and further results as the rest of the 5,000m programme continues.
Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

“We started drilling at Karakubis to confirm the presence of a copper-silver mineralising system. Results from our first target have surpassed our expectations. The validate our geological model and confirm the potential to discover a large-scale copper/silver deposit.

Our original goal in the drill campaign was to prove the presence of a copper mineralising system and structural regional traps within Karakubis. We’ve met this objective within our first 500m. This speaks to our team’s meticulous preparations prior to drilling. I would like to thank everyone involved for all they have contributed.

The core from the two holes validates the interpretations we’ve applied to modelling the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB). In particular, the core highlights rock sequences consistent with and comparable to descriptions of lower D’Kar Formation sequences to the west in Namibia and along strike towards Sandfire Resources’ (ASX:SFR) Motheo Mine to the northeast. The contact position between the D’Kar Formation and Ngwako Pan Formation is one of the main regional controls for large-scale copper/silver deposits and will be tested by other holes in the programme.

The intersection of pathfinder elements and pyrite, along with copper values in our pXRF readings, provides an encouraging indicator of the presence of structural trap sites. Such traps have enabled the accumulation of economic copper deposits elsewhere in the KCB.

Kavango looks forward to building on these results as our drilling continues. This is our most ambitious drill programme to date. Preparations took two years to maximise our chances of discovery success.

Now that we have received such strong confirmation that our modelling appears to be correct, we move forward in eager anticipation. With a further 4,300m of drilling planned over our remaining 14 high-priority targets, we believe our chances of discovery success have increased significantly.”

Drill Objective

Kavango’s exploration and drilling strategy at Karakubis is to validate the interpretations made to date from modelling of geological and geophysical data and to establish the stratigraphic position in the system, verify the presence of structural trap sites and confirm the presence of a copper/silver mineralising system through identification of pathfinder minerals.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources (LON:KAV) talking to Zaks Traders Cafe

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 03 May 2024 10:36:00 +0000

Kavango Resources plc (LSE: KAV), the Southern Africa-focused metals exploration company, announced the Company has raised £3,085,366 by the issue of 257,113,862 New Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (“New Ordinary Shares”) at a price per share of 1.2 pence, via an underwritten accelerated bookbuild.

Share Talk took the opportunity to catch up with CEO Ben Turney to hear his thoughts and what the future holds for investors.

The company announced yesterday that it has agreed to updated terms for the exercise of the Hillside Call Option with the vendors of the Hillside Project ("Hillside") and Leopard South Project. Kavango has granted a royalty of 5% of gold production on the properties, capped at a value of $1,500,000, and which Kavango may at its option buy out within 12 months for an issue of 63,125,000 shares in the Company.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango, commented:

“Following the successful completion of the £3.08million financing, we’ve finalised terms on exercising the Hillside project option. The accelerated bookbuild was an innovative funding approach that was only possible thanks to Purebond’s strong support for Kavango and has helped us defend our recent share price gains in difficult market conditions.

In completing this transaction, Kavango becomes the sole owner of a significant ground holding in a highly prospective area for large-scale gold mining. Our recent drill results from Hillside have confirmed the region’s great potential. Highlights from our first two holes included 7.2m @ 9.95g/t at Prospect 2 and 2.53m @ 29.08g/t at Prospect 4. We plan to return soon with the drill rig to follow up on these targets to test for bulk-minable ore bodies.

Meanwhile, through Kavango Mining, we will continue to increase profitable gold production at Hillside. Encouragingly, production in April was just over 1kg, representing a second consecutive profitable month. It is encouraging that this business unit is performing better than expected and before we invest in new equipment. We will shortly announce a capital investment programme to grow production over the coming months.

I must congratulate all our team for the excellent work they are doing. Our exploration team is performing extremely well and the Kavango Mining team has got off to a great start. We are laying a strong foundation in Zimbabwe to build a successful business together.”

Mosman Oil and Gas (LON:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll - Progress at EP 145 project, with Govt approval

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 01 May 2024 15:07:58 +0000

Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (LON: MSMN), spoke with Share Talk with the news that the company has received the final Government approval on the Farmin of its Australian project EP 145, in which Mosman currently holds a 100% interest.

Work now continues to secure all required approvals for the next step of exploration by Farmin partner, Greenvale Energy Ltd (ASX: GRV / 'Greenvale').

Farmin Agreement

A Farmin Agreement was signed with a subsidiary of Greenvale in October 2023, where it can earn 75% interest by funding seismic acquisition and drilling a well (to a cap of AUD 5.5 million). With the approval from the Northern Territory government now in place, the Farmin will proceed accordingly.

Greenvale will earn a 75% working interest in EP 145 by:

· Paying AUD 160,000 in cash to Mosman within 5 business days.

· Paying for the EP 145 Permit Year 3 Work Programme, including seismic acquisition and processing.

· Funding the Permit Year 4 Work Programme, including drilling one well with a well cost cap of AUD 5.5 million.

· The Year 3 Work Programme is to be completed by August 2024; the cost of the seismic acquisition is estimated to be circa AUD 2 million.

· The Year 4 Work Programme is to be completed by August 2025. The cost of drilling a well depends on many factors including the depth of a well and cost of drilling rigs at the time of drilling.

The seismic acquisition programme is planned for mid-2024, followed by drilling in 2025.

Background to EP145

Two wells have been drilled in EP 145 and both encountered hydrocarbons and were not tested for hydrogen or helium. Most wells in the Amadeus Basin that have been tested for helium have significant helium content.

A seismic data set was reprocessed by Mosman and it identified a large structure which may be an extension of the Mereenie anticline structure. Mosman published a Prospective Resource estimate for EP-145 in October 2022 (detailed below).

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources (LON:KAV) Talking To Share Talk

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 10:19:37 +0000

It has been a while since we last spoke to Ben, the recent news was the preliminary interpretation for geophysical survey data on its property in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt (“KCB”), from South Africa-based New Resolution Geophysics.

Ben Turney comments on Kavango's analysis of regional copper-silver deposits in the KCB. He notes the importance of basin and sub-basin structures, including basin margins and intravaginal highs, in sedimentary copper models. Turney expresses confidence in the company’s exploration program in the KCB, suggesting that their data points to the presence of a large-scale system capable of hosting significant copper-silver deposits. Plans for further ground geophysics and drilling later in the quarter are mentioned.

Key insights from this content include:

Focus: Recent geophysical survey data on Kavango Resources' property in the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) in Botswana.
Key Finding: A WSW-ENE trending ~9 milligal gravity high at Kara, under the Kara anticline.
Historic Drilling Data: Confirms the existence of lower D'Kar Formation in the mapped fold structures.
Analysis of Copper-Silver Deposits: Emphasis on the role of basin and sub-basin structures, including basin margins and intrabasinal highs in sedimentary copper models.
Company’s Confidence: Kavango believes their ground covers a large-scale system that could host significant copper-silver deposits.
Exploration Programme: The integration of different exploration data sets pointing to the potential for significant deposits.
Next Steps: Defining final target areas for ground geophysics and drilling planned later in the quarter.
Team’s Contribution: Acknowledgement of the Kavango team’s efforts in the exploration program.

Kavango Resources (LON: KAV) BOTS – Preliminary KCB Heliborne Geophysics Interp

Highlights

· Helicopter-borne gravity has clearly defined a WSW-ENE trending ~9 milliGal gravity high (Kara) underlying the Kara Anticline.

· Historic drilling by ENRG, from whom Kavango in 2023 acquired a 90% interest in 6 licences, confirms the existence of lower DKF in the fold structures recently mapped and noted pathfinder minerals, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

“Based on its analysis of regional copper-silver deposits in the KCB, Kavango believes the configuration of basin and sub-basin structures, including basin margins and intra-basinal highs, plays a pivotal role in many sedimentary copper models.

We’re quietly confident our Kalahari Copper Belt exploration programme is going to deliver.

The different exploration data sets we’ve gathered appears to point in the same direction, namely that our ground covers the style of large-scale system that could host significant copper-silver deposits.

We are now defining final target areas to test with ground geophysics and then drilling a little later this quarter.

This is great work from the Kavango team. Thank you all.”

The NRG geophysical survey covered 2,374 line-km of helicopter heliborne Time Domain Electromagnetic (“EM”), Magnetic, and Gravity data (announced >>> 22 March 2024)

Edward Wyvill - Amaroq Minerals (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ) talking to Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 15:51:17 +0000

Today we spoke with Edward Wyvill, Corp. Development commented on the successful completion of its significantly oversubscribed proposed Fundraising as announced on 12th Feb 2024. Greenland is home to vast, untapped deposits of valuable minerals with high-grade extension of Target Block confirmed at Nalunaq

Amaroq Minerals Ltd., an independent mine development company with a substantial land package in Southern Greenland, has been listed on the Nasdaq Main Market in Iceland. This move from the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Iceland to the Main Market is expected to increase the visibility of the company and possibly make it eligible for inclusion in Icelandic and international stock market indices.

The transition to the Main Market is seen as a strategic step for Amaroq, potentially attracting more Icelandic institutional investors, including pension funds. This could be significant given the substantial assets managed by these funds.

On Monday the company confirmed, further to its announcement on 11 February 2024, its intention to conduct a placing and subscription of new common shares to raise gross proceeds of approximately £30.0 million (equivalent to approximately C$51.0 million or ISK5.2 billion) at a price of 74 pence (C$1.25, ISK127) per new Common Share, with the net proceeds being used to accelerate development and exploration activities.

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, commented:

“We are investing to increase recoveries at Nalunaq and to accelerate our exploration plans in our strategic mineral acreage across Southern Greenland, which has become one of the last frontiers for Western governments and companies to secure scaled supply of strategic minerals so desperately needed for the energy transition. By further de-risking the development of Nalunaq whilst also advancing exploration in both gold and strategic minerals, we believe we can deliver value for shareholders. It is a very exciting time to be the largest acreage holder in Southern Greenland.”

On January 24, 2024, Amaroq Minerals announced the provisional results from its 2023 exploration programme on the Sava copper project, at the centre of the developing South Greenland copper belt.

James Gilbertson, VP of Exploration of Amaroq, commented:

“Our 2023 drill programme at Sava has identified further evidence of a significant copper mineral system at Target West. These results, on previously overlooked ground, suggest the presence of a typical large scale porphyry-style system and are testament to our discovery strategy and geological team. Target West is the first of multiple copper targets within Amaroq’s portfolio. We have now confirmed skarn mineralisation with up to 11.6% Cu at Kobberminebugt, porphyry-style mineralisation at Sava with assays up to 2.0% CuEq and numerous other porphyry, and epithermal targets across a belt extending over 120km.

“2023 proved to be a very promising first year for our 3-year funded exploration programme through the Gardaq JV. At present we have identified tonnage and remain close to surface. We will now continue to drill the targets to identify and locate high-grade mineralisation. Subject to results, we would expect to be in a position to define the feasibility of a project such as this after 3-5 years and at that stage establish a pathway towards permitting and development.”

As today’s newsflow reminds us, since listing the progress of the company has been faultless in terms of proving up its assets, and indeed, in this case, other’s progress next door to First Class Metals in the West Pickle Lake area, chonolith/feeder dyke structures now extend over more than five kilometres of strike length.

First Class Metals (LON: FCM) the UK metals exploration company, reported that Palladium One continues to intersect potentially economic Ni-Cu mineralisation in and around the West Pickle Lake Joint Venture area.

FCM said it remains encouraged by the progress the Palladium One exploration is making in the WPL zone and the wider discovery area. Particularly the success near to the FCM claim boundary with the results from TK23-128. FCM will continue to pursue third-party interest in this sector of North Hemlo.

First Class Metals Sunbeam Property: High-Grade Gold Assay Results

Whatever the share price is in its range, FCM reminds us that it continues to prove its assets. Yesterday the focus was on Sunbeam, where once again, Marc and the team are getting on with the job.

First Class Metals announced high-grade gold assays from channel sampling undertaken following the recently completed exploration at the Company’s 100% owned Sunbeam property. FCM said that since it optioned Sunbeam in late 2022, it has made quick and significant progress in developing the Property both in terms of understanding the mineralisation and increasing its scale. The channel results from Roy and Pettigrew are most encouraging and have identified drill targets at both locations.

The expectation is that several Agronomics portfolio companies’ products gain regulatory approvals this year.

Liberation Labs’ factory is expected to come online and begin generating cash. The stock is therefore supported by some relatively near-term events that should increase the value of the business.

Agronomics is a leading London-listed company focusing on investment opportunities within the field of cellular agriculture.

Zak Mir talking to Chief Operating Officer, Mike Whitlow with today's confirmation from the company that its subsidiary, Mercator Gold Australia Pty Limited, has agreed to effect the sale of two under-utilised non-core assets.

2023 has been a brutal year, even companies that have done nothing wrong are in negative equity. Are we at the bottom, will 2004 be better on a micro level, liquidity?

ECR Managing Director Nick Tulloch commented: “We have had a stated plan to realise value from assets within ECR that we are not using or do not require. Finalising these two agreements before the end of 2023 exceeds our expectations on timing but the fact that the expected proceeds from these sales should exceed our G&A expenses for the coming year is particularly pleasing.

It is a little over three months since Mike Whitlow and I joined the Company. In that time, we have recapitalised the Company, re-positioned our portfolio to be more cost-effective, commenced a drilling campaign and now realised funds from non-core assets.

We believe 2024 holds a great deal of promise for ECR and we look forward to updating shareholders on our ongoing progress.”

Ben Turney, CEO of Kavango Resources (LON:KAV) Talking With Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 15:56:44 +0000

We caught up with Ben, and our first question was what investors should focus on going into 2024.

Kavango Resources, a company specializing in metal exploration in Southern Africa, recently secured a £6M investment from Purebond, granting them a 52.4% stake in Kavango’s share capital.

Ben outlined the reasons for Purebond’s £6M investment and detailed the investors behind Purebond, along with his plans for utilizing the funds.

Having access to capital in the current market must put Kavango in a very strong position! Plus let’s not forget the people behind the capital, brothers, billionaires, British-based.

This investment has enabled Kavango to pivot its focus in 2023, leading to the successful acquisition of six Prospecting Licenses in the Kalahari Copper Belt of Botswana. Here, they have initiated a helicopter-based geophysical study to explore the area’s copper and silver prospects.

Additionally, in Southern Zimbabwe, Kavango has recently taken over three promising large-scale gold mining projects near Bulawayo. The company has also acquired a 15% stake in Pambili Natural Resources Corporation in Matabeleland.

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 15:33:40 +0000

Fortune 100 Insurer Nationwide partners with Ondo to offer LeakBot to U.S. customers

Ondo InsurTech Plc (“Ondo”), the London-listed leader in claims prevention technology for home insurers, is pleased to announce today a new partnership with Fortune 100 insurance company Nationwide to offer the LeakBot device to U.S. homeowners insurance customers as part of the insurer’s Smart Home Program.

Nationwide is a Fortune 100 insurance and financial services company based in Columbus, Ohio and is the eighth largest homeowners insurer in the U.S1. Nationwide has led innovation in the U.S. with its Smart Home Program – a new innovative way for the company’s homeowners insurance customers to keep their homes safe with connected, smart devices that can notify customers of potential hazards in their homes.

Nationwide has now selected LeakBot as a water damage prevention system that can be offered within the program. This new offering will help to fill a common protection gap that many homeowners may face. According to a new Agency Forward survey from Nationwide, less than 10% of homeowners utilize smart sensors that can monitor water leaks or flow in their homes, despite water damage being a leading cause of non-weather claims.

Nationwide and Ondo are now working towards the first state launch which is planned for early in 2024 – details to be announced at a later date. Following the successful deployment, the companies intend to expand into additional states in 2024 and beyond.

Sarah Jacobs, Vice President of Personal Lines Product Development at Nationwide said “The average cost of a water claim is more than $12,000, but many water losses are preventable. We’re excited to offer the LeakBot solution to our customers to help reduce these avoidable accidents and offer greater peace of mind that they’re protected from unforeseen damage and disruption in their homes.”

Craig Foster, Ondo CEO said “It is a great honour to be chosen by one of the biggest and best insurance companies in the U.S. to deploy our water damage prevention system to Nationwide customers as part of its Smart Home Program. We look forward to making a success of the first state deployments in early 2024 and expanding from there.”

Jason Brewer, Neo Energy Non-Executive Chairman Interview – commences trading on the London Main Market

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:50:14 +0000

Neo Energy Metals Plc celebrates its commencement of trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

Neo Energy Metals Plc, the near-term, low-cost uranium developer, is thrilled to open the London Stock Exchange market today. The company is celebrating the re-admission of its enlarged share capital following the completion of a Reverse Take-Over (‘RTO’) and having raised £4.9 million.

By re-admitting its enlarged share capital to the Market today, Neo Energy signals its ongoing commitment to development and increased access to funding as it looks to become an important supplier to the fast-growing uranium sector.

Neo Energy’s initial focus is on Henkries, an advanced, low-cost uranium project in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa with a clear pathway to near-term production. This exciting project has a current estimated mineral resource of 4.7 million pounds of uranium but is wide open for potential new uranium discoveries given less than 10% of prospective ground has been fully tested. The company’s next steps include increasing the project’s Mineral Resources and updating the initial, positive feasibility study ahead of making a development decision within two years.

Neo Energy has joined the market at an opportune time given the robust uranium market dynamics. As one of the most strategic modern commodities, this clean, safe, reliable, and economic energy source is expected to play an increasingly significant role in the generation of green energy. However, while demand for uranium is growing, the market’s fragile supply chain has become apparent from recent global events.

“Our Listing on the London Stock Exchange today marks a very exciting milestone for Neo Energy, in both our development as well as our future growth plans as we focus on building a position as a key supplier of uranium to support increasing world demand, which remains significant due to constrained supply. The Listing will give shareholders immediate exposure to the uranium sector and access to participate in the growth and future potential of Neo Energy.

Oneiro (LON:ONE) Roderick ‘Rod’ Murray Interview, a company that is looking to drive long-term shareholder value

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 16:09:54 +0000

Oneiro Energy (LON: ONE) launched its London Main Market IPO on 25 May 2023. The energy company raised £1.2 million and started trading publicly with a market cap of £2.226 million. Oneiro listed a few days before the regulator increased the minimum from £700,000 to £30 million.

At the time, Chair Robert Jones enthused that ‘this is just the beginning. The Company is focused on acquiring assets that can bring swift cash flow generation and provide early business stability. Whilst listing is an important milestone, the Board now looks forward to the task of bringing our collective experience to bear in identifying significant acquisition opportunities to drive long-term shareholder value.’

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources (LON:KAV) Talking With Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:34:45 +0000

Been a while since we last spoke to Ben, the recent news was the company announcement of an agreement to acquire six new PLs.

The PLs cover ground adjacent to Kavango’s existing Karakubis Block next to the Namibian border, currently the priority focus in its KCB copper/silver exploration programme. The PLs are also adjacent to the Company’s South Ghanzi block in the KCB, giving Kavango a single, contiguous project area to explore.

Kavango is particularly keen to test the combined potential of PL049/2020, PL052/2020 (in the Karakubis Block) and PL203/2016 (within the area to be acquired and satisfaction of certain other conditions). The Company believes these three PLs cover a single regional system that incorporates notable domed structures, which are key exploration targets in the search for large-scale copper/silver mineralisation.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

“The new licences join up our Karakubis and South Ghanzi blocks, providing us with a contiguous, highly prospective system to explore along strike from major discoveries such as Sandfire Resources’ (ASX:SFR) T3 deposit and Khoemacau Copper Mining’s Zone 5 deposit.

Marula Mining PLC (AQSE:MARU) Chief Executive Officer Jason Brewer talking to Zak Mir

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 11:23:15 +0000

With the current news flow, it is quite hard to pin down Chief Executive Officer Jason Brewer, MARU is on a journey with liquidity never an issue on the AQUS market. If you blink you will miss the progress this company has made over 2023 with Q4 looking quite tasty as well.

Last Friday the company provided an update on the sale of high-grade lithium ore from the Blesberg Lithium and Tantalum Mine in South Africa. The initial sale of 27.5 tonnes of high-grade 6% to 6.5% Li2O grade material will now be transported to Cape Town and scheduled for shipment to Huangpu in China.

Jason Brewer, Marula Mining PLC CEO said: It is very pleasing to see the progress that has been made on the resource drilling and mining works program at the Blesberg Lithium and Tantalum Mine over the past month. PDS Drilling are moving ahead at pace and are now almost 75% through the initial 20-hole diamond drilling program. With the core shed now completed on site, the actual core logging, cutting and sampling of the diamond drill core can now start and with spodumene mineralisation having been observed in some of the drill cores, I am looking forward to the commencement of the assay work and first assay results.

In addition to this ongoing drilling work, we also have the geophysics and multi-spectral satellite imaging work starting across the Blesberg license area and over an additional 1,200km2 license area that we are looking to acquire and expand our footprint in the region. This airborne geophysics and multispectral satellite imaging work should show target areas as broad or bigger than the current area of mining and processing activities.

Marula Mining Plc - Update on AIM Listing

Update the market and shareholders on its intention to seek a listing of Marula's ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market and proposed dual listings on Kenya's Nairobi Securities Exchange and South Africa's Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Craig Foster, CEO of Ondo InsurTech (LON:ONDO) Partnership with PURE Insurance podcast

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 11:01:05 +0000

Ondo announced a new deal with PURE Insurance, its 16th partner globally and 2nd major deal in America, a key focus market for the company going forward in our view.

Ondo InsurTech PLC (LON: ONDO) listed on the London Stock Exchange, a pioneer in home insurance claims prevention technology, has forged a strategic alliance with the US-based PURE Insurance to bolster risk management and diminish preventable claims for PURE’s clientele.

PURE Insurance, a specialist in property and casualty insurance tailored for affluent, conscientious families, boasts a legacy of over 15 years in the business.

Renowned for its transparent operations and synchronicity of objectives, the company proudly serves over 100,000 members spread throughout the US.

As part of this collaboration, PURE is set to launch a pilot program, offering Ondo’s LeakBot system to a handpicked set of members in designated states.

The LeakBot system is adept at spotting minor leaks to prevent them from ballooning into major claims. Jason Metzger, PURE Insurance’s Head of Risk Management, perceives this as an avenue for members to adopt a more hands-on approach towards averting losses.

Metzger commented, "We're amplifying our focus on risk management and are dedicated to discovering methods to curtail preventable claims for our members, especially those linked to water damage. Tools like LeakBot empowers our members to actively thwart small leaks from snowballing into sizable claims."

Craig Foster, CEO of Ondo InsurTech, expressed his enthusiasm, "Today’s announcement marks another endorsement by US insurance firms. We're eager to commence our collaboration with PURE."

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 09:15:36 +0000

Ondo InsurTech PLC (LSE: ONDO), the London-listed firm, has announced its new affiliate partnership with Waterwise, a prominent UK-based water efficiency non-governmental organisation.

They intend to jointly tackle the growing water crisis in the UK, particularly through advocating for technologies that help prevent water leaks.

In an official statement, Ondo declared that its alliance with Waterwise would focus on promoting judicious water usage. This includes leveraging tech solutions like Ondo's LeakBot, an intelligent device engineered to detect water leaks, thereby lowering both consumption and potential damage expenses for households.

Waterwise and Ondo both see an opportunity to bring the insurance and water industries together to help fight the UK's emerging water crisis:

● The UK's water resources are under increasing pressure. We use twice as much water than we did 60 years ago in the UK. We are starting to experience widespread droughts and periodic water shortages, impacted also by climate change.

● UK wildlife is being impacted by the over-abstraction of local streams and rivers.

● 5-6% of GHG emissions are related to our use of water, so reducing household consumption of water is also key to enable the UK to get to net-zero.

● Waterwise believes the UK needs to save in the region of 1,000 Megalitres per day through water efficiency measures to meet future needs.

● Leaking toilets are a surprisingly big part of the problem. Waterwise believes 8% of toilets are leaking 215-400 litres/day (broadly consistent with LeakBot data). If these toilets didn't leak it would save 400 Megalitres of water per day - enough water to meet the needs of 2.8m people

This is where LeakBot can really make a difference. LeakBot can reduce household leaks by 60% and the majority of the leakage in customers' homes that we fix is caused by leaky toilets. Full results of the Portsmouth Water pilot are available here.

Craig Foster, the CEO of Ondo, remarked, "Merging the insurance and water industries to utilize LeakBot is a logical move as it cuts costs for both parties and collectively."

Nathan Richardson, the Policy Head at Waterwise, stated, "With LeakBot, we envisage a scalable solution with the capacity to significantly benefit both the insurance and water sector, and potentially play a key role in reducing the UK's water demand."

Waterwise's research indicates that preventing leaks in toilets alone could conserve enough water to satisfy the needs of 2.8 million people in the UK. By endorsing the widespread implementation of such technologies, Waterwise, often regarded as the UK's autonomous advocate for water efficiency, believes the country could make strides toward achieving a goal of saving 1,000 megalitres of water daily, mitigating environmental impacts and drought risk.

Zak Mir talks to Great Western Mining Executive Chairman Brian Hall

Share Talk LTD — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 16:29:57 +0000

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM – GWMO), which is exploring and developing multiple early-stage gold, silver and copper targets in Nevada, USA, an update on its Western Milling gold and silver processing project.

The market expects that the mill will be ready around August when all is well the permit should be rec’d from NDEP so production can start from around this time. The company has also said that they have done some drilling at OMCO (gold) early this year and will be starting some drilling at Mineral Jackpot (gold & silver) around now

Assuming things continue going well, the company has got to a position where they will be producing precious metals (concentrate) within 4 years of the company being restructured in 2019 and this includes the 6 months that it takes Nevada to issue the permit which they are currently waiting on; all this has been done with the support of shareholders with no debt or other complicated finance arrangements;

In mining terms its actually a pretty impressive timescale given that GWMO is a small company that alongside the production project has made great strides in exploration activities and is also working towards obtaining value for the copper potential

The company has a clearly stated triple-focus strategy:

Commence producing gold and silver from pre-mined material this year
Continue a successful 2-year drilling campaign to pin down gold and silver prospects for appraisal and development
Develop a promising large-scale copper play

Great Western Chairman Brian Hall commented: “At the end of 2020 we produced a doré bar from waste material collected at Mineral Jackpot. Since then, we have established a working production partnership, identified and evaluated greatly increased volumes of material for processing, found an ideal site and are now constructing a mill which will produce precious metals this year. This is a transformational move and an exciting time for Great Western, aimed at producing first revenues and funded directly by shareholders without recourse to any special financing arrangements which could have created a burden for the Company. In parallel, we have a busy season of exploration across our numerous prospects, on which we will be reporting in due course”.

ECR Minerals plc – Victoria Exploration and Queensland Project Updates

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:38:57 +0000

ECR Minerals PLC (AIM: ECR) has announced a shift in its exploration activities towards North Queensland due to lukewarm results from its Victoria operations.

Andrew Haythorpe, CEO of ECR Minerals, expressed mixed feelings about the results from their drilling programs in Victoria. Despite finally obtaining assay results, he admitted they didn’t meet expectations. To mitigate such situations in future, the company will employ cost-effective preliminary work like soil geochemistry and mapping to evaluate prospects before any drilling takes place. This strategy will be applied to future explorations in both Queensland and Victoria.

Zak Mir talks to Amaroq Minerals CEO Eldur Olafsson

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 19 May 2023 09:38:48 +0000

Amaroq Minerals Ltd is an independent mine development company with a substantial land package of gold and strategic mineral assets covering an area of 7,866.85 km2 in Southern Greenland.

Amaroq Minerals (LON: AMRQ) shares have been relatively volatile over the past few months and were even trading for as low as 25p before its rebranding from AEX. Now worth 40p and boasting a CAD$182 million market cap, the company has hit my radar as an excellent speculative opportunity for long-term holders with a multi-year timeframe in mind.

To start with, the company is fairly rare in that it is triple-listed on London’s AIM, Canada’s TAX Venture Exchange, and Iceland’s NASDAQ First North Growth Market. While this does create ‘a bit more work,’ Wyvill considers this a fair trade-off gave ‘three jurisdictions to whom we can market to which opens up a larger audience and access to capital.’

Great Western Mining, Interview with Executive Chairman Brian Hall - Final Results

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 19 May 2023 08:06:05 +0000

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM – GWMO, Euronext Growth – 8GW), announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Share Talk took the opportunity to speak with Brian Hall about yesterday's company update, here are a few of the questions we asked below.

overview of the company and the current focus?
You announced your full-year results for the year ending 2022. Could you pick out any key achievements or interesting points that investors may want to explore?
Investors are particularly interested in your production project and the possibility of a company the size of Great Western producing revenue with the junior resource sector is almost unique. What’s the latest on the project?
Whilst your production and precious metals exploration is exciting it could be said that furthering the copper resource at your Black Mountain project by bringing in a partner would take the company up a few levels. I appreciate that you may be limited on what you can say here but is there anything that you can share with investors?
Finally is there any message that you would like to offer either existing shareholders or people researching the company?

Operational Highlights

· Formed a joint venture for construction of a mill to process precious metals from shallow ore and a large inventory of pre-mined material

· Constructed a 14 km road to the high-altitude Mineral Jackpot properties, providing access to spoil material and drilling locations

· Conducted reverse circulation (“RC”) drill programme on several prospects:

o establishing an extension to the gold vein at the historic OMCO Mine

o Intercepting high grades of shallow depth silver at Mineral Jackpot

o revealing the longest zone of consistently anomalous gold yet identified at Trafalgar Hill

· Conducted drone magnetometry and orthophotography over Huntoon and Tun prospects

· Commissioned an independent resource estimate of tailings available for processing at the OMCO mine site – Inferred JORC Resource Estimate 31,000 tonnes grading 1.6 grams/ton gold

Great Western Executive Chairman Brian Hall commented: “2022 was a period of intense activity for the Company, during which we not only accelerated a fruitful exploration programme including drilling on three of our prospects but also created a processing joint venture from scratch for production of precious metals. The mill is now under construction and due to be processing material from Mineral Jackpot and the OMCO Mine this year. We have an exciting inventory of prospects for copper, gold and silver that continue to provide increasing levels of upside, while first revenues from production will significantly change our profile and further prove our value proposition.”

Marula Mining PLC Chief Executive Officer Jason Brewer talking to Share Talk during his London visit

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 15:33:03 +0000

When Jason came to the London studio back in November 2022 the market Cap was then £2 million, under 2p and he gave a warning to the markets that Marula Mining was making progress.

What no one expect was the rapid progress the company would make in such a short space of time. We spoke to him in January and momentum was gathering for the push into 2023.

Yesterday we had the pleasure to talk to Jason in the London studio, if anything he is pushing on and has high expectations for the company, and shareholder value moving into 2023.

Recently the company announced its intention to seek a listing of Marula’s ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market (“AIM”) (“Listing”), subject to the preparation and acceptance of all the requisite documentation and regulatory approvals.

Here is the format of the interview in no particular order:

Since we last spoke Marula has completed more deals, can you give us a quick overview?
Are you going to build – will we see further growth in the portfolio moving forward this year?
The SP has gone on what, 3/4 bagger since our interview in Nov, you did call it back then, Jason, you must be a happy man.
With your market cap growing expeditiously, how do you see the momentum of the company over 2023?
You look at the dual list shortly onto AIM, what is the current situation with the company preparations?
We have been watching your Twitter feed, a bit cold in old blighty this time of year… 🙂
A final message to shareholders, three highlights for 2023.

ECR Minerals plc (AIM:ECR) Creswick Results and 2023 Operating Plan

Share Talk LTD — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 11:07:03 +0000

Andrew Scott, Andrew Haythorpe & Adam Jones discuss the 2023 operating plan.

ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce high gold grades from recent in-situ rock chips sited within license EL006184 and newly acquired license EL006713 at the Creswick Project, Victoria, Australia.

ECR Minerals plc has 100% ownership of the Creswick Project which includes exploration tenements EL006907, EL006713 and EL006184. All licences reside north to north-east of the City of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The Company is exploring a number of parallel-gold mineralisation trends that are believed to extend 10km NE from the Nerrina Goldfields at Ballarat.

ECR CEO Andrew Haythorpe commented: “I am delighted to see these results from rock chip sampling. Along with the retest of the 2021 Creswick drill core (see RNS dated October 19 2022 here) and the parallel gold system identified at Davey Road and South Davey workings (see RNS dated December 22 2022 here), this work continues to support the Directors’ belief that Creswick could host an extended gold system. The Company’s field team has remained on the ground at the property to continue further sampling”

The Board remain excited by the potential opportunities for discovery across ECR’s asset portfolio, and are eager to push on and undertake further work at the earliest possible opportunity. I look forward to reporting back to you with further updates.”

Marula Mining PLC (AQSE:MARU) Chief Executive Officer Jason Brewer talking to Share Talk

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 17:53:17 +0000

The last time we had Jason in the London studio was back in November 2022 and he did not hold back for sure. The market Cap was then £2 million, and the shares have gone north since then, what a cracking couple of months.

We said then that Marula Mining PLC has an experienced team with a proven track record across the entire project development pipeline. Collectively, they present an in-depth understanding of the mining and exploration sector.

What we did not expect was the rapid progress the company would make in such a short space of time. The company should be putting out a formal update next week RNS to confirm work is underway to trade on the AIM this first quarter.

Thank you to Jason for chatting with us from Kenya, and it looks like 2023 is going to be an explosive ride for holders.

Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU) an African-focused mining and development company, is pleased to update the market and shareholders on mineral processing activities at the Blesberg Lithium and Tantalum Mine in South Africa (the “Blesberg Project” or “Blesberg”) where initial deliveries of 1,000 tonnes of high-grade ‘run-of-mine’ lithium ore under the US$5 million Lithium Prepayment Facility (“Prepayment Facility”), that was announced 27 October 2022, are due to commence shortly.

ECR Minerals Andrew Scott, Andrew Haythorpe & Adam Jones discuss Creswick and plans for 2023

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 13:43:35 +0000

ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce updated soil sampling results from the on-going geochemistry exploration on EL006184 at Creswick, Victoria, Australia. These results highlight a potential new parallel gold system within the Dimocks Main Shale (DMS).

ECR Minerals plc has 100% ownership of the Creswick Project within licence areas EL006184 and EL006907, which resides 14km north-east of the City of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. License EL006907 also links Creswick to the Ballarat East-Nerrina Goldfield. The Company is exploring a number of parallel-gold mineralisation trends that are believed to extend 10km south towards Ballarat.

ECR CEO Andrew Haythorpe commented: “With so much investor interest focussed on Creswick, it is gratifying to see the project move into a new and exciting phase of development. My visit to Creswick with Adam Jones earlier this year and the subsequent success from the re assay of the drill core confirmed to me that our asset has considerable potential to host gold at several locations.”

“Today’s soil geochem results and the subsequent new gold system identified confirm beyond doubt that Creswick is host to a gold system that warrants an extended and detailed exploration campaign.”

“We will continue to employ LIDAR Geochem across our Creswick tenements as we draw up a list of drill targets in 2023. I look forward to reporting back to you very shortly with further progress.”

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 16:34:07 +0000

Executive Chairman of Union Jack, David Bramhill commented: “The update provided today by Egdon, especially in respect of our flagship project, the Wressle development, is particularly encouraging.

“We now have a clear focus on our forward strategy at Wressle to implement, as a priority, the monetisation of its gas reserves that also facilitates optimum oil production from the producing Ashover Grit reservoir. In parallel, the development plan and consenting process are being progressed to enable future production of the significant resources within the Penistone Flags reservoir.

“The additional revenue from monetisation of the Ashover Grit gas, together with increased oil production rates, will have a positive financial impact on revenues from the Ashover Grit and on the value of the Wressle field development when operational.

“Wressle production over the past 12 months has been transformational for Union Jack. Revenues are fast approaching US$11 million and the Wressle-1 well continues to produce above expectations.”

And provided operational commentary on a number of projects in which Union Jack holds material economic interests, namely, Wressle (40%), Keddington (55%) and Biscathorpe (45%) where certain details have been summarised below.

Bill Brodie Good, CEO of Alien Metals, Acquisition agreement boosts Hancock Development Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 16:47:32 +0000

Anglo American has signed a financing funding and off-take agreement in relation to Hancock

We have Bill back on the Share Talk platform to update holders on yet another major stridden forward for the company.

Alien Metals Ltd. (AIM: UFO) stated that it had entered into a Heads of Agreement binding with Mallina Exploration Pty Ltd in order to acquire a strategic Tenement. This tenement is currently being applied with the Department of Mines and will be bound by Australia’s Hancock iron ore mine project.

Alien also applied for two additional exploration licenses in the Hancock area: ELA47/4605, or ‘Hancock West,’ and ELA47/4817, or ‘Hancock Northwest, which offer future opportunities for resource growth.

Alien Metals chief executive Bill Brodie Good stated, “This is a strategic acquisition of the Tenement Application located on the Southwest boundary of Hancock.”

This is the best route for the haul road that will allow the iron ore to be extracted from Hancock and transported to market using the shortest route possible. We can include all geotechnical work on the haul road because of our farm-in commitment. This is therefore considered to be within the project budget. He said this is an additional significant step in de-risking our project and giving us complete control to put the project into production.”

The plan is to start mining at Hancock in the next year. Anglo American PLC has signed a Hancock funding and off-take agreement

Hancock has a 10.4mln-tonne gross JORC-compliant Inferred Mineral Resource at 60.4% Iron.

Alien has an 18-month period to exercise the Option, although the Company intends to action earlier. Such exercise is conditional on Alien receiving approval to issue the consideration shares and the parties entering into a deed of assignment and assumption in relation to the Hancock project native title Heritage Agreement.

Dan Smith, Non-Executive Chairman of Alien Metals, commented: “The execution of the revised binding option agreement with Windfield is a key milestone in the development of both the Hancock and Brockman iron ore projects, as we can now drive both forward knowing the Company has de-risked the projects with the ability to move to a 90% project interest.

“The Iron Ore Company of Australia (“IOCA”) team is fully focussed on getting the Hancock project into production in the first half of 2023, while exploration work on the highly prospective Brockman and Vivash projects remains ongoing.

“The Company looks forward to updating investors on the development of Hancock in coming weeks”.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources Interview with Share Talk

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 16:55:43 +0000

Here, Bonnie Hughes talks to Ben Turney, CEO of Kavango Resources (LON: KAV) about the firm’s recently released conceptual economic viability report for its Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (“IOCG”) target at the Great Red Spot anomaly within its Kalahari Suture Zone (“KSZ”) project.

In the podcast, Turney explains the purpose of the report at this early stage, the potential scale of what Kavango might be looking at given the similarities between its IOCG target and the Olympic Dam IOCG project in Australia, as well as the company’s next planned steps over the entire KSZ project area.

As Turney highlights: “The Great Red Spot is at the nexus of a number of intersecting faults. So, in geological terms, this is the right postcode where you’ve had a lot of tectonic and geological activity that happened over hundreds of millions of years, vast amounts of magma in different phases that spread apart over long distances of time. In geological terms, these are the sorts of conditions that can lead to the formation of multiple mineralisation styles.”

Also covered are Kavango’s recent acquisition of the remaining 50% of its Kanye Resources JV, and its plans for Ditau following the recent completion of a drilling campaign.

It has been a journey to reach this point, Zak, from starting position back in April/May of last year to Lift listing on Friday, how would you describe the process and surely you must be happy to be listed?
Can you give the listeners a small intro about the company?
Do you have a lot of support from city institutions, high profile investors?
Why the Aquis Stock Exchange and not a main listing on the IPO?
Some people would ask about liquidity on the AQSE platform, do you see any changes that could help to change that for companies and investors?
You have three directors on the Lift Global Ventures board presently, do you see any additions people join in the future to strengthen and expand the business?
What can investors expect short to midterm on the growth strategy of the company?
What most excites you about the future of the business?

Oilex’s Chief Executive Officer, Roland Wessel, said:

“The re-establishment of production from the Cambay gasfield has occurred soon after the Indian government announced that the price of domestic gas would more than double from $2.9 per mmbtu to $6.1 per mmbtu. This will provide a material benefit to Oilex’s cash flow.”

Here is the list of the questions asked in the interview:

You announced this morning that production has re-started on the Cambay field. Can you explain why the re-start took so long?
Your RNS this morning mentioned the Cambay C-77H refract – can you provide some information on this?
What is the impact of the recently announced Indian domestic gas price increase for Oilex?
How do you envisage the future news flow for the Cambay field?
Can you provide an update on the Medway Hub CCS project?

Sapan Ghai, Chief Commercial Officer of Sovereign Metals (ASX:SVM,LON:SVML) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:45:30 +0000

Sovereign managing director Dr Julian Stephens said: “It is a really remarkable achievement by our team to have made the largest natural rutile discovery ever in just two years since initial identification.

We spoke to Sapan Ghai, Chief Commercial Officer who is based in London to get his reaction to the news update, here are a few of the questions we asked.

1. Can you just run us through the highlights of today’s RNS?
2. This is a timely discovery given the current supply/demand fundamentals of rutile isn’t it?
3. What’s the plan with the graphite?
4. What can listeners look forward to next?

Sovereign Metals Ltd, (ASX:SVM, AIM:SVML) declared a new record after delivering an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) of 1.8 billion tonnes. This confirms that the Kasiya Rutile Deposit in Malawi is both the largest rutile deposit ever discovered and the second-largest flake-graphite deposit.

Roland Wessel, CEO and Director of Oilex Ltd (ASX:AIM:OEX) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 15:40:48 +0000

We have been trying to catch up with Roland for a while as he is not one for talking for the sake of it. The first question refers to the RNS released on the 16th March 2022, update to its operations in India and in particular, with respect to the Cambay field development.

The Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) is expected to approve the re-commencement of production on the Cambay field imminently. All necessary operational preparation, including system integrity checks and safety system validations, has been undertaken to allow for an immediate re-start of gas production from two wells (C-73 and C-77H) upon receipt of GPCB approval.

Here is the list of the questions asked in the interview;

What is the status of the production re-start of the Cambay field and why the delays?
Is the Cambay field ready to re-start production when the final permit is obtained?
What is the current schedule for the C-77H re-frac operation? Again, why has this been delayed?
Do Oilex plan to farm out the Cambay field and to what extent?
What is the status of the CCS project in the UK?

India is the third-largest energy market in the world. Indian gas demand growth is outpacing domestic supply with circa 50% of gas requirements from LNG imports. Robust gas prices are underpinned by the high marginal cost of LNG imports.

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 18 Jan 2022 17:07:13 +0000

Guy Peters, Executive Chairman gives an introduction to the company and what they hope to achieve in 2022.

Today the company announced that it has signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (“Mitsubishi”) whereby Mitsubishi will review the technology and explore the commercial opportunities for developing waste plastic to hydrogen facilities, incorporating Powerhouse Energy’s DMG® technology, in Japan.

Mitsubishi will have a period of one year to review the technology under the LOI, unless extended by mutual consent. Any decision to deploy the technology would be subject to further detailed agreement(s) between the parties.

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC was admitted to the Access segment of AQSE and the commencement of trading on 6 January 2022, under the ticker “HUI” and ISIN number GB00BMFR8J48.

Guy Peters, Executive Chairman of HUI, commented:

“The listing is an important milestone in HUI’s development. We are pioneering the use of technology to turn non-recyclable waste plastics into hydrogen – addressing the major environmental threat posed by waste plastic and providing alternative energy sources which are not dependent upon the use of coal, natural gas, oil and fossil fuel-derived electricity.”

“I would like to thank our new and existing shareholders for their support and I look forward to providing updates on our progress as our business develops.”

Aleksandra Binkowska, CEO of Hydrogen Utopia Intl (AQSE: HUI) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 11:03:42 +0000

Zak Mir talks to Aleksandra Binkowska, CEO of Hydrogen Utopia International, in the wake of last week’s successful IPO for the waste plastic to hydrogen group.

About Hydrogen Utopia International PLC

HUI aims to become one of the leading new European companies specialising in turning non-recyclable mixed waste plastic into carbon-free fuels, new materials or distributed renewable heat.

A HUI facility uses non-recyclable mixed waste plastic as feedstock and turns it into syngas from which new products and energy can be produced. HUI anticipates that its revenues will be derived from a variety of sources, dependent upon location and configuration of the HUI facilities, including the sale of syngas, hydrogen and other gases, electricity and heat sales, and the payment to it of fees for a given quantity of non-recyclable mixed waste plastic received at a HUI facility .

HUI will target areas where there is significant private sector interest or potential, financial backing is accessible and or where substantial EU and/or government funded sources of grants and loans are or may be available, such as but not limited to the EU’s “Just Transition Fund” which was set up to help fossil fuel dependent communities transition towards climate neutrality. The global increase in fossil fuel-based energy prices reinforces the need for alternative, price competitive energy sources, which HUI’s business model can provide.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources (LON:KAV) Interview & Company Update

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 15:49:45 +0000

Kavango Resources to enter “Year of Discovery” on a high after delivering its most exciting KSZ results to date

In an early Christmas present to investors, Kavango Resources (LSE:KAV) has revealed the strongest evidence yet that it could be on track to hit vast amounts of metal mineralisation at its Kalahari Suture Zone (“KSZ”) project. Late last Friday, the explorer not only confirmed the presence of its major conductor drill target at the Botswana-based licences, but also that the conductor is stronger that it had previously modelled.

With drilling set to re-commence right away in the New Year, Kavango has now done everything it can to kick off its self-described “Year of Discovery” with as big a bang as possible.

Speaking to ShareTalk, Kavango’s chief executive Ben Turney highlighted the concrete potential that Kavango and Spectral’s latest work has solidified:

“Our first hole at the Great Red Spot was a data gathering exercise to prepare us for mobilizing to B1, the conductor that we are now drilling.

Through our modelling, we had already seen the potential for B1 to stretch across stacked layers of prospective rock, a very promising addition to the target’s existing Karoo-aged potential. Now, we have taken the first step towards proving this with evidence, with the new hole presenting a similar stratigraphy.

With B1 providing a much stronger conductance reading than before, and the indications the drill is right on track to hit the centre of the target, Kavango is in a very exciting position as we enter the New Year.”

CEO Jeremy Skillington, Poolbeg Pharma (LON: POLB) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 09:38:20 +0000

Share Talk caught up with our CEO to discuss yesterday’s announcement on POLB’s has signed a binding term sheet, encompassing all commercial terms, with AnaBio Technologies (AnaBio), with a full licence and collaboration agreement to follow. to develop an oral vaccine delivery platform as well as some other recently announced developments & the future of vaccines.

Jeremy Skillington, PhD, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma, said: “As we have seen in the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of global vaccination drives is dependent on the effective uptake of vaccines. Oral vaccines are highly attractive due to their improved stability profiles, ease of administration, generation of mucosal immunity and being preferable to needle-phobic patients.

“The pharma sector is increasingly recognising that oral vaccines can act as standalone regimens or as boosters to injected vaccines which can struggle to generate mucosal immunity. By working with the experts at AnaBio and accessing its advanced micro and nano encapsulation technology, this places Poolbeg in a prime position to develop products for the oral vaccine market with vaccines for enteric (gut) and respiratory pathogens.”

Olivier Mussat, the recently appointed CEO of ATOME Energy Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 13:52:36 +0000

ATOME Energy, a green hydrogen and ammonia production company and offshoot of President Energy PLC, is due to join the AIM segment of the London Stock Exchange in mid-December.

We spoke to Olivier Mussat, the recently appointed CEO of ATOME Energy, about the company’s planned projects which are situated in Iceland and Paraguay. Both countries were selected as they have available baseload green generated electricity on tap 24/7 and available domestic-end markets with export potential in EU and Mercosur countries.

Currently, over 90 per cent of hydrogen is produced from hydrocarbons. Green hydrogen is produced from renewable electricity is the only truly sustainable option. Both green hydrogen and ammonia are considered future fuels and will be key vital for the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries such as shipping, heavy goods transport and agriculture.

Olivier discusses why now is the time to invest in green hydrogen as technology has improved and costs have fallen. With hydrogen being a cornerstone in many governments’ decarbonisation strategies, there is also the political will to make green hydrogen commercially available.

With the support of the governments in Paraguay and Iceland, ATOME has key MOUs and Co-operation Agreements already in place with the national power suppliers and land providers, with Power Purchase Agreement discussions advancing. ATOME’s objective is to commence the first phase of production by the end of 2023, ramping up to the project’s full 350-megawatt capacity by mid-decade.

The upcoming listing will position ATOME as one of the first dedicated green hydrogen and ammonia production companies listed in London.

@pauljohnson9691 Metals moving higher - a touch more positivity out there - long hard pullback happened. There are times in the junior resource investing space you just sit back and think that long-awaited uplift pattern is building nicely!!

Live Q&A with Paul Johnson - CEO Power Metal Resources

With four spin-out activities along with the latest announcement are that POW had raised £1.05 million to Accelerate Operational and Strategic Opportunities.

Two London listings are scheduled for the first quarter of 2022, along with the CEO holding 75 million shares and is currently the largest shareholder. That adds up to over half a million pounds cash.

Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:

" The new shares issued in the Placing undertaken by the Company represents dilution of just 4.5% of current issued share capital and adds a material further cash resource into the Company at this opportunistic time.

Power Metal has maintained a strong working capital position throughout 2021, notwithstanding significant investment in exploration and corporate development. The Company is now at a key point where extensive exploration activities are underway and corporate activities are intensifying.

The Placing will allow the Company to expand its exploration budgets, accelerate corporate work and complete on a number of new initiatives.

The Power Metal board have been unable to participate in this Placing as we are actively involved in a number of initiatives that due to the possession of potentially price-sensitive information would preclude us from buying the Company's shares at this time."

Today we have Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals on the Share Talk platform updating shareholders after the announcement stating its Phase 3 drilling programme at the Company’s Hancock Iron Ore project, part of its Hamersley Iron Ore Project, Western Australia, is soon to commence.

Drilling recommences at Hancock Iron Ore Project to increase resource

Bill Brodie Good, Chief Executive Officer & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented:

“Following on from our initial maiden JORC resource and positive scoping study work, we are delighted to be going back out into the field at Hancock to undertake this important infill drilling at the Western Ridges orebodies. Additionally, we will also undertake new exploration drilling to commence our expansion of the resource potential of the project. Having Three Rivers Drilling back to do the RC drilling is very positive, and we are excited to carry out diamond core drilling as well, both from the resource update and mining study development perspective.

“This work will develop alongside Lloyd Edmunds’ operational development work (see announcement dated 19 October 2021) and the Company is excited to continue to push this significant project forward.”

Mark Bolton (Managing Director) of Panthera Resources (PAT.L) Bhukia JV Partner Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 14:41:20 +0000

The Board of Panthera is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Indo Gold Pty Limited (“IGL”), has entered into various agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire Metal Mining India Private Limited (“MMI”), the Company’s joint venture (“JV”) partner in India, in respect of the Bhukia and Taregaon projects.

Commenting on the MMI acquisition, Mr. Mark Bolton, Managing Director of Panthera said:

“We wish to thank MMI and its shareholders for their dogged support over many years and numerous challenges. We wish them well with their future endeavours and also welcome them as significant new Panthera shareholders.

The acquisition of MMI and its shareholders’ legal rights has sound commercial merit for Panthera.

Should the Company resolve its ongoing dispute through the grant of the Bhukia Project PL, the purchase price is compelling. Furthermore, IGL’s interest in the Bhukia Project will increase from 70% to 100%.

Should the Company initiate an arbitration claim against the Government of India, the acquisition substantially simplifies the claim for damages. In addition, the Company would benefit from increased participation and cooperation in the legal proceedings, which would hopefully lead to a successful ABIT claim.

The Company nevertheless remains committed to an amicable and timely resolution of the dispute through negotiations. In this regard, the Company has and will continue to engage in good-faith dialogue with both the Governments of Rajasthan and India to develop Bhukia upon being granted the PL and deliver employment and tax revenues to the people of India as well as returns to our investors.

The Company is also in preliminary discussions with a potential new joint venture partner who will assist the Company with its ongoing operations, including the resolution of the ongoing dispute to grant the Bhukia Project PL .”

“We are really fortunate to have Lloyd Edmunds join the team and retain Mining Plus for the development phase. With Lloyd’s background in project delivery at Australia’s number 3 iron ore miner, Fortescue Metals Group (“FMG”), he is a key appointment for Alien Metals.”

The company is valued like a company that has one, two, three assets, rather than the thirteen the company currently holds within its portfolio. Also, let us not forget 75 million shares held by the CEO.

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) is an AIM listed metals exploration company which finances and manages global resource projects and is seeking large scale metal discoveries.

The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering district scale potential across a global portfolio including precious, base and strategic metal exploration in North America, Africa and Australia.

Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration to later-stage prospects currently subject to drill programmes.

Power Metal will develop projects internally or through strategic joint ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal through outright sale or separate listing on a recognised stock exchange thereby crystallising the value generated from our internal exploration and development work.

Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to drive the Company’s growth or may be returned to shareholders through share buy backs, dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.

Empyrean announced being awarded the Drilling Contract for Jade Prospect. Block 29/11, China – The Drilling Contract for Jade Prospect including a significantly reduced drilling cost estimate and December target Spud Date.

Share Talk took the opportunity to arrange an interview with Tom Kelly CEO, Director & Gaz Bisht Executive Director (China) to ask a few questions and listen to what the company has in store for shareholders.

Here is the list of questions we asked

So the spud date for the Jade prospect is being targeted for 15th to 30th December, can you tell me how long it will take for the well to be drilled and how soon afterwards the results will be known and announced to the market?
In the RNS you say that from your 3D seismic, that the basin is a classic “fill to spill” setup, can you explain what you mean by this?
Upon making a commercial discovery what percentage will Empyrean have? Would you then look to take this into production or bring in another partner?
Are there any nearby producing oil fields or discoveries to Jade?
If you make a discovery at Jade, what do you think the revised geological chance of success for discovery will then be for the nearby prospects Topaz and Pearl?
Is there any further news to report on your Mako gas field investment in Indonesia?

Block 29/11 is located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, offshore China.

Block 29/11 is a large block – 1806 square kilometres – located in the prolific Pearl River Mouth Basin, offshore China, approximately 200km southeast of Hong Kong.

Barney Gray, Consultant Analyst at Turner Pope update on Zephyr Energy PLC (ZPHR.L)

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 14:32:59 +0000

Zephyr Energy plc (AIM: ZPHR), the Rocky Mountain oil and gas company focused on responsible resource development, is pleased to provide an update on its non-operated working interests in the Williston Basin, North Dakota, U.S., to announce the acquisition of two additional non-operated near-term production portfolios in the Williston Basin (the “new acquisitions”), and to announce a joint-venture (“JV”) with Purified Resource Partners LLC (“Purified”) related to ongoing non-operated business development efforts.

Colin Harrington, Chief Executive of Zephyr, said: “While the safe and successful completion of the State 16-2 LN-CC well on our Paradox project remains the Company’s top priority, I’m delighted to report continued progress and significant growth on the non-operated side of our business.

“As we outlined to Shareholders in January, Zephyr’s key goal for 2021 was to establish production and positive cash flow – either through our existing portfolio, via acquisition, or through a combination of both. We will end 2021 having significantly exceeded my expectations. We have now closed five separate acquisitions this year – and these deals created a balanced asset base of interests in 22 producing or near-term production wells, provided exposure to additional non-operated drilling expected in 2022, added significant new operated acreage in the Paradox Basin, and tie together nicely with the State 16-2LN-CC well which is lined up for near-term completion and production testing.

Red Rock Resources PLC announced that it has begun a drilling program of 2,000 m at the Central KKM Gold Prospect, which is the central part of the Mikei gold project in Kenya (MGP).

Share Talk spoke to Andrew Bell, Chairman of RRR following the recent receipt of all permits the Company is now beginning the reverse circulation ("RC") drill programme at the Central KKM Gold Prospect

The drilling depth will range from 60 to 220 meters. There is also the possibility of expanding the drilling program.

Red Rock Project Manager Joseph Komu comments: "I am extremely excited that we finally have the necessary permits for the drilling contractor to mobilize to site and start drilling.

We have 19 drill pads ready for the rig and the laboratory is ready to receive the first shipment of samples for assay in the coming weeks. We are optimistic that this initial programme will spur an extended drill programme that will advance the Resource to the next stages of development".

Elsewhere in the MGP Red Rock continues its exploration, with 54 line KM of the planned 115 line KM of IP survey covered in the Masurura area of the Eastern license. In addition, a 300 line km magnetic survey has started at Kurutyange, also part of the Eastern License, following completion of an 11 Line km survey at the MK Prospect north of Central KKM.

The MGP (100% owned by Red Rock) comprises two prospecting licences which cover approximately 245 km2, namely PL/2018/0202 and PL/2018/0203, over the Migori Greenstone Belt, and are located along the northern margin of the Tanzanian Craton.

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 10:36:18 +0000

Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM: UFO), The latest Hancock iron ore production results in the Pilbara region, Western Australia, support the project's potential to become a standalone producer of direct shipping ore (DSO).

Initial results of the second drilling phase showed significant widths in DSO-grade intersections at surface at Sirius Extension Project.

All intersections at the Sirius project point towards a contiguous DSO-grade deposit with the best initial results from drilling the second phase. These include 47 metres at 61.50%, 78 meters at 61.20% iron and 88 metres @ 60.60% iron.

Chief executive Bill Brodie Good stated that "Our Hancock iron ore project is shaping up as a significant development opportunity to Alien."

TPI provides its latest research note on Alien Metals Limited

"We now have almost all of the data necessary to calculate a maiden JORC resource at Sirius and have defined DSO-grade iron ore for a strike length exceeding 350m at the Sirius extension prospect.

Alien Metals engaged Mining Plus to provide a high-level scoping report for the Sirius extension prospect.

John Battista (principal mining consultant at Mining Plus) stated that the Hancock project, based on the conceptual study-level work done to date, has the potential to become a niche producer of iron ore in the heart of the world-famous Pilbara area.

In the September quarter, preliminary results of the maiden resource estimation and mining studies will be available.

Brodie Good added that "In addition to Sirius Extension Project and the yet-to-be resource drilled Western Ridgess, the significant potential remains at Hancock with only 15% of the Tenement tested to date."

Bert Monro, CEO of Cora Gold Limited (CORA.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 16:16:56 +0000

What a week for shareholders after the company announced World-Class Intersection at Sanankorowith 19m @ 31.56 g/t Au from 65m at Zone A.

Bert Monro, CEO of Cora, commented, "This drill programme continues to go from strength to strength. 19m @ 31.56 g/t Au is by far the most significant drill hole that Cora has ever drilled. This hole sits outside the existing inferred resource pit shell, starting 50m deeper than the current resource pit shell, so offers even greater upside to the Sanankoro Gold Project. This programme is continuing to deliver very high-grade oxide drill results from shallow depths, offering significant economic potential for the upcoming resource and DFS.

Kibo Energy PLC (LON:KIBO) Louis Coetzee, CEO, Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 14:23:42 +0000

Agreement to Co-develop Renewable Energy Projects in South Africa

Kibo Energy PLC, the multi-asset, African focused energy company, announced on the 16th June 2021 - that it has entered into an agreement with South Africa-based Industrial Green Solutions (Pty) Ltd (‘IGES’) ( https://www.industrialgreenenergy.com/ ) to jointly develop a portfolio of Waste to Energy projects in South Africa (‘the Agreement’) with an initial target of generating more than 50 megawatts of electricity for sale to industrial users. The Agreement, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, is in line with Kibo’s strategy to integrate renewable energy into its project pipeline, which includes three utility-scale power generation and mining projects.

Louis Coetzee, CEO of KIBO said: “This opportunity to enter the South African waste to energy market in strategic partnership with Lesedi and IGES, is a win – win for all parties. For Kibo, today’s Agreement is in line with our strategy to integrate sustainable environmentally friendly energy generation into our portfolio, which could shortly include waste to energy projects in the UK currently the subject of a due diligence investigation. The 50MW project pipeline also positions Kibo squarely in the new and exciting renewable energy industry in South Africa and places us firmly on a programme to production and revenue in the short to medium term.

For IGES, the company gains a partner in Kibo with a track record not only in project development but also in project finance. For South Africa, the Pyrolysis technology provides a perfect solution to the disposal of plastics in the country, which up until now is high cost and subject to cumbersome procedures and under most recent legislation prohibits the disposal of plastics with a CV (Calorific Value) of more than 20 in landfill facilities. In addition, Newco will enable South African industry to operate independently from the National Utility, Eskom and secure stable power supplies. With the above in mind, we are keen to get started at the earliest opportunity and I look forward to providing further updates on our progress.”

Phase 2 Drilling completed at Hancock

Initial pXRF results indicate further significant High-Grade Iron Ore intersected

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented:

"Being able to retain the same drill rig and crew for this critical second phase of drilling, particularly when there is such a high level of demand in WA, was a great coup for us and we are delighted to have completed this second phase so quickly after the first. With the early observations from geological logging and the pXRF monitoring, we are very hopeful the results will confirm our interpretation.

"We now hope to be in a position to produce a maiden inferred resource on the Sirius Extension prospect and subsequently plan some further pinpoint drilling in order to develop potential additional resources on one or several of the western ridges. We plan to further explore Ridges C and E while advancing exploration on the highly prospective and pretty much non explored remaining extensive ridges we have outlined.

"Looking ahead, we are now considering a very early-stage strategic review to determine the potential for this project to become a standalone economic operation, and to understand the work streams required to advance this.

"We are also working with the relevant parties to complete the necessary Heritage surveys on the Brockman tenement so we can carry out a maiden drilling program there as well.

"With iron ore prices remaining robust and the consistently good results we are seeing from our exploration, the team is increasingly encouraged by the potential of Hamersley Iron Ore Project, and we look forward to updating the market further as we continue to drive these projects up the value curve."

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented:

“Capstone have decided not to proceed with the exploration on Donovan 2 advising that their corporate strategy has shifted and also that they did not receive sufficient confidence from their maiden drilling recently completed on Donovan 2 to continue. Capstone advised that their work was not exhaustive and with coincidental work just done a couple of days ago by Alien we are already starting to think about how we may approach further exploration work. It has been great working with the Capstone team and we appreciate their input to date which we hope to build and develop on for the future of the project.”

Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther Metals PLC (PALM.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 28 May 2021 11:43:45 +0000

Panther Metals announced the results of its auger drilling programme over part of its majority-owned Merolia Gold Project in Western Australia. We caught up with Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther to update shareholders on yesterday's announcement.

Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are very pleased with the results of this first auger drilling programme over the Merolia Gold Project. The programme has discovered a significant gold anomaly which extends over 5km x 2.5 km in the central part of licence E38/3384.

There are also several other more subtle gold anomalies which trend approximately NW-SE, extending from the Comet Well gold trend in the north. These gold anomalies are also coincident with anomalism in several other elements, which support the likelihood of primary gold mineralisation in the vicinity.

The Company is now evaluating the opportunities to progress this project towards an reverse circualtion drilling programme to test these anomalies and several other gold prospects in the area."

Craig Brown, Chief Executive Officer of ECR Minerals plc (ECR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 28 May 2021 09:49:29 +0000

Share Talk spoke with Craig, who is currently in lockdown “circuit-breaker lockdown” in Sydney, Australia. We wanted to cover yesterday company announced "three new strategic licence applications" with a view to adding new exploration opportunities in Queensland, Australia.

With a strong cash position and have been able to expand drilling operations, commenced drilling at Creswick using external contractors. The Bailieston gold project is at the epicentre of the current gold exploration boom in Victoria

Craig Brown, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“The strong cash position enjoyed by ECR Minerals has not only enabled us to launch aggressive drilling programmes across our existing properties, but has also facilitated full utilisation of in-house and advisory resources to identify, investigate and potentially acquire new opportunities to expand our Australian exploration portfolio. Today’s announcement manifestly demonstrates that capability.

We are currently operating two diamond drill rigs at the Bailieston and Creswick projects in Victoria, Australia, both of which are delivering considerable amounts of drill core for technical review, processing and assay testing.

We believe the ongoing drilling operations and the upcoming implementation of drilling across multiple high-profile gold targets will expose ECR to potential new gold discoveries.

We also look forward to providing further information from the new Queensland Australia licence applications, which we believe offer significant potential for precious and base metal discoveries in an area of Australia where multiple large-scale discoveries have already been made.

Exploration work across Australia continues apace and we expect to provide further operational updates in the near term”

Caerus Mineral Resources, the exploration and resource development company focused on developing mineral resources in Cyprus to support the global “Clean Energy” initiative.

Martyn Churchouse, CEO of Caerus Mineral Resources, commented: “We are delighted to be able to engage with Jubilee at a time when the market demand for copper is so vibrant and is forecast to remain so for many years. We are fortunate to have within our wholly-owned tenements the mineralised waste from many of Cyprus’ former copper mines. This enables us to pursue a dual strategy of exploring for new underground VMS resources whilst striving to become a producer by exploiting our stockpiles of copper and gold-bearing waste. Since Jubilee is a recognised market leader in the recovery of metals from a diverse range of waste and feedstocks, they are a natural partner with which to progress our revenue-generating ambitions.”

Q1 2021 Operational Update

Chaarat (AIM:CGH), the AIM-quoted gold mining Company with an operating mine in Armenia and assets at various stages of development in the Kyrgyz Republic, announces its production and operational results for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 (the "Quarter", "Q1" or the "Period") for its Kapan Mine ("Kapan"), in Armenia and a general corporate update.

Artem Volynets, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I am pleased that we can report another strong quarter with further improvements to the mine. Especially the work on minimising dilution and increasing efficiencies supported by the continuing strong commodity price environment have resulted in strong first quarter performance. I am very happy with the performance of the Kapan team in delivering higher production this quarter by mining higher grade areas and treating more third-party ore, offsetting a temporary reduction in own tonnes mined.

At Tulkubash, the BFS update is almost ready for release along with a revised mineral resource estimate and ore reserve. The teams are ready to commence exploration works and construction works. Project financing discussions are on track for closing in H1 2021."

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Bezant Resources (BZT.L) Interview.

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 18:50:50 +0000

Minemba Prospect Kalengwa Copper Project, Zambia

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce a further significant copper intercept in its second drill hole at the Minemba prospect within the Kalengwa exploration project area in Zambia (the " Kalengwa Exploration Project ") in which the Company has a 30% interest and acts as operator.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant, commented :

"We are very pleased with the 114m interval of continuous mineralisation. The archives did not suggest this to be the case and we are particularly encouraged by the geological sequence which is the same as in the nearby rich copper pit at Kalengwa which produced 1.9Mt @ 9.44% Cu.

We have identified 350m of mineralised strike to date and, in order to build up a significant copper tonnage, we intend to carry out a ground IP geophysics survey as well as drilling at least two further holes in the vicinity of the two already completed holes. We are pleased with the results to date as we have not yet tested several other targets on the large Kalengwa property, including a 13km zone of enhanced soil geochemistry along an interpreted structure. We plan to carry out initial geophysical surveying on this target while the geophysics crew is on site."

Susannah Streeter, Senior Investment, Markets Analyst, H & L Dogecoin Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 15:19:07 +0000

Bitcoin and ethereum on Tuesday extended price declines that began last week, while Dogecoin maintained its rally on what supporters have dubbed ‘DogeDay’.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) was down 4.6% to trade at $54,763.19 (£39,152.67) by 9.20am in London. Ethereum (ETH-USD), the second largest cryptocurrency, was down around 5.3% to trade at $2,134.7.

Both cryptocurrencies have come under selling pressure in the wake of Coinbase's (COIN) hotly anticipated IPO. Last week, Coinbase became the first major crypto firm to list on the Nasdaq (^IXIC). Bitcoin's price neared $65,000 ahead of the listing but has sold-off sharply since the debut.

Over the weekend, alarm bells sounded in crypto markets amid reports that the US Treasury was planning to censure financial institutions for money laundering carried out through digital assets. Regulatory action in Turkey has also hit sentiment.

Dogecoin (DOGE-USD), meanwhile, was up 18% to $0.4075 on Tuesday. The surge coincided with a flurry of social media attention around what fans of the cryptocurrency have called 'DogeDay'.

It is unclear exactly why supporters have decided 20 April, which is also International Weed Day, will be celebrated as ‘DogeDay’, but posts on sites like Twitter and Reddit are urging fans to buy up the joke token and push its price up to $1.

Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther Metals PLC (PALM.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 17:30:57 +0000

Panther Metals Plans to List Australian Assets on the ASX Exchange

Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our confidence in the Company's portfolio of assets has only strengthened over the last year. As a team with world-class capabilities in the exploration sector we have quickly identified, and acted on, a route to allow each asset to receive the required capital allocation it justly deserves, whilst continuing to create value for our shareholders. The independent listing of Panther Australia not only provides the required capital to develop the assets in that business, but it also simultaneously gives a market value to our subsidiary.

The ASX listing will allow Panther to maintain a material investment in our Australian assets whilst raising new capital for them. In addition, the listing facilitates the integration of the Bonanza and Bluebrook exploration properties into the expanded Australian operation and allows for the financial independence of Panther Australia.

This provides significant upside for Panther and allows us to better manage the opportunities associated with our Canadian assets, whilst obtaining the ASX listing of Panther Australia will also allow us to give serious consideration to other opportunities that could form a generative pipeline in the future.

I'm delighted with the foundation the proposed ASX transaction will give the business, providing cost-efficient exploration capital which works for the company and its shareholders, as we target future growth through exploration success and other innovative ways to expand Panther Metals PLC."

I have also been quoted in publications such as The Financial Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

I believe the public remains poorly served in respect of financial market commentary and that this has hampered necessary improvements in financial education.

It’s not that difficult to be both data-driven AND engaging. Rampant editorialising or mind-numbing boredom are NOT the only options.

Minemba Prospect Kalengwa Copper Project, Zambia

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce a significant copper intercept in its first drill hole at the Minemba prospect within the Kalengwa exploration project area in Zambia (the " Kalengwa Exploration Project ") in which the Company has a 30% interest and acts as operator.

Highlights

· Bezant's first hole on the Minemba prospect, MB-01, stepped back to drill at an angle beneath the earlier intercepts, encountered visible chalcopyrite copper mineralisation over a substantially greater interval than the historic holes starting at 81m depth, with semi-continuous mineralisation logged over a 94-metre interval from 101m to 195m.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant, commented :

"The Minemba prospect is one of the identified intrusive-related targets which were ready for drill testing. Historic work identified some evidence of mineralisation but our targeted hole intersected lengthy apparently significant mineralisation. The mineralisation host type is somewhat similar to the Kalengwa main mine and as such gives us encouragement as to potential. The main mine yielded 2 million tonnes of ore at an average of 9.44% Cu representing one of the richest copper deposits discovered in Zambia.

We will drill another hole in the perceived direction of strike and if successful will continue with ground geophysics to truly identify the strike and extent of this intrusion and associated mineral system."

Ryan Dolder, CEO of Rogue Baron Plc (AQSE: SHNJ) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 10:22:34 +0000

London, UK, 12 April 2021 – Rogue Baron Plc (AQSE: SHNJ), a leading company in the premium spirits sector, is pleased to announce that it has appointed the corporate and securities law firm Galanopoulos & Company to act as the Company's US OTC Markets Sponsor. Galanopoulos will work to have the Company's ordinary shares cross-traded on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB") in the United States. This will be in addition to the existing listing on the AQSE Growth Market in London.

Galanopoulos & Company have successfully worked with other AQUIS listed companies to cross-trade on the OTCQB, and this move has proved highly successful in significantly increasing US investor awareness and share trading liquidity for a number of those companies.

The objective of applying to the OTCQB in New York, is to provide efficient access to existing and new U.S. investors, enhance liquidity and facilitate a fair valuation for the Company going forward.

Ryan Dolder, CEO of Rogue Baron commented: "Proceeding with a secondary quotation on a U.S. trading platform operated by OTC Markets is another big step in the progression of our Company. Having a brand presence in the United States brings a lot of awareness to Rogue Baron and in turn brings a lot of new potential U.S. investment. Having our shares quoted on OTCQB will make it easier for U.S. based potential investors to access Rogue Baron shares, which we believe will continue to help build our Company."

Andrew Male Chairman and Tony Calamita CEO, Love Hemp Group PLC (AQSE:LIFE) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 08:56:43 +0000

Love Hemp Group PLC (AQSE: LIFE) (OTCQB: WRHLF ), one of the UK's leading CBD and hemp product suppliers, is pleased to announce that the Broker Option (the "Broker Option") granted to Peterhouse Capital Limited ("Peterhouse") in connection with the placing and subscription announced by the Company on 8 April 2021 (the "Fundraise"), closed to applications at 17.00 on 9 April 2021.

The Broker Option was significantly oversubscribed and has been exercised in respect of 57,650,428 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), an increase of approximately 100% on the number of Ordinary Shares originally subject to the Broker Option. Peterhouse, in consultation with the Company, has therefore determined that all valid applications under the Broker Option will be allocated in full and counterparties will be notified accordingly.

Exercise of the Broker Option will raise a further £2,017,765 for the Company, taking the total amount raised by the Company in the Fundraise to £7,042,765 (gross of expenses).

The proceeds of the Fundraise will be applied towards the Company's new global marketing programme, which will be implemented across the UK and US and includes a partnership with UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) as announced on 16 March 2021, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Andrew Male, Chairman of Love Hemp Group, commented: "Following a successful initial fundraise, the continued investor interest highlights the strength of the Company and its investment thesis. Love Hemp Group has a strong marketing programme and these funds will help promote the brand globally. I look forward to seeing the Company continue to move from strength to strength."

Nigel Theobald, CEO of N4 Pharma PLC (N4P.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 14:16:15 +0000

N4 Pharma is a specialist pharmaceutical company developing a novel delivery system for cancer and vaccine treatments using its unique silica nanoparticle delivery system called Nuvec®.

We spoke with Nigel today and asked about the progress the company is making and shareholders question.

N4 Pharma's business model is to partner with companies developing novel antigens for cancer and vaccine treatments to use Nuvec® as the delivery vehicle to get their antigen into cells to express the protein needed for the required immunity. As these products progress through pre-clinical and clinical programs, N4 Pharma will seek to receive upfront payments, milestone payments and ultimately royalty payments once products reach the market.

Completion of Phase One Drilling at the Bushranger Copper-Gold Project

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the completion of the final hole of the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Inferred Mineral Resource (JORC 2012) on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project, located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”) of New South Wales, Australia

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “This is a good way to finish the Phase One drilling programme. All the completed holes passed through the potassic alteration zone with apparently good mineralisation. We are now busy with analysis of the raw data acquired and are building up a 3-D model to assist with planning of the Phase Two drilling programme. The geophysical programme has commenced – on completion we will understand much more about mineralisation trends and the potential of the Racecourse porphyry system. We are very pleased with the results and the team now looks forward to preparing for Phase Two.”

Joe Salomon, Managing Director of Oilex Ltd (OEX.ASX.L) Interview

Oilex Ltd (Oilex or the Company) is pleased to announce that GSPC has provided notification that it has approved the sale of its 55% participating interest (PI) in the Cambay PSC to Oilex for the purchase price of US$2.2 million (‘Purchase Price’) (the ‘Transaction’).

The Transaction has also received the approval of the state government of Gujarat. Following completion of the Transaction, Oilex will hold a 100% participating interest in the Cambay PSC. This will provide Oilex with the ability, subject to sourcing the necessary funding, to restart fieldwork including a work program consisting of the drilling of two vertical wells to appraise the Eocene gas accumulation which is confirmed by historical flow tests and up until recently, low-rate cyclic production from two wells from the same reservoir section.

The Company’s drilling plans in relation to the pilot program are well advanced and are aimed at establishing flow rates after hydraulic stimulation of the Eocene siltstone reservoir. The pilot program will implement the recommendations from a 2017/18 Baker Hughes-GE study focussed on drilling and stimulation best practice. Any hydrocarbon production from these wells will utilise the existing Cambay processing and storage facilities and the connection to a local low-pressure gas pipeline.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Exclusive Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 14:20:27 +0000

Commencement of Geophysical Surveying at Bushranger Copper-Gold Project

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration work at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project, located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”) of New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Following the initial positive results of the Phase One drilling programme, a geophysical crew has been mobilised to the Racecourse site to commence a deep penetrating Induced Polarisation (IP) survey

· The survey will track extensions of the Racecourse deposit potentially beyond 1,000m depth down plunge and along strike where little historic drilling has been completed

· The information obtained will assist in planning a Phase Two drilling programme to further extend the mineral resource towards the target of 2Mt of contained copper equivalent

· Drilling on the final hole (BRDD-21-006) of the Phase One drilling programme at Racecourse is continuing and further news will be reported when the hole is completed

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “Results from the Phase One drilling programme have demonstrated mineralisation widths and plunge depths beyond our expectations. Results appear to show a large porphyry system, warranting planning for a Phase Two drilling programme. In order to identify extensions to the deposit in several directions, we intend to carry out a deep-penetrating IP survey – the bedrock resistivity at Racecourse allows significant depth penetration to enable tracking of anomalies potentially beyond 1,000m depth. We now have the benefit of previous drilling to guide us in interpreting prospectivity. We intend to use every tool available to plan the Phase Two drilling programme and the team is excited to advance the positive indications from Phase One towards our target of 2Mt of contained copper equivalent which would trigger the Anglo buy-back option.”

Nick Bridgen, Chief Executive Officer of Ferro-Alloy Rsrcs (FAR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 13:39:01 +0000

The Company's operations are all located at the Balasausqandiq Deposit in Kyzylordinskaya Oblast in the South of Kazakhstan.

Currently, the Company has two main business activities

a) the high-grade Balasausqandiq Vanadium Project (the "Balausa Project"); and

b) an existing profitable vanadium concentrate processing operation (the "Existing Operation")

Balasausqandiq is a very large deposit, with vanadium as the principal product, together with numerous byproducts. Owing the nature of the ore, the capital and operating costs of development are very much lower than for other projects.

A reserve on the JORC 2012 basis has been estimated only for the first ore-body (of five) which amounts to 23 million tonnes, not including the small amounts of near-surface oxidised material which is in the Inferred resource category. In the system of reserve estimation used in Kazakhstan, the reserves are estimated to be over 70m tonnes in ore-bodies 1 to 5 but this does not include the full depth of ore-bodies 2-5.

There is an existing concentrate processing operation at the site of the Balasausqandiq Deposit. The production facilities were originally created from a 15,000 tonnes per year pilot plant which was then adapted to treat low-grade concentrates and is now in the process of being expanded and further adapted to treat a wider variety of raw materials.

The Company has already completed the first steps of a development plan for the existing operation which is expected to result in annualised production capacity increasing gradually to around 1,500 tonnes of contained vanadium pentoxide. The development plan includes upgrades to infrastructure, an extension to the existing factory and the installation of equipment to increase the throughput and to add the facilities to convert AMV into vanadium pentoxide.

The strategy of the Company is to develop both the Existing Operation and the Project in parallel. Although they are located on the same site and use some of the same infrastructure, they are separate operations.

MetalNRG plc (LON: MNRG), the natural resource investing and exploration company, announces it has entered into a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) to develop sustainable Green Energy projects in partnership with EQTEC plc ( AIM: EQT), a world-leading gasification technology solutions company for sustainable waste-to-energy projects.

MetalNRG has set up a Special Purpose Vehicle, MetalNRG Eco Ltd, to develop biomass, waste to energy and sustainable green energy projects in the UK and Europe.

Rolf Gerritsen, CEO of MetalNRG commented:

” EQTEC is the ideal partner for MetalNRG to work with and accelerate the generation of environmental impactful projects. Their technical and project delivery expertise in creating commercial and sustainable waste to energy plants, which we believe is the future of energy market especially in Europe, makes them the ideal partner for us to work with. I look forward to updating the market with additional information as we move forward with this extremely exciting project, which will see MetalNRG at the heart of the energy transition and help the world shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. We have always said that energy transition will come from within the market and for MetalNRG this is the natural next step following BritNRG’s acquisition of Sunswept and has been in planning for a number of months.”

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Exclusive Interview.

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 13:37:59 +0000

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) provides an update on the impact of an exceptional rainfall event on drilling of hole BRDD-21-006 of the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project, located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”) of New South Wales, Australia.

The widely reported rainstorms currently being experienced in New South Wales have had some impact on the Company’s drilling operations. The contractor was unable to drill over the weekend and Monday was particularly wet. However, we are happy to report that there has been no damage to the drilling equipment and we are optimistic that drilling will be able to recommence by the coming weekend.

At the time of suspension hole BRDD-21-006 had advanced to 297m depth having encountered veining with pyrite, pyrrhotite and traces of chalcopyrite over the last 10m, typical of the outer margin of the Racecourse porphyry system.

Further information is available from the Company’s website which details the company’s project portfolio as well as a copy of this announcement: www.xtractresources.com

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation No. 596/2014 on market abuse. The person who arranged for the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company was Colin Bird, Director.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Exclusive Interview.

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 11:35:26 +0000

First Drill Assay Results from the Bushranger Copper-Gold Project

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that laboratory assays have been received from the first drill hole (BRDD-20-001) completed on the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project, located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB") of New South Wales, Australia.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The assay results from the first hole at the Racecourse deposit are exciting in that they confirm mineralisation for almost a kilometre down-plunge. The overall grade of 0.33% CuEq is very pleasing and I am particularly encouraged by the grade uniformity over the entire intercept. Results from the remaining holes will give us more information about the thickness and across-strike continuity of the mineralisation. The assay results from the initial hole compare very favourably with results reported from Alkane's Boda project and the bias towards copper at Racecourse is welcome, as it is a metal forecast to be in strong demand for years to come. I am also encouraged by the spread of molybdenum values throughout the drill interval - while these might not represent a financial credit to the project, they are good evidence for extensive development of porphyry systems in the region.

The Phase One Drilling Programme has indicated the potentially significant scale of the Racecourse deposit and we will shortly be entering a phase of 3-D modelling and will undertake further geophysical surveying to aid planning for the Phase Two drilling programme. The initial assay results have excited the team and we are now working on permissions for the geophysical survey and further drilling as we work towards our target of 2Mt of contained copper."

Supply@ME enables businesses to generate cashflow, without incurring debt, by monetising their existing stock. Before a business has found an end-customer for its inventory, the Supply@ME platform enables them to sell (“monetise”) their stock and receive cash immediately to boost their working capital.

The Supply@ME service enables strong companies to improve their working capital cycle. SYME does not monetise inventory for companies in financial difficulty or with inventory that they are struggling to sell.

SYME also confirms that it will be issuing a Trading Update to the market before the end of this month.

In the month and a half of the suspension of the stock from the London Stock Exchange, Supply@ME was not idle, it kept the business going and worked alongside the regulators to better explain its service model and, consequently, its accounting structure: “ We have communicated a lot in the past weeks, we have managed to get to know each other better and to provide the Financial Conduct Authority with the information requested: all in all, the stop to listing was useful”, CEO Alessandro Zamboni told websim.it.

Neil Gregson, Non Executive Director, Danakali Limited (DNK.ASX.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 14:03:16 +0000

Danakali Limited (ASX: DNK, LSE: DNK) (Danakali, or the Company) is an ASX- and LSE-listed potash company focused on the development of the Colluli Sulphate of Potash Project (Colluli or the Project). The Project is 100% owned by the Colluli Mining Share Company (CMSC), a 50:50 joint venture between Danakali and the Eritrean National Mining Corporation (ENAMCO).

The Project is located in the Danakil Depression region of Eritrea, East Africa, and is ~75km from the Red Sea coast, making it one of the most accessible potash deposits globally. Mineralisation within the Colluli resource commences at just 16m, making it the world's shallowest known potash deposit. The resource is amenable to open cut mining, which allows higher overall resource recovery to be achieved, is generally safer than underground mining, and is highly advantageous for modular growth.

The Company has completed a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the production of potassium sulphate, otherwise known as Sulphate of Potash or SOP. SOP is a chloride free, specialty fertiliser which carries a substantial price premium relative to the more common potash type; potassium chloride (or MOP). Economic resources for production of SOP are geologically scarce. The unique composition of the Colluli resource favours low energy input, high potassium yield conversion to SOP using commercially proven technology. One of the key advantages of the resource is that the salts are present in solid form (in contrast with production of SOP from brines) which reduces infrastructure costs and substantially reduces the time required to achieve full production capacity.

The resource is favourably positioned to supply the world's fastest growing markets. A binding take-or-pay offtake agreement has been confirmed with EuroChem Trading GmbH (EuroChem) for up to 100% (minimum 87%) of Colluli Module I SOP production.

Development Finance Institutions, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank), have obtained formal credit approval to provide CMSC with US$200M in senior debt finance. The credit documentation was executed in December 2019, allowing drawdown of CMSC senior debt on satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. This represents the majority of funding required for the development and construction of the Colluli. AFC has also made a strategic equity investment in Danakali of US$21.5M (A$31.8M) allowing the commencement of the development for the Project.

The Company's vision is to bring Colluli into production using the principles of risk management, resource utilisation and modularity, using the starting module (Module I) as a growth platform to develop the resource to its full potential.

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on completion of the fifth hole of the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “We are pleased to report that Hole BRDD-21-005 has, as anticipated, encountered visually similar mineralisation to that seen in hole BRDD-21-003.

We are now re-directing the rig to drill the sixth hole of the programme in order to provide an intersection across the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth. We continue to refine our model as we better understand the orientation and attitude of the porphyry system, and this will be further aided as we begin to receive split core assays, with the first batch expected shortly.”

Andrew Male, Chairman - Director of Love Hemp Group PLC (LIFE:OTCQB) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 14:59:43 +0000

(Formerly World High Life PLC)

Love Hemp has established relationships with over 2,000 stores in the UK, including leading brands such as Sainsbury’s, Boots, Ocado and Holland & Barrett.

Stephen Murphy Co-Founder, CEO of Prohibition Partners Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 12:05:33 +0000

Prohibition Partners unlocks the potential of cannabis through data, intelligence and networking. They provide strategic solutions to an international client base of investors, operators, blue-chip companies, FMCG brands and government bodies.

With the legal cannabis industry set to be the next true growth market, and estimated to be worth £2.31 billion by 2024, businesses and investors are in a prime position to capitalise on this first-mover advantage.

Since MGC Pharma’s listing on the London Stock Exchange earlier this month, there has been huge appetite for cannabis-related businesses (“CRBs”) from both institutional and retail investors. With CBD being legalised in 2015 and, even more recently, medical cannabis since November 2019, the legal cannabis industry in the UK is still relatively new and for many, investing in CRBs can feel like an uncertain area.

Prohibition Partners, the leading market intelligence firm for the global cannabis industry, is hosting a roundtable webinar for its ‘London is Open’ series, exploring the opportunities for medicinal cannabis and CBD companies listing on the London stock markets this year.

Budget 2021: Stock Market Winners and Losers with Susannah Streeter from Hargreaves Lansdown

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:51:35 +0000

Susannah Streeter, Senior Investment and market analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown talk us through today's budget.

By David Milliken, William Schomberg, Andy Bruce

LONDON (Reuters) - Finance minister Rishi Sunak delivered what he hopes will be a last big spending splurge to get Britain’s economy through the COVID-19 crisis, and announced a corporate tax hike from 2023 as he began to focus on the huge hit to the public finances.

Sunak said in an annual budget speech on Wednesday that the economy would return to its pre-pandemic size in mid-2022, six months earlier than previously forecast, helped by Europe’s fastest coronavirus vaccination programme.

But lasting economic damage equivalent to 3% of annual output would persist, and 65 billion pounds ($91 billion) of extra support was needed in the short term as restrictions were lifted over the next few months, he said.

Sunak’s early warning that he will demand more money from companies - and most individual taxpayers too - makes him one of the first policymakers from rich countries to set out a plan to tighten budget policy after the pandemic.

Britain’s first rise in corporation tax since 1974 will see big, profitable companies pay 25% from 2023 compared to 19% now and the overall rate of taxation in the economy increase to its highest since 1969.

But before then firms can use a two-year “super-deduction” tax break that Sunak hopes will snap them out of their pandemic deep-freeze and invest to boost short-term growth.

The government’s budget watchdog said the move was likely to bring forward investment that would have taken place later.

In his speech to parliament, Sunak repeated his plan to do “whatever it takes to support the British people and businesses” after the economy slumped by 10% last year.

Britain has also suffered Europe’s biggest COVID-19 death toll.

Colin Bird Chairman & CEO of Galileo Resources (GLR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 15:36:31 +0000

Galileo (AIM: GLR), the exploration and development mining company, and today we took the opportunity to speak with Colin Bird Chairman & CEO of Galileo.

Galileo Resources plc (“Galileo “or the “Company”) 100% held property in the emerging Kalahari Copper Belt (“KCB”) in western Botswana.

This is an exciting area where two major discoveries have been made under the ownership of Cupric Canyon, a private company and Sandfire Resources, an Australian Listed copper/gold producer. The discoveries are generally much higher than current world copper production averages and also higher than new reported discoveries. The area appears to be growing into a new copper region since Sandfire Resources recently reported a further discovery some 8 km away from the initial discovery. Apart from high-grade copper, silver is in association with grades as high as 3-4 oz/t be reported alongside copper values in excess of 3 %.

Galileo’s holdings are in some cases proximal to these discoveries and in other areas carry out fundamentals of their own. The Company intends an aggressive exploration programme during the second half of 2020 commencing with soil geochemistry and airborne geophysics, both of which have been a useful tool for the drill hole decision making of previous discoveries.

David Whelan, CEO of VR Education Holdings (VRE.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:20:36 +0000

VRE is focused on becoming a leading global provider of virtual communications solutions through its proprietary software platform, ENGAGE.

Having signed contracts with 60 clients during 2020, the Group's core focus is on scaling the revenue, client and user base on ENGAGE through three solutions: Virtual Campus, Virtual Office and Virtual Events.

David Whelan, CEO, VRE, said: "2020 was a formative year for VRE. Having launched our software platform ENGAGE 13 months earlier, we were well-positioned to benefit from the pandemic-driven demand for virtual and remote modes of communication and interaction. In 2020, we successfully commercialised our Virtual Office, Virtual Campus and Virtual Events solutions with a number of multinational enterprises and international institutions. We are now focussed on building our sales organisation and partnerships to bring ENGAGE to the broadest possible audience in 2021.

"Following the onset of the pandemic, the shift to remote working, online learning and virtual events led to a significant increase in demand for virtual communications solutions such as ENGAGE. The pandemic has been a catalyst in terms of permanently changing the traditional practices and mindsets of companies and organisations towards communication. At VRE, we can see this change through the diversity of our growing user base which includes large blue-chip companies and leading international organisations, as well as our own behaviour such as hosting all our daily team meetings in VR. The use of virtual communications is only set to grow."

Mark Child, Chairman and CEO of Condor Gold PLC (CNR.TSX.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 12:10:40 +0000

Condor Gold Commences Drilling on Cacao Vein to Demonstrate the Potential Upside of La India Project, Nicaragua

Condor Gold (AIM: CNR; TSX: COG) announced on Monday they have commenced a 5,000 m diamond drill programme at the Cacao prospect at La India Project, Nicaragua. Cacao is located 4 km from the planned processing plant at our fully permitted La India mine. It is a potential satellite deposit to the already permitted La India, America and Mestiza open pits.

The drill programme has three main objectives: 1) to increase the Inferred Mineral Resource on the Cacao Vein. 2) to increase the strike length of the vein towards the Santa Barbara prospect, 3 km away. 3) to prove the structural geological model that Cacao represents a dilational opening between two major basement feeder zones (the La India and Andrea Corridors).

Mark Child, Chairman and CEO commented:

“Condor has successfully permitted a new processing plant of up to 2,800 tpd, along with the associated mine site infrastructure, and is currently completing detailed engineering studies to make the project ‘shovel ready’. Initial production is expected to be 120,000 oz gold p.a. from three permitted open pits. In parallel, Condor is now embarking on the exciting second part of its strategy: demonstrating the potential for a 5 Moz Gold District with the initial focus on a 5,000 m drilling programme at Cacao.

Xtract Resources Plc (XTR.L) Completion of Third Hole of Drilling Programme - Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 17:10:41 +0000

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide information on completion of the third hole of the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Angled hole BRDD-21-003, the third hole of the planned drilling programme, was completed at 975.5m, having drilled through the altered and mineralised porphyry system from 240m to the base of hole.

· Chalcopyrite copper mineralisation was first observed at 119m and became more persistent from 240m, with the best mineralised interval coinciding with the central alteration zone over a 227m length from 598m to 825m.

· The core will now be logged, split and sampled in preparation for laboratory analysis for copper, gold and other elements.

· The drill rig will be moved to drill the fourth hole of the programme to test the deposit further to the west and down-plunge.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "We are very pleased with the most recent hole and are gaining considerable insight into the geometry and extent of the mineralised system at the Racecourse deposit. The copper-bearing interval in this hole was considerably longer than anticipated, suggesting the possibility that the deposit may be significantly larger than first thought. We await assay results and, in the meantime, the drill rig will be moved to drill the fourth hole of the programme to the west and down-plunge of the previous holes."

Drilling Summary

Hole BRDD-21-003, the third hole of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, was drilled to test the width and grade of the porphyry mineralisation higher in the deposit than the previous two holes in order to assist in defining the 3-dimensional shape and orientation of the porphyry system. The hole was drilled at -60 degrees towards the north-northwest to a finishing depth of 975.5m.

His achievements have helped transform and shape the future of this fast growing and unstoppable new technology. The Company is extremely fortunate to have Vinay join as Chairman of the Advisory committee, and his skills and expertise will help guide Upper Thames’s strategy to quickly create a significant global business.

Shishir Poddar, CEO Tirupati Graphite (TGR.L) Successful Trials of Battery Grade Spherical Graphite Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:58:16 +0000

Tirupati Graphite plc, the fully integrated, revenue-generating, specialist graphite producer and graphene developer with operations in Madagascar and India

Is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed trials and tests for the manufacture of battery-grade spherical graphite ('SPG'), used in the anode of lithium-ion batteries ('LiB'), in tandem with a globally recognised German manufacturer of spheroidisation and micronisation equipment, achieving significant results in the end SPG product.

Shishir Poddar, Executive Chairman & CEO of Tirupati Graphite, said, " With EV markets evolving faster than ever before and an increased focus on reducing emissions from mobility, coupled with the daily evolving geo-political situations, it is an extremely important and opportune time for us to concentrate our efforts in fast tracking the development of commercial capacities for spherical graphite manufacturing. Our green credentials with zero-waste purification technology give us the ability to manufacture and supply our SPG products to EV makers as a preferred source, and we are very well positioned to benefit as an eco-friendly ex-China source of this critical material.

"Global leaders are driving the exponential growth worldwide in EV adoption in order to achieve targets under the Paris Agreement, amongst other accords. While the United Kingdom has launched a green industrial revolution; the US government's vehicle fleet is expected to be replaced by EVs assembled in the US, an initiative led by President Joe Biden. Change is also afoot in the Netherlands where significant purchase subsidies brought in earlier this year are forecast to multiply sales in 2021, with December 2020 achieving the country's largest number of EV sales to date. India is advancing its plan to achieve an 100% shift to EVs by 2030 alongside many other countries. The impact is now visible in increasing EV sales worldwide.

"We feel privileged to contribute to the global rally for electric mobility and we are excited to be able to expedite our SGP developments in order to meet increasing demand, and in doing so, we are well positioned to take advantage of the EV boom. I look forward to updating our shareholders as we evolve further, working to become a frontrunner in the global SPG market for batteries and EVs."

Multiple New Shallow Gold Targets Defined at Red Setter Project

Patersons Range, Western Australia

Please click the following link to view the figures and illustrations included in the below announcement

https://wishbonegold.com/images/2021/02/WSBN_RNS_Red_Setter_High_Resolution_Magnetic_Survey_Results_10jq210218.pdf

Highlights:

· 3D inversion of the Red Setter ultra-detailed magnetics has delineated 3 highly magnetic bodies over an expanded area now covering 3km x 1km.

· Largest individual priority 1 magnetic target has a 1500m strike length with a width of 400m and starts at around 75m from surface.

· Magnetic survey reveals that all magnetic targets are much shallower than 150m-250m depth previously modelled.

· The relatively shallower target depth is strongly advantageous both from an exploration and future development potential perspective.

· The Red Setter Project is located 13km south-west of Newcrest Mining’s Telfer Gold-Copper Mine and 60km west of Newcrest and Greatland Gold’s Havieron discovery.

Wishbone Gold Plc is pleased to advise that the detailed high-resolution magnetic survey recently flown over the Company’s Red Setter Project has delineated multiple highly prospective magnetic targets over a much larger 3km x 1km area than previously interpreted. The magnetic inversion modelling completed by Terra Resources on the higher resolution data has indicated that the targets are considerably shallower than previously modelled based on the older regional datasets.

Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold’s Chairman, commented, “The prospectivity of Red Setter has been greatly improved with this high-resolution magnetic survey, as the strength and size of the magnetic targets has significantly exceeded our original expectations in terms of understanding of the geometry and prospectivity. It is also very encouraging that the indicated target depth to the top of the structures is far shallower than previously modelled. We are now planning a detailed IP to target sulphide mineralisation and prepare for the maiden drilling programme. Further updates will be provided to the market upon finalisation of the program design and contracting of various specialists.”

I believe the public remains poorly served in respect of financial market commentary and that this has hampered necessary improvements in financial education.

It's not that difficult to be both data-driven AND engaging. Rampant editorialising or mind-numbing boredom are NOT the only options.

Antonio Russo & Trevor Taylor Joint CEO's of Zoetic International (ZOE.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 08:15:28 +0000

Zoetic is a responsible CBD company, listed on the London stock exchange.

It is headquartered in Colorado and retails products on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Company listed in London in March 2015 and originally established itself as a natural resources company. The remaining natural resources assets are undergoing a managed exit as the Company repositions itself as a pure-play CBD business. Zoetic’s principle operations are:

Zoetic-branded CBD products are sold in both the UK and Europe. This is the Company’s premium brand and it seeks to distinguish itself from its competitors by producing high quality products with full transparency of ingredients (disclosed on the label and the Company’s own website). Zoetic sells CBD oils (tinctures) and softgels as well as cosmetics and beauty products.

Distribution Agreements

Antonio Russo, Co-CEO of Zoetic, said: "This an exciting time for the Group, and we are confident that our careful approach to distribution will ultimately yield better sell-through rates and higher revenues, all whilst significantly boosting brand awareness. Rather than making a consolidated market entrance as an outlier, our incremental phased approach is designed to ensure that our products are the market favourite across every geography in which we operate. We are enthusiastic about the growing popularity of our lines and look forward to seeing this trajectory continue in the coming months."

Eric Schrader, formerly of Shrader Oil, commented: "With four generations of experience in the convenience store sector, we have seldom had a brand that, with no in store promotional spend, outsells famous brands with million-dollar marketing budgets. This kind of performance is why so many retail groups are keen to carry the Chill brand, and it's easy to come to the conclusion that we have something special here."

Drilling update from MOUNT CASSIDY Project

Tectonic Gold plc (TDIM: TTAU), the specialist Intrusive Related Gold System (“IRGS”) explorer, is pleased to announce further progress of the January 2021 drill program at Mount Cassidy, in Queensland, Australia

Mr. Brett Boynton, Managing Director – Tectonic Gold Plc commented:

“We are very encouraged with the visual review of samples from the drilling at Mt Cassidy so far. The team has completed 7 holes with mineralisation intersected in every hole, maintaining our perfect record in drill targeting. We know from our extensive surface sampling and historic mining records, that high grade gold at Cassidy is associated with pyrites, which we have picked up in all of the holes to date.

We have a strict safety-first policy, so with a major weather system nearby we have put drilling on hold temporarily with 4 holes to go. From drilling completed thus far, we have sufficient sampling to give us an excellent data set for our initial proofing analysis. Mt. Cassidy is an important project as Tectonic have made a discovery here which further justifies our IRGS methodology and advanced exploration technologies used to identify a system that had very limited surface expression.

After Tuesday company announcement we took the opportunity to speak with Graham and another major milestone in the development for Emmerson.

Graham Clarke, Emmerson's CEO, commented :

"This is another major milestone in the development of what is to become the first large scale potash mine in Africa. We are grateful to the Ministry that provided considerable support, greatly assisting us throughout the application process.

"By producing up to 800,000 tonnes of potash per year, for export or domestic consumption, Khemisset is forecast to deliver considerable economic benefits to our stakeholders including an anticipated 1% increase to the national tax revenues of Morocco. At the local level, the benefit to our stakeholders is even more important, with an estimated 40% increase to the local area GDP.

"We are all extremely proud to have achieved this most recent milestone, with the help of an expert team focused on putting this potash mine into production. I want to thank our hosts in Morocco and all the key members of the Emmerson team who have worked hard to deliver this well ahead of our original timeline.

"We continue to make strong progress with our financing discussions, including engagement with several potential equity funding partners, and we look forward to delivering updates on this in the near future."

REACH Certification to Supply Graphite into EU/EEA

Tirupati Graphite plc, the fully integrated, revenue generative, specialist graphite producer and graphene developer with operations in Madagascar and India, is pleased to announce that its group company Tirupati Speciality Graphite Private Limited (‘TSG’), has been accorded REACH certification for its range of expandable graphite products for marketing and sales into the European Union/ European Economic Area (‘EU/EEA’).

Shishir Poddar, CEO of Tirupati Graphite, said, “We are delighted that the ECHA has approved our REACH registration for our range of expandable graphite products, which have various applications like flame retardancy in construction, automobile and aerospace industries, gaskets and sealings, thermal management, flame retardant coatings and many more niche areas. Having already marketed and completed several pilot trials, this opens access for us to capitalise on the fast-growing appetite for these products in Europe where we anticipate ramping up sales, and into those countries globally that have adopted the REACH standard.

“Notably, the Company’s unique GrafEN45545 product is compliant with one of the most stringent flame retardancy and toxicity standards further adding value to our range of expandable graphite products. This bodes well given the upcoming UK Fire Safety Bill, which is targeted to address issues to ensure fire safety in all buildings. The registration will open more doors for us, in addition to qualifications already achieved and we expect additional successes from our foam technology collaborations.”

Upscaling of Vatomina Project's capacity in response to increased market demand

Tirupati Graphite plc, the fully integrated, revenue generative, specialist graphite producer and graphene developer with operations in Madagascar and India, is pleased to announce that in response to continued increased demand for its high-quality flake graphite from Madagascar, the Company will upscale the capacity of the first module at its Vatomina Project ('Vatomina') by 50% to a planned production of 9,000 tonnes per annum ('tpa'), which will result in an increase to near-term cash flows from operations.

Shishir Poddar, CEO of Tirupati Graphite, said, "We are already starting to see the fruits of our continued efforts to become a significant supplier to the rapidly growing global flake graphite market, which is being substantially driven by the growth in green applications including electric vehicles, thermal management and flame retardants.

"Flake graphite prices, and particularly in the larger flake sizes, have seen an uplift over the past quarter and we have received strong demand from our current and prospective buyers from diverse market segments. Our team's persistent dedication to meet our customers' expectations galvanised our decision to upscale the capacity of the first production module at Vatomina to 9,000tpa, which will take us to a significant total of 12,000tpa across our two projects in the near-term, while remaining on track to commission the new production module at Vatomina in Q2 2021. The upscaled capacity will boost our near-term cash flow generation which further enhances shareholder value at minimal costs."

Xtract Resources plc Update with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman (XTR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 15:13:34 +0000

On Friday the company provide a further update regarding progress of the second hole in the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia.

We spoke with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman today and he gives a comprehensive rundown of the company assets and what investors can expect short term.

Highlights

· Drilling in hole BRDD-21-002 has been extended to the current depth of 846.5m, past the original planned depth of 750m, as the hole has continued to intersect copper mineralisation.

· Mineralisation occurs in the form of disseminated and fracture-fill chalcopyrite throughout the lower marginal alteration zone of the porphyry to the current depth.

· Drilling will continue while the hole remains within the mineralised zone.

Drilling Background

Hole BRDD-21-002, the second hole of up to six planned holes in the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, is collared over 300m from the previous hole, angled at -80 degrees and is offset from strike with the aim of crossing through the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth.

Further information is available from the Company’s website which details the company’s project portfolio as well as a copy of this announcement: www.xtractresources.com

Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Eureka Copper Project Drilling Update/Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 11:58:31 +0000

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia’s world-class copper-gold province.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “We are very encouraged with the copper mineralisation intersected to date in the first hole of our three hole Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource. Substantial copper mineralisation commenced at a depth of 110m and continues to the current depth of the drill hole at 213.1m. The initial hand-held XRF results suggest the interval from 110m to 138m is grading 0.3% Cu with some intervals within that overall intersection grading up to 0.6% Cu.

Visually we can see that the copper mineralisation continues to the current total depth of drill hole BRDD-20-001 at 213.1m. The drilling programme is currently on a short break over the Christmas public holidays but will commence as soon as possible in the New Year when we will continue with this first hole down to its planned total depth of 815m.”

Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Bushranger Drilling Programme Progress/Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 14:26:46 +0000

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme - Progress Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update regarding progress of the second hole in the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Hole BRDD-21-002, the second hole of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, is collared over 300m from the previous hole, angled at -80 degrees and is offset from strike with the aim of crossing through the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth.

· Drilling has continued to a depth of 685m, passing through various rock alteration types as far as the current depth.

· Chalcopyrite copper mineralisation is observed through much of the lower part of the drill interval, accompanied by pyrite and pyrrhotite in the form of disseminations and fracture-fill. The hole is continuing.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The hole continues and the mineralisation thickness is to our expectations and beyond. We will extend the hole until we reach rock types which are atypical of porphyries in the area or the mineralisation diminishes completely."

Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Bushranger drilling programme progress update

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:23:58 +0000

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update regarding progress of the second hole in the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger porphyry copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Drilling of the second hole of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, has continued to 405m out of a planned hole depth of about 750m

· Hole BRDD-21-002 is angled at -80 degrees and is offset from strike with the aim of crossing through the down-plunge extension of the deposit at depth

· Weak to moderate copper mineralisation and bedrock alteration was first noted in the hole at a depth of about 130m within the hanging-wall margin of the deposit and becomes more pronounced from 340m as the hole approaches the main porphyry target zone

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “The rig was moved from the first down-plunge hole and commenced drilling on the current hole on 23 January. The new hole was sited offset from strike to intersect the deposit at a target depth of about 450-500m. We are currently cutting through a wide zone of geological alteration and low to moderate grade copper mineralisation lying above the main zone. We will continue to report results as the hole advances over the coming days.”

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 26 Jan 2021 08:48:04 +0000

Sale of 9 Kalahari Copper Belt Licences for US$3 million

to Sandfire Resources Ltd ("Sandfire") and

US$1.5 million subscription into Galileo by Sandfire

Galileo Resources plc ("Galileo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on 25 January 2021 it entered into two legally binding agreements with ASX listed Sandfire Resources Limited ( ASX:SFR) ("Sandfire").

Colin Bird Chairman & CEO said:

"This transaction with Sandfire represents a major step forward for Galileo in its Kalahari Copper Belt endeavours.

We are pleased to be working with Sandfire Resources, who are an Australian listed company and have an enviable track record of copper/gold discovery, development execution and operation. They have a commanding position in the Kalahari Copper Belt and hence we feel that this arrangement will benefit both parties to further enhance their positions. The transaction allows Sandfire to explore the Included Licences, which are in close proximity to their major mine build, and also allows Galileo to carry out exploration on the Excluded Licences.

We look forward to implementing the transaction and working alongside Sandfire in a region, where in my opinion, discovery and mine build has only just started."

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Drilling Programme Update

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 14:50:23 +0000

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update on the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Drilling of the first hole, BRDD-20-001, of the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, has been completed down the plunge of the deposit at 1,147m depth.

· Well-developed copper mineralisation and potassic alteration was noted from 110m to beyond 1,050m depth, becoming weaker thereafter.

· Given the substantial down-plunge dimension of the deposit as shown by the first hole, at least a further four holes of about 700m length each are planned across the deposit to test the width and grade.

· The drill rig is now being moved to drill the first of these follow-up holes.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "We are very pleased with the outcome of the first down-plunge hole at Bushranger. We now intend to complete a 4 to 6-hole follow-up drill programme across the deposit to obtain width and grade information. This information will then be utilised to restate the size and grade of the resource."

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme - Further Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide further news regarding progress of the first hole in the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia.

Highlights

· Drilling of the first of three planned holes on the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, has continued to 1,089m in angled drill hole BRDD-20-001

· Copper mineralisation was first noted at a depth of 110m and the hole has been mineralised continuously over a 940m interval to approximately 1,050m depth, 235m past the original planned finishing depth of the hole

· Strong potassic alteration and pyrite mineralisation continues to the current hole depth of 1,089m, however copper mineralisation has tapered out over the last 30m

· The hole will be extended further to test for possible pick-up in copper grades but will be stopped if significant additional mineralisation is not encountered

· The results of this hole will be assessed in the coming days and will feed into planning for the next holes of the programme: an independent porphyry deposit expert has been engaged to assist with developing future plans

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "Mineralisation in the current hole appears to be finally tapering out. We will continue drilling for a further 30-40m to check for any additional mineralisation. This has proven to be a highly encouraging first hole on the property for the Company, indicating that we are in the early stages of the potential discovery of a substantial new porphyry system on the Lachlan Fold Belt.

The results of the hole will be reviewed by an independent porphyry expert and a more detailed overview of the results will be released next week. We look forward to this and to the outcome of the remaining holes of the drill programme."

Highlights

· Drilling of the first of three planned holes on the Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, has now traced the plunge of the deposit to a downhole depth of 1,047m in angled drill hole BRDD-20-001

· Copper mineralisation in the hole was first noted at a depth of 110m and the hole has been mineralised continuously to the current depth of 1,047m, 232m past the original planned finishing depth

· The hole continues to encounter strong visible copper mineralisation, and will be further extended until the zone is drilled through

· The copper mineralisation is predominantly disseminated chalcopyrite (copper sulphides) within a strongly altered quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusive body

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The hole is still continuing in strong mineralisation to the current depth, extending the potential scale of the porphyry system at Racecourse. We will continue to drill until we bottom out of the zone."

Adam Davidson, CEO of Trident Royalties PLC (TRR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 10:42:17 +0000

LAKE REBECCA PROJECT DRILLING SHOWS POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED RESOURCES

Trident Royalties Plc (AIM:TRR, FSX:5KV), the growth-focused mining royalty and streaming company, is pleased to provide a technical update for the Lake Rebecca Gold Royalty (the "Royalty") over tenement E28/1610 which hosts the entirety of the million-ounce Lake Rebecca Gold Project ("LakeRebecca" or the "Project"), currently owned and operated by ASX-listed Apollo Consolidated ("Apollo") in Western Australia.

Since the completion of the Royalty acquisition (announced 29 October 2020) Apollo has released technical and drilling updates for the Project including the constituent Rebecca, Duchess, Duke and Cleo deposits (all of which are covered by the Royalty). Project highlights are summarised below.

Adam Davidson, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Trident commented:

"We are delighted by the exploration progress Apollo has made at the 1Moz Lake Rebecca Gold Project, over which Trident holds a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty.

"Since completing the royalty acquisition on 29 October 2020, Apollo has announced some very encouraging infill and exploratory drilling results which bode well for significant upgrades in the expected Q2 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate update, and which serve to further de-risk future technical studies on the project as Apollo seeks to fast track the project into mine construction.

"It is also encouraging to note that the royalty area shows prospectivity for the definition of further Resources as highlighted by developments at the emerging Cleo deposit. We look forward to following developments at the project as drilling continues and technical studies commence."

Pierpaolo Rocco, Executive Director of MetalNRG PLC (MNRG.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 16:03:13 +0000

After Friday company announcement of the BritNRG Limited (“BritNRG”) Oil and Gas acquisition. We took the opportunity to talk with Pierpaolo Rocco, Executive Director.

MetalNRG plc (LON:MNRG), the natural resource investing and exploration company, announces that it has received confirmation from the Oil & Gas Authority (“OGA”) that it does not oppose the change of control of Sunswept Enterprise Limited and associated subsidiaries to BritNRG Limited (“BritNRG”), the special purpose vehicle created for the acquisition.

As a result, BritNRG has now completed the transaction as announced on 9th October 2020 and has acquired 100% of Sunswept Enterprises Limited and related assets.

Following the completion of the acquisition and at current modest production levels, Sunswept is expected to be net cashflow positive at Brent prices sub $40/bbl, which is significantly below the current Brent price. A reduction of the breakeven oil price reference is expected as production levels are restored by bringing the Whisby #6 Well back on stream (by a wax removal workover) possibly within Q1/2021. Further reductions and additional cash generation is expected with the near-term development in both the Whisby and Newton on Trent assets. The relevant appraisals are nearing finalisation and BritNRG intends to present detailed plans to the OGA in the shortest possible timeframes.

Rolf Gerritsen, CEO of MetalNRG, commented:

“I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would like to thank Pierpaolo Rocco for his hard work in leading the transaction to a successful conclusion and I welcome the opportunity to work with the private investors who are our partners in this venture. Now that we have operational control of the assets the real work can commence and both Pierpaolo and I look forward to updating the market on BritNRG’s progress over the next few months as we develop the potential upside of the assets.”

The person who arranged for the release of this information is Rolf Gerritsen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

https://webcasting.brrmedia.co.uk/broadcast/60008bbc59cf24171a328549

Highlights

· Jubilee secures investment from two blue chip institutions, including one new to the share register

· The investment is made based on the Company's earnings and recognition of the accelerated implementation of its copper and cobalt strategy which holds the potential for enhanced sustainable and quality earnings growth

· The substantial investment made by these blue chip institutions is facilitated by both the partial conversion of the convertible loan note held by ACAM LP, which facilitated the acquisition of the Sable Refinery in 2019, as well as a share contribution by certain Jubilee directors

Leon Coetzer, Chief Executive Officer, says : "This combined investment by two traditionally long term, supportive institutional shareholders is a milestone acknowledgement of the Company's achievements and brings recognition to the successful implementation of our strategy to date and our focus going forward.

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme – Further Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) provide a further update on the Phase One diamond drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia.

Phase One Drilling Programme Plan at the Racecourse Mineral Resource – Bushranger Project

The Xtract Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource has been designed to follow up on the very encouraging results obtained by Anglo American Exploration Australia Pty Ltd (“Anglo”) in 2014 and 2015 (refer to RNS released on 01 June 2020). The objective of the programme is to continue to extend the highest-grade copper-gold intersections to the north-west, beyond the limits of previous drilling and to investigate the copper-gold zonation within the Racecourse Mineral Resource. The initial phase of drilling will comprise three Priority 1 drill holes for 2,290m. Providing encouraging results are received from the Priority 1 drill holes, a further six Priority 2 holes will potentially be drilled for an additional 3,995m. At 71Mt @ 0.44% Cu and 0.064g/t Au, at a 0.3% Cu cut-off, the Racecourse Mineral Resource within the Bushranger Project, is one of the largest undeveloped porphyry copper-gold deposits in the Lachlan Fold Belt.

Further information is available from the Company’s website which details the company’s project portfolio as well as a copy of this announcement: www.xtractresources.com

Share Talk Zak Mir Presents – A Live Q&A Session with Andrew Bell, CEO of Red Rock Resources Plc. Red Rock is a natural resource development company listed on the AIM market in London (AIM: RRR).

Recorded on the 12th of January, 2021, Andrew Bell answers shareholders question in this open forum.

Here are a few pointers covered during the live broadcast in no particular order

How do you compare Red Rock a year ago with Red Rock now? And where do you expect to be in a year’s time?
How are you going to measure your performance in the next year? What would be a success, and what would be a failure
These are very general questions, allowing an opportunity to re-establish context before questions become more diffuse.
Re the Mt Ida Iron Ore prospect to be spun out of Jupiter Mines.
When are you going to get your gold licenses granted in Victoria? And how long will it be before you can you get these assets listed?
How do you do business in corrupt environments, like Cameroon? [I know, we’re not in Cameroon, but that means I can answer the question generally, without mentioning DRC or Kenya]
What are your top 3 assets? How would you rank the projects?
What is the Company’s relationship with local authorities and communities?
At Migori in Kenya, CSA have been appointed, how much work do they need to do and what sort of time scale are we looking at to get the JORC done?
RRR previously submitted a mining application on the Kenyan tailings, what needs to be done to submit a new mining application and how long does he think it will take?
Do you intend to develop or sell the Kenyan assets?
At Musonoi in the DRC Red Rock said about 18 months ago that they were sending quarter cores off for analysis so that a maiden JORC could be generated. this was put on hold because of partner issues; where are they up to now? Do they have access to the cores, can they send the quarter core samples off for analysis, what needs to be done for the JORC
Apart from the Mt Ida iron ore royalty, do you have other royalties?
When are you planning to start field activities?
What is the latest on Luanshimba, does the recent phase one work help us at all or do we still need to get the phase two work done before we can form an idea on if we have anything?
As your investments in Jupiter and Power Metal Resources are now worth nearly £4m, should you sell them to provide funding for the other projects?
Why are you getting involved with Vector? Haven’t you got enough on your plate?

Drilling Results at Hope Copper-Gold Project

Exploration Drilling and Analytical Results at the Hope Copper-Gold Project, Namibia

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce results for its recent drilling programme at the Hope Copper-Gold Project in Namibia (the "Project").

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant, commented :

"The result of this initial programme achieved the objective of confirming our assertion that gold should be present at the Gorob-Vendome deposit since it is present at the Hope project. Both copper and gold values were pleasing and we will obviously internally rework the valuation of Gorob based on the new results. This result has provided us with increased motivation to test the 130km of strike under license and this will be carried out by a heli-airborne survey during this first quarter.

We are currently planning our initial reconnaissance holes for the manganese project in southern Botswana. Again, we are intending to start drilling in the first quarter."

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 15:37:16 +0000

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc (“Xtract” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a further update on the Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”), New South Wales, Australia. Drilling recommenced on 7 January 2021 after a short break over the Christmas – New Year holidays.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: “Following the customary short break over the Australian Christmas – New Year period, drilling of hole BRDD-20-001 at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Project, recommenced on 7 January and drilling is proceeding at a very pleasing rate of 80-90m per 24 hours.

The disseminated copper mineralisation, which commenced at a down hole depth of 110m, has continued to the current hole depth of 607m so we now have nearly 500m of mineralisation in this first drill hole which is very encouraging.

The mineralisation is fine grained chalcopyrite within a quartz feldspar porphyry intrusive body, which is characteristic of mineralised porphyry bodies within the Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales . If the mineralisation continues to the planned total hole depth of 815m we will just continue to drill until we drill through all the mineralisation.”

Phase One Drilling Programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource – Bushranger Project

The Phase One drilling programme commenced on 16 December 2020 (as announced on 16 December 2020) and by 21 December drill hole BRDD-20-001 had progressed to a depth of 213.1m, when drilling was suspended for the customary Australian holidays over the Christmas – New Year period. Drilling recommenced on 7 January 2021 (as announced on 7 January 2021) and by 11 January 2021, at the end of the drilling day shift, had reached a depth of 607m.

In drill hole BRDD-20-001 substantial copper mineralisation was first intersected at a downhole depth of 110m and continues to the current hole depth of 607m. The hole is planned to continue to a total depth of 815m. If drill hole BRDD-20-001 remains mineralised at the planned total depth of 815m, then drilling will continue until the mineralisation has been drilled through. Currently drilling is advancing at a rate of 80-90m per 24-hour period.

Samples for geochemical assay will be submitted to the geochemical laboratory on a progressive basis and it is anticipated that the first samples from drill hole BRDD-20-001 will be submitted before the end of the current week.

Jonathan Rowland, Executive Chairman Mode Global Holdings PLC (MODE.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 16:32:41 +0000

Mode is a UK fintech listed on the London Stock Exchange building financial products that will help accelerate the world's transition to a digital financial system combining the best of payments, investment, loyalty, and digital assets.

To date, Mode has launched a next-generation app that allows users to access sterling pound, euro and Bitcoin accounts, all in one place, and grow their digital assets through one of the highest-yielding and most flexible interest accounts for Bitcoin.

Mode also offers marketing, e-commerce and payments services for UK businesses looking to attract, engage and retain high-value customers globally. Mode is an official partner of WeChat Pay and AliPay.

The company was founded by Jonathan Rowland, Co-founder and Director of UK challenger bank Redwood Bank, the UK's first 100% 'born in the cloud' business bank using Microsoft Azure Platform.

Mode Reports Record-Breaking Month of December

Highlights

· Record-breaking trading volumes and new user numbers in December 2020

· Mode's October 2020 Bitcoin investment up over 100% in value

· In first few days of January, Mode sees 40% increase in user growth numbers compared to December

London, 5th January - Mode Global Holdings, the LSE-listed fintech group, reports a new record-breaking month with trading volumes and new user numbers surging over 1,500% and 500% respectively since August, as Bitcoin extends its historical, record-breaking rally.

Mode's strong performance mirrors the historical, record-breaking rally in Bitcoin, which hit $20,000 on December 16, surpassing its previous 2017 peak. In under three weeks, Bitcoin has gained another 70% to reach $34,000, a new record.

Janis Legler, Chief Product Officer, Mode: "The last few months for Mode have been exceptional as we have reached record growth rates. We've been particularly popular amongst first-time Bitcoin investors which caused our Bitcoin app to make it to the top 2 in the UK's App Store finance category in December, surpassing most high-street banking and fintech apps. Even during the holidays, over 90% of our eligible customers were able to open and verify their accounts in less than five minutes, instantly top up their wallet via Open Banking and buy Bitcoin right away. Unlike traditional stock markets, Bitcoin trades 24/7 which provides a truly innovative and revolutionary experience for new customers - they love it."

In October last year, Mode decided to utilise up to 10% of its IPO proceeds from shareholders to invest in Bitcoin, diversifying its treasury portfolio, and as of today, Mode is over 100% up on its original position. Mode was the first publicly listed company in the UK to officially announce a significant purchase of Bitcoin as part of its treasury investment strategy.

Jonathan Rowland, Executive Chairman, Mode: "If we look at Google Trends search volumes, the data suggests that retail investor appetite for Bitcoin has reached nowhere near the levels we saw in 2017. Until now, the recent price surge has been driven by high-net-worth individuals, family offices, hedge funds and corporates that have put Bitcoin on their balance sheets, like Microstrategy, Square and Mode. This has also resulted in an increase in appetite for Bitcoin-related stocks from companies with balance sheet exposure or companies that receive revenue in Bitcoin, like mining companies. We believe that public markets provide sound credibility and legitimacy to Bitcoin as an asset class and we are extremely proud to be leading the way to further support Bitcoin in 2021."

"Mode is still a new entrant to the market causing trading income to be modest at present, however, we believe that, in common with other tech companies, it is vital to focus on building growth and we are proud of the progress achieved. In the first few days of January alone, Mode has already seen a 40% increase in user growth numbers compared to its weekly average during its record-breaking December, signaling another strong month ahead."

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals (UFO.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 10:44:42 +0000

The company announced early January 2021 on social media, access being cleared for Hamersley Iron Ore Project Maiden Drilling Program, Job done loaded to depart– Alien ready to get drill rig to site.

We spoke with Bill Brodie Good, to hear what Alien Metals has in store in the opening quarter of 2021.

Alien Metals Ltd is a mining exploration and development company listed on AIM of the London Stock Exchange (LSE: UFO). The Company's focus is on precious and base metal commodities.

Alien Metals has embarked upon an acquisition-led strategy headed by a high-quality geological team to build a strong portfolio of diversified assets including two recent acquisitions in 2019. These include the Brockman and Hancock Ranges high-grade (Direct Shipping Ore) iron ore projects and the Elizabeth Hill Silver projects both located in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

In addition to progressing and developing its portfolio of assets and following its strategic review of its portfolio of silver and precious metals projects in Mexico, Alien Metals has identified priority exploration targets within its 9 mining concessions which it is working to advance systematically. The Company's silver projects are located in the Zacatecas State, Mexico's largest silver producing state which produced over 190m oz of silver in 2018 alone accounting for 45% of the total silver production of Mexico for that year.

David Minchin, CEO of Helium One Global Ltd (HE1.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:57:34 +0000

David Minchin, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our Admission to AIM is a hugely significant moment for Helium One. Following our oversubscribed capital raise we are fully funded to carry out an aggressive exploration programme commencing in Q1/Q2 2021.

This drilling programme will enable us to prove what we believe is an asset with globally strategic implications in a supply-constrained helium market.

"Helium One is the only company listed on AIM that provides investors exposure to helium - a scarce and irreplaceable commodity which is essential for many modern technologies. We look forward to updating our new and existing shareholders as we progress this programme."

The number of ordinary shares in issue immediately after Admission will be 496,893,111 giving the Company a market capitalisation of approximately £14.1 million at the issue price of 2.84 pence per share.

It is rare that momentum for a hot stock is seen from the professional investors first, and then trickles down to the rest of the market. However, there was a “top-down” appreciation of Helium One in the run-up and aftermath to joining AIM at the end of 2020. After the over-subscribed placing at 2.84p from the ashes of Attis Oil & Gas, we have seen the shares trade now lower than 3.8p as traders have scrambled for stock.

This looks set to continue as speculation grows regarding timelines to production during 2021 with regard to the company’s massive asset in Tanzania, where helium apparently just seeps from the ground. Given the way production once it starts is likely to last for decades, fuelling the Green Revolution, it is not difficult to understand the interest in the stock which only started with a market cap of £14m after raising £6m. It would certainly appear that appetite for Helium One is set to grow over the next 12 months.

This, therefore, appears to be a situation which is essentially ground floor, but where interest has yet to trickle down to the bulk of investors, thereby hinting at considerable further upside. The fact, that this is a company which has few peers means that the prospect of an ongoing re-rate is very much in place.

Bezant (AIM: BZT), the copper-gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the conditional acquisition of 100% of Metrock Resources Ltd ("Metrock") and its manganese mineral exploration licences in Southern Botswana comprising the Kanye Manganese Project.

Conditional Acquisition of 100% of Metrock Resources Ltd

and its mineral exploration licences in Southern Botswana,

comprising the Kanye Manganese project

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant, commented :

"Bezant has in the last year been focussing on Southern Africa and has made significant additions to its copper gold portfolio in both Zambia and Namibia. This growing presence in Southern Africa gave rise to the opportunity to acquire the Kanye Manganese Project in Botswana in an area where high grade battery manganese has been discovered which is much sought after for tomorrow's energy storage equation. The underlying mineral licences represent exploration rights to a very large area of highly prospective manganese bearing ground.

Bushranger Copper/ Gold Project Drilling Programme Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia's world-class copper-gold province.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "We are very encouraged with the copper mineralisation intersected to date in the first hole of our three hole Phase One drilling programme at the Racecourse Mineral Resource. Substantial copper mineralisation commenced at a depth of 110m and continues to the current depth of the drill hole at 213.1m.

The initial hand-held XRF results suggest the interval from 110m to 138m is grading 0.3% Cu with some intervals within that overall intersection grading up to 0.6% Cu. Visually we can see that the copper mineralisation continues to the current total depth of drill hole BRDD-20-001 at 213.1m.

The drilling programme is currently on a short break over the Christmas public holidays but will commence as soon as possible in the New Year when we will continue with this first hole down to its planned total depth of 815m."

I am particularly excited by our momentum with customers, such as the first NHS contract in South Wales for Induction Switch, and admission onto the NHSX Clinical Communications Framework.

We have an exciting and active pipeline of acquisition opportunities which will further enhance the product offering of the Group.

"Ongoing growth in user engagement, amongst doctors and patients alike, is testament to the value healthcare stakeholders are getting across the range of Induction products. This progress, allied to our robust balance sheet, future contracted revenue, a major collaboration with Cerner and NHSX Clinical Communications framework supports confidence of further progress in the remainder of the financial year.

Craig Moulton, Director of Cobra Resources PLC (COBR.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 09:44:35 +0000

As this year has unfolded, Cobra has quietly gone about its business and build up the infrastructure that looks very promising for 2021.

Having released its first set of results from the Wudinna Project – Clarke Assay Results, Craig Hope to have another set of results out before Christmas or worst case early in the NewYear

Craig Moulton, Director of Cobra, commented:

“Given we still have 80 per cent of the assay results still to come, we are very excited about these initial high-grade intersections at Clarke which have positive indications for the future of the Wudinna Project. The substantial 31m intersection has been intersected north of mineralisation previously drilled at Clarke. It is apparent that extensions down dip and along strike from this intersection represent a high priority target for a future drilling programme.

It is important to remember that there are currently no resources estimated for Clarke and so we now have the potential for a new resource zone some 1.75 km north of that existing at Baggy Green.”

With Canadian Overseas Petroleum Acquisition of Atomic Oil & Gas LLC, we took the opportunity to speak with Arthur Millholland, President & CEO of COPL to listen to his overview on the new update.

Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited (“COPL” or the “Company”) (XOP: CSE) & (COPL: LSE), announces that it has agreed to acquire Atomic Oil & Gas LLC (“Atomic”) for a consideration of US$54 million consisting of assumed debt, cash and shares. This strategic acquisition would represent a step-change in the capacity and revenue-generating opportunities open to the Company. COPL expects to complete the acquisition by January 31, 2021, with a long stop date in the agreement of 90 days from execution. The effective date of the transaction is December 1, 2020.

Arthur Millholland, President and CEO, commented: “This is a game-changing acquisition which will materially reposition COPL as a production company with assets that have a long-term lifecycle and rapid production opportunity.

Oil production assets of this quality, having an incline curve rather than a decline curve, are rarely available for purchase. Circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 situation created this favourable opportunity for COPL. With this acquisition, in addition to the substantial upside potential already present in our Nigerian offshore project, the Company is now strategically well placed to deliver enhanced value and returns to shareholders.”

Bushranger Commencement Of Drilling

Announced that it has commenced the Phase One drilling programme on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales, Australia’s only world-class copper-gold province.

As previously announced, the Phase One drilling programme will consist of three diamond drill holes for 2,290m, with the objective of testing the potential extensions to the northwest of the Racecourse Mineral Resource, which was estimated in 2018 as 71Mt @ 0.44% Cu and 0.064g/t Au, at a 0.3% Cu cut-off, and has been classified as Inferred in accordance with JORC (2012).

The Phase One drilling programme will follow up drill intersections such as 159m @ 0.4% Cu and 0.2g/t Au in drill hole BRD001 and 169m @ 0.4% Cu and 0.1g/t Au in drill hole BRD009 (as previously announced these drill results have not yet been independently tested or verified by Xtract) and investigate the zonation of higher gold grades within the Racecourse Mineral Resource.

Carl Esprey, CEO of Contango Holdings PLC (CGO.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 15:47:20 +0000

Multi-million-ounce resource potential indicated at Garalo Gold Project in Mali

Carl Esprey, Executive Director of Contango Holdings, said: "Garalo was acquired with the intention of bringing into production a small but highly profitable gold mine. The publication of this Report, which included both reinterpretation of historic data as well as information not previously incorporated in the historic 320,000-ounce figure, has made it clear that Garalo is significantly larger than first envisaged, with the potential to be a sizeable, multi-million-ounce standalone mine, rivalling some of our neighbours in this world class gold producing region.

"The resource quantum now being contemplated at Garalo suggest the Company should bypass the previously reported initial 10,000oz per annum development scenario, instead bringing a larger +30,000oz per annum heap leach operation onstream from the shallow oxides and providing Contango cashflow from Garalo in late 2021. With an estimated profitability of circa US$1,000oz at current gold prices, this would enable not only capital returns to shareholders potentially as early as 2022, but also fund a comprehensive exploration campaign focussed on realising the asset's multi-million ounce potential.

"The Contango in-country team is continuing with detailed core re-logging and field geological and structural mapping and will shortly initiate further tighter line-spacing airborne and radiometric surveys, ahead of fast-tracking a modest confirmatory drilling programme before progressing with the development. As previously reported, this expanded development case is expected to be funded through non-equity finance either via regional banks and / or royalty providers.

"This is an exceptionally exciting development for Contango, and we are committed to identifying the best development route through which to maximise the value of this asset for all stakeholders, combining the desire for early cashflow with discovering the full potential Garalo offers. Following our recent capital raise, the Company is in a solid financial position to react to this development at Garalo whilst also advancing development of our Lubu Coal Project in Zimbabwe, where we expect to commence mine pit construction in January 2021.

"With coking coal performing strongly over recent weeks and the interest we are seeing in our coking coal and coke product, I am confident that Contango has two high quality near term production assets which will deliver significant returns to shareholders."

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals (UFO.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 16:36:12 +0000

Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM: UFO) provide an update on the Company’s Elizabeth Hill Silver Project and the Hamersley Iron Ore Project, Western Australia. We took the opportunity to speak with Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of the company about today update.

Chief Executive Officer, Bill Brodie Good said :

“The granting of the program of works is a key requirement to undertaking ground-disturbing activities at Elizabeth Hill. Now the approvals are in place, the technical team is finalising plans to shortly commence a long-awaited field exploration program at Elizabeth Hill which will initially focus on the trenching program to explore for a repeat silver orebody due-south of the historic mine, grid sampling of the old tailings which are understood to still contain significant silver, opening up the main shaft to assess the current water levels and get some samples to be able to request permission to pump out the water safely. We are looking to mobilise the team on-site pre-Christmas, with work to recommence at the start of 2021.

Elizabeth Hill holds enormous potential for the Company, both in the old mine and its bonanza grades and the unique nuggets associated with the deposit, as well as the numerous untested nearby targets associated with a significant geological intrusion already proven to host at least two significant mineral deposits.

“Recent work on the Hamersley Project has been consistently encouraging. Being able to start work on a direct access route into the Kalgan Prospect from Newman in the Hancock Ranges Project is a bonus because it means we can get the access done much quicker and more cost-effectively, leaving us more funds for drilling. We have a tender out with a number of drilling contractors for carrying out our maiden drill program in early 2021.

We look forward to an extremely busy field season and developing both projects significantly for the Company and our investors.”

George Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of Rainbow Rare Earths (RBW.L) Interview

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 16:40:35 +0000

Share Talk spoke with George Bennett, CEO of RBW to hear a bit more about about the company and the current work scope in the Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project in South Africa

Rainbow's strategy is to become a globally-significant producer of rare earth metals. NdPr are vital components of the strongest permanent magnets used for the motors and turbines driving the green technology revolution.

Analysts are predicting demand for magnet rare earth oxides will grow substantially over the coming years, driven by increasing adoption of green technology, pushing the overall market for NdPr into deficit.

The Company's Gakara Project in Burundi, which produces one of the highest-grade concentrates in the world (typically 54% total rare earth oxide ("TREO")) through ongoing trial mining operations, is currently the only African producer of rare earths. The Gakara basket is weighted heavily towards NdPr, which account for over approximately 19.5% of the contained TREO and 80% of the value of the concentrate.

The Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project, located in South Africa, comprises approximately 35 million tonnes of gypsum resulting from historic phosphate hard rock mining, containing rare earth elements with an estimated average in situ grade of 0.6% TREO, based on previous sampling campaigns, of which 30% comprises high-value NdPr. The rare earths are contained in chemical form in the gypsum stacks, which is expected to deliver a higher-value rare earth carbonate, with lower operating costs than a typical rare earth mineral project.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Xtract Resources plc (XTR.L) Interview

Bushranger Project Phase One Drill Programme

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received all required governmental approvals in order to proceed with its maiden, Phase One, drilling programme on the Bushranger copper-gold exploration project located in the Lachlan Fold Belt ("LFB"), New South Wales, Australia's only world-class copper-gold province. Drilling on the Bushranger Project is scheduled to commence during the first week of December 2020.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "With the completion of the acquisition of ProspectOre Pty Ltd and the Bushranger copper-gold project, we have moved to commence drilling as quickly as possible. The Phase One drilling programme on the Racecourse Mineral Resource will investigate the potential north-western extension of the existing Mineral Resource and also investigate the zonation of gold mineralisation within the deposit. The last drilling completed on the project by Anglo American in 2014-2015, exhibited higher-grade gold zones than located by earlier drilling programmes and our Phase One drilling programme is designed to investigate the trends of the higher grade gold mineralisation within the copper-gold deposit in addition to seeking to extend the copper-gold mineralisation beyond the current boundary of the Mineral Resource. Providing the three Phase One drill holes are successful we have an additional six drill holes planned to further investigate the extent of, and gold distribution within, the Racecourse Mineral Resource. Drilling is on track to commence during the first week of December and we will keep the market updated as drilling progresses."

Where to start, Alien Metals news flow keeps coming, Encouraging results of soil sampling at Elizabeth Hills Silver Project, Capstone commences detailed IP Survey at Donovan 2 Copper-Gold Project.

The company raised £2.5 million for Exploration Activities and yesterday announced Final Assay Results and Maiden Drilling Programme Plans at Hamersley Iron Ore Projects. With the share price hitting a 52 week high yesterday, we wanted to speak with Bill and hear his take on the recent news flow.

Final Assay Results and Maiden Drilling Programme Plans at Hamersley Iron Ore Projects

These confirmed high-grade iron ore results of up to 66.95% Fe, supporting the findings from x-ray fluorescence (‘XRF’) readings that were published on 29 October 2020. As a result, drilling access at the Hancock Ranges Project, which will focus on the Kalgan prospect where laboratory results have displayed excellent levels of Direct Shipping Ore (‘DSO’), has been scoped to finalise a maiden programme that will consist of between 3,500-4,000m of RC drilling.

With the necessary Programme of Works (‘POW’) submitted and the Group’s recent £2.5m fundraising now completed, Alien is now positioned to advance not only this opportunity but also its other highly prospective base and precious metals projects in Mexico, Australia and Greenland

Werner Klingenberg, CEO of Goldplat commented: "The current financial period for Goldplat has not just been a year of turnaround performance in its continuing operations, but also a transitional period, with a renewed focus on key initiatives in its recovery operations, whilst moving away from mining.

The strong performance in the recovery operations reinforced our decision to divest from our exploration and mining portfolio. The discontinuing of our exploration and mining segment gave us the opportunity to impair Group assets to provide a clear view of the financial position of our continuing operations. The increase in the supply of material during the period and the strengthening of our customer base, supported by the higher gold prices, has provided us with a good platform to drive our strategic initiatives during the next period and to return value to shareholders again."

Share Talk LTD — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:25:14 +0000

Providence Resources P.l.c.: Farm-out Agreement Signed - Standard Exploration Licence 1/11 Barryroe Oil and Gas Field, North Celtic Sea

Alan Linn Chief Executive of Providence said: “The development of the Barryroe field is an exciting opportunity for the people of Ireland and the Barryroe partnership and, as production builds following the implementation of the Early Development Programme (EDP), we will begin to produce indigenous energy and petrochemical feedstocks for the Irish market.

Indigenous production will support Irish energy security; encourage the progress of renewable technologies and deliver raw materials used in the production of many of the essential items we take for granted in our daily lives.

Over the coming months, we will be working with the SpotOn Team to complete the transaction; finalise the project schedule; progress the government approvals and develop the detailed drilling and facilities work programmes. I think Ireland and the Cork area will benefit economically from the field development and subsequent production for many years to come.”

Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented: "To have commenced exploration activities on the Northern Zone Project near Kalgoorlie, only two weeks after acquiring this asset is an excellent effort from our geological consultants in Australia and underscores our commitment to demonstrating the resource potential of this highly prospective asset in as short timeframe as practicable.

Historical work has highlighted both the gold and nickel potential of this exciting project, and this field-based exploration programme aims to provide the requisite data inputs required to plan a detailed drilling campaign in H1 2021.

We look forward to providing further updates to the market with respect to the evaluation of Northern Zone and Jundee East as significant findings become available."

Shaun Richards, independent economist, real Inflation rate, Furlough, QE, kicking the can

Share Talk LTD — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 17:11:59 +0000

Shaun Richards is an independent economist who specialises in inflation measurement and monetary economics, Adviser to pension and investment funds. Bank of England watcher.

My name is Shaun Richards and I regularly analyse economic events and developments on Core Finance TV. You may also have heard me on Bloomberg Radio in the mornings or seen my comments and articles in newspapers such as the Business live section of the Guardian City-AM and the Daily Express. I also write economics reports for investment groups, hedge funds and for pension funds. For the latter the work often relates to inflation measurement for both existing and future pensioners often the relevance of the measures used for this.

Also I have become something of specialist Bank of England watcher in terms of subjects like QE (Quantitative Easing) and its many new policies.

In terms of my history, am an independent economist who studied at the London School of Economics. My speciality was (and remains) monetary economics. I worked in the City of London for several investment banks and then on my own account over a period of 15 years. After initially working in the government bond department at Phillips and Drew Ltd. I moved on into the derivatives arena with options of all types being a speciality. I never lost my specialisation in UK interest rates and also traded as a local on the London International Financial Futures Exchange where I mostly traded futures and options on future and present UK interest rates. So with my specialisations of monetary economics and knowledge of derivatives I have plenty of expertise to deploy on the financial and economic crisis which has unfolded in recent years.

I have also worked in Tokyo Japan again in the derivatives sphere and the Japanese “lost decade” made me think about what I would do if it spread,which is ever more relevant as so many places show signs of “Turning Japanese”.

Placing to Raise £2M to Exercise Option to Acquire 75% of the High-Grade Eclipse Gold Project, Update on Sale of Georgian Projects

Mike Struthers, CEO, said, "The support that we have received from new and existing shareholders in completing this placing is an endorsement of our confidence in the potential for significant high-grade gold resource development at the Eclipse Gold Project. The results achieved to date from Eclipse have been very encouraging, with the latest set confirming that the mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, with high-grade drill results along strike of existing historical workings confirming an extension to the main high-grade lode.

"With Eclipse, we are operating in what is generally considered the highest-ranked mining jurisdiction globally and are developing this project in a region which already hosts numerous world-class gold mines and development assets. I am enthusiastic about our opportunity to develop a new standalone gold mine at Eclipse and I look forward to providing further updates as we continue to interpret the data."

Nickolai Hubble is the editor of Fortune & Freedom, Jim Rickards’ Strategic Investment in Australia and a contributing editor of The Daily Reckoning Australia.

After finishing his degrees in finance and law at Bond University in Australia in 2009, working for an investment bank didn’t seem so enticing any more. An internship with his scholarship provider Goldman Sachs during the height of the financial crisis was quite enough of that.

Instead, Nick went to work for the company which allows its analysts to predict the financial crises that investment bankers cause. A network of publishing businesses dedicated to bringing you ideas that are too controversial to get a hearing in the mainstream press. And that’s where Nick found a very comfortable home.
