    Formation Metals to launch 20,000 metre drill program at N2 Gold Project
    May 30 2025
    Formation Metals CEO Deepak Varshney joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce plans for a 20,000-metre multi-phase drill program at the company’s flagship N2 Gold Project in Quebec. The N2 Project hosts a historic global resource of approximately 870,000 ounces of gold, including 18 million tonnes grading 1.4 g/t Au across four zones, and 243,000 tonnes grading 7.82 g/t Au in the high-grade RJ zone. The N2 project was acquired from Walbridge Mining in January. Varshney said the project attracted them because of a historical resource and a clear pathway to expanding this to over 3 million ounces.. Varshney confirmed that the first 5,000 metres of drilling is fully funded and set to begin this summer. The program will focus on discovery drilling at new high-potential targets along the mineralized trends in the “A,” “RJ,” and “Central” zones in the northern part of the property. The goal is to uncover new gold-bearing trends and expand existing mineralization. Additionally, the program will include targeted infill and expansion drilling to significantly enhance the project’s resource base, supported by a recently secured exploration permit. #proactiveinvestors #formationmetalsinc #cse #fomo #otc #fomtf #GoldExploration #N2Project #QuebecMining #JuniorMining #GoldDrilling #MiningInvesting #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #ProactiveInvestors

  • Helix Exploration starts trading on OTCQB under ticker 'HHEXF' to boost US access

    Helix Exploration starts trading on OTCQB under ticker 'HHEXF' to boost US access
    May 30 2025
    Helix Exploration PLC CEO Bo Sears talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s newly launched trading on the US-based OTCQB market under the ticker 'HHEXF'. Already listed on London's AIM, the company is expanding access to US investors by offering an additional route for participation in its helium development strategy. Sears explained the reasoning behind the dual listing, stating: “We have had so much interest here in the United States. It is very difficult for a US investor to invest on the AIM market. So this just gives them another avenue.” He also expressed optimism that trading volumes seen on AIM would translate into the US market, helping drive further liquidity. The CEO described Helix's operations as a “large single field, multiple well development” and emphasised the company’s low-cost model, which he believes provides a competitive advantage under current market pressures. “Each drill, we come in at a lower cost... from a competitor standpoint, I think we are far beyond most of our competitors in this space,” he said. The move aligns with Helix's forward-looking growth strategy as the company transitions toward production. Sears stated the company is operating “full steam ahead” and the OTCQB listing is “just another avenue” to broaden its investor base.

  • Retail investors back Ilika's battery strategy in oversubscribed offer

    Retail investors back Ilika's battery strategy in oversubscribed offer
    May 30 2025
    Ilika Plc CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen about the company’s fundraising success and how the proceeds will be allocated across its core battery technologies. The company recently closed a funding round with strong interest from both institutional and retail investors. The company raised £0.9 million through an oversubscribed retail share offer, on top of £3.3 million raised from institutional investors. "Retail investors are really important to Ilika. They make up a substantial part of our investor base," said Purdy, highlighting Ilika’s commitment to offering equitable investment opportunities. The raised funds will be split approximately one-third toward Ilika’s Stereax batteries, designed for miniature medical devices and specialist Internet of Things applications, and two-thirds toward its Goliath batteries, which are aimed at electric vehicles and consumer appliances. On the Stereax side, Purdy said the funds will support a tech transfer process to US-based Cirtec Medical, along with customer validation and testing. For Goliath, the company is progressing through a prototype design and build phase, with upcoming releases of the P1.5 10-amp prototypes targeted for later this summer. Purdy noted that part of the new capital will go toward acquiring advanced testing equipment, enabling Ilika to collect necessary battery performance data as it approaches market readiness. Watch the full video to hear how Ilika plans to support customers in both battery lines and drive adoption across key sectors. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

  • Tiger Gold Corp and LCL Resources forge strategic alliance with transformational project acquisition

    Tiger Gold Corp and LCL Resources forge strategic alliance with transformational project acquisition
    May 29 2025
    Tiger Gold Corp CEO Robert Vallis and LCL Resources Executive Chairman Chris (van vake)Van Wijk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide deeper insight into a transformational deal for both companies: Tiger Gold Corp’s acquisition of the Quinchia and Andes gold projects in Colombia from LCL Resources. This strategic transaction sets the stage for accelerated development and value creation, moving these promising assets from exploration into an aggressive development trajectory. Under the terms of the binding Share Purchase Option Agreement, Tiger Gold will acquire 100% ownership of the projects for AUD$14 million in cash, along with a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) retained by LCL. The deal marks a significant shift for Tiger Gold from a predominantly exploration-focused entity to a development-stage gold company, with the resources and team now in place to unlock the full potential of the Quinchia District. The Quinchia and Andes projects are considered some of the most promising emerging gold opportunities in Colombia. Located in the country's renowned Mid-Cauca Gold Belt, the assets include the advanced-stage Miraflores deposit, which is fully permitted for underground development, as well as the nearby Tesorito deposit, a newer discovery that shows strong potential for resource expansion and synergies with Miraflores. Together, these deposits represent over 2 million ounces of discovered gold to date, with significant upside remaining through continued exploration. LCL Resources, having spent several years advancing these assets through disciplined exploration, community engagement, and environmental stewardship, has laid a strong foundation. Executive Chairman Chris Van Wijk noted that the company’s success in securing local trust and permitting at Miraflores has been a cornerstone of its value creation strategy. “This isn’t just a resource play—it’s a demonstration of responsible mining and authentic partnership with our Colombian stakeholders,” said Van Wijk. “We’re confident that Tiger Gold is the right partner to take this to the next stage.” For Tiger Gold Corp, this acquisition provides a clear pathway to production. CEO Robert Vallis outlined the company’s near-term plan, which includes the launch of a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). This study will focus on the fully permitted Miraflores deposit and incorporate the adjacent Tesorito discovery, with the goal of integrating both into a coherent development plan. The PEA will serve as a launching point for more detailed engineering and economic analysis, ultimately paving the way for a Feasibility Study targeted for 2026, and a subsequent construction decision. Both Vallis and Van Wijk emphasized that the transaction reflects not only a transfer of assets but the beginning of a strategic relationship between the companies—one that may extend into future collaboration opportunities. As work begins on the ground, Tiger Gold is assembling technical and permitting teams to prepare for expanded drilling, updated resource modeling, and engineering studies that will form the backbone of the PEA. These early initiatives are designed to de-risk the project, build investor confidence, and maintain momentum through to the next critical development milestones. #proactiveinvestors #asx #lcl #lclresources #tigergoldcorp LCLResources #TigerGold #GoldExploration #PapuaNewGuinea #MiningNews #JuniorMining #GoldInvestment #ESGMining #PorphyryGold #KusiDeposit #ColombianAssets #MiningDeal #ResourceExpansion #ProactiveInvestors

  • Saturna Capital’s Scott Klimo highlights active, Islamic-Compliant Global ETF strategy

    Saturna Capital’s Scott Klimo highlights active, Islamic-Compliant Global ETF strategy
    May 29 2025
    Saturna Capital Chief Investment Officer Scott Klimo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the firm's distinctive approach to Islamic investing through its European-listed Saturna Al-Kawthar Global Focused Equity UCITS ETF. Saturna Capital is the largest manager of Islamic-compliant assets in North America, managing approximately $8 billion and bringing over 36 years of experience to the space. Klimo highlighted that the ETF is actively managed, setting it apart from most Islamic investment vehicles, which are typically index-based. Each month, the firm screens roughly 5,000 global stocks, of which around 2,400 meet its Islamic compliance criteria. The screening process includes: • Qualitative filters, excluding industries such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and conventional finance. • Quantitative rules, notably a cap on debt levels to ensure financial compliance with Islamic principles. Rather than seeing this narrower universe as restrictive, Klimo views it as a strength. “We’re actually creating a pool of stocks that are predisposed to outperform,” he said, suggesting that compliant companies tend to be financially healthier and better positioned for downside protection. The ETF follows a global allocation strategy, with about 40% of holdings outside the U.S., focused on markets like Europe and Japan, where Klimo sees more attractive valuations. This approach allows investors to gain exposure to global equities while adhering to Islamic principles, backed by active management and disciplined screening. #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #SaturnaCapital #ScottKlimo #IslamicInvesting #GlobalEquityETF #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialMarkets #IslamicFinance #AssetManagement #EthicalInvesting #MarketInsights #IslamicCompliantAssets #ETFInvesting #InvestmentPortfolio #EconomicOutlook #StockMarket #TechnologyStocks #HealthcareInvesting #IndustrialsSector #ConsumerStaples #ConsumerDiscretionary #InterestRates #MarketConditions #EconomicTrends #WealthManagement #AssetAllocation #InvestorInsights

  • DynaResource reports Q1 2025 results, unveils new veins and technical milestone at SJG project

    DynaResource reports Q1 2025 results, unveils new veins and technical milestone at SJG project
    May 29 2025
    DynaResource Inc CEO Rohan Hazelton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share operational and financial highlights for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, from the company’s flagship San Jose de Gracia (SJG) Mine in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental gold belt. Hazelton reported a 12% decrease in operating expenses compared to Q1 2024, and a 16% drop versus Q4 2024, reflecting the positive impact of the company’s ongoing mine optimization program. Among the most notable developments was the discovery of three new mineralized veins resulting from extensive development work. These veins can be rapidly integrated into the mine plan, offering near-term production upside in Q2 2025. A key milestone for the company was the filing of a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) Technical Report, which includes a maiden Mineral Reserve and updated Mineral Resource estimate for the SJG project. This formalization marks an important step forward, enabling DynaResource to expand its strategic planning and support further growth. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch a growth-focused exploration program, targeting resource expansion and delineation of new mineralized zones. Near-mine extension drilling is slated to begin in Q3 2025, with regional exploration to follow later in the year. The optimization efforts remain focused on increasing gold ore grades, boosting mill throughput, and enhancing recovery rates The San Pablo Sur, San Pablo, La Mochomera, and Tres Amigos zones will continue to be core contributors to production, with ongoing development in these areas designed to access additional high-grade ore zones. DynaResource appears well-positioned to capitalize on near-term production gains while laying the foundation for longer-term resource growth and operational scale at the SJG Mine. #proactiveinvestors #dynaresourceinc #otcqx #dynr #DynaResource #MiningStocks #JuniorGold #GoldExploration #PreciousMetals #RohanHazelton #MexicoMining #MiningUpdate #InvestorNews

  • Fortune Bay Corp advances Goldfields and Ixhuatan projects with key milestones in sight

    Fortune Bay Corp advances Goldfields and Ixhuatan projects with key milestones in sight
    May 29 2025
    Fortune Bay Corp CEO Dale Verran joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s strategic plans and upcoming milestones, with a focus on the Goldfields Project in Saskatchewan and the Ixhuatan Project in Mexico, soon to be rebranded as the Pomoa Rosa Project. At Goldfields, the company has commissioned an Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), scheduled for completion in Q3 2025. This Updated PEA is a significant step forward, as it aims to rescope the project based on current gold prices and incorporate recommendations from a recent optimization study by Fuse Advisors. The study evaluated the most effective path to production, factoring in both economic feasibility and permitting considerations. Verran emphasized that the Updated PEA is expected to serve as a launchpad for further de-risking, paving the way toward a Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study. In parallel, Fortune Bay has initiated planning for permitting activities. The company benefits from an existing Exploration Agreement with the Goldfields communities, which provides consent for all activities up to a bankable feasibility stage—a major advantage in streamlining project advancement. Turning to the Ixhuatan Project in Mexico, which is being renamed the Pomoa Rosa Project, Verran shared that the company is actively engaged in community consultations aimed at establishing exploration agreements in line with Fortune Bay’s social and environmental commitments. Meetings are ongoing, with the goal of restarting exploration activities by late 2025. With a dual-pronged strategy focused on both advancing development at Goldfields and reviving exploration at Pomoa Rosa, Fortune Bay is positioning itself for a transformative period of growth, backed by a commitment to responsible practices and long-term value creation. #proactiveinvestors #fortunebaycorp #tsxv #otcqb #ftbyf #GoldfieldsProject #PomaRosa #GoldExploration #MiningNews #TSXV #SaskatchewanMining #MexicoMining #JuniorMining #GoldMarket #DaleVerran #ProactiveInvestors

  • VettaFi’s Stacey Morris highlights appeal of Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend ETF

    VettaFi’s Stacey Morris highlights appeal of Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend ETF
    May 29 2025
    VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive about the performance and growing investor interest in the Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend ETF. The ETF tracks a dividend-weighted index of U.S. and Canadian midstream energy infrastructure companies and U.S. master limited partnerships. Morris emphasized that midstream companies, which manage the transportation, storage, and processing of oil and natural gas, generate more stable cash flows than other energy sectors. This is due to their fee-based business model and long-term contracts. She outlined three key reasons investors are allocating capital to midstream including positive growth trends in North American natural gas demand, the defensive nature of midstream assets during oil market volatility and an attractive dividend yields that surpass those offered by utilities and REITs. Morris noted that midstream offers exposure to natural gas infrastructure without the price volatility of the commodity itself. She added that Q1 2025 results showed resilience, with companies reaffirming EBITDA guidance. Growth opportunities in the sector are centered around natural gas and natural gas liquids, particularly through LNG exports and increased electricity demand. Midstream firms are expanding infrastructure from production to export, supported by long-term contracts and appealing returns. #proactiveinvestors #MidstreamEnergy #EnergyETF #NaturalGasDemand #StaceyMorris #EnergyInfrastructure #AlerianETF #OilPrices #LNG #InvestorInsights #CommodityMarkets #EnergyMarketUpdate #DefensiveInvesting #ProactiveInvestors
