Proactive - Interviews for investors

ox Tungsten CEO Steve Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on initial assay results from the company’s fully funded 20,000-metre 2026 drill programme at the Fox Tungsten Project in British Columbia.

The first results cover 18 holes from this year’s campaign, with resource expansion drilling at the RC South Zone confirming multiple intervals of tungsten mineralization, including several higher-grade zones. Approximately 52 holes have now been completed, with drilling expected to continue through late October and additional assays to be released as results are received.

Gray said the RC South drilling continues to demonstrate tungsten mineralization along the southern extension of the RC Zone. The results have identified broader mineralized intervals containing higher-grade tungsten zones, supporting what the company sees as a strong geological connection between the BN and RC zones.

The ongoing resource expansion work is aimed at improving the understanding and continuity of the mineralized system while potentially expanding the project’s existing resource base.

Fox North, an emerging exploration target west of the BK Zone, has also provided valuable geological information. Previous drilling identified multiple intervals containing visible scheelite, including several previously unrecognized parallel zones.

While the initial Fox North assays did not return significant tungsten grades, Gray said the drilling has provided important geological information from an underexplored area. The results will help the company refine its geological model and identify potential targets for future exploration.

With drilling continuing into late October, Fox Tungsten expects additional assay results from the 2026 programme to provide further insight into the scale, continuity and grade distribution of tungsten mineralization across the Fox Project.

Radiant Uranium CEO Clive Massey joined Steve Darling from to discuss the company’s uranium exploration portfolio, plans to advance its Cross Lake project and the potential for additional discoveries across its three Saskatchewan projects.

Massey explained that Radiant Uranium was established approximately a year ago in response to rising uranium prices and expectations for increasing electricity demand. The company subsequently acquired three projects it viewed as relatively de-risked: Cross Lake, Gorilla and Key Lake.

Cross Lake is expected to be the company’s primary exploration focus. Massey highlighted historical exploration dating back to the 1970s that outlined approximately 371,000 pounds of uranium at an average grade of 0.38%, according to the interview.

Radiant is currently undertaking consultations as it advances permitting for the project. Once approvals are secured, the company plans a three-phase exploration programme beginning with ground geophysics and short-hole drilling to refine targets ahead of a larger diamond drilling campaign planned for 2027.

Exploration will focus in part on potential extensions of the Narrow Zone, which hosts the historical uranium estimate and remains open in two directions.

The company also plans additional exploration at its Gorilla and Key Lake projects. Massey highlighted Key Lake’s location along the same uranium-bearing trend as the Key Lake, Cigar Lake and McLean Lake mines, with ground geophysical surveys being considered to investigate potential extensions of known mineralization.

Massey said Radiant expects the next three to six months to be active as the company advances permitting, exploration planning and technical work across its portfolio.

Starcore International Mines CEO Robert Eadie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss encouraging initial results from the company’s 2026 geophysical exploration programme at the San Martin Mine in Querétaro, Mexico.

The programme has identified four areas of interest — Anomalies I, II, III and IV — that Starcore believes warrant additional geological investigation and, in some cases, drilling.

The exploration campaign combined an airborne MobileMT electromagnetic survey and magnetic survey conducted by Expert Geophysics with a ground-based Induced Polarization and resistivity survey completed by GEOTEM. The company also incorporated the reprocessing and interpretation of historical magnetometer and IP data completed in 2024.

Eadie said the integrated approach is helping Starcore develop a better understanding of the geological and structural controls surrounding the known San Martin mineralized system while identifying potential extensions and new exploration targets.

Anomaly I is located close to existing mine infrastructure and near the projected extension of known low-angle mineralized bodies. Current interpretation suggests the anomaly could extend between 300 and 500 metres and has an east-west orientation. The zone appears to have been affected by post-mineral faulting, with underground mapping in the northern portion of the mine supporting the interpretation.

Starcore plans to test Anomaly I through drilling to determine whether the geophysical response is associated with an extension of known mineralization.

Anomaly II represents another significant target, extending approximately two kilometres and appearing in more than one geophysical dataset. The consistency between the datasets provides additional support for the interpreted anomaly, although the company says its complex structural setting requires further geological and three-dimensional interpretation before drill targets are finalized.

The company plans to refine and evaluate Anomalies I and IV through drilling beginning in mid-October 2026, while Anomalies II and III will undergo further geological and geophysical analysis.

Eadie said the programme is designed to improve drill targeting both around the existing San Martin mine and in surrounding areas where volcanic cover has limited previous exploration, potentially opening up new areas for future mineral discovery.

Eastport Critical Metals CEO Daniel Major joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s diversified critical minerals portfolio in Botswana, recent rare earth drilling results and plans to advance its uranium, copper and nickel projects through 2026 and into 2027.

Major highlighted Botswana’s established mining industry, infrastructure and government support for mineral development. Eastport Critical Metals has six projects covering five commodities, with its portfolio focused on minerals that could benefit from growing global electrification and demand for critical raw materials.

A major focus is the company’s large-scale uranium project in northern Botswana, where an exploration target covering almost 300 square kilometres has been identified. Gravity surveys and additional geophysical work are underway to refine targets ahead of a drilling programme expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027.

The company is also advancing its rare earth project near Gaborone, where recent drilling returned an intersection exceeding 330 metres at 0.21% rare earths. Major said further assay results are pending as Eastport evaluates the scale and continuity of the mineralization and determines the next phase of exploration.

At its nickel-copper project near the Selebi mine, soil sampling has identified correlations between nickel-copper anomalies and the underlying geology. Eastport plans to conduct additional electromagnetic surveys to help define potential drilling targets.

Major said the company is continuing to evaluate opportunities across its broader portfolio while prioritizing its larger-scale projects. Depending on the development requirements of individual assets, potential strategies could include joint ventures, asset sales or spinning projects into separate companies.

Looking ahead, Major pointed to growing interest in rare earths and copper from both companies and governments, while also highlighting the potential for renewed investor attention toward uranium as global demand for critical minerals continues to grow.

Eastport’s diversified approach is designed to give the company exposure to multiple critical mineral markets while allowing it to advance projects according to their individual exploration and development potential.

Hydrogen Solutions CEO James Busche spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's H2 Hotbox technology, its potential to address cost and reliability challenges in hydrogen production and energy storage, and the next steps towards commercial deployment.

Busche explained that Hydrogen Solutions is developing technology to provide dispatchable, zero-carbon energy that can complement intermittent renewables like wind and solar. "The problem that we have with hydrogen today is a combination of cost and reliability in producing and using it, and that's what Hydrogen Solutions is solving," he said.

The H2 Hotbox can operate as both an electrolyser and a fuel cell, supporting hydrogen production and electricity generation, with each application representing an independent commercial opportunity. Building on more than a decade of research at the University of Queensland, the company has developed a ceramic seal to tackle durability issues caused by material expansion and contraction in hydrogen systems.

Busche also highlighted the technology's high-temperature operation and ability to use waste heat, improving efficiency and enabling energy costs competitive with diesel: "It's much cheaper than current global prices for diesel." Potential early markets include Europe, parts of Asia, Africa and Australia, particularly regions without substantial domestic hydrocarbon resources or with a strong focus on cutting emissions.

Looking ahead, Hydrogen Solutions plans to scale up the H2 Hotbox, complete more than 10,000 hours of accelerated life testing and undertake full-scale testing in an industrial environment, milestones Busche said will demonstrate its durability, efficiency and commercial suitability.

Blackbird PLC (AIM:BIRD, OTC:BBRDF, FRA:FBD) CEO Ian McDonough spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about Google's selection of the company's elevate.io video editing platform for its Chromebook Perks programme, describing it as a significant endorsement and a potential opportunity to expand its reach among Chromebook users.

McDonough said the selection is an important milestone for Blackbird, which is still in the early stages of rolling out elevate.io and has recently passed 1,000 paying subscribers. "It's off the charts and we're incredibly pleased," he said of the validation from Google.

He explained how elevate.io enables professional-grade video editing directly in a browser, letting Chromebook users create and collaborate on video projects without expensive, high-performance hardware. According to McDonough, Google assessed the platform's security and performance across different Chromebook models, including older devices, before selecting it.

The initial UK rollout will let Blackbird gauge user interest and engagement. McDonough highlighted around 800,000 Chromebooks sold annually in the UK, with hopes that a successful launch could support expansion into the much larger US market. Around 20 million Chromebooks are sold each year globally, offering significant exposure despite Blackbird's modest marketing budget.

Beyond Google, McDonough discussed potential future partnerships with other hardware manufacturers, including laptop, camera and drone companies, as well as software and AI platforms.

AuMEGA Metals Ltd CEO and managing director Sam Pazuki talked with Proactive about standout high-grade gold results from the company’s 100%-owned Intersection Project in Newfoundland, including a surface sample grading 100.5 g/t gold.

Pazuki said the result represents the second-highest grade rock sample ever collected across AuMEGA Metals’ property portfolio and the highest-grade sample collected from the Intersection property itself. The result came from an area that has seen very little historical exploration and forms part of the company’s systematic approach to building a pipeline of new drill targets.

Two additional samples from Intersection returned grades of 23.8 g/t gold and 23.1 g/t gold. Pazuki said these initial results had helped open up a new area in a greenfield setting, with further rock and till assay results still pending.

AuMEGA Metals is also progressing exploration across other parts of its Newfoundland portfolio. The company is drilling at Bunker Hill, awaiting assays from drilling around Cape Ray and assessing potential extensions to the existing resource corridor. Pazuki said the company is pursuing a three-pronged strategy spanning greenfield exploration, resource expansion and brownfield discovery opportunities.

He added that exploration is expected to continue into the winter, with further drilling plans already under discussion and additional assay results expected to support ongoing target generation.

Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Dr Tim Coughlin spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest exploration work at the Margaritas target in Colombia, where the company has identified significant silver-antimony veins as it continues its search for a deeper porphyry copper-gold system.

Coughlin said the significance of the veins comes from the combination of mining widths and grades, with veins around four to five metres wide carrying high grades of silver alongside antimony and gold. Encountered during the maiden drilling programme at Margaritas, completed in June, subsequent mapping and sampling have extended the area of interest to around 450 by 420 metres. "We're starting to build an idea of a silver vein resource sitting above what was the initial target of Margaritas, which is a deeper porphyry copper gold system," Coughlin said.

Royal Road is using multi-element geochemistry, geophysics and geological mapping to understand the broader hydrothermal system and help vector exploration towards its hotter, potentially more prospective parts.

Coughlin also discussed the possible relationship between Margaritas and the nearby Güíntar porphyry target, saying it's "probably more likely that Güíntar and Margaritas are attached to the same underlying big porphyry intrusion intrusive system."

Drilling at Güíntar is progressing towards the anticipated porphyry stockwork, while Royal Road continues advancing other opportunities across its Colombian portfolio, with Coughlin highlighting ongoing drilling results and access to projects in southern Colombia as areas for investors to watch.
