Tooru PLC (AIM:TOO, FRA:73N) CEO Scott Livingston talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the deal to buy Mylky BV, a Dutch e-commerce business that sells small home appliances enabling consumers to make their own plant-based milks, and how it fits into the company’s broader growth strategy.

Livingston outlined how Mylky has achieved rapid success, growing to €9 million in revenue within just two years. He attributed this to the product’s unique technology, strong intellectual property, and highly effective direct-to-consumer marketing approach across Europe. He said, “Mylky in a very short space of time has… grown exponentially,” highlighting the strength of the brand’s execution and market fit.

The acquisition, valued at £12 million, was structured to minimise risk while leveraging Mylky’s profitability, cash position, and subscription-based business model. Livingston emphasised the importance of recurring revenue streams, including ingredient subscriptions and potential cross-branding opportunities with Pulsin. The deal also brings access to a customer base of over 70,000 users, which he described as a valuable asset for future growth.

Looking ahead, Livingston identified the UK as a major untapped opportunity. The company plans to launch Mylky in the region through a co-branded strategy with Pulsin, supported by data-driven marketing and consumer insights gained from other European markets.

HANetf co-CEO Hector McNeil joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to make the case for the Drone UCITS ETF (LSE:DRON), targeting what he estimates will be $150 billion of drone spending between now and 2030.

McNeil explained that modern conflicts have turned drones into a dominant force — low-cost, scalable, and increasingly decisive on the battlefield. But the opportunity extends beyond defence, with commercial applications in agriculture, logistics and beyond, continuing to expand.

The ETF takes a pure-play approach, focusing on companies where drones are core to the business rather than a footnote in a large aerospace conglomerate's accounts. The index also includes mechanisms to fast-track new IPOs, keeping exposure current as the sector evolves rapidly.

Purepoint Uranium Group CEO Chris Frostad joined Steve Darling from Proactive to report strong results from the company’s winter 2026 drill program at the Nova Discovery, part of the Dorado Joint Venture Project in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.

Purepoint, operator of the 50/50 joint venture with IsoEnergy, completed 5,210 metres of drilling across nine holes within the Nova Zone. The program successfully extended both uranium mineralization and favourable geology, further strengthening the discovery.

Downhole probe readings reached a peak of 73,100 counts per second, building on previously reported assay grades of up to 8.1% U₃O₈ at the Nova Discovery. Assay results from the winter 2026 program are currently pending.

Frostad noted that the drilling campaign expanded mineralization at Nova and extended the associated geological contact to approximately one kilometre in strike length. The results have also helped establish a more refined targeting framework to support continued exploration and expansion.

Looking ahead, regional drilling at the Dorado Joint Venture Project is expected to resume in late June 2026. In addition, an airborne MobileMT survey is planned for the spring, with interpretation results set to guide summer drill targeting.

1911 Gold Corporation CEO Shaun Heinrichs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on progress at the True North mine, highlighting key milestones in the company’s dewatering and rehabilitation efforts.

Heinrichs reported that the dewatering program has reached approximately four metres below Level 26, enabling crews to begin rehabilitation work on that level. Dewatering to the bottom of the shaft is expected to be completed before the end of May.

Once rehabilitation on Level 26 is finished, the company plans to advance diamond drilling in the high-grade 710–711 zone and begin development work required to support a return to production next year.

Crews have already started cleanup activities in the shaft area on Level 26, followed by repairs to essential systems, including compressed air, ventilation, and electrical infrastructure. After dewatering the remaining 50 metres below Level 26, the company will inspect and repair the loading pocket, a critical step for test mining activities scheduled later this year.

In parallel, 1911 Gold has made significant progress upgrading its mill processing facility. This includes placing deposits on a new crushing circuit to support the planned restart timeline. The mill is currently expected to be operational by mid-2026, excluding the new crushing circuit, which is scheduled for completion later in the year.

To support increased activity, a new camp facility has been installed, adding capacity for 36 personnel, with an additional camp expansion planned for the third quarter of 2026.

The company is also continuing to secure mobile mining equipment, either through acquisitions or deposits on new units, to support upcoming test mining and a full operational restart targeted for 2027.

Frontier IP Group PLC (LSE:FIPP, FRA:8WT) CEO Neil Crabb joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a landmark €211 million Italian state-backed grant awarded to portfolio company 2D Photonics - equivalent to around 22p per Frontier share on a proportional basis.

The funding will finance a pilot plant capable of manufacturing graphene-based photonic chips at scale using 200mm wafers, marking the transition from research to industrial deployment. Crabb explained that graphene's advantages over silicon - wider bandwidth, lower energy use and reduced cooling needs - make it increasingly attractive as data centres and AI models drive demand for more efficient compute infrastructure.

Frontier IP holds a 9.1% stake in 2D Photonics and is making broader progress across its portfolio, with developments at Alusid, Pulsiv, GraphEnergyTech, The Vaccine Group and Cambridge Raman Imaging underpinned by strong tailwinds around sustainability and European technology sovereignty.

Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT, FRA:BYA1) CEO Francesco Gardin joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's £500,000 placing and what it unlocks strategically.

Gardin explained the raise was deliberately modest to limit dilution, while ensuring the company has firepower for near-term opportunities, including Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas and ongoing discussions with ASIC manufacturers under NDA. A strong cash position, he said, is essential when negotiating commercial partnerships.

The other focus was BlocKeeper, a new subsidiary pursuing a capital-light "virtual mining" model - buying hashing power rather than building infrastructure. An Aquis listing for BlocKeeper is already well advanced, with a team and advisory partners in place. Gardin also confirmed strong bondholder support at a recent meeting and ruled out any plans to delist.

Botala Energy Ltd (ASX:BTE) CEO Kris Martinick joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a pivotal moment at the company's Serowe CBM Project in Botswana — the spudding of well 3.5B, its first true production well.

Martinick explained that years of groundwork — reservoir modelling, desorption testing and a network of dewatering wells — are now complete, making 3.5B the critical step from preparation to output. He draws parallels between Botswana's geology and Queensland, Australia, where CBM has underpinned a multi-billion-dollar LNG industry.

The commercial backdrop is compelling: Southern Africa faces significant gas shortages, a gas offtake agreement is already in place, and the Botswana government is supportive. Next steps are flow testing, pilot production, and replicating success across additional wells.

Iofina PLC (AIM:IOF, OTC:IOFNF) CEO Dr Tom Becker joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss a strong start to 2026, with Q1 iodine production up 44% year-on-year to 179 metric tonnes, prompting an upgrade to H1 guidance from 325-355 metric tonnes to around 385 metric tonnes.

Becker credited the ramp-up of the IO#11 plant, a strong operations team and better winter conditions for the outperformance. Looking ahead, a new, larger plant under construction in the Permian Basin is expected to process around 50,000 barrels of brine per day - double existing capacity - and produce up to 220 metric tonnes of iodine annually when it comes online in Q3.

On the market, iodine prices remain firm in the mid-$70 per kilogram range, underpinned by steady demand from healthcare applications and emerging opportunities in solar and refrigerant gases. Iofina has also remained largely insulated from global supply chain disruption thanks to its diversified operations.
