Proactive - Interviews for investors

Livium Ltd CEO Simon Linge talked with Proactive about the company’s focus on battery recycling and its potential for growth. Livium’s recycling business is now at break-even and is scaling rapidly to meet increasing demand. The company specialises in recycling large-format batteries for major OEMs, including Hyundai and Volvo.

Linge explained that the market for large-format battery recycling is projected to grow from its current size of tens of millions of dollars to approximately $120 million by the end of the decade. He highlighted that government regulations are tightening, pushing the industry towards sustainable disposal methods.

Livium has introduced a commercial model where clients pay a service fee for safe battery disposal, with potential rebates from recovered materials. The company is also exploring adjacent opportunities, such as battery storage and diagnostics, and is in discussions with international recyclers looking to collaborate.

Additionally, Linge revealed that the company has secured an in-principle government grant of approximately $850,000, supporting its plans to expand across Australia.

Altech Batteries Ltd CFO Martin Stein talked with Proactive about the company’s recent milestone—securing final licensing approval for its CERENERGY battery plant in Germany. This approval marks a crucial step, allowing Altech to proceed with construction once financing is secured.

Stein explained the significance of grid storage batteries in stabilising renewable energy supply and outlined the advantages of Altech’s sodium fluoride-based CERENERGY batteries. Unlike traditional lithium-based solutions, these batteries are fire-safe and free from critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and graphite.

Discussing financing, Stein highlighted Altech’s engagement with corporate advisors KPMG to secure equity and debt partners. He also noted potential government grants and subsidies in Germany, though political transitions have created some uncertainty. Despite this, Stein expressed confidence in securing funding, backed by offtake agreements for the plant’s first five years of production.

With an estimated 18-24 month construction timeline, Altech aims to play a key role in Europe's transition to sustainable energy storage solutions.

EMQQ Global founder Kevin Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the IMQQ India Internet UCITS ETF, a fund designed to capture the rapid digital transformation happening in India. Carter emphasised that India is experiencing a "digital golden age", driven by three key megatrends: rising consumer demand, widespread smartphone adoption, and expanding internet access.

Carter explained that India has the world’s largest and youngest population, coupled with one of the fastest-growing economies. As more Indians gain access to affordable smartphones and internet services, they are rapidly integrating into the digital economy. He highlighted that companies in India’s internet sector—ranging from food delivery to online beauty retail—are experiencing explosive growth.

He also pointed out the India Stack, a government-backed digital infrastructure initiative that has enabled financial inclusion for 800 million people through Aadhaar-based digital identification. This foundation, along with seamless digital payments, is accelerating India's transition into a highly connected economy.

Discussing the ETF’s methodology, Carter stated that the fund focuses on India’s new-age technology companies that dominate e-commerce, financial services, and consumer technology. Some key holdings include Zomato (food delivery), Nykaa (beauty e-commerce), and Makemytrip (online travel services).

Although the market has seen a correction recently, Carter remains bullish on India’s long-term digital growth, comparing it to China’s rise two decades ago. He believes long-term investors have a significant opportunity in India’s expanding internet sector.

Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) chief financial officer Julian Maurice-Williams takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through two major announcements from the company's renewable division.

The first announcement covers the financing closure of Etana Energy, Chariot’s electricity trading joint venture in South Africa. The financing totals $175 million, with backing from institutions like Norfund and Standard Bank, Africa's biggest bank. Maurice-Williams explained, “Etana is fully funded, and this strengthens its balance sheet, making it bankable and creditworthy.”

The second update is a power purchase agreement for a 75-megawatt solar project in South Africa, with electricity to be traded through Etana. This project, set for construction in Q2, was enabled by the guarantee financing secured by Chariot. Maurice-Williams emphasised that these developments mark “two big steps forward for our renewable division towards first revenues.”

Chariot expects further renewable projects to reach financial close soon, expanding both its trading and generation revenue streams. The company also continues advancing its oil and gas projects in Morocco and other African markets, with updates expected in the near future.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest results from the final seven holes of the Phase 5 drilling programme at the Bibemi Gold Project in Cameroon.

Rosser highlighted that all drill holes were in the Bakassi Zone 1 mineral resource estimate (MRE) area, with multiple gold intersections identified. Notably, six of the seven holes were on new drilling fence lines, reducing spacing to 50m. He explained that this additional data strengthens confidence in the JORC resource calculation and suggests potential for MRE expansion. “We’re expecting scope for an increase in the MRE and also an enhancement to the JORC categorisation,” he stated.

Oriole Resources is now integrating geological and structural data into a revised MRE, expected in Q2. The company also continues metallurgical testing and has submitted an environmental and social impact assessment to the ministry. These studies will support Oriole’s engagement with the government regarding an exploitation license.

Race Oncology Ltd chair Peter Smith talked with Proactive about the approval the company has received from the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). The approval allows the company to move forward with its clinical trial for RC220, a new formulation of bisantrene.

Smith explained that the trial aims to establish the safety of RC220 both as a standalone treatment and in combination with doxorubicin, a commonly used chemotherapy drug. "What we’ll be seeking to achieve is establishing the maximum tolerated dose for the combination of the two drugs together," he said.

The study will also investigate whether RC220 can reduce doxorubicin’s known toxicity to the cardiovascular system. Smith highlighted that doxorubicin can cause permanent heart damage, potentially reducing patient lifespan by the equivalent of a decade. The company aims to demonstrate that RC220 can enhance anti-cancer effects while mitigating heart-related side effects.

The trial will be conducted in multiple phases, beginning in Australia, with expansion planned into Korea and Hong Kong later in the year. Smith noted that the Cancer Care Foundation is playing a role in patient support and accessibility.

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive about the company's latest performance testing results for G®LUBRICANT, a graphene-based engine oil additive. Nicol explained that testing conducted with the University of Queensland has demonstrated an 8.5% fuel efficiency improvement in high-load conditions.

He highlighted that the additive works by reducing friction in the engine, allowing for better lubrication and fuel economy. “Thirty percent of your fuel is wasted due to piston friction, and our product addresses that issue,” Nicol stated.

The interview also covered GMG’s commercial rollout strategy, initially targeting the B2B trucking market in Australia before expanding into larger diesel fuel markets globally. Nicol emphasized that truck owners could save approximately $8,000 per year in fuel costs by using the additive.

Additionally, Nicol discussed GMG’s partnership with the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana to advance graphene aluminum-ion battery development. He noted that the company recently secured a $5 million capital raise to support product commercialization, expand production capacity, and explore a potential U.S. stock exchange listing.
