Proactive - Interviews for investors

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1, OTCQB:HLOGF) CEO Lorna Blaisse talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest developments for the company, including a major milestone in Tanzania and updates on its US drilling campaign.

Blaisse discussed receiving an offer letter for a mining licence in Tanzania, highlighting its significance as the first of its kind for helium and its larger-than-standard 480 km² coverage. She explained that this will allow Helium One to further appraise the subsurface structure following its Itumbula discovery. The company is currently reviewing the terms, including regulatory requirements and partnerships with the Tanzanian government.

On the US front, Blaisse provided updates on the Jackson-31 well in Colorado, confirming free-flowing helium gas with no water association—an important distinction from the Tanzanian project. The rig is now mobilising to drill Jackson-4, part of a broader development campaign that will see multiple wells drilled in the coming weeks. Blaisse also reaffirmed that Blue Star remains on track for helium production in the first half of 2025.

With active projects in both Tanzania and the US, Helium One is progressing toward becoming a key helium producer.

Sayona Mining Ltd Managing Director & CEO Lucas Dow talked with Proactive about the company’s growth strategy and key priorities for 2025.

He highlighted that Sayona Mining is currently North America's largest spodumene producer, with over 200,000 tonnes produced annually at its North American Lithium (NAL) facility. The company also has its Moblan project, a greenfield development in partnership with Investment Quebec.

Dow discussed the strategic rationale behind Sayona’s merger with Piedmont Lithium, announced in November 2024. He noted that extensive exploration at NAL had significantly increased the resource base, making an expansion possible. However, an existing offtake agreement with Piedmont posed challenges, which the merger resolves. Sayona expects operational synergies from the merger to generate cost savings of between $15 million to $20 million per year.

For 2025, the company’s key priorities include reducing unit costs, optimizing production, and achieving cash break-even. Additionally, Sayona is focused on completing the merger by mid-year and progressing both brownfield expansion at NAL and development at Moblan.

Dow emphasized the company’s commitment to efficiency and growth, stating, "We’re really quite excited about the opportunity this move is going to provide."

North Bay Resources has reached a key milestone in its gold production efforts, successfully completing a test shipment of 327 lbs. of gold concentrate from the Bishop Gold Mill to Just Refiners in Reno, NV. CEO Jared Lazerson shared the update with Steve Darling from Proactive, emphasizing the company’s progress in optimizing mill operations and enhancing gold recovery from its Fran Gold Property.

The February ore processing runs yielded approximately 2.44 troy ounces of contained gold from 10 tons of ore, equating to a recovered gold grade of 0.24 ounces per ton. Additionally, 0.1 ounces of contained gold remains in low-grade concentrate at the mill. Current estimates place overall recovery at 50%, with gravity-recoverable gold recovery at 70%.

Metallurgical testing suggests that up to 67% gravity recovery can be achieved, with an additional 30% recoverable through flotation. To further enhance recovery rates, North Bay Resources is bringing its flotation circuit online, targeting very fine gold and gold in quartz that is not efficiently captured by existing gravity separation methods. This upgrade is expected to boost overall gold recovery by up to 30% as the company continues to refine its extraction process.

With ongoing improvements to both its gravity and flotation circuits, North Bay Resources is poised to significantly enhance gold recovery and production efficiency at the Bishop Gold Mill, marking an important step in its broader operational strategy.

Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share details on the upcoming testing, which will assess multiple pay zones identified through extensive geological analysis.

According to the company, data from logs, cores, cuttings, and seismic studies indicate seven distinct interpreted pay zones. Flow testing of the shallowest six is set to begin before the end of March 2025. Easley noted that analyses of comparable formations suggest potential flow rates ranging from 200 barrels per day (bpd) to 2,000 bpd, depending on reservoir quality and fluid characteristics. The company anticipates that flow rates from the deepest horizon will be on the lower end of this range, while the shallower horizons could yield the highest rates.

Confirming in-place and recoverable contingent resources depends on the success of these flow tests, which will provide crucial data on fluid composition, reservoir properties, API oil gravity, gas-oil ratio, and in situ saturations. Previous guidance remains unchanged for the Upper Schrader Bluff and Prince Creek formations, with flow data set to be released at the conclusion of testing for each horizon.

A key strategic goal for Pantheon is to integrate successful flow test results from the deeper zones into the broader Ahpun development plan. The company highlighted that positive results would validate the potential for future 10,000-foot lateral well completions from the Megrez Pad, leveraging existing processing infrastructure to maximize economic returns.

With testing scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, Pantheon Resources is poised to gain critical insights into the production potential of Megrez-1, further advancing its development strategy in Alaska’s North Slope.

Georgina Energy PLC CEO Anthony Hamilton takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the latest operational progress at the company's Hussar and Mt Winter projects.

At Hussar, Hamilton explained that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS1) has been completed, although the addition of 50 square kilometres to the project area means a further EIS2 study is required. Site access for required surveys is scheduled for next week, with the final report expected to be submitted by May.

Discussing Mt Winter, Hamilton highlighted the completion of the share sale agreement and ongoing steps to finalise the Aboriginal Land Rights Access Agreement (ALRA). Once approved by the minister, Georgina Energy expects the formal granting of the exploration permit. The company has also engaged consultants to reinterpret seismic data, with an updated resource assessment anticipated in April.

Additionally, Georgina Energy has been evaluating historical oil wells for potential reentry. Initially reviewing over 200 wells, the company has now narrowed its focus to two viable targets. Discussions with ownership parties are ongoing, and Hamilton noted that any material developments will be disclosed via an RNS.

Pantheon International PLC partner and co-manager of PIP Charlotte Morris takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s performance and strategy during the reported six-month period. Morris shared that while the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, Pantheon International's portfolio saw a modest 3.2% value increase, supported by valuation uplifts across all investment types and resilient sectors.

Morris highlighted, “Valuation gains have been boosted in part by the exits that we've seen across the portfolio that have generated uplifts to the last valuation before a sale of about 26%.” These gains translated into a 2.3% NAV performance, aligning with the broader listed private equity sector trends.

A significant move included rightsizing the company's revolving credit facility from £500 million to £400 million, maintaining flexibility to increase it up to £700 million. The net debt to NAV was around 9.2%, well within the board's 10% guidance under normal market conditions.

Pantheon International continued its share buybacks while committing approximately £88 million to new investments. Additionally, the company appointed three new non-executive directors, all with private equity experience, to enhance governance and strategic oversight.

Discussing the three-step corporate program, Morris noted that step three focuses on stimulating demand for Pantheon International's shares to narrow discounts in the medium term. This strategy involves a marketing plan to broaden awareness of private equity and highlight Pantheon International's investment trust as a viable option for gaining private equity exposure.

Looking ahead, Morris expressed cautious optimism, with early signs of market confidence returning and a potential increase in deal activity over the coming years.
