Proactive - Interviews for investors

Sprintex Ltd (ASX:SIX) managing director Jay Upton talked with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about the company’s latest commercial development, the completion of commissioning of compressor operations for Mest Water in the Netherlands.

Upton explained Sprintex had been working with Mest since mid-2024, with a key team recently visiting Europe to oversee the commissioning process.

"It is great news that we've got the system going as we would like," Upton said, highlighting the innovative nature of the Mest Water compressor system.

Now that the performance and efficiency of the systems have been validated, Mest Water is moving into full-scale production, with plans to meet significant demand.

This strategic collaboration is focused on developing a custom compressor for reducing ammonia emissions from agriculture.

Upton noted that the Netherlands alone had approximately 22,000 pig and cattle farms, representing a major market opportunity.

Beyond its work with Mest Water, Upton shared updates on Sprintex’s broader commercial strategy, including new distributor agreements in the UK, Turkey and India.

He also discussed India’s growing focus on hydrogen production from biogas, an area where Sprintex sees additional opportunities.

Looking ahead, the company is preparing to showcase its G-Series industrial compressor at the Hannover trade fair in Germany.

Ondo InsurTech PLC (LSE:ONDO) CEO Craig Foster talked with Proactive about the company’s latest trading update and its expanding presence in the United States. The company has signed a pilot deal with Liberty Mutual Insurance, one of the largest home insurers in the US, marking a significant milestone in its growth strategy.

Foster highlighted that Liberty Mutual is the sixth-largest personal lines insurer and a Fortune 100 company.

S&U PLC (LSE:SUS) chairman Anthony Coombs takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s latest trading update, highlighting positive momentum in its Advantage and Aspen businesses.

Coombs noted that Advantage, S&U’s motor finance division, has seen improvements in collections and efficiency, aided by an easing in regulatory restrictions. He acknowledged ongoing uncertainties, particularly regarding the Supreme Court’s upcoming review on commission disclosure, which has impacted the UK’s motor finance sector. However, he expressed confidence that the business remains strong, with better customer engagement through the newly launched site.

Discussing Aspen, S&U’s property finance division, Coombs highlighted a strong performance with over 50% profit growth. He attributed this success to sustained demand for residential property and a favourable interest rate outlook.

Coombs remains cautiously optimistic about the future, citing early signs of regulatory changes having a positive impact on operations. "The efficiencies and the change in techniques that were brought about by regulations is beginning to have some beneficial effect," he stated.

Empire Metals Ltd Managing Director Shaun Bunn talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest advancements at the company’s Pitfield project in Western Australia. Bunn highlighted that the team has made significant progress in mineral separation and hydrometallurgical test work, rapidly moving through the process flow sheet.

He explained that early lab testing on ore samples collected last year has demonstrated successful separation of titanium-bearing minerals and the development of a high-value product. A key milestone has been the recovery of over 91% of titanium through acid digestion, marking a crucial step toward defining a final product specification.

Bunn further outlined the next steps, which include scaling up test work from small batch processing to industrial levels by collecting and processing 50 to 80 tonnes of material. This will allow the company to generate bulk samples for potential customers and partners, reinforcing Pitfield’s potential as a major titanium project.

He emphasised that the chemistry and technical aspects of the project are coming together well, and investors can expect further updates as larger-scale test work progresses.

Mode Mobile CEO Dan Novaes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss how the company is redefining smartphone usage by enabling users to earn rewards for everyday activities. Unlike major tech companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google, which profit from user data, Mode Mobile returns value directly to consumers.

The company’s software rewards users for tasks they already do, such as playing games, reading news, trading stocks, or even charging their phones. Available on any Android device, Mode Mobile also offers its own branded smartphones, which are sold at major retailers like Walmart and Best Buy.

Novaes compared Mode Mobile’s business model to Roku’s, which earns revenue from streaming rather than hardware sales. By partnering with advertisers, the company allows users to earn rewards while engaging with content. “If you think about what Uber did for cars or Airbnb did for homes, we believe we’re creating a new asset class for smartphones,” Novaes said.

Looking ahead, Mode Mobile is raising capital and has reserved the ticker symbol “MODE” with Nasdaq, signaling a potential public listing. With over 33,000 shareholders and a vision to tap into a multi-billion-dollar market, Mode Mobile is poised for significant growth in the evolving mobile rewards economy.

Corero Network Security CEO Carl Herberger joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s strategic vision for 2025, emphasizing global expansion, innovation, and the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Herberger outlined Corero’s increasing global footprint, with new sales offices opening in the Middle East, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region, reinforcing the company’s commitment to expanding its market reach.

A key highlight of Corero’s strategy is the Core platform, which enhances distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection by integrating complementary cybersecurity solutions. “Our customers no longer need to go elsewhere for additional security solutions—we’re bringing everything into our portfolio,” Herberger stated, signaling a shift toward a more comprehensive cybersecurity approach.

As AI-driven computing continues to grow, so does the demand for advanced data center security. Herberger emphasized that Corero is well-positioned to meet these demands, thanks to its strong partnerships with industry leaders like Akamai and Juniper Networks. He also projected rapid growth in Net Revenue Retention (NRR) for 2025, reflecting the company’s expanding customer base and increasing adoption of its solutions.

With a strong focus on execution, Corero aims to drive sales and strengthen its market presence in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity sector, positioning itself as a key player in the fight against modern cyber threats.

Sprott Director of ETF Product Management Steve Schoffstall joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the latest trends shaping the nuclear energy and uranium markets. He provided insights into policy shifts, investor sentiment, and long-term growth drivers in the sector.

Schoffstall highlighted the potential impact of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies on nuclear energy, noting a strong focus on energy independence, grid security, and an accelerated expansion of nuclear power. He pointed out that newly appointed U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is already taking steps to support the sector, including advancing research into next-generation nuclear reactors and streamlining permitting processes to accelerate project development.

Investor interest in uranium and nuclear-focused ETFs remains robust despite recent market volatility driven by geopolitical factors. Schoffstall also addressed the challenges posed by recent tariff changes, including a 10% tariff on Canadian uranium and a 17.5% increase in duties on enriched uranium from China. These developments are introducing uncertainty for utilities and fuel procurement strategies.

Looking ahead, Schoffstall pointed to major long-term demand drivers, including projected electricity demand growth and an ongoing uranium supply deficit.

Despite short-term price fluctuations, he remains optimistic about uranium miners, as investors continue to recognize strong fundamentals and future opportunities in the sector.

With increasing government support and rising demand for nuclear power, Sprott sees uranium as a key asset for energy security and long-term investment growth.

Falcon Gold CEO Karim Rayani joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of drilling at the company’s Great Burnt Copper Project in Central Newfoundland. Falcon Gold has successfully completed 8 kilometers of road construction leading to the drill site from the government access road, which it shares with Benton Resources. The company has engaged Warrior drilling to do the work.

Rayani highlighted that the Great Burnt Greenstone Belt, known for its copper and gold prospects, also hosts the South Pond A and South Pond B copper-gold zones, as well as the End Zone copper prospect along a 14 km mineralized corridor. This corridor occurs along a conductive trend, which extends into Falcon's Great Burnt Copper Property.

The initial phase of the drilling program will be 10 holes and will focus on priority targets identified through geophysics and historical drilling, with the goal of expanding known mineralization and testing new high-potential zones along the interpreted structure.

Suvo Strategic Minerals Ltd has extended its offtake agreement with Chaozhou Chengcheng Industrial Co. for an additional five years, ensuring continued supply of hydrous kaolin from the Pittong operation until February 2030.

The agreement, valued at approximately A$6.56 million, includes a take-or-pay arrangement with a minimum order quantity of 8,750 tonnes.

The new contract marks a significant increase from the previous three-year agreement, which covered 4,225 tonnes, incorporating a 25% annual rise in minimum order volumes.

The updated terms will take effect from February 2025 while maintaining the same contractual conditions.

This extension follows Suvo’s recent renewal of a major sales contract with Norske Skog for another three years, reinforcing demand for its hydrous kaolin product.

The company attributes the increased order volumes to a successful marketing campaign throughout China. Suvo anticipates significant growth in sales volumes this year, supported by rising demand from major customers.

Additionally, the Pittong operations reported positive EBITDA of A$510,000 and a net profit of A$390,000 last quarter. Suvo continues to explore further product development opportunities to expand kaolin sales and generate positive cash flow.
