Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Ionic Rare Earths Ltd.

The company has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with DNA Link to collaborate on recycling permanent rare earth magnets in South Korea, the world’s third-largest magnet market.

The partnership aims to establish a secure, sustainable and traceable ex-China rare earths supply chain, potentially involving support from the South Korean Government and international stakeholders.

The agreement aligns with Ionic Rare Earths’ global expansion strategy for its patented magnet recycling technology. It also supports the development of its Belfast, UK, recycling facility, scheduled to commence operations in late 2026.

DNA Link is developing a 1,000-tonne-per-annum neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet manufacturing plant in South Korea, set to begin production in 2025.

The MoU includes areas of collaboration such as recycling swarf from DNA Link’s facility, offtake agreements for recycled magnet rare earth oxides, potential joint ventures on magnet recycling and supply chain initiatives for NdFeB magnet production in the US.

Both companies also plan to seek government support and establish transparent pricing mechanisms.

Ionic Rare Earths aims to replicate its Belfast model in international markets, reinforcing its strategy to create a secure and sustainable rare earths supply chain outside China.

Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s impressive third-quarter financial results for the period ending December 31, 2024. Hive reported strong performance across key metrics, including revenue of $29.2 million, net income of $1.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $17.3 million. The company also ended the quarter with a robust financial position, holding $270.7 million in cash and digital currencies.

During the quarter, Hive successfully mined 322 Bitcoin, further strengthening its HODL strategy. At quarter-end, the company’s total digital currency assets were valued at approximately $260.8 million, including 2,805 Bitcoin, based on a Bitcoin price of $93,400.

Looking ahead, Hive anticipates a transformative year in 2025, with ambitious expansion plans aimed at positioning the company as one of the world’s largest Bitcoin miners. A key driver of this growth is its 300 MW expansion in Paraguay, which is expected to quadruple Hive’s hashrate from 6 EH/s to 25 EH/s by September 2025.

In addition to its mining operations, Hive is making significant strides in high-performance computing. The company is scaling up its AI-focused cloud computing business, leveraging new NVIDIA H100 and H200 clusters. These cutting-edge systems are projected to generate $20 million in high-margin run-rate revenue for AI model training and cloud computing services by Q2 2025, based on current growth and performance trends.

With a solid financial foundation, aggressive mining expansion, and a growing presence in AI-driven cloud computing, Hive Digital is well-positioned for substantial growth in the coming year.

Digbee Limited founder and CEO Jamie Strauss and Catalin Kilofliski, CEO of Canagold Resources, joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss Canagold’s recent independent ESG assessment conducted by Digbee. The evaluation provided key insights into Canagold’s corporate governance and sustainability practices, allowing the company to assess its strengths and identify areas for improvement.

Pan African Resources Plc CEO Cobus Loots takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s first-half results, recent production challenges, and exciting growth plans. Despite a temporary dip in output due to commissioning delays at the Evander underground mine, Loots said the company expects a stronger second half, supported by the high gold price and increased production from its Mogale Tailings Retreatment (MTR) project.

Loots highlighted that MTR, which was delivered ahead of schedule and below budget, is set to produce around 50,000oz annually for 20 years at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,000. He also noted the potential for increasing MTR production to 60,000oz per year through cost-effective improvements.

Discussing the Tennant Consolidated Mining (TCM) acquisition in Australia, Loots confirmed that production is set to begin in April, with output guidance of 48,000-60,000oz next year. He emphasised that the majority of Pan African’s production will now come from low-cost surface operations.

With the company maintaining its 2025 production guidance at 215,000oz and forecasting an increase to up to 308,000oz in 2026, Loots expressed confidence in the company’s future.
