Proactive - Interviews for investors

Firebird Metals Ltd (ASX:FRB, OTC:FRBMF) managing director Peter Allen talks with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about the company’s operations in China and the competitive advantages of producing LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate) in the region.

Allen highlighted China's unique industrial parks, advanced technology and cost efficiencies as key drivers for Firebird Metals’ strategic growth in the country.

“China’s industrial parks offer a low-capital, low-operating-cost environment, with access to reagents, off-takers and complete waste-free processes,” Allen explained.

He emphasised the proximity to global battery production hubs, noting that one-third of the world’s battery gigafactories are in or near the Hunan province where Firebird operates.

Allen also discussed the company's growth strategy: “Our focus is to demonstrate our capabilities in China and eventually expand to meet growing Western demand.”

Firebird Metals has received robust support from local governments, tax incentives and partnerships, which underpin its competitive position in the lithium battery supply chain.

Pantheon Resources Executive Chairman David Hobbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the Megrez-1 well in the Ahpun field has been confirmed as a discovery after reaching its Target Depth. The company has run 5 ½" production casing in preparation for long-term testing, scheduled to begin in early 2025.

Preliminary analysis indicates that Megrez-1 intersected multiple horizons containing light liquid hydrocarbons over 2,060 feet of measured depth. The well penetrated several reservoirs of Maastrichtian age, consisting of interbedded sands and shales. Notably, it encountered the Upper and Lower Prince Creek formations, interpreted to contain light liquid hydrocarbons over a gross vertical interval of 510 feet, from 5,440 to 5,950 feet.

In the coming months, Pantheon will analyze an extensive data set gathered from the well, including whole core samples, VAS cuttings analysis, logs, and sidewall cores. Preliminary results are expected by February 2025, providing insights into detailed reservoir characteristics and informing the design of the long-term production testing program.

The company plans to leverage the Nabors-105AC rig, currently stacked on the Megrez gravel pad adjacent to the Dalton Highway, to streamline operations once testing commences. This discovery marks a key step forward in unlocking the potential of the Ahpun field.

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share key updates on the company’s progress in 2024. The company has confirmed a significant resource of 1.7 billion tonnes of indicated and inferred potash, derived from just 2% of its expansive 1,200-square-kilometer property in Gabon. A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) projects a robust $1 billion after-tax NPV and a 32% after-tax IRR, ranking among the industry's highest returns.

Abasov also highlighted successful financing rounds totaling over $3.7 million, with notable insider participation. These funds will support crucial initiatives, including an environmental assessment study scheduled for completion by late 2025, and a second-stage drilling program designed to potentially double the company’s current resource estimates.

Discussing global potash demand, Abasov underscored its vital role in fertilizers, driven by steady 3-4% annual growth in major agricultural markets like Brazil, India, and China. Millennial Potash is focused on addressing Africa’s agricultural needs by providing a local source of high-quality potash, aligning with the continent's increasing demand for sustainable farming inputs.

These milestones position Millennial Potash as a key player in advancing sustainable agriculture and meeting the global need for essential fertilizers.

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) executive chairman Kirill Klip talked with Proactive about recent developments on the Los Azules Copper Project. He highlighted McEwen Copper's milestone of securing an environmental permit for the construction and operation of Los Azules, marking a transformative phase for TNR Gold. Klip emphasized that the company holds a net smelter returns royalty (NSR) on the entire project in Argentina.

Klip discussed the impact of Rio Tinto's $35 million investment in McEwen Copper through Nuton Technology, which he described as a significant vote of confidence. He also outlined the technology's role in making Los Azules one of the world's first green copper-generative mines. McEwen Copper plans to release a feasibility study in early 2025, potentially leading to a construction decision next year.

When addressing valuation, Klip noted TNR Gold's royalty on Los Azules could be valued as high as $30 million, referencing similar deals. He added that this transformation could unlock further value for shareholders, moving the company toward cash flow generation.

Ananda Developments Plc (AQSE:ANA) finance director Jeremy Sturgess-Smith takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the latest findings related to MRX1, the company's lead investigative medicinal product. Developed in 2023, MRX1 targets inflammatory conditions such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and endometriosis, and it is also being studied in heart failure.

Sturgess-Smith explained how leftover blood plasma samples from earlier research were analysed for NT-proBNP, a critical biomarker for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). He said, "MRX1 was found to significantly reduce the levels of NT-proBNP in the mice versus the control mice." This, according to him, provides strong translational data to justify advancing to human studies.

The results also bolster the company's patent application for MRX1. Ananda is now planning a larger preclinical study to explore additional biomarkers and evaluate MRX1's efficacy. Sturgess-Smith emphasised that the team is beginning to outline steps toward the first human study.

AuAg Funds CEO Eric Strand talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the performance of gold and silver in 2024 and his bullish 2025 outlook for precious metals. Strand highlighted that gold prices surpassed expectations in 2024, reaching $2,790 in October, despite some pullbacks. He emphasised that factors such as central banks lowering rates and persistent inflation will likely drive gold to between $3,000 and $3,300 next year.

Discussing silver, Strand noted the improving gold-silver ratio and the metal’s strong potential for growth. He also pointed out that while mining costs had risen due to inflation, lower energy prices and stabilised costs, positioned gold and silver mining companies for margin expansion. Strand believes geopolitical tensions, ongoing inflation, and rising middle-class consumption in emerging markets will continue to support the value of precious metals.

Looking ahead, Strand remains optimistic about gold and silver prices, with the potential for strong performance by mining companies in 2025.
