Proactive - Interviews for investors

Helix Exploration CEO Bo Sears joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the completion of the Darwin #1 well drilling at the Rudyard project area in Montana, where they reached a total depth of 5,488 feet within 12 days. Initial assessments showed promising helium gas-shows across multiple horizons, with concentrations reaching up to 1,312 ppm in drilling mud.

Over 330 feet of potential gross pay was identified, including untapped formations not covered in historic drilling. The results indicate a larger anticline structure than initially modeled, as the target horizons came in higher than predicted. Sears noted that Darwin #1 appears to have been drilled near the apex of a more extensive domal anticline, suggesting a broader closure extent for the reservoir.

Helix now plans to perform wireline logging at Darwin #1 to define specific zones for perforation and testing. The company is concurrently testing another well, Ingomar, marking a notably active phase for Helix. Additionally, ongoing testing at Clink #1 is set to reveal first gas analysis results soon, providing further insights into the company’s Montana exploration potential.

Chemomab Therapeutics CEO Dr Adi Mor talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about recent advancements in Chemomab's mission to treat rare fibrotic diseases, focusing on primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Following the release of the company's third-quarter results, Mor shared that Chemomab’s lead candidate, CM-101, a drug targeting inflammation and fibrosis, recently delivered positive topline results in a Phase 2 clinical trial. “We are targeting rare diseases with large commercial potential and high unmet medical need,” he noted, highlighting Chemomab's strategic approach.

In a significant milestone, Chemomab will meet with the FDA by the end of this year to finalise plans for a Phase 3 pivotal study, which could mark a transformative phase for the company and the PSC treatment landscape. Mor pointed out the potential for FDA acceptance of noninvasive biomarkers as registration endpoints, indicating substantial de-risking for CM-101. She also shared updates on Chemomab’s extended study on PSC, expected to deliver additional data by Q1 2025.

Mor highlighted the commercial potential in treating PSC, noting there are no approved drugs for this condition that affects approximately 80,000 patients in major markets. Additionally, Chemomab recently raised $10 million, securing its financial runway into 2026, aided by support from top-tier investors like OrbiMed and new partners such as HBM Partners and Sphera. This capital will fund upcoming milestones, as well as further development for CM-101.

Far East Gold Ltd (ASX:FEG, OTC:FEGDF). CEO Shane Menere joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss the company’s latest milestone.

It has delivered an initial JORC 2012 inferred mineral resource estimate of 540,000 ounces of gold at 4.1 g/t and 468,000 ounces of silver at 3.6 g/t at its Idenburg Project in Papua, Indonesia.

This estimate, based on just three prospects within the Idenburg Contract of Work was developed by SMG Consulting using historical drill hole data and new topographic survey information without additional drilling.

The prospects contributing to this estimate — Sua, Bermol and Mafi — are three of the 14 targets identified, covering only 30% of the project area, leaving substantial potential for future exploration.

SMGC conducted a comprehensive review, modelling mineralisation based on geological continuity and grade using inverse distance weighting (IDW) for Sua and Mafi.

FEG aims to expand the initial resource through surface mapping, sampling and a phase 1 drilling program.

Future exploration will include infill and step-out drilling, metallurgical sampling and geophysical surveys to enhance resource delineation.

The Idenburg Project benefits from good infrastructure and access via the Trans Irian Highway, offering efficient logistical support.

More information can be found in a video discussing the update on FEG’s investor hub.

Scout Security Ltd (ASX:SCT) CEO and executive director Ryan McCall talks with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about the company’s latest strategic move: a merger with Roo Inc., a fellow DIY home security company.

McCall outlined the mutual benefits of this merger, which will combine the companies’ strengths in the DIY security and smart home markets, enhancing scale and efficiency.

Scout Security, initially a direct-to-consumer business, has pivoted toward white-label partnerships, delivering custom solutions to telecommunications companies, ISPs and security providers.

By merging with Roo, Scout aims to leverage economies of scale and increase cash flow.

“What it means is you’re taking two smaller but similar companies … combining them and then gaining a lot of economies of scale,” McCall explained, noting that Roo’s consumer retail experience complemented Scout’s white-label strategy.

The merger is designed to create new revenue streams by rolling up smaller security and IoT companies.

McCall highlighted this approach as a way to compete with larger industry players by building a scalable entity that can deliver valuable products and reliable returns.

Investors will also note the strategic financial positioning, including a recapitalisation that McCall said positioned the stock price advantageously.

Imugene Ltd (ASX:IMU, OTC:IUGNF) CEO Leslie Chong and Professor Yuman Fong, chair of the Department of Surgery at the City of Hope and strategic advisor to Imugene, spoke with Proactive’s Tylah Tully about the latest developments in Imugene’s CF33 MAST (Metastatic Advanced Solid Tumours) VAXINIA study.

Professor Fong, the inventor of CF33, described the approach behind the therapy, where genetically engineered viruses are designed to infect and kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.

“In our lab, we prioritized creating a virus that could kill cancer of various types while remaining safe for humans,” he noted, explaining that this latest generation of the CF33 virus has shown positive results across a broad range of cancers, including melanoma and bile duct cancer.

Chong and Professor Fong discussed the ongoing trials, where Imugene has received FDA orphan drug status and is seeing promising tumour responses in patients with advanced-stage cancers, including the challenging bile duct cancer.

Chong highlighted the stability achieved in patients participating in the trial, some of whom previously exhausted other treatments.

She explained, “Even at low doses, we’re seeing disease stabilization, which is remarkable given that these patients have been through multiple other therapies before coming to us.”

As CF33’s clinical trials continue, Chong and Professor Fong are optimistic about the potential to offer a new option for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.

With the backing of a strong clinical and manufacturing team, Imugene is now expanding the trial to additional patients and combining CF33 with CD19-targeting drugs to further evaluate its impact on immune response and tumor reduction.
